Chapter 2
The door to number four private drive opened only a crack, to reveal the very plump face of Harry's cousin, Dudley.
"Harry, what are you doing here?" Dudley whispered through the crack.
"Well I have some things to get from my room that I left here last year. Ginny and I are coming to get them so that we can move them to our house in London." Harry found no need to whisper as he told Dudley this.
"Dudley dear, who's at the door?" Petunia approached the door opened it and smiled, but the smile dripped from her face and hit the floor once she realized who was at the door.
"What are you doing here?" She hissed at him. Her eyes darted over to Ginny and a look of understanding washed over her face.
"Do you really think that Vernon and I are going to house you and your mistake, Potter? Well I think not, you should have been smart enough too…" Her voice drizzled off slowly. Harry had realized what his Aunt was saying about him and Ginny
"No, you have it wrong. Ginny and I don't need a home we have one in London I just need to some things out of my room and then I will leave your lives forever."
"You and your type are never permitted in this house, and as for your things I burned after you left last year." Petunia told him this as if his property meant nothing. Harry was about to say something until the door was slammed in his face. Harry buried his hands in his pockets as he and Ginny walked to a secluded section of a park. Harry grabbed her arm and apparated back to his house.
Ron was pacing in his room; he could not get a grip on what happened. He recalled all things that he could remember from last night. He could remember that he and Hermione had gone up to a room, they had stripped each other. After that all he remembered was going to lie down on the bed. Had it really been that bad that his mind had wanted to block it out, or was so over powering that his brain could not grasp what he was feeling at the time and therefore could not remember it. Or had they not even made love at all?
Hermione was walking down a cobblestone street taking in the air of London; though she loved Hogwarts she had all ways missed London while she was at school. She entered the door of the café that she was meeting her parents at.
"I'm here with the Grangers." She directed at the hostess
"Yes of course, right this way please" she led Hermione through the restaurant to the back doors which led out onto a patio. Hermione saw her parents at once. Hermione waved to her parents to get their attention as she approached their table. As she neared her mother got up from her chair so that she could give her only daughter a hug.
"Hermione, dearest how are you?" She pulled her daughter closer into the hug.
"I'm great mother, how are you and dad I haven't seen or talked to you for so long?"
"We are great dear, one of the reasons that we are here is that we wanted to talk to you about what you wanted to do with your future." Her mother finished the statement then sat back down in her chair gracefully showing Hermione her chair.
Her mother had never been one to beat around the bush; Hermione prepared herself to have a verbal confrontation with her mother.
"Hermione your father and I want to confront you about our worries for you." She sucked in a slow breath, and Hermione prepared for one of her famous speeches. "Your father and I believe that you should consider… leaving … the world that you live in now." Her mother gave a sympathetic look, then finding the angry look on Hermione's face quickly continued her rehearsed speech.
"We feel that you would be safer if lived in London and married well a… person that cannot do magic. We invited our secretary's son, he is extremely nice, and we told him about you and he seemed keen to meet you." Her mother pointed to the empty chair.
Of course, Hermione thought, just when things with Ron seem to be going so well her parents would pull something like this.
"What?" Hermione still refused to believe that her parents would set her up on a blind date.
"Oh and there he is." Mrs. Granger pointed at the door to the café.
Hermione turned her head and burst out laughing, she thought that he parents were going to set her up with a muggle not Dean.
"Dean, how are you?" Hermione approached him and gave him a friendly hug, trying to show that she was most certainly not interested in anyone that was not Ron. Dean seemed to have gotten the sign because his hands didn't wander down to her lower back.
"You two know each other?" Hermione's mother asked tentatively
"Of course mother we went to school with each other. So Dean what are you doing now?" Hermione sat back down in her chair, absolutely radiating victory towards her mother.
"Well right now I'm going through Auror training. I'm in the class behind Ron and Harry they are in the advanced class." Dean finished his statement by taking a drink of cold water in front of him.
Mrs. Granger looked very distraught she had wanted her daughter to date a normal boy and she could not seem to find one anywhere in London. After the meal was served the table became quieter, Hermione told her parents that she had to leave the moment that she was done eating. She had to get back to Grimmauld Place so that she and Ron could continue talking.
Ginny was at the Burrow, she was finishing up her packing. Her mother was running up and down the stairs gathering all her clothes. Ginny thought she was doing too much this was the only the second time that she would have one child going off to Hogwarts and it would also be the last time. Molly rushed in gave her more socks
"Mom please I have enough socks to last me a lifetime." She was organising all the things in her trunk so that all the socks that her mother insisted on giving her would fit.
"Ginny dear there is something that I would like to talk to you about." Molly sat down at the end of her daughter's bed. She turned her body toward her daughter let out a breath and began
"Ginny this is your last year and I know that their will be feelings and situations that you are not used to… There is a spell that you can use to help protect your self against unwanted consequences." Ginny looked up from her trunk to her mother, a look of pure shock on her face. Her mother was giving her the sex talk one day to late.
"Ginny don't look at me like that I gave all your brothers this talk before their last year, of course I gave it to the twins earlier woman are just like magnets to them." Molly finished
"Mom, although I do appreciate your kind words of wisdom, your speech comes a little late." Ginny said as sweetly as could while still filling her words with enough venom to make her mother stop talking to her.
Realisation donned on Molly's as she realized what her daughter had just confronted her with.
"What?" Molly could not come to reality when it came to the information that her daughter told her.
"Mom, I have already had sex" Ginny repeated it slow and with pauses between all the words
"Ginny please, you are too young for those sorts of actions. Who did you do it with?" Molly examined her daughter closely for any details that would give away who she had had sex with.
"Mom that is for me to know and me and that person alone" Ginny looked her mother in the eye showing that she was not getting any more information from her.
"Fine, when you are done packing come down and have supper with your father and I" She walked towards the door, looked back once into the room then closed it quietly.
"Great" Ginny mumbled to herself.
Harry and Ron were standing in the office of the Head Auror office where they were being briefed on there next assignment.
"You two and two other Aurors will be spending the year at Hogwarts protecting the students and watching for any funny actions. I don't want to take any risks, I will have weekly reports from both of you on any sort pranks or odd things and who has done them, or what you have found so far in your investigation. This post will only last one year until I choose another Auror to replace you with, any questions?" he paused for but a moment "Good you two will be on the Train tomorrow with the students though you will have your own reserved compartment. These pieces of parchment have all the information that you need. You may go now."
Harry and Ron walked out of their boss's office as though they just won the lottery. They were going to spend the whole year at Hogwarts, were getting made to do it and only had to do one report a week this looked like it was going to be the best year of their lives.
"Wait till we tell the girls they will be so happy"
"Yeah, they will" he reassured, though he wasn't sure how Hermione would react to him gone for a whole year.
Ron was still confused about where him and Hermione were in their relationship they had kissed, but that was only once no make that twice now. He was going to go back to the house and they were going to talk about what was happening. Ron decided that he wasn't going to tell her that he was leaving until they sorted the whole thing out. When he and Harry returned to number twelve Ron went in search of Hermione so that he could sort the whole mess out. He found her sitting in her room reading some excruciating long book about healing.
"So is that what you are going to do then, be a healer?" Ron inquired about the book.
"Yes, that's what I want to do but I need two years of experience before I can apply to be a healer at St. Mungo's. I don't where I would work though. They don't need any more volunteers at the hospital." Hermione went back to her book.
"Hermione I was wondering if I could talk to you about last night?" Ron stepped carefully into the room, as if on egg shells.
"What about last night?" Hermione looked up at with purely innocent eyes that drove Ron up the wall.
"Well there is something that I need to know" Ron suck in a breath and continued "I need to what happened last night… I need to know if we slept together" He looked up at her and Hermione started smiling.
"No Ron nothing happened" She stepped off the bed and moved closer towards him "but that doesn't mean that something won't happen" She walked out the door down the hall and out of Ron's sight.
"What the hell just happened" he mumbled to him self as he left the room.
Ginny was eating supper with her parents it was quiet which was very odd. Her mother was giving the most evil looks imaginable. Mr. Weasley only catching on to his wife's angry stares now.
"Molly dearest is something wrong?" He asked as he ate his roast beef.
"Why yes Arthur there is, our daughter" Molly flashed in evil glare at Ginny "has had sex!" She hissed at her husband. Arthur smashed the glass that he was drinking out of
"SHE DID WHAT?" Arthur's gaze landed on Ginny, who was shooting daggers at her mother.
"Can we NOT talk about my sex life" Ginny got up from the table and left to go find Harry. She went to his home looked for him and found him in his living room.
"Gin, they you are I was just about to go find you, I have some good news" He got up and kissed her. It was just what she needed at that moment some assurance that he would be their when she needed him
"What is it; I could really use some good news right now." She has she sat her self down beside Harry on the couch.
"Why? What happened Gin?" He looked at her with concern written on his face.
"I'll tell you after you tell me the good news."
"Fine, well I got called into work earlier today after you left and seems that they need some Auror's to look after the school this year." Harry paused and looked at Ginny; she looked truly happy "Ron and I were chosen to guard the school this year. We are also going to take the train with the student's tomorrow. So as much as I would love to spend the rest of the night on the couch with you I need to go pack for work."
"I'll come and help you" Ginny gracefully got off the couch and started to walk upstairs towards his bedroom
"You are so bad" He said to her as he chased her up the stairs.
Harry only managed to reach Ginny at the door of his room.
"Ginny what were you going to tell me before?"
"Oh yeah, ok so I was finishing my packing and mom came into my room. She was huffing about me not having enough socks. Then she tried to give me the sex talk" She glanced at Harry who was trying to hold in a laugh "Yeah I know just a little late. So then I told that I had already had sex" She looked at Harry again who looked concerned "Don't worry I didn't tell her who with, I don't want her killing you. So then she stormed out of my room. Then when we were having supper she was all angry and huffing, then she blurted in out in front of Dad who went ballistic. So I left and came here." She finished took in a long breath and laughed.
"Gin, Hon, you know that I love you but you have to sort this out with your parents before you leave for school so you can stay here for a while then I'm turning out so that you can go home and sleep because I know that you won't sleep it you spend the night here." Harry stoked her arm and kissed her on the forehead.
"Your right, I love you, I should go speak to her, I will see you at King's Cross in the morning" she kissed him "tell me what compartment you will be in, okay?"
