Chapter 5: Aunt Flow's Gift
~~~~~
Harry's birthday had gone by about a week ago, it was a wonderful Weasley get-together along with some of friends from Hogwarts. Harry was getting chewed out by Hermione because he and Ron had not finished their summer work.
"But Hermione," Ron protested, "we still have a month!"
"Correction," Hermione said matter-of-factly. "You only have 3 and a half weeks!" Hermione glared at them until they pulled out their text books then she left the room to go help Mrs.Weasley and Ginny shop in Diagon Alley.
Ron grunted, "She can be such a nag at times."
"Your the one who kissed her." Harry told him with a grin.
"I didn't forget." Ron barked at him.
"How could you?" Harry smiled, "I think you would remember kissing the girl you have had a crush on since second year!"
"I did not!" Ron protested. "Hey," he said shyly, "do you have the answer to number 3?"
"Don't change the subject!" Harry barked.
Ron rolled his eyes and looked at Harry's paper.
~~~
'How does this happen?' Harry thought to himself looking at the steamy mirror, Ginny was sitting on the counter, a towel wrapped tightly around herself.
"Its so hot in here!" Harry told her without looking at her.
"I feel rather pleasant," Ginny told him. Harry just looked at her towel for a second then looked away again. He somehow did not here the shower running so he went to the bathroom and heard Ginny's yell but the door had locked itself behind him. 'This whole house is out to get me,' they both thought.
Harry finally decided to discard his over shirt, he pulled it off without undoing the buttons. "Wanna?" He held out the shirt to her.
"Harry Potter, how can you think of laundry at a time like this??"
Harry smiled at her, "I wanted to know you would like to wear it, you know to cover up?"
"Harry?" She said soothingly, "You mean, you don't want me to be exposed right here for your pleasure?"
Harry turned bright red, and he hoped that she thought it was just because of the heat. "I...I...I--" Harry said, be he was cut off by Ginny.
"Turn around." She ordered, taking the shirt, and putting it on over her head. The hem went just above mid-thigh. "Thank you."
"Its ok." Harry said looking at the door.
"I just know that Fred and George are out there!" Ginny whispered to Harry. "They are everywhere," Ginny paused, "They know about every single secret passage way in this house, in Hogwarts, and almost anywhere. They could get from here to Diagon Alley, to Hogsmeade, to Hogwarts in about 5 minutes!"
Ginny heard something just beyond the door so she walked up to it and said in a deep husky voice, "Oh Harry!"
Harry just looked at her like she put on a squirrel costume at a funeral.
"I am so glad," she continued, "that they locked us up in this steamy bathroom, with me in nothing but a towel and you discarding your clothes," she staged loudly.
Harry got the idea and stood up next to her. "Oh Ginny, do that thing with your tongue again." Ginny gave him an amused look and he covered his mouth with his hand and made a muffled 'Oh yeah' like someone was in his mouth.
Ginny muffled her giggles and the door suddenly slammed open, a red and angry Ron stood in the doorway glaring from Harry to Ginny who was only wearing Harry's shirt.
~~~
"Explain," was all that Ron could say after Ginny got dressed and entered Harry and Ron's room.
Ginny who was looking, like Harry, a child who just stole a cookie from the cookie jar, she jumped at him and poked Ron on the part just below his shoulder. "Lets get one thing straight," she said, threateningly, "Harry and I did not plan this. The door locked behind him."
"So you admit he was meeting you in the bathroom?"
"No." Ginny said simply.
"Hey!" Harry jumped off his bed, "I didn't hear the shower running so I was going to wash up after that run we did, but after I walked in I heard the shower and Ginny yelling so I said sorry and turned to walk out but the door had decided to locked itself up." Harry took at the door and saw something that caught his eye. "And," he whispered quietly, "I think I know who decided to it."
Harry walked slowly and quietly over to the door, bent down and tugged on an end of an extendable ear and pulled it hard away from the door, there was two loud yells and two very loud bumps on the door. Ron opened it and there where Fred and George nursing their heads. They jumped up, "All is fair in Love and War!!!" Was all they said and then disappeared.
~~~
Harry moped around the house the week before school was to start. Ginny began to feel worried about him when he said no to a Quidditch match. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah," he said monotone.
"Harry?" Ginny asked, "Are you ok?"
"Fine," he said, once again, monotone.
"You want to talk?"
"I can't."
"Why?" Ginny placed a gentle hand on his leg, comforting him with her other.
"Because," Harry looked her in the eye, his green ones glistening slightly, "the one person I want to talk to is dead."
"Sirius?" Ginny asked timidly. Harry nodded. Hermione looked up from her book to watch Ginny.
"Gin--"
"I know what we can do." Ginny told Harry.
"Ginny, don't," Hermione glared at her.
"I just--I just need to do some research." Ginny looked into space as if making a decision on something.
"What?" Harry said, sounding more interested.
"I can't tell you," Ginny stated.
"You can't do it!" Hermione said, emphasizing the word 'do'.
"I've done it before." Ginny rolled her eyes.
"But look what happened!" Hermione waved her arm around.
"I'll go research it right now," Ginny told Harry, ignoring Hermione.
"Thank you, Ginny," Harry said, giving her a kiss on the cheek that was surprisingly close to her lips. Ginny nodded and ran upstairs.
Hermione slammed her book shut and followed her friend to her room. Hermione slammed the door and saw Ginny reaching for a box from the top of her closet. "You cannot use the damn board again!"
"Why not? It's for Harry!" Ginny found the thing she was looking for, a long and wide box with a thin height, it was wrapped in brown paper packaging and string. On the top of it, it said, "To My Lovely, Ginny. Have Fun. ~Auntie Florence."
"Ginny, that old bat wouldn't leave us alone last time." Hermione said grumpily.
"But that spell got rid of her spirit," Ginny said.
"I'm talking about your aunt." Hermione growled.
"Hey! I'm her favorite niece." Ginny barked
"Your her only niece!" Hermione informed her.
"Look, she isn't going to be here, this time, just you, me and Harry." Ginny unwrapped the brown paper and tossed it and the string in a heap on the floor.
Ginny slowly opened the cardboard box and pulled out a heavily polished piece of wood. It was old and had some cracks, on top the board was the alphabet, numbers 0-9, Yes, No, and Good-bye. Ginny pulled out another piece of wood that looked like a misshapen heart.
"I hate the Ouiji Board!" Hermione huffed. "Its so different from the muggle version."
"That thing?" Ginny asked, "Of course it is! You can't buy anything dangerous from Toys 4 U."
"Toys 'R Us." Hermione corrected her.
"Ok," Ginny rolled her eyes. "I'm just going to put some protected elements on it."
"Wait Ginny, where will we take it?" Ginny looked around, her room wasn't the right size, it was nice but she needed more room and no windows. "Basement?"
"No, too cold!" Hermione protested.
"First floor is out of the question." Ginny said.
"Why?" Hermione asked politely.
"Because, wizard Ouiji boards only work on above or below ground level." Ginny sat on her bed and starred at the grains of wood.
"What about Ron's room?" Hermione suggested.
"No! Orange walls?" Ginny placed the board on one side of her bed and put the cursor in her pocket. "I think our best bet is the attic."
"Isn't Ron afraid of the attic?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah, it is infested with spiders." Ginny grinned, "He'll just have to brave it out if her wants to talk to Sirius." Ginny smiled and stood up. "We need to look for that protection book Aunt Florence sent me about the Ouiji board."
Hermione nodded. "I'll check the study."
"I'll check the family and living room."
