Chapter 1

"RONALD WEASLEY IF I EVER SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN IT WOULD BE TOO SOON!"

"WELL IF I EVER SAW YOUR FACE AGAIN HERMIONE JANE GRANGER THEN IT WOULD BE THE DEATH OF ME!"

"I HATE YOU!"

"I HATE YOU MORE!"

"I LOATHE YOU!"

"I LOATHE YOU MORE!"

"I LOATHE YOU MORE THEN YOU LOATH ME!"

"I LOATH YOU TIMES INFINITY!"

"That makes no sense Ron!"

"Well, you make no sense!"

"I make PERFECT sense!"

"No you don't!"

"Yes I do!"

"NO YOU DON'T!"

It was one of those fights. The one that had started with something simple, holiday homework that had escaladed into a full blown I hate you fight. Harry sat with Ginny upon the floor, just looking at them like they were crazy. Ginny kept shaking her head and sighing beside him. They had gotten use to it over the years, but it did not mean that they liked it anymore then when they first started. Harry sat, playing with a strang of string he had found upon the floor as Ginny looked down at the letter from Dean Thomas that had come at the beginning of the fight.

"What does Dean say?"

"Oh the usual blah blah blah stuff. You know I really don't think I fancy him anymore."

"Really?" Harry asked, slightly unsure why he was happy about it.

"Yeah. He's all I love you all the time and that he thinks about me every second and he he goes on about how he wants to protect me and after a while it gets SUPER annoying."

"What would you want a guy to do? Tell you that he doesn't have feelings for you?"

"Naw. I would want that. Just not a hundred billion times a day. All his letters say that and that I'm his angel. It gets to the point when a girl wonders if he even if interested in you and not just what he can get."

"Well then dump him."

"I've tried. Six times already!"

"Tell him you have a boyfriend."

"But who could I have as my pretend boyfriend that would be strong enough to resist my brothers and Dean?"

"I don't know. Someone that you know would be kind enough to do that."

They sat and thought together as the war continued to rage between Hermione and Ron. They sat in silence before Harry noticed that Ginny was looking at him mischieveiously. He looked down and saw her maniac type grin.

"Oh no. No no no no no no no, Ginny!"

"Please Harry! Please please please please!" Harry sighed and then looked over at Ron. He was going to die, that he knew. He looked at her and nodded. She immediately engulfed him in a large hug.

"Oh thank you!" She squealed.

"What does this pretend boyfriendship entail, Gin?" She looked at him, a smile played upon her lips.

"Well, you'll have to hold my hand. And be around me alot. We'll have to kiss. Even snog, to make it believeable. Especially since we're spending the summer together... We can't tell Hermione or Ron because they'll just tell everyone else. That's it I think."

Harry sighed and shook his head.

"Okay Ginny. But no telling other boys that I can beat them up. I have enough on my plate already." Ginny grinned at him.

"Oh darn! I SO wanted to tell that to Dean!" Harry nudged her and laughed softly.

"WELL IF YOU WEREN'T SO DUMB I WOULDN'T TRY TO HELP YOU!"

"WELL IF YOU WEREN'T SO SMART I WOULDN'T NEED YOUR HELP!"

Ron and Hermione stood in the middle of the room just looking at each other after Ron's statement. Hermione looked at him, her face turning scarlet red, as she tried to hold in a laugh. She was successful for only a moment before she burst out in hysterical laughter.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Ron roared at her, his face becoming as fiery as his hair. Hermione nodded, sinking to the floor.

"Yes it is! You just admitted that you're dumb!"

"I didn't admit it!"

"Did too!"

"Did not!"

Harry sighed and inched closer to Ginny, seeing the end of the fight near at hand. Ginny inched closer, turned her face to his ear and whispered so softly that the essence of her breath tickled Harry's ear, sending shivers up and down his spine.

"They are such gits." He looked at her and laughed, nodding and trying to rid himself of this sense of butterflies that had come to reside within the pit of his stomach. He glanced down to see that her hand was very close to his. He swallowed hard before placing his hand ever so slowly upon hers and grasping it. At the same time, if he wasn't mistaken, Ginny sighed contentedly. He shook the thought away. She didn't like him. She was done fancing him. Yet, he realized now, as jolts of electricity sped through his arm, that he was fancing Ginny something fierce.

"OH MY GOSH! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN!" Hermione squealed as she immediately pointed to their clasped hands. Harry looked up, his heart dropping.

"What? You and Harry are..." Ron trailed off. Ginny nodded, a bright smile upon her face.

"Just now, while you were fighting," Ginny answered simply. Hermione clasped her hands together in front of her and smiled.

"Finally! Gosh it's taken six years! I'm so happy for you guys!" Hermione exclaimed.

"Don't hurt me," Harry said to Ron. Ron laughed, pure and loud at the fear that resided within his best mate's voice.

"Don't worry. I won't. I've always wanted you two to get together. However, as older brother, I will have to kill you if you hurt her," Ron joked. Harry nodded, glad that Ron wasn't flipping out about this but that didn't mean that at dinner that night that the rest of the family would be as calm as Ron.
