No Matter What... - Sa16+
 

Hi, This is my first FF... Please be truthful... Or brutal... =]
This is set in Harry's fifth year. Just after the battle in the Department of Mysteries, just so you know.


'Tap tap tap’ sounded throughout Harry’s bedroom at Number Four Privet Drive. Looking round from the desk, Harry saw a miniature owl sitting on the window sill. Getting up to open the window, Harry glanced at the alarm clock he had repaired a few years ago. It was 11:30.
As pig flew into the room, he dropped Ron’s letter onto Harry’s bed, then started to zoom around the ceiling lamp. Harry picked up the envelope and opened it to find three pieces of parchment. Pulling them out, he saw that each one was a letter addressed to him. Unfolding the first one he read:

Harry,
You won’t believe what’s just happened!! Mums said that you can come here two weeks earlier than usual! Hermione’s already here, Fred and George told me to warn you that they have created a new line of sweets and that they need someone to test them on and Bill and Charlie are gonna be here a week after you arrive so they’ll be in Percy’s room.
Make sure your ready by Wednesday and don’t let the Muggles get to you…
Ron
Laughing at the fact that he would be avoiding anything Fred and George gave him, he placed Ron’s letter on his pillow and unfolded the second letter. Noticing that this one was from Hermione, he started to read.

Dear Harry,
Ron may have told you but Mrs Weasley has said that you will be here at the Burrow a few weeks earlier than planned! I do hope your okay, as Fred and George seem to be waiting for you to test their new products… if I was you, I’d be VERY careful! Everyone can’t wait to see you but I think that there’s one person in particular that wants to see to you…
Well, hope your fine and can’t wait to see you Wednesday,
Love Hermione

Harry placed this letter on the pillow next to Ron’s thinking about what Hermione had said… someone in particular… What did she mean by this? Did she mean what he thought she did? Unfolding the last letter, Harry didn’t recognize the handwriting.

Dear Harry,
I hope that you’re okay and that the Muggles are treating you good. I know that everyone asks you that question and you must be bored of it but… anyway, I know Ron and Hermione have already mentioned this, but mum says that you can come over two weeks earlier than planned! This means that you’ll be here for your birthday! I think mums already planning something so I’ll watch it… also Fred and George are planning something as well. All I know is that it involves you and sweets…
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to Wednesday and cant wait to see you…
Love Ginny

No Matter What... Sa16+
 

Oh, I forgot to mention that each post will be a chapter... So, chapter two :sunny:

Harry stared at the last two words. ‘Love Ginny… Love…’ Shaking head, Harry said to himself “She’s over you mate, she’s with dean… Get over it… She doesn’t like you anymore…” Picking up the other letters, Harry walked to the desk and started to write the replies.

MEANWHILE…
Everything at the Burrow was the same… Mrs Weasley was running round trying to control the twins, who were planning their attack on Harry when he arrived.
Ron and Hermione were helping Mr Weasley round up the chickens which were scattered all over the yard and the Ghoul was breaking the occasional silence by dropping the pipes. The only person who wasn’t seen was Ginny.
Ever since Monday morning when Mrs Weasley announced that Harry would be arriving on the Wednesday next week, Ginny had been in her room, just sitting on her bed looking out the window at the sky thinking.
The Saturday before Harry was arriving, Ron and Hermione were writing to Harry to tell him what had been happening, and Harry had replied to them instantly. Without anyone knowing, Ginny had written her own letter and slipped it into the envelop with the other two before they were sent off with Ron’s owl, Pigwidgeon.
As Sunday morning rolled through, Ginny was woken by a soft tapping at her window. Turning to look, she saw a snowy owl sitting on the ledge. Jumping up, Ginny ran to the window to open it so that Hedwig could soar in the window. Hedwig landed on Ginny’s pillow and held out her leg. There, rolled into a scroll, was a letter addressed to her.
Pulling it off and un- rolling it, Ginny saw that it was from Harry.

No Matter What... -Sa16+
 

Well... I have nothing left to do so i'll treat you...

Ginny,
Thanks for your letter, yeah the Muggles are the same as usual, they still think that I might turn them into bats though… Yeah I didn’t think about that… My birthday isn’t really celebrated here, it’s normally forgotten. As for Fred and George, Ron’s already warned me about the new sweets so I’m accepting nothing they put down in front of me, or I could hex them… Tell your mum that I don’t want anything too big, although she might not listen to me… Tell me… has Ron asked Hermione to talk to him privately yet?? If he hasn’t, tell him to get a move on. Don’t worry, I’ll tell you what it’s about when I get there Wednesday.
See you soon…
Harry

Ginny stood there by the bed staring at the letter in her hand. Why hadn’t Harry put her letter in with Ron and Hermione’s?? And why had it been delivered to her window and not the kitchen like every other letter…
Walking over to her desk, Ginny ran her hand absent mildly through her hair. Opening a drawer on her desk, she placed Harry’s letter on top of the photo album and shut the drawer again. Sitting at the desk, Hedwig fluttered over to let Ginny stroke her back.
“Hedwig, I don’t know how to tell him… And I’m scared that if I tell him he won’t feel the same way…”
Ginny sat there stroking Hedwig and looking out the window. She thought about Wednesday and how she would be able to tell him without letting everyone else know… How would she be able to do this?
On the other side of the house, Ron was sitting in his orange furnace of a room thinking as well. But instead of thinking about how to let his feelings out, Ron was thinking about their last year at Hogwarts. He knew that Harry wasn’t over Sirius’s death and that it wouldn’t be easy for Harry to admit this.

Oh my gosh. I'm so in love with this story. I love Harry/Ginny storyies. I so can't wait for more please post more soon.

No Matter What... -Sa16+ (Chapter 4)
 

As Ron laid his head on his pillow, Hermione walked in. Sitting down on the end of the bed, she looked at Ron.
"Whats the matter?" she asked him as he stared at the ceiling.
"I was thinking on how to get Harry to talk about what happened at the Ministry last week... I know i haven't seen him but i have a feeling that he thinks its his fault." Ron replied, still not looking at Hermione but focusing on a patch of light on the ceiling next to a Chudley Cannons poster.
"What makes you so sure about that?" Hermione sounded shocked as she asked this.
"I dunno. I know Harry well enough though and I'm sure he blames himself for what happened to Sirius."
But before Hermione could answer, Ginny had walked into the room and sat herself down on the other side of Ron's bed.
"Did you two get any replies from Harry?" she asked not looking at Hermione.
"Yeah, we did... Why?" Hermione asked sounding amused.
"Well, its just that before Errol had delivered the letters you wrote, I sneaked my one in to the envelope and his reply has just arrived." She started, avoiding Hermione's eye. "I think there's something wrong though... It doesn't sound like Harry wrote it and it doesn't mention anything about the Ministry..." She finished, now looking at Ron for his reaction.
"Ron thinks Harry blames himself for Sirius's death Ginny. Thats why Harry doesn't seem his- self... Don't worry, our replies were the same." Hermione reassured her.

Sorry thats all i can write at the mo... im on work experience and it was lunch so i thought that i'll post... :pfight:

:read!: Does no- body like my story?? :cry: I've only gotone reader... :read!:

:poke: *Pokes readers into reading story* :poke:


Back at the Dursleys, Harry had awoken by the same dream he had had for the last week.
Sirius was sitting in the department of Mysteries being tortured by Voldemort. Then the room changed and Harry watched as his godfather fell backwards through the Veil and out of sight. Harry ran forwards and felt someone grab his arm. Turning around he saw Voldemort. ‘It’s your fault Harry, He came here because of you’ he would say. Harry would feel a pain in his scar and close his eyes, only to see Ginny in the distance when he opened them again. He would reach out to her but she was always just out of reach.
Then Harry would wake up and wonder what some parts of the dream meant. Looking up at the chart on the wall next to his head board, Harry saw that it was Wednesday and that Mr Weasley was going to be picking him up at some point today.
Harry had started packing his trunk the night before but had it was only half done. Littered around the floor was a pile of robes next to the desk and scattered books which he hadn’t been bothered to look for.
Getting out of bed, Harry glanced at the clock on his bedside table. The luminous numbers told Harry that it was 7 o’ clock in the morning.

Chapter Six... And Hugs
 

Aww Thank you *smiles and hugs reader*

Are you really? Wow... I've got to find your work... Have you done any that i could read? *smiles and hugs reader*

Dont worry, you'll find out soon... =] *smiles and hugs reader*

Wow... Lots of hugs...

The trip to number 4 Privet Drive was long and tiring. Mr Weasley had waked Ron, Ginny, Fred and George up earlier than normal so that they could reach Harry’s by 10.
With much yawning and moaning, they were only a few miles away. As Mr Weasley glanced at the clock on the dashboard, which read half seven, Ron started moaning again.
“Why does Hermione get to stay back at home and we have to come and get Harry? It’s not fair… I could still be asleep”
“Ron, please give it a rest already… your not the only one who’s tired. Look at Ginny, she’s fallen asleep again.” Fred said with a hint of impatience in his voice.
Ginny had, once again, fallen asleep with her head resting on the window. Just like before, the car past over a speed bump and she awoke with a start.
“Are we there?” she said hopefully. She didn’t want to fall asleep in the car again and she wanted to see Harry.
“Nearly there, we should be at the top of the road… yes I can see the sign post now.” Mr Weasley said, pointing at the corner.
As Harry walked downstairs, he could hear a car driving down the road. Na, it can’t be them. It’s only just turned 10 and they live all the way on the other side of the country. Harry told himself as he sat down in the living room. But as he picked up the remote control for the television, he heard the familiar sound of a car pulling in to the driveway.
Getting up and looking out the window, Harry saw five people getting out of the car. Each one had fiery red hair and only one of them was a girl. Ginny’s here… Harry thought to himself, a smile spreading across his face.
Entering the hallway, there was a knock on the door. There on the door- step was five of the nine Weasley’s.
“Hi, I wasn’t expecting you to be here this early. It’s just turned 10.” Harry said moving aside to let them in. Mr Weasley stepped over the threshold and smiled at Harry.
“Well, we got up early so that we would be here by ten, as Molly is preparing a special lunch for us in your occasion.” He said as Ginny followed her brothers into the living room and passing behind her father, turning nearly as red as her hair when Harry smiled at her.

Wow ! That was FAST ! *hugs you like whoa!*:glomp:

New one ... NOW ! *poof* 'kay , I'll be able to wait a little . but not more than 30 min. :whip:

Luff, Gerly ;*

Another one
 

Please don't whip me.... =[

“Well, I’m glad that I had everything packed last night then.” Harry said smiling. “I’ll go get my trunk then and bring it down. It’s alright by the way. The Durlsey’s off visiting Aunt Marge in the country- side. They won’t be back until the first day of term.” He said, assuring Mr Weasley that it was okay to stay in the house for a while. As Harry passed Ron, he gestured that he could follow him.
“So, how you been…” Ron said nervously, as though expecting Harry to hit him for asking.
“Same as usual, the only difference is that I don’t have to put up with Dudley and that I have the run of the house. You?” Harry answered, not looking at Ron. He knew that Ron meant how he was coping after everything that happened at the Ministry.
“Well, it’s a bit different since what happened at the ministry, you know. Mum won’t let it go that we went there without letting anyone know and that you were so brave by taking control. And it doesn’t help that the Burrow seems to be the new Head Quarters…” Ron’s voice trailed of as he helped Harry carry his trunk down the stairs.
Back in the living room, Mr Weasley was playing with the television remote and Ginny was watching Fred and George play a game of exploding snap, which left burn marks in the carpet.
As Harry and Ron entered the room, Mr Weasley had figured out that he could change the channel on the TV. Ron sat down in the chair and Harry sat down in the only available seat left, on the couch next to Ginny.
“How have you been Gin?” Harry asked as Fred placed a 10 on the pile and it blew up in his face. Ginny turned a brilliant shade of pink before answering.
“Oh… Er… Okay. It’s been difficult you know, mum keeps questioning me about what happened at the ministry and saying that I was too young to go but I told her that I was a member of the DA and that I had the right to go.” She said, looking up at Harry.
“Right… I see that your ankle’s fine now then?” Harry said looking back at her and changing the subject. Why did he have to go red now?
But then there was a loud bang from somewhere above them and everyone looked up.
“Er, Harry did you leave anything up stairs?” Ron said, staring at the ceiling.
“Oh yeah, ‘coz with a sound like that Harry must of left a bomb upstairs Ron” Fred said as he made his way over to the door of the living room, drawing in wand on the way. George followed him.
“Dad, there’s people up stairs.” George told his father looking round to see up the stairs.
“Everyone out now. Get in the car. We’re going.” Mr Weasley said in a rushed whisper.

Chapter 8... and 9 =]
 

As the Weasley’s and Harry had reached the front door, there was a voice from upstairs.
“He’s not here… Dumbledore must have moved him already…” The voice sounded familiar to Harry, but he couldn’t place it. He opened the door and everyone filed passed him. As Ginny passed him, Harry went to move towards the stairs.
“Harry,” Ginny whispered, grabbing his hand. “No, come on, get in the car. Please.” She said looking him in the eye with a stare that made Harry’s heart miss a beat. Ginny was scared for him, and he was about to go up to a room full of Death Eaters.
“Okay Gin, I’ll get in the car.” Harry said, squeezing her hand slightly and letting him- self be dragged away from number 4 Privet Drive and into the car. Mr Weasley started the engine and Harry glanced out his window to look at the house.
It looked perfectly normal and Harry couldn’t see how they had entered the house. Ron seemed to be thinking along the same lines because as they rounded the corner he said:
“Dad, how did they get in if there’s no damage to the house and Dumbledore put that Anti- Aparating spell to the house?”
“I don’t know Ron, but let’s not talk about it now…” Mr Weasley said as he twiddled the steering wheel to the left. Harry sat back in his seat and shut his eyes thinking. How did the Death Eaters get in without passing the living room door, Aparating or blowing a hole in the roof?

Chapter Nine isn't quite finished in my opinion but if you like it tell me and i will carry on.

Ginny was watching Harry out the corner of her eye. He had wanted to go upstairs and sort things out, but he had listened to her and let her pull him away… Why though? Said the small voice in the back of her head. What made Harry choose between her or the Death Eaters? She copied Harry by closing her eyes and thinking to herself.
Harry opened his eyes and turned his head towards Ginny. What made him change his mind? All he could remember was that he wanted to go upstairs but Ginny had grabbed his hand. The moment her hand touched his, Harry had felt a shock of warmth spread from her hand up his arm. As Harry watched Ginny on the seat next to him, he noticed that her eyes weren’t closed properly. He looked away quickly as she turned her head towards him slightly.
Ginny had spotted Harry watching her and smiled to herself when he turned away. But then the little voice in the back of her head came round again. Ahh, you think he likes you, don’t you? But how can you be so sure? Remember, you thought he liked last year but it turned out he liked Cho… and you’re with Dean so he thinks you don’t like him.

~Codi~

Oh my gosh. Love the last posts. They were so good. You should finish chapter 9. Love that Harry wanted to go up and see but with the touch of Ginny's hand he changed his mind and listened to her. Harry is in love. So can't wati for more harry ginny ness

:glomp:'s you and tackles you for your all so cute story.

The Rest of Chapter Nine...
 

Harry had his own little voice in the back of his head. ‘You like her, don’t you? Why don’t you tell her…? Ahh, I forgot, she doesn’t like you. She likes Dean. Get over it now.’ Shaking his head, Harry started to talk to Ron about what had been happening over the last couple of weeks. Then conversation turned to the main story of the Prophet this morning.
“Yeah, but how do we know that this minister isn’t going to do what fudge did and pretend that Voldemort- Ron, get over it already.” Harry said, as Ron winced at the sound of the name. “Carrying on then, that he isn’t back and that I’m just making it up?” Harry finished. Earlier that morning, Harry had read that Fudge had been sacked and that the Wizarding community had a new minister. Someone called Rufus Scrimgeour. The picture gave Harry the idea that this minister was a lot different from Fudge. Instead of having a broad smile on his face, Scrimgeour had a kind of rough look about him.
“Maybe, but it doesn’t sound like it though does it? In that article, it said that he has placed extra security around Hogwarts and Hogsmeade so that we’re all safe.” Ron said, with the air of proving a very difficult point. Mr Weasley turned his head so that he could talk to them.
“So, Harry, you think that Scrimgeour isn’t cit up to do the job? Everyone else thinks he is, that’s why he got the job. He was the head of the Auror department so that makes him extremely well known to the Dark Arts and how to fight them.” Mr Weasley pointed out.


Sorry about the wait... coursework and work experience is so annoying!!

Chapter 10- Part 1
 

Its not finished but i have to post it...

As they drew nearer to the Burrow, Harry started to think of ways that the Death Eaters had entered the house. There was the Anti- Apperating spell on the house, that blood link thing he shared with the Dursleys' as well as all the other spells and charms Dumbledore had cast on the house. Harry couldn't figure it out. There was no possible way that the Death Eaters could enter the house.
The car came to a halt outside Harry's second favourite building in the world: The Burrow. Opening the car door, Harry smiled to himself. No matter what happened, he knew that he was safe here. The Weasleys' were here and he felt like he was at home.
Ginny had been watching Harry as he sat in silence all the way to the Burrow. The voice inside her head was still tellng her that he didn't like her but she had started to ignore it. As she went to grab the handle in the car door to get out, her hand brushed against someone's. At his touch, he felt a warrmth spread up her arm from her finger tips. She looked down at the sudden heat and saw that she had touched Harry's hand.
Harry felt someone touch his hand and looked down. Again he felt the same warmth that he felt back at the Dursleys when Ginny grabbed his hand. Looking up at her, he knew that she had felt this time.

Oh my gosh that was such a cute chapter. It gave me butterflies just to read about the harry ginny stuff. so can't wait for more. this is such a cute story.

aww that was sooo cute!!!

pams.
--Prongs.

Chapter 11
 

I changed my mind, that was Chapter 10 and this is Chapter 11!

“What just happened?” Ginny asked as Harry helped her climb out the car.
“I dunno...” Harry said as he helped Fred heave his trunk into the house. I think i'll ask Dumbledore next time i see him at school. Harry said to himself as Mr Weasley opened the door to the kitchen.
“Arthur, is that you?” called Mrs Weasley from the living room. As Mr Weasley answered, Ron motioned to Harry that they should put his stuff upstairs in his room.
Walking up the stairs, Harry almost ran into Hermione, who was on her way downstairs with an armful of dirty laundry.
“Oh, hi Harry. Was the trip here okay?” She smiled at him as she turned on the spot and walked back up the stairs with them. Harry and Ron filled her in on everything that happened at the Dursleys', and with each word they said, Hermione's face became more concered.
“But how did they get in though... I thought Dumbledore had put all those charms on the house so that the Death Eaters couldn't get in...” She said as Harry un- folded the camp bed at the bottom of Ron's bed.
“No idea. But i have a feeling it has something to do with the Ministry.” Harry said from behind the bedroom door as he searched for one of Ron's missing quills.
“What makes you think that? They haven't done anything to you so far this year...” but Ron's voice trailed off under the glare Hermione was giving him. Harry switched off from the conversation and started to think about what happened at the Ministry. He shoudn't of told Sirius about what he saw. But then again, Snape had no right to tell Sirius to stay in the house and hide. A hatred for Snape burnt through Harry.
“Harry? Are you okay?” Hermione asked nervously as she looked at him. He knew that some of that anger had shown on his face.
“Yeah, course i am.” He lied. He didn't want to make Hermione more worried than she already was. With that the coversation flicked to school.
“I think we should be getting our results for our O.W.L's soon.” Hermione voiced as they left Ron's room and headed downstairs. As they passed a door on the second floor landing, it opened.
Harry had a glimpse of the room behind the door before it closed. All the walls were a bright pink and one wall had a poster of the wizardin band The Weird Sisters. “Oh, Hi guys. What are you up to today?” Ginny asked Harry as she walked downstairs with them. Ron and Hermione in front and Harry and Ginny behind.
“Well, i thought that i might go for a walk up towards the hills” Harry said looking over the banister to the floor below.
“What on your own?” She said as she turned to look at him. He nodded at her. To her surprise, as they reached the top of the stairs he threw his arm out to slow her down.
“Its better if they don't hear this... Walk with me? then we can talk better.” Harry said in a whisper as Fred chased George downstairs.

I hope you like it.

Chapter 12
 

I just couldn't stop writing... Here's another Chapter...

Ginny opened the back door and moved so Harry could slip out. To avoid anyone walking through the house, Harry had put on his Invisibilty Cloak. Once they were outside, Harry pulled the Cloak off and stuffed it in his pocket.
“What did you want to talk about Harry?” Ginny asked him as they climbed a hill. Harry got to the top first and as Ginny went to put her foot down, she slipped. Harry caught her hand and pulled her up. As soon as his hand touched hers, they both felt the warmth shoot up their arms.
“That for starters...” Harry said as they sat down under the large oak tree at the top of the hill. As Ginny sat down, she looked down at her hand. There wasn't anything different apart from the heat ligering in her finger tips.
“That only happens when i touch your hand or i touch somewhere your hands been.” Harry said as he looked at his own hand.
“Well, what do you think it is?” Ginny asked him as she turned to look at him. He looked back at her before answering.
“I'm not sure, but i think i have an idea.” Harry said as she looked away from him and over the hills. The sun was setting and the sky had turned a deep pink shot with gold.
Harry followed her gaze and looked out towards the sunset. He stood up and held his hand out for Ginny. They walked further on over the hills. Harry leadng the way and Ginny following him.
Soon, Harry reached a hill that led onto a wood. He climbed to the top first and turned to help Ginny but she was right behind him. As he turned, she lent forwards and kissed him. As she did, she felt the warmth spread through her whole body as though she had jumed into warm water.
“Erm, well thats just, er, proved my idea.” Harry said as they broke apart. Ginny was now looking over the top of the trees behind Harry. “What was that for anyway?“ Harry asked her as he watched the sunset again.
“Well, i thouht it would help you wok out what happening w our hands touch..” Ginny said, now looking at Harry. She didn't look embarrased or ashamed but she a looking at Harry with a hard, blazing look.
“What, this?” Harry said smilin, as he grabbed her hand and pulled her closer to him.

that was cute!!! loved it, of course. =]

I'm really pleased that you like it so far... *Hugs all readers*

Hi to the new reader Meg... *Hugs for Meg*

Sorry about the spelling... I've got a new laptop and the buttons are stiff...

The Next Chapter...

The pair of them walked through the wood for a while and then headed back to the Burrow, Hand in hand.
As they neared the Burrow, Harry let go of Ginny's hand and slipped the Invisibitly Cloak back on and let Ginny walk in front.
“I've just thouht of something...” Ginny said as she stopped dead so that Harry walked into her. “Oh, sorry Harry... But i just thought, how do i tell Dean about us?” Harry stomach dropped. He had forgotten about Dean. Dean was Ginny's boyfriend after all, and he, Harry, had just spent all day walking round a wood with Ginny.
“Oh, well, to be honest, i totally forgot about Dean, but you'll think of a way to tell him.” Harry said as he put his hand on Ginny's shoulder. She felt his touch and smiled.
The back door came in sight and Ginny moved forwards to open it. As they entered the house through the kitchen door, a brown owl flew into the room through the kitchen window and landed on the table in front of Ginny and held its leg out to her.
Ginny pulled the letter off the owl's leg and un- folded it.
“it's from Dean...” Ginny read the letter and looked up shocked, at Harry, who had just materialised in front of her.
“What?” Harry sounded as shocked as Ginny looked. She handed him the letter to read.

Dear Ginny,
You know i went on holiday over this summer to ireland with Seamus, well, i met this girl over there and, well, I hope that your not really upset, but we got together...
I am really, really sorry but i thinks its best if i told you now rather than at school...
Love Dean

Harry looked up at Ginny when he reached the bottom of the letter. She was staring at the floor. Harry couldn't see her face as her hair was covering it.
“Ginny? Are you okay?” Harry asked as he placed his hand lighty on her shoulder. At his touch, Ginny looked up from the floor slightly, then jumped on him laughing.
“What are the odds that would happen again?” She laughed as she hugged Harry. “I can't believe it! We can tell everyone now!” Ginny said as she flung her arms round Harry's neck. Harry smilied and placed his arms round her waist.
Ron and Hermione had been looking for Harry all day. They were on their way downstairs to search the garden again, when they heard laughing in the kitchen.
“That sounds like Harry, doesn't it?” Ron said, glancing towards the kitchen.
“Yeah, it does... But isn't that Ginny?” Hermione said as she walked slowly towards the sound of laughter.


Abi...

Chapter 14...

As Ron and Hermione drew closer, so did Ginny and Harry. Still laughing, Harry lent forwards and kissed Ginny while outide the door, Ron and Hermione were startled by how fast the laughter had stopped.
“What happened?” Ron mouthed at Hermione, who shrugged her shoulders. He reached out a hand for door handle but Hermione pushed it away.
“Wait...” She said, smiling. With a flick of her wand, Hermione wordlessly summoned a pair of Extendable Ears from Fred and George's room. She handed one to Ron and feeded the other one under the kitchen door. For a couple of minutes, there was nothing, then Harry and Ginny's voices came through as f a radio had been turned on.
“What now?” Harry's voice said. Ron took a glance at Hermione and saw that she was smiling.
“Well, i think i should tell them that i broke up with Dean first...” Ginny said. “Well, i think i might go and get changed... I'll see you later.” Ron and Hermione had a couple of seconds warning before the kitchen door was pushed open. thy hastily dropped the Exentable Ears and pushed themselves against the wall behind the door.
“Shhh” Hermione whispered to Ron as the door hit him.
They stood there and watched as Harry and Ginny came into view, holding hands. Hermione felt like sh would burt with happiness. She turned to Ron, grinning, to find him totally shocked.
“Right, I'm going to go get changed... I'll see you later” Ginny said.
“Alright then, I'll go find Ron and Hermione...” Harry said as he pulled Ginny closer to him.
“I'll see you at dinner probably.” Ginny whispered so that Ron and Hermione had to lean forwards to hear them. Ginny leant her head on Harry's chest as Harry stroked her hair. Then, they separated. Ginny heading upstairs to change her jeans, and Harry towards the living room, looking for his friends, who were waiting till they were out of ear shot.

Eves droping bad ron and hermione. I'm so happy for Harry and Ginny so can't wait for more.

And to awnswer your question or rather statement. its all good about my name it Amy so you know:)

*Piches tent and waits.*

Chapter 15...
 

Okay, I added the last of Chapter 14 to end of the last post, and Here's the next one...

As Ron and Hermione drew closer, so did Ginny and Harry. Still laughing, Harry lent forwards and kissed Ginny while outide the door, Ron and Hermione were startled by how fast the laughter had stopped.
“What happened?” Ron mouthed at Hermione, who shrugged her shoulders. He reached out a hand for door handle but Hermione pushed it away.
“Wait...” She said, smiling. With a flick of her wand, Hermione wordlessly summoned a pair of Extendable Ears from Fred and George's room. She handed one to Ron and feeded the other one under the kitchen door. For a couple of minutes, there was nothing, then Harry and Ginny's voices came through as f a radio had been turned on.
“What now?” Harry's voice said. Ron took a glance at Hermione and saw that she was smiling.
“Well, i think i should tell them that i broke up with Dean first...” Ginny said. “Well, i think i might go and get changed... I'll see you later.” Ron and Hermione had a couple of seconds warning before the kitchen door was pushed open. thy hastily dropped the Exentable Ears and pushed themselves against the wall behind the door.
“Shhh”Hermione whispered to Ron as the door hit him. They stood there and watched as Harry and Ginny came into view, holding hands. Hermione felt like sh would burt with happiness. She turned to Ron, grinning, to find him totally shocked.
“Right, I'm going to go get changed... I'll see you later” Ginny said.
“Alright then, I'll go find Ron and Hermione...” Harry said as he pulled Ginny closer to him.
“I'll see you at dinner probally.” Ginny whispered so that Ron and Hermione had to lean forwards to hear them. Ginny leant her head on Harry's chest as Harry stroked er hair. Then, they separated. Ginny heading upstairs to change her jeans, and Harry towards the living room, looking for his friends, who were waiting till they were out of ear shot.

Chapter 15
Ron stood there, staring at the spot Harry ad just disappeared from.
“Oh, Ron, maybe they're together now!” ermione squealed, spinning on the spot to look at him. “Ron? Are you okay?”
“Wha- Oh, Yeah, of course i am.” Ron said, but something in his eyes said differently. Slowly, Ron walked towards the living room, with Hermione in tow, almost dream- like.
Hermione pulled forwards and opened the door before Ron could get there.
Harry was lookng out the window, when he heard the door swing shut. Turning around, he saw Ron and Hermione standing in the door way. Their facial expressions couldn't of been more different.
“Oh, Hi guys. I've been looking for you. I need to tell you somthing. I-” But Harry's voice trailed off under the look Ron threw him. “Um, Ron, whats up?” Harry sounded nervous.
Hermione looked from Ron to Harry. She knew what was going to happen, so she butted in.
“Harry, we were looking all over for you! Where have you been all day?” She looked at Ron wearily, but when she turned to Harry, her face softened. There was something she was trying to cover up. Harry just knew it.
“Well, thats what i want to tell you.” Harry said, putting Ron's strange behaviour to one side. “I went for a walk over the hills with-”
“My little sister.” Harry turned to look at Ron. It was a statement, not a question and the way he said it shocked Harry.
Ron's face was hard to read. “We was looking for you this morning. I looked out the window and saw Ginny heading towards the hills. I guess that you was under the Cloak?” Ron said to his feet. Harry looked shocked and Hermione looked downright scared.
“Ron...” She said quietly, but Ron ignored her.
“We came downstairs to look for you, but we heard you and Ginny in the kitchen. Harry's face dropped.
“Thats not how i wanted you to-” Harry started but Ron cut him up.
“Find out? You wasn't even going to tell us was you?” Ron was shouting now. “You don't care about anyone else apart from yourself. You would of kept it a secret and not told us!”
“If you was listening, you would of heard me say that i was going to tell you.” Harry found himself shoutin at Ron.
“Oh Yeah, Course-” Ron started but here, Harry had had enough.
“Thats it. I've had enough of this. If you ain't gonna listen, then i'm not gonna bother tellin you!” And Harry stormed past Hermione and pushed the kitchen door open, so forcefully that it bounced off the wall.
Hermione watched Harry leave. Tears sliently falling down her cheeks and splashing onto her chest.

Love that chapter. Can't wait to see everyones reaction.

i've missed 3 chapter! *smacks forehead* i caught up and i loved it!
aww poor harry, ron needs to quit being a git.

pams,

Chapter 16...
 

As Harry walked towards the stairs, he heard Hermione trying to calm down Ron. 'If he doesn't want to listen, why talk to him?' Harry said to himself.
“Whats the matter? I heard shouting coming from th living room?” Ginny gasped as she ran into the room. Harry looked at her and felt his anger ebb away from him.
“Well, I tried to tell Ron and Hermione about us, but Ron wouldn't listen...” Harry started. Ginny sat down on the kitchen table and listened as Harr explained all about the argument and how they had listened at the door.
“Well, you have a point Harry... You was trying to tell him about it but, Ron being Ron, he won't listen.” Ginny said calmly as she slid herself off the table and over to the door.
Pushing it open slightly, they could hear Hermione explaining to Ron that Harry was going to tell them about him and Ginny.
“Ron, if you would just listen to him. I'm sure that he would forgive you” Hermione said as Harry and Ginny listened at the door.
“Let me talk to him. He should listen to me.” Ginny said as she shut the door. Harry nodded at her and sat down on the table Ginny had just vacated.
“Okay then. I just can't believe that he would react like that... He's always put me with you... Look at last year when he said that I should go with you to the Yule Ball...” Harry said quietly, looking up at Ginny, who had moved so that she was sitting next to him. She wrapped her arms round him and hugged him.
“Yeah, I know. But i'd rather forget about that... My feet still hurt...” Se said seriously as she buried her head in his shoulder. Harry started laughing and hugged Ginny back.
“Okay Gin. You work your magic and get him to understand... If anyone can, you can.” Harry said as he pulled himself away from Ginny to look at her.
There was a knock on the door and it opened. There in the door way stood Fred and George.
“Hermione told us to knock...”Fred said smiling as his brother followed him into the room.
“From what she's told us, you two are an item?” George said winking at Harry, who smiled to confirm what he had said.
“Oh, isn't it lovely to have a few secrets in this house...” Ginny said, throwng George a dirty look.
“Come on Gin, we were gonna tell them anyway...” Harry said, laughing as he turned to look at her.
“Yeah, well... Oh shut up you two!” Ginny said at the twins, who stopped their laughing.
“Right, well, i'm going to change. Like i said i was going to, before someone started shouting...” She said as she stood up. She kissed Harry on the cheek and threw her brothers another dirty look before walkin through the open door and up the stairs.
Before Harry could walk a few steps, Fred and George were upon him.
“So... your dating our little sister now?” Fred said as George stood beside him, nodding very seriously.
“Err,” Harry said, not knowing what they were going to do. “Yeah... I guess so” He said finally.
This time, George spoke and Fred was the one nodding. “Well, at least it's not that Dean anymore” George said and Harry broke out in relief.
“Geez, i thouht you was gonna kill me or something!” Harry said a the twins broke out laughing.

And Chapter 17...
 

Harry was sitting on the landing on the second floor of the Burrow, watching the Weasleys' run past him. The day before, Harry and Ginny had told the family about them. Strangely, Ron had found Harry and Ginny after the family had stopped cheering, and apologized for the way he had shouted at Harry.
Now, Harry was waiting for Ginny to get dressed as they were going out for the morning.
“Gin? Are you ready yet? We're gonna be late!” Harry called through the door. It opened a crack and Ginny's head appeared around the door frame.
“Harry, I can't decide what to wear... Come help as you know where we're going..” and Ginny's head disappeared again.
So, Harry stood up and pushed the door open to walk through. Ginny's room was exactly like Ginny in Harry's opinion. Bright and perfect. And there in the corner was Ginny, wrapped up tight in a towel and searching through a wardrobe.
“I can't decide what to wear... And as i don't know where we're going...” She said, glancing over her shoulder as Harry shut the door.
“Well, I'm not going to tell you. So i'll have to help you choose.” Harry smiled at her. “What are you having trouble choosing from?” he asked as he sat down on the end of Ginny's bed.
Ginny threw a pair of black skinny jeans, a black pencil skirt, a strapless red knee high dress and two red tops at Harry, who thought carefully.
“I think you should wear the dress with the jeans underneath.” Harry said handing them over.
Taking the clothes she said “Fine. You'll have to go outside for a couple of minutes while i get dressed though, then come back in.” Harry walked out and re- took his seat on the floor. As he sat there, Harry watched as Ron and Hermione walked past him laughing at George who was supporting a black eye and Fred who was wearing a large white beard.
Once they were downstairs, Mrs Wealsey's shouts echoed up the stairs. Then Ginny's head appeared round he door frame announcing that Harry could come back in.
As Harry walked in, he saw Ginny. Her hair and make- up was done so perfectly, it looked like a painting standing in front of Harry.
“Can you zip me up?” Ginny asked as she turned her back on him. Harry stepped forwards and pulled on the zipper. She smelt like vanilla, and Harry watched her in the mirror as she put on her earrings.
“What?” Ginny said as she looked up at the mirror. Harry put his hands round her waist and pulled her closer.
“You look amazing” He whispered in her ear. She smiled and pulled herself out of his grip.
“I'll be ready when i found my shoes...” she said as she started to search under the bed.
“Oh, i almost forgot!” Harry said as he sat down on the bed, and stood up straight away. “Wait here..” and before Ginny could say another word, Harry had left the room.
Harry climbed right the way up to Ron's room and dived for his trunk. Pulling out his Invisibility Cloak, Harry found what he was looking for. He picked up the two parcels and slipped the third into his pocket.
Ginny was waiting for Harry, and was just about to start looking for her shoes again when Harry entered the room.
“What was that all about?” Ginny asked, with a confused look on her face.
“I almost forgot about these..” Harry said as he placed the packages on the bed.
Ginny's jaw dropped a little. “Oh, Harry!” She said as she flung herself at him. “Thank you!”
“You don't even know what they are yet!” Harry said as Ginny let go of him. He sat down on the bed and picked up one of the parcels. “This one first.” he said, smiling. Ginny looked at Harry as she sat down. She took the parcel from him and started to open it. Out fell a black jacket. Embroidered on one of the pockets was the word 'Ginny'. Ginny looked at it and then stood up. Harry took it off her and held it up for her to put it on. It fit perfectly.
“Oh, Harry” Ginny said again as she examined her reflection in the mirror. “It's wonderful.”
“Well, i had it made for you... On the inside it says 'Ginny, You are my world. I Will Always Love You, No Matter What. Harry'” Harry said as she read it. She looked up at him and Harry noticed that her eyes had teared up.
“Don't cry... You'll ruin your make- up!” Harry said quickly as he turned to pick up the other package. “Here, open this one” He said turning round to her again.
Ginny opened it and picked up a pair of strappy red heel. This time, when she hugged Harry, e almost fell over by the force that she hit him with.
“Wow, Gin, calm down!” He said as he looked down at her. She let him go and sat on the bed, a single tear running down her cheek. As she pulled the shoes on, they tightened round her ankle. She looked up at Harry, shocked.
“It's okay, they're supposed to do that...” Harry said smiling down at her and wiping away the tear. “I bought them last week when we went to Diagon Alley” He explained as Ginny stood up and walked across the room.
“Now, can we go? Or we really will be late!” Harry said as Ginny picked up her bag from the chair and opened the door.

I Hope You Like It...

Chapter 18 Part 1
 

They walked downstairs and through to the kitchen.
“Ginny! You look fantastic!” Hermione squealed from the kitchen table. Mrs Weasley had de- bearded Fred and George no longer had a black eye.
“Thanks, Hermione! I'll talk to you when we get back, okay? Or Harry'll start moanin that we're gonna be late...” Ginny said, as Hermione nodded at her. Ron caught Harry's eye and sliently started to ommunicate with him. Harry nodded slightly and tapped his pocket. Then he turned and spoke to the room.
“Right, Mrs Weasle, you know whats happening?” Harry said as Mrs Weasley nodded and smiled at him. “Well, then. Shall we go?” He asked Ginny, who nodded and started to walk towards the door.

Once they had walked to the end of the road, Harry knocked on a car window. The side door opened and Harry turned to Ginny.
“Here we are... Our first transport...” He said smiling as se climbed into the car. Harry clibed i afterwards and pulled the door shut.
“This is only taking us to a safer location.” He pointed out as she went to speak. She looked out the window and watched as thy entered the motorway.
“Do you remember when you first came to visit?” Ginny asked randomly, as she turned back to look at Harry.
“Didn't i arrive in a flying car and get Ron and the twins in trouble?” Harry asked as he thought back.
“Yeah... Remember when we went to Diagon Alley? You got lost?” She added as he shook his head.
“Oh yeah. And your dad had that fight in Florish and Blotts...” Harry said as he started to laugh. “Why?”
“Well, i just remembred that when Malfoy started on you there, that was the first time i spoke in front of you...” She said quietly as her gaze returned the window.
Harry put his hand on hers and squeezed it. “And Malfoy kinda said something i wanted to happen... Remember?” He said as she turned to face him.
When she shook her head, he pulled her closer to him and placed his hand round her waist. “When you stuck up for me, he said that I'd got myself a girlfriend... And inside, i was seretly wishin that it was true... but i didn't even know you. To me you wer Ron's little sister, but now, your Ginny Weasley, and my life...” He said as she looked up at him, smiling warmly.
“oh, i almost forgot,” Ginny said, as she curled her feet up underneath her and layed her head on Harry's chest. “What do you want for your birthday? It's only two days away...” she said as she looked up at Harry who was looking out the window.
“Oh, suprise me...” Harry said as he looked down into the soft brown eyes staring up at him. Ginny thought for a moment, and decided that she needed Hermione's help.

nice chapter. it was pretty sweet. =]

pams!
--Prongs

awww how sweet. what is in his pocket and what is the plan. that was such a sweet chapter. I so can't wait for more.

Part 2...

Soon, the car had pulled into a side road and stopped. As Ginny stepped out the car, she found herself in a wood. She spun on the spot and looked up at Harry, who smilied and turned to look at the driver. The driver nodded and raised his wand. soon, Ginny could hear a slight humming noise coming from behnd them. As she turned around, a broomstick zoomed into their clearin and stopped, quivering slighty, beside Harry, who swung his leg over and held his hand out to Ginny.
“Come on Gin, give me your hand” He said as she stepped forwards a bit.
“But, my dress...” She started but Harry cut in.
“Sit sideways and hold on to me... You'll be fine. I Promise” he said as Ginny slipped her hands round Harrys waist and held on for dear life as he kicked off.
A while later, Ginny saw a hill with a tree sitting on the the top. “Harry? where are we?” Sh said as she looked down on a lare field full of green grass.
“Just behind the wood which is near the park i used to sit in until you came and got me...” Harry said smiling as they hit the ground.

(Skippin a bit)

Harry had let Ginny talk without interupting her. Now it was his turn to talk...
“You know, it feels like i've known ou all my life and i dont know why...” Harry said staring towards the trees a short distance away.
“But that just makes me want to send more time with you... and i was wondering how much time you wanted to spend together?” Harry could feel Ginny's gaze on the side of his face, but he didn't turn to face her.
“Harry... I- I don't understand? What are you saying?” Her voice held curiosity and worry. What did he mean?
Harry had turned to face her now, with a dermined look in his eye.
“Before this, us, i was walkin past a muggle jewellry store and something caught my eye. So i went ack to the Dursleys' and got my money...” arry had turned back to gaze over to the trees in the background.
Ginny's face gave away her ractions to what Harry was saying... He was plainly scaring her. But Harry couldn't se her face and he carried on talking.
“I walked back to the store ans went inside. The shop keeper asked if he could help me and i told him that something had already caught my eye and i wanted it, but i wanted to add more to it so that it expresed what i wanted to feel with the girl i loved...” He looked at Ginny and smiled so that she knew not to be scared. “So i bought it and the shop keeper added to it..” Here, Harry pulled his hand out of his pocket, and with it, the small rectangular box.

Just for Nik...

Sorry it's so short but i'm just draggin them on and on and on

Ginny looked from Harry to the box in his hand and then back to Harry. She now understood the seretive manner and the explination. “Harry, w-” but Harry cut her up.
“Don't,” he said softly and his voice made Ginny's spine tingle. “Just, say that you'll always be mine...” Harry said, as he cocked his head like a child observing something intresting.
“Harry, I've always been yours... And i always will... No- one can change the way i feel abut you...” Ginny said definently as she sat up straighter and looked at him.
Harry smiled and opened the lid of the box. Ginny looked down and gasped. There, sitting in the box, was a silver chain with a gold rose pendant attached to it. Ginny could see where the shop keeper had added to it because when Harry lifted it clear of it's box, Ginny glimpsed the back where a 'G' had been engraved and a lightining bolt was going through it. A solitary tear rolled down her cheek as Harry placed the necklace round Ginny's neck and did up the clasp.
The necklace swung down and rested on Ginny's chest and she looked down at it. Harry watched as another tear slid down her face and fell on the rose.
Harry waited for Ginny to say something, but althouh she opened her mouth several times, she couldn't speak, so she closed it again. Harry smiled at her and understood to happy for words so he looked away so that she steady herself.
As he looked back to the trees, he was thrown sideways as Ginny threw herself at him and hugged him so much Harry thought that she would suffocate him. But he didn't care, he hugged her back and laughed.

It's because I'm special :P



N'awwwww, that is sooooo cuuuute. Aww, bless him.

Oh my gosh that was so cute. I would cry to if I had that done. Its such a cute story. so can't wait for more.

that was soo cute!!! getting a gift like that would be, amazing.

i can't wait for more!! pams.

Chapter 20
 

The Burrow came into view and Ginny looked up. “Back already?” She had been resting her head on Harry's shoulder and looking at her necklace.
“Yeah, and just in time for dinner” Harry said smiling as the car pulled into the driveway. Ginny started laughing and sat up straight. They climbed out of the car and started to walk towards the backdoor when they heard a clatter from above.
“GINNY!”
“HARRY!” They looked up to see Ron and Hermione hanging out a window, broad rins visible on their faces.
“Come downstairs” Ginny called back as sh placed her hand on the door handle. She didn't really want to shout for the whole village to hear.
They walked into the kitchen and Ginny perched herself on the counter as Harry lent up against it. Her hand raised to the chain around her neck while the other one searched for Harry's to pull him closer. As she found it, the door burst open to reveal Ron and Hermione. Hermione headed straight over to Ginny where she started talking quietly. Ron, however, walked over to Harry and and just stood there.
“What?” Harry said as he looked at his best friend who just smiled at him. “Whatever it was, I didn't do it!” Ginny heard this comment and started laughing.
“What is it?” Harry said again as he squeezed Ginny's hand softly. Ron looked at Harry once more and then signalled that they would talk outside. Harry was totally confused and scared at the same time. Wh wouldn't Ron talk in th same room as te girls? Was he going to shout at him? Ginny must of noticed something beause she bent down to his ear and whispered to him.
“It's okay. We'll be able to hear him if he shouts and I'll jinx him for it...” Harry laughed quietly as he kissed her cheek.
“Don't worry your pretty little head, I'll sort it out... And don't jinx him till we're at school. I don't want you expelled” Harry whispered back as he stood to leave with Ron. inny giggled and kissed hs cheek then turned to carry on talking to Hermione.
Ron was already walking through the doorway as Harry started walking towards it. As he reached it, he turned to see Ginny and Hermione watching him. He winked and then walked through to where Ron stood waiting.
“What?” Harry said as he approached him. “Well...” Was all Ron gave him. Harry looked at Ron, a blank expression on his face. Ron sighed and contiuned. “How did it go?” Harry sighed in relief and smiled.
“Alright actually. Nothing out of the ordinary happened apart from where she almost suffocated me with happiness... I gave her the necklace today...” He added to remove the look of total confusion off Ron's face.
“Oh yeah. I saw it just now. So did you tell her?” Ron looked at Harry and guessed the answer from his face.
“I- I couldn't. It didn't feel right. She did say that she had always loved me since she first saw me and that she always would, but i couldn't tell her. I was going to but i changed my mind and didn't say anything. I might wait until it feels right” Harry confessed. Ron knew what he was talking about. Knew exactly what he felt.
“Don't worry about it. You might want to start worrying about it if you haven't said anything to her before school starts though. Just in case any boys get the wrong idea” Ron said with a serious look on his face, which didn't last long as it broke and gave way to a smile. Harry smiled back and decided to change the subject from him and Ginny.
“Have you told Hermione yet?” At these words, Ron's smile vanished, his ears turned red and his face slowly turned a pinky colour.
“Told her what? I haven't got anyhing to tell her... Why would you say that? I don't th- Is it that obvious?” He said as Harry raised an eyebrow. When he nodded, Ron fell into a chair and covered his face with his hand. “I wanna tell her but she might not like me the same way...” He said to his fingers.
“Look, Ginny and Hermione are close, so i could get Gin to talk to Hermione and then what she finds out, I'll tell you” Harry said as he sat down next to Ron. hen he nodded, Harry rasped his shoulder. “Oh lighten up! Dinners nearly done and your mums doing pie again!” This seemed to cheer Ron up and he laughed.
“Right, well, I'm oing upstairs so that I'm nowhere where mum can rope me into helping with dinner. See you later” And with that, Ron made his way to the stairs and climbed out of sight.
Knowing that the girls would eventually walk past the living room, Harry waited on the couch. He thought about what him and Ron had just talked about and how he was going to convince Ginny to et Hermione to confess about how she felt for Ron. He knew Ron was right about the boys at school. Ginny was popular with them but she was his. He needed to tell her soon but didn't know how. After all, he was only 15. Well, nearly. He knew that if he said it all at once it would be over whelming, so he decided to scale it down. He had already given her the necklace, so he might as well wait until her birthday for the next step. Then, it was up to fate to decide what happened after that.

Okay Nik, You'll have to wait for that to come up... Just don't forgt that he has to tell her something11


As he sat there and looked into the fire, he heard Mrs Weasley approach the room, talking to someone. She rounded the corner and Harry was that she was talking to Ron. She must have been oon her wa downstairs as Ron was walking upstairs. As they passed, Mrs Weasley waved at Harry, who waved back, and Ron merely role his eyes. Harry had the impulse to laugh as they walked past, but controlled it as the two girls came through the kitchen door giggling. He lent back into the ouch and looked over at them.
“Gin?” She turned to look at him from the stairs, her foot on the bottom step.
“Yes Harry?” He saw her fingers play oflty with the rose laying on her chest and smiled. He motioned with his head that he wanted her and she nodded.
“I'll talk to you after dinner Hermione” she said as she turned back into the room. Hermione's “okay” echoed down the stairs as Ginny walked over to Harry and sat down next to him. She rested her head on his houlder as his arm rested across hers.
“Can you do me a favour?” H said as he looked down at her. She nodded and continued to stare into the fire. “I need you to tell me how Hermione feels for Ron...” Her head lifted so she could look at him.
“Why?” He knew that Ron would kill him fo this hen he found out but Harry couldn't lie to her. Her eyes were so soft and loving that one look would have Harry tellin her everything. and thats what happened.
“Ron likes Hermione. I mean he LIKES her. He has since the first day he met her. He wants to tell her but somehow he thinks that she doen't like him back. I know that she likes him as a friend and maybe a bit more but i don't know if i's the same as how Ron fels for her. I don't really like the idea of walking up to her and saying 'hey Hermione, do you love Ron?' coz i know i'll mess it up. But you won't. I was wondering if you would for me...” Harry's babbling was drowned out by Ginny's giggles.
“Harry, you know i'll talk to her about it! I was going to talk to her about it tonight anyway” She said as she lent across his legs so her head was restin on the arm of the sofa. “But, only if you tell me hoe to get ese shoes off. The strap won't loosen” she lifted her foot into the air so that the shoe was glinting inoccently in thhe fire light. Laughing, Harry lent to his left and pushed a large sequin on the outside of her ankle. At his touch, the strap loosened and Harry ulled the shoe off.
“Here you go,” He said as he handed her the shoe laughing. “Need help with the other one?” She was laughing as she nodded and lifted her other leg so he could reach that shoe too. As he pulled it off and anded it to her, he smiled evilly.
“What are you smiling at?” she said as she controlled her laughter and sat up.
“Oh, this...” And with that, Harry lunged and started tickling her.
“Harry! Stop, Stop, Stop! Harry, Please!” She said as he pinned her to the sofa and started attackng her sides, laughng as she squirmed undrneath him trying to esacpe.
“You can't get away and you know it Gin, so stop moving! OW!” He laughed as Ginny's hand hit him in the stomach.
“Don't make me get you!” She laughed as he grabbed her hands so she couldn't punch him again.
“You couldn't even if you tried!” Harry teased and stuck his tounge out at her, which she mimicked.
She tried to throw im off her, and succeded. He roled off oto te floor where Ginny pounced and started tickling him.
“Okay, okay, I'm sorry!” He gasped as she tickled him neck with her finger. She laughed and sat up, but didn't get off him in case he launched a new attack. He sat up and wrapped his arms round Ginny's waist and pulled her closer to him. She rested her head on his shoulder as she placed her arms round his neck.
“I let you do that” Harry whispered. She chuckled but didn't move. This is what she loved. Sitting with Harry and having his warm, strong arms pull her closer to him.
“Awww, thats a heart warming sight. But do you think you could let each other go so you can gt i here and have something to eat?” Rons voice washed over them and Ginny still didn't move. She wanted to stay here forever.
“Come on Gin, I'd rather not put up with Ron killing me tonight because we turned up late for dinner...” Harry said to her softly.
“Mmmmmmm” Ginny said as she slowly pulled away from him.
“Quick, or I'll get you after dinner as well...” Harry said trying to make her move faster.
“You couldn't even if you tried” she replied tiredly as she stood up and smoothed her dress down. arry stood up and took hold of her hand and walked towards the kitchen, where the smell of Mrs Weasley's home- made shepards pie drew them closer.

Chapter 22 and Chapter 23
 

Chapter 22

Ginny had cornered Hermione the night before about Harry's present. This however, did not help her. She couldn't think on what to get him. She was thinking of all the things she could get when she walked into th kitchen. Her eyes fell on Harry at the table and all te thoughts were wiped out her head. She walked over and sat down next to him.
“Hey Harry” She said as she kissed his cheek and pulled a plate of pancakes towards her.
“Hey Gin, What you up to today?” he said as he sneaked one of her pancakes onto his plate.
“Oi! Will you leave my food alone!” he said as she playfully slapped his hand away. “I'm not doing anything today. Why?” Harry just shrugged as he stuffed his face full of Ginny's pancake. She rolled her eyes and started on her own. Then Harry nudged her. She choked and looked at him. He nodded his head towards the door and she turned and saw Ron and Hermione talking and laughing as they came down the stairs.
“Oh no! I forgot to talk to Hermione about what we talked about yesterday! We were talking and it just slipped my mind!!” Ginny said as she hit her head on the table.
“Hey, it doesn't mean you have to knock yourself out just 'cos you forgot! You can talk to her whenever you want! And i was wndering if you'd come into town with me today for your mum” Harry said as he grabbed Ginny's shoulders and pulled her up again. She smiled, nodded and rubbed her forehead as Ron and Hermione joined them.
“Alright you two?” Ron said as he leent aross Hermione for a plate. They nodded and Ron placed a whole pancake in his mouth.
“Ron! Use a knife and fork! And table manners!” Hermione said with a look of total disgust on her face before turning her attention on the couple opposite her. “Ginny? what happened to your head?”
“What's the matter with it?” She said as she piked up a spoon to look at it.
“It's red!”
“Yeah, it runs in the family. It's her hair!” Ron said seriously as he picked up a cup of orange juice. Harry laughed as Ginny dropped the spoon because of her giggling when Hermione raised her eyebrows at him.
“Oh, very funny Ron” She said as she started on her own breakfast. At that moment Fred and Geore entered the room.
“Well, has anyone deided to leave us anything to eat or did you all let Ron eat it?” Ron looked up with a surprised look as Hermione, Harry and Ginny broke into laughter again.
“Oi! It's not always me you know! Harry! It's not funny!” he said affronted. Harry just shrugged as he tried to stop laughing. Once everyone had calmed down, Fred spoke up.
“Right, changing the subjet from Ron and his bottomless pit, What's everyone doing today?” It turned out that everyone was busy doing something and when Harry asked what it was, he got told it wasn't important.
“Well, me and Gin are gonna go into town and get the food shopping i think” Harry said as he put the empty plates in the sink. “I'm gonna go get changed and grab my bag then we'll go. Is that alright Gin?” She nodded and he walked towards the door.
“Bag?” George questioned as Harry walked past him.
“Invisibilty Cloak” was all he said as he walk out the door.
As he walked up the stairs, Harry could of sworn he heard lowered vices whispering coming from the kitchen.

~*~*~*~*~

Chapter 23
“Hey Gin, what was you lot talking about when i walked out the room this morning?” They were walking along the road hand in hand as the leaves fell off the trees around them.
“Oh, that... I dunno. I wasn't really listening” Ginny said as she kicked some of the fallen leaves on the ground. A wave of gold and bronze washed over they're fett as they carried on. Harry nodded and droped the subject.
“Why did you have the bring the Cloak?” Ginny asked as they rounded a corner.
“In case there's anyone or anything I can't be seen by” Harry said calmly. Ginny froze. “Gin? Are you okay?” Harry had stopped by now as well and turned to her. She wore a look of total fear and her face had paled.
“Oh Gin, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to scare you!” Harry panicked as he wrapped his arm round her.
“I- I'm okay. I- I mean, they wouldn't come h- here would they? They c- can't knnow that your staying with us!” She stuttered as she looked behind her.
“I know. But I'm taking the Cloak everywhere with me now. Just in case” he told her, squeezing her shoulders. inny loosened up a bit and they carried on walking down the path.
“Harry?” Ginny looked up at him. He didn't look down at her though.
“Mmmmmmmm?” His voice was happy as he linked hands with her. He was focusing on something in front of them and was smiling his heart warming smile.
"Are you worried?" His smile faltered a slight bit as he put his arm round her shoulders and held her close.
"When I'm alone, then I'm terrified. But not for my self. For those I love. I've been up against danger every other day so I'm used to it and the pressures tat come with it. But I'm always worried then those I love are away from me so I can't see if they're okay. Look at my second year-" Ginny pointedly looked away and blushed as she remembered all the details- "I thought I would be sick because I didn't know if you was okay because I wasn't next to you. I couldn't do anything until I reached you. And then I had to fight Riddle first. I only got through that because of you" He said as he squeezed her shoulders.
"Harry, I-"
"It doesn't matter though, 'coz I've got you and you are never leaving my side when anything happens" He said as he glanced at her. He had given one of the many hints he had but she didn't seem to of figured it out.
"Harry, I would never leave you! Not for a million years and you know that!" Ginny still sounded scared but there as that steadiness in her voice again. "But can we at least change the subject. I don't want to talk about it anymore. As long as I know that you're not worried then I'm not" She said, smiling again.

~*~*~*~*~

Chapter 25
 

Before I post Chapter 25, I want to say thank you to all of you for reading and sorry to you if you was reading my other FF, Now and Forever, and if this FF is a bit too long winded for you...

Anyway, The story!

As Harry walked away with her brothers, Ginny turned to start looking for Ron and Hermione. As sh reached the back door, she heard Harry shout something to her. She waved her hand and opened the door.

She descended the steps and walked into the garden, looking round her for any sign of her brother or her best friend.

"HERMIONE! RON! ARE YOU OUT HERE?" She shouted as she reached the bushes that run round the edge of the garden. Nothing. Ginny shook her head and headed off towards the other side of the house.

As she passed the open kitchen window, she heard Fred laughing and George talking. She stopped and listened as Harry' voice washed over her.

"Well... I've been busy doing other things you know! Don't pull that face Fred! It's not all spending time with Ginny! I've been doing homework, helping out around the house and other stuff! It's not my fault I forgot my birthday is it!"

Shaking with silent giggles, Ginny moved away from the house and started off towards the orchard they use to play Quidditch. She was half way there when voices caught her ear.

"It's not that hard Hermione! Just throw it!" Ron's voice, carried to her on wind, sounded amused as Hermione's voice echoed over the field.

"It IS that hard Ron! How can I throw a ball and not fall twenty feet towards the ground at the same time! Why did I even say that I'd help you practice Quidditch anyway!" Her voice sounded upset and moody, which Ron's laughter was probably the cause of.

"RON! HERMIONE! YOU OVER HERE?" Ginny shouted out so that they knew she was near. She heard a 'Yeah' from Ron and heard Hermione call her.

"Ginny! Come here!" Ginny smiled and walked into the clearing. Above her was Ron, hovering near the tree they used as goal posts, and Hermione holding a ball, well it was really an apple, swaying from side to side and holding onto the broom for dear life.

"What?" Ginny questioned as she tried to control her laughter as Ron had to help Hermione towards the ground.

"You practice with him... Why are you shaking your head?" Hermione said as her hands rested on her hips and she glared at Ginny.

"I can't. I've got stuff to do and I promised Harry that w would all play together and Harry's waiting for us up at th house..." Hermione looked at hr with an eyebrow raised "Okay, I've run out of excuses but I'm still not doing it! Anyway, Harry and I come back from th village and you two are on. We run into Fred and George who tell us you disappeared when you spoke privatively earlier on... So spill the gossip" Ginny said to Hermione as they walked back to the house together and left Ron to put the brooms away.

Sorry if it's not very good... My dad only gave me 15 minutes on the computer

Loved it. And it was good very good. So can't wait for more.

that was great! even in 15 minutes. =]

loved it. pams, when you can.

Prongs.

I can't believe you only had 15 minues! I shall speak with your Mother! Well I thought it was very good but I am DYING to hear what happened with Hermione and Ron! You are evil leaving a cliffhanger, even if you did only have 15 mins.

Two Chapters for the Price of One
 

Chapter 26

Harry left the twins in the kitchen and walked out the back door. How could he have forgotten his own birthday? Ginny hadn't stopped talking about it all week as well...

Lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice Hermione and Ginny pass him on their way into the house, and he didn't see Ron either. Well, not until they walked into each other anyway...

There you are... Gin's been looking for you and Hermione... While I was talking to the twins... Where is Hermione and Ginny anyway?" Harry asked as he stood up and held out a hand for Ron.

"You've walked past them mate... Gin said hi and Hermione waved. Did you not see them? And why in the merlin's pants were you talking to the twins?" Ron said incredulously as they walked back to the house and up to his room.

"Don't worry...I'm sure you'll hear about it later..." Harry said as he sunk into his camp bed. They sat up there talking and laughing when a high pitched scream echoed from somewhere below them. Harry jumped up and ran to the door, pulling his wand out on the way.

"You don't need that mate... Not yet anyway... That was probably Ginny, which means that Hermione's told her..." Ron carried on mumbling until Harry cut in.

"If your gonna say it, SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!" Harry said, raising his voice at the end.

"Well... When you and Ginny went to the-" Ron started but Harry spoke over the top.

"I don't need the full length story... I know you spoke to Hermione. Spill it" Harry said as he sat back down. "Spill it or suffer..." He laughed as he lifted his wand up.

Ron knew Harry was playing about and shook his head, his ears slowly turning red and looking anywhere but Harry.

"Iaskedherout..." Was all Harry heard as Ron mumbled to his knees.

"Sorry? I meant spit out so I can understand you Ron..." He said, stowing his wand back in his jeans.

"I... I asked... Asked her out..." Ron stuttered as Harry grinned at him.

"FINALLY! Do you know how long EVERYONE has tried to get you to ask her! Wait... you might want to hide... Gin's coming" Harry said as he opened the door again.

Before Ron could move, Ginny had run into the room and hit him.

"Ronald! Your so stupid sometimes!" Ginny cried as Harry stood at the door in complete shock.

"OW! Ginny! Wha- OW" was all Ron could say as Ginny started punching him.

"You've had six years to ask her and you choose NOW!" Ginny said, punching her brother with every word.

Then Harry come to his senses and stepped forwards as Hermione appeared in the door way.

"GINNY! STOP IT!"

"Gin, come on, leave him alone now! Gin!"

"GEROFF ME!"

At the same time, Ron, Harry and Hermione shouted, causing Ginny to stop and look round, tears still splashing onto her chest.

"W- what?" She said looking at Harry, who took the opportunity to seize her hands.

"Calm down! Ron doesn't need to be knocked out! Come on, stop crying..." Harry said as he pulled her close to him.

Hermione walked in and sat next to Ron and placed her hand on his.

"Are you okay?" She said, unable to control her laughter any longer.

~*~

Chapter 27

After Harry had calmed Ginny down and Ron had gotten over his attack, Hermione told the rest of the family, who told everyone else.

The next day found the Burrow full of people laughing and joking, people outside running around and a large cake fight when Ginny had pushed her slice of cake in Harry's face.

As Mrs Weasley started to clear up some of the cake, a flash of light passed over the house. As everyone looked up, Seamus fell to the floor and started twitching and screaming.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny ran over to him. Ginny knelt down and tried to calm him.

Harry mumbled something but all Ron heard was 'Cruciatus' and 'Voldemort'. Hermione went to kneel next to Seamus but Ron rabbed her hand and pulled her into the house.

"It won't work Gin... WHY SEAMUS? WHY NOT GO STRAIGHT FOR ME?" Harry shouted, spinning on the spot and searching the sky.

Seamus's screams stopped and a popping noise filled the air. Harry drew his wand and pointed it over Ginny's shoulder. Slowly Ginny turned her head and looked out towards the driveway.

"Ginny, it's okay! Just draw your wand!" Harry whispered, not taking his eyes off the line of Death Eaters watching them. "WELL? IS IT JUST YOU OR IS HE HIDING?" Harry yelled, his eyes taking in his surroundings.

He didn't get an answer. Instead the Death Eaters fired curses at the guests, who retaliated. Mrs Weasley pulled Ginny up off the floor, grabbed Harry and headed for the house.

Harry headed straight for the living room where Hermione was acing and Ron was sitting on the couch.

"Is he here?" Hermione said as she stopped and looked up at Harry.

When he shook his head she continued pacing.

Harry lowered himself into a chair and looked up at Ginny. She was shaking and twisting her fingers round her necklace. "Don't worry Gin, it'll be okay... But I'm going back out there..."

"No. Stay here, please" Ginny whispered as she walked over to him. She was shaking so bad that Harry thought she would fall so he grabbed her and pulled her down so she was huddled in the chair with him.

"Ginny, remember what we spoke about yesterday? I'm most scared for those I'm not with... Well there's about 25 people out there, all fighting to keep us safe" Harry whispered to her.

"I know but still... What if something happens to you?" Ginny had started crying now.

"Nothing will... I promise" Harry said as he wiped her tears away. He stood up and then turned back to her. "I want you to stay here... Same with you Hermione" And with that, he kissed Ginny and walked out.

"Hermione, I agree with Harry on this one... Stay in the house, contact anyone you can who's in the order and not here. I'll be back later" Ron said as he hugged her. Walking to the door, he looked back and watched as Hermione fell on the couch and hid her face.

Pushing open the back door, Ron drew his wand and walked with Harry round to the front of the house.

pams!
Prongs.

Right, well... this chapter is about Ginny but it doesn't actually say it... It's kinda awkward to explain so just read it... XD

~*~

Watching Harry walk out the door was torture to her. She wanted to be waking out that door with him but she knew that if she did, she would be a distraction to him and he wouldn't be able to concentrate properly.

She could hear Ron talking to Hermione but couldn't distinguish the words properly. Then she watched her brother walk out the door as well.

She turned to Hermione, and watched as she fell onto the couch and hid her face. She had always been between the boys during a fight and now they had told her to stay inside.

She let the tears fall freely as she looked down at the necklace Harry had given her. How she wanted to be next to him now. Her tears hot on her cheeks as she spoke to Hermione.

"I- i'm going u- upstairs and finding o- out what's happening. C- come on, there's a f- fire place up t- there in the office, we c- can go there"

She watched as Hermione's tear- stained face looked up at her and nodded.

Walking up the stairs, her footfalls seemed to echo around her. Each one counting down till Harry returned.

Up in the office, she peered out the window, down into the fight below. She watched as her dad shot a spell at a Death Eater, she saw the twins fighting together, She spotted Tonks battling with two Death Eaters and as Hagrid threw one over the wall. Then saw saw them. Harry and Ron, back to back, wands raised, standing in the center of a circle of Death Eaters, waiting.

Her heart hammered in her chest as she watched Harry talking to Ron. somewhere behind her she heard Hermione's voice.

"Professor Dumbledore"

She tore her eyes away from the fight and walked towards the fire as Dumbledore's head appeared in the fire.

"Miss Granger? Miss Weasley? Is there a problem?"

"Death Eaters are here sir. They're fighting outside now" Hermione said as her eyes travelled to the window.

"I'm guessing Harry is out there Ginny?"

Her eyes returned to Dumbledore as she nodded. His voice was full of concern. Again, the window attracted her eye as a single tear escaped.

"So is Ron. They said that me and Ginny had to stay and contact people from the Order Professor" Hermione explained.

The voices around her sounded distant as she kept glancing at the window. Unable to control herself, he walked back to the window and searched for Harry. This time she told Hermine and Dumbledore what she could see.

"Lupin and Mum are dueling someone, Hagrid is still throwing them over the wall when they fall, Tonks is hurt, So is Luna and Neville but they're still fighting, Dean is being looked after by Dad, I think he's out cold..." She listed what she could see but didn't voice what was going through her head. 'Where are they?'... Then Dumbledore's voice broke through her thoughts.

"They'll be okay. If they rescue you from the Chamber of Secrets," She shivered as the thought returned to her, "then they can survive this Miss Weasley" Even though the thought that something had happened was still in her head, she smiled.

"Very well, I shall contact the others, you and Miss Weasley stay here and contact me if Voldemort shows up. Goodbye" And Dumbledore was gone.

In the silence that followed she continued to search from the window. Hermione had joined her now. She still saw no sign of them. There was no sign of a fight. Not a single Death Eater...

Then there was shouts from below.

"GINNY? HERMIONE?"

~*~

What'd ya think?

"Okay... I'm going inside..."

"Right with ya!"

"GINNY? HERMIONE?"

~*~

Tell me what'd ou think of the different ways of writing!

Abi...xox

That was really exciting. It was good for a battle scene because it' so fast paced and you can really get a feel for what the battle is like. You get the sense of panic and confusion that everyone is feeling really well.
I liked the bit inside too, it was really descriptive.

But where did they all go?????

that was crazy!!!! i loved it.
oober confuzzled though. xD

pams,
Prongs.

That's what I was aiming for... Thanks Nik

Sorry about it being confusing... I was looking for an easier way to describe the battle... XD

Next post later on tonight... Definatley before 10 British time I promise

Haha, it's totally fine. It doesn't take much to get me confused. xD
lol

can't wait for the post!!!

I know what I said earlier but still... If I have Chapter 30 ready, I might as well post it!!

Prongs, it's the same with me! I was reading this back to myself earlier and was like 'This makes no sense....' and I wrote it!!

And I am soo excited!! I can finally get sorted tomorrow!!! And then on the Third I'm off at school so I might not be able to post...

~*~

Ginny didn't wait for Hermione as she raced down the stairs towards th bottom of the stairs.

She had hot tears pouring down her face as she stopped at the top of the last flight of stairs. Her face broke out into a smile as she run down them and jumped on Harry.


"Harry! Oh... Harry! I was so worried!!" She sobbed into his shoulder as he wrapped his arms round her laughing.

"Gin, I promised didn't I?" Harry said as he pulled her off and directed her to the couch. "Did you contact anyone?" Harry directed at Hermione as Ginny buried herself in his shoulder again.

"Yes. I contacted Dumbledore... And he said that he would contact everyone else" Hermione said as Ron wrapped his arm round her shoulders.

"At least they know they were here... But it still doesn't tell us why" Ron said as Hermione rested her head on his shoulder. Harry looked over at Ron and pulled a face.

"If your really that stupid Ron, I should let Ginny loose on again..." He laughed as a watery chuckle escaped Ginny, who had sat up and mirrored Hermione, tucking her feet under her and wrapping her arm round Harry.

"No! I mean..." Ron said, a spark of fear in his eye which made Harry roar with laughter and Ginny laugh more.

"Harry, don't say it..." Hermione said as she sat up and looked at him.

"They found out I was either here or I come here all the time... The question is not why, it's how?" Harry said, ignoring Hermione.

Ginny's laughter stopped and Harry looked down at her n time to see her face whiten.

"B- but that means s- someone told them w- where our house is..." She stammered as Harry moved so he could place an arm round her.

"No Ginny, it means someone at the Ministry is with them. Someone with access to Harry's folder, so they know where he goes, what he does and... who his friends are..." Ron said, pausing and looking up at Harry, whose face held a look of total shock plastered on his face.

~*~

P.S: Don't hate m about the cliff... Didn't know how to finish it!!

P.P.S: NO- ONE TELL KRYSTA!!

oooh, i loved it! and that was a crazy good cliff.

don't worry, my lips are sealed, i won't say a word to her. =]

good luck with the sorting, what house do you want to be sorted into???

Either Gryffindor or Hufflepuff... Although I don't really mind what house... XD

About the story... I have lost some of my memory and have forgotten where I hid the next Chapter... I am searching for it as we speak...:hairpull:

Sorry...

well good luck on getting into the one you want. =]

awh, you lost it. geesh. lol
well hopefully you find it soon. i can't wait.

hehe

Guess what!?! I FOUND IT!!! And I got the day wrong... :lol: I forgot about August 31st!!

~*~

Over the next couple of days Harry had spoken to anyone he knew was connected to the Ministry. But nothing was out of the ordinary.

They were now in one of the Taxi's Mrs Weasley had gotten, on their way to King's Cross Station. Harry sat with his head on the window and Ginny's hand in his. Both Hermione and the latter were asleep while the boys had been talking quietly together.

"Don't eat yourself up Harry. You tried to figure it out but there's no need to knock yourself out 'coz you found nothing..." Ron said as Harry smashed his head against the window over and over again, jolting Ginny out of her slumber.

"Wha- I'm awake!" She exclaimed as Ron started laughing. "What happened?" She asked as she watched Harry carry on hitting the window.

"He's angry with himself... He thinks it's... his fault they attacked the Burrow" Hermione said as she sat up yawning. Ron wrapped his hand round hers and smiled.

"Yeah, but if he's not careful, he'll knock himself out..." He laughed and Ginny threw him one of her 'run and hide' looks, as Harry called them.

"Oh shut up Ron..." She spat at him before turning to Harry. Putting her hand on his back, she spoke in a softer voice. "Hey, stop it..." Somehow, he listened and turned to face her.

"It's so annoying! I know that I can find out who it was but..." Harry made a frustrated noise and rested his head on Ginny's. "Sorry that I woke you up... I've been a right git since the fight as well... I'm sorry" He said as Ginny rolled her eyes at Hermione, who smiled.

"No you haven't Harry... You've been trying to find out who lead the attack at the Burrow. That's nothing to apologise for" Ginny said as she brushed away a stray lock of hair that was dancing in front of her eyes.

"Here we are, Kings Cross Station..." Came the driver's voice as the Taxi shuddered to a halt.

Harry and Hermione paid the driver while Ron and Ginny started unloading the trunks. Soon they were making their way through the station towards Platform 9 3/4.

Once having said goodbye to Mrs Weasley, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny settled in a compartment at the back of the train. As the Hogwarts Express started moving, the compartment door opened to reveal Neville and Luna.

"Hi guys, mind if we join you?" Neville said as Ginny waved at Luna.

"Not at all Neville. Come on in" Hermione said as she lifted Crookshanks up so he could sit down.

The six of them were talking about the attack at the Burrow when a laugh drew their eyes to the door, which had been left open since Dean and Seamus had stopped by to say hi.

"Aww, Potter's all upset that they nearly blew up his birthday cake" Draco Malfoy drawled from the door way. Crabbe and Goyle grinning behind him.

"Shove off Malfoy" Ron said as he stood up, drawing his wand.

"Not very nice Weaslebee... Showing off for your Mudblood of a girlfriend?" Malfoy sat as his eyes landed on Hermione as she opened her mouth to speak. "Opps, I forgot. You're not together are you... Shame. Not even a blood traitor will go out with you Granger..."

Harry and Ginny were now on their feet in front of Ron, pointing their wands at Malfoy, who drew his own. Harry was furious and had had enough. Ginny was mad but held her tounge as someone else spoke.

"Actually Malfoy, your wrong" Neville said as he and Luna rose out of their seats and stood next to wrong. "Ron and Hermione are together. So is Harry and Ginny. So shove off" He said, pointing his wand in Malfoy's face.

"Whatever Longbottom... Come on Crabbe, Goyle. Let's go" And with that, the three Slytherins walked away, down the carriage.

Luna stepped forwards and shut the compartment door as Harry threw himself into his seat.

"I'm not taking anything from Malfoy this year. I'm just going to curse him" He said as Ron sat down opposite and nodded.

"He's in for a shock this year" He said, a hint of insanity in his voice.

"Oh for heaven's sake! Will you two please calm down!" Hermione said as she sat next to Ron. Ginny plonked herself between Harry and Luna and nodded.

"You two are better off ignoring them... Don't look at me like that Harry! I mean it!" She exclaimed as Harry turned to argue with her. "I don't care what you say, your not to curse him" She scolded and Harry dropped it.

The lunch trolley arrived and Harry, Neville and Ron bought the girls something to eat while the latter talked for a while.

When entering the compartment with full arms, Ron and Neville tarted handing Luna and Hermione their sweets while Harry stopped in the door way.

"Harry? You okay?" Ginny asked as she stood up. Harry's face was screwed up and he was swaying on the spot. "Harry?" Now everyone else in the compartment looked up.

"Harry? You okay mate?" Ron asked as confusion showed upon his face. Ginny stepped forwards and stood in front of Harry.

"Harry? Can you hear me? What the-" She said as she backed away from him. As she had extended a hand towards him, his eyes had opened. But they wasn't Harry's eyes.

Ron caught Ginny as she fell over Neville's legs, Hermione sent Crookshanks flying as she stood up and Luna pushed herself away from Harry. Each person had their eyes focused on Harry.

His eyes, normally a sparkling emerald green, were a glowing blood red.

Hermione stepped forwards but retreated when Harry's head shot up at her.

He moved his gaze slowly over each person in the compartment, as if seeing them for the first time.

Then he stopped on Ginny. She was pure white, even her hair had lost some of it's colour, and was staring at Harry with her mouth open wide.

Harry cocked his head to one side like a toddler examining something as Ginny stepped forwards a little. As she neared him, Hermione spoke, her voice cracked and quiet.

"Ginny, be careful. Remember that's not Harry looking at you! He's been... Possessed" Her voice was shaky and full of fright. It seemed that she was right because Harry smiled as she said it.

"H- Harry? I- is that y- you?" Ginny said cautiously as she reached him.

"No" The voice echoed round them and Ron's eyes widened. They all knew that voice, that voice had haunted Harry all his life.

"You look so much like his mother..." Voldemort's voice cut through Ginny and she stumbled as she backed away.

Neville just sat there, staring at Harry with large round eyes and Luna huddled next to him. Ron and Hermione both lent forwards to grab Ginny but Harry beat them there.

Gripping her arm hard, he pulled her up. But he didn't let go.

"Does it hurt?" Ginny shook her head as Voldemort's voice came out of Harry once more. "It hurts Potter though... Put your wand away, silly little Mudblood..." Hermione looked up sharp and dropped her wand on the seat. Harry wasn't even looking at her...

Suddenly, Harry's hand let Ginny go. as she fell to the floor, Harry grabbed the scar on his forehead. Slowly his eyes closed and re-opened.

"Harry!" Ginny exclaimed as she looked up into two watery emerald eyes. "Are you oka- HARRY!" She said loudly as Harry's knees buckled and he fell to the floor.

She scrambled over to him and rolled him onto his back as he murmured to himself.

"Harry..." Luna said softly as sh knelt down beside Ginny.

"Never... Call... Her... That... Word!" Harry shouted as angry tears spilled down his cheeks. As Ginny went to wipe them away, Harry's hand raised once more to his scar and he started twitching and screaming.

"Don't hurt Gin! Please! Don't hurt her!" Harry yelled as he flung his arm up and it ht Luna across the cheek.

"Harry! I'm okay! I'm right here!" Ginny said as she laid a hand on the top of Harry's head.

Ron and Neville were now on the floor, trying to lift Harry onto the seats but he was moving around too much.

"No... where's Ron and Hermione? What have you done with them?" Harry shouted as his fist made contact with Neville's jaw and his foot hit Ron's knee.

"We're right here Harry! We're okay! They haven't done anything to us!" Hermione said softly but still he didn't listen to them.

"Don't you dare hurt them! Where are they? Leave Luna alone! Don't touch her! NO!"

Harry was now kicking his legs about and ne of them made contact with Seamus's stomach.

"What th- Oof!" Seamus said as Hermione directed him to one of the seats and Ron sat on Harry as an attempt to keep him still.

"Geez, I come down to see how you lot are and I get kicked in the stomach..." Seamus said as he watched Harry talk to himself again.

"Ron! Get off him! Your not helping at all! Wait! He's stopped now!" Hermione said as she jumped of the seat.

Harry had stopped talking now but was still twitching every now and then. Slowly, Ron stood up and Seamus helped him and Neville put Harry on the seats.

For the rest of the journey, Ginny and Luna sat with harry on one side of the compartment while Ron, Hermione and Neville filled Seamus and in on what happened.

ooh, i loved it! that was crazy, having Harry be possessed.

awesome, as always.

Chapter 33
 

Harry started to wake as the train neared Hogsmeade Station. He raised his hand to his face and groaned, catching the attention of the silent compartment.

"Hey. You okay now?" Ginny said as she placed her hand on his cheek, smiling softly.

"Wha- What happened?" Harry said as he sat up, still holding his head. Ginny looked at Ron and Hermione, who exchanged glances before answering.

"Harry, you when we went to the Ministry? And You- Know- Who possessed you to get to Dumbledore?" Ron paused as Harry nodded.

"Well... He done it again. Only this time he didn't do it to get at anyone... He seemed to want to see us... Through your eyes... And he spoke to Ginny" Hermione said to the floor, refusing to look anywhere else as Ron hugged her shoulders.

"What? What did he, I, say?" Harry said as he turned to look at Ginny. She looked up at him and then back down at her hands.

"He said that I looked so much like your Mum... He said that it was a shame... Can't you remember anything Harry?" Ginny added quickly, trying to get off the subject.

"No... The last thing I remember was you handing me your money... I remember walking out of here and my head felt like it had split open but I ignored it... Then it's blank, but I remember someone calling Hermione a... Well, I thought it was Malfoy, but then it's blank until now..." Harry explained as he screwed his face up. Neville turned and looked at him.

"You don't remember shouting about us?" He questioned. Harry looked at him and shook his head.

"No... I do- Wait... Yeah I do! I could see a sort of broken image of the school. It kept on going from the school, to Ginny, to Ron and Hermione, back to the school where coloured lights were flashing, to you and Luna, then back to Ginny..." He explained. Ron and Hermione looked worried and Ginny looked confused.

"Why? Wha- What happened in here?" Harry asked as he looked from Neville's black eye, to Luna's cut cheek and the finger marks on Ginny's arm. Again, Ginny didn't answer straight away, but she looked up at him with a scared look on her face.

"You" She said quietly and Harry's hand dropped from his head where he was running his fingers through his messed up hair.

"I- Wha- Me?" He stuttered as he looked into each face. They all wore an expression that told him it was true. He went to say something about it but Ginny cut him off.

"Don't apologise. We know you didn't mean it really... That was the only way we knew it was you... Seamus said that you might of thought we were Death Eaters or something..." she said as she rested her hand on his shoulder. "Apart from my arm... You didn't do that. Voldemort did" She said as Harry placed his hand round her waist.

Before Harry could do anything but move, Luna spoke.

"I can see the school, we better get changed"

yay another postie!! xD

poor Harry had no idea what was going on.

pams soon.
Prongs.

Chapter 34 and CLUES
 

LOL... Thanks Nik and Prongs!! I have a new post ready and we meet two new characters!

Nik, Just think what he could do! Oh and a hint, REMEMBER WHAT HARRY WAS SHOUTING EARLIER AND WHAT HE DESCRIBED.

~*~

The six of them made their way to the Great Hall, where Luna headed to the Ravenclaw Table while Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Neville headed for the Gryffindor table where they joined Jamie and Alicia.

Jamie Starlight and Alicia Daniels were in Harry, Ron, Hermione and Neville's year. Jamie was Pure- blood and his family were good friends with the Weasley's whereas Alicia was Muggle- born but showed the signs of magical blood like a Pure- blood because Alicia was a Metamorphmagus.

"Where were you two? Cor, Alicia. Can't you get any brighter today?" Hermione said as she sat opposite Ron.

"Why? What's wrong?" Alicia said as she looked up at the new students lining up ready to be sorted. Her hair was Ruby red, shoulder length and had a blue streak in the fringe.

"Alicia, Hermione does have a point... You are attracting a lot of attention with your hair... You couldn't tone it down a bit could you?" Harry said as Ginny glared at a second year Hufflepuff.

"It's rude to stare" She snapped and the girl turned red and turned away. Harry and Jamie laughed as Rebecca Molloy became a Slytherin.

Alicia pretended to be hurt by the boys laughter. "Fine... What colour is toned down then?" she asked as Ron started laughing but Jamie stopped.

"Hey! How come you'll change it for them but when I asked, you just put the blue in!" He said as Ginny clapped for Sarah Adams became a Gryffindor.

"Well... I have no answer to that but I knew it would annoy you" Alicia said , a smile spreading across her face as Jamie stuck his tounge at her.

"Oh will you two grow up!" Ginny laughed as Alicia pulled a face in return. "You'd never guess you were in sixth year the way you act!"

"Why don't you try blonde? We haven't seen you blonde yet..." Harry piped up before they started arguing like last time. It had been during his fourth year and they were arguing about how mature they were, up in the common room while he was trying to figure out the second clue.

Alicia stuck her tounge out at Jamie one last time then screwed her face up in concentration.

"Happy now?" Alicia said as her sleek blonde hair fell over her shoulders.

"Very. Love the red streak though..." Jamie said as he brushed a stray hair out of her face. Ginny giggled and Ron rolled his eyes.

"Oh yeah! I got a letter from your Mum Ginny..." Jamie said as he ignored Ron. "It mentioned something about you, Harry, Hermione and your brother..." He said with a grin as Ron's laughter died down.

"Oh... Yeah well, that's not all of it. As you missed Harry's birthday you wouldn't know about the D- OW" Ron said but Hermione kicked him under the table.

She shook her head as the table next to them erupted as the last person was sorted into Hufflepuff.

"I have two words for you all, Tuck in" Dumbledore said and as he clapped, the plates filled.

"Excellent... I'm so hungry!" Ron said as he stretched across Hermione towards the chicken legs.

Hermione refused to talk about what happened at the Burrow and what happened to Harry on the way to the school until they reached the Common Room.

Settling down on the couches, Hermione finally let Ron tell them about the attack.

"What? They just disappeared?" Jamie said as Alicia sat next to him. "Weird... Al, can you please release the death grip you have on my hand?" He said as he grimaced.

"Sorry!" Alicia said as she let go slightly. "What happened on the train?" She asked suddenly as She watched Ginny and Harry exchange glances.

"Wha-? You know, you really should keep your special gifts to yourself... You don't see me shouting my mouth off in Parsel- tounge all the time do you?" Harry said as Ginny looked down at her hands.

"Oh well... Just tell us or I'll find out my way!" Alicia said, waving her hands impatiently.

"It's nothing! Just the same as what happened at the Ministry... You know..." Harry said. Jamie shook his head but Alicia's jaw dropped.

"Again?" She said loudly, which made Jamie turn and look at her.

"Hey! That's cheating! Tell me!" He moaned and Alicia rolled her eyes at him.

'Voldemort possessed him again' Alicia thought as she looked at him. His jaw dropped too and he looked at Harry.

~*~

This isn't another Cliffie!! Again, another clue: REMEMBER ALICIA'S SPECIAL GIFTS.

Tell me what you think...

Oh and is it just me or are my posts getting longer??
