Hi. Well I said that I would update after a week, and I am. I wrote this chapter even before I put chapter 4 up and I was hoping to get it on the website before today but no such luck. I couldn't be bothered to type it up and my dad was using the computer most of the week. I was even off school on Tuesday and Wednesday with a chest infection and I still didn't type it up. It's here now though because I felt it was my duty to post it. Sorry if you are impatient and hated waiting. Enjoy the latest chapter. Luv Sexy Seeker.

Chapter 5

Harry and Ginny pushed the portrait hole open. Sitting on the couch in the middle of the room were two people, whose faces were hidden by each others. The only way you were able to tell who they were was by their hair. Bright red and incredibly bushy brown. For Harry it wasn't a sight he wanted to be seeing and he was sure that Ginny wouldn't wan to se it either. He looked over at her and sure enough her face was screwed up in disgust.

She put down the open box she was carrying, looked over at Harry and said: "I thought you said that they would be worried about me?" Harry shrugged. The sound of her voice had not been acknowledged by the attached pair. She smiled wickedly and put a finger to her mouth to silence him. Harry fought the erge to laugh as she reached for the tiny kitten and creeped over to his two best friends.

Ginny was shaking with silent laughter. She walked as quietly as she could and the kitten, who seemed to know something important was happening, stayed still and hushed in Ginny's arms.

Just before Ginny was about to put the kitten on Hermione's back she pulled her lips apart from Ron's to breathe. Ron opened his eyes and yelled. Hermione was shocked and leapt up. Her head collided with Ginny's arm and she screeched.

"OW!"

"Arghh!"

"What the - BLOODY HELL!"

All the time this was happening, Harry was standing away from them, wetting himself laughing. The kitten had been dropped onto the sofa when head hit arm and he was now sitting on the arm of the chair, mewing above all the noise.

Once Hermione had recovered, she saw the kitten and gushed. "Oh my god. He's so sweet. Harry, I hate you!" She picked up Smudge or Dusty and held him in front of her nose. "Aww!"

"WHAT? Why do you hate me?"

"Because you got Ginny a gorgeous kitten and you didn't get me one." Her eyebrows were raised and Ron looked was staring at her with a bemused look on his face. "What's his name?" She directed at Ginny.

"He doesn't have one yet. I was thinking either Smudge or Dusty." Ginny replied proudly. "Um, you guys, I'm -" She looked over at Harry for support but he just nodded at her. She sighed. "I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier. I was a class 'A' bitch. A class 'A' jealous Bitch."

"You were jealous? Why?" Ron asked incredulously.

"Because it's obvious how much you guys love each other."

Both Ron and Hermione went tomato red.

"It's true you know. It is really obvious. Only you guys don't know it." They both looked sheepish as Harry said it.

"Anyway, like I said, I'm really sorry and I hope you don't hate me. I couldn't stand it if you guys weren't talking to me." She smiled sadly. "But I would totally understand if you didn't, talk to me that is."

"Ginny." Hermione walked over to her and put her free arm, the other still holding the kitten, around Ginny's shoulders. "We love you. We would never not talk to you. Right Ron?" She looked at her new snog partner.

Ron jumped at his name being used. "Of course Gin. You're my baby sis -"

"Excuse me?"

"Um - favourite sister." Ron continued. "I love you more than I love Hermione." Harry winced. He shouldn't have said that.

"Digging a very deep hole Ron!" Hermione said coolly.

"But I love 'Mione in an entirely different way." She seemed to accept this response. "What I'm trying to say is if I stopped talking to you I would die of boredom. And mum would probably kill anyway." He smiled at her and put an arm around his sister. Harry sat on the sofa and started to relax. "Harry get up here." Hermione put Smudge or Dusty on a nearby table and they all shared a group hug.

"Thank you." Ginny said tearfully when they had all pulled apart. "I love you guys too." She bent don t pick up her new kitten but he was immediately take from her by Ron. "Hey! What are you doing?" She asked angrily.

"What did you say his name was?" Ron replied as if he hadn't heard her protest. "He's quite cute."

"Quite cute! He's gorgeous. He can't have just any old name. It has too be special. Right Gin?" Hermione grabbed the cat and cradled him in her arms.

"Yeah. It has to be special. I was thinking either Smudge or Dusty. You need to help me choose."

"Smudge." Was Hermione's opinion.

And "Dusty." Was decided by Ron.

"How about you toss a galleon to decide." Harry suggested.

"Hey that's a great idea, Harry! Whose got a galleon?" Ginny looked around at her friends and brother.

"Sorry none."

"I don't carry them with me. Sorry Gin."

And "Since when did I have any bloody galleons?" were the replies.

"Okay. So scrap that idea. Now how do I decide?"

Hermione sat down heavily, thinking. "You could ask him which one he likes."

"Don't be stupid 'Mi. He can't exactly tell us." Ron said sceptically.

"He can't tell us with words but he can with actions." She snapped. "We put him on the floor, Ginny calls out either name and which ever he responds to, is what we call him."

"Great. You're a genius Hermione. Put him on the floor." Hermione did as she was told. Ginny got the kitten's attention by clicking her fingers. "Smudge?" Ginny tried again but the kitten just stared blankly at her. "Okay. How about - Dusty? Dusty?" nothing, again. "Now what do I do?"

"Try again. Just to be sure."

"Right. Dusty?" Nothing.

"Try Smudge."

"Yup. Smudge?" This time he reacted. Hermione and Ginny screeched. Harry and Ron shared a look. "Smudge it is then." The newly named Smudge mewed again and they all burst out laughing.

A/N: There it is. That is going to be the last chapter actually on Ginny's birthday. Next chapter will be a few days later. When things start to get a bit more complicated. Did you like it? I had a lot of reviewers telling me to use Smudge and only one said Dusty. One even told me to keep it as SmudgeorDusty. It's definitely original which is what Ginny wanted.

I don't really know what else to tell you. My chest infection is getting better and I only have to take my antibiotics until Monday. I have lots of homework this week and as I haven't yet written chapter 6 it will probably be ages until I can update. Sorry if you are disappointed but I will try my best to post as soon as possible.

REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW! Is the finally message I have for you.

Luv Sexy Seeker.
