Chapter 4.

Harry smiled and Hermione extended her hand and Harry took it, she walked them over to where people were dancing. The two began to dance and Hermione drew Harry closer and they began to laugh.

George looked at his brothers, "well, Harry's certainly become a better dancer since the ball."

Meanwhile at the burrow, Fleur thought about how lucky it was Molly had the potions ingredient's stocked. Fleur walked over to a cabinet and pulled out ground scarab beetles and armadillo bile but couldn't find the ginger root, she knelt down to look deeper into the cupboard. While Fleur searched, Ginny began to stir.

Back at the three broomsticks, Hermione and Harry were dancing quite close. The music stopped and Hermione smiled, "thanks for the dance Harry."

Hermione smiled and walked back over to the ladies while swaying her hips. Harry couldn't keep his eyes off of her. He went back over to the table and looked to the Weasley brothers, seeing they were all giving him a look.

"What?" Harry said confused.

Bill smiled, "looks like you were having a fun time, despite being currently in a relationship with our baby sister."

George smiled, "yes, imagine what her reaction would be like." Harry paled and Charlie smiled as he too had caught on to what his brothers were doing. "Any other brothers would beat you up, but we can look the other way if you say, buy the next round?"

Harry smiled and reached into his pocket and Bill whispered over to Charlie, "We are only messing with Harry. You know if we told Ginny, we would get an earful too."

Charlie smiled, "I know, but this way we can have a little more fun." Bill looked to his brother, "Charlie Weasley, you sly dog, next one's on you for this." Charlie nodded and they looked to Harry who threw a couple galleon on to the table.

Hermione took her seat back next to Luna and she couldn't help but smile.

"Someone had a good time," Luna said smiling. Hannah giggled, "Yes some could say you two were dancing rather close for just being friends." Susan tried not to laugh, but her eyes watered as she broke into laughter.

Hermione smiled and looked to others, "it was brilliant but I still don't know if I should go for it. Ginny and I are friends and I want them to be happy, but dancing with Harry was…"

Susan smiled seeing Hermione so cheerful and she said, "Brilliant?"

Hermione nodded and Luna smiled. "Well then, someone just needs to find her courage which means she needs a drink." Hermione blushed and shook her head and Hannah laughed, "oh yes the brains of the golden trio is having a drink tonight." Before Hermione could protest, Hannah got up and ran over to the bar.

At the Burrow, Ginny awoke to the sounds coming from the kitchen. She rose up and saw Fleur brewing something in the cauldron. Seeing the Veela was distracted, Ginny got up quietly and grabbed her jacket and went out the door.

After finishing the hang over cure, Fleur walked into the living room to check on Ginny. She turned to the couch only to see it was empty and that Ginny's jacket was gone. Fleur became nervous and wished Bill had taken a communication mirror.

Fleur quickly pulled out her wand and ran out the door of the burrow, but not before locking it and apparated to the Three Broomsticks.

Ginny arrived outside the village and looked for the Three Broomsticks.

Fleur arrived outside the bar and walked in, she saw Bill and rushed over to the boy's table. Bill saw Fleur and stood up "Fleur what are you doing here? You're supposed to make sure Ginny stays at the Burrow."

Fleur looked to Bill apologetic "Bill, I'm so sorry. I tried but she figured it out and I 'it 'er with a sleeping charm but she woke and is making 'er way 'ere."

Bill paled and before anyone could say anything, Ginny opened the door and walked in. She looked around the room and saw the boys and Harry and walked over to the table fuming.

She looked at Harry and saw the empty bottles, "JUST WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING HARRY!" Harry looked up and saw Ginny and he paled "Ginny, I, i'm just having a night out with the boys."

"OH, SO MY BROTHERS CAN SPEND TIME WITH YOU BUT NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS I'M SPENDING MY TIME OFF FROM THE TEAM TO SEE YOU BUT YOU WON'T TALK TO ME AND I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SULK ABOUT YOUR PARENT'S ANNIVERSARY BUT INSTEAD YOUR GETTING DRUNK WITH MY BROTHERS, GREAT WAY TO SPEND IT."

Harry frowned feeling shame and looking to the floor while everyone in the bar was watching. Bill looked to Ginny "Ginny, I don't think this is the proper place to discuss-" Ginny glared at Bill "STAY OUT OF THIS BILL!" Ginny turned her eyes back at Harry, "HARRY DID YOU FORGET YOUR PARENT'S DIED TODAY PROTECTING THEIR ONLY SON FROM VOLDEMORT? SOME SON YOU ARE, GETTING DRUNK."

Harry's eyes grew wide and the whole bar gasped. To Harry, Ginny's words had stung worse than a slap in the face. Hannah and Susan were shocked and Luna threw a hand over her mouth and looked at Hermione. Hermione was glaring and her hands clenched so tight her knuckles were white. Hermione stood up and Luna looked at her, "what are you going to do."

Hermione turned towards Luna, "What Ginny is doing is just cruel and spiteful. Friend or no friend, I'm ending this."

Hermione began walking over to where the couple were. Hannah looked at Susan and Luna, "have either of you seen Hermione so angry before?" Both girls shook their head no.

Harry lifted his head "Ginny, I-." Ginny glared at Harry, "I don't want to hear it Harry now were going to go back your place and talk. Say goodnight to my brothers."

Ginny was about to grab Harry only to have someone grab her wrist. Ginny turned to see Hermione glaring at her. "He won't be going anywhere with you tonight."

"Did it ever occur to you that Harry knows exactly what today is and that's why he is getting drunk? Did it ever occur to you that yelling at him and making him feel even MORE guilty over his parent's death might not be the best thing to do to someone YOU SAY YOU CARE ABOUT? He's not an accessory you get to hang on your arm and parade about! He's a living, thinking, feeling human being and I'm not going to let a little bitch like you make what is already the unhappiest day of the year for him even worse!"
