A/N: Hey everyone! I can't even believe how many reviews I got on chapter sixteen! Even more than on chapter 15! That's so awesome! You guys seriously rock!
xauroraborealisx: Ah thanks! I'm glad you liked the chapter! It was cool to write it, probably one of my favorites. Haha I loved writing the part where she's like, no seats…Cause that's something I'd say too. Lol
The Flying Moose: Haha yes she does!
Miss Hogwarts: Mine are too! I get caught in so many situations. Lol
Alexnadra5: lol gentleman-y. I like that. He is a gentle man…most of the time. Lol
blink gulr017: Yay! Go you and us! Lol We do definitely rock! Haha yeah that probably is good that you can't understand him. Lol My French teacher is so weird. She's insane. Yesterday we played this hilarious number game. It was so stupid; this guy I'm friends with was like, yes! the number game! Lol Hahahaha I always break out into song at the most random moments. My best friend and I always start singing Your Song from Moulin Rouge, in the middle of stores. We're like "MY GIFT IS MY SONG! And this one's for you." Lol. Yay I love long reviews! They make me feel so special! Lol. It would basically suck to be Ginny right now. Lol Haha but it'd be amazing to be her when she kisses Harry is right! Lucky bitch. Lol. Yaya! I'm so glad that I am the receiver of your longest review ever! Now I really feel special! Lol You get a cookie! J
OExpecto PatronumO: Haha I always say sitcheeeations. Dude I'd so be like Ginny too! Lol I would be messing up spells and tripping everywhere. But I can be sassy when I want to be too. Just not usually. Lol.
Maraudergrl99: Yeah I'm giving Ginny a pretty hard time. Lol. Yay! I'm glad you found funny parts last chapter! Lucky you! You got to see Something Corporate! Oh my gosh Konstantine is amazing. It so freakin long though. Like almost eight minutes. Lol I shall definitely get your email from your profile! I wonder why mine didn't show up? Hmmm that's quite odd. I hope you had fun eating your ice cream! Lol I love ice cream so much. I could eat like 10 gallons by myself. Lol.
Darkflower2113: Damn those assignments. I hate them. Lol. I've only been in school a week, and I already have so much crap to do. Hmmm good point about Jesus Christ. I sort of slip that in there cause I often say it. It's quite a bad habit. But Rowling does have them celebrateChristmas in the books. So that's a good question. I've always thought since Arthur Weasley is so obsessed with Muggles, he maybe told her the story or whatever. I don't know. I'm not making much sense anymore. Lol. But thanks for pointing that out!
Amanda: Haha thank you so much for the three reviews! That's freakin awesome! Yay! I'm so glad that my story made you smile! Yeah I agree about Slash. I have nothing against gay people either. But it's just so out of character and I don't like reading it. Well keep trying to write! You'll end up with something you love eventually! I think Harry and Ginny are PERFECTO too. Lol.
Cumorah: Thank you so much! It makes me happy to know that you think I'm a great writer! Haha Harry will kiss her soon! Haha The PLEASE? made me laugh. I'm glad you love it! J
Black Cherrie: Ah I'm so glad that you like the way it's going! Ginny did make quite a fool of herself. Dude no problem! A good story deserves good reviews and compliments! And yours does. J Haha the gasp thing was so funny. I hate my computer. I think it has like 50 viruses on it. Damned thing hasn't crashed yet. But I know it will. Probably at some time where I absolutely need it most. Cause my luck is completely like that. Lol.
The-insufferable-know-it-all: Haha I love your login name. I'm glad you think it's funny, and I appreciate the major compliment about my writing! J
Loves to Read: I don't know what I would have done if I were Harry in that situation. I would have wanted to melt into the floor, that's for sure. Lol. Don't worry they'll kiss soon! J
Hermione-Granger78: Thank you! I actually don't think I'll be doing anymore Harry's point of view. There's been a couple in earlier chapters, but the story's going to be finished soon anyway. But thank you so much for the suggestion!
seamusismyprince: Haha yeah Ginny screaming at Harry to kiss her again would probably not be a good idea. Lol.
Luvguurl: Thank you so much! It's good to hear that you think I'm a good author! I'm excited to read your story! I'm sure it will be great! Haha I'm glad you think my story's better than decent. Thanks for all the compliments! J

Irishdancer61790: Haha. Ginny got freakin pissed. Dude I'd never make the whole Harry slept with her situation. It's so overdone. At least for this story. Haha I would die of embarrassmenttoo. Harry should have been nice and said hello. Haha stupid guys is right. Lol. Thank you my faithful reader! Lol. J
JediPirateElfyDude: Lucky! But school wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. I actually had fun. Lol. Hope you like this chapter!
Future Mrs. Radcliffe: Yay! I'm so glad that you're going to keep reviewing! That makes me smile! J. See. Lol.
Future writer of America: Yay! I'm so glad my story makes you laugh! Oh my gosh I love the Georgia Nicholson books! I still haven't read the new one yet. Away Laughing On A Fast Camel.

And thanks to: Katie, harry's the best, Lauren, Amanda031, Ginevra Potter, and milky way bar! You guys are seriously amazing, and I thank you!
Hermione gave me a sympathetic smile, and then I headed upstairs. That's where I am now. Sitting on my bed writing. I think I'll go to sleep really early tonight. This day has been so exhausting and I just want it to be over. I hope things get better soon. But something in me tells me that they won't.
Chapter Seventeen: Aren't Howlers Wonderful?
September 22nd 2004, 11:17 am
Holy crap! Well, well. This turn of events has certainly brightened my mood. This morning at breakfast Ron got a Howler. From my dear mother. Oh how I owe her so much.
We were all sitting at the table in silence, when they owls began to fly in. Pig swooped down and started to fly around at rapid speed. He's a hyper little owl, he is. Pig dropped the Howler right into Ron's lap. I swear Ron's eyes looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets. Slowly, he reached down and picked it up. It was smoking, and Ron had no choice but to open it. In the next moment my mother's shrill screams were echoing throughout the Hall.
"RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU CALL YOUR OWN SISTER SUCH A TERRIBLE THING? YOU ARE OUT OF LINE YOUNG MAN, AND I'M THROUGHLY FURIOUS WITH YOU! AND EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED! YOU BETTER APOLOGIZE TO YOUR SISTER SOON, OR IT'LL BE YOUR HEAD!" my mother's scream finished.
Ron's face was the color of a tomato, and his ears were so red they looked like they were on fire. Everyone in the Hall was laughing hysterically. I was smirking triumphantly. The Howler then turned to me and spoke.
"Oh and Ginny dear, Congratulations on making the Quidditch team! I'm so proud of you. Be sure to keep up with your schoolwork. Love you." Her mother's voice said sweetly.
With that, the letter burst into flames. The ashes fell into Ron's lap. I glanced up at him, and saw that his face was even redder than before. If that was even possible. I resisted the urge to laugh out loud, and stood up.
"Well I'm leaving. Breakfast was lovely, wasn't it? I said in a saccharine voice.
I almost thought I saw Harry smirk, but in the next moment it was replaced by a blank expression. DAMN HIM! Why can't he just like me? Everything would be so much simpler. But he doesn't, and it's not. Which sucks. Really bad. Everytime I look at him I feel like crying. He basically rejected me. He could have kissed me by now. And he hasn't, which you know too well. Its so frustrating and heartbreaking knowing the person you love, doesn't love you back. I feel like crawling in a hole and never coming out. Yes that would work nicely. Although Hermione would probably convince me to come out. Worried about my health, blah blah blah. I mean I appreciate she's concerned, but Christ! She's practically shoving food down my throat. And it's not cool. Not at all. And Ron. Even thought I got great satisfaction at seeing his face as our family's hair, I'm so bloody sick of this stupid fight. I just want to end it. But I'll leave it up to him to do that, seeing as I did nothing to start it. I can't stop thinking about Harry. Even when I try to shove my brain full of other things. I woke up this morning hoping that I would finally be over him. Obviously that didn't happen. I'm afraid it never will.
7:30 pm
Ron came walking up to me after dinner with a sheepish look on his face.
"Look Ginny, I'm sorry. The things I said were wrong and I know that. I knew that when I said them. I was just so furious. But that doesn't give me an excuse."
"Are you sure you're not just apologizing so Mum won't chop your head off?"
"Yes I'm sure. I've wanted to apologize all week. Mum just knocked some sense into me." Ron said blushing.
"Why in the hell were you mad about Harry possibly having feelings for me?"
"Which he doesn't, by the way." I said sadly.
"I don't know. I'm a prat. I guess sometimes I still see you as the little ten year old girl begging to come to Hogwarts with me."
"But I'm not Ron. I'm older now and I can take care of myself."
"I know. And calling you a whore was way out of line. I just uh was mad about…" Ron trailed off.
"What? Continue."
"Well you're going to think I'm a complete stupid git, but I was angry at Hermione when I said that. I'd heard a rumor about her and some sixth year and I kind of flipped."
"Ron you are a complete twit! You know Hermione loves you and only you. As much as that disgusts me to say." I said with a slight smirk.
"Hey!" Ron said while lightly hitting my arm.
"And here's the even stupider part. I was sort of jealous of you. You were spending all this time with Harry. He's my best friend and I felt like I hadn't seen him in ages." Ron said quietly, blushing crimson.
"Ron! I never realized you harbored those kinds of feelings for Harry! It all makes so much sense now." I said jokingly.
"Oi. Shut it!" Ron said while trying to act stern. He ended up smiling.
"Is everything all right between us?" Ron asked timidly.
"Yes. I suppose it is." I said with a faint smile.
Ron then pulled me into a tight hug, taking me by surprise.
"I'm just trying to look out for you." Ron said sincerely.
"Yeah Yeah Yeah." I said with a playful roll of my eyes.
"But I've got to do homework in the library. I'll see you later oh so protective brother of mine." I said teasingly.
Ron flicked me off, all the while still smiling.
"You are insufferable." I said with a smirk.
"Yeah I get that quite a bit." He replied back grinning.
I walked out of the portrait hole with a chuckle. And now I'm sitting in the library trying and failing to complete a Potions essay. It's just so boring and tedious. I hate Potions. On another note, I'm glad Ron and I are on good terms again. It was getting unbearable to be honest. On top of everything else it was hard to deal with. And now that's all worked out. Now there's only one thing left. Harry.
