"Unexpected Surprises"

Return to the Burrow

"DRACO?" Harry's face widened with complete surprise. "Hello Mr. Potter. I will be your ministry valet for today. If you would care to point me towards your things I would be happy to put them in the car." Harry point up the stairs to his small room just off the landing. He watched as Malfoy climbed up the stairs and came down lugging Harry's things. "Now Mr. Potter would you please follow me to the car. Mr. Weasley is waiting for you." Harry followed Draco to the car and climbed in the back seat. "Hiya Harry!" "Hello Ron. What's up with him?" Harry nodded to the young man who had just entered the passenger seat of the car. "Dad said that during his first week at the ministry he pulled some prank on the coffee girl and his father was so mad at him that he demoted him to VALET! Pretty damn funny if you ask me!" Harry and Ron talked about passed and present until Malfoy leaned back and told then they would be arriving at the Burrow in a few minutes. "Thank you Mr. Malfoy." Harry told him in mock seriousness. As Harry entered the house he had grown to know as home he realized that it was quiet. He was about to ask Ron why when the rest of the family jumped from behind the mismatched furniture. "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY!" Harry blushed as Mrs.Weasley and Ginny gave him a kiss on the cheek. Fred and George offered Harry a treat but knowing about their recent exploration on the gag business he declined. For the next few weeks Harry enjoyed his stay at the Burrow. The boys were often found in their make shift "Quidditch" field. Ginny sometimes tagged along. It was common knowledge after all that she had a big crush on Harry. Hermione arrived a few weeks after Harry. Ron was the first to notice an extreme change in Hermione. One day while Harry and the Twins were practicing Quidditch Ron confronted her. "Mione..." Hermione looked up surprised that he wasn't with the guys. "What's wrong? You've changed! Tell me, I'm your friend!" "I don't know Ron it's just that I'm happy I'm away from home. It's been total hell since Janice left!" "Janice?" Rom asked questionably. "My adopted mother!!!" she explained "Yeah did I tell you? I'm ADOPTED!!" "Hermione. you're adopted? When did you find out?" "When that bitch Janice walked out of my life!" "Oh my god Hermione. I'm so sorry!" He took her into his arms and comforted her while she cried. "Thank you Ron." "No problem. What are friends for?" he leaned down and kissed her soft lips. "Ron.why? She asked "Hermione, I've liked you for a long time. Will you go out with." She cut him off. "Yes Ron!" she hugged him tight and he kissed her again. "Let's go see the others!" "In a minute." She kissed him again and pinched herself just to make sure it wasn't a dream and she wasn't still in that muggle hell whole. Then she pulled him out the dorr and to the Quidditch pitch. As they reached the hill on which it lay they plunked down beside Ginny. Ron was cuddling with Hermione. Ginny glanced at them and then went back to watching Harry greedily. Harry saw his friends join him and landed softly a few feet away. "Hey guys. You umm together?" He looked a Ginny and passed her the broom. "Want to try?" he asked "Sure." She grabbed the broom and set off into the sky. "Harry were you aware that she was staring at you?" "Yes." "She really likes you. She never shuts up. Always taking about you." "I know. I should do something about it. But what?" "Ask her on a date." Hermione answered. "Alright. Oi Fred can I borrow your broom?" "Sure." He landed the broom and handed it to Harry. "Oi Ginny, want to go out tonight? "Okay. What time?" "Dunno. A couple hours." "Ok!" she landed passed the broom to Fred and floated down to the house. "MUM!!!! Harry's taking me out tonight! I need a dress!! MUM?" "In here dear." Mrs. Weasley's voice came from the sitting room. Ginny ran into the room and told her mother what had happened. "Now calm down dear. Harry's taking you out. Were exactly is he taking you?" Ginny's face fell as she realized she didn't know. "I don't know mum." She started to cry.

At the same time..

"Where the hell am I going to take her?" "How about the cinema?" "Good idea." "Well you'd have to go shopping." "Damn. I don't know about girl shopping!" "Well, we could always go with you!" "Would you?" "Sure why not!" Ron answered? They walked down to the house and told Ginny. A few short minutes later they were packed for the night and talking to Mrs.Weasley. "Be good. Here Ron. Take only how much you need." Ron took the key and disappeared after saying goodbye to his mother.
