This time I really want at least 5 reviews before I carry on to the next
chapter, and many thanks to limo-baum who is my first reviewer.
Chapter 1: On The Garden
"So, anyway Harry, when Hermione finally comes over today, she'll be able to find the fastest and best spell to get your luggage and stuff all sorted out into the cupboard neatly without having to move a muscle." Ron gabbed, walking out into the gnome-less garden. It's Harry's second day of arrival and they were expecting Hermione to arrive any second now.
"Ginny?" Ron yelled.
Ginny stuck her head out of the kitchen window. "What is it Ron? Can't you see I'm busy? I'm fixing my manicu- Oh, Harry, you're here! Hi!" Ginny hated it when he appears unexpected, she has to be prepared. She was sure that she resembled a tomato from blushing. After all, she tries to impress him to make up for her lousiness at her second year when she really had a crush on him and kept looking bad. She's totally over him now but she wants to make sure he regrets dissing her. "You're done packing already, Harry?"
"Nope. Don't mind me. I'm just going to go, uh, search for gnomes while we wait for Hermione." With these words Harry disappeared behind some nearby trees.
"Sis, I didn't know you cared about manicures and nails!" Ron said, impressed. "Come out and do whatever you want out here in the garden. The weather's great!"
"Hang on." She disappeared from view and Ron heard her yell over to their Mom whom was upstairs, "Mom, do you need any more help with the kitchen or anything?"
Ron thought it was nice of her to keep helping their Mom with the housework, and was double impressed that she could do it and work on a manicure at the same time.
"No, sweets, just go have fun!" Came their Mom's reply.
5 seconds later, Ginny came skipping into view holding not just a nail- fixer, but also a box full of girly things like an eye-brow plucker, a mirror, perfume bottles, hair-accessories, you name it! She really wanted to make the most of herself and impress everyone. And to show Harry that she's no 'Neville Longbottom'.
"Ron, would you mind go getting the wretched blanket over at the shed? I need a place to sit on and dump all these stuff." Ginny asked, struggling to balance all the things that she was carrying.
"Here, Gin, I got it!" Bill arrived, to Ron's annoyance (and a bit of relief, he doesn't really like doing favors, for sisters or anyone). Even though Ron was climbing his first few steps to get closer to Ginny.
Harry immediately came back from view, "Bill, I heard your voice! How are you?"
"Not too good, my lady-friend Sheryl cheated on me. I really thought we had something going." Bill said, trying, but failing, not to show his sadness.
"See? I was right!" Said Ron gleefully, "Remember I kept telling you she was a cheap flirt and a fraud! I never even liked the way she looked! She called me a "carrot-top" when she knew our whole family were red-heads, even you Bill, her own boyf-"
"Oh, Ron, don't!" Began Ginny, going over to sympathetically pat Bill's shoulder (it's what she always does whenever comforting anyone). "The poor guy's just suffered a heartbreak!"
"I bet you know the feeling of 'heartbreak' very well Ginny," said Ron under his breath so that no one but him could hear it. "That's the pain Harry caused you, what does he see in that Cho girl he's got an eye on anyway?"
Ginny went back to sitting on the blanket layed neatly out on the garden lawn with all her girly products whereas Bill went back into the house for a cold drink and a nap (he didn't get any sleep throughout the night due to recalling his final confrontation and break-up with Sheryl over and over in his head).
"So, Harry, wanna play a game of Quidditch?" said Ron cheerfully breaking up the silence.
"Nah," came Harry's reply, he was unusually very moody this morning. "What's taking Hermione so long?"
Before Ron could reply, Ginny, who was carefully starting to apply eye- liner, said, "Oh, Harry, stop being so fussy. You know she'll be here any minuite now." Ginny grinned to herself, she made Harry look dumbfounded, she also made a mental note to herself to always use her come-on-strong ploy when around him.
Catching Ginny's evil eye, Ron thought triumphantly to himself, "Bet he doesn't think she's such a looser now!"
Suddenly, there was a loud noisy roar that endlessly went on, each minuite it got closer and closer, until.
"Oh, no!" shrieked Ginny, "It's a dragon!!"
