The Summer After "The Truth"

Ginny was interrupted by the door opening, "What would Mum and Dad rather hear from you?" asked a curious Bill at the door.

Chapter 6: Bugged

"Well, er, you see, Harry and I are together, we've been dating for a few months now. How do you feel about that?" Ginny said lamely.

"No, need to fret; I think it's wonderful that you two are together. I thought there was something between you two, but anyway, I think Harry is right, you need to tell our parents; they'd rather hear it from you," Bill told his little sister.

"See Gin, Bill thinks we should tell your parents too."

"No Harry, now's not the time. We'll tell them when I'm ready," Ginny said firmly.

"But, when will be the time?"

Ginny chose to ignore him and instead turned to Bill, "so, you're alright with Harry and me dating because I know you're my oldest brother and might feel a little over-protective."

"Absolutely not, you're fifteen and anyway it is Harry we're talking about. However, I do have one question."

"Ask away," Ginny replied.

"Exactly how long have you been together?"

"Since the 1st of April, which makes it 3 months today."

"Wow, you did a lousy job of keeping this a secret," Bill replied.

"Gee, thanks for the information," replied Ginny sarcastically.

"Any time."

"Hey guys, I hate to break up this little conversation, but I'm hungry and it's time for dinner," interrupted Ron.

"Hmph," Hermione scoffed as she dragged him out of the room. The others soon followed except for Ginny and Harry.

"Well, he took it astoundingly well," Ginny commented.

"All of your siblings are taking it well," Harry replied. "You know it's because they love you and trust your judgment."

"Maybe you're right, but I want to wait just a little bit longer to tell my parents. Is that alright with you?"

"It's your family and it's up to you," Harry said and then placed a light kiss on her lips. "Let's go to dinner," and with that they left.

Unbeknownst to them, however, a small beetle was sitting on the windowsill and had seen and heard the whole conversation.

A/N: Do you know who the beetle is? I bet you do. I'd like to thank the people that have reviewed the last chapter:
