A/N: I own NOTHING! You people know that, JKR knows that, I know that
everyone is fine! I am not really sure how I feel about this chapter, I
think it just kind of drags on, maybe it's just cause it took me a few days
to type it up or something. Oh well, hope you like it! Do review! I will
give you. two chocolate frogs if you do!

When Ginny got home the first thing she did was throw some powder into the fire, and send her head straight over to the Weasley's bedroom grate.
"Penelope!! Penny, come here!"
A few moments later Penelope came hurrying into the room.
"Gin, what is it?"
"I have so much to tell you!"
Penny sat down in front of the fireplace and got comfortable to hear what Ginny had to say. "What? Meet some hot Muggle at the dentist's office?" she said, jokingly.
"No exactly," Ginny replied " but I did have a nice lunch with a nice gentleman at the YFC."
"Oh do tell! What's his name?"
"Harry."
"You do seem to have a thing for 'Harry's don't you?" Replied Ginny's amused sister-in-law.
"No Penny, THE Harry. Harry Potter! He was at the dentist's office! Hermione made him go today.Do you think she planned this?"
"Hmm, who knows." Penny said, in a reserved sort of tone.
"Fine, you two keep your little plots a secret, but I must say it wasn't so bad eating with Harry. I thought I might be uncomfortable around him, but really it was fine. I mean, he is still charming and handsome, and everything he used to be that made me have that silly little crush on him."
"You talk about that "silly little crush" like it's in your past!" smirked Penny.
"It is in my past!" Ginny retorted. "He's just a family friend. He isn't anything more and he never will be. Not that I want him to be!" Ginny added hastily.
"Penny!! Get your head out of that fire and come here, please!" yelled Percy from some where else in the house.
"Well Gin I better go, we are searching for some decorations and everything is rather jumbled and you know how that gets him! If you get to keep your denial, then I get to keep my plots a secret. Sounds fair enough to me!!"
Before Ginny could give her opinion on whether or not it was fair, Penny's head had disappeared.

When Harry got home he flopped down in a chair and thought about the day. It had turned out to be nicer than he thought it would. He didn't see the dentist, but he got to have dinner at YFC and with Ginny. That girl sure had changed a lot, by her looks, but personality wise she hadn't really changed. She was still rather out going and friendly and kind, and she even seemed more comfortable around him than she used to. They had a good conversation over lunch and he had a feeling they might become better friends now. He had her e-mail, and she had promised to come to more Family events, so they would talk more than they used to.
"I'll write her an e-mail now just to let her know that I have her address." So Harry went to his computer and typed up a short little e- mail, telling Ginny that he had heard her giving out her address to Bilal and Kate and it had just stuck in his head. He told her just wanted to say "hi." He didn't really know what to else to say, so he sent the e-mail and went to make him self some tea, then he would check his own e-mail.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Ginny moved away from the fire and decided to change into her nightclothes, and put on a pot of tea. After she had changed and gotten her self some of the tea, she decided to check her e-mail. She saw immediately that there was one from Neha, her old school friend. Ginny used to go to the library a lot, she liked to get away from her brothers, from the general commotion of the common room. It was there, in the library, that she had meet Neha, who went there to force herself to get her work done. Since they both spent a lot of time there they began talking and became very good friends. That was in about Ginny's third year.
Ever since she started hanging out with Neha, she started becoming friends with all the Indian people. She found out that even if they weren't in the same houses, most of the Indian and Pakistani people and such, knew one another. Being part of this group was very comforting to her in a way.
She clicked on Neha's e-mail, which was titled "GREAT OPPORTUNITY!!!", wondering what it was about. As she read it she got a little more interested, it was about how Neha had decided to set up a blind date for her. She said the guy was Indian, he was really sweet, he was a little older than her, and he used to be a star of Hindi films. In fact Neha and Kate had both had crushes on him when they were younger. That was exciting. usually blind dates didn't work out too well, but you never know. Ginny typed a message back to Neha telling her that her plan sounded fine, to just let her know when she set a date. Then she went on to check her other mail.
Ginny noticed that there was e-mail from an address she was unfamiliar with. Normally she would have just deleted it but the subject line it said "Gin, Just wanted to say hey". Even if some SPAM came it never had her nickname on it, so maybe it was from someone she knew.
When she read the e-mail she was even more surprised than when she read Neha's mail. This message was from Harry. He said he had heard her giving her e-mail to Bilal and Kate and it just stuck in his head so he had decided to drop her a line. She wrote him back, telling him she was very glad that he had, and telling him all about Neha's letter and how she had a blind date. She just mentioned it in passing but something in her hoped that Harry would know she wasn't a complete loss in her romantic life.
After she sent Harry his message she read the rest of her mail and decided it was about time to head off to bed. She shut down her computer, put her empty cup in the sink and then climbed in her big four poster that was very reminiscent of the Hogwart's beds, just a bit more modern.
~*~*~*~*~*~
When Harry returned to the room to hceck his mail, he noticed that Ginny had already replied to his e-mail. He set his tea down and started to read her letter, with a twinge of anxsiouty . She said that her friend had set her up on a blind date with some, supposedly, famous Indian actor. Blind date? The guy could be some huge wanker, how did she know? He figured he better tell her to be careful what she told him, maybe he should tell Ron, or one of her other older brothers, blind dates could be dangerous! He thought he had heard somewhere that... WHAT THE HECK? Harry sounded like he was Ginny's big brother or jealous ex- or something! When Harry clicked on the reply button he simply told Ginny that he was sure she would have a good time and he hoped she would let him know how things went...
