I OWN NOTHING!!!!!!

Chapter 2

As Harry stepped through the back door he was pelted by water-balloons from every angle. Sputtering in surprise he attempted to shield his head from the enchanted balloons.

"WEASLEY!" he yelled while fending off the attack.

Nearby, he heard her laughter ringing in the quiet night. Growling he called, "Finite Incantatem!"

The balloons froze and dropped to the ground busting. And soaking Harry's shoes in the process.

Searching the garden and surrounding yard he spotted a flash of white and red in a tall tree. Pointing his wand he whispered, "Accio Ginny."

"AHHHHH! Harry that's not fair!" Ginny screamed.

Harry laughed as the struggling Ginny was pulled from her hiding place and flew in his direction. Harry caught he and set her on the ground in front of him. "Paybacks Weasley. Paybacks."

Ginny grinned inwardly and made her best, and famous, puppy dog eyes.

"Harry," she whispered, leaning closer, "You wouldn't do anything mean to me, would you?" Her looked changed from pleading too seductive and Harry's eyes darkened. Leaning in his lips touched hers and soon they were locked in a heated kiss.

Ginny abruptly pulled away and grinned as Harry groaned.

"Ginny!" he whined. Harry opened his eyes and watched as with a 'pop,' Ginny was gone. "Damn her," he cursed.

After hearing another pop in the distance Harry followed the trail to the stream. As he got closer he spotted Ginny sitting on her low hanging branch with her bare feet dangling in the water.

Harry stared in awe as the moonlight fell over her. Her flowing white dress just skimmed the water. Her bright red hair had darkened over time. She had recently added blonde and brown streaks to it, giving it a wonderful luster in the moonlight. Her once pale skin had been tanned a rich golden brown tone from the many hours spent on the Quidditch pitch and by the stream. She looked beautiful.

An evil smirk grazed his face and he crept silently behind her. Reaching out his hands, hovering next to her sides.

"BOO!!" he yelled grabbing her side at the same time.

"Ahhh!" Ginny screamed jumping.

Harry stepped back quickly laughing. Ginny lost her balance and flung her arms and legs out in different directions. Over correcting, she fell backwards and landed head first in the cold water.

As she surfaced her yelling began. "HARRY JAMES POTTER!!! What the bloody hell was that for?" "Well, let me see?" he said, squatting on the stream's edge laughing. "First, you stole all of my socks and I do believe you are the little devil who takes off with my shirts sometimes after training. Then there was the balloons. And the last one was just damn cruel. You do not kiss a man like that and then just disappear. That's just plain wrong." He finished, glaring at her playfully.

"Well I have one more surprise for you dear one," Ginny stated dryly.

Suddenly her hand appeared from the chilling water and clutched in it was her wand.

"Accio Harry!"

Harry's eyes widened and he tried to stop but the pull was to strong and quickly he was to was surfacing from the water.

"That wasn't very nice." He whined once he was over his shock. "No?" she asked, "I thought it was rather funny myself."

Harry slowly swam to her. "I do believe you've been out done Mr. Potter," she bragged treading water slowly. As Harry reached her he pulled her closer and whispered, "Only because it's you."

Leaning in their lips touched and the world around them vanished. Forgetting the water's depth, they stopped kicking and both slipped underwater. Several moments later they resurfaced and gasped for breath.

Harry's eyes focused on Ginny and he pulled her to him again. He backed them into water just below his neck and kissed her again.

"Harry.." Ginny whispered between kisses. "I.still can't.touch."

"I know." He replied and lifted her up, tightening his grip around her waist with one arm and cupping her cheek gently with his other hand.

Ginny deepened the kiss even more, wrapping one arm around Harry's neck, pulling his face closer. Her other hand ran through his hair. As he picked her up she wrapped her legs around his waist, locking her into place so she wouldn't fall.

They stayed in the stream until dawn. Kissing, playing, swimming, whatever they wanted to do. It had been so long since they had had time to themselves like this and they were enjoying it.

As the sun began to lighten the sky they crawled out of the stream and climbed onto the original branch. Harry leaned against the trunk with Ginny nestled into his arms. Together they watched as a new day began.

Grudgingly they knew they needed to return to the Burrow. The Weasley's would soon miss them. Harry took Ginny's hand and led them back to the Burrow.

As they stepped onto the porch, they heard Mrs. Weasley bustling around the kitchen. Casting drying charms on each other they shared a quick kiss.

Harry peeked his head around the door to watch Mrs.Weasley. Once she had disappeared into the pantry, Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and they streaked through the kitchen and up the stairs. Stopping at Ginny's door, Harry leaned in and gave Ginny a deep kiss and whispered, "After Ron goes down to breakfast come up to Ron's room. I need to talk to you."

Ginny nodded and silently opened her door. She waved and blew a kiss as she shut it. Harry continued to the top floor and entered their room.

Just as he layed down and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep he heard Ron stir. Several minutes later Ron disappeared through the door in a hurry to get to breakfast. He would be picking up Hermione afterwards.

Minutes after Ron left Ginny appeared. She locked the door and walked over to Harry's bed. He lifted the covers and gestured. Ginny immediately slipped into bed next to him.

After she snuggled up to him, she rested her head on his chest and asked, "What did you want to talk about?"

"Well. I wanted to know when you wanted to tell them."

"Oh. Well I don't know. When do you want to tell them.?"

"I was thinking about today. Everyone is here. That was they can all know at the same time."

"Are you sure you are okay with that?"

"That's fine."

"Okay. Lets go."

Crawling out of bed, Ginny turned her back as Harry changed. Once he was done, she grabbed his hand and they walked down the stairs. Ready to face the Weasley's together.

Once they entered the kitchen they were greeted by everyone. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill Charlie, Fred and George, and Ron were all there and to Ginny and Harry's surprise, so was Hermione.

Harry and Ginny reached out to hug her, "Hermione, we weren't expecting you until later. How's the Job going?"

Hermione laughed, "I know I'm early but I was ready to get back. Works okay. It's not nearly as exciting as being an unspeakable or a national seeker and chaser though." She said, looking from Ron to Harry and then Ginny. Everyone laughed and Harry and Ginny sat down to breakfast.

"So Harry, Ginny." Charlie started, "How long do you have until you leave?"

"We have two more weeks before training starts again," Harry told, turning to Mrs. Weasley, "Are you sure it's okay for me to stay here until the flat is ready?"

"Oh of course dear. Stay as long as you wish." She replied.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Just as everyone finished and were about to get up, Harry and Ginny stopped them, telling them they needed to talk to them. Muttering a spell together, everyone gasped and looked from Ginny to Harry.

Hermione's eyes shined. Ginny toyed with Harry's hand nervously. "Ummm." she started, glancing down quickly. Harry squeezed her hand and pulled her against him for a hug.

Nodding at her, they spoke "Mom. Dad." "Mr. Weasley. Mrs. Weasley." They both started at the same time.

Looking around they started again, "Everyone.We have an announcement to make.'
