Okay again not a long chapter, but I wanted to get this one out for everyone : ) The next chapter might take a little bit for me to write since I want that one to be one of the best. So bare with me please. I'll shut up and let you keep reading : )
Harry woke the next morning from a crazy dream. This particular dream included a particular red-head. He looked at the clock it was early and Ron was still passed out on his bed. He reached for his glasses, but remembered he was now seventeen.
"Accio glasses." He snorted when they landed in his awaiting hand. Looking around his room he felt different, but yet not. Deciding he was completely mental got up from his warm bed a stretched. Knowing his mother would disapprove of what he was wearing, his boxers, he grabbed the closest t-shirt to him, which of course was dirty. Making his way down to the kitchen he heard laughing. Upon walking into the kitchen everyone suddenly stopped and averted their eyes away from him, which he thought was odd. Lily vacated the chair she was sitting in and put a smile on her face.
"Harry, Happy Birthday." He knew something was up.
"Thanks mum." Knowing his father got up around the same time as his mother, looked around for him, "Where's dad?" She sighed, he knew what it was before she even had time to say it,
"The office called him really early this morning, he said to tell he was sorry and would try to get home as soon as possible." He nodded his head, his father was always away with work. But he assumed being an Auror entailed that. His father had missed many things that Harry had wished he was there for. One included his very first quidditch match, where he caught the snitch in record time, and for being a first year was quite a feat. Sirius had even made it.
"It's fine, I understand." The room suddenly grew quiet, the joke Sirius was telling the girls was obviously not important anymore. He went to the cupboard and grabbed a bowl and filled it with cereal. He sat down in the only available seat, next to Ginny. He didn't want her to see him upset about something this stupid, but she smiled at him making him smile back.
The rest of the day seemed to go by slow and rather boring. Soon it was almost time for dinner, and the rest of the Weasley's arrived, with Bill's new girlfriend. Harry had met her only once before and that was only because his parents were friends with hers. But before dinner had actually started they all herd a rushing from the living room Lily who had been on edge all day, which she always was when James was away on a case, had froze when she herd the noise come near the kitchen. But it was James who had come bolting into the kitchen,
"James! You about gave me heart failure. I thought something was wrong!" Lily looked absolutely livid.
"Sorry Lils, had to make it to my only sons seventeenth birthday didn't I?" She rolled her eyes and said under her breath, 'Yes, but that's no reason to come in here like a deranged animal.' James looked around and said his hello's to everyone in the room. He finally got to Harry and said in a hush tone, "Sorry about today."
"It's completely fine. I'm just glad you got to make it." James smiled to his son.
"So, when's dinner?"
After hours of eating and talking Harry finally got to make it upstairs. He was in fact still a bit upset about his father not being their all day, but he was at dinner nonetheless. He was making his way to Ron and his bedroom when Ginny came out of the bathroom with a big smile on her face. She looked up to find Harry staring at her. She felt quite self-conscious again being around him, which was happening a lot lately. She was in a pair of shorts and were feeling to short at the moment and a tank top. But she had to ask him a question and she thought that probably by tomorrow she would not be able to ask him,
"Um- about tomorrow," Harry thought Great, she's gonna say she doesn't want to go. Perfect. "This is going to sound dumb and stupid but- where are we going? I just don't know what to-" She looked around the hallway feeling stupid. "I just don't know what to wear." She said it fast hoping he would catch what she said. He sighed, obviously relieved, which Ginny didn't miss.
"Uh- just wear normal clothes I guess." He too felt awkwardly stupid about the situation. He didn't want to look like he was looking her up and down but it was hard in what she was wearing.
"Sorry, I just didn't know." He shook his head at it. They both turned to go to their rooms, when Ginny turned, "Harry, you didn't think I was going to back out of our plans did you?" He looked surprised at her question. Did it look that obvious?
"No, how could anyone resist this?" He pointed to himself while she rolled her eyes, "Night Gin." He smiled,
"Night Harry."
At the beginning I know Harry probably wouldn't get mad that his dad wasn't there for his birthday, but I wanted to show that Harry did have a small litle grudge with his father's work, the story will explain in time (like the next chapter) Okay well, keep an eye out for the next one, it's there date night, and it will be a long one (both Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione's "date's" in one chapter ; ) For now I'm OVER and OUT! ( Oh I would like to give a special thanks to "xx Annabella Princess xx" and "FREDDAWEASLEY" for their GREAT GREAT reviews : D)
