AND NOW, THE LONG AWAITED 4TH CHAPTER!!!
Recap: "No, Ginny, y-you'll pay for th-that V-Voldemort, you w-will pay!" Harry screamed through his choking sobs. Although, when he looked up, Voldemort was nowhere to be seen. It was just Ginny barely breathing, motionless body and Harry. No death eaters, no nothing. That's when his eyes shot open.
"What the bloody Hell does that mean?" He whispered to himself at the same time as Ginny up in her room.
Chapter 4: Dumbledore, can you explain this to us? Hermione comes, Diagon Alley visit, and Hogwarts Express
Within about fifteen minutes the two teenagers had fallen asleep once again. Only to be awoken by the sound of a knock on their front door.
Ron, Ginny, and Harry all got up to go to the door, Harry got there first seeing as he was in the living room. Ginny and Ron were surprised to see him up and walking, much less awake. They both gave him a skeptical look.
"Yeah, I know I'm up and a little better to where I can walk, I had a nightmare." He said, nervously.
"You did?" Ginny asked. Ron was still looking surprised about Harry up and walking around after his horrible attack.
After about five minutes, their silence was cut short by the knock again, only louder and more urgent. They snapped out of their trances and opened the door, only more skeptical that before to see Dumbledore standing there. Then it all came back, Ron had written a letter to Dumbledore asking him to come help with Harry.
"What are you doing here, Professor?" Harry asked a little unsure if this was a dream or not.
"Harry, Ron sent me a letter telling me that something was wrong with you." The professor replied.
"Oh yes, Professor, we wanted to know what had happened to Harry." Ron and Ginny answered at the same time.
"Well, it looks to me that Harry was attacked." Dumbledore said dully.
"Nah, you think we didn't figure that out yet, Dumbledore?" Ron asked sarcastically.
"Ok, anyway, can you tell us what happened Harry?" Professor Dumbledore asked him, looking him straight in the eye.
"Well, ok." Harry told them his story about his attack and everything, from the moment he heard the door slam open and shut to when he had collapsed in the doorway at the Burrow. "And that is what happened." He concluded.
"Oh my god, Harry, I'm so sorry." Ginny told Harry with sympathy, pity, and compassion in her voice.
"No, Gin, it's ok, I've survived worse, I'm just glad he didn't come after you guys first." Harry told them.
"That doesn't matter, Harry, your our friend." Ron reassured Harry.
~*~*~*~*~*~Later that day~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nobody was really doing anything, or at least not physically, they were all caught up in their thoughts. Ginny thinking about Harry, Harry thinking about Ginny, and Ron thinking about Hermione, when once again they were disturbed from their thoughts to a knock on the door.
Ginny got up to get the door. There was a squeal and another squeal; both of them were a girl's squeals.
"Hermione, I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow." Ginny announced from the doorway, which wasn't visible to the boys.
Ron had already jumped up and ran over to the door to greet his best friend, Hermione Granger, of course he didn't know that soon they would become more thane just friends. Harry looked around the living room to just in time to see Ron's shoe go out the door into the den area.
"Hello, H-h-h-h-Hermione." Ron stuttered at the site of her, she wasn't the girl he saw before school had let out, she had grown just like Ginny, but Ron didn't look at Ginny that way. He just stared at Hermione with his eyes nearly boggling out of his head.
"Hey, Hermione, been a while, huh?" Harry told her wit ha smile on his face, it was good to be with all the people he liked to call a family, with the exceptions of the other Weasley's, considering Fred, George, Percy, Charlie, and Bill all had their own flats now and Fred and George were running their joke shop, Weasley Wizard Wheezes, in Diagon Alley.
"By the way Ron and Ginny, where are your parents?" Hermione asked.
"Oh, they are on a "second honeymoon" or something like that." Ron said, still staring at Hermione.
"Yup, they are in America." Ginny specified what Ron had said for Hermione.
"Ah, I see, Harry why are you here?" She asked, desperately wanting to know.
Harry didn't hear her answer, he was too busy staring at Ginny, she was wearing her cherry pajama shirt, the midriff one, and some blue jean short shorts, her red curls framed her face just perfectly, and her warm, chocolate, brown eyes were gorgeous. 'Why haven't I seen her like this before, damn she is hott!' He though to himself, mentally smiling, 'Wait a minute am I falling in love with Ron's little sister Ginny? The one I saved in our second year from Voldemort's powers? Fifteen year old Ginny?' And that is when he came out of his trance and back into the real world.
"What was that Hermione?" Harry asked. Turning towards her.
"I said, Harry why are you here?" She asked once again, this time becoming a little bit impatient with Harry.
"Oh, that." He replied glumly. (A/N: Is glumly a word, if it isn't then it is now, O.K.? Well, back to the Harry Potter story! Lol.) Then he told her the story.
"Sheesh Harry, you have been through too much in your life time. I am so sorry!" Hermione exclaimed; a little bit frightened from Harry's story.
"It's O.K. Hermione and I'm glad it happened because then I would still be at the bloody Dursley's." Harry explained, and all four of them shared a laugh.
~*~*~*~*~At noon-time~*~*~*~*~
"Hey, kids we're home." Mr. And Mrs. Weasley called after two loud pops were heard from the kitchen.
"Hey Mom and Dad." Ginny and Ron replied to the call from their parents. "Hey Mr. and Mrs. Weasley." Harry and Hermione said to Ron and Ginny's parents.
"Hello dears." They both called, Mrs. Weasley enveloping Harry and Hermione in a great big bone-crushing hug.
"Harry, why are you here?" Mr. Weasley asked, inquisitively.
"Um.Err.Well, Dumbledore said I could come, but he didn't know you weren't home and I didn't want to go back to the Dursley's house so I just stayed here, I got here two days ago." He replied to Mr. Weasley's question.
"Oh, alright, you kids have fun and we'll take you to Diagon Alley in a couple of hours."
"Good save Harry!" Ginny and Ron complimented. (A/n: They already got their Hogwarts letters, by the way. Lol. I just thought you might want to know that.)
~*~*~*~*~Later that day at Diagon Alley~*~*~*~*~*~
"Ok, Harry and Ginny go in a group, Ron and Hermione go in a group, and your father and I will meet you back here in a little while." Mrs. Weasley informed the teenagers.
"Yes, ma'am." They all replied to her demands.
~*~*~*~*~At Gringotts~*~*~*~*~
Harry and Ginny went in one cart, while Ron and Hermione went in another, to their vaults to get some money.
~*~*~*~*~*~Ginny and Harry~*~*~*~*~
They stopped by Ginny's vault first, she gave her key to the goblin and he opened up her vault, she had a pretty big pile of money, considering that they were the Weasley's. She took a couple of handfuls of knuts, a couple handfuls of sickles, and just one handful of galleons.
She got back into the cart and they were off to Harry's vault, when they got there it was Harry's turn to give the goblin his key and get some money from his vault. When the vault opened Ginny gasped at how much money was in it. It was a lot, she had never seen Harry's vault before, and he quickly grabbed two handfuls of galleons, three handfuls of knuts, and a couple handfuls of sickles and quickly got back into the cart and left Gringotts.
Next they went to Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, Harry needed new robes and Ginny didn't mind going in with him either.
While Harry was changing, Ginny was admiring a pair of robes that were silk, white, and the edges had cherries on the, they were so beautiful. Ginny was so caught up in the robes that she didn't notice that Harry had finished trying on his robes already. Harry went up to Madam Malkin at the front desk.
"Can I help you, Mr. Potter?" She asked.
"Yes do you see that girl over there, looking at the white, silk, cherry embroidered dress robes, can you have those sent to Hogwarts on September 29 at midnight?" He asked with a pleading look in his eye. (A/N: Since nobody knows when Ginny's real birthday is I'm making it September 30th in this fan fic. Lol. Thanks, and back to the story.)
"Yes, of course Mr. Potter, sir, yes, of course." She announced to him, in a lower voice.
"Thanks a bunch, Madam Malkin." Harry said turning around and going to retrieve Ginny.
"Come on Ginny, we've got to go now." Harry called to her.
She looked up with a sad glint in her eyes, but they were soon gone when Harry grabbed her by the hand and pulled her out of the store.
Harry and Ginny bought their books and other supplies and Harry also got her an owl for her birthday as well.
When they were finished they went off to the ice cream parlor. (A/N: I can't think of the name of it right now, if one of you guys tell me in a review or e-mail that would be great and I would gladly fix this part.)
~*~*~*~*~Ron and Hermione~*~*~*~*~
Ron and Hermione arrived at Hermione's vault first and she gave the goblin her key to unlock her vault so she could get some money. The door opened and she had about the same amount of money as the Weasley's did. She grabbed some galleons, knuts, and sickles and she quickly got back in the cart.
Next they arrived a Ron's vault and he got to have fun digging through his pockets for the key. When he got it out, he handed it over to the goblin so he could get some money. When his vault was opened, he ran in, got some money, and came back out, because he didn't want Hermione to see exactly how small his pile of wizard money was.
After they left Gringotts they went to the bookshop so they could buy their schoolbooks. When they were walking there, Ron absentmindedly put his arm around Hermione's shoulder, and leaned her into him, and she started to blush furiously, they walked like that for five minutes until he finally realized what he was doing and he quickly let go of her as if she was on fire. Hermione felt a little sad that he had done that, she also kind of felt safe in Ron's arms, but she was also a little glad because she didn't want to make a scene out of it or anything.
They bought their books and went to the ice cream parlor. (A/N: Hermione and Ron don't need any new robes, Ron got hand-me-downs and Hermione could still fit hers from the year before.)
~*~*~*~All of them together now~*~*~*~*~
"Harry, Ginny, how are you guys?" They called out at the same time; Harry and Ginny had just gotten in line to order some ice cream when Ron and Hermione walked in the parlor.
They waved them over and they got in line with Harry and Ginny. Then, when it was their turn, they ordered their ice cream.
The sat down in a booth in a corner, so that they could talk and no one would bother them while they were talking, someone like Draco Malfoy.
When they had finished their ice cream, they left the parlor to go meet Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in front of Gringotts, where they had negotiated to meet before. When they got there, they went to The Three Broomsticks and flooed home.
~*~*~*~At the Burrow~*~*~*~*~
"Haha, Checkmate!" Ron yelled, beating Harry at chess once again, Harry had never ever beaten Ron at chess before, he wanted to desperately, but he just wasn't that great at chess, he was a seeker after all, Quidditch was his game to play.
"Hey, Harry want to go play a game of Quidditch before dinner?" Ron asked Harry.
"Yea, sure, I'd love to." Harry replied with a smile on his face, Ron had obviously noticed that Harry was kind of bored of so many chess games.
So they got their brooms and went outside to play, but when the got there they noticed that somebody else was there but they couldn't make out whom it was. Until she slowed down of course, because before she did there was only a blur of red and white. When she slowed down and threw some type of "quaffle" into a ring that was on the pitch. When Harry saw who it was he was very impressed, he could use a chaser on the team like that. She was really good at Quidditch and would be great on the team seeing as every spot needed to be filled because all the others graduated the year before. (A/N: I know that Oliver Wood graduated the year before the others did but I'm making it to where some other dude made keeper and had graduated with all of the others. Sorry for any confusion. Now, back to the story. Lol.)
"Ginny, you know you aren't supposed to play outside by yourself remember last time when you fell off your broom." Ron yelled up at her.
She obviously was oblivious to the fact that Harry and Ron had been watching her for a while.
"Yes, I know that Ron, but remember that you never let me play with you and your friends or by myself, so how am I supposed to practice for tryouts in October?" Ginny inquired.
"You're going to tryout, I think you would be a great chaser Ginny." Harry called up to her in a dreamy sort of way.
'Wow, look at how her muscles stand out when she in concentrating on her balance, she is so cute whenever she is nervous.' Harry told himself in his thoughts and smiled to himself mentally. (A/N: Like I've said before, her muscles aren't like any guy's but she isn't a toothpick like me, she's got to have something to show off. Lol. Back to the story now.) Yet this time he didn't stop himself from thinking it either, he had been convinced that he had fallen for Ginny Weasley, who he no longer thought of as Ron's little sister, but a girl who had very many mysteries to be solved.
The three played a game of Quidditch until Mrs. Weasley had called them in for dinner. After they ate they all went to bed, Harry in Ron's bright orange, Chudley Canons room, and Hermione in Ginny's light blue and pale pink room.
~*~*~*~September 1~*~*~*~*~
"Hurry, we have five minutes before the train leaves." Mr. and Mrs. Weasley informed to the teenagers.
"Yes, ma'am, sir." They all replied. They all quickly ran in the barrier, gave hugs and kisses good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and took their seats in an empty compartment on the Hogwarts Express.
The train lurched forward; meaning only one thing, in a couple of hours everyone would be at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Ginny and Harry sat on one side of the compartment, Ron and Hermione on the other side of the compartment.
Soon, Ginny fell asleep on Harry's shoulder and Harry liked this very much. Since he had been developing a crush on her over that past week. He sat there in the compartment, watched Ginny's angelic figure sleep, leaning against him, and all the time wondering why he hadn't seen how pretty she was before.
A little bit of the same thing was happening on the other side of the compartment, and pretty soon the guys had fallen asleep, too.
Harry had leaned over when he fell asleep, so Ginny had now fallen into his lap and was still sleeping peaceful as ever. The same happened with Hermione and Ron, on the other side of the compartment.
~*~*~*~Thirty minutes later~*~*~*~
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Pott-head, Mudblood, and the pack of Weasels. I wondered where you guys would be, oh, am I interrupting something in here? Well, too bad." Draco Malfoy, everyone's favorite ferret boy, King of the Slytherin's told them, while cackling, evilly and cruelly.
"Go away ferret boy, can't you leave us alone for once in our lives?" Hermione asked him.
"Shut up Mudblood, no one asked for your opinion on things." He replied to her question and smirked while doing so.
"Come on bouncing ferret, you need some new ideas, you have been using that insult since, oh I don't know, second year?" Harry asked.
"Whatever, Scar-head." Draco answered.
"Then, leave us alone." Both of the Weasley's yelled turning redder that their hair with anger, if turning redder than their hair was possible they did it. (A/N: Lol. Well, on with the story. Lol.)
"Well, this isn't over yet Potter, Granger, and Weasley's, this is far from over, and this is only the beginning." Draco spat, while turning and walking away with his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well, that was strange." Ginny stated.
"Yea, it was, wasn't it?" Harry questioned the quiet compartment, and they all burst into fits of laughter.
They all split up, girls in one compartment, boys in the other and they changed into their Hogwarts robes. They came back to the compartment when they had finished changing and the train inched to a halt. All of the witches and wizards got off the train and went in the direction of Hagrid.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Harry, Ginny, how are you guys?" They called out at the same time; Harry and Ginny had just gotten in line to order some ice cream when Ron and Hermione walked in the parlor.
They waved them over and they got in line with Harry and Ginny. Then, when it was their turn, they ordered their ice cream.
The sat down in a booth in a corner, so that they could talk and no one would bother them while they were talking, someone like Draco Malfoy.
When they had finished their ice cream, they left the parlor to go meet Mr. and Mrs. Weasley in front of Gringotts, where they had negotiated to meet before. When they got there, they went to The Three Broomsticks and flooed home.
~*~*~*~At the Burrow~*~*~*~*~
"Haha, Checkmate!" Ron yelled, beating Harry at chess once again, Harry had never ever beaten Ron at chess before, he wanted to desperately, but he just wasn't that great at chess, he was a seeker after all, Quidditch was his game to play.
"Hey, Harry want to go play a game of Quidditch before dinner?" Ron asked Harry.
"Yea, sure, I'd love to." Harry replied with a smile on his face, Ron had obviously noticed that Harry was kind of bored of so many chess games.
So they got their brooms and went outside to play, but when the got there they noticed that somebody else was there but they couldn't make out whom it was. Until she slowed down of course, because before she did there was only a blur of red and white. When she slowed down and threw some type of "quaffle" into a ring that was on the pitch. When Harry saw who it was he was very impressed, he could use a chaser on the team like that. She was really good at Quidditch and would be great on the team seeing as every spot needed to be filled because all the others graduated the year before. (A/N: I know that Oliver Wood graduated the year before the others did but I'm making it to where some other dude made keeper and had graduated with all of the others. Sorry for any confusion. Now, back to the story. Lol.)
"Ginny, you know you aren't supposed to play outside by yourself remember last time when you fell off your broom." Ron yelled up at her.
She obviously was oblivious to the fact that Harry and Ron had been watching her for a while.
"Yes, I know that Ron, but remember that you never let me play with you and your friends or by myself, so how am I supposed to practice for tryouts in October?" Ginny inquired.
"You're going to tryout, I think you would be a great chaser Ginny." Harry called up to her in a dreamy sort of way.
'Wow, look at how her muscles stand out when she in concentrating on her balance, she is so cute whenever she is nervous.' Harry told himself in his thoughts and smiled to himself mentally. (A/N: Like I've said before, her muscles aren't like any guy's but she isn't a toothpick like me, she's got to have something to show off. Lol. Back to the story now.) Yet this time he didn't stop himself from thinking it either, he had been convinced that he had fallen for Ginny Weasley, who he no longer thought of as Ron's little sister, but a girl who had very many mysteries to be solved.
The three played a game of Quidditch until Mrs. Weasley had called them in for dinner. After they ate they all went to bed, Harry in Ron's bright orange, Chudley Canons room, and Hermione in Ginny's light blue and pale pink room.
~*~*~*~September 1~*~*~*~*~
"Hurry, we have five minutes before the train leaves." Mr. and Mrs. Weasley informed to the teenagers.
"Yes, ma'am, sir." They all replied. They all quickly ran in the barrier, gave hugs and kisses good-bye to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, and took their seats in an empty compartment on the Hogwarts Express.
The train lurched forward; meaning only one thing, in a couple of hours everyone would be at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Ginny and Harry sat on one side of the compartment, Ron and Hermione on the other side of the compartment.
Soon, Ginny fell asleep on Harry's shoulder and Harry liked this very much. Since he had been developing a crush on her over that past week. He sat there in the compartment, watched Ginny's angelic figure sleep, leaning against him, and all the time wondering why he hadn't seen how pretty she was before.
A little bit of the same thing was happening on the other side of the compartment, and pretty soon the guys had fallen asleep, too.
Harry had leaned over when he fell asleep, so Ginny had now fallen into his lap and was still sleeping peaceful as ever. The same happened with Hermione and Ron, on the other side of the compartment.
~*~*~*~Thirty minutes later~*~*~*~
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Pott-head, Mudblood, and the pack of Weasels. I wondered where you guys would be, oh, am I interrupting something in here? Well, too bad." Draco Malfoy, everyone's favorite ferret boy, King of the Slytherin's told them, while cackling, evilly and cruelly.
"Go away ferret boy, can't you leave us alone for once in our lives?" Hermione asked him.
"Shut up Mudblood, no one asked for your opinion on things." He replied to her question and smirked while doing so.
"Come on bouncing ferret, you need some new ideas, you have been using that insult since, oh I don't know, second year?" Harry asked.
"Whatever, Scar-head." Draco answered.
"Then, leave us alone." Both of the Weasley's yelled turning redder that their hair with anger, if turning redder than their hair was possible they did it. (A/N: Lol. Well, on with the story. Lol.)
"Well, this isn't over yet Potter, Granger, and Weasley's, this is far from over, and this is only the beginning." Draco spat, while turning and walking away with his two cronies, Crabbe and Goyle.
"Well, that was strange." Ginny stated.
"Yea, it was, wasn't it?" Harry questioned the quiet compartment, and they all burst into fits of laughter.
They all split up, girls in one compartment, boys in the other and they changed into their Hogwarts robes. They came back to the compartment when they had finished changing and the train inched to a halt. All of the witches and wizards got off the train and went in the direction of Hagrid.
