"Well, you won't die if you take the warnings more to heart," she teased. "And I daresay if you don't go hiking up the side of the volcano's, either. Yeah, I can see how that would be really hard for her. I remember what it was like, to bury... Fred." She paused, pushing back the sorrow. "I'll text her after the storm, see how she's doing."
Ginny took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, thinking back on the day when she found out what was really going on. "I was still in training, when I was told about the lottery. Just one mental day running into another, and then to be told the prolonged cold was the start of another ice age. I don't think I took it as well as I'd like to have."
"Everything was a bit of a blur. Mum and dad needed help sorting everything at the Burrow, and I was still training. By the time the day arrived, well, it was... frightening but exciting, too. The worst part was having to walk into the Veil - after seeing Sirius lost into it - it was absolutely dreadful to even be near it. Then, stepping in, it was... like a cross between apparating and Flooing, except it took so long to end. Then the heat and air and the forest, it was all so rich."
