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: Thanks for all your reviews, Galagirl, thanks for your suggestion, I had a date chapter already written but it's not coming up just yet, next chapter maybe. Thanks anyway. I must say I was very sad to only receive two reviews for the last chapter and so I'm considering discontinuing this story because not many people are interested. Please let me know if you want me to continue the story by reviewing. :(
Anyway, hope you like this chappie.

After reassuring Mr and Mrs Weasley that everything and everyone was fine, Harry and Ginny sat down to talk.
"He'll come back after he's blown off some steam." Harry reassured Ginny as she sat down on the bed, cupping her head in her hands.
"I can't believe he said those things to you."
"He's just angry but he had reason to say what he did."
"What? Don't be stupid, I know you'd never hit me."
"That's not what he meant."
She looked up at him, tears welling in her deep coffee coloured eyes, but she did not respond to his comment.
"I've never seen him so angry." She changed the subject.
"Neither have I. I just hope he doesn't do anything stupid." Harry sitting down on the bed, net to Ginny and putting a comforting arm around her as she let her tears flow freely down her cheeks.
"What's going on. I saw Ron storming of with steam pouring from his ears!" Hermione burst in, "oh!" She was taken aback as she realised that Ginny was crying. "What happened?" She asked, closing the door behind her as Harry and Ginny began to fill her in.

"He hit you?"
"No, he tried."
"Harry caught his fist in mid-flight. I don't know what'll happen when he comes back." Ginny fretted.
"I just can't imagine Ron being like that though." Hermione frowned.
"He was livid!" Harry exclaimed at Hermione's disbelief.
"I've never seen him like that before, Hermione, and I've lived with him for fifteen years." Ginny told her.
"Speak of the devil." Hermione said, as the front door of the Burrow slammed shut behind someone. Ron thumped up the stairs and flung his bedroom door open. He opened his mouth to say something but was cut off as Hermione grabbed him by the shoulders, spun him round and marched him out again.
Harry and Ginny watched from the window as Hermione marched Ron to the edge of the lake and stood with her hands on her hips, demanding an explanation.
"Wow, mum can't even control him like that."
"Yeah but we all know Ron's got a soft spot for Hermione." Harry smiled, "anyway, at least we've got some time to ourselves. Hermione should keep him busy for a while." He grinned, turning away from the window and pulling Ginny towards him.
"Harry! Ginny! Fred! George! Come down for lunch!" Mrs Weasley called just as Harry and Ginny's lips met.
"Typical." Ginny muttered as they headed downstairs.
"That time already? Doesn't time fly when you're having fistfights." Harry joked.
"What? Who's having fistfights?" George asked as the twins joined them at the table.
"Oh... No one, we were just talking about... um... a movie."
"Oh well, that's disappointing, nothing exciting ever happens around here." Fred complained.
Harry met Ginny's eyes and raised his eyebrows, trying to resist the urge to burst out laughing.
"Where did Ron and Hermione go? I heard them go out." Mrs Weasley inquired.
"I think they just went for a walk." Ginny replied.
"Hmm. Well they'll just have to make something for themselves when they get back. Mrs
Weasley frowned, serving the food.

Ron and Hermione didn't return until late that night. Harry had gone to bed early, having no one to talk to or play chess with. When Ron returned, Harry pretended to be asleep. Ron changed silently and climbed straight into bed, but by the sounds of his tossing and turning, Harry guessed that he wasn't the only one having trouble getting to sleep.

Hope you liked that chapter, and I forgot to say before, I plan on posting on Saturdays from now on. I have the next two chappies written, they just need tweaked a bit so all should be well for the next two Saturdays but after that it depends on how quickly my writers block disappears. I will try to get into a routine a.s.a.p. So I apologise again in advance for the imminent delays in the posting of this story.
