The Greatest Battle Chapter 5

Harry and Ginny sat on the hill for what seemed like only minutes to them, but time being as it is seems to go faster when you don't want it to. This was proven when Ron and Hermione walked up and cleared their throats loudly startling both of them. "You do realize that you've been out here for almost three hours and Mum is about to have kittens because she can't find you?" Ron asked this in a voice that would have been comical if they didn't know he was right. "I suggest you go back to the house and beg for forgiveness before she murders both of you for making her so worried."

"You're out here" Ginny finally spoke up and from the indignant tone of her voice she obviously thought Ron was being hypocritical. "You two are out here until all hours of the night all the time."

"But we don't get caught, do we?" Ron's tone was light, obviously not caring that his sister knew about his late night rendezvous with Hermione. "Now go inside please before Mum comes out here herself and yells at everyone." Harry could see that Ginny was obviously considering the consequences of each choice. On one hand if they stayed, they would have some more time Simi-alone (Harry was pretty sure he knew why Hermione and Ron were out here) but they would also have not only the wrath of her mother but that of Ron and Hermione because they had caused them to have to find another spot to go to, but if they went in they would only have to explain that they lost track of time and they could always find somewhere in the house to go now that Percy's room was empty except for a few boxes and the twins wouldn't be home for hours. At the same time Harry and Ginny reached the conclusion that they should go and walked away towards the house hand in hand.

When they arrived back at the Burrow they found that Ron had not been exaggerating about Mrs. Weasley's mood. When they first walked in the kitchen door she leaped at them and embraced them in a tight hug saying many things along the line of "Thank goodness your OK" and "Oh, I was worried sick." When she released them however her mood changed from thankfulness that they were home to stern anger. "Explain," she said this in a calm voice that was more frightening then any scream or shout she could have released on them.

"Mum-" Ginny started but was cut off by Harry

"It was my fault Mrs. Weasley. We went for a walk and sat down for a bit and I lost track of time. I'm sorry, it won't happen again." Harry didn't want a row to occur between Ginny and her mother so he tried to make it sound like it was his fault, which was partially true considering he was the only one who had a watch on besides Hermione. Ginny looked at him shocked for a moment before turning back to her mother to see her reaction. At first Mrs. Weasley looked shocked but she quickly regained her composure and temper. "It certainly won't happen again. Harry you should know better than to stay out when there are Death Eaters out looking for you. Oh well, no harm done. Ron and Hermione are already in bed and if you two are smart you'll get your selves there too.

"Wha-" Harry, who was about to say that Ron and Hermione were outside was silenced by Ginny stepping on his foot as Mrs. Weasley turned and looked at Harry quizzically but shrugged it off and continued to walk up the stairs. When they didn't hear any more footsteps Ginny looked at him and said, "You almost blew it!"

"Blew what?" Harry asked quietly.

"Our blackmail on Ron and Hermione, duh." Suddenly it clicked with Harry. His two best friends had been sneaking out ever since he had arrived and maybe before then. As Harry was thinking about this, trying to keep his mind from forming images he didn't want there, his eyes fell upon a calendar on the wall. Glancing at his watch he saw that it was 11:59 on July 30. As he looked at the calendar he saw something he hadn't seen before. An X was forming across the 30 on the calendar and as it his watch beeped out that it was officially his seventeenth birthday. The first thing he saw as an official adult in the wizarding world was Ginny swooping down on him to kiss him.

A/N: I know I have a knack for ending things on a romantic note but they seem to be good stopping points. And for those of you who are afraid this is just gonna be a fluff story don't worry there will be action I'm just trying to fluff things up a bit for right now until I decide what I really want to happen in the later chapters. Right now I have a general idea but its nothing too good yet. It will be introduced and worked on soon though I promise. REVIEW!!!!!!!
