CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

On the Dormitory Bed

Many of the Gryffindor residents had crashed anywhere where they could lay down. Coke

bottles and cups lay all over the floor. Chips were crushed. The fire had burned down to tiny sparks

and would jump out of the fire and into someone's hair occasionally.

Harry stirred and found himself laying on a couch and Ron was laying on the coffee table.

Harry looked at Ron's watch which was facing Harry. Ten twenty-eight in the morning. They had all

missed breakfast. That wasn't on his mind though. He had to plan what he was going to do for Ginny

tonight! He gradually got up and walked to the staircase, where students were sleeping. He wove in

and out of their bodies until he reached the dormitory. He opened the door and found it occupied by

one person, who was sitting on Harry's bed: Ginny.

"Hey Ginny," Harry said and pulled the curtains on his bed apart. "What are you doing in

here?"

She rubbed her eyes. "Oh nothing. I was waiting for you to come up– just to talk... about

anything."

Harry smiled and climbed onto the bed so that he sat by her feet. "Were sure to win the

Quidditch Cup this year. Look at this amazing team we have."

"I know! Katherine is the best player I have ever seen," Ginny agreed. Harry knew she didn't

want to talk about this. "Harry, I wanted to ask you something else."

Harry smiled as if she had read his mind. "Yeah? What is that?"

She laughed gently and put her hair behind her ears. "Are we still on break?"

Harry looked down and put a hand on her ankle. Just having physical contact with her would

help him answer that question. But all of a sudden, a searing pain shot through his scar. He fell

backwards, clutching his scar... his thoughts were transported hundreds of miles away–

Professor Umbridge was crying as her ankle diminished. Voldemort stepped over her helpless

body and grabbed her face.

"Look at me you bitch," he demanded and she whimpered. "I can make this all go away if do

what I asked you to do."

"I–will–not–betray–the–Ministry," Umbridge said with short breaths.

"Then your leg will rot," Voldemort said and kicked her in the face...

"AHHH!!" Harry yelled in pain and shot up. Ginny was hovering over him screaming his name.

"HARRY!" she shrieked. "What happened!?"

"Professor Umbridge... she's being tortured by Voldemort!"

Ginny's face became fearful. Suddenly, Ron and Hermione busted into the bedroom.

"It's happening again," Harry wheezed. "He's mad... I'm experiencing his thoughts– his

visions. Don't tell Dumbledore!" Harry yelled as Hermione tried to run from the room, but she

stopped. "He will be upset that I didn't practice Occlumency."

"Harry! Give it a rest! He needs to know this!" Hermione said but Ron turned angrily to her.

"He said NO! YOU give it a rest!" Ron screamed at her. Hermione took a step towards him.

"Well excuse me for looking out for a friend!" she said and walked out of the room. Harry was

still on the bed, breathing in hard.

"It's okay, Harry," Ron said. "What did you see?"

Harry thought about Umbridge. It was dark in the cave, he hadn't been sure if it was her. He

would have to wait for another vision to see if he was right or not. "I didn't see anything," Harry

mumbled. I just heard him laughing.

Ron left the room. It was only Ginny and Harry now. Harry slowly got off the bed and walked

into his closet. Ginny followed him.

"I'll leave," she said.

Harry did not object to this. He not even reply. Instead, he had forgotten about Voldemort

and his scar. He was in the back of his closet opening his trunk. There were many objects inside and

Harry took out most of them including scented candles and warm blankets.

The night advanced on the common room making many people prepare for Ginny's party.

Hermione had a cake made at the restaurant at the Ministry. It was very large and was a vanilla and

chocolate cake. It said SWEET SIXTEEN on the top in cursive dark blue letters. Harry was in a storage

room that was located in Gryffindor. Nobody had seemed to find it, but it was underneath the girl's

staircase. Ron had shown him a week ago.

He had cleared out the closet which was full of cleaning utensils that the house elves used and

instead put down scarlet blankets all over the floor. He had placed candles on a tiny shelf that was

attached to the wall.

He hung a banner that said 'Happy Birthday!' on it towards the entrance. It was a very small

space, but very private which is what Harry wanted. He thought that a month and half was fine to

start what he had wanted to do since day one.

He exited the closet and winked at Hermione who snickered. She and Ron had hung up

banners all over the common room.

At eight o'clock, Monica led Ginny downstairs, who was looking beautiful with a blindfold on.

They stepped down the staircase carefully and reached the end of it very slowly. You would be

nervous too if you had to walk down a two story staircase, blindfolded, wouldn't you?

Monica untied the blindfold and Ginny's eyes widened.

"SURPRISE!" over fifty people shouted. Graffiti dropped from the ceiling as people blew party

horns. Harry clapped energetically and walked forward to take hold of Ginny's hand. He led her to the

table as the guests all gathered around.

Hermione spoke. "Ginny Weasley is now the ripe age of sixteen where anything could

happen," she glanced at Harry and then directed her attention at Ginny again, "To Ginny... I wish a

wonderful birthday. Happy Sweet Sixteen!" she said. Everyone cheered. "Wait wait!" Hermione yelled.

"The happy birthday song! I'll conduct!!"

She raised her hand in the air and forced it down on the downbeat.

"HAPPPYYY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOUUUU!" The common room sang at different speeds and

pitches. Seamus was singing in a high falsetto.

"Cha cha cha!" Ron said as he shook his butt.

"HAPPPPPYYY BIRTHDAY TO YOOOOUUUU!"

"Cha cha cha!"

"HAPPPYYYY BIRTHDAY DEAR GINNYYYY!" Pause... well–almost a pause. Colin was singing over

into the rests in an opera style. "HAPPPYYY BIRTHDAY TOOOOO YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Ginny began to cry in delight and blew out the sixteen candles on her cake."

"Your presents are over in that corner!" Hermione said, leading Ginny over to them.

The next hour or so, Ginny unwrapped her presents. She received a lot of candy and even

some new clothes. ("I got them in Diagon Alley a months ago. I was planning this since party ever

since June!" Hermione said.) She had not received anything from Harry, but she did not notice

because she was busily unwrapping Fred and George's gift. She gasped when three things fell out of a

large package.

"A cloak! A new cloak!" Ginny said gripped it, but looked down. "Some gadgets from their

shop. How sweet... oh my god! They gave me a penseive!"

Harry stared at it in awe. He wanted to get one very badly. Maybe he would on their trip to

Diagon Alley– whenever that would be.

Ginny admired her gifts from Fred and George. "They really went all out," she said

disbelievingly. "Thank you all! This is the best birthday I've ever had!" Ron was cutting the cake for

everybody. He had cut himself the largest piece to Hermione rolling her eyes.

The rest of the night was loud and rowdy. Everyone was talking or sitting around the fire.

Hermione had apparently made up with Ron when she threw a piece of cake at his face and then Ron

got a large chunk and threw it at her shirt... in an area of which he tried to clean up and Hermione did

not object to.

Eleven o'clock came quickly and everyone thanked Hermione for the nice night. Ron and

Hermione helped Ginny heave all of her stuff up to her room. Harry cleaned up the cake, which had

been devoured down to the last piece of frosting. He threw some wrapping paper into the garbage

bag and then moved the tables, where everything had sat on, back to their respective places.

Ginny came back downstairs. Hermione peered over the edge of the staircase.

"Going to bed!" she waved goodnight and began jumping up and down.

"What are you hyped up about?" Ron asked.

"Oh shut up! Go to bed," Hermione demanded and skipped off to her dormitory.

"Goodnight Harry!" Ron called and he heard a door close.

Ginny was walking towards Harry, hands in her pockets. "You didn't get me anything," she

said.

"I know," Harry said simply.

"Are you going to bed?" Ginny bespoke.

"No, no– not for a long time," Harry said. "Follow me." He touched her hand and walked her

over to the hidden room. He opened the door.

"What is this?" Ginny asked incredulously.

"Your surprise," Harry said sweetly. Ginny walked inside and gasped. It was beautiful. The

candles were lit, which Harry had done earlier, and there were gold pillows everywhere.

"Ginny Weasley," Harry began as he closed the door behind them. They had to kneel down in

order to talk to each other because the room was so small. "Is it okay if we go off the break?"

Ginny nodded. "Of course!"

Harry beamed and stroked her hair. He moved his head in so that his lip touched her's softly.

He began to kiss her slowly and passionately. Ginny wrapped her arms around his waist.

Harry laid her down on the blanket so that her head rested on the pillow. She had an innocent

smile on her face as Harry sat over her.

"I've been wanting this forever," Harry whispered... it was already humid in the room.

"Me too," Ginny said with an angelic grin. Harry blew out the candles and put a hand down

next to her and his other hand on her other side, so that they were close to each other. And with

that, Harry began kissing the neck of his new sixteen year old girlfriend.
