The next morning Ron woke up with a grin.
Ginny wasn't dating Dean anymore. Him and his brothers had succeeded in scaring Dean away from his little sister.
He didn't want to do that to Ginny but she was the one who brought this upon herself. She was too young to be dating yet. In his opinion anyway.
He pulled open the hangings of Harry's bed and was surprised to discover that he wasn't there.
Ron walked downstairs wondering curiously where Harry had gotten to. But the sight that was downstairs made him forget everything.
Ginny was lying on the sofa and her head was on someone's chest. Ron's eyes moved to the person under Ginny and his eyes almost fell out.
It was Harry.
His arms were around her waist and her arms were linked around his neck.
'WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON HERE?' he yelled.
His scream would have made Mrs. Weasley proud. In about 3 seconds people were coming down from the stairs.
From the boys dormitory Dean came down first and from the girls dormitory Hermione came down followed closely by Lavender and Parvati. Their eyes nearly popped out when they saw the two people sleeping on the couch.
'WHAT DO YOU TWO THINK YOU ARE DOING?' Ron shouted again.
This succeeded in waking them up. Ginny moved and looked up into the face of Harry. She smiled. 'Morning love' she whispered so that only he could here. He responded by kissing her forehead.
Then they both looked at all the people staring at them. Ron was looking murderous but Hermione was looking delightful. Almost as if she knew that this was going to happen someday.
They both stood up, ready to face Ron's fury. 'Look Ronald, don't blow this out of proportion' Ginny said calmly.
Ron's face turned red. 'WHAT DO YOU MEAN! I COME DOWN STAIRS AND FIND MY BEST MATE SLEEPING WITH MY LITTLE SISTER.'
Now Ginny was mad. 'We know! We did this on purpose and all we were doing was sleeping. This is your little sister and best mate you're talking about!' she shrieked. Ron glared.
'That's my point!' he roared. 'Little sisters and best mates don't just go to sleep together. What are you two?' he yelled.
In response Ginny grabbed Harry and gave him a kiss on the lips.
They stayed that way for about a minute then both were gasping for breath. 'Does that answer your question? We're dating.' She said and then she turned and left to go up to her dorm.
Harry just stood there.
Tomorrow they were going to the burrow for Christmas. Would this ruin everything?
Ron looked at him. 'Harry I need to talk to upstairs now!' he said through clenched teeth. Harry walked up the stairs. Hermione was looking at Ron with disbelief. She couldn't believe it. He was mad?
With one last glare towards him she turned and left to go and talk to Ginny.
Ron marched up to Harry, closed the door and then turned to the person sitting on his bed.
'What were you doing with my sister?' he asked furiously.
Harry looked up at him. 'Look I've been meaning to tell you this Ron. I like Ginny. Like really like her.'
Ron stared at him and then went into a tirade. 'You can't like her Harry, she's my sister. She means a lot to me. She's beautiful and smart and nice and funny and you're…' he trailed off.
Harry glared and his normally bright green eyes hardened. 'Are you saying that I don't deserve her?' he asked in a voice that was close to a whisper.
'No, well Harry you're dangerous and Ginny could get hurt.' That was what hurt Harry the most.
He realized what was wrong when he thought that Ron would understand about their relationship. Ron was saying that Harry would hurt his sister. Hurt her! He was saying that Harry wasn't good enough for Ginny and that she would be in danger.
Harry glared at Ron and was about to get up and leave.
Just then Neville came in. 'Harry, I need help with the Defense essay that's due after break.' He said timidly.
Ron glared at Neville. 'Well we aren't done!' he shot at him. Harry glared at Ron.
'Yes we are. Come on' Him and Neville descended the stairs leaving Ron fuming.
