Chapter Three: Fair Enough

A/N: I'm in deeeeeep shit people! I think I may have figured out the ending to J.K. Rowlings books, and the overall conclusion to the series. If I'm right, you can't sue me, sue my "visions"!!!!! Plus, I have...1...2...3...4...5...*rambles on* 25 cents. A quarter. Not worth it!

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry and co. even though I wish I did, but if I did I would be J.K rowling and very rich, and I'm not cuz I'm a poor fanfic writer that needs money. Whew! Got that all out on one breath. (I don't need money...just and expression...) Rowling, if your out there reading this, I'm sorry!!! I'm about to riun your BIG SECRET! *sniggers* I decided to update since I'm soooo nice!!

*~*

Love is a gift, one in the rarest forms...treat it well, or it will come back to hurt you in the end

*~*

"Hermione, your choking me."

SHe smiled and let go of Harry's neck. "Sorry! It's just I haven't seen you since last year, and you've...grown. Uhg! I don't like you anymore, Harry."

Harry frowned. "Why not?"

Ron smiled, and Harry noticed how much his face glowed. "She feels bad about being short."

"Don't feel bad, Herm. I'm nothing compared to Ron. He's huge."

She sent him a sweet smile, which he gladly returned. The warm fuzy feeling in his insides was washing over him, the knot in his stomach was tightning, and his heart was beginning to beat faster. Was it just him, or was it beginning to burn up?

"Harry!" Percy and moved past Ron to get to Harry, hand outstretched, smiling proudly. "How are you?"

Harry took Percys' hand, glancing over at Ron for help. Ron shrugged his shoulders and went off to sit with Hermione. "I'm great Percy. And you are good too, I persume?"

His smile brodened, and he nodded. "Very well, infact. I don't believe you've heard the good news! I don't suppose Ron mentioned it in his letters, now did he?" Percy glared at Ron for a moment.

"Sorry Perc. It simple slipped my mind." Ron watched the back of Percys neck grow slowly to a redish color.

"Well, I forgive you Ron. Even though it takes great courage to." Percy turned back to Harry. "Harry, Penolope had the baby!"

Percy enthusiasm about the idea of being a father only could make Harry smile. Percy seemed himself, but happier, maybe since the last year, marring Penolope really helped him alot. He found love, why couldn't Harry?

Penolope was holding a small child, six or seven months old, wrapped in a blanket. Harry sighed. He wondered if he would ever be as happy as Percy was when he was a father. Or if he would ever become one...

Harry said hello to Bill and Charlie, who was looking like he had more burns from the dragons. He settled himself in a chair in between Ron and Hermione. Harry looked around the room, and just then relized that there was one person missing. "Where's Ginny, Ron?"

He shrugged. "I dunno. Last time I saw her, she was in her room with her friend Clair." Harry nodded, remembering Clair. She was a pesk, just like Ginny. They both would giggle and run every time he or Ron would walk in their direction.

Harry looked at Hermione, and felt his stomach drop. How could she be so perfect? Her bush hair was tied into a messy ponytail, a short sleve shirt, and shorts... Harry, stop tourching yourself, he thought, shaking his head.

A million girls loved Harry. A million more wanted him. He was only seventeen, and more than half of the witches under the age of nineteen fantasized about him. But why did he chose to love the one that only noticed him as a friend? Only as Harry Potter, my best friend. Not as Harry Potter, my boyfriend... Harry kept shaking his head.

"Harry--you got a squirrel in there?"

He looked up, and smiled at Bill's face. "Nope. Just thinking."

Fred grinned. "'Bout what?"

"Nothing really, just...stuff." That was a lie. He had much more on his mind that just "stuff".

*~*

"So," Ron said, once he and Harry were alone...at last. "You had quite alot on your mind down there. What's up?"

Harry sighed, laying back on the Chudly Cannon bedspred. The wholes were growing larger. Harry looked at Ron, with meaning ful eyes. "You can't tell anyone, not anyone at all. Not even Ginny."

"I don't tell anything to Ginny anyway." Ron smiled. "What is it?"

"I've got a crush--"

"On who? Oh, famouse Harry Potter having a crush on somebody? WHO?!?" Ron leaned forward, encouraging Harry.

"Hermione." Harry smiled as he said her name.

"A crush, on Herm? Really? There's nothing more, right? I mean you not in love with her or anything. Are you?"

"No!" Harry lied. When Ron said love, it made him feel warm. "I'm not in love with her. I just had this little crush on her last year, and well, it's going to fade. All my other crushes did, and all crushes do. Right?"

"Yup." Ron smiled micheviously at Harry. "Let's go downstairs before they send Fred and George up here to get us. Mum is making supper. I'm starving." Harry's stomach growled in agreement.

"Let's go. Not a word of what happened up here or what I told you. Understood?"

"What conversation? Does Harry have a secret? Lemme know!" Ron sounded like a child.

"That's good Ron, but cut that out now." Harry and Ron turned the corner and saw all of them there. Mr. Weasly was talking to Percy about something with the ministry, Fred and George had dissapeared, with the occasional explosions in their rooms.

Hermione, Ginny, and Claire were talking to Mrs. Weasly, who was stweing something in a pot. Harry's stomach dropped. Bill and Charlie were playing with Eleanor Ann Weasly; Percy and Penolope's baby girl. Penolope watched them, slightly smiling.

He and Ron walked over to the girls, who were giggling. Ron grinned, his face now feckly more than ever. "Don't tell me this is girls only."

"Hello, Ron."

"Hello Mum. What's so funny? Harr and I can use a good laugh too. This place is so dull--" Mrs. Weasly shot him a look. "Er, well it's dull when everones hungry! See mum! Me and Harry are starving."

"Harry and I are starving," Hermione corrected him.

"Whatever. I'm just hungry." Ron stood next to her, trying to sneak a taste of tonights dinner. He took the wooden spoon, and tried to eat some, but Mrs. Weasly slapped his hand away.

"Ouch!" Ron rubbed his hand, and glared at his mother. "C'mon Harry. Let's go where we're appreciated." He grabbed Harry's upperarm, and dragged him where Bill and Charlie were.

"She's so cute, Penolope. You and Perc are lucky." Bill said sadly.

"Yes father. Lundo Bagman did contact the ministry. He needs financail help." Percy told Mr. Weasly.

"Well, are you positive about that?" Percy nodded. "Well, Percy, I suppose we should eat now. I'm starving."

"SEE!" Ron turned to his mother. "I'm not the only one who's starving!"

Mrs. Weasly just rolled her eyes.

*~*

A week passed, and finally time to go to Kings Crossing. Platform Nine and three quarters.

"Have you got everthing, Harry dear?" Mrs. Weasly asked again, making sure.

"Yes mum. We all have everything we need. Can we go now? If we don't we'll miss the train." Ron glared at his mother as they packed everything into ministry cars. Harry took Hermiones' trunk for her, and placed it in the trunk.

"Such a gentleman, Harry," Ron whispered into his ear when they got into the car. Harry sighed and grinned at Ron. Hermione stared at them.

"What are you two whispering about?"

They both turned, and blushed. "Uh, nothing Herm. Don't worry about it."

"OOh, is Harry embarrased about something?" Hermione teased. "Do tell."

Harry shook his head. "Nothing, Herm. Don't worry about it." Yeah right, Harry, he thought. You can't even convince yourself your over her. How could you tell Ron? He's going to tease me until the day I die...

The motor roared, and they were on their way to Kings Crossing at last.

Won't you,

continue 'bout me.

I'll be your known,

dancing, you know it baby.
