The Greatest Battle Chapter 2:
Harry landed with a dull thud in the fireplace of the Burrow. He quickly dusted himself off as he stepped out of the fireplace to the squeals of three women. "Harry!" Mrs. Weasley squealed as she embraced him in one of her bone crushing hugs,"How wonderful to see you again. I hope we didn't startle you with our note, I know it sounded like it was urgent but we just couldn't wait to see you!"
"Thanks." Harry said as she released her vice grip around his body and let him breathe. His ability to breathe was short lived however as two more people ran up to squeeze the life out of him
"Oh my God Harry," Hermione and Ginny both exclaimed as they hugged him, "it's so great to see you" and they released him although Ginny remained hugging him for a moment longer than Hermione did.
"Thank you, it's really great to see you all...." He was cut off by the sight of Ginny. He really hadn't got a good look at her until just now and he suddenly noticed how nice she looked in her muggle outfit which consisted of a just shorter than knee length summer dress and a pair of thong sandals. She must have noticed him looking because she blushed suddenly and sat down on the couch leaving plenty of room for someone. He also noticed out of the corner of his eye Ron entering the room and quickly turned his gaze away from the girl sitting on the couch.
"Harry, your here! Bloody hell (Mrs. Weasley glared daggers at him for swearing) I didn't realize Hedwig was that fast. She showed up a few days ago with your letter and wouldn't leave until she approved of what I sent to you, then she flew off and mum fire-called dad to tell him to have your house added to the floo for the next few days so that whenever Hedwig got there you could pack up and leave right away. She must not have stopped the entire trip back though because I only sent you the note late last night."
"Well, dear," Mrs. Weasley interrupted "Please sit down, lunch should be ready soon" Harry moved over to the couch and sat down next to Ginny while he noticed that Ron and Hermione looked very comfortable in the position they were in with Hermione sitting between Ron's legs leaning back against his chest. Ginny looked at him and rolled her eyes, "They've been at it all summer, I swear if I walk in on them snogging one more time I'm going to be sick"
Harry simply looked at her, not wanting to think about what she had just said because of the images it may produce in his mind however he laughed at her comment which in turn made her smile. His heart gave a small flutter and he gave her a smile in return, he also noticed that when she smiled her whole face seemed to light up as though someone suddenly made nothing matter but that look, he couldn't believe that he hadn't noticed it before. Suddenly Mrs. Weasley's voice rang out that it was time for lunch and they all filed into the kitchen where Harry noticed for the first time that Fred and George weren't there, he supposed they must be working at the shop. The Weasley Wizarding Wheezes had taken off like a rocket ever since the twins had left Hogwarts in Harry's fifth year. He took a seat at the table and suprisingly, Ginny sat next to him. No one seemed to notice however as the 5 of them began to eat the small lunch of salad and sandwiches. Harry was home again and he found himself daydreaming of playing quidditch again but was suddenly brought back to reality by the feel of a leg rubbing up his own. He looked over to Ginny who pointedly looked away as she continued to play footsie with him. After lunch everyone cleared off. Ron and Hermione went off to take a "walk" as they had told Mrs. Weasley who looked at them knowingly and sent them off, Harry walked out of the kitchen through the back door and began to stroll around the back yard when a pair of soft hands covered his eyes playfully.
"Hello Ginny" Harry said as he grabbed her wrists and uncovered his eyes
"How'd you know it was me!" She said in false irritation
"Well I would hope your mother wouldn't flirt with me and I'm pretty sure Hermione is a bit preoccupied with your brother to sneak up behind me, and none of the guys I know would have hands this soft. So it had to be you. Anyway did you want to walk with me?" He asked hesitantly not knowing for sure what her reaction would be.
"O.K fine ill walk with you." As she said this she stealthily slid her hand into his and intertwine their fingers. Harry didn't object as they began to walk around the peaceful property of the Weasley family.
Before long they realized that they were somehow deep into the woods behind Ginny's house and decided to head back to the Burrow seeing as it would be supper time soon. The whole time neither one's hand left the others. They arrived back at the house just in time for dinner as Mrs. Weasley fussed at the twins who had apparently charmed the table to make the food disappear when it was laid on it. They reversed the charm and apologized to their mother who had a look on her face that would make one of Professor McGonagall's worst glares look like a bright smile. The twins avoided making eye contact with her for the rest of the night.
During dinner Ginny again sat next to Harry, only this time it did not go unnoticed, the twins had made sure of that the first time that Harry and Ginny had made eye contact, what was so strange was that the entire time Ginny didn't respond to their teasing but completely ignored it. After the meal, as everyone began to leave to their respected homes and rooms, Harry was pulled aside by the twins, "Harry," Fred began "We saw the way you and Ginny were looking at each other and we just want to give you a word of advice"
"Yes, advice" George followed, "what we mean to say is don't give us any reason to have to kill you."
"Mum really seems to like you and so does Ginny so we don't want any reason for them to release their wrath on us, besides we like you too." Fred continued without missing a beat of the conversation
"We know that you two will probably be snogging like lovesick teenagers..."
"But no shagging, or we might just have to hurt you OK, not to mention I doubt Ron would be too pleased, and he's quite a bit bigger than us."
This was certainly true, Ron was a good 6 foot 3 and nearly 200 pounds of muscle.
"I understand, and don't worry I wont be shagging her, especially not with that threat." Harry said as he looked them both in the eye in turn
"Good, well see you then!" and with a pop the twins departed.
Later that night as Harry laid in bed he heard the door creak open, assuming it was Ron he sat up but was suprised to see the sight of Ginny. "I think Ron will be busy all night and I don't much feel like listening to them go at it so I was wondering if I could sleep in here" she asked nervously
"Sure" Harry said, not realizing what he had just said as she laid down in Ron's bed and covered up. Sometime after he had drifted off into sleep she climbed into the bed with Harry and curled up against him and fell into the welcoming warmth of him and slept.
Harry woke up in the middle of the night to a wonderful scent of vanilla and opened his eyes to see Ginny. It was going to be a long rest of the summer Holiday.
A/N: I hope that you like this chapter a little bit more than my first, because I know I sure had more fun writing it. PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!! thanks.
