Ginny sighed and tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear. She was standing in front of her mirror examining a tattoo that had appeared on her arm. It looked like green ivy had wound its way up her arm and was swirled around her back. When Ginny woke up this morning she went to brush her hair and teeth and noticed the tattoo. Ginny had not left her room since then and her mother was beginning to worry that something had happened to her. Ginny decided that she was going to write a letter to her best friend Hermione and see if she had any idea what it was. After Ginny finished the letter she went to her closet and pulled on a long sleeve shirt that was a little big in hopes of covering it completely before heading downstairs to get something to eat and calm her mother down.

Meanwhile at the Granger house

Hermione reread Ginny's letter explaining the tattoo on Ginny's arm. Hermione looked down at her own arm which had waves towards her wrist and water wrapping itself around her arm and covering her back. Hermione had woken up to find this two days ago and was, like Ginny, curious. She wrote a reply to Ginny saying that she would be at the Burrow shortly and then they could head to Flourish and Blotts and search for books and hopefully solve their mystery.

Hermione appeared in a cloud of green smoke in the fireplace of the Burrow. She stepped out of the fireplace and dusted off before looking up to see Ginny standing there.

"Hi Ginny," Hermione said.

"Hi Hermione," Ginny replied before grabbing her best friend's hand and dragging Hermione up the stairs to her room. When they reached the room Ginny shut the door and locked before walking and sitting on her bed beside Hermione. Hermione rolled up the sleeve of her shirt revealing her tattoo to Ginny. Ginny did the same.

"So do you have any idea?" Ginny asked breaking the silence that had over come them.

"No but we better get going if we want to have enough time," Hermione answered standing up with Ginny following. The two girls made their way downstairs informed Mrs. Weasley of their whereabouts before Flooing to Diagon Alley. When they arrived they immediately headed in the direction of Flourish and Blotts.

As soon as they arrived the two girls headed up the stairs and towards the section on Environmental Beings and Such. After looking for a while Ginny finally came across a book entitled The Elementals.

"Hermione, I think I may have found something," Ginny said walking over to her friend and showing her the book.

"This should be it," Hermione said before taking the book and heading down the stairs and over to a secluded reading section. When they arrived they were surprised to see Draco Malfoy and Blaise Zabini sitting in two of the chairs that had been pulled closer reading a book that appeared to be the exact same as the one the girls chose.

"What are you doing here?" Malfoy demanded once he realized they were there.

"We could ask you the same question," Hermione shot back. Draco growled out of frustration before throwing his arms in the air revealing red flames that licked their way up his arm. Hermione gasped before walking over to him grabbing his arm and pushing up his sleeve and then showing his arm to Ginny who also gasped.

"What's in that head of yours, Granger?" Malfoy said pulling his arm back and pushing his sleeve down. Hermione pulled her sleeve up showing Draco her tattoo and then motioned for Ginny to do the same where Draco motioned for Blaise to. Ginny and Blaise both raised their sleeves revealing their tattoos.

"Holy crap," Draco said, saying what everyone else wanted too.
