Usual Disclaimer: This world does not belong to me. i just borrowed it along with its inhabitants. Thanks J.K. for lending me your ready made world of magic.

A/N: As usual thanks to all my reviewers. Especially Galagirl and Tessall for all their support and to RussellGrll5: don't worry there's more, lots more. It's all in my head, I just haven't written it all down yet.

A general note, I'm suffering a temporary writers block for this story so I apologise in advance for the long time gaps between my update's. Whilst my mind goes blank for this story, inspiration slaps me in the face for another one so I hope to get it posted soon to compensate for the time it takes me to post chapters of this one. any way, please be patient with me, my life is a very hectic one and with it being the run up to... dare I say it?... Christmas, I have very little time on my hands. Yes Christmas is nearly upon us people - commence panic buying now! Anyway I'll quit rambling aimlessly now and let you nice people get on with reading the story.

And here's a question - Can any of you tell me how to get italics on my fics? Let me know in your reviews if you can help.

Anyway, please review, I can't get enough of you people!

"Morning!" Ginny chirped at half past eight the next morning, drawing her curtains and waking Hermione.

"What are you so cheery about?" Hermione asked, getting up and dressed.

"Guess!"

"You're jetting off for Japan today for the holiday of a lifetime?"

"No."

"You're getting a new pet?"

"No."

"A new brother or sister?"

"No!"

"What then?!"

"Me and Harry."

"He didn't?"

"Yup! He took me for a fly and then we kissed when we got back." Ginny beamed.

"That was quick." Hermione murmured.

"What?"

"Nothing. That's so romantic!" Hermione covered up quickly.

"Well the second part was, he flies like a maniac. I thought I was going to die."

"I know, his flying is a little... extreme but he'd never hurt you."

"Yeah, I know. He's so sweet."

"Yeah."

"And cute."

"Okay! Okay! Enough of the mushy stuff already!"

"Sorry." Ginny hovered in the middle of the room, unsure of what to do next.

"Oh for god's sake go and see him!"

"Don't need to tell me twice!" Ginny said, practically skipping from the room, leaving Hermione smiling behind her, glad that Harry had finally come to his senses.

"Wake up sleepy head." Ginny whispered into Harry's ear, stroking his nose with the tip of her finger. She had been relieved to find that Ron was already up and showering when she crept into his bedroom.

"What? Uh! What time is it?" Harry groaned groggily.

"Quarter to nine. You sleep well?"

"Very." He answered getting up. "You woke me from a great dream."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really." Harry grinned and dived on her, tackling her to the ground, tickling her.

"Harry!" She squealed, laughing and squirming on the floor.

Ron chose this most opportune moment to return to his room. "What are you doing?" Ron bellowed. "Get off her!" He pulled Harry off the ground, pinning him against the wall.

"Whoah!" Harry exclaimed. He had seen Ron angry but never like this. Ron brought his fist back and thrust it at Harry's face.

"Ron!" Ginny squealed, distraught.

Harry caught Ron's fist in his own in mid-air. "I wouldn't." He growled, the muscles in his face tightened. Harry could tell that Ron was taken aback but he tried to hide it. They stared each other out, both stony faced and stubborn. Ginny stood watching fearfully, biting the edge of her nail.

"Anything you want to tell me, Harry?" Ron asked in a hoarse, threatening whisper.

"We're together." Harry said bluntly, silently willing Ron to challenge him. "Well? Say something!" Harry urged him after another moment's stony silence. Ron looked menacingly at Harry for another moment before turning to face Ginny.

"Why am I the last to know everything? When did you plan on telling me?!" He took a few threatening steps towards Ginny but Harry grabbed the back of his t-shirt. "Don't you dare." Harry said in a voice so low and threatening that it was barely audible.

"I..." Ron stuttered, realising what he was doing, turning yet again and growling "don't be stupid! Who's more likely to end up hurting her? Me or you?" He knew he had hit below the belt but he was too angry to care.

"Enough! Both of you!" Ginny yelled. "Ron, it only happened last night and for the record, you are the FIRST to know!"

Ron didn't seem to be listening, He glared at Harry before storming out, looking like thunder.
