Chapter 2
Harry made his way into the apartment half an hour after Ron left. His hair was slightly damp, as it had started raining just before he got back to the building, but not wet enough to control the unruly mess. As he stared around the apartment he could see no change. For a moment he assumed Ron had merely gone to bed before he saw the nice neat note sat on the kitchen table. He picked it up with his right hand as he took off the arm of his coat with his left.
Harry,
I have popped out, see you later,
Ron
Short but sweet, but Harry was not fooled by Ron's apparent calmness. The writing was a little shaky and Harry could see at least one tear splash had made the paper slightly damp in places. Harry sighed, sure Ron's amazing surprise for Hermione had been ruined but there was no reason why Ron couldn't tell Hermione how he felt all the same. Slowly Harry pulled out his new wand, stared at it in slight disgust for a while and then performed a spell that cleared the sheet of paper. Neatly in it's place he wrote.
Ron,
I'll see you when you get back, I know damn well why your not here,
Harry
The boy who lived smiled for a moment before heading off to bed, he, unlike some people, had work in the morning.
~*~*~*~
They sat cross legged on the bed, the two of them. Ginny's prawn Chop Seuy sat between he legs while Jerald's chicken Chow Mien sat on the bed next to him. The romance in the room was thick, so thick it needed a chainsaw to be cut through. Jerald had planned the whole thing while Ginny had been at work, Honey dukes was hard work but she loved to see the kids faces, and when she had arrived home she had been gob smacked. A trial of roses led her to the bedroom which was candle lit and filled with love music. Jerald had kissed he lightly on the cheek from behind and then produced a Chinese take away from under a cloth.
Ginny took a sip of her wine. In truth the eating and drinking was just a formality the two of them were just waiting, waiting for what was to come. Jerald winked at her and Ginny smiled back. To hell with it, Ginny thought as she pushed the food aside and leaped across the bed, catching Jerald off guard and almost spilling wine all over the place. She planted a big kiss on him and Jerald fell back lightly onto the pillow. His mind went back to the necklace he had bought that sat under the bed, a token of their two months together. He would give it to her later, right now they were going to do what they did best.
DING DONG !
The doorbell. Ginny made her way slowly to her feet, pretending to drop a penny as she did. Jerald giggled at her obvious attempt to make him excited but he had to admit it had work.
"Just my luck," Ginny muttered as she walked over toward the door. It was nine o'clock, The person at the door was most likely Ron, Harry or Hermione. Ginny would tell them she and Jerald were busy and be back in the bedroom in no time. A quick look through the door hole told her she had guessed right. It was Ron.
"Oh, Ginny, Hi," Ron said, he sounded sad and in need of someone to be with him. But that was what Harry was for, she would get rid of him quickly. "Is Jerald there ?"
"Nope," Ginny lied and began to shut the door, Ron's foot found it's way in the gap and he pressed on.
"Did you know Hermione's got a job at Hogwarts." Oh god, the Hermione thing. Ginny wished that they would get together, the two of them had wanted each other since their third year at Hogwarts and now the fact that they weren't together was just plain annoying.
"Yes, in fact I did," This was the truth, "Hermione told me the other week." Ron suddenly became purple in the face. The anger was back and it made it's way slowly form his bowls to his stomach
"And you didn't tell me!" Ron began to snarl. Suddenly the phone rang. Using quick thinking Jerald had called the home phone on his mobile. Ginny smiled in side at what a sneaky man she had fallen for.
"Oh my, That must be Luna, Bye Ron." Ginny said pathetically as she closed the door. Slowly she walked back to the bedroom. "Good thinking with the-" It wasn't Jerald at all. He had used the time to strip down to just his underpants and climb into bed, Ginny smiled at him but then turned to the phone.
"Leave it," Jerald said. Ginny didn't need to be told twice. Slowly she unbuttoned her shirt before letting it drop to the floor. She began to shimmy down her skirt as the answering machine kicked in.
"Hi, this is Ralph, Jerald if you could please pick up the phone we have an emergency." Quickly Jerald dived past his red head as she stepped out of her skirt. He picked up the phone chatted briefly and then began to dress.
"Where are you going ?" Ginny asked, her face seemed almost blue with disappointment.
"I've got to get down to the office," Jerald began pulling his clothes back on, "Ralph has met up with Marvel to pitch our new idea, Bill Boomerang " He kissed Ginny lightly on the head as he made his way to the door. "Tomorrow, I promise." Ginny fell back onto the bed and picked up her Chinese, unexpectedly Jerald continued talking, "Check under the bed." He yelled as he closed the door. Ginny smiled, always one for surprises my Jerald.
