Two days had passed of the holidays and Ginny was still in a grouchy mood. All day and all night she sat up in her room sulking on her pillow and only came out to use the bathroom or to grab her dinner which she ate up in her room. She refused to speak to her mother until she let her see Peter.
Ginny was lying back on her bed staring at her ceiling clutching her pillow tightly, when a loud knock came from behind her bedroom door she lent up on her elbows as Ron entered her room.
"Just thought you liked to know there's some wicked pancakes for lunch," Ron said walking over to her bed.
"No thanks, I'm decided it would better if I stop to eat. Mum will surely give in that way!" Ginny said an evil grin forming across her face.
Ron sighed and rolled his eyes. "Hey, I saw that!" Ginny said pointing her index finger at him.
"Because you idea is so stupid!" Ron exclaimed.
"It's perfect! She'll give in within a heart beat!" Ginny said smiling at her older brother.
"Why don't you just tell her who he is?" Ron asked raising an eyebrow at her.
"I'm not giving in!" Ginny yelled shaking her fist at him.
"Err, how dumb can you get? She's likes Peter! She'd be happy to let you go out with him!" Ron yelled back at her.
Ginny tapped her finger on her chin thinking about Ron's point he had just made. He was right. Her mother loved Peter when she met him at the hospital. She couldn't possibly still ban her if she knew it was Peter she had been seeing.
Ginny looked back at her brother's angry and confused face and gave a little cheeky giggle. She leaned up and kissed her brother on the cheek and hopped happily off her bed.
"You're the smartest best brother any girl could wish for," Ginny said and walked out of her room and downstairs to the kitchen where her mother was.
"Bloody hell," Ron mumbled falling back on Ginny's bed.
*~*~*~*
Back over at the Boarder's house, Tom, Rhys and Nick had just finished there lunch and were now sitting around the little coffee table to begin playing another round of Wizard's Chess.
"Lollie anyone?" Rhys asked chewing on a lollie offering the bag of lollies to them.
Tom and Nick just stared at Rhys who got the idea and kept the bag to himself. Tom began setting up the pieces listening to Nick still rambling on about Hogwarts.
"Do you think I'll get in your house? Do you think I should get a little book bag thing? What about-," Nick asked until he was interrupted.
"Nick, just shut up OK? You'll be fine," Tom said slamming his fist down on the coffee table.
Nick gulped hard and then the room fell completely silence the only noise that was heard was Rhys nibbling on his red snake. Tom moved his first piece, his eyes darting everywhere around the room except at Nick.
"Gees, sorry Tom, I'm just nervous alright," Nick said staring down at his shoes.
"Told you it was time for a lollie, they cure anything," Rhys said smirking at Tom and Nick.
"New topic people!" Tom shouted over the top of Rhys.
"After you finish cleaning your room Thomas," said his mother who had just entered the room holding a basket of laundry.
"Later mum I promise," Tom said his eyes not leaving the chess board.
"Thomas Boarder now please!" his mother shouted walking over and pulling him off the ground and pushed him in the way of his room.
Tom stood up straight then heading off to his room leaving Nick and Rhys alone. Nick watched him go and when he was out of sight he leaned over to Rhys and asked, "What's the deal with him and Laura?"
Rhys stared at Nick oddly and stopped chewing on his lollie. Rhys swallowed his lollie and coughed before looking back up at Nick who was still staring at him waiting for an answer.
"What's does it matter to you?" Rhys asked looking at him before digging into his lollies.
"J-just making conversation, you know, there both my friends and I do have a right to know how they got t-together," Nick said stuttering.
"Yeah right, like I haven't heard that one before," Rhys said shaking a green gummy bear in his face.
"Rhys, I mean it, please?" Nick pleaded.
"They got together the end," Rhys said swaying from side to side.
"The real story Rhys, come on," Nick said checking that Tom wasn't back yet.
"Have a lollie you'll enjoy it," Rhys said staring off into the distance.
Nick smacked Rhys over the back of his head then got up off the floor and walked to the front door and walked out of the house. Rhys got up to follow him but at that moment Tom had come back and pulled a face at the scene before him.
"What lollie did you give him Rhys?" Tom asked cautiously.
"Stop on the lollies Tom! He just smacked the back of my head and stormed off in a hissy fit!" Rhys screamed pointing at the front door.
Tom looked at the door then back at Rhys who had pulled out another lollie with a babyish look on his face. Tom groaned, walked over to Rhys and smacked him on the back of his head before walking back to his room.
"What do people have against my head?" Rhys asked with his hand on his hip standing in a very girlish pose.
*~*~*~*
Ginny had reached the kitchen to see her mother washing down the sink and Fred finishing off his last pancake. Mrs Weasley looked up as Ginny walked over to her and gave her s sweet loving smile.
"Hello dear how you feeling?" she asked patting her daughter's hair.
"Great thank you mum," Ginny said smiling at her mother.
"OK Gin, what's up?" Mrs Weasley asked putting her hand on her hip.
"Nothing, nothing at all," Ginny squeaked her smile fading.
"Ginny," Mrs Weasley said sternly.
"Yeah Ginny what's up?" Fred asked putting his plate in the sink.
"Fred leave us please," Mrs Weasley said pointing towards the door.
"I'd rather watch and learn!" Fred said grinning stupidly at both his mum and Ginny.
"OUT!" his mother screeched.
"You're on your own," Fred whispered in Ginny's ear as he left the room slowly and sadly.
"So Ginny what's it you want to tell me?" Mrs Weasley asked wiping down the sink.
"Um, you know my boyfriend I kinda spilled to you about?" Ginny said awkwardly.
"Unfortunately yes, keep going," Mrs Weasley said with a deep sigh.
"Well, I thought you should have the right to know his name," Ginny said quickly, "and his name is Peter Hall."
Ginny gulped and shut her eyes, waiting for her mother to either explode with excitement or anger. Ginny stood there waiting when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She opened up her eyes and saw her mother looking at her in the same way.
"Peter, that lovely boy who was in hospital?" Mrs Weasley asked her daughter sweetly.
Ginny felt her heart beat faster and faster. It was working. Her mother simply adored Peter and by that remark she had just made, she loved the idea that Peter was her boyfriend and not some arrogant guy.
"Y-yes, him, he's the one," Ginny said her voice sounding a bit nervous.
"Ginny, I know the game you're playing and no, it doesn't make a difference what-so-ever who the boy is, you're not seeing them," Mrs Weasley said sternly.
"But mother plea-," Ginny began but got cut off.
"Ginny, my mind is made up and I'm not changing it," Mrs Weasley said and left the kitchen.
Ginny sighed and began to walk off slowly back up to her bedroom. So her plan hadn't gone exactly to plan, Ginny wasn't going to give up that easily, she just needed time to devise a plan.
*~*~*~*
Although Ginny's day wasn't going as well as she had planned, Lauren's dream day was about to begin. In less than an hour Lee was going to be at her house to pick her up for their first official date.
"I'm so nervous. Is it normal to be nervous?" Lauren asked Laura who had come around to help her look her best for Lee.
"Yes, it's your first date, there always nerve-racking," Laura said reassuring her.
"But I'm so nervous my palms are sweating and everything," Lauren said beginning to pace around her room.
"Man, that's what it's like, you'll be fine, I promise," Laura said getting off Lauren's bed and put her hands on Lauren's shoulders.
Lauren stared down at the floor and from what Laura could hear; she was mumbling something to herself. Laura threw her arms around Lauren's neck and hugged her. Lauren's eyes widened and patted Laura lightly on her back.
"I'm so happy for you! You're first real date without me having to go with you!" Laura squealed wiping away some of her tears.
"Gees Lawz, you make me sound pathetic putting it that way," Lauren said slightly offended.
Laura smiled and giggled. Lauren just rolled her eyes; Laura could be so childish sometimes when it came to this sort of thing. She had to know every detail and at every detail she gave a little squeal of excitement.
"Now, let's recap some things. When he compliments on your outfit you say?" Laura asked getting a grip of herself.
Lauren rolled her eyes and said slightly annoyed, "Thanks you too."
"Good girl, when he puts his arm around you in the movies you do?" Laura asked her.
"Lay my head on his shoulder and cuddled up to him, Laura I know OK, stop fussing!" Lauren said slightly angry.
"Sorry, I'm just so nervous you know?" Laura said beginning to pace around the room.
"You're nervous? Hello, I'm the one going on the date not you!" Lauren shouted as she could hear phone starting to ring.
"Lauren, phone for you," her mother called from the hallway.
Lauren looked at Laura oddly before leaving her room and picking up the phone.
"Hello?" Lauren said.
"Hey Lauren, it's me Lee," Lauren grinned to herself at the sound of his voice.
"Hey Lee how come you calling for?" Lauren asked beginning to get worried he had called to cancel their date or to say he hates her guts.
"It's about our date we have arranged," he said slowly.
Lauren felt her heart beat faster and her palms get sweatier. He was, he really was breaking their date and over the phone too!
"Would it be OK if I pick you up now? I mean I'm ready and dieing to see you," Lee said with a happier sound in his voice.
Lauren let out a squeal then blushed as she heard Lee laugh from the other end of the phone. "S-sure, that'll be fine," Lauren said quietly blushing like crazy.
"Great! Well, I'll see you in a bit then, bye," he said sweetly.
"Bye," Lauren said before hanging up.
A huge grin spread across Lauren's face and she ran clumsily back into her room to tell Laura the great news. Lauren ran through her doorway and jumped to a halt in front of Laura.
"Who was it what did they want?" Laura asked as she watched Lauren's grin grow wider.
"Lee! He's coming now, as in now now!" Lauren screamed acting like a little girl.
Laura leaned back with her eyes widening. She backed away from Lauren and into the side of her wall. She put her hand to her head and said, "He can't be I haven't even started on your make-up!"
Lauren laughed as she watched her friend run around her room collecting her things to put some last minute adjustments to her make-up.

As he watched the sunset from his window, Paul could feel his stomach grumble and grumble. It had only been the first night he was going without dinner and already his stomach was noticing it.
"Shut up, we still got another day to go," Paul said staring down at his small skinny tummy.
Paul looked up and said quietly, "Shut up you are talking to your stomach!"
Paul groaned as he flopped back on his bed. Why couldn't his bedroom be interesting so the days he was stuck up here didn't seem so long? He sat back up as he saw out of the corner of his eye, his door opening.
Paul looked over to see Emily creeping in his room holding a plate of leftovers from tea. Paul licked his lips as he saw a plate full of potatoes, roast beef and some rice. Emily smiled and handed him the plate and he began to scoff in down.
"Hungry I see?" Emily said with a little giggle.
"Em, I went without dinner here, did you expect me not to be?" Paul asked spitting some food from his mouth.
"The food stays in your mouth," Emily said pointing it out.
"How dumb do you think I am?" Paul asked stuffing more food in his mouth.
Emily raised an eyebrow at him and asked, "You really want me to answer that?"
"Err, no?" Paul said looking at her oddly.
Emily smiled and sat down next to him on his bed. She put an arm around his shoulders and pulled him close to her as he put down his plate. Paul looked up at his sister's face which looked sad which was unusual; his sister always had a smile on her face.
"What's up?" Paul asked concerned.
Emily looked at her brother and smiled weakly before answering, "Nothing's wrong, just missed you."
"Thanks, glad someone does," Paul said with a little laugh.
"Whose owl is that?" Emily asked peering out the window.
Paul looked over to see Jackal, Peter's owl, flying towards his window. Paul moved over to the window, loosing from his sister's grip and opened his window. Jackal landed on the window ledge.
"Hey boy, got me a letter I see?" Paul said nicely as Jackal handed him his letter from Peter.
Paul closed the window and ripped open his letter excitedly. Paul pulled out the letter and his eyes darted from one side to the other, reading his letter. Emily watched him read until he let out a scream and pointing to some part in his letter to her.
"What is it Paul?" Emily asked as his face looked happier by the minute.
"Peter, he's inviting me and you to his place for the rest of the summer!" Paul said excitedly.
Emily grinned and hugged her brother tightly. They were leaving this place, or so she hoped anyway.
