A/N: Bonjour! Comment ca va? Sorry got a little French happy there. I'm in French 2 at the moment, and I was just doing my homework. Anyway, thank you for all the splendiferous (isn't that a crazy excellent word?) reviews last chapter! I'm still looking for the people who are reading and not reviewing, to step it up. But moving on. I got Tuesday off, because of the hurricane. I'm in Atlanta, so it wasn't too bad here. Just strong winds and heavy rain. I sat on my lazy arse all day. It was great. Lol. Well actually, I was productive. I wrote a chapter of this story! Yay for me. Lol. So I suppose it's time for me to stop rambling, because I'm sure I'm boring all of you to tears.

The Flying Moose: Yes you are! You do rock socks, big comfortable ones. (The best kind) lol. Wow I'm cool. And so are you! Lol.

blink gurl017: Haha that's great. Ooo and that sucks that you had to go back to school. But I had to go back on august 8th. Lol. That definitely sucked muchos grande. Lol. What grade are you in? I'm a junior in highschool. Oh how I wish to be out. Lol. My stupid French teacher embarrassed the holy hell out of me today! It was terrible. I didn't know the answer to a question, and she turned her chair around and stared at me for like ten minutes. Finally I was like, you're not going to leave me alone unless I say the answer, are you? And she was like, nope. Ahhh I was ready to scream. Lol. But enough of my pointless stories. Hope you have a good day/night! Lol.

Luka-black: Your welcome! Lol. Yay its brilliant! Lol. Thank you! :)

Future Mrs. Radcliffe: I love that word! Lol. I definitely used it in my authors note up top, incase you didn't notice. Lol. Sorry about the shortness! Unfortunately, the next few chapters will be a little on the short side, because I already have them written. But I will continue trying to write longer ones. Lol.

Tabytha: Haha you were right! Yay I'm so happy you think my story is wonderful! That makes my day! Lol. Thank you!

Lily Dwarf: Haha here's the update!

Darkflower2113: It's quite all right if you can't review every chapter. Lol. It's so much easier to do that in the summer. Dude! I always use the "She will be mine, oh yes she will be mine." line. I apply it to like everything. Lol. Whenever I'm walking with my friends and I see my favorite sexy boy, I'm like, "he will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine." Lol. Makes for stupid good fun. Lol. Yeah last chapter wasn't huge, and sadly this one isn't that big either. But it does act as a catalyst for the next chapters, so it does have a purpose. Lol.

Maraudergrl99: I'm so happy to see your name in my reviews! Yeah, sorry about the slowness. Lol. It will come around eventually. Oh god, at least I hope so. Lol. It's not terrible to read at the moment is it? I hope not. I get really insecure about my stories sometimes. Well that's good that you're busy, at least if you're doing stuff you like to do. I wish I were a little busier sometimes. I get left out of hanging out with my friends in my neighborhood a lot, and it always sucks. They'll be asking me about my weekend, and I'll be like, I did absolutely nothing. And then they're like; you should have come with us. And all I can think is thank you so much for telling me that now! Lol. But enough of my complaining. I hope you have a good rest of the week! :)

Irishdancer61790: Haha Ginny's quite snarky isn't she? She's gonna be a little edgy for this chapter and the next. Then something's going to happen to make her stop...oooo spoiler spoiler! Lol.

Loves to Read: Haha I'm glad you liked "Larry"! I hope it turns out as well as you would hope!

lizzie5555555: Hey! I was wondering when I was going to see your name on here. Thank you so much for reviewing for my one shots! I'm sorry that I couldn't thank you sooner! I hope you like this story more as it goes along! Thanks for the reviews.

Gatoriris: Haha Harry was Larry. That made me hehe too. Lol. Thank you so much, and I hope you like this chapter! :)

hye em yes: Thank you! :)

Harry walked from the room with an enormous smile on his face. After Ginny was sure he was away, she collapsed onto her bed. Holy crap. I can't believe he saw that. But try as she may, Ginny couldn't keep herself from smiling ever so faintly. Wow, it's been a while since I've made a complete idiot of myself in front of Harry. I guess some things never change. But some things do.

Chapter Seven: That Little Thing Called Tension

Hours later, Ginny emerged from her room. She was a little embarrassed by her earlier antics, and she didn't really want to see Harry. When she stepped into the living room, she found him settled on the couch reading a book. He didn't even glance up or notice her, so she slipped from the room quietly. This is going to take some getting used to. But I don't even want him here. He's just going to mess up my life all over again. I should have just kicked him out, Ginny thought with a scowl

Well I'm sure as hell not going to be all nice and polite.

Why not? You're the one who broke up with him.

That's not the point.

Uh, actually it is.

No, it's not!

We could go on like this for hours, but face it, it is.

Well he never even came to find me!

You'd just broke up with him. What did you expect?

I don't know!

Ginny began to bang her head on the wall in frustration. The noise echoed throughout the silent kitchen, and amplified. A minute later Harry came racing in. Running over to Ginny, he grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around. There they stood, facing each other, and not looking one another in the eyes. Harry gently took Ginny's face and tilted it upwards. Finally, they were eye to eye.

"Ginny, why were you doing that?" Harry asked with concern.

"It's none of your business!" she retorted.

"Oh yes it is! I'm not going to let you hurt yourself."

"Just leave me alone Harry!" Ginny yelled while wrenching herself from his grip.

She ran out of the room, and locked herself in the bathroom. Seconds later, tears started to fall down her face. Ginny wiped them away harshly, and sat in silence. Around ten minutes later, Harry knocked on the door.

"Ginny? Come out of there." He called.

"Go away." Ginny yelled back through newly fallen tears.

"Please Gin. Just open the door." Harry said pleadingly.

"Don't call me Gin." she snapped.

"Okay, I'm sorry. I won't. Just come out of there."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Are we going to go on like this all night, or am I going to have to open the door?"

"Don't you dare open that door Harry Potter."

"Alohamora." Harry said while pointing his wand at the knob.

The door creaked open slowly to reveal Ginny, splotchy from tears. She immediately buried her head in her hands, and repeatedly told Harry to go away, but he didn't. He just stood there in silence, watching her. She was so vulnerable, and all Harry wanted to do was wrap his arms around her and tell her everything would be all right. But he didn't. Minutes later, he was still standing there. Harry had finally worked up the courage to move closer, when Ginny lifted up her head.

"Harry just go." she said with red eyes.

"No. I'm not leaving."

"Go!"

Harry didn't move an inch. Ginny looked at him for a minute with an unreadable expression. Then suddenly, Harry saw anger flash through her wide brown eyes. They became narrowed, and Harry knew that she was about to use her famous temper. Before he even had a chance to react, she picked up her toothbrush holder. Ginny stretched back her arm and hurled it at him. He barely had time to duck, but it missed him.

"Get out!" she shrieked.

Harry walked out of the bathroom without a word. A second later, he heard the door slam shut and lock. Sighing, he sat back down on the couch. Meanwhile in the bathroom, Ginny was silently arguing with herself.

Why are you being so mean to him?

Because he deserves it.

What do you mean he deserves it? He didn't do anything to you.

Exactly!

Explain please.

He wasn't there for me all these years, all the stuff I've been through. He's been absent for the past five years of my life, and now he comes waltzing back in, expecting it to be the way it was. Not a chance.

I think you're forgetting one very important detail.

And what's that?

You're the one that left!

That's irrelevant.

Irrelevant my ass!

Oh shut it!

Ginny snapped herself out of her messy thoughts. I really have gone psycho. I'm going to drive myself absolutely nuts. Ginny stood up and pressed her ear to the door. She didn't hear anything, so she quietly slipped out of the bathroom. But when she stepped into the kitchen, she stopped dead in her tracks. Harry was sitting at the table, and reading the newspaper.

"Nice of you to grace us with your presence." He mumbled.

"What's that? Who's us Harry? Is that your invisible friend?" Ginny asked sarcastically.

Harry blushed faintly.

"Me, I meant me. Sorry it wasn't grammatically correct." He retorted.

"No problem." she snapped back.

"You're such a bitch, you know that?" Harry said with a chuckle.

"I'm a bitch? I'm a bitch? Have we forgotten about your complete basterdness?" Ginny returned.

"Basterdness? Nice word. Did you make that one up? Because it's quite amusing." Harry said in a saccharine voice.

"You're such an ass." Ginny huffed.

"Thank you." Harry said with a smile.

"UGH!" Ginny screamed.

She stormed from the room, leaving Harry sitting with a smile on his face. If she's going to be so irritable, I might as well have fun pissing her off.

The next morning Ginny awoke early. She opened her eyes to the bright sunlight, and yawned loudly. Stepping out of the room, she walked drowsily into the living room. Ginny plopped down onto the couch. Or what she thought was the couch.

"Ahhh!" Harry and Ginny both screamed in unison.

"What are you doing?" Ginny yelled.

"Sleeping! What am I not aloud to sleep now?"

"Oh shut up."

"What if I don't?"

"Then I will sock you one right in the face."

"Fair enough."

It was a few moments before either of them realized that Ginny was still sitting in his lap. But when they did, Ginny shot up like she'd been stung.

"Oh why are you getting up? I was rather enjoying that." Harry said with a twinkle in his eyes.

"You are disgusting!" Ginny shouted.

"No, just a guy." He replied with a grin.

"Ass." Ginny muttered under her breath.

"Yes, yours is nice." Harry deadpanned.

Ginny eyes blazed, and she pulled back her arm, ready to hit him.

"Merlin Ginny! I was just joking around."

"Well if you haven't noticed, I don't joke."

"I'll change that."

"Yeah right." Ginny said with a severe laugh.

"I will."

"Okay then."

With that, Ginny strode out of the house. What she didn't realize was that she was still in her pajamas, and her hair was still a complete mess. Ginny jumped into her car, and turned the ignition. She pressed the gas, and drove off.

Meanwhile inside, Harry was still sitting on the couch. Thoughts were buzzing in his head like a million tiny flies, and he just wanted to swat them all away. I wish she'd sit on me of her own accord, he thought with a mischievous grin. Then suddenly he realized. She had not even been dressed. Ginny had been wearing nothing more than a short silk nightgown.

Oh Merlin. That image is not going to leave my head all day.

Oh stop it. Get over yourself.

Why? I rather like picturing Ginny like that.

You are pathetic.

You're right, I am. She doesn't even like me in a friendly way. She despises me.

That she does.

Oh shut it you.

Harry was snapped out of it by the sound of screeching tires. That'll be Ginny. She must have finally realized that she'd only wearing a nightgown, he thought with a snicker.Sure enough, a moment later Ginny came storming into the house. She walked over to Harry and glared.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she said in a shaky voice, anger barely being suppressed.

"Tell you what?" Harry asked innocently.

Then Ginny exploded.

"You know exactly what I mean!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Oh you mean about how you're dressed?" he asked.

"Or not dressed." He added as an after thought.

"That's it! Get out of my house!"

"You don't mean that."

"Out of my house!"

"Alright."

Harry stood up, and walked by Ginny. He reached the front door and pulled it open, never looking back.

A/N: Hope you liked this chapter! Yes, I am aware that Harry is a tad bit out of character, but remember this is AU and he's older now. And I also know that not a lot happened in this chapter, but its another one of those chapters that acts as a catalyst for what happens next in the story. And I also just wanted to show how Ginny is really reacting to Harry being there. Thank everyone for reading.

Now please, make me the happiest girl ever, and REVIEW!
