Because I'm gonna be out of town over the weekend, so let's just shove Miss Weasley in the hospital so she'll stop giving people a hard time, eh?
What symptoms will they have?: Hitting her with the plague of the flu sort. It'll be quite gradual at first with fatigue, mild headaches, loss of appetite so she'll still be heading to work and being out and about for a couple days, brushing it off. By late Wednesday night/early Thursday morning, it'll hit her full force and she'll come down with the fever and will spend her time in hospital being sick and throwing up and all that jazz. Being a witch does mean being able to fight it off a bit better than most, but being this ill does mean she might be prone to bits of wandless magic since it's out of her control. Watch out for small flying objects or harmless sparks in her hands.
What will their essence rite will be?: Since I'm planning on having her down for a majority of the plot, have fun with this ~quest~ that might take some time. Sobbing. Family is everything to Ginny, it's all a Weasley ever has at the end of the day, so you're gonna have to collect items that represent each member of her immediate family, including herself, and bring them to her. She'll get a little better with each thing and when she's got them all, she'll be over the worst of it!
1. ARTHUR — An airplane. Could be a toy! 2. MOLLY — Homemade apple pie. Store-bought won't work, you fiends. 3. BILL — Something from Egypt, preferably with hieroglyphics. Curse- and codebreaker, after all. 4. CHARLIE — Dragons! A toy? A tooth or claw you've got lying around? 5. PERCY — This one's easy: a spare pair of his glasses that he left behind right here in the City. 6. FRED & GEORGE — The twins are one and the same and their best invention? Fireworks. They're even safe for indoors so go ahead and alarm some staff by lighting them up. 7. RON — Chess. Play a game with Ginny, beat her (not hard, she sucks at chess, especially if she's out of it). 8. GINNY — Just get her broom and bring it to her. :(
What is the dream hinting (or outright telling) helpers about the essence rite like?: The dream will flash through images of each member of the Weasley family doing all these things. Arthur tinkering with model airplanes in his shed, parchment scribbled with How do they fly??? in front of him. Little Weasley kids picking apples in the orchard, bringing them to Molly as she bakes a pie for them. Bill creeping through some Egyptian tombs with his wand alight, scrolls of papyrus in his hands, translating curses on the walls. Charlie dodging fire breathed at him by huge-ass dragons or tending to injured ones. Percy reading late into the night, taking off his glasses to rub at his eyes. The twins inventing (you might recognise the shop as the one in the City!), setting off fireworks, clapping. Ron in an intense game of chess with his baby sister in the splendid Gryffindor common room. Finally, Ginny flying, sometimes through some of these moments, passing by a window or in the background of a field. Each dream will be oddly fuzzy, focusing on key things for a moment.
Are you open to anyone performing the essence rite?: I'm leaving it to close friends because they are her family in the City. But anyone can have the dreams and help people decipher them! Or if you have any other ideas, please feel free to contact me! :D
