Chapter One
They had returned to the Burrow after the battle, after the memorial service. Harry had not wanted to intrude, but everyone knew he was just being silly, and invited him to stay. His protests were not listened to, which Ginny was glad of. Having Harry by her side, to hold her hand at Fred's funeral was better than any medicine that Ginny could have wished for.
It had not all been smooth sailing, however. They were not the perfect couple, the Weasley brothers had seen to that. They had taken to barging into Ginny's room with (supposed) orders from their mother, at the same time subjecting themselves to Ginny's infamous Bat Bogey Hex.
Harry and Ginny had then decided to put an intruder alarm on Ginny's room, and recently, when Bill, Charlie, Ron or even Percy had tried to disrupt their make-out sessions, they were immensely disappointed to find the couple reading Quidditch manuals, or the Daily Prophet, or discussing the rebuilding of Hogwarts.
This was extremely satisfying to watch the brothers' faces' fall when they saw Harry and Ginny writing letters to their friends from Hogwarts, or something similar. But once the door had been closed, there was always a stifled giggle.
"You know," commented Charlie one evening, once Ginny and Harry had withdrawn to "read". "They seem to be reading a lot these days."
"Yeah, right," replied Ron. "We've just got to catch them off guard, that's all."
"That does seem a little unfair," argued Hermione. "After everything they've been through this past year, it's nice to see them happy."
There was a general nod of agreement at this, but then Percy added:
"Wouldn't it just be funny to do it anyway?"
The room burst into explosive laughter and they decided to get their plan underway.
