Okay everyone! Wow I have over two hundred reviews! I can't believe it! I really love getting feed back. If you have any questions about the story just ask. Now I'm sorry to everyone who wants Harry and Ginny to get together right away... I enjoy writing about the sexual tension a much more so bear with me and I assure you that eventually Harry and Ginny will become a couple! This chapter won't focus on Harry and Ginny as much as the others. Now back to the story...

Frustrations all around

It had been three weeks since Harry had kissed Ginny; and neither of them has mentioned anything. Ron had gone back to Hermione's to get his things ready for school and to avoid the sexual tension. Harry and Ginny had barley spoken two words to each other since "the incident". Fred and George had stopped coming by as often and even Mr. and Mrs. Weasley couldn't stand the tension anymore.

Ginny sat outside on the back porch watching the stars when an owl fluttered down and dropped a note next to her.

It read:

Dear Ginny and Harry (If you're speaking yet),

Ron and I are writing to let you know that we are going to Diagon Ally tomorrow to get our school items. If you would like to join us you're welcome too. We'll meet you at The Leakey Cauldron tomorrow around noon. See you then,

Hermione and Ron

And so they went and by the time they had bought all their school books and such Ron and Hermione were about ready to pull out their hair. They hadn't spoken the whole time! Hell they hadn't even looked at each other! It was torture. They were glad when if came time to leave for school. (A/N: Sorry for making this rushed but I need them to get back to school.)

"Guys!" Ron yelled up the stairs at the Burrow. "We're going to be late!"

Ginny and Hermione lugged their trunks down the stairs. Hermione scowled when she distinctly heard Ron mutter something that sounded like "Women... sheish!"

"Well Ronald..." Hermione started fuming. "This woman just happens to be your girlfriend!" and without a second glance she stormed out to the car. By the time they arrived at the platform Hermione was only speaking to Ginny and Ginny to Hermione. Harry had no one to talk to because Ron and Hermione were still mad at his antics and Ginny still hadn't spoken to him. Same for Ron. The train ride was long... and quite. Finally Ginny broke the silence.

"I'm going to find Luna and Colin. I'll be back later." She turned and left the compartment. Harry mumbled something about changing into school robes and left as well. There was ringing silence.

I can't take this anymore!!! Thought Hermione and making up her mind she went over and sat next to Ron.

"Ron... Look at me!" she said.

Ron turned and just as their eyes were about to meet Hermione leaned swiftly over and kissed him passionately. When they broke apart Ron was the first to speak.

"Wow... So I guess this means you're not mad at me."

Hermione responded with a kiss.

Where Ginny went...

"And he hasn't spoken to you since?!" Luna exclaimed looking shocked. Ginny had just finished telling Colin and Luna about the whole "Harry fiasco".

"No!" Ginny replied angrily. "He hasn't spoken to me since. He just makes me sooooo unbelievably mad! I mean he kissed me and now he's acting all weird; like it never happened. Frankly I can't stand the tension! I swear you could cut it with your wand. Any now my whole family is mad at me also! Sheish!"
Just as Ginny had finished ranting they pulled up at the station.

"Please leave your trunks on the train! They will be taken to your rooms for you!" a voice instructed them. They left the train and made their way up toward the castle. Half way to the carriages they ran into Ron, Hermione, and Harry. The ride was awful. No one spoke. Finally they made it to the front doors when peeves swooped down on them. He threw water on some and poured ink on others. He lunged at Ginny with a bucket of water. Harry saw this and pushed her out of the way.

"Thanks Harry" Ginny told him quietly.

"No Problem Gin..." He responded. She just stared at him.

"Oh My Gosh Harry can speak!" she snarled sarcastically.

"About that Gin-" But Ron cut him off.

"Look Dumbledore is going to make a speech!"

And he was right.

"Welcome back students! It is with great pleasure that I welcome back a Mr. Remus Lupin to teach the noble subject of Defense against the Dark Arts along with a Mr. Sirius Black who will take over in his absences." He began. "I would also like to remind you that the Forbidden forest is well forbidden. Also Mr. Filch would like me to remind you that a vast majority of the Weasley Wizard products are here by prohibited. As for new announcements and events; we will be having a back to school ball if you will. Dress robes will be worn and dated will be required. Now if that's all... Tuck In!"

The hall immediately broke out in a jumble of whispers including:

"Isn't that Sirius Black the MURDERER?"

"I thought Lupin was a werewolf?"

"What am I going to wear?"

And "Oh I forgot my dress robes at home...I guess Gran will send them!"

Harry glanced down the table at Ginny.
"I really messed up this time!" Harry thought to himself. "I know what I need to do... Talk to Sirius..."

After dinner had concluded Harry ran up to Sirius and spoke to him...

"Hey Sirius could I talk to you for a second in privet?"

"Yeah sure Harry!" Sirius replied happily. "What's up?" He asked going in to an empty room.

"Sirius it's Ginny... I think I lost her..."
