to Hermione. "Think about it...If I don't make it out alive, what'll they say? Harry Potter...boy who tried to save us?"
Ron shifted uneasily and sipped his butterbeer lazily. "Harry? C'mon, let's get out of this place, its depressing."
Harry heard his voice somewhere in the distance but he was back to that day...Triwizard Tournement..the graveyard.
"Harry Potter."
Harry snapped back. "What?" Molly, Charlie, Bill and Arthur Weasley were all in front of him, looking grim.
"News?" He asked knowing the answer. "None that you should know," Molly said soothingly. Harry grimaced.
They still didn't think he was man enough. "Mum? Where's Ginny and Hermione?" Ron asked impatiently. "They're...home. Now, come you lot...we've got to run." Arthur placed a gripping hand on Harry's shoulder and smiled.
"After you," he said politely. Harry stepped into the flames, wishing he could just burn up with them.
"Harry Potter! Where might I ask have you been? I've been trying to owl you for over an hour!" Hermione shrieked as he exited the fireplace and Ron appeared.
"Why the rush? What's happened?" Hermione glared back.
"Rush? Your...girlfriend, Cho! That's what. She had the...the nerve to send me an owl!" Ron shrugged. "'Bout what?" Hermione wheeled to him. "About Harry and his supposed "crush" on me, that's what. I don't understand it, but Harry, set her straight would you? She...uhhh!!"
She stomped up the stairs and seconds later, a door slammed.
Molly and Arthur entered. "Problems?"
Ron shook his head. "Nope."
Molly nudged Arthur and they proceeded to the kitchen, where a meeting was soon to begin. Ginny turned to Harry. "I thought you two weren't an item?" Harry nodded.
"We're not. I guess she still likes me. Hard to believe after last year..." He shrugged. Ginny turned to her brother. "You might should go check on her, you know, make sure she hasn't sent a howler or something."
Ron nodded and sighed. "Wish me luck."
Harry sat down on the sofa and Ginny hummed a tune. "Harry, you can't avoid me like this." Harry nodded. "I realized this." Ginny smiled lightly. "You should. I need to know your decision soon. Customers aren't allowed much planning time, and you realize I got you in line quicker than the normal person, eh?" Harry shrugged. "I suppose...well...guess I'm out then."
Ginny raised her eyebrows. "Alright then. You wait. When Weasley's Wizard Wheezes hits it big, I'll be rich of my investments." Harry laughed. "I've already played my part in that shop. So you are going to tryout as a chaser this year, right?" Ginny nodded. "I've decided to. I think." Harry nodded and yawned. "You should, its going to be a good season. Well...guess I'll head up to bed. See you in the morning." Ginny nodded. "I'm gonna stay down here and read for a while. Goodnight."
As Harry proceeded up the stairs, Harry saw Ron exit Hermione and Ginny's room. "Well?" Ron shuddered. "She's upset. Marjorly. I don't get it...Cho's just one girl! Who cares what she thinks!" He huffed up the stairs, leaving Harry in front of Hermione's room, door wide open and everything.
