After Rajah's strange announcement and the end of the interrogation session Harry decided to take a nap. Ron had gone out to help set up for the party while Ginny and Hermione decided to help in the kitchen and change clothes afterwards. Harry was having a nice peaceful nap until he got the feeling he was being watched. Halfway coming out of his sleep Harry felt someone poking him hard in the back.

''Lemmeloneandgetout'' he mumbled but the poking insisted. He tried throwing the pillow and for a few seconds thought he had gotten his point across when…

''RAJAH WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS YOUR PROBLEM?!! GET YOUR CLAWS AND YOUR ASS OFF OF MY BACK!!!'' Harry yelled in rage as he jumped off of the bed and hopped into his pants.

Completely unconcerned with the fact that he was only wearing a pair of shorts Harry was ready to chase Rajah all over the house until he could get hold of him and beat him in the head. It wasn't until Harry heard a gasp that he came back in touch with reality. Spinning around he came face to face with Ginny whose eyes were glued to his chest. The air in the room was still until the sound of the door closing brought the two out of their speechlessness.

''Mum told me to bring you some food so you wouldn't starve. I tried to wake you up and then I had Rajah do it for me. I didn't think he would jump on you though'' she said hurriedly

''Err, thanks'' Harry said

''Is that the reason you and Ron are always waking up before us?'' she asked. Harry noticed that as she asked the question she was analyzing his tattoo and the rest of him with a glint in her eye that he couldn't really place.

''Well, yeah'', he confessed ''but you can't tell Hermione or she'll freak out.''

''I kind of figured as much but she said you two might have been thinking about doing something stupid'' she said.

''Yeah? What did she say when you brought up the tattoo theory?'' he said looking slightly hopeful.

''Nothing except that you couldn't get a tattoo unless a grownup was with you and even if you did get one she would have known because you and Ron would have wanted to show them to everyone'' she said dully as she sat on Harry's bed and picked through his lunch.

''Well'', he said sitting beside her and picking up a sandwich ''she hit it spot on about the grownup thing but why would she think we would want to show off a tattoo?''

''Dunno, I half expected you to but on the other hand I kind of figured you would keep it secret until school so mum wouldn't kill Ron''

''That …and we wanted to tell everyone, especially Hermione, when we thought they were ready.'' he said

''When do you think Hermione will be ready then?'' she asked curiously marveling at the way the tattoo moved on his chest.

''Dunno, soon I hope'' he said finishing off his sandwich ''Do you know where he might be? I don't want him to get cornered by Hermione.'' he said starting to worry about his best mate.

''Last I checked he was helping finish up and Hermione was changing'' she said thoughtfully ''besides the worst that could happen is Hermione gives him a couple of bruises.''

''No, the worst that could happen is Ron looks down her shirt and gets a good glimpse of her breasts. After that it's as if you poured an entire cauldron of Veritaserum into his mouth.'' Harry said shaking his head ''Ask him a question and he'll be more than happy to answer''

''Well as long as he steers clear of the bathroom he should be fine.''

Ron had just come from outside and was dripping with sweat. Constantly moving around furniture under his mother's command Ron and Charlie had had to bear their mother's and the sun's tirade. Now that he was in the house he felt that he was in desperate need of a shower. Going straight upstairs to the bathroom Ron ran the water so that he could take his shower. It wasn't until he took off his shirt and looked in the mirror that he began to have second thoughts about his shower. Unfortunately the more unreasonable side of him won out and told him to take the shower. Conceding to his thoughts Ron hopped in the shower.

After half an hour of scrubbing, and a scent of fresh lemons to prove it, Ron was finally clean. Grabbing a towel and beginning to dry off Ron stepped out of the shower and wrapped the towel around his waist while grabbing another one to dry off his hair. It wasn't until Ron looked towards the sink that he noticed a pair of sandals and painted toes that he noticed he wasn't the only one in the bathroom.

''Gin…'' he started but stopped when he saw who it was.

Perched atop the sink was none other than Hermione. She had changed into a lovely sun dress that showed just enough of her cleavage for Ron to see. At the moment she was watching Ron watch her and hadn't even minded that Ron had made the mistake of calling her his sister. As he looked closely Ron noticed two things. The first was that not only was she looking at him but her eyes were drawn to the southern regions of his towel and he was pretty sure shecould see his hard on and the second was that she had a mischievous look in her eye that reminded him of Ginny.

''Err, hi… Hermione'' he said finally taking his eyes off of her breasts.

''Hello Ron'' was all she said.

''Erm, can I help you with something?'' he asked cautiously.

''No. Well… maybe.''

''Okay what's up?''

''I could ask you the same thing'' she said

''What do you mean?''

''Well, why is it ", she began as she got down from the sink and cornered an already anxious Ron "that you couldn't confide in me about your lovely new tattoo?''

''Sooo you're not upset?''

''Mmmm no'' she said as she lightly traced the lion with her finger.

Ron let her continue to do this until he became aware of all of his blood rushing south and his brain beginning to shut down.

''So you're not gonna tell my mum?'' Ron asked as he watched her fascination with his tattoo.

''I never said that'' she said tracing the mane of the lion near his nipple

''But she'll kill me if you tell her. Come on 'Mione pleeease. I'll do anything.'' He said hurriedly.

''Anything?''

''Anything, I swear''

''Yes, well you do enough of that on a daily basis'', she said thinking ''Fine. I won't tell your mother as long as you do everything I tell you to do''

''Okay'' he said happily not even thinking of what that might include.

What's the worst that could happen? he thought. All I have to do is follow her around and do whatever she says. Besides if this is what she's going to wear all day it is definitely worth it.

I can't believe how easy this is going to be. Doesn't he even want to know what the terms include? she thought as she eyed him from top to bottom. He is extremely happy and just seeing that tells me this dress is definitely working wonders on his hormones. I would love to see all of him spread out on a bed; his strong hands caressing me and using his fingers on my clit……Snap out of it! she thought sternly. I can daydream later right now I need to get out of here before anyone sees me and gets the wrong impression. Not that it would matter.

''Err, Hermione'' Ron said bringing her back to reality.

''Yes''

''I have to pee. So can you um...you know…''

''Right sorry'' she said grinning and left.

It took Ron twenty minutes to pee.

Lil had decided to take a drive and paint something before going to see Harry. Painting calmed her nerves and the fact that she was about to meet seven Weasley children and all of Harry's friends was a bit unnerving for her. Lil had been driving for a while and she didn't know exactly where she was. It wasn't until she had thought she had gotten lost when she found her next picture. Sitting in front of her was a lopsided house. It had a slanted front porch and rickety looking steps but in her eyes it was perfect. Backing up the car a reasonable distance she parked and began to get her painting things out of the trunk. Suddenly, Marie woke up and looked around.

''Where are we?'' she asked curiously.

''Dunno, but I'm about to paint and then we're going to the party'' she said as she changed into a dirty pair of shorts and a t-shirt.

''Can I play with Sirius while I wait?'' she asked getting out of her car seat.

''Fine, but stay where I can see you and don't go 'round the sides or back. Got it?'' she said sternly.

''Promise'' Marie said.

Setting up her stand and canvas Lil put on her headphones and began to paint the Burrow.

''SIRIUS…SIRIUS WHERE ARE YOU?'' Marie yelled looking for her beloved dog.

Marie had promised her mum that she would stay where she could see her but right now that promise was irrelevant to the fact that she had lost her dog. Marie was currently on the side of the house yelling when she saw a tall red headed man that reminded her of her dad but younger looking. She was simply looking at the back of the tall man when he turned around.

''Hi there'' he said upon discovering the little girl standing behind him.

''Hi'' she responded as she watched him look around to figure out where she came from.

''Have you seen my dog Mr.?'' she asked.

''Uh, my name's Ron and I haven't seen a dog anywhere around here'' he said still trying to figure out where the little girl came from.

''My name is Marie and my mommy is in the front drawing and if I don't get back soon she'll notice I'm gone and get upset.'' She explained

''So your mum is in the front of the house drawing'' he said skeptically

''She's painting a picture of your house actually and she has headphones on so she didn't hear or see me leave'' she further explained.

''Err, okay. I'll help you find your dog and then I'll take you back to your mommy, Okay?''

''Okay'' she said happily.

''Sooo, what's your dog's name?''

''Sirius'' she said.

Meanwhile…….

''Marie, come on sweetie. I'm finished'' Lil exclaimed happily but as she looked around she found that she was very much alone and that Marie and Sirius had wandered off.

''Where could they have gone? She probably followed him to make sure he didn't do anything stupid like the last time.'' She said out loud to herself.

The last time Lil had stopped at a house to do a painting Sirius had ended up tearing his way through the owner's yard looking for gnomes and chasing their cat until he had completely destroyed their yard. It was this thought that made her notice that said dog was coming from the side of the house holding a garden gnome in its mouth.

''SIRIUS!'' she exclaimed ''Where is Marie and put that thing down this instant!'' she said irritated that the dog was paying her absolutely no attention and was more intent on keeping the gnome within its grasp.

''Why you little…'' she started until she saw the front door of the house open.

''Hello dear, do you need some help?'' said the red headed woman.

She was somewhat plump and looked o be in her middle thirties. She gave Lil a feeling of safety that she hadn't felt in any other woman than Sister Mary.

''Um, hi. My name is Lil and I'm looking for a three year old little girl. She has auburn red hair and she answers by the name of Marie. Have you seen her around?'' she asked

''No dear, I can't say that I have but if you come inside I'm sure one of my sons has found her.''

''Oh no thanks. I'm…'' she started but was stopped as the woman came off of the porch and began to coach her into the house.

''Don't worry dear you're in the right place. My name is Molly Weasley I'm Ron's mother.'' She explained politely.

''Ohh'' Lil said as the facts dawned on her. Harry had told her about the Burrow but his description didn't do it any justice. ''I didn't know this was the Burrow. Harry only gave a modest description but in real life it's beautiful. You're Ginny's mother also right and you have six sons or was Harry joking?''

''Yes I am Ginny's mother and yes I do have six sons'' Molly said chuckling as she saw the awe on Lil's face. ''Now come on dear let's go and find little Marie.''

''Err okay'' Lil said nervously. ''Sirius you stay here and if Marie comes back you come get me okay?''

The dogs' response was to look at her imploringly and lay down next to the car with the gnome till in his grasp.

''Good boy'' she said and with that she followed Mrs. Weasley into the house.

Meanwhile …

''I still can't believe you let him sleep in your bed'' Harry said shaking his head.

After finding out about his tattoo Harry and Ginny had started to talk about Quidditch and somehow had ended up talking about Rajah.

''Oh come on. Look at him he's adorable and he was a gentleman about it.'' she said grinning.

''Which basically means that he sat on your windowsill and gradually edged his way into your room''

''Why would he do that? All he did was wake me up and ask me if it was okay to sleep in my room. When I said yes he said he wouldn't bother me and he slept on the floor.'' She said shrugging.

''What's wrong with the floor in here?'' Harry asked scandalized.

''It doesn't have a woman's touch and it smells'' Rajah said

''Hey it's not my room you know''

''Now, now you two it's neither of your faults but that doesn't mean you have to argue about sleeping arrangements…'' she said with a smile tugging at her lips.

'' … and neither is your death once mum comes to check on you'' she said smiling

''Huh?''

''Shirt'' she said pointing at his chest

''Oh right'' he said and went through his shirt drawer.

''Should I wear the baby blue or grey?'' he said switching between the two shirts.

''Baby blue'' Rajah and Ginny said together

As Harry slipped into a t-shirt and his baby blue Rajah spotted his snitch boxers and nudged them into Ginny's hand.

''Wow Harry I knew you were a hardcore Qiudditch fan but these…'' she said as she stood and watched in amusement as his expression quickly changed from confusion to embarrassment.

''Where did you…''

But at that same moment he saw Rajah looking under the bed and put two and two together.

''RAJAH!! What kind of help are you if you steal my stuff and hide it!?'' Harry said while angrily wondering what else the tiger had taken from him

''Aw leave him alone Harry I like them and besides its good luck when a protector gives you someone else's shorts. I think I'll keep them.''

''WHAT! Uh uh no way you're keeping my favorite boxers.'' he said as he lunged for her

''Please Harry'' she asked as she dodged him

''I'll trade you for a pair of my best knickers'' she said as he came upon her and she put the boxers behind her back

That should keep him from complaining

Indeed it seemed that Harry was in such deep thought that he had actually backed up with his face full of concentration. Ginny had just put her hand on the doorknob when…

''Oh no you don't'' Harry said as he tried to pounce on her. Normally Harry wouldn't have this much trouble thanks to his Quidditch reflexes but Ginny was just as skilled as him and a little smaller.

''Please Harry it would really mean a lot to me'' she said as she put on her best puppy dog look.

Not even mum can resist when I put it to its full potential!! She thought confidently

Indeed Ginny would have had him. To him she was a mirror of beauty; wearing her beautiful cream sundress that complimented her skin, her breasts peeking out of the dress just so, with her luscious pink lips sticking out and her beautiful brown eyes that Harry could have drowned in if she gave him the chance. But it was while Harry took in all of these features that he noticed that she was backed against the bed and he began to form a plan. Taking a deep breath and sagging his shoulders in defeat he said ''Fine''

''EEeeee'' she wailed and gave Harry a hug. It was at this exact moment that Harry threw them both onto the bed.

''HARRY YOU EVIL LITTLE PRICK GET OFF OF ME'' Ginny screamed as she kicked with all her might while trying to put the boxers in her dress.

''Just .. give me .. my …bloody boxers… and I'll let you go'' Harry said through gritted teeth as he tried to retrieve his underwear.

''GET YOUR HAND OFF OF MY BREAST THIS INSTANT'' she yelled

''My hand isn't on your breast but if you don't hand over the goods I'm gonna…OUCH!''

''Rajah pull him off!!'' Ginny exclaimed with glee mainly due to the fact that Rajah had bitten Harry square in the ass for threatening her.

''YOU PIECE OF SHIT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME NOT HER!!'' Harry yelled angrily as he struggled to get Rajah off of him and keep Ginny under him.

At that very moment Harry decided fair play was hell bent( seeing as it was two on one and Ginny's yelling would probably have all of the Weasleys up there and ready to kill him) so, acting completely on adrenaline and praying she didn't know how to do a wandless bat bogey hex, he wrapped his left arm up his waist and slid his right hand in her dress until…

''Harry'' Ginny said in her sweetest voice while clearly tensing underneath him.

''Yes Gin'' he answered back; his hand still moving upwards.

''What are you doing?''

''Well you said get my hand away from your breast so I thought I would have to actually get it there first'' he said with a smile in his voice.

''Why you perverted little…'' she said as she lifted up her upper body and immediately saw the mistake.

As soon as she had gotten up Harry had snaked his hand up to his boxers, caught hold of them, and began to pull them down. He thought he was home free until Ginny turned over on her back and smacked him so hard he thought she might have actually punched him.

''Get your hand out of my dress or my present to you will be showing you how to make a penis disappear'' she said in such a low voice that it scared him. But instead of listening to his conscience he did the unthinkable.

''As soon as I get my boxers I'll help you loosen up a bit, yeah?'' he said grinning

And no sooner had he said this had Ginny stuck her hand in his shorts and began to squeeze his cock so hard she made his worst erections seem meaningless.

''FUCK!!'' he yelled ''Okay, wait Gin just…DON'T.. AHH…STOP'' Harry yelled

At that exact moment Rajah stopped pulling and it wasn't until Harry heard a soft 'My goodness' that he turned around.

Standing in the door was not one but four angry Weasley males, their mother, and Lil whose expression was somewhere between shock and amusement. For a moment no one spoke and then…

MUM HE PUT HIS HAND UP MY DRESS

BUT SHE GRABBED MY PENIS AND

HE TRIED TO RAPE ME AND HE THREATENED ME

I DID NOT SHE TRIED TO STEAL MY UNDERWEAR

MUM

MRS. WEASLEY

YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE ME!! they finally yelled in unison.

Everyone was in shock to say the least. The twins were between laughing their asses off and giving Harry a stern thrashing; Charlie was utterly shocked and looked speechless while Bill merely shook his head. Mrs. Weasley's expression was grave she didn't know whether to laugh, cry, or yell at their antics. The room was quiet until Lil broke the silence.

''Wow you move fast'' she said sadly.

''What's that supposed to mean?'' Harry asked bewildered as he took his hand from Ginny's dress. ''Wait, Sister Mary isn't here is she?'' he asked as he tentatively tried to see past the Weasleys.

''No. And it means that as soon as I tell you I'm coming you try to break away by doing something stupid.'' she said as she crossed her arms.

''I do not'' he said casually. Lil simply clucked her tongue and put her hands on her hips.

''Lil I do not have commitment issues. Ginny is just my friend and..''

''So you put you hand up all of your friend's dresses?'' she asked angrily

''WHAT! Nooo, see what happened was Rajah took my favorite boxers and…''

''I have them'' Lil said cutting him off

''What?'' he said in disbelief

''The ones with the snitches all over them right? I have them right here'' she said as she conjured them from thin air. But before she could even touch them Rajah jumped out of nowhere, ran over to Ginny, and put the boxers in her hand making it glow a copper red.

''I hereby give Ginevra Molly Weasley these shorts for her property as good luck as appointed by myself, Rajah Percival Potter.''

By the time Rajah was done speaking the glow had disappeared but Harry knew there was no way he could get his boxers back now.

''Wait a minute. You mean to tell me that you two have been fighting over that pair of boxers this whole time and he didn't even bless them because he knew they were a fake'' she said exasperated.

''Rajah you bad boy'' Ginny said sternly.

''I just wanted to give you something nice'' he said lowering his head.

''Aww that's okay next time you can just get me flowers'' she said patting him on the head

''Oh good then 'cause you're going to love this'' he said as he went under Harry's bed and pulled out a tray of red and yellow flowers that read I ♥ Ginevra . Harry simply stood in place, his feet seemingly glued to the floor. He couldn't believe Rajah had made that for Ginny. Well if he was honest with himself he could believe it but he couldn't figure out why Rajah had stashed it underneath his bed. Harry looked up to see Ginny's expression and was surprised to see she was crying.

''Gin, are you okay?'' he asked

''I'm fine it's just' she said as tears flowed down her cheeks 'this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me.''

And with that she bent over and hugged and kissed Rajah. Harry didn't know what to be more amazed at. The fact that she was kissing a tiger three times her size or the fact that she was openly crying. It would have been a touching moment if Lil hadn't spoken.

''Rajah no'' she said in a stern voice.

''What's the matter he only…'' but Harry stopped mid sentence as he understood what Lil was saying no to.

''Rajah she can't be your girlfriend!'' he said angrily

But as soon as he said it he wished that he hadn't because instead of listening to him the protector moved in front of Ginny and got into his fighting stance.

''Sirius''

And within two seconds there was a blur of orange and black as the two animals fought, biting and clawing at each other. Harry wasn't even sure where the dog had come from and was unsure of what to do about the two animals. It wasn't until Rajah threw Sirius across the room that Lil hopped on his back trying to grab his collar.

''NO'' Rajah roared angrily as he rolled over and bit the red head in the arm.

''Ouch!'' she yelled as she used her extra hand to pry his jaws open

''Lil his collar'' Harry yelled in shock. Stunned everyone watched as the collar changed from blue to ruby red.

Rajah decided to let go of Lil gingerly and sat with his chest puffed out his so that everyone could read his tag. Harry crossed the room in what seemed like one stride and nearly passed out when he read the name on Rajah's new tag. Written in her own neat handwriting upon the 14k gold was Ginny's name.

''Hey Lil if Ginny is his new girlfriend how come only her name shows'' Harry asked somewhat relieved and confused.

''If only her name shows up that means that…''

''she too is now partial owner and under my protective care'' Rajah finished.

''RAJAH! GET OVER HERE RIGHT NOW!!'' Ginny yelled

Harry watched as the animal crawled his way over to Ginny, the pride that was there a few seconds ago had vanished and was replaced by fear.

''Rajah, do you mean to tell me that you did all of this just so you could protect me?'' she seethed

''Ginny dear I'm sure he didn't mean any harm'' Mrs. Weasley tried to state; if not because she believed it but mainly because she wanted to keep her daughter calm and she could hear guests arriving downstairs and in the garden.

''Maybe I should have went about it differently'' he said tentatively ''I would have, honest , but I didn't think that she would come early and I was going to ask but she would have thought I was trying to enslave you as my human wife or something'' he said hurriedly

''What does he mean by enslaved human wife?'' Charlie and Bill asked in unison

''It means that once upon a time I thought I was in love with a red head girl about Ginny's age now and I made the mistake of asking her to marry me and ever since Lil found out she's been down my back'' he said in an annoyed tone

''Wait, so you have a wife'' Fred started

''and you're crushing on our sister?'' finished George

''I almost had a wife and I'm not the one crushing on your sister'' he said ''I also wasn't the one with my hand up her dress'' he added in an undertone

''HEY'' Harry exclaimed.

''Yes well as interesting as its going to be to find out whose fault it is I have to…''

CRACK!

Everyone froze and turned their attention to the middle of the room. Standing in the middle of the room was Hermione. Her eyes were red, her cheeks were streaked with tears, and she looked as if she were going to have an episode.

''Hermione what happened is someone hurt?'' Harry asked hurriedly

She merely shook her head and sat down on Ron's bed. At this Ginny got up and sat down next to her rubbing her back soothingly.

''What's wrong Hermione?'' she asked sadly

''I can't find Ron'' she wailed
