CHAPTER 8
THE BURROW
Mr Weasley had picked them all up that night at exactly half past nine and they were at the Burrow by half ten and were greeted, by Mrs Weasley in her dressing gown. She hugged all of them tightly, she looked extremely pleased to see Harry. Mrs Weasley gave them all a cup of hot chocolate and put a plate of biscuits on the table before them before she hurried off upstairs to bed.
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny all sat around the table talking about how good it felt to be back at the Burrow and how they were to be going back to Hogwarts on Monday.
''Hey Harry, you know when we go back are we going to continue with DA?'' Ron asked as he ate his fifth biscuit.
''I don't know, it depends on our Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher really, I mean if they're any good we won't need to. But I suppose we still could to go over what we were taught in class you know extra practice or something.'' said Harry.
''I think we should continue, it can't hurt to be prepared can it?'' Hermione added thoughtfully.
''So we are definately continuing then?'' Ginny said hopefully.
''Yeah, we will.'' finished Harry smiling, the DA meetings always helped take his mind off his problems, and he slept easier after the meetings.
''I'm going to go to bed now, how about you Gin?'' asked Hermione.
''Yeah, me too, see you two in the morning.'' she replied, as she started walking up the stairs to her bedroom. Her bedroom was not as big as Hermione's but it was still fairly big. The walls were yellow and she had a wooden floor. Her walls were covered in pictures of Ginny and her friends from her year in school, and also of her, Ron, Hermione and Harry. The picture on her bedside table was one of her and Harry, taken sometime last year, in the picture Ginny was smiling widely and her long red hair was shining against the sunlight, Harry was smiling too, his bright green eyes sparkling. They look just like Harry's parents thought Hermione as she changed into her pyjamas and laid down to go to sleep.
*********************************************************************
The next morning Harry and Ron didn't wake up until eleven o'clock and when they went downstairs they found Hermione and Ginny already up and dressed. They both went into the kitchen, where Mrs Weasley gave them both four pieces of toast each to eat and a glass of pumpkin juice.
''Morning dears, did you have a nice sleep?'' Mrs Weasley asked them as she ushered them to the kitchen table.
''Yeah, thanks for letting us sleep in mum.'' Ron said heavily through a mouthful of toast.
''Well, you won't get much chance when you're back at school.'' she answered as she pulled on her coat. ''I'm going to meet your father at headquarters and we won't be back until late. Order business. Fred and Geoerge are at that confounded shop again, but they'll probably be home at around eight. Bye kids.'' and after she had finished talking she disapperated.
''Oh Ron, I forgot to ask. What did your mum say when she found out Fred and George just flew out of school?''
''Oh my god Harry, she went absolutely mental, she tried to hex them both and she was chasing after them for almost half an hour, before Dad finally managed to stop her.'' Ron explained.
''Why was she chasing them?'' Harry asked, imagining the reason why.
''Well, once she realised she couldn't really hex her own sons, she decided she was going to bang their heads together to try and knock some sense into them.''
''Is she ok with it now?'' Harry asked, once he had finished laughing at the idea of Mrs Weasley chasing her two seventeen year old sons around the house.
''No, you heard her, she hates the idea of it, but I think she's getting used to it slowly, it's what makes them happy and it's also making them a lot of money at the moment, so she's starting to get off their backs a bit.'' Ron explained before Ginny and Hermione came over to join them.
''What are you two ladies gossiping about?'' Ginny asked them, as she stole a piece of Harry's toast.
''We don't gossip, Miss Weasley,'' Harry retorted, ''for your information we were *talking* about Fred and George.''
''Oh, right'' Hermione said as she lowered herself into the seat next to Ron's, ''What shall we do today?''
''Well, I don't know about you two, but me and Harry have a lot of homework to do.''said Ron miserabley.
''Oh honestly Ron, you've had six weeks to do your homework and you do it on the last two days of the holidays, you should be ashamed of yourself.'' Hermione scolded, while Harry sat back laughing at the two of them. ''You too Harry.'' Hermione said turning to him, with a reapproving glare.
''I guess its just me and you today then Herm,'' Ginny said as the two girls walked away from the kitchen table leaving the boys alone with their breakfast.
***********************************************************************
By the time Harry and Ron had finished their homework it was eight o'clock Sunday night, that meant that they had to pack all of their Hogwarts things quickly, as they would be catching the Hogwarts Express the very next day.
''Finished.'' Ron said triumphantly as he shoved the last thing into his trunk and slammed down the lid.
''Me too.'' added Harry as he rolled up his final piece of homework and packed it away safely into his trunk.
''Well, what shall we do now?''
''Want to go and see Hermione and Ginny before we go to bed?'' asked Harry hopefully, he hadn't really seen much of Ginny over the past two days and he was starting to miss her.
''Great idea Harry!'' exclaimed Ron as the two boys walked down the landing from Ron's room and knocked on the door of Ginny's bedroom.
''Come in.'' Ginny called, from the inside as she hurridely hid the picture that was on her bedside table.
''Hi ladies, what have you two been up to?'' Harry asked, while staring hungrily at Ginny, who was wearing a pair of shorts and a vest top, ready for bed.
''Nothing much.'' Hermione answered, she too had on a pair of shorts and a vest top, much to Ron's delight. ''It's been really quiet without you two.''
''Aww Mione did you miss us?'' Ron asked as he walked over to his sisters bed and sat down next to Hermione, watching as Harry walked over to sit next to Ginny.
''I suppose we did. Are you two excited about going back to school?'' questionned Hermione. ''Because me and Ginny are, we can't wait to start the DA again.''
''Yeah, me neither.'' Harry said, looking at Ginny longingly.
''It's going to be starnge without, Fred and George isn't it?'' Ginny said.
''No, it'll be great, no-one to make fun of me all the time.'' said Ron cheerfully.
''So what shall we do now then?'' Harry asked, thinking that if he sat there looking at Ginny for a second longer, he might actually just dive on top of her.
''I dunno, shall we play the question game again?'' Hermione suggested looking slyly at Ron.
''Good idea Herm.'' Ginny said winking at her friend, you could tell that they had been planning this. ''I'll ask the first question! If you were trapped on a desert island and could only have one person for company, who would it be?'' and as she finished the question she tossed the pillow to Hermione.
''I would have to say you Gin.'' Hermione said as she caught the pillow. The pillow then made it's way into Ginnys lap.
''Thanks Herm, I think that I would have to say you too, it wouldn't be fun without you. What about you Mr Weasley?'' Ginny asked as she tossed the pillow to Ron.
''Um, truthfully I would.......I would choose.......um.....um I would choose......'' stuttered Ron, thankful that at that very moment his mother popped her head around the door and told the boys to go to their own room and go to sleep, because they had to be up very early the next morning.
*****************************************************************
''That was close man.'' Harry said to Ron as they both lay down in their beds.
''I know, imagine the look on Mione's face when I said her name. She would probably be disgusted, I mean she's beautiful, smart and funny, why would she want me?'' Ron asked.
''I think your wrong mind, I see the looks she gives you when your not looking.''
''What sort of looks?'' asked Ron, laughing as Harry started to do an impression of Hermione drooling, looking at Ron.
''Oh Ron Weasley, I want you.'' Harry started to say in a husky voice, pretending to be Hermione. ''I want you to kiss me, kiss me now.''
''Well, you should see the way that Ginny looks at you, she's all like, Oooh Harry Potter, I need you badly.'' said Ron, putting on a girly voice, pretending to be his sister. ''I think that we are perfect together, kiss me Harry, kiss me now!''
''Oh Ron, I love you, will you be my boyfriend.'' Harry said, still imitating Hermione, totally unaware that at that moment Hermione and Ginny had both appeared in the doorway.
''Oh Harry, will you marry me so we can be together forever.''
''Oh Ronald, you complete me, I want you desperately.''
''Hold me Harry, hold me in your stong arms, and let me stare into your perfect eyes forever. Make me yours Harry Potter.''
''Oh Ron, take me now. I love you with all my heart and soul. We should get married I love you baby, make love to me.'' Harry said as he fell back on to his bed in what he supposed was an inviting pose.
''Hem Hem'' Hermione said as she cleared her throat, causing both boys to turm immedeately to the door way. ''Are we interrupting something?'' she said through fits of giggles, as both boys stuttered searching for a good comeback, both of them turning bright red.
''Oh sod off!'' Ron said as both girls turned around and walked away, still laughing madly, now doing impressions of the boys. ''Great, now they think we are gay or something.'' Ron said angrily as Harry sat on the bed scowling.
''Lets just go to bed, they might forget about it by the morning.'' Harry said hopefully.
''I doubt it.'' said Ron miserably as he turned the lights off and laid down to sleep.
