A/n- hi all, I'm wizards of galifrey, and this my first fanfic. So...yay!um, well I hope you all like and please review.(be kind)

Chapter one- The arrival

"Ginny! Get up! Harry is arriving this afternoon and I require your help cleaning." Molly ordered as she passed Ginny's door way. The youngest Weasley merely grunted and slowly slid from her bed. "Clean what? The house is already spotless." muttered the redhead under her breath hoping her dictator of a mum wouldn't hear her. After finding her robe, she pulled it on and headed down to breakfast. The burrow wasn't as crowded as it usually was this time in the morning; taking a mental note, Ginny deduced her father and Percy were at work(both Weasleys work at the Ministry of magic, a magical government in England), Bill, to Ginny's guess was still in Egypt decursing an ancient time for the wizarding bank, Gringotts, and Charlie was in Romania working with a couple Chinese fireballs. Helping herself to a piece of toast, Ginny slid next to her brother Ron, and stared as he was gulping down his eggs as if he hadn't eaten in days. "Hungry are you?" Ginny asked with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. Looking away from his eggs, Ron gave his sister a defensive look. "what? Hungary", he asked before returning to his breakfast. Ginny rolled her eyes and took a bite out of here toast. A few moments of complete silence have passed before looking over to see Pigwidgeon flying to the window, over to Molly. Carefully taking the mail from the owls tiny leg, she passed out a letter from Hogwarts to each under aged Weasley and a second letter to Ginny. Ginny took it and saw it was from Hermione. Yawning, she opened it and read:

Dear Ginervra,

Ginny cringed at the mention of her real name.

Hello, are you having a good holiday? I suppose I am, despite the fact my parents have taken me along with them to a dentists convention (a dentist is a muggle healer that specializes in ones teeth). It wasn't all that despicable, well...they made me watch a demonstration of filling a tooth, but I digress. Anyway I heard that Harry was arriving on the 30th of July, the day before his birthday. Depending on when you receive this letter, he might already have arrived or hadn't. But all in all I thought I might warn you of this piece of information. Seeing as it will be his birthday the day after he arrives, I thought it might be good for him to be given a party of sorts in light of what has happened at the end of last term. And also thought that that writing to you about this might be a better approach than to writing Ron. In my opinion, with him knowing Harry to well might be reluctant to a party. And it might be a little more fun for Harry with a woman's touch that a party ran by Ron's awful manners, that might start something up in Harry. Well good luck and give everyone my best.

Hermione.

After reading the letter, Ginny was stuck in thought of what to do, if to do anything at all. She's never gotten to know Harry, not as well as he brother, let alone what he liked in concern to a party. After a few hours of pondering in her room at the window, the only Idea that came to mind was to tell he mother to bake a cake. After considering it, Ginny rushed down stairs to inform Molly, who seemed so eager at the idea, she wisped away to start baking at once. Pleased with herself, the redhead headed up to her room but stopped dead as she looked out a window and noticed a pair of emerald shade of green eyes walking up the sidewalk to her front door with an owl and trunk in hand.

OK so I hope u all like it so far and I'm sorry it's short but that's OK. Please review!
