Author's note: Hi ppl, just wanted to say that I appreciate all the reviews that I got
from "City/Country" I probably won't be making anymore chapters to that story unless I
get an urge... then you'll get something amazing... I think. I love the song, "I Hope You
Dance" by Lee Ann Womak, this is what inspired me to write this story. I hope you enjoy
it.
Title: Fire Burning Dragon

Chapter One: Summer, what a bummer...
Summary: NOT!!! haha thought I'd actually give away the chapter? you all must be out of
ya'll's minds...
Ginny slipped in the mud puddle as she ran to catch up with her brothers. Being the
smallest really had its disadvantages. Harry was to arrive at noon and they had been
outside passing the time when her mother yelled from the porch that it was almost time.
Leaving her behind in a tree, George, Fred, and Bill all left her in the high branches.
Getting down was a hard task. She received a skinned knee and her hair had fallen out of
its lovely bun. Smudges on her face, Ginny stood back up and started running again.
Sopping wet, she literally slid into the living room a wreck. "RON! BILL! GEORGE
AND FRED!!" she yelled as she came running in. Absolutely not paying any attention to
where she was going, Ginny hit her head on the door way leading into the living room.
"Oww... Mum, they left me! In a tree...." she started to say, until she spotted Harry
dusting himself off like he had just been in a fireplace, which he had been. "Hello Ginny,
it's nice to see you again." Harry said as he studied her with a smile playing at his lips.
Blushing, Ginny said a quiet hello and turned to George, who was sitting on the sofa
reading the Daily Prophet. "Well Ginny, it looks like your dirty. Go wash up for lunch."
he said, adding in a sarcastic wave. Ginny glared at him. Starting at a run, she threw
herself at him and started swinging. "George you prat! Why'd you leave me in a tree!" she
yelled as she punched her tiny, but strong arms. Bill and Fred both jumped up quickly and
grabbed Ginny to pull her off George. As they did that, Ginny turned on them and started
punching and kicking them wildly, whilst crying. Then Ron stepped in and grabbed the
upset Ginny around the waist and set her in a chair. Wiping her eyes, she looked at her
brothers, who were all looking at her like she'd gone crazy. George, who had a bloody
nose rose and left the room toward the kitchen, looking for Mrs. Weasley who would be
able to fix it. Fred and Bill were both rubbing sore arms. Suddenly, Mrs.Weasley came
storming in but didn't speak to Ginny. "Hello Harry, its nice to see you again. Its like a zoo
here!" she said. She grabbed both Fred and Bill's ears and marched the out of the living
room.
As soon as they left, Ron and Harry crowded around Ginny and asked what had
happened. "They left me in a tree! I skinned my knee as I was coming down, then while I
was running to get home, I slipped and fell into a mud puddle, and as I was coming in I hit
the door. I am having a bad morning. Now, George, Bill, and Fred will never speak to me
until Christmas!" Ginny replied with tears were appearing in her eyes. Ron and Harry
both gave Ginny a quick hug. "Go ahead and get cleaned up. Lunch is almost ready,
okay?" Ron told her. "Okay." said Ginny getting up and walking toward the staircase to go
up to the bathroom. "Sometimes, I really feel sorry for her, I mean, she has 6 brothers.
That's where she got that mean punch though." Ron said watching Ginny walk up the
stairs. "Yeah, well, I wouldn't want to mess with her. When is Hermione arriving?" Harry
asked as he and Ron walked to the kitchen trying not to laugh at the others, who were all
sitting in corners with their faces to the walls. Harry nearly broke his ribs trying not to
laugh at a 20 year old in a corner, but it was just to much when Bill turned around to look
at them. He laughed so hard that he fell to the floor in stitches... and if it wasn't bad
enough, Bill walked over and started to tickle him like a little five-year-old. "That's
enough Bill." said Mrs. Weasley, hitting him with her wooden spoon in the head.
Rubbing the spot Bill stalked outside muttering something about child abuse. "Come on."
said Ron, who was still laughing. They stalked up the stairs to Ron's bedroom.
The orange room had hardly changed at all. Ron had moved his bed and had a dark
blue bedspread that totally clashed with the orange walls. "Here, you'll be sleeping on the
cot again, if that's all right." said Ron, putting Harry's trunk on the floor and turning to
shove a piece of bread into Pig's mouth, who was hooting annoyingly. "Herm is sleeping
in Gin's room and George and Fred'll be sleeping in here again, cause Bill and Charlie have
their room." he told him. Suddenly, there was a bell that rang from far downstairs. "Come
on, that's Mum, its lunch time." said Ron. "Great, I'm hungry!" said Harry happily.
Picking up Ginny on the way down, they headed outside for lunch. When they got
outside, Hermione was there helping Mrs.Weasley. "Hey Hermione, why didn't you tell us
you were here yet?" asked Ron. "Mrs.Weasley looked affright when I arrived. Trying to
feed 13 people all at once is quite nerve racking." answered Hermione placing plates and
silverware on the table. After everyone was seated, Mr.Weasley said grace and everyone
dug in. Ginny kept glancing over at Harry when he wasn't looking. But, Hermione
definitely noticed. After the five course meal and darkness had fallen over the backyard,
Mrs. Weasley bid them all a good night and sent them to bed. Ginny and Hermione, who
said goodnight to the boys as they got to Ginny's room, took their showers and got into
bed. "Ginny..." said Hermione in the darkness. "Yeah, what is it?" Ginny replied in a
sleepy voice. "You still like Harry, don't you?" Hermione said straight forward.
"Hermione, how could you ever think that?" Ginny said trying to sound surprised.
"Umm... maybe because you kept sneaking way to many glances over in his direction.
"Hermione muttered. "Oh... so you think I was to obvious?" Ginny asked questionably.
"No not really, but if you like him you should tell him." Hermione said to her friend.
"Well, apparently I have tried, but nothing seems to have worked." Ginny told her in a low
voice, making sure no one could hear her except Hermione. "You haven't told him straight
out yet, have you?" "No, of course not, I'll probably just stop trying and wait around for
him my whole life..." Ginny whispered, almost crying. "Oh, Ginny, don't do that... you
don't want to end up as an old maid..." Hermione tried to reassure her, but it just made it
worse. "Well, what about you, Herm? Have you told Ron you like him?" Ginny asked.
"Who said I liked Ron?" Hermione said confusingly. "Well, you are always bickering with
him, you act like a total married couple." laughed Ginny. "Ginny, I certainly do not like
Ron, I like someone else, and no I'm not going to tell you who either." Hermione said
stiffly. "Fine, be that way." Ginny said and turned her back to Hermione. "Good night,
Hermi..." Ginny said snottily. "Night Gin." Hermione said with a yawn.
That night as Ginny slept, she had an odd dream. They were all at the Yule Ball
and she was with Neville again. Everytime they danced, Draco Malfoy would cut in and
start dancing with her. After the last dance, Draco took her by the hand and led her outside
into the rose garden. They talked about this and that and just as the school bell rung from
inside, he leaned in and almost kissed her. But, the bell was just her alarm clock, which
woke her up before their lips touched. Sweating, Ginny sat straight up and looked around.
The sun was streaming in through the window and Hermione was gone, probably
downstairs eating. "Whoa, that was scary... I think I ate too much chocolate cake last
night." she said to herself as she got dressed and headed downstairs to breakfast.
Forgetting about the dream, Ginny sat down at the breakfast table and started eating her
scrambled eggs and sausages. "Hey Ginny, have a nice sleep?" asked a tired Harry coming
down the stairs. "No, not really." she responded quickly. Harry sat down beside her and
reached for the pancakes just as she finished eating. "I have to go, see ya later." Ginny said
and ran outside where Bill, Charlie, and the twins were sitting. "Hey baby sister, whatcha
doing?" asked George, forgetting about his bloody nose. "You're not mad?" Ginny asked
in a small voice. "Nah, we deserved it. Tell ya what, you can have this chocolate frog as a
token of our apology." Fred said and handed her the chocolate sweet. "Thanks you guys,
I'm sorry too... I shouldn't have beat the crap of you like that... I was so mad." she said
with a smile. Opening the package, Ginny took out the frog and nibbled the corner of it.
Bill, Charlie, Fred, and George were snickering with glee as she ate it. "What?" Ginny
said, except it came out as a quack. The boys died with laughter as she gave a look of
terrible dread. Blood boiling, Ginny walked up to Fred and slapped him so hard that Mrs.
Weasley probably heard it. With tears streaming down her face, Ginny ran inside to find
Mrs.Weasley, who could fix her voice in seconds.
Ginny didn't speak to her brothers, except Ron, all day. Instead, she kept to her
room writing in her diary. The diary was a gift to her from her mother on her birthday last
year. She had just started writing in it this summer, and now was the perfect time to start.
As she wrote about the incident that had happened earlier, she remembered her dream
from the previous night. 'I wonder what it means...' she thought to herself. Being in
Divination, it had taught her that she should expand her mind and take her dreams
seriously. 'I'll think about it later... I am so mad at them...' she thought as her mind turned
back to her brothers. Putting down her book, Ginny got up and walked out of her room to
go find Hermione, and if she found Herm, she's obviously fine Harry. Thinking this, she
smiled to herself and walked through the house calling Hermione's name.
The End of chapter one*tear* How do ya like it so far? Ginny slapping her brothers... cheddar chezzy, I know, I know, but if your brother turned your voice into a duck's quack after faking an apology you'd be mad too. Well, g2g, I have to write chapter two... Ok, I'll stop writing this author's note. Peace.
Oh yeah, 4got one thing: I do not legally, or in anyway possible own ay of the characters or anything else you might see in the Harry Potter Book Series. K? LyL all my readers. R&R!!!
