A\n: Several things. First, don't expect any more frequent updates, 'm doing this from Internet café's and it's costing me money. Second, I started a piece of original fiction on Fictionpress.net.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger Chapter 2: Happy Birthday

Harry looked around the living room of the Burrow. It was empty. Harry set down his trunk, and called.

"Hello? Where is everyone?" Harry called out

"Harry? Is that you?" Ginny asked from another room

"Yeah. Sorry I'm late." Harry replied

"What took you?" Ginny questioned walking in from the kitchen "We gave up waiting an hour ago."

Harry told Ginny the same story he told Mrs. Figg.

"Oh." Was all Ginny said

"So." Harry started "Where is everyone?"

"Ron and Hermione went out into the woods an hour ago, the twins moved out, dad's at work and mom went out to get some cooking ingredients." Ginny answered "If you want, I'll help you put away your stuff."

"All right." Harry replied

So, the two of them trooped up the steps. Ginny pushed the door to Ron's room open, and let him in. She followed in behind him.

'Wow.' Harry thought 'She's really grown up. She's beautiful now.'

'WAIT! Where'd that thought come from?' he demanded of himself

'Does it matter? You have to admit that she's a looker.' He thought back

'Well. You're right. Maybe she still has that crush on us.'

'I couldn't. She's just a friend.'

'Yeah, a friend that you want to sleep with.'

'HEY!'

Ginny interrupted him from his thoughts.

"Anything in here you want to hide from me?" she asked "If you want I'll go into another room."

"Nope." Harry replied, scooping up a stack of neatly folded shirts and putting them in the top dresser drawer. "I've got to use the Loo though. I'll be back in a second."

"OK" Ginny replied as he closed the door

She took that opportunity to go through his trunk of course.

"Amazing." She said to herself, after she had put away all the clothes "Not a single sinful thing. Not even wizard porn. Just letters, his Firebolt, a knife, books, an invisibility cloak, a few quills, some parchment and ink. He's clean as a whistle."

Ginny put everything away neatly and lounged on the bed waiting for Harry.

"OK, I'm back" Harry said as he opened he door

"OK. What do you want to do until everyone gets back?" She asked

"Umm. I don't know." Harry responded "Any ideas?"

"We could cook dinner for when mum gets home." Ginny suggested

"OK." Harry answered

As they stood in the kitchen, there was a loud crack, followed by two more. Harry reckognised the people instantly. They were Death Eaters!
