A/N: Duckie, thanks so much about the italics stuff (who's bond??) and no,
not Mr. and Mrs. GRANGER, but the Weasleys'. Oh, and I would NEVER let
Harry or Ginny die, but I just read an article that said JK might......
***SORRY FOR EVERYONE WHO READ THAT, (IT MAKES ABSOLUTLY NO SENSE.....MY FAULT). NOW YOU KNOW, IT'S THE WEASLEYS, NOT THE GRANGERS, WITH HERMIONE AND RON WHEN THEY VISITED IN EGYPT
Disclaimer: Blah Blah Blah.....no one reads these anyway, why do I bother putting them????
Chapter 12: The Night Before Christmas
Ginny woke up in the hospital wing to find a peculiar man with half moon spectacles and twinkling, light blue eyes leaning over her.
"Professor Dumbledore?" Ginny asked, not sure if she was dreaming or not.
"Ah, Miss Weasley, I'm glad you're awake. You're been cataleptic for a day; Mr. Potter just woke up, too."
Ginny looked at the bed next to hers, and there was Harry, eyes exceptionally bright green because of his pale face, grinning, bemused, at her.
"It seems, from what I've heard, you and Harry had an intense snowball fight, and fell asleep next to the lake. I must say, that was quite foolish, as it was snowing, and snow covers everything. Hagrid found you, with Harry wrapped around you, Ginny, near the lake, with about half a foot of snow as a blanket. You froze. Literally. Thankfully, Hagrid brought you both up to Madam Pomfrey, and she was able to melt you."
Ginny chuckled, imagining the situation.
"It may seem funny," said Dumbledore, his eyes dancing, and a smile forming on his lips, "but if you were left out any longer, you might have been permanently frozen. Poppy said you both may go when you wake up. Run along, now, and Happy Christmas Eve!"
Ginny exited the infirmary with Harry and headed back to Gryffindor tower. Noticing this, Harry said, "I have a better idea."
Harry took her hand, and they both felt a zing run through them. He jumped a little, and looked into her eyes. Harry didn't know how he got the courage to do it, but soon the space between their mouths was closing.....but just then, Snape came striding down the hallway. "Always ruining everything," Harry muttered under his breath, not meaning to say it out loud, but Ginny picked it up.
Harry grabbed Ginny and pulled her into an empty classroom. Snape just walked past; he looked very preoccupied and in a hurry. Harry wondered about this. "Wonder why he's hurrying?" Harry mused.
Ginny shrugged. "Come on," she said, "we should really be going....."
Harry took her hand again, and led her down the portrait guarding the kitchens, tickled the pear, and entered, with Ginny following. A certain house-elf ran up to Harry and hugged him around his stomach.
Harry laughed. "Dobby! I haven't seen you in ages.....!"
They talked about all sorts of things. Ginny noticed another house- elf come up to them. This one was female.
"Oh!" said Dobby. "Dobby is forgetting to tell you, Harry Potter, sir. Dobby and Winky is engaged, sir!"
"That's great!" said Harry, a smile forming on his face. "She's doing better, then?" Harry asked, as Winky moved away, smiling.
"Winky? Oh, yes, Harry Potter, sir, Winky is doing lots and lots better. Winky is finally realizing, Harry Potter, sir, that Mr. Crouch is not Winky's master. Oh, no, he is not. Professor Dumbledore is Winky's master! Dobby is finally convincing Winky!"
"That's wonderful, Dobby. Congratulations on the engagement!" Harry told himself to remember to tell Hermione.
Dobby beamed and beamed as he brought Ginny and Harry their hot chocolate and Christmas cookies.
"Happy Christmas, great sir and gentle miss." Bid Dobby as they walked out of the door.
"Happy night before Christmas, Ginny," called Harry as he went up the stairs to his dormitory. They were suddenly shy around eachother.
"Same to you!" she yawned.
Ron and Hermione, however, were nowhere close to being tired.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had greeted them when they got to platform 9 ¾. After a quick bite to eat at the burrow, all four of them traveled by floo powder to Egypt.
Ron remembered the pyramid with the gruesome bodies in it, from when he visited in third year, and forced Hermione to enter it with him and Bill.
After almost becoming deaf from Hermione's screaming, Ron, Bill, and Hermione exited the tomb.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Ron, Hermione, and Bill flooed back to the burrow, where they had a delicious dinner and dessert.
After that, the five of them gathered around the fire, decorating the Christmas tree, which was 36 feet, 8 ¼ inches tall. Mr. Weasley magically raised the ceiling, so the enormous tree fit. That was okay, but when he charmed the muggle ornaments to fly to the top of the tree, Mrs. Weasley was sour faced.
After about two hours of Ron and Hermione stringing (and eating!) popcorn, Bill and Mrs. Weasley magicing wizard ornaments, and Mr. Weasley magicing muggle ones, everyone went to bed. Bill slept in Percy's old room, and Ron and Hermione slept on the top of the Burrow in Ron's room.
Hermione and Ron climbed the staircase, hand in hand. Hermione opened the door, with Ron following. She's seen his room plenty of times, but never got over the fact that it's like walking into a furnace; everything is orange, because of Ron's all time favorite quidditch team, the Chudley Cannons.
Ron plopped down on his bed, and Hermione did the same on the cot next to his bed.
After a game of pitiless wizards chess, (Ron won, of course) and an awful lot of long, drawn out kissing, Hermione and Ron fell asleep.
"This can't be happening!" exclaimed Mrs. Weasley.
"Of course it can be happening, Molly! We knew it was going to happen eventually! It did last time!"
"But Arthur, it's not possible that Dumbledore's FRIEND is a SPY for You-Know-Who!"
A/N: Har Har Har!! Who could it be? Remus Lupin? (his werewolf side taking over him?) Mad-Eye Moody? (his good reputation FINALLY getting to him?) Tonks? (she could be hiding the dark mark, because she can change her appearance) or is it Kingsley Shacklebot? (He's a mysterious character.....we don't know much about him.....) Read on to find out!!!! *BTW: I did some foreshadowing a few chapters back.....If you review me to tell me who the spy is, I'll give you a present!!!!* New chapter soon.
