Chapter 14: Awkward silences and Beds
A/N: one of my longest chapters woo
Harry and Ginny got dressed in the same clothes they had worn the day before (Kreacher had obviously washed them). They had breakfast, then apparated to the Burrow, before they went, though, Harry had said to Ginny "I bet Ron and Hermione have been up to stuff while we've not been there," to which Ginny simply laughed.
As they entered the kitchen Mrs. Weasley squealed "oh thank goodness you're back, I was worried sick. Did Kreacher treat you well?"
"Yes, he's nice these days," Ginny told her mum, "now if you don't mind I need to send a letter to someone." Harry followed Ginny up the stairs while questioning her who she was writing to.
"I'm writing to McGonagall to see if she'll let us have a double bed."
Ron was perfectly normal until Harry kissed Ginny in front of him, then he went sulky again. It wasn't till Hermione returned from seeing her parents that he went back to normal and then he and Hermione disappeared up the stairs.
"He is such a hypocrite," Ginny said in an agitated way.
"The thing that'll annoy him most of all is when, after we're marred, we have kids and he finally realizes what we've been doing.
"Yeah, I'd love to face then." They had then both realized what they had both said and gone into an awkward silence.
Harry had begun to think about his future with Ginny. Sooner or later they would have to do it. He realized on one day that he would have to ask Ginny something.
"Ginny, this is kind of awkward, ha-have you lost y-your, uh-"
"My virginity? I knew you were going to ask that, no, I haven't. I know it kind of sounds sad but I was saving myself for you just in case you ever fell in love with me, which you did."
"You know I have mine, the only relationship I ever had was with Cho and that was well, well that was kind of weird."
The couple of days that followed that conversation were awkward. Harry and Ginny still did their couple things but if one brought up the future that was quickly followed by a silence. It wasn't till a week before term began that the silences stopped. Ginny had received a letter form McGonagall.
To Miss Weasley,
I have considered your request and have come to a decision, you and Mr. Potter may share a bed whenever you want but I ask that you stay in separate dormitories so that no one else starts wanting to share beds. Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, and Miss Granger will be sharing a dormitory with two other returning Gryffindors and they will all have double beds. You may share Mr. Potter's bed but do not move in please.
Yours sincerely,
Minerva McGonagall, Headmistress of Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry
As soon as Ginny had received the letter she had showed it to Harry, she was ecstatic. At one point Ron asked what Ginny was so perky about, so Ginny showed him the letter.
"What?! You two are not going to share a bed!!"
"Watch us!" Ginny shouted back at him before hexing him.
"Ginny, get it off!"
"No, not until you accept that there is nothing you can do to stop Harry and me from being in love!"
"I'll get Hermione to do it."
"Shame, isn't it, Harry, that Hermione is out visiting her parents again."
"Yes, oh well, see you later, Ron," they both walked out the room leaving Ron to feel the wrath of one of Ginny's excellent Bat Bogey Hexes.
