*~*~*~*~*

Harry just stood there. Had he really said what he thought he did? He looked down at his feet nervously, running his hands though is already messy hair.

"Uh.er." Harry tired to think of something to say to recover. Nothing was coming to him. Ron blinked a few times, comprehending what Harry had just said.

"So THAT'S why you've been acting so strange lately." Ron stated astonished and relived that the subject was off of him. "So the famous Harry Potter has fallen for our little Ginny Weasley.at least I'm assuming that's the Weasley you are talking about, unless there is something you want to tell me." Ron said jokingly as he raised an eye brow at Harry.

Harry laughed, nervously, although glad Ron wasn't angry (Ron could get rather over protective).

"Oh yeah Ron. I really fancy Charlie here." Harry said gesturing to Charlie who was doubled over in laughter.

Charlie stood up and puffed out his chest, trying very hard to hold a straight face. "And what, may I ask is not to desire about this?" he said waving his hand over his body striking a "sexy" pose.

"No offence Charlie, you're-you're just not my type." Harry said trying not to cry from laughter.

They all sighed as the laughter left them, wiping their eyes.

"So Harry.when ya gunna tell Ginny?" Ron asked giving him a sideways look. "You know you wouldn't have any contest, she's head over heels for you. She just doesn't show it as often as before." "Ron, I'll tell Ginny when you get courageous enough to tell Hermione." Harry said with a triumphant grin. Of course Harry knew he couldn't wait that long. Ron scowled. "Well I guess the cats out of the bag, so to speak." He said blushing slightly.

"Well.my work is done here." Charlie said with a wide smile. "I'm off to bed, 'night"

"'Night" Harry and Ron said together, Charlie closed the door behind his as he left.

Harry and Ron looked nervously away from each other, neither wanting to be the first to speak. They changed into their pajamas in silence. Harry finally broke the silence, as they lay down for bed.

"You took that a lot better than I thought you would." He said sitting on his bed on the other side of the room. "I was sure when I told you that I think I've falling for your little sister, you would get all protective and tell me to keep my hands off her."

"Naw, Harry, I'm happy for you, and for Ginny. I know she's always liked you. I think since even before she met you." Ron said, lying back on his pillow sighing. "But may I add, that doesn't give you the right to ever ever ever hurt her. Or shag her for that matter." He chuckled.

"Oh don't worry about that Ron. At least not YET." He said teasingly. "First I have to tell her how I feel. That's the first obstacle. AND by the way, the same goes for Hermione, she may as well be my little sister." Harry added, with a small, sleepy laugh, lying back him self.

Ron winced at the emphasis on the word 'yet', but let it pass, he knew, or hoped Harry was joking. "It's a deal." He said with a yawn.

"It's a deal." Harry said non-coherently. They both fell asleep.

~*~*~

The next morning, Harry awoke to sun hitting his face, the already electric Chuddly Cannons orange that covered Ron's room . Ron was still asleep, but Harry arose, smelling breakfast. Still half asleep he searched for a pair of pants and shirt. Having found a clean pair of pants but no shirt he left for the bathroom for shower. Harry walked sleepily down the hallway, grabbed the door knob, pushed.

"HEY!!!!!!" a distinctly female voice yelled.

BLOODY HELL, IT WAS GINNY!

Harry tried to stop the door; realizing someone, and Ginny at that, was in there, NAKED! Ginny had JUST enough time to finish wrapping a towel tightly around her body before the door swung open enough for Harry to see anything.

"OH HELL, GINNY, I...I'M.. S..SHIT. SORRY," Harry stammered, closing his eyes tight, blushing so red his face felt on fire, he didn't know she was covered.
