-Ch 4-

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. Ginny was away with Fleur, doing wedding things while Harry and Ron helped Mrs. Weasley doing chores around the house. Harry had a feeling that Mrs. Weasley was waiting to later to ask him why he came so early. The Order was suppose to pick him up a few days before the wedding. Instead he came over a week early.

Harry also kept thinking about Ginny watching him outside. He had had a feeling that someone was watching him but he brushed it off as Mrs. Weasley looking in on them. But weeding the garden also let him think about what Ginny had said earlier. 'There's a reason why I suggested Percy's room. … It's private… below mine… If I get caught, all I have to say is that I'm on the way to the loo.' Is she coming down to my room tonight? And if so what does she expect. I don't think we should take such a big step, not before I have to leave. Not with everything going on. I'll have to talk to her.

Harry and Ginny didn't see each other until dinner that night. Ginny was sitting across from Harry, and Ron was sitting next to Ginny. Ron still kept his eye on Ginny and Harry. But mostly though it was because Ron knew his sister, she didn't give up that easily. If Ginny wanted something, she usually got it. And he knew that Ginny had wanted Harry for a long time. He was wondering what tricks Ginny had up her sleeve, to try and get Harry back.

Ginny had been trying to catch Harry's eye all night. She needed to tell him that she'd try and get down to his room that night, after everyone went to bed. I hope he realizes why I want to come to his room. I just want to pick up where we left off this morning. I don't think he'd expect more than that. Especially with everything else he has to do. Of course I didn't think Michael or Dean expected more than I was willing to give either. After all Harry is a normal teenage boy. But I don't think he'd do that to me. I hope, Ginny worried to herself.

All she had to do was whisper it to Harry. But she couldn't do a dam thing with Ron watching her every move, and her mother and others all around them. Looks like Ron's suspicion is onto me now. Great, now how am I supposed to get Harry's attention?

Then as if the gods were answering her prayers, her father came home, and everyone was distracted for a moment. Her mum was fixing him a plate to eat, and her brothers were greeting her dad. Ginny leaned over to Harry and whispered "I'll be down after eleven tonight, that's when Mum and Dad go to bed." Then she just had to tease him just a little bit, so she added "I like how the garden looks Harry. It was awfully hot out there wasn't it?" She then gave him a quick wink, before putting on a sweet and innocent smile, as she asked her father how his day had went.

No one had seen the exchange except that Fleur saw the wink Ginny gave Harry, and Harry turning beet red. You could swear that girl 'as Veela blood in her, Fleur said to her self, shaking her head.

While Mrs. Weasley was cleaning up from dinner, there was a knock on the door. Everyone went silent immediately. Harry saw both Mr. Weasley and Bill pull out their wands as they moved toward the door. Harry did the same, and he vaguely saw Ginny pull hers out underneath the table, ready to defend her family and the man she loved, if she had too. Harry smiled for a moment at this. Ginny must really love me if she's willing to defend me like that.

"Who there?" barked Mr. Weasley.

"It's Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks. Oomph! What was that for?"

"It's Tonks or Dora!"

"Sorry, it's Remus Lupin and Tonks. Happy?"

"Yes."

"Prove it," barked Bill.

"Yes prove it," Agreed Mr. Weasley. "What did Tonks always trip over at headquarters?"

"Oh, I know this one. I always tripped over that dam umbrella stand shaped like a troll leg."

"Okay Remus," asked Mr. Weasley. "What creature tried to lock us in wardrobe the first time we were at headquarters?"

"Pixies wasn't it; tried to bite my finger off."

"Sorry, about that, had to be sure." Said Mr. Weasley as he opened the door and let the two in. Harry was happy to see that Tonks' hair was bubblegum pink, and she was holding hands with Lupin. They both looked very happy. Whatever happened between the two, they must have worked it out.

"Quite all right Arthur," said Lupin. "Harry, I'm glad to see you're safe, had us quite worried when you disappeared on us this morning. Good thing Molly was fire calling Dora at the time you came, and told us you were here.

"Yeah, glad to see you too Lupin, Hi Tonks."

"Wotcher Harry."

"Come sit, we were about to have treacle tart and tea," Mrs. Weasley said. Soon everyone was supplied with mugs of hot tea and big piles of treacle tar, which was Harry's favorite. Everyone was sitting around laughing and talking. But soon the conversation turned towards Harry.

"So Harry," asked Remus. "Is there a reason why you came to the Burrow, before you were supposed to?"

Harry knew that eventually they would get around to this question. He just looked down at his plate of treacle tar, and started to push some crumbs around. Anything so he wouldn't look someone in the eye.

"Yeah there's a reason," Said Harry, trying to delay the out burst that he knew would follow his news. "They kicked me out."

"WHAT!" Cried Mrs. Weasley and Ginny at the same time. Ginny leapt up from the table, and Mrs. Weasley was fuming, pacing around the kitchen. "Why the bloody hell did they kick you out?!" shouted Ginny.

"Ginerva Molly Weasley, watch your mouth," scolded Mrs. Weasley.

"Sorry Mum," replied Ginny as she sat back down. I shouldn't have acted like that. Ron's suspicious already, and Fleur knows something's up. She's not that stupid. Don't need somebody else suspecting that something's going on between Harry and me, thought Ginny.

"Harry," asked Lupin. "Why'd they kick you out?"

"Don't know, finally just got rid of me. I guess they got sick of me."

"Is that the only reason Harry?" asked Tonks.

"Err. Said something about me being too dangerous." Harry said with his hands in his lap. He didn't look up at anyone. Ginny could tell there was more to this, and thought she'd have to ask him later that night.

"What, that's ridiculous," Cried Mrs. Weasley. "You wouldn't hurt a fly! I have half a mind to march over to those muggles, and give them a piece of my mind. The nerve of them, too throw you out of your own home. And there suppose to be family . I can't believe it." Ranted Molly, "I should send them a good long Howler and scare the daylights out of them. 'Too dangerous', please! I'll show them whose Dangerous."

"Now, now, Molly, calm down. That's not going to do anything but cause trouble," replied Remus. "The good thing is that Harry came here, and that he's safe. He left while still being protected, so he's still perfectly safe.

"You're right of course Remus. I just got upset. I'm glad you came right here Harry. It's a lot safer here then with those… muggles." Mrs. Weasley said with a grim smile as she said muggle.

"You're quite right Molly dear. Were all glad Harry's here."

"Yes glad you're safe, had us worried Harry," Said Remus.

"I'm sorry, didn't mean to make anyone worry." Harry replied looking up. He was surprised by Mrs. Weasley's outburst. Is this how my own Mum would react to something like this? It's kind of nice to have someone who cares so much about me. Harry thought as he looked at Mrs. Weasley. She gave him a motherly smile and he smiled in return. I would like to see her send a howler. Love to see her shake down the Dursley's. They'd probably faint from fear. Pay money to see that.

"Oh dear, look at the time. You lot should get off to bed. And Harry, you must be exhausted from traveling all the way here. How'd you get here anyway?"

"Took the Knight Bus to Ottery St. Catchpole, and flew most the way here."

"You flew! You must be tired. And to think I had put you to work this morning. I feel terrible. Alright you three, up to bed, now," demanded Mrs. Weasley.

"We should head out too, Molly," Tonks said. "It's getting late, and we've got plans tonight, don't we Remey." She added softly to Remus but everyone heard it. Remus blushed and Harry gave a shudder as to think of Remus' and Tonks' private life. Ron leaned over and whispered "Yeah like I need that mental picture, right before I go to bed." Then he yawned very loudly.

"Yeah we'll head up to bed too Mum. Thanks for letting us stay here while our flat de-fumes." Said one of the twins, then they slunk up the stairs. Harry, Lupin, and Tonks all looked confused. "De-fumes? What happened to their flat above the shop?" asked Tonks.

"Proto-type of a stink bomb exploded in the heat at their shop. No damage was done since it was in an extra room of their flat, but the smells horrible. They've finally been able to re-open the shop just today," replied Mr. Weasley. "There lucky they weren't there when it happened, or we'd still be able to smell it. It's magic proof. No cleaning charms will work. They just have to clean it off the muggle way."

"Oh that sucks," Said Harry as he tried to hide a yawn.

"Off to bed you three. Now!" demanded Mrs. Weasley, as she shooed them upstairs.

Ron, Harry and Ginny all trudged up the stairs to their respected rooms. Ron being too tired forgot to be suspicious, almost. "Right," he yawned. "Good night Harry. Ginny." He said as he left Harry and Ginny alone in front of Harry's room door.

"I'll be down after Mum checks in on all of us. Should be after eleven." Ginny said quietly, trying to suppress a yawn. So, think you can wait that long Potter." She added saucily as she gave him a wink and blew him a kiss.

"Gin, you coming?" Called Ron from the floor above, seems he was waiting for Ginny, by her room.

"Yeah Ron, just saying night to Harry," She replied.

"That better be all you doing." He told her

"Ginny just rolled her eyes. "Good night Harry." She said, gave him a wink and blew him another kiss. Then she sashayed up the stairs. Harry watched her, go. Her hair moving and that perfect arse swaying up the stairs. Harry thought he heard a small giggle as he groaned and turned into his room. "Tease, nothing but a tease," He muttered to himself.
