Chapter 4: Something to Hide
The next morning Harry awoke to a bright, boisterous house. It reminded him of the burrow a lot.
" I am so glad everything is finally normal around here." he said to himself, as he got out of bed and changed into blue jeans and a dark green shirt.
"Harry come get your breakfast!" Petunia called.
Harry hurried down the stairs. The smell of fried eggs and sausage caught his attention.
"Mmmmmmm, smells good Aunt Petunia." Harry said.
"Thank you Harry. Now sit down and eat, we have lots of shopping to do today!" Petunia sang joyfully.
As Harry sat down he realized three chairs were empty. One of them was Dudley's who was probably sleeping in as usual.
"Where are Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked.
"Oh, there in the garden. They just finished breakfast." Neville replied
"Neville!" Ginny scowled under her breath.
"What?" Neville asked innocently, feeling quite threatened by Ginny's menacing glare.
"Yeah, what?" Harry
"Oh, um, um, nothing Harry." Ginny stuttered. "No really? What's going on?" Harry asked again, starting to get annoyed.
"Harry, nothing is going on, just drop it okay?" Ginny said flatly.
"No! Something is going on in that garden, and if your not going to tell me then I'll find out myself!" Harry yelled, as he stuffed the last of his eggs in his mouth and stormed out the room.
"Oh! now you've done it Neville!" Ginny grumbled "Hermione is going to kill me!
"What could Ron and Hermione be doing in the garden that Ginny doesn't want me to see?" Harry mumbled "They are my best friends why..." But before Harry could finish, he realized what Ginny was trying to prevent him from seeing, and he wished she had done a better job. Harry could not believe what his eyes were seeing. Hermione and Ron, his friends, were, well they were kissing!
"What are you doing?" Harry yelled.
"H-hey Harry. How was breakfast?" Hrmione stuttered.
"Just fine! I want to know what you're doing?" Harry shouted.
"Well, you see Ron and I have been a couple since the end of fifth year. And as you can see like a normal couple, we , were, um, well we were kissing." Hermione replied calmly.
"You've been a couple that long and you haven't told me!" Harry yelled "Apparently you already told Ginny and Neville because they didn't want me out here!"
" We, we were hesitant to tell you because we were afraid you'd react like this." Ron stuttered, his face turning redder than his hair.
"You were hesitant to tell me?! When were you ever planning on telling me? When you were married? You know what, just forget it." Harry yelled as he ran out of the garden and into the house.
"I knew he'd react that way if we told him." Hermione said.
" Yeah, but I think we should have told him in the first place Hermione." Ron replied.
Harry came in the house and slammed the door.
" That would be Harry." Ginny sighed " I'll go up and talk to him. Neville you stay here."
Ginny crept quietly up the stairs after Harry. Of course the door to his bedroom was closed so Ginny knocked softly on the door.
" Harry? Are you in there?" Ginny asked.
