A/N: Alright, let me explain something. The reason I have this story under Harry/Ginny is because I honestly do not know who Hermione is going to choose. Hell, she may not end up with either one. Who knows with my wicked mind! So please don't yell at me if I don't have enough H/G action. I hope you all still enjoy the story! Now here is Chapter 11!
Chapter 11: Dinner at the Burrow: Part One
Ginny stood stunned for a moment taking in what was happening in front of her. Ron was kissing Hermione, but Hermione wasn't pushing him away. She was enjoying it. Ron must be a hell of a kisser, 'Eww', she shook to attention. She cleared her throat loudly. Suddenly, Hermione pulled away. She looked at Ron, back at Ginny. Then, slowly she turned back to Ron who had a rather large grin on his face. She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. She felt a sudden surge of rage. In a flash, she slapped her right hand across Ron's face. She ran quickly to her room and slammed the door.
Ron turned to his sister, "Why the bloody hell did she do that?" he asked as he rubbed his face.
Ginny laughed, "Not sure, but I would put some ice on that, if it was as hard as it sounded, you may have a rather large handprint across your face. And we don't want mum fussing over you all night," Ginny patted a hand on her brother's shoulder. She was trying hard to contain her laughs. She moved past him and to Hermione's door. She turned back to Ron, "Go on to the Burrow, we will see you there," and at that she walked through the doorway.
Ron stood staring at Hermione's door. He was about to walk in when Harry appeared from around the corner, "Hey mate, you ready? I am starving."
"Yeah, um, Harry?"
"What's up Ron? Why is your face all red?"
"Hermione slapped me."
Harry held back a laugh, "What? Why did she do that?"
Ron shrugged his shoulders, "I guess I stunned her a bit with that kiss."
Harry's eye's widened, "Kiss? You kissed her?"
"Yep, sure did. I think she liked it though."
"She liked it? Huh, funny, guess Ginny doesn't like my kisses. I never got slapped after a good snog."
Ron lowered his head, "Let's get to the Burrow, I am hungry."
--------
"Ginny! What the hell am I suppose to do? Why the hell did he do that?"
Ginny sat on Hermione's bed watching her pace back and forth, "Well, you enjoyed it didn't you?"
Hermione stopped quickly and glared at her, "Why the hell would you think that?"
"You didn't pull away too quickly. You looked to be enjoying it."
Hermione fell onto the bed, "Ginny, I did, I did like it. What the hell? What am I suppose to do? Malfoy and Ron, I mean, Arggh!" Hermione covered her face with a pillow.
Ginny looked at her friend with deep sympathy, "I suppose you have a decision to make. In the meantime, can we get to the Burrow, I am close to eating my arm off."
Hermione took in a deep breath, "Yes, let's get going. But if your brother so much as looks at me," Hermione sat up quickly, "Let's just go."
The two girls stood from the bed. Ginny walked over to Hermione and took her into a large hug, "Hermione, this is going to be hard. Just know I am here for you and I will try to help you as much as I can. This is your decision though 'mione, you make this decision for you, alright." Hermione nodded and pulled away from Ginny. She now had tears in her eyes. Ginny gave her a sympathetic smile, "Go with your heart Hermione."
Ginny stepped away from her and they both apparated.

Harry and Ron appeared in the Weasley's living room, one after the other.
"Oh Ron, dear, there you are," Molly moved over to the boys and took them into a hug, "Do you know when the girls are coming?" she asked
"Should be any minute, where's dad?" asked Ron.
At this, Molly formed a large smile on her face, "I have a surprise for you, both of you. Go on in the back yard, he's out there," Molly spoke excitedly.
Harry and Ron looked curiously at each other then proceeded to the back, "What do you suppose is going on," asked Harry.
"Don't know mate-"the boys reached the back door, "Bloody Hell! George! Fred!" Ron's twin brothers turned to see their youngest brother.
"Hey Ron! Hey Harry!"
The four men said their greetings, "When did you two get back from Japan?" asked Harry.
"Just this morning," said Fred, "Moody's sent back all the British Aurors out of the East. Feels we weren't needed out there anymore."
"That's great, so you guys are back here for good then?" asked Ron.
"Sure are," said Fred, "But I don't know about George here, he may want to get back to his Japanese Flower," Fred winked at them.
George smacked Fred on the back of his head, "Quiet Fred, I have no Japanese Flower."
"OH, I don't know if Suki would like it if she knew you said that."
"Suki? George, you found yourself a girl over there, congrats," said Harry
"Quiet, I don't want mum to know just yet," whispered George. He smiled slowly, "but Suki is a real charmer. Smartest witch I've ever met, well next to Hermione anyway. I would love to go back and see her again."
Before anyone had a chance to respond, a large squeal was heard and the men turned to the noise, it was Ginny followed quickly by Hermione, "FRED! GEORGE! Oh this is wonderful," Ginny ran and jumped into her brother's arms, "This is so wonderful."
Hermione greeted the twins with hugs, "When did you get back?"
"Just this morning," answered Ron.
Hermione turned her head and glared at him, "I wasn't talking to you Ron," and she turned back to George, "How is it over there? I heard it was just beautiful."
"George wouldn't know about the scenery, he was 'inside' most of the time," quipped Fred.
George glared at his brother, "Shut it Fred, before I stuff a fist up your- "
"DINNER'S READY!"
----------
Molly looked up from her plate to see everyone enjoying their meals. She smiled, "I am so glad to have you all back, this is just wonderful!" she began to get a bit choked up.
Everyone smiled at her, "Good to be home, mum," said Fred.
"So, Fred, George, how is Japan? The ladies pretty over there?" asked Mr. Weasley.
"Arthur!" shouted Molly.
The table laughed, "The ladies are quite lovely, dad. Just ask George."
George glared at Fred who had a large grin across his face.
"What's he talking about George," asked Molly, "Did you meet a young lady?"
George turned beet red, "Nothing mum, he doesn't know what he is talking about."
Molly looked curiously at him, she opened her mouth but was cut off by Hermione, "So, Ginny, did you tell your mum and dad the good news?"
Ginny's eyes widened, as did Harry's and Ron's. Molly looked at her only daughter with a smile, "What is it Ginny? Something with work?" she asked.
"No, about you and Harry, Ginny," Harry choked on his food. Everyone else at the table was looking curiously at Ginny.
"Hermione," she said quietly, "There is no good news, what are you-"
"I knew it! It's a long time coming," George stood and went to Harry and patted him on the back, "Good for you mate, now you can officially be a Weasley brother!"
The table was in complete silence, with the exception of Harry choking on his food. Ron hit Harry on the back, "Thanks, mate."
"What is going on Ginny dear? Are you and Harry, a- a couple?" Molly asked quietly.
Hermione quickly realized the mistake she had made, "Umm, uh," she looked around desperately, but it was too late, she had blown it, "Sorry Gin," she lowered her head shamefully.
Ginny sat up, "It's alright Hermione. It's just quicker than we wanted anyone to know," she winked at Hermione and turned to her mother, "yes mum, dad, Harry and I are together. We realized shortly after he got back that out feelings for each other were too strong to ignore. We are in love."
Everyone looked at the end of the table to Mr. and Mrs. Weasley waiting for the eruption.
