Disclaimer : I own nothing that has anything to do with Harry Potter, thank you for your time - that is all.
A/N to Jonathan : Hello Jonathan, I truely hope you weren't lying when you said you'd be back to write more later. I hope you're back now to read this. Now, I don't normally write directly to people who review me in my A/N's but your review made me smile and frown all at once and since yousaid 'people who thought my writing was good must be on drugs' and left an anonymous review ...
Jonathan, I only have one thing to say to you ... thank you. I've been waiting for someone to give me actual constructive criticism on this fic! I seriously hope you e-mail me or add me to msn or aim (my bio has my addresses). I would like to talk to you some more, so if you think that would be all right, you know where to contact me.
Now, the next three chapters are written already and they were written awhile ago and are being reposted because took this fic off for being a chat based fic. But, I promise you! Chapter 16 will be very well written, thank you very much!
All my love,
Lyssa

Four Way Connection
The Burrow - Part Two
Two Guys
Ginny's PoV
I sit here, in the family room of the Burrow, waiting for Hermione to get home. When she ran off this afternoon, out of the Three Broomsticks I couldn't help but smirk. Hermione had only kissed Ron to prove she was completely over him, obviously, for the first time in her life, she was wrong. I was so happy about this little mistake, even though I knew she wasn't. When she ran from the pub I thought the best thing to do was let her go, unfollowed. She needed time alone to think, to set her feelings in order and I doubted my being their with her would help at all.
Instead, I Flooed back here with a very confused Harry, an excited Lavender, a shocked and somewhat happy Ron, and a seethingly mad Luna.
'Ron! How could you? I thought you liked me! How could you kiss that bossy little brat?' Luna yells from Ron's bedroom. Even with the doors shut tightly I can hear the fight brewing upstairs. I'm just happy mum and dad aren't home to witness this horrible mess.
'Luna! Listen to me! I didn't mean to! It kind of just ... happend!' Ron defends himself. Why in the name of Merlin is he apologizing to her! I thought he did truely love Hermione, not Luna! What is going on here?
Harry walks into the family room and takes a seat next to me on the sofa. 'Lav is upstairs. She was begging me to come down here and get the '411', as she put it, on the Ron, Hermione, Luna thing.' He grins as he kisses me on the check and takes the steaming cup of coffee I had made for myself out of my hands.
'Harry, give me that.' I smack him playfully as he takes a drink from my mug. 'And you can tell Lav, I barely know what's going on with the love triangle thing anymore.' I grab the cup back from him once he's finished almost half the coffee.
'What do you mean? Haven't you talked to Mione? Gin, I know you! I know you were behind that little ... happening at the pub.' Harry grins slyly.
'Well Harry my dear, you are, as always correct. Mione said she was completely over Ron, and I told her to prove it by kissing him. If she had any feelings left over for him, she'd realize them when she kissed him. Of course, Mione always has to be right, so she had to prove it to me. And ... well you saw the rest.' I sigh.
'Yes but ... now what? What about Ron and Luna?' Harry questions as he pulls me closer to him.
'I don't know. Right as we speak Ron is up their with Luna, begging for her forgiveness.' I shudder.
'But why? I thought he kissed Mione back. Why is he crawling back to Loony?' Harry asks me, slightly confused.
'Harry I have no idea! Something is going on between Luna and Ron ... but what? Maybe it had something to do with last night, sweetie, what happend while Hermione and I were outside?' I ask him. Whatever happend in my room last night must have had something to do with it all, something must have happend to make Ron kiss Luna, to make Ron 'like' Luna.
'Merlin! I wish I could remember!' Harry rubs his forehead, 'I can only remember Luna daring Ron to kiss her. After that I guess we played truth or dare something. But I can't remember any of that.'
'Oh well, I guess we'll have to figure that out later. Tonight me and the girls are going out to a night club.' I cringe at the memory of our plan.
Harry laughs, 'A night club?'
'Mione's idea.'
'Mione's idea? Wow! What has gotten into her lately?' Harry sighs and laughs again.
'I don't see what is so funny Harry! I'm being dragged to this stupid thing!' I punch him lightly on the arm.
'Well have fun!' He smiles playfully, kissing me on the cheek. 'Maybe, if you take Luna along I can talk to Ron? Try and figure things out.'
'As wonderful as that would be, I seriously doubt Luna would want to come anywhere with Mione, and I really don't think Mione would want Luna tagging along.' I point out.
'True, but I could have talked to him ... well I guess I could always wait until Loony falls asleep.' He suggests.
'Alright, good. Maybe, if Mione gets drunk ... which I have a funny feeling will happen, I can get some stuff out of her too.' I smile softly, I can't wait to get back to Hogwarts, where our lives will go back to normal. Ha! Who was I trying to kid? They wouldn't be normal again, even with Luna in a different house than us.
'Don't worry about it, Ginny. It'll be okay soon ... I hope.'
I don't have a chance to answer Harry though. Hermione has just appeared in the fire place, 'Hey guys. How are you all? I'm great! Gin you ready for tonight? We are going to have so much fun! It'll be the night of our lives. Harry you're welcome to come if you'd like.' Hermione says very fast, seeming slightly out of breath and pink in the cheeks.
'Oh! No thanks, I'm sure it'll be more fun if it's just you girls. Enjoy yourselves though.' Harry says, quickly getting himself out of the situation. I glare at him, silently cursing him for leaving me to go by myself. 'Anyways, I think I'll head back upstairs and seprate those two from eachother, before one of them gets hurt.' Harry says, reffering to Ron and Luna. He gets up, takes my half full mug and leaves the room, shooting me a smile as he goes.
'Mione ... are you alright?' I question, unsure of anything anymore. Hermione's eyes are shinning and her cheeks are flushed pink. As she looks around the room and hears the loud screams of the fight upstairs she seems to begin floating, slowly back down to Earth.
'Hmm? Oh yes. I'm fine, I'm great.' She smiles, looking up the stairs.
'Have you ... er ... figured out what you're going to do?' I ask.
'Yes. You, Lav and me are all going to go up, set our clothes out, come down here, make dinner then get ready. At ... midnight, we'll leave for the club and then whenever we feel like leaving we'll come back here. Sound good to you? Where's Lav? I think we should run it all by her too.' Hermione says, still looking up the stairs, her smile small now.
'Yes, but I'll get her. You wait down here, I'll be down in a second.' I say. I don't want her to go up and pass either Ron or Luna at this moment.
I walk up stairs and past Ron's room, where I hear 'Ron! I still don't understand why you did that! All you've said is I'm Sorry! You haven't explained to me why you kissed that slut!' Then Ron say 'Luna! She's not a slut! And I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ... hurt you.' And Harry, 'Guys! Stop yelling! Mione's back and I doubt she wants to hear all of this right now!' Then Luna's screams, 'I don't CARE about what she wants to hear! I'm so tired of all of this! Ron! RON!'
I walk into my room and slam the door behind me, hoping to drown out their arguments. 'Lav? Hermione's back! Come down with us. She wants to talk to you too.' Lavender is sitting on my bed reading Witch Weekly.
'She's back? How is she? Mad? Sad? What?' She looks at me, trying to find an answer. Lavender isn't one of Hermione and myselves close friend, we have nothing in common with her, but it's obvious she cares about us and I think Hermione and I care about her too. This summer has been the longest and oddest one we've had in a long while.
'I don't know, she just seems ... spaced out. I can't explain it! Come down and talk to her.'
We walk back out of my room and into an explotion of yelling and swearing, 'Merlin!' Lavender mutters. We head back downstairs where Mione is still sitting on the sofa, her eyes still glued to the stairs, watching us come down.
'Mione? You okay? What's up?' Lavender asks her, moving closer to the sofa.
'Yes, I'm fine, everything is fine. I had a great time tonight, after I left the pub. I started walking and I came across the little book shop Ron was telling me about.' Lavender and I nod, looking at Hermione. 'So I went in, it's so great in their! So pretty and warm, welcoming. Anyways, I spent the afternoon there.'
'Reading? You spent six hours looking at books?' Lavender's eyebrows shoot up.
'Well not really. This wizard who works there came over to help me find some books and we started talking, he showed me a few really great books he thought I might like, and I showed him some classic Muggle books. We talked the whole time, it was nice. I barely ever find anyone with an interest in books like me.' She tells us, the smile growing on her face again.
'Oh? So ... um, how old is this boy?' Lavender giggles.
'Huh? Oh ... well I don't really know, we just talked about books ... nothing else.' Hermione tells us.
'Well that was stupid.' Lavender smiles.
'Yes, well I'm going to see him again tomorrow, so I guess I can find out his age.' She says brightly.
'Mione! You're going to see him AGAIN! Like a date?' Lavender gets all giddy.
'No, like two friends getting together to talk.' Hermione informs us, 'I don't even know him. I wouldn't date him. Anyways, listen, about tonight. I was thinking we could make din --'
She's cut off by the sound of glass hitting a wall and the shouting of Luna, 'Ron! You still haven't told me WHY you kissed that brat!'
Hermione's smile, which had reappeared once she had started talking about the book store has now vanished from her face again.
Oh boy, I think to myself. Who is this mystery book guy? He seems to put a smile on Hermione's face, a smile Ron and Luna take away from her. Can Ron somehow find a way to put it back himself? I wonder.
