Ginny was just sitting in her room doing her homework reluctantly. Molly had made her do it and it was boring her to tears. She paused from her Transfiguration essay, wondering what Harry was doing. She decided to go borrow Pigwidgeon from Ron to send a letter to him. She got up, then ran upstairs and burst in immediately, but regretted it already because she walked in on a snog session between Ron and Hermione. "Eew!"
Ron and Mione flushed and broke apart from each other. "Ginny! You really need to knock! What if you walked into something.. er.. worse?" Ron said embarrassedly.
Ginny blushed and said, "Ron, I need to borrow Pig, please."
"What? Why?" Ron asked, puzzled.
"I want to write a letter to Harry. He's been at that awful place for a month, and I want him to have a good summer." Ginny said, blushing even deeper.
Ron and his girlfriend exchanged knowing glances. "Sure, Gin. Go ahead and take him. Just when Harry's here, you get to spend A LOT of alone time with him." Ron wiggled his eyebrows.
Ginny, if possible, flushed darker and grabbed Pig, and ran out. She distinctly heard Hermione say "Colloportus!" So she ran faster, because that is a bad sign of something bad happening. She ran up to her room, and wrote a nice letter to Harry, inviting him to stay. She tied the letter to Pig's foot, who was hooting excitedly at the thought of a delivery that it took a whole 5 minutes 'till he took off.
Harry was having a great time remembering the events of last night, when he heard a soft tap on his window. He walked over to Pig, thinking that Ron had invited him to stay at the burrow or Grimmauld Place, but saw it was Ginny's handwriting on the envelope. Harry ripped open the envelope to read the letter. It Read:
Dear Harry,
How are you? I'm really lonely here. Percy's still away, being a prat. Bill and Charlie are out on Order business all the time. Ron and Hermione are always locked up in his room, snogging, or worse…
"Ha! I knew it!" Harry said happily.
Mum and dad are also on the Order sometimes, but mums here a lot of the time. Gred and Forge are always at the shop. So here I am. All alone. So I was wondering if you wanted to come on over to the burrow. I must warn you, though. You could walk into any room and see Ron and Mione at it.
As always,
Love,
Ginny
Harry stared at that last part. 'Love?' Harry thought. 'Hmm. I suppose it could be just a habit.' But he knew it could be true.
Since he hadn't gone to take his apparition test, he wrote a letter back to Ginny saying he'd be there sometime next week, and Pig went off.
