All Who Wander

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the plot. The characters are JK Rowling's and the song is Good Charlotte's. Happy reading!

Description: AU Ginny just wanted to play with the band and get her family back together. Can a simple tour in Europe make things worse then they already are? She wanders, but is she really lost?

It was just supposed to be another stop on the tour, but he made it something more. He made me want to stay, but I'm a wanderer and I can't settle. He said I was lost and should find him when I'm found. I said not all those who wander are lost.

******United States, Washington DC******

Ginny Weasley gently opened her eyes and looked around the room she's known for all her life. Tomorrow she would be in a hotel room some where in Ireland with out the convenience of magic. That was the problem with muggle tours. You had to be careful what you did, what you brought, even what you said. Their reporters are vicious and make up rumors about anything.

Stepping out of bed she walked over to the spray painted dresser to look at her reflection. Deep reddish black hair fell to her shoulders, she had almond shaped brown eyes, and a little upturned nose. She thought she looked like any normal 15 year old.

So why was she famous?

"Skullie chow's ready!" Fred called from the kitchen pulling her from her revere. Padding down the carpeted hallway, she sat down at the table and looked at her family.

Her brother Bill was the oldest and the provider of the family since Mom and Dad left. He worked as a code breaker for Gringots bank and loved his family more than anything. He had long ginger red hair held back in a ponytail and made girls swoon by walking by.

Her second oldest brother was Charlie. He started the first magical zoo specializing in the birthing of Dragons. Charlie was a quidditch fanatic an could watch a game for hours. In his free time he coached little league quidditch. He had short spiky ginger red hair and had a wonderful heart.

Her third oldest brother, Percy, sat next to Charlie. He was in the band and played bass. His dream in life was to become American President of Magic, but that had taken a back seat once the band hit it big. He had short spiky ginger red hair with some spikes dyed black. He was the worrywart of the family, but he was well intentioned.

The middle child was George. He was the lead singer of the band, but also co-owned a small joke shop with his twin brother Fred. He loved to make people laugh, but people at Washington Wizarding High just didn't understand that. He had blood red hair, not too short and not too long, but what turned people off were his facial piercings. He always looked out for the rest of us and took the blunt of the blow in our battles.

George's twin, Fred, was secondary singer and guitarist. Fred was the wacky kind of person that would steal the school mascot and wear it to the spring dance. He never cared what anyone thought of him, but was over protective of his family. He got in allot of fights, which of course made George get in allot of fights, but it was good to have someone protecting us. He had blood red hair, but with black streaks in it. He had allot more facial piercings than George, but was always kind hearted.

Her youngest brother Ron was the drummer. They grew up watching each other's backs. He took her physical battles, she took his verbal. He was a chess mastermind and could strategize world domination if he really wanted too. He had longer spiky hair, which at this moment was blue and black. He had a fetish for dying his hair, as did she.

She was Ginny (aka Skullie) and the lead guitarist. She had a knack for getting in fights, which needless to say isn't that great. She could create good tattoos, and was an amazing artist. She had reddish black hair and a pierced eyebrow. Several ear piercings and belly button ring later she decided she had enough metal. She was the glue that held the band together and was the unofficial peacemaker.

The twins made breakfast today, so everyone ate with great caution. You could never tell when one of there experiments would `accidentally' slip into the food.

She could tell the Charlie and Bill were worried. This was the first time they were going on tour with out them. They were all each other had.

"When are you leaving?" Bill asked while nervously flipping through the morning paper. He had asked that question everyday this week.

"Around 11 pm tonight," Ron answered as he began to chow down on his food again. Living with 6 brothers, she had learned the definition of `chowing down.'

"Do you want to do something today, maybe s a family?" Charlie hopefully asked. He was definitely taking the tour harder than Bill.

"We'll be home in two months," she said comfortingly as she reached across the table and patted her older brother's hand. She was really going to miss him.

Percy picked up his plate an rinsed it in the sink. Even though they were famous they still lived in a condo, albeit a magically enhanced condo, but a condo none the less. It was the last place they had called home. They had been used to moving every other week when they signed a record deal and pow, there they were with a permanent home.

"Ready to go practice?" Percy asked looking around the table. They all nodded and Ginny was the first to join him in the practice room.

He was already warming up when she entered so she started with him. Ron was the next to come in followed by the twins. They got into position as Ron started to hit his ticks and do the count down.

"That will be the opening in Ireland," Percy stated looking at the rest of the band who only nodded their heads.

"This tour is going to be fucking great!" Ginny screamed just as they started up another song.
