Author's Notes: Yup, I bring you the next chapter for "Summer Storm". I figured I would update a lot faster then I usually did because I didn't have a chance to update when Isabelle or Isabella hit. Things might start to slow down though for this story. The plot bunnies that helped me to start this fic are starting to leave... I don't want them too. Ideas are coming slow. I had a hard time thinking up ideas for this chapter. Hopefully, the slowness won't be here long. Btw: a little Cho bashing. So, if you like Cho, I wouldn't read if I were you. All though I don't think it's that bad.
Special Thanks: I want to thank all the reviews who have reviewed thus far. You like me! You really like me! Because of you, I'll keep this story going as long as possible.
Chapter Four: Boy and Girl Talk:
After a few weeks Ginny tried not to be the girl that she was when she first saw Harry Potter, but she couldn't help it. Not only was Harry the boy of her dreams but he chose to help her when no one else knew what to do, and that made Ginny fell for him even more. She had no idea that Harry would have done that for her. After all, he liked Cho Chang, and Ginny was nothing like Cho.
Cho was one of the most popular girls at Hogwarts, and she was one of the most beautiful. Ginny was none of those things, and least that's what she thought. She thought that the only way she could get Harry's attention was if she acted like Cho, but she didn't know if she could pull that off. So, she asked Hermione what would be the best thing to do.
What she didn't know was the fact that Hermione was going through the same thing she was but with Ron. Hermione would just go quiet when Ron was around her, and Ron was acting like Ginny.
"I don't think by changing your looks will do anything." Hermione told Ginny after she explained what was currently going on.
"But don't guys usually go for girls like Cho?" asked Ginny. "I mean they just want to be friends with girls like me."
"Not all." Hermione replied. "Look at Ron and I..."
Ginny was about to go on, but the comment her friend just made, stopped her. "Wait... wait... You and Ron? As in my brother Ron?"
Hermione blushed. "Well, maybe. I think he likes me... And to be honest, I think I'm starting to like him."
"Are you serious?!" Ginny asked in disbelief. "You like Ron? You mean to tell me you think Ron is cute?!"
"Yeah, a little." answered Hermione. She laughed as she watched Ginny shudder, as if she was cold. "You have to remember I see him in a different light then you do."
"I know that's because it would be a crime." Ginny pointed out. "Well, I think it would be cool if you and my brother got together! OH! You could end up being my sister in law! How cool would that be?!"
"Very, but let's not go that far Gin, I mean we haven't even been on a date."
"I'm sure if he ever gets the courage, you'll be on one soon." said Ginny with a sigh. "You two probably have better luck then I do when it comes to this dating thing."
"What about Harry and you? Maybe you two will be on a date first." Hermione said, wanting to change the subject of her and Ron.
Ginny blushed. "Doubtful... but it would be nice."
"Yeah, it would be..." Hermione replied.
While the girls were talking in Ginny's room, the boys were talking in Ron's. Ron was the first to say: "I guess Ginny is doing way better then she was."
"Yeah, I'm glad too."
"I had a feeling you would be the one to cheer her up." Ron told him with a grin on his face.
"What does that mean?"
"Oh, come on... You know she has liked you for awhile now."
"So? What about you liking Hermione?!" Harry shot back.
"WHAT?!" replied Ron, going red in the face. "I do not!"
"Sure you don't..." Harry said. "Then why is it that you are starting to act like Ginny when she sees me uh?"
"I don't know."
"And why is it you always stutter around Hermione now?"
"I don't know!" repeated Ron.
Harry laughed. "Admit it Ron, you like Hermione."
"Fine, I like her! I like her!" Ron nearly screamed. "Happy now?"
"Yup." he answered.
Now, it was Ron's turn. "So, now you have to admit you like Ginny."
"I don't like her like that. You know I like Cho."
"I don't see why. That girl is nothing but trouble, and she doesn't even know that you're around half the time."
"I know but still something could happen."
"Sure... now you're lying to yourself. You know she's going with Cedric." Ron pointed out. "Plus, you my friend are acting a little different around Ginny."
"Like what?"
"Oh, just the fact you watch her like a hawk, and whenever Fred or George pick on her you act like a white knight or something."
"I do not!"
That was a lie. He had been watching her like a hawk, and protecting her from Fred and George's jokes. Anyone would have done those things, and he pointed this out to Ron.
"I don't know." replied Ron. "I think you are starting to fall for my little sister, and you know I'm okay with this little fact. In fact, good luck with it."
Harry glared at him, and said: "Same for you."
"I guess we will see how this will turn out. It's me against you." Ron and Harry both laughed.
Harry didn't really care about competing against Ron, but it would be interesting to see who would get the girl first. He knew that it would probably be Ron. Harry didn't like Ginny like that after all... or did he?
To Be Continued...
Author's Notes: (continued): Hope this chapter doesn't seem rushed. If it does I'm sorry. Like I said in the above author's notes, ideas are running low. So, if any of you have any idea on how you would like to see this story... Please let me know and I will give you credit. I have some ideas but don't know if they will work. Until the next update...
