Disclaimer : I own nothing that has anything to do with Harry Potter, thank you for your time - that is all.

A/N : Hey guys! Long time no talk! Yes, yes I know, I'm a horrible person! Seriously though, I had planned this whole wicked thing where every day for the whole winter break I'd post and write a new chapter to one of my fics but then the 1st week of break I got the flu (not fun!), then the second week I just didnt write, I have no clue why, but I didnt - I should have, but I didn't! But now, it's the last day of break and I feel fine and I'm bored out of my mind (and feel bad since I haven't posted a new chapter in forever) so I'm going to attempt to write this all and post it up by the end of the day sometime! So I hope I can do that.

Bare with me though everyone! This computer that I write all my fan fics on is a really horrible computer! It's SoOo old it's not even funny! I think it's about 5 or 6 years old! My parents wanted to get rid of it so many times but I kept freaking out! I was like 'No! It has EVERY SINGLE CHAPTER OF FAN FICTION I'VE EVER WRITTEN!!' So they've kept this little pile of junk in our living room for my creative talent (or lack there of, sometime!) But I think it's time I either name this computer and become it's friend, or save all my fics on a disk and throw this guy out. He's gotten so bad that when i press the 'u' I get a 7 too. Like this 'u7'. So then I have to go back and delete the number! Or else you7'd be reading Ron, Harry, and Hermione's adventu7res like this, and that wou7ldn't be very fu7n, now wou7ld it? Haha, don't worry though, I do my best to catch all those annoying 7's!

And for the love of Merlin! The freakiest thing JUST happend! I was sitting here, writing to all of you about my old computer and I hear 'Oh no, it's a bat!' from my basement. Now, my dad and my brother (yes both of them) like to play on the Game Cube we have down there and I thought they were just talking about some odd game they were playing, so I kept writing to all of you, but then not even a minute later my dad comes walking up the stairs with a bucket held at arms length with a peice of cardboard over top. So I asked what was going on and my little brother said 'There's a BAT in THEIR,' and he pointed to the bucket. So I followed my dad to the laundry room to hold doors open for him. Now we have a bat sitting in a bucket in our garage, waiting to be drivin to the park and set free.

What an interesting day this will be! And I think I'll name the bat Kaleb, not that I know it's a boy.

Anyway! To find out more about the bat read my online dairy later on! (The link can be found on my bio page!)

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Four Way Connection

The Burrow - Part Two

Car Rides

Ginny's PoV

'Well this is interesting, I never expected to be doing this tonight.' Adam laughs from the drivers seat.

Lavender is sitting next to him in the passanger seat, flirting madly, still a bit drunk. Hermione and I are in the back, her looking very green and me very tired. Why had I agreed to this? I had never done anything so stupid in all my life and I never thought I'd do anything this stupid again ... of course, that is until I crawled into the back seat of a complete strangers car.

'You mean driving three teenage girls around in the dead of night?' Lavender giggles as she reaches over to touch his arm.

'No, I mean driving three teenage girls, two of which are drunk -' He glances side long at Lavender, 'and one of which thinks I'm going to kill you all and leave you in a forest.' He looks at me in the mirror, smiling.

'Dear Merlin, I just want to get home.' I mutter, looking away from the mirror down to Hermione who's head is resting on my shoulder.

'So? Harry ... he's your boyfriend right?' Adam says, looking straight ahead at the road infront of us.

'Huh? Yes, he is.' I inform him as Hermione shifts in her seat looking rather uncomfortable. I move closer to her so she doesn't have to reach out as far to put her head on my shoulder again. 'Mione? Are you alright?' I ask her quietly, still trying to make her comfortable.

'I don't have a boyfriend.' Lavender giggles again, reaching out to him once more.

'Er ... that's nice. So Ginny? Are you and Harry in a serious relationship? Or is this a summer fling kind of thing?' Adam asks me, still looking at the darkening road infront of him, driving at a slower pace to keep Hermione's stomach from getting sick again.

'Why?' I question, my eyes narrow. Why is he being stupid? What does it matter to him?

'Oh please, Adam don't even try. Harry's had Ginny's heart since first year! Don't even bother. Those two are like, the cutest couple in the world! Harry's so sweet to her, he makes sure she's okay every chance he gets, if she gets sick he sits by her side and takes care of her all night long. Before she goes to bed he comes in and they talk for hours, then he kisses her and they sit there, staring into eachothers eyes for a while, until finally one of them gets to sleepy to speak.' Lavender sighs dreamily, looking out the window.

'That's ... nice. How long have you two been dating for.' He asks sounding slightly defeated.

'Two days.' I cough into my lap. Great, so he asks the one question that makes our relationship sound like a complete joke.

'What was that?' Adam grins into the mirror, looking at me again. His voice a lot happier now.

'Two days.' I say louder, narrowing my eyes again, switching my gaze out the window.

'Oh so it's not a serious relationship then?' He keeps grinning.

'No, it's VERY serious.' I snap as a row of trees skim by us outside.

'But two days doesn't seem very long.' He says as he looks back at the road.

'Yeah well those two have liked each other for about a year now! Harry didn't realize it until last summer, but he was to shy to say anything to her. Very cute. Then, finally this summer, after spending the beginning of it flirting non stop! he asked her out. I thought it was really cute. But you'd never guess it's only been two days. I mean, if you saw them together on the street or at the park, you'd think they were practically married! Dating for years! They look so great together, they're like ... the perfect couple. Oh Gin! Imagin, it would be so great if Hermione and Ron got together, I mean, everyone know's they're tied in first place with you and Harry for best couple. You four could all double!' Lavender giggles excitedly.

'Ron.' Hermione mutters next to me before her hands fly to her mouth.

'Adam! Pull over!' I tell him as Hermione and I move to the door, waiting for him to stop.

Hermione flings the door open before we've come to a complete stop, running out into the dark.

'Damn.' I swear as I slide out behind her, following her into the night.

I hold her hair back as she throws up by a few bushes again. 'Mione don't worry, you'll feel better in the morning. I promise.' I whisper as she coughs again.

'I need fresh air.' She tells me as she goes to sit by a tree, leaning her back against it. 'You can go back in the car, I'll be there in just a second.'

'Are you sure? I can wait out here with you if you want.' I take a step towards her.

'No, go back to the car or you'll catch a cold out here.' She says as she closes her eyes, taking deep breaths.

I walk back to the car, closing the door behind me as I slip into the back seat again. 'She just needs some air, she'll be in in a second.' I tell them.

'Wow, she must have had a lot to drink.' Lavender laughs to herself.

'You should have been watching her, Lav! You know how she is, she was sick of my brother and she was trying to get away from him at this stupid night club! You should have made sure she didn't drink anything!' I sigh.

'Well sorry! But Hermione's a big girl, she doesn't need us always watching over her.' Lavender says, a little annoyed. 'I mean, we all break up with our boyfriends! And we all have problems with the guys we like. So what? Ron rejected her! That doesn't mean she's going to die, she'll live. She just has to move on.'

'You KNOW it's not that easy. She's liked my brother since they frist met in first year! And she always kind of thought he felt the same way about her as she did for him. He did! He does, he still does but something is going on. Luna's up to something. But none the less, Mione's just really upset. Come on, Lav. You can imagin liking a guy for so long, but he's to stubborn to admit he likes you too, and now after six years, your finally getting somewhere with him, then snap! it's all down the drain because some crazy girl is doing something.' I sigh, leaning my head against the window, looking back at Hermione who is still sitting with her eyes closed against the tree.

'Wow, poor girl.' Adam says, looking at Hermione too.

'Yeah I know. I mean, I kind of even feel guilty. Harry and I are so happy, and Hermione and Ron ... well, you know. I really wish Hermione and Ron could have what Harry and I do.' I smile as I think about Harry.

'You've only been dating for two days, though.' Adam's voice crashes my thoughts.

'I can't help it if YOU don't understand my relationship with Harry!' I snap, glaring at him through the dark.

'Sorry, sorry. Maybe when I see you two together I'll have a better understanding of your 'relationship'.' He smiles innocently.

I roll my eyes and open the door for Hermione as she starts walking back toward the car. She crawls in and rests her head on my shoulder again, moaning and cursing aloud.

'Happy girl!' Adam mutters under his breath as he begins driving down the street again, toward the Leaky Cauldron.

I sigh and rest my head against the head rest behind me. Since when did my life get this complicated? I remember last year when my biggest worry was whether I should date Dean or not! Now I've got a drunk Hermione, crazy Lavender, two day old relationship with the Boy Who Lived, and a strange wizard who is now driving down the street with us in his car to deal with. Merlin, dealing with T.M Riddle was easier than being a teen.

'Okay we're almost there, should be another five minutes or so.' Adam says from the front seat. 'Does anyone want to stop for something to eat?'

'What?' I ask him in disbelife. He's offering to take us to get some food! Is he crazy? Hermione is trying to hold down dinner, Lavender is acting like she's had three bottles of firewhiskey and I'm about to throw something at him ... and he's offering us food?

'A late dinner .. or early breakfast, depends how you look at it. It's almost two in the morning now.' He smiles at me from the mirror.

'Adam?' I smile.

'Yeah Ginny?' He smiles back.

'Drive the freakin' car to the Leaky Cauldron where I can get my drunk friend to bed, and see my boyfriend!' I hiss. I can't believe him! He's taking this situation to lightly. He's driving three strangers around Muggle London and he's acting as though he's known us since we were all little.

'Sorry, just offering.' He keeps smiling. I'm starting to get the idea he likes seeing me in this mood.

Everyone in the car falls silent and we keep driving toward the barrier between Muggle London and Diagon Alley. Adam is staring into the darkness, watching the road, Lavender is watching the trees pass by the window, letting out a small stiffled giggle every once in a while. Hermione is half asleep on my shoulder and I am looking down at my lap where my hands stay fidgeting in them.

Finally we pull up just near the barrier, Lavender gets out and runs ahead to open it as Adam comes out to help me with Hermione. He takes her, holding her up around her waist as I get out of the car. I move to take Hermione back from him once I'm out but he takes a step towards the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron.

'That's okay, I've got her.' He looks down at Hermione, who's arms are around his next as she doses in and out of sleep. 'She's pretty.' He smiles to himself.

'Let's go!' I glare at him as I walk toward the Leaky Cauldron, Adam following close behind me.

We walk through the barrier and into Diagon Alley. Lavender is just walking into the Leaky Cauldron and Adam and I are following behind her. We step into the dull, dark front room in the Leaky Cauldron where Harry is standing next to the dying fireplace and Ron is pacing near a small table in the corner. What is he doing here?

'Gin! Is everything okay? Are you alright? What about Mione? Lavender said something happend?' Harry rushes toward me and pulls me closer to him. I smile and kiss him, thank Merlin. Someone I can count on to always be there for me.

'Harry.' I sigh, 'This night was just all one big mistake.'

'Who the hell are you? Get your hands off her!' I move away from Harry and look toward the door of the Leaky Cauldron. Ron is standing there glaring at Adam who is still holding Hermione up.

'Who is that?' Harry whispers.

'Merlin.' I sigh again and walk over to my brother. 'Ron! This is Adam, we met him at the night club and he was nice enough to give us a ride here. He was just helping me. He just brought Hermione in here.'

'Gin! What's wrong with you! You don't even know this guy! Give her to me!' He shouts at Adam as he grabs Hermione from him, taking her into his arms. He looks down at her and smiles as he kisses her cheek.

'Ron, give her to me.' I warn him. 'I don't want you touching her, I don't want you near her, I don't want you hurting her ever again!' I hiss at him. I am so tired of babysitting everyone. I just want to take a hot bath and goto bed, instead I have to stay here and keep Ron away from Hermione, Lavender away from Adam, Adam away from me, and Harry away from Adam. My life has become so mixed up since last year.

'Gin -' Ron starts but I cut him off.

'I don't know why you're here, I didn't call you over! Go home and stay the hell away from Hermione! You've hurt her enough to last a life time! Go home to Luna!' I take Hermione from him and Harry rushes over to me.

'Ginny, honey, don't worry. I'll take Hermione to the room I got upstairs, I want you to go get some coffee and relax, alright?' Harry gently takes Hermione and begins to lead her up the stairs.

I watch him as he leaves me here with everyone, wishing he would take me with him. Lavender walks up to us and starts smiling.

'Who are you?' Adam asks Ron.

'Hermione's ... friend.' He sighs. I know he wants to say boyfriend, but he doesn't even deserve that title.

'Ron? The one who screwed her up? The reason she's drunk?' Adam says harshly.

Ron takes a step toward Adam but I get inbetween both of them. 'Go HOME, Ron! You aren't needed here. I think you should get home and clean the house, Luna left a huge mess.'

'Ginny come on. Please, don't do this to me. Let me stay, I want to make sure Mione's okay. Gin, please?' He begs me, forgetting about Adam.

I stare my brother straight in the eyes, waiting for him to blink, but his eyes only soften as he says, 'Gin, please? I ... I didn't mean to ... I didn't want to ... I, just ... please?' He looks down and shuffles his feet.

I sigh, 'Fine, you can stay, but you can't talk to her or see her unless she says so. Got it?'

Ron just smiles, looks one more time at Adam and walks over to sit on one of the more comfortable sofa's near by.

'Nice friends.' Adam whispers as he walks past me and over to the fire place.

Where's Lavender? I look around, she isn't anywhere in the lounge. Wonderful. I walk up the winding stairs, wonding where she could have gone.
