Chapter Four

What Ginny Knows

Neville woke quickly four days after he had written his letter to Ginny and had gotten her reply back. He rushed around the room throwing things into his trunk, packing as quickly as he could. Ginny was supposed to be there by mid-morning so he had to get ready and fix himself up. He didn't know when Luna would be coming. Maybe she'd arrive after him or before him or maybe they'd pick her up on the way back to The Burrow. Neville didn't know, so he would just have to make sure he was ready by the time Ginny came by Floo.

Running as fast as he could; once his trunk had been packed, he began 'enhancing his image'. Adding a little bit of gel to his hair, spiking it up, putting on his best casual robes and washing his face to the point of raw redness. Finally once he had re-gelled his hair he was finished. Walking downstairs he found that his gran was out, she must have left to get things ready for all the families trip to St. Mungo's.

After pacing the room no less then sixty seven times Neville thought it might be best if he sat down on the sofa, he was making himself sick. As he was just about to get up and start pacing again; sitting was making him nervous, Ginny appeared in the fire place.

'Neville! How are you? Is everything all right? What can we do to help? Are you all right? How are you feeling? Are mad? Sad? Do you even know what your feeling?' Ginny screeched as she threw her arms around him in a hug.

'Oops, Gin you'd better not let Harry see you on Neville like that. Hey Neville, how are things?' Ron stepped out from the fire place's depths, brushing ashes from his robes.

'Ron! I told you to stay with me! You know I hate traveling by Floo! My God! Couldn't you have done that one thing for me, Ron! You never listen to me!' Hermione shouts echoed off the stone walls of the fireplace as she too stepped into his living room.

'Erm ... yeah sorry, Mione.' Ron said sweetly as he helped Hermione brush ashes from her hair.

'Sorry? That's all you've got to say for yourself! Sorry!' Hermione breathed. Neville could sense a fight coming on, one he did not want to witness. He looked at his grandmother's favorite vase, which was sitting on the side table next to Hermione. He was praying she didn't throw it or break it.

'Er ... I love you?' Ron grinned down at her as he took her hand in his and pulled her close, kissing her quickly on the cheek.

'I love you too.' Hermione muttered, her cheeks turning very red as she locked eyes with Ron.

When had this happened? Neville was watching them with wide eyes. Normally Hermione would have yelled and slapped Ron, instead she was hugging and kissing him. What had happened during the summer to change there attitude towards each other.

'Are those to getting all lovey dovey again, Gin?' This time Harry stepped out of the stone fire place. Looking at his two best friends as though this kind of thing always took place with these two.

'Yes!' Ginny giggled, then seeing the look of confusion on Neville's face she explained, 'They started dating about three weeks ago. 'Bout time if you ask me! They've liked each other since first year! Now they're all over each other! Rather gross ... he is my brother and all. But really, they're so cute together and like I said, it's about time too!'

'We're not the only one's though, now are we Mione?' Ron grinned as he took a seat on the white sofa, which was now a thick gray from all the ash flying around the room.

'No, Ron, I don't think we are. Hmm but how would we know? They wont admit it.' Hermione smiled as Ron pulled her down onto the sofa with him.

'Oh please!' Ginny sighed, but Harry was pulling her towards him, holding her tight.

'Gin ... I think they're on to us.' Harry whispered in her ear, loud enough for them all to here.

'Aha! I knew it! I knew it! I told you, Mione! I told you.' Ron laughed as he watched his sister and his best friend closely.

'No, Ron. I told you. Up until three days ago you kept saying there was nothing going on ... even though we caught them in the broom closet twice ... erm 'just talking' right Ginny?' Hermione smirked at Ginny who turned a deep red.

'What I want to know is,' Harry paused for dramatic effect, 'why you two were opening the broom closet door in the first place!'

Hermione went pink again and Ron threw a pillow at Harry who ducked, causing the pillow to soar into a picture frame behind him.

'Guys! Be careful. It's not our house. Sorry Neville.' Ginny placed the picture back in its spot as she threw a look at Ron and Harry.

'Sorry Gin. Sorry!' The boys both respond in unison.

'Whatever, lets get going. Mum wants us all to be home for lunch. Quick, Neville have you got any Floo Powder? We've run out.' Ginny said as Ron and Harry went to pick up Neville's trunk from the floor next to the sofa.

'Oh yeah, hold on I'll get some.' Neville left the room quickly. Things had changed ... big time.

After spending about five minutes searching for the Floo Powder, which Neville's gran had hid at the start of summer because Neville had the tendency of spilling it all over the rug, they were finally ready to goto The Burrow.

'All right, Harry you first, with the trunk.' Harry kissed her on the cheek again and stepped into the green flames, saying The Burrow.

'So cute!' Hermione smiled, 'Ron why aren't you that sweet!'

'Uh ... I love you?' Ron grinned and kissed her. He seemed to know that those three little words would get him out of any kind of trouble with Hermione.

'Aw! I love you too!' Hermione kissed him quickly.

'All right, now you go Ron.' Ginny instructed them. She had grown a lot, usually she was shy and quiet around Harry ... now she was dating him. This would be a very interesting summer.

'Yes, Ron. Stay with me this time.' Hermione hissed as she grabbed his hand and they both stepped in, where Harry had been standing a few minutes ago. They both said The Burrrow and were gone in a flash of green flames.

'Neville?' Ginny said kindly as she moved towards the sofa where she sat down. It didn't look like they were going to leave anytime soon so Neville took a seat next to her. 'Listen, I know this must be really hard for you, and I know the last thing you want is to have four people acting as though the world is so wonderful and as if we couldn't live without our boyfriend or girlfriend. I'm really sorry. I know we shouldn't be acting like that, and we're all going to try our best to keep in mind everything that you must be feeling -'

Neville couldn't stand any more of Ginny's little pep talk, 'Gin! Please, I don't want your pity! I'm fine, really! I'm so glad you and Harry are dating, I know how much you liked him, and I'm really happy Ron and Hermione are together! They've been in love since they first met! So don't worry about me, I'm fine and I'm happy for you guys! Plus Luna's coming over right?' He smiled, 'When you, Ron, Hermione, and Harry are out doing couple stuff I'll hang out with her. She seems nice, right?'

Ginny gave him an odd look then smirked, 'Very nice. Yeah, you guys can spend time together, get to know her better. It'll be fun.'

She got up from the sofa and took some Floo Powder in her hand, 'Come on.' She threw the Powder down and said The Burrow as Neville followed her into the flames.

Ginny seemed to think she knew how he felt for Luna and maybe she did, although he hoped she didn't. Knowing Ginny, though, she did.
