Summer Lovin' - Part 2 : The Slapfest

A/N: Here it is! Oh, and HPFan, it was real.

"Have you finished yet?" screeched Aunt Petunia.
"Almost!" Harry shouted through the well kept garden - all due to his hard work. At the moment he was meant to be painting the bench green - again. However, Harry was reading the book Hermione had given him for Christmas, 'Quidditch Teams of Britain and Ireland'. Harry went inside and washed his hands in the kitchen where he received a lecture from Aunt Petunia.
"I tell you boy, if you haven't finished everything on that list you won't get any food for 3 days!" she screamed through the house. 'On that list' was the dishes, hoovering each room, scrubbing the kitchen floor with a toothbrush, painting the garden bench twice and dusting the front room, all of course, he had not done. What was the point? He was leaving for the rest of the holidays tonight. It was his birthday and only Sirius had remembered it. No one else had, not his girlfriend, his best friend, Hagrid, no. They had all forgotten. Harry was really miserable.
"Yes," he muttered weakly while he walked out of the room and walked up the stairs to his bedroom. He sighed and lay down on his bed. In a few hours Ron would be coming to pick him up via their new car and Hermione would be with him. He got up to write Siruis a letter. He started:

Dear Siruis,
How are you? I am fine. I hope Buckbeak is well. Thanks for the cake and the pranks to play on Snape and Malfoy. They are great. I'm going to Ron's for the rest of the holidays but obviously the Dursleys don't know about it. I'm going tonight so if you want to contact me send any letters there.
Bye for now,
Harry.


He tied it to Hedwig's leg and opened the window for her. She flew out and into the midday sun. Harry occupied himself for a few hours doing some homework.
When it was three thirty he got packed and secretly got his magic books and his trunk from where they were "hidden". Nearing four, he started pacing his room until he heard a knock at the door. He raced downstairs while shouting "I'll get it!" and pulled the door wide open. Stood standing there were Ron and Hermione, both smiling. They didn't mention his birthday but Harry pushed that to the back of his mind - it didn't matter for he was going to spend the next few weeks Dursley free! Mr Weasley, Harry could see, was in the front seat of the very shiny new 'bug' car.
"Hi mate!" Ron exclaimed with a broad grin on his face. Him and Harry exchanged a guy hug.
"Hi Harry," said Hermione calmly and rationally. They hugged a normal hug, but it was held a bit longer than it would have in normal circumstances.
"Later," Harry whispered discreetly in her ear. She pulled back with a small smile playing around her lips. Ron looked upon them a little confused but he didn't say anything. They went to get Harry's stuff from his room while they were being shouted at.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" roared Uncle Vernon, who looked like a sunburnt rhinoceros. They just ignored him and he was too shocked to do anything about it. He just stood there with his mouth hanging open.

They carried his belongings down the stairs in two trips, took them outside and shouted "Good Riddance!" simultaneously. They were all loaded up when they realised that they were almost out of petrol. They quickly drove to the nearest petrol station where Mr Weasley got out of the car. They watched Mr Weasley in silence until he made a big commotion of examining every Muggle object he could find, muttering 'Oh Wow!' or 'Amazing!'
"Shit," Ron muttered as he climbed over Hermione and got out the car, trying to calm his dad down.
"Finally," an exasperated Harry mumbled as he climbed from his seat to the middle seat, which of course was very spacious because it had been enlarged. "Alone," he whispered. "I haven't seen you in seven days."
"I know," she whispered back. Their eyes met and they shared a long, passionate kiss.

"Dad, calm down! People are starting to stare at you! They think you're nuts!" Ron shouted. "Use some memory charms," he added, now mumbling in his father's ear.
"Sorry son, I just got carried away. Look at this one! Isn't it so..." but he was interrupted.
"Stop it!" Ron yelled.
"Right, Memory Charms," he mumbled. "Obliviate!" Mr Weasley said to each of the Muggles in turn. Ron shook his head, turned around and stared at Harry and Hermione. He just laughed. Soon, he was practically banging the floor with clenched fists in hysterics. "Ron, what's wrong?" asked his concerned dad, who had finished performing the charms. Ron just pointed at them and started laughing even harder. Mr Weasley just chuckled and went to pay for the petrol. Ron eventually calmed down and got into the car without laughing but was on the verge of doing so.
"Ha! I got the middle seat!" exclaimed Harry, trying to break the silence, while holding Hermione's hand out of sight. "Look, Ron, we have something to tell you. Hermione and I are going out with each other," said Harry, going a very funny shade of red. Ron couldn't help himself, he started laughing.
"You're telling me! I saw you snogging a moment ago!" exclaimed Ron. Harry and Hermione went really red this time.
"Do you mind? We won't leave you out or anything! I mean..." Hermione rambled this all very quickly, but she got interrupted by Ron.
"No, no! Don't worry about me! I'm going out with Lavender!" him also going red. "You're going out with Lavender?" asked Harry, surprised.
"Er...yeah!"
"Well done mate!" Harry exclaimed and they high-fived.
"Yeah, finally got the courage to ask her out," said a very happy Ron.

Soon enough they had arrived at the Burrow and the house seemed to be empty.
"Where is everyone?" Harry asked, confused.
"Dunno," said Ron, trying not to smile. "Maybe they went out or something. Lets see if they are in the back garden."
"OK," said Harry, slowly and suspiciously. They went through the back door.
"SUPRISE!!!"
"Merlin's Beard!" Everyone was there. Cho Chang, The Quidditch Team, Dean, Seamus, Neville (who had just fallen over), Lavender (who had just come up to Ron and kissed him on the cheek), Parvati, Lee Jordan, Hagrid, Dumbledore, McGonagall and all of the Weasleys, including Bill and Charlie. There was also a big pile of presents.
"I'm sorry Harry," said Ron, in a low voice. "I invited Cho as I thought you liked her in the way you now like Herm."
"Don't worry about it. We're just friends," said Harry, overwhelmed. "I thought you had all forgotten!" Ron and Hermione laughed.
"How could we forget your birthday, you twit!" exclaimed Ron.
"Yeah!" agreed Hermione, giving Harry a peck on the cheek, making him blush.
"Thanks you guys!" cried Harry.
The Party had all gone to plan. Fred, George and Lee were the DJs, Mr Weasley and Professor Dumbledore were doing the BBQ, which was massive and there were two long tables full of puddings, jelly, salads and chilli, which looked delicious and all prepared by Mrs Weasley. All looked fantastic and Harry could tell he was going to have a brilliant time.

*******************************************************************************************

"Really? Oh my gawd!"
"Yeah. Well that's what Ron told us." The twins were causing trouble again - only this time they didn't know it. They were talking to Cho and telling her about Harry and Lavender going out (of course, they didn't know that Ron and Lavender were a couple as well as Harry and Hermione yet). Obviously they were getting Ron and Harry mixed up (don't ask me how!). "Yeah they have been going out for a few weeks now!" exclaimed George.

Meanwhile...

"Come on Ron, lets go somewhere quiet," whined Lavender.
"OK," said Ron, who was getting bored talking to Neville anyway. She lead him into a corner and they started making out. Cho, who was now talking to Neville about Herbology spotted them.
"Sorry, I gotta go," Cho rambled rudely. Neville sighed and walked away to get some food. How dare she cheat on Harry! And with his best friend too! Oh, she'd have something to say about this one. She stormed over to them. They stopped and looked at her questioningly.
"Yes?" asked Lavender, obviously irritated. Cho slapped her right around the face as if it was an answer, causing Lavender to stumble.
"How dare you cheat on Harry?" Cho asked. She turned, about to slap Ron aswell when she got slapped round the face by Lavender instead.
"For your information, I'm not going out with Harry! Ron's the only guy for me!" With this Ron pushed Lavender against the wall and started kissing her passionately. Cho left, a few people watching. She felt embarrassed. Rubbing her cheek, she was surprisingly happy. Harry was single! She thought happily. Fred and George must have mixed Ron and Harry up! She walked over to where Harry and Hermione were standing, talking.
"Hi Harry," Cho said sexily, fluttering her eyelashes.
"Hi Cho," he replied, his attention on Hermione. He looks so gorgeous! Cho couldn't help herself, before she knew what was happening, she was kissing Harry very passionately. Harry was trying to get away, who she could see, had no idea what was happening. Hermione looked upon them clearly disgusted and upset. Harry finally managed to pull away and looked at Hermione.
"Herm, look I don't know..." he tried to explain, but Hermione just burst into tears and ran away. Harry looked at Cho. "What did you do that for?" he yelled angrily. He pushed past her and ran after Hermione.
"Well. That went well," mumbled Cho, very confused.
