*the poll has about an even number on the options I like it, and I don’t like it. So I will still do it, just not as much. That is until I get a lot of I don’t like its then I will try not to do it too often. Well, enough of my blabbering, a very short and pointless, Part two*

[CENTER]Chapter 10 part two.[CENTER]

“Hermione, if we don’t hurry the boys will come up and hex us!” I called into the bathroom where Hermione was changing into her swimming suit.
She came out looking really pretty, I must say. She was wearing a navy blue one-piece, and blue flip flops, and her hair was back in a bun.

“Well you look nice.” Hermione smiled as she passed me. I had to admit, I did look better than usual. I was wearing a black and white polka dotted bikini with black shorts over the swimming suit bottoms, and my hair was flowing freely.

“Lets go!” I ordered, seeing as Hermione was just looking at me. We went downstairs and I grabbed the sun block, a towel for me and Hermione, and my sunglasses.

“Let’s hurry before the boys catch up.” I whispered. We took off running through the orchard until we reached the other side where the blue water of the Weasley-Lovegood Lake was gleaming in the bright sunlight.

“Hermione, want to jump in?” I asked.

“Sure I-” SPLASH!

“HARRY!” I screamed.

“RONALD!” Hermione screamed.

“Harry, what did you do that for, the poor ladies were all dry, and now they have to come into the lake. You are not a very good friend.” Ron scolded while treading water and laughing his lungs out.

“Sorry, when I see a very good friend and my girlfriend standing on dry sand while I am having fun in a lake, I must get them to come in with me.” With that he hopped up onto the ‘diving board’, which was a piece of wood magically stuck to the shore, and started coming towards me as Ron followed suit and walked towards Hermione.

“Now!” Ron screamed as Harry lunged and scooped me up in his arms and Ron did the same with Hermione.

“What are you doing?” Hermione screamed.

“You girls might want to take a deep breath.” Harry warned. I did as I was told as Harry jumped off the diving board and into the water. We made a big splash as we hit the surface, and I sunk down so far I touched the bottom. I opened my eyes to see Harry smiling at me under the water. I smirked, pushed his shoulders and floated to the top.

As I inhaled deeply I heard another splash as his head broke the water.

“That was not funny!” I scolded as I did the backstroke around Harry. He grabbed my feet and pulled me into a vertical position while Hermione and Ron swam up to us.

“So, what do you guys want to do? We have the whole day to stay out here and relax; you guys really do need it.” I told them, going back to the backstroke. Ron eyed my suspiciously. “What, I’m bored and I want to do something. It’s not my fault all you want to do is tread water, I want to swim.” I told him. He just shrugged and went back to talking.

We decided on playing Marco Polo, a game that Hermione had taught us, and we played that for about an hour.

We got out and since it was almost noon we decided to eat the picnic that we brought. I laid out my towel while the others did the same. I grabbed my sunglasses, my sandwich, and my strawberry lemonade and lay down on my black and white polka dotted beach towel.

“Hermione, could you help me with the sun block?” I asked, trying to reach my back, acting like a buffoon, and making both Harry and Ron roll around laughing. She started laughing to.

“Sure, Ginny, hand me the bottle.” She put her hand out. I handed it to her. As soon as the cold, goopy white substance touched my back I jumped, knocking the bottle out of her hands and spraying it all over Ron. He jumped back in surprise and wiped off the goop while we all stated laughing.

“Now what?” Harry asked a short while later, when we were all done eating lunch and relaxing on our towels.

“Hmm. Lets just swim for a while. Then, if someone thinks of something more interesting, we could do that.” Hermione suggested.

The rest of the day we just messed around in the lake. It was very relaxing, and we smiled all day. I think Harry smiled more today than in his fifth and sixth year put together.


All too soon the sun was setting and we trudged back to the Burrow dripping wet with lake water.
