Disclaimer: No, I do not own Harry Potter. I know it's upsetting, but please take a couple of deep breaths and proceed to read my story!
The Summer After "The Truth"
Chapter 7: 'That Cow!'
It had been a couple of days since Bill found out about Harry and Ginny and no one else had found out about them. Harry and Ginny were meeting in secret and those that knew covered for them. Everything was going well, until the morning when the Daily Prophet arrived.
"Come on kids! It is time for breakfast!" Nine people then came thumping down the stairs. Just then Errol came in and dropped the Daily Prophet in Mrs. Weasley's cereal and he flopped down in an empty chair. Molly picked up the paper and while she read her brow furrowed and she looked very angry. After she had read the article, she dropped it on the ground and called for Arthur. "Arthur, come down here! There is something that we need to discuss!" When he didn't come down, she ran upstairs to go get him.
Harry picked up the paper, wanting to see what had gotten Molly so mad. This was the article on the front page:
Harry Potter's Secret Love
By: Rita Skeeter
This inquisitive reporter has found out about Harry Potter's new girlfriend. That is correct; Harry has fallen in love with none other than Ginerva Weasley, the daughter of Arthur Weasley who works in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts office in the Ministry. They have been dating for three months, since the first of April. It is also common knowledge among the students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that Harry saved Ginerva from Tom Riddle (You-Know-Who) in his second year and her first.
Here are some opinions from very respected students and staff at Hogwarts:
Draco Malfoy (Head Boy and Seventh Year Slytherin): Harry Potter has always had lousy taste in girls. In our fourth year, he dated Muggle born, Hermione Granger. Now he is dating Muggle loving Ginny Weasley. I went out with her last year and she was horrible, she ran out on me in the middle of our date, and it hurt me very much.
Professor Severus Snape (Potions Master): Harry Potter has been crossing lines ever since he set foot in this school. I just feel sorry for Ginny, he must have her under a spell. I wouldn't put it past him. I mean, who would fall in love with him of their own free will?
Pansy Parkinson (very pretty Seventh Year Slytherin): Ginny Weasley is a very ugly girl, I mean she was horrible to my current boyfriend, Draco. I just wonder what Potter could see in this girl.
Professor Dumbledore (Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry): I believe that whatever romance going on between Harry and Ginny concerns him and Miss. Weasley.
Again Professor Dumbledore is withholding information and I for one hope he will look into the possibility of Harry having Ginerva Weasley under a spell. This reporter will look further into this case and get to the bottom of it. Until then, I suggest to Ginerva Weasley to break it off with the dangerous and violent Harry Potter.
Following the article was a picture of Harry giving a kiss to Ginny.
Hermione, who had been reading over Harry's shoulder along with Ron and Ginny exclaimed, "That cow! How could she write something so vicious? Ooh, I hate that woman."
"Oh, Harry you were right, we should have told my parents."
"Gin, it's alright. You were scared, I'm sure your parents will understand," he said this as he put an arm around her.
Ginny now had silent tears flowing done her face, "Harry, I don't want to lose you. I love you and my parents are going to be so mad," Ginny sobbed.
Harry pulled her into a warm embrace. "It is alright, I'm sure they'll understand. I love you too, and that is all that matters to me."
"Harry's right dear. We heard everything and all I can say is that I give you my blessing," at this Molly pulled both Harry and Ginny into a bone breaking hug.
"Yes Harry, we couldn't pick a better boyfriend for Ginny," Arthur added as he shook Harry's hand.
"Just take care of my sister, although I don't really condone this relationship, if she is going to be in a relationship it mine as well be with you," Percy told Harry.
"Er, thanks – I think," Harry responded while Ginny giggled.
"Thanks for being so understanding guys, I have the best family," Ginny told her parents and siblings.
On September 1st, Harry and Ginny were on the Hogwarts Express again, except this time they had no secrets. Everyone knew about them and they wouldn't have it any other way. They looked forward to the future where they could be together and not hide a thing.
The End
A/N: Well, that is it, this is the end of the story, I'm probably going to make a sequel, but I don't know what I'm going to call it. Please read and review. I'd also like to thank all the people that have reviewed my story:
