Falling For The Little Sister
More Than A Friend?
After Mr. Weasley asked them to get out of the water, they ran around on the beach playing a mini game of tag in attempts to dry off faster. They ended the game when Ron ran straight into a large old man. He was so angry at Ron that he chased him a ways down the beach. Ron recovered from shock eventually.
When they stopped, they went back over to Mr. Weasley who announced that they needed to go home in order to be back in time for dinner. He hinted to the four teens that they would all enjoy it, but none of them caught on. Not even Hermione.
They all started walking back towards the shop they had arrived in. When they got over to the fireplace, Mr. Weasley sent Fred and George through first. They were followed by Hermione and Ginny. Harry and Ron arrived last without any problems.
A little pop announced that Mr. Weasley had just apparated home. He told the kids to go upstairs and change for dinner. Fred and George stayed behind for a moment so that their dad could speak with them.
"Now boys, I'm just telling you now, so you will know for later. Your mother is packing the others a picnic for dinner tonight. You'll not be bothering them, is that understood?"
They nodded and Fred said, "Not to worry dad, we were going to go out and look for a flat tonight anyways. Ever since the other one flooded, Angelina and Alicia have been down out necks to find a new one."
"So we won't be here at all for dinner, let alone to pester out dear little siblings and their friends." Finished George.
"Alright. You'd better get going then. Good luck with the search."
Fred and George disapperated from the room and Mr. Weasley walked away to find his wife.
Up in Ginny's room, her and Hermione were trying to decide what to wear for dinner. They had each secretly wanted to impress one of the boys.
Hermione had chosen to wear a light yellow sundress that went down to just passed her knees and flared out a little bit at the waist. Ginny chose a light pink skirt that reached her knees, with a plain white tank top that showed off her curves.
They stood together in front of a mirror and decided that they looked pretty good.
"So, do we go downstairs now or wait to be called?" Asked Hermione.
"Wait to be called." Answered Ginny.
"Alright. Until then... What did you think about that blonde girl at the beach who was chatting with Ron and Harry?" Said Hermione.
"Oh my GOD!" Exclaimed Ginny. "She was horrible! I felt so sorry for Harry. He looked so uncomfortable!"
"Um, Gin?" Hermione asked quietly. "Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure..." Ginny said with slight apprehension.
"You have to answer me truthfully okay?"
"Of course Hermione. I would never like to you."
"Thanks Ginny. Well, um, do you like Harry?"
Ginny stood right up and with a look of terror on her face said, "Why? You don't like him do you?!"
"Calm down Ginny! No, I don't like him. Anymore than a friend that is. But do you like him?"
"As a friend yeah."
"As more than a friend?"
"Um, well, maybe?"
"Do you or don't you Gin?"
"Yeah I do. But you can't say anything!"
"I won't. I promise." Spoke Hermione.
Ginny suddenly grinned. "Hey, Hermione? Do you like my brother?" She asked with a knowing smile.
"Yes." Mumbled Hermione. "And don't you dare say anything either!"
"I promise!"
Right then they heard Mrs. Weasley call them down for dinner.
When the girls entered the kitchen, they saw that Harry and Ron were already there. Harry looked up at Ginny and smiled. Ginny blushed and then smiled back at him.
"Now," started Mrs. Weasley. "for dinner I've packed you four a picnic. You're not to go off the property though. And you have to be back before it's dark. Understood?"
They chorused "Yes Mrs. Weasley." and "Yes Mum."
"Good. There's a blanket in the basket for you to sit on." She handed the basket to Ron.
"Off you go then. Be careful and have fun!"
The four of them walked away from the house to find a good spot to lay out the blanket and eat.
Alrighty, hopefully this will work, I'm fixing up this chapter, and hoping that it will just replace the old one. All I did was make a few spelling changes. So, thanks to my beta, Laelena, for doing that for me. Hope you enjoy the rest of it! -- Amie
