"Hello Ginny, what are you doing down here so late?" He asked, a mild playfulness in his voice.
"Well, I had just been sitting at the top of the steps thinking when I heard you come in, so I came down to see if everything was alright."
"Oh, yes everything is fine, Dumbledore just had to tell me something, nothing direly important though." He lied.
"Ah, well yes, of course. Well I suppose I should get to sleep, as the Hogsmeade trip is tomorrow."
Harry had almost forgotten, Dumbledore had offered to take the remainder of the students above second year to Hogsmeade as a Christmas gift to them.
"Oh yeah, about that, would you like to go with me Ginny? I know a great place to go if you like coffee."
Ginny went red in the face and shook her head enthusiastically, Harry smiled and laughed, brushing a piece of hair back from her face.
"Well, good night then Ginny, I'll meet you down here tomorrow."
"Night Harry."
He walked up to the step she was standing on and kissed her softly on the lips, whispering "night" into her ear. He swore that he could feel her shiver next to him as he walked away.
************************************************************
The next day Harry woke up early and got ready to go to Hogsmeade. He dressed in a dark green sweater and a pair of black trousers. He laughed as he remembered the year before when he had gone shopping with the Weasly's at a muggle clothing store. She had picked it out and said, "Oh Harry, this would really bring out your eyes." She was right.
After he was ready he walked down to the common room, he had tried to be very quiet getting dressed because everyone else was still sleeping. He found it strange that the bed hangings were drawn around Ron's bed, but figured that he just wanted to get some extra sleep and not let the sunshine wake him up.
Coming down the steps he saw that there were already people sitting in the chairs in front of the fire. He also saw that each of them had red hair. Wondering what exactly was going on he began walking toward the fire. Before he reached it the five people stood up and turned around. Harry saw that they were all of the Weasly brother's with the exception of Percy who was still not talking to his father or the family. The five boys followed each other in a single file line and right to Harry. Starting with Ron, then Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie. They circled Harry and stood in a small ring around him. He began to feel a little nervous because they were all staring at him as if they were going to kill him.
"Hey guys, what are you all doing here?"
"Well Harry," Bill began.
"We need to have a little talk with you." Charlie finished his sentence.
"A-about what?" He was getting a bit more nervous now because the ring was closing in on him .
"Well, information from Ron tells us that you asked Ginny to go to Hogsmeade with you today. Is this true?" George gave a sly grin to Ron and he turned slightly pink.
"Yes, I did last night."
"Well we just want to make sure that you don't hurt our baby sister in any way possible." George was the one to speak again.
"Or, we'll kill you." It was his twin's turn to talk now as Fred reached into his robes and pulled out his wand, doing a slashing motion over Harry's throat. "Do you understand?"
Harry nodded, too scared to speak, he knew that the boys wouldn't kill him, but with all five of them together, they could do some unruly damage. That was for sure.
"Very good." Bill said as Fred put his wand back into his robes. They all backed away from Harry, just as Ginny walked down the steps.
"Fred, George, Bill, Charlie! What are you all doing here?" She ran over to her brothers and gave them all great big hugs.
"Just giving Harry a bit of a warning, that's all." Charlie said to his baby sister, as she glared him in the eye. Apparently she knew what the 'bit of a talk' was about.
"Harry treats me fine thanks, and if he did anything to hurt me, I promise I'll tell Ron."
The boys nodded, said their final good bye's and Apparated into thin air. Harry glared at Ron.
"What did you go telling them for?" He said very irritably, he could tell by the look in Ginny's eyes that she was thinking the same thing.
"Well, they threatened to shove a Ton-Tongue-Toffee down my throat if I didn't keep and eye on Gin and make sure that if she did anything with 'anyone of the male gender' here at Hogwarts that was beyond friendship that I would tell them. I'm sorry mate, I'm sorry Ginny."
Harry could see the pleading in Ron's eyes when he told him that he was sorry, and for this, he forgave him.
"Well, its no big deal Ron, just make sure they don't maim me too bad next time they come to visit. And a warning would be nice."
Ron nodded, looking at Ginny, her features had softened when she had heard the sincerity in her brother's voice. She excused herself and went upstairs to get ready for the day. Harry and Ron saw Hermione walking down the steps, but as Ginny went up she hooked her by the arm and dragged her back up the steps, Ron and Harry both began laughing at the look on her face being dragged backwards up the steps.
Ron and Harry played a game of Wizards Chess as they waited for everyone to wake up and go to breakfast. Ron of course, beat Harry, but Harry was used to this, as Ron had been named the best Wizard's Chess player that Hogwarts had ever seen in his first year. He remembered how Ron had sacrificed himself so that Harry could go on and find the Sorcerer's stone. He had really never thanked him for that. He decided to not break Ginny's heart as repayment for his bravery.

A/N…sorry, not a very interesting chapter, but a transitional one, and we all know that transitional ones are needed! I'm going to try and write a chapter for my other story before I have to go get ready to leave. Please R/R!
