"What's wrong with encouraging her?" Ron asked at the bewildered Harry.

"What's wrong?! I thought you didn't want Ginny to be with anyone! I thought you were playing the over-protective brother! That's what's wrong with encouraging her! Plus, I didn't think you'd want your little sister snogging your best friend."

"Geesh Harry, I didn't want her snogging someone like that kid she went out with last year..I think you two'd be great together"

"Since when do you play matchmaker?"

Suddenly the trio was interrupted by none other than Ginny

"What are all of you doing down here? You left so soon after breakfast"

"Uh..You know what Gin? I'm kinda tired..I think I'm just going to go back to bed" Ron said with an eager look on his face.

"Yeah, I'm tired also, so I think I better go back to sleep as well. You know how cranky I get when I don't get enough sleep." Hermione added, then the two of them went back up to the house, which left Harry and Ginny alone again. Harry could tell Ron and Hermione really weren't going back up to the house and he'd bet his life that the two of them were hiding behind one of the near by bushes listening in.

"So Harry, what really were you doing down here with Ron and Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"We were just talking..you know, like usual."

"Oh really? Oh Harry, there's been something I've been meaning to ask you. I was just wondering...have you been noticing anything funny that's been going on between Ron and Hermione? They seem to be going off alone a lot. I mean, it could just be nothing, but I think something is happening between them."

"What?! How could I notice anything? I've only been here one day.."

"Oh..ohh yeah..heh, well..uhh. Maybe it was just my imagination then..Yes, I think it was. And you know what? I think I'll go back to sleep as well, I am a bit tired." Ginny said, and then left quickly. Harry had wished that she didn't go; now he was all alone. For a moment he considered going after Ginny and kissing her like he promised himself he'd do earlier, but now that everyone was awake he'd rather not get the whole Weasley family involved.

Harry had just been making his way back up towards the house when he heard a rustle in the bushes, 'ha, just like I thought. Ron and Hermione are hiding behind there and probably want to know if anything happened again,' Harry thought. He pulled the bushes apart only to reveal Hermione and Ron lying on the grass entangled with each other.

"HOLY ---- Ginny was right!!!"

"What do you mean Harry? We were only spying on you!" Ron said, rubbing something off of his lips.

"You two! You weren't hiding! You were having a snog session!"

"I don't know what you're talking about! You must still be out of your mind about that dream Harry...you better get back to sleep." Hermione said, standing up and pushing hair out of her face.

Harry couldn't believe it, his two best friends were secretly snogging each other behind his back. 'Why didn't Ron ever mention these things?!' Harry thought to himself. He made his way back up to the house and left the two lovebirds there alone despite their calls for him, Harry needed to clear his head, so many things had happened in such little time that morning. Harry wished for someone to talk to, someone other than Ron or Hermione or Ginny...He went back upstairs and took out the photo album Hagrid had given him after his first year at Hogwarts. He flipped through the pages and then stopped when he saw the one he was looking for. His parent's faces were beaming up at him and they were both waving, they were joined by Sirius, who was also waving at Harry. Harry smiled at the group of people in the picture, and then stopped suddenly when a wave of anger spread to Harry. 'I need Sirius to talk to...he'd know about these thins...' he thought, before snapping the album shut.

The door to Ron's bedroom opened and Ron came in the room. He tried to glance at Harry, but Harry avoided his eyes. He didn't want to talk to Ron now that he'd been the cause of him thinking about Sirius again.

"Listen Harry. I know I left you in the dark about it, but I guess I just came to my senses and told Hermione what I thought about her. I didn't really think I'd have any time alone with her once you got here since I knew you'd be really suspicious if I did do that when you were around. Sorry about it..."

"Why are you apologizing?" Harry replied.

"Well..aren't you mad you didn't know?"

"Not really" Harry lied. He didn't really want to talk about this. He just wanted to forget about everything. About Ginny, about Ron and Hermione, ... about Sirius.

"Hey Harry! Mum said we're going to go visit Fred and George's shop today. That'll be fun, won't it? I mean, you've never been there, and most of the items they have are quite amusing. Come on Harry, lighten up.."

"Lighten up? What is that supposed to mean?"

What Ron really meant by saying that was that he thought that Harry was jealous. He knew Ginny hadn't kissed Harry and he could tell Harry was a bit depressed. 'I'll tell Ginny to just cut the crap and kiss him already. She needs to do it, I can't stand seeing Harry so depressed all the time.' Ron thought to himself.

"Nothing..nevermind that, lets go down and play some quidditch before we go. How about it?" Ron asked.

"No... I don't think so... I think I'm just going to lye down for a little. Just tell your mum I'm up here. I'm looking forward to seeing Fred and George again; I just want to get some sleep before we go. I'm sure Ginny would like to play some quidditch, why don't you ask her?"

Ron left the room and went downstairs. He found Ginny and Hermione talking in the living room and he went to join them. He didn't know what was wrong with Harry.
a/n-I know..kinda boring but at least I finally got around to updating again. I'll be back with another update once I remember how I was going to have the story.
