A/N: Hey this is Chapter 4.
~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!
Ginny Weasley woke up late the next morning. Hermione had already left to go down for breakfast...or maybe even lunch. Ginny checked the clock...it was 9:09 am. She picked out her clothes for today. Some short-shorts and a light-blue tee-shirt. She yawned as she walked into the bathroom. She heard noise from downstairs. Apparently Ron had ate something Fred and George had concocted and he was now talking like a girl. 'Hermione, Hermione' then he noticed his voice...'FREG...GEORGE!!...I AM GOING TO HURT YOU!' suddenly it wore off. 'Must have been time-elapsed' Ginny thought. After she got done with her shower, hair, teeth, and clothes. She went downstairs, everyone had already left.
"Goodmorning sweety." Mrs. Weasley said washing some dishes.
"Morning Mum." Ginny poured some cereal and milk, and thought about what she was going to do today. "Oh hey Em." her dog had come and sat at her feet. She fed him some left over bacon and eggs and decided to go outside. "Today Em we are not taking anything, I don't want it to rain again." she looked at the sky it was overcast today...but it didn't look like it would rain. Ginny wanted to explore the place they had went to yesterday. "Hmm...there is the big tree I remember." Eminem was whining wanting to go back home. "Pipe down Eminem." Ginny said casually to the pup. His whining did not stop. "She decided to take him back to the house to stay, while she could explore with out him complaining. When she walked in.....her mother had left to go to the store...and.......
"Hermione, I thought we weren't going to talk about Krum anymore!"
"Ron, shut-up...he only sent me tickets to see the Quidditch-cup...I don't have to accept them...I am here now it's not like I want to leave!"
"Really?" Ron said.
He wasn't aware that Ginny was watching them argue. Suddenly someone poked her on the back. She whipped around. It was Harry. "Shh.." she whispered quietly.
"Really, there is no place I would rather be."
Ron grabbed Hermione up and kissed her lips. She didn't move back, infact she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back. Harry and Ginny walked in the room quietly.
"Can't you two get a room?" Ginny asked annoyingly.
Harry caught on. "Really, if there was a party, why weren't Ginny and I invited?"
Hermione and Ron pulled away and blushed furiously. "We have to talk things over, c'mon Hermione." Ron and Hermione ran outside. Leaving Harry and Ginny in the room alone.
"Well, it's about time isn't it?" Harry said to Ginny.
"Yeah, well I don't think they are going to stop arguing even if they do get together."
"Me either."
There was an akward silence. "Well I guess I better go."
"No Ginny stay here and let's talk."
"Okay."
"Did you have anymore dreams last night." Harry pressed.
"No, I slept okay, after we talked."
"Me too."
"Really?"
"Yep."
Harry's eyes were boring in to Ginny. She didn't know what to do so she just stared back. She couldn't read the emotion in his eyes. He looked so perfect. Ginny stared at him intently. "You know if there is any time that you ever want to talk I am here, especially now the situation might be a little different with Ron and Hermione."
"I know Ginny, and if there's ever anything you want to talk about, or that I can do for you, you let me know."
****************************************************************************
In the days to come after Harry's birthday. And about the last week in August. Harry and Ginny talked alot more. They trusted each other alot more. Ron and Hermione still argued. But their arguments always ended with hugs and kisses. Even if Voldemort was slipping back into power this had been one of the greatest summers the four of them had spent together. Ron and Hermione finally worked out some of their issues. Harry wasn't ignoring Ginny as much. Life was good. Atleast then it was.
They didn't know what might await them at school. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had to take their O.W.Ls this year. Ginny's workload would be hard as well. Fred and George had told them that 4th, 5th, and 6th years were going to be their hardest.
***************************************************************************
Ginny had definately changed over the summer. Now it was time to board the Hogwarts Express once again.
"Okay George, you first." Was her mother's familiar voice. Fred then got onto the plat-form followed by Ron and Hermione...they had to go together isn't that sweet. Then Harry went. "Good luck this term Ginny dear, I believe we are going to Romania to visit Charlie at Christmas, so you, Ron, George, and Fred will be at school."
"That's fine mum." She hugged her mother good-bye and was on her way to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
**************************************************************************
"Well if it isn't little Ginny Weasley." a familiar haughty voice came.
"Shut-it Malfoy, or I will hex you."
"I only wanted to talk."
"Well I don't want to talk."
"Suit yourself."
__________________________________________________________________________
"What was that all about Ginny?" Harry asked, when Ginny got into their compartment. Hermione and Ron wanted one alone. (A/N: Hmm...I wonder why?)
"Malfoy said that he wanted to talk."
"If he bothers you just tell me, it would do me some good to punch his lights out."
"Really Harry, I can take care of myself, I grew up with Fred and George you know."
"Just the same, I told you if you ever needed anything, anything at all, just ask, don't hesitate."
"Thanks Harry."
"No problem."
Ginny brightened up at the prospect that she and Harry would be in the compartment alone for the next 6 hours. Except for the occasional interruptions of the lady with the 'Sweets Trolley'...or Malfoy and his goons.
She and Harry were talking about Voldemort. "Yeah, dad said that they were taking extra safety-precautions this year." Ginny said.
"I should hope so, I wouldn't want the school shut down, it is like my home." Harry said.
"I would say that I am sure that they wouldn't, but we can never tell what is going to happen in the future."
"Yeah, that's what scares me."
"Ahh...let me check my inner-aura." Ginny said in a false Trelawny voice.
"Haha, she is always predicting my death." Harry said with a laugh.
"The woman has no clue what she is talking about, I should have listened to Hermione when she told me not to take it. She is really off her rocker, telling me that my life would be filled with pain and misery. Out of our whole year I am the one she picks on."
"I know how you feel, she picks on me too."
The compartment door opened. "Well if it isn't Potter and his girlfriend...alone...back here snogging Weasley."
"Go away Malfoy, and it's none of your business what we are doing."
"Trying to take up for your little girlfriend Potter?"
"I am not his girlfriend Malfoy, now go away before I hex your ass to next year."
"Yeah Malfoy, don't forget what happened last time you started with the rude comments."
"I'm leaving, Potter you and Weasley have fun." Malfoy said as he walked out the door.
Malfoy stuck his head in. "Oh and Ginny we'll talk later."
"We will not!" Ginny shouted as she slammed the door behind him.
"He gets on my last nerve, Malfoy." Ginny said frustrated.
"Who's does he not, I wonder why he wants to talk to you."
"Who knows."
"Well your not going to are you?"
"Of course not, I think he is the lowest scum on earth."
"Good then, so if there is a Yule Ball this year you'll go with me?"
"What?"
"Will you go with me to the Yule Ball if we have one this year?" Harry repeated slowly while blushing.
"Of course, I'd love to."
"You know, I would have been glad to go with you last year, if you hadn't went with Neville."
"Yeah I had to go to the Hospital Wing because he broke my toe."
"I noticed you wincing while you danced with him."
"Yeah." Ginny laughed.
There was another akward silence. "Ginny there is something I need to talk to you about."
"What?" Ginny asked.
