I don't own the HP characters or anything like that, those are all property of Ms. Rowling. I do own my idea for my story, and this here computer I'm typing it in. Anyway, on with the story.
Chapter 1
It was a normal day like any other. Harry and co. were on their second to last day of summer holidays and Harry couldn't wait until he got to The Burrow. He would be starting his 6th year in two days. He was so exited about leaving the Dursley's that he woke up at about 8:15 a.m. The Weasley's were supposed to come pick him up at about noon. Harry looked at the clock on the Dursley's mantlepice.
"12:27, c'mon, c'mon where are you?" Harry thought aloud.
Just then Harry heard Fred or George speak.
"Hey Harry, traveled here using floo powder. Are you ready?" Came the voice.
"Yeah, totally, let's go. I couldn't stand another minute in this place!" Exclaimed Harry.
Just then, Aunt Petunia came down the stairs to wish Harry a good school year. When she heard his words, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
'Maybe Vernon and I have been a bit harsh on him, after all he's only an orphan.' she thought to herself. And with that, she ran back up the stairs.
"C'mon Harry, we don't want to keep Mum and Dad waiting too long. They might think that something happened along the way or that the muggles wouldn't let you go." Said the voice that Harry found out later was Fred.
"Okay, let's go"
Harry stepped into the friendly fire that licked his ears.
"The Burrow" he yelled.
Harry felt the familiar sensation that churned his stomach, spinned his head, and bumped his elbows. A few seconds later, he arrived at the Weasley's fireplace finding everyone welcoming him.
"Hey Harry!! We've missed you!!" Exclaimed Ron and Hermione at the same time.
"Harry, old dog, good to see you." smiled Percy
"Are you alright, dear, did the muggles give you any problems?" asked Mrs. Weasley.
The questions kept coming, and so did the answers. It was about 3:30 when Mrs. Weasley announced time for Diagon Alley.
"Alright, all of you. It's time to get you're school supplies at Diagon Alley."
Harry laughed as he imagined fat Dudley pushing a cart through Wal-mart aisles looking for school supplies.
"No thank you, Mrs. Weasley, I've got my school supplies. Hagrid picked me up last week and took me to Diagon Alley, so I've got everything I need for school.
"Oh alright, dear. Ginny will also be staying because Hermione gave her a few hand-me-downs from last year. And by the way, call me Molly, dear." Said Molly matter-of-factly. "The rest of you, let's go get you're things."
"Umm Mrs. Weasley? I have some things I need to take care of upstairs, can you wait for me?" Asked Hermione.
"Of course, dear."
"Thank you."
Hermione got Harry by the sleeve and took him upstairs. They got to a door that had a sign hanged on it that read: Ginny and Hermione's room, keep out. It had a small portrait of the Weasley's pleasantly plump grandmother with a red party dress.
"Password?" she mumbled
"Ginny is queen." Said Hermione glumly
The door swung open and Harry and Hermione stepped in. Harry saw Ginny laying on a bed reading a copy of "Witch's Digest." She looked deep in thought, and only looked up when she saw Hermione, but when she saw Harry she jumped up and sat upright. She still got a little jumpy everytime she saw him, considering the fact that she liked him. Hermione led Harry to a closet and took out a trunk.
"Listen, Harry, i was wondering if you could pack my things for me, since you're not going to Diagon Alley, and you could save me loads of time." asked Hermione
"Yeah, sure." said Harry
"Thanks." With that, Hermione skipped happily downstairs.
"So where are Hermione's things at?" Harry asked Ginny
"In the cupboard there." Ginny pointed to a rusty cupboard that looked like it had been kicked a few times. Harry nodded and Ginny went back to her magazine.
Harry started gathering all of Hermione's belongings (mostly books) when he realized he had to go to the bathroom. He wanted to ask Ginny if he could use hers so badly, but he felt a little embarrassed. When it gathered to be more than he could handle, he mustered up his courage.
"Uhh, Ginny?"
Ginny looked up. "Yes?"
"Do you mind if I use your facilities?"
"Oh, not at all, it's down the trapdoor, in the closet. You can jump it, it'll be a soft landing. The bathroom is the door on the right." Replied Ginny.
"Thanks" said Harry, and with that he ran to the closet and jumped down the trapdoor. He landed on something soft, and when he looked around, he saw he was lying on some soft rags. He saw two doors, one had a picture of a toilet, and the other had a gold star on it. He proceeded into the one with a picture of a toilet, since it was on the right. He took care of his business and ran out of the bathroom. When he came back up the trapdoor, he saw Ginny still reading her magazine. He was amazed at how cute she looked even with her hair messed up, her brow furrowed. He knew he liked her, but he didn't want to admit it to anyone.
"Thanks, Ginny for the bathroom." Harry told her.
Ginny smiled, "Anytime."
Harry went back to packing Hermione's things. When he was done, he put the trunk back in the closet. He went over to the door to exit the room, when Ginny's voice stopped him.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Oh, well I was finished packing Hermione's things, so I just thought that maybe you wanted some time alone." He replied.
"Will you please stay with me, Harry, I don't want to be alone in this room." She asked with a trace of hope behind her eyes.
Harry smiled to himself, maybe today he can finally tell her what he feels for her. Maybe he can tell her that he wants to be more than her friend, so he replied a simple "Yes."
Harry sat next to Ginny on her bed, he felt a little nervous sitting so close to her, their thighs nearly brushing. She put away her magazine and looked at him.
"Harry do you mind if you show me how to work a muggle television? Daddy bought one off of some drunk muggles, Mum reckons it's stolen, but anyway, will you show me how to work it?" Ginny asked him shyly.
Harry remembered that he hadn't gotten much of a chance at the Dursley's to watch television, be he knew a thing or two about them, so he said "Sure."
He followed Ginny down the trapdoor again, but this time, they went into the other room with a gold star on it. Harry saw a velvet sofa with a big muggle television in front of it. There was also a dvd player and some movies next to the TV.
"Did the dvd player and the movies come with the television?" asked Harry.
"The what and the what?" replied a confused Ginny.
Harry pointed, "Those things."
"Oh yes, Daddy says they attach to the TV, but we don't know how, do you know how?" asked Ginny.
"Yeah, hold on."
He took a few minutes and got everything together. When he finally turned on the TV it had some words on it that said 'Insert disk.'
He looked at Ginny, "So what movie do you want to watch? We have 'Remember The Titans', 'Zoolander', 'Rush Hour', and 'Shrek' " (A/N, these are the first movies that popped in my head, so don't kill me)
Ginny looked at him in admiration, "That one." She pointed to 'Zoolander' "because he sort of looks like you" Ginny giggled.
Harry laughed, "Ok, it's in" He sat down on the couch.
"Wait, I heard muggles like to eat while watching movies, so I have these." Ginny said while she bent down next to a cupboard and took out: popcorn, soda cans, Bertie Bott's, M&M's, Skittles, Chocolate frogs, and Twizzlers.
Harry smiled, "You don't miss a thing, do you?"
"Nope," She replied smiling back.
They brought a table in front of the couch, and dumped all the muggle/wizard sweets on it. They both sat down on the couch and started feasting, while Harry pushed PLAY on the remote control.
They laughed in certain parts of the movie, and laughed some more afterwards. When the sweets were gone, they just sat back and relaxed. Ginny put her head on Harry's shoulder. Harry was surprised at her non-embarrassment, so he just wrapped a protective arm around her. They sat there watching the movie, neither of them talking, just glad to be with each other.
Ginny woke up with a nightmare. She had been running in the forest with Voldemort after her. He wanted her dead. She woke up in a cold sweat, and was startled when she didn't see her bedroom ceiling. She looked around at her surroundings and remembered where she was.
"Hmm, we must've fallen asleep watching the movie," She thought. She felt like waking up Harry and telling him this, but she just felt 'right' in his arms. She decided to leave this matter until morning, so she laid her head back down on Harry's chest. Just then he pulled her closer in his sleep and muttered "I love you, Ginny." Ginny's heart did a flip. She felt like putting her arms around him and kissing him and telling him that she loved him too, but he looked so peaceful in his sleep, so she laid down happily and went to sleep.
A/N: This is my first story, please leave me some reviews on what you think of it, the good and the bad. Oh and any flames will be laughed at and cherished, well not really cherished, but anyway, if you DO flame, I don't mind as long as it's not too harsh. Thanks.
Oh and by the way, I'll post the next chapter soon, like maybe tomorrow or the next day. Sooner, if i get reviews.
