"I can't believe you have had a crush on Harry since your first year at
Hogwarts!" said Ron, giving Ginny a very weird look. "You know he's going
out with Hermione now, but you still like him!?"
"I can't help the way I feel!" said Ginny, looking as though she was about to cry. "It's not my fault!" Ginny stormed out of the kitchen and ran upstairs to her room, tears streaming down her face.
As Mrs Weasley walked through the front door she saw Ginny running upstairs. Obviously upset about something.
"Ron!" yelled Mrs Weasley, walking into the kitchen. "What have you done to her now?!"
"I didn't do anything," said Ron. There was no way he was going to Mrs Weasley about Ginny having a crush on Harry.
"Bull!" said Mrs Weasley. "Leave her alone! You know she's upset because she failed her O.W.L.s!"
Ginny had failed her O.W.L.S because she hadn't studied much. When she tried to she couldn't help thinking about Harry and Hermione being together.
"Well, she should've studied more!" yelled Ron, as Mrs Weasley went upstairs to check on Ginny.
*****
Back at Privet Drive, Harry was busy packing his bags because he was going to be staying with the Weasleys for a while.
"Don't make so much noise pulling that ruddy thing down the stairs!" yelled Uncle Vernon from the kitchen where the Dursleys were eating breakfast. "Lift it! You've got arms, so use them!"
Harry was so glad that he would be leaving the Dursleys forever. He'd never have to come back again. Because he would be having his 18th birthday at the Weasleys' house then going to live somewhere else. He wasn't sure where though.
"They're coming by car this time aren't they?" asked Uncle Vernon, looking at the electric heater that was in the wall instead of a fireplace.
Uncle Vernon would never forget when the Weasleys had tried using floo powder to get to the Dursleys' house four years ago.
"Yes," said Harry, sniggering.
"And if those twins try to do anything to Dudley again-"
"I know, I know," said Harry with a sigh.
"I think it would be a better idea if Harry waited outside for them to arrive," said Aunt Petunia, walking out of the kitchen. "That way we wouldn't have to even meet the Weasleys."
"Good idea, Mum," Dudley said, as he followed Aunt Petunia out of the kitchen.
Dudley was still quite big, but he had been on a diet for four years. Except for the fact that he had a stash of lollies and chocolates up in his room that nobody knew about.
"Well, bye then," said Harry. He opened the door and wheeled his trunk out.
*****
"C'mon Dad," said Ron. "We're late to pick up Harry!"
"Yeah, all right," said Mr Weasley, putting his shoes on. "Is anyone else coming?"
"Wait for me!" yelled Ginny. She'd done her hair really nicely and even put on a bit of lip-stick.
"Isn't she so cute?" said Mrs Weasley, looking at her daughter with tears in her eyes. "You're getting too old too quickly!"
Ginny blushed as she walked out the front door.
"Stop trying to impress Harry," whispered Ron to Ginny, so that Mr and Mrs Weasley wouldn't hear. "He's got a girlfriend."
Ginny walked with her nose in the air and sat in the front seat of the car so she wouldn't have to sit near Ron.
"Don't be too rude to the muggles, Arthur," said Mrs Weasley. "You blew up their whole lounge room last time."
"I wouldn't be surprised if they've made Harry sleep outside all summer," said Mr Weasley not very nicely.
"Arthur!"
"OK OK!"
"Can you two please stop bickering so we can leave already?" sighed Ginny.
*****
Harry was sitting in the front yard, wondering when the Weasleys were going to arrive. What if they'd forgotten about him? What would he do then? Don't be stupid, he thought. Why would they forget about you?
As he was playing with a small stone he heard the low rumble of a car up the street. He looked up and saw a white Camry coming towards him. He picked up his bags and waved at them as they came nearer.
"Sorry we're late," said Mr Weasley.
"That's OK," replied Harry. "I was wondering if you'd forgotten about me!"
"Of course we didn't," said Ron from the back seat.
Mr Weasley got out of the car and put Harry's bags in the boot. Harry put Hedwig and her cage on the seat between Ron and himself.
"Hi Gin," said Harry. "How's your summer been?"
"Fine," she said, not looking at Harry.
"Don't worry about her," whispered Ron to Harry. "I think it's PMS."
**At dinner time**
"You'll be meeting Hermione in Diagon Alley tomorrow," said Mrs Weasley during dinner that night. "She sent me an owl and told me to tell you."
"But why's she going to Diagon Alley, Mum?" asked Ginny. "She doesn't have to get any books. She finished at Hogwarts last year."
"That won't stop her from working will it?" replied Mrs Weasley. "I'll let her tell you all the details."
"She hasn't got a job already has she?" asked Harry. He was looking forward to be spending time with Hermione.
"Ask her yourself tomorrow, dear," said Mrs Weasley grinning at Harry.
**The next day**
"You're used to floo powder now aren't you?" Mr Weasley asked Harry the next morning.
"Yeah, I've used it a couple of times now," replied Harry, remembering the first couple of times he'd used floo powder and how he'd never ended up in the right place.
Mr Weasley sprinkled some floo powder into the fireplace and Ron stepped into the flames, which had now turned bright green.
"Diagon Alley," shouted Ron as he disappeared.
"Your turn next, Harry," said Mrs Weasley. "Quickly, you don't want to keep Ron waiting too long. Have fun!"
Harry stepped into the flames and shouted Diagon Alley just like Ron had done.
Harry spotted Ron peering into a shop window.
"Look at this!" said Ron excitedly when he saw Harry. "It's a new broomstick. It's called the Shacar!"
"Wicked!" said Harry.
"Hey, where's Gin?" asked Ron, looking around. He spotted her looking in the window of a bra shop.
Ginny spotted Harry and Ron as they were walking towards her. "Hey guys. I was just looking."
"Can't you go shopping with mum sometime and buy all your bras and g- strings and stuff?" asked Ron.
Ginny went a brilliant shade of red and answered, "I don't wear g- strings!"
"So are the ones I saw in the wash Percy's are they?" asked Ron.
"Let's just go and find Hermione shall we?" asked Harry, trying to change the subject.
******
The three of them walked down the crowded street and spotted Hermione looking into a shop window.
"Hermione!" yelled Harry, and ran towards her and gave her a big cuddle and a peck on the lips. "I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too," replied Hermione, giving him a huge smile.
"Aww, come on you two!" said Ron. "Not in front of Gin," and he gave Ginny a little nudge.
Harry and Hermione held hands all the way to the little café near Olivander's while Ginny and Ron tried not to laugh.
"My shout," said Ron. "But only if you two can keep your hands to yourselves for at least twenty minutes."
"In that case, I'll pay for myself and Harry," said Hermione, walking up to the register. Harry just laughed and followed her.
"Those two are so sweet!" said Ginny, smiling.
They all ordered their lunch and sat down at a table near the back of the café. Harry and Hermione had the same meals, chicken and cheese rolls, Ron had macaroni bake and Ginny had salad. They talked about everything that had happened during the holidays, except for Harry.
"So Hermione, what did you have to tell us?" asked Harry, suddenly remembering why they had come here.
"Well, I've got a job at the ministry," said Hermione. "I thought you guys would like to be the first to know."
"Aww, I was looking forward to catching up with you," said Harry, picking at his chicken and cheese roll.
"Well I think that's great news even if Harry doesn't think so," said Ron, grinning at Hermione.
"I'm going to go back home - I mean to the Burrow," said Harry.
"I'll come with you!" said Hermione, jumping up from the table. "We need some time to talk."
"Me and Ron will stay here for a bit," said Ginny. "Seeya's later!"
******
Harry and Hermione were sitting on Ginny's bed talking about Hermione's job.
"Why did you decide to work there?" asked Harry.
"I don't know," replied Hermione. "I've always wanted to do well and I find Percy's and Mr Weasley's jobs really interesting."
"Well I think you're making the right decision," said Harry, and gave Hermione a long, melting kiss on the lips.
