Four Way Connection

The Burrow - Part Two

Completely Messed Up

Harry's PoV

I follow the Cauldron worker out the front door and into the cool air. The sun has completely set and the sky is dark and empty. Emily turns around to face me once we're a little way away from the big doors; near a small bench. Emily sits down and sighs heavily.

'Look, I don't know any of you … at all, and I'm not much one for subtle so could you just shut up and sit down?' Emily says, rather bored.

Very confused I do as I'm told. Who the heck is she and what the heck does she want?

'Alright, look,' she pushes her long, black hair behind her back and turns to face me, 'Your crazy friend … the one with the flower/colour name? Wants to prove to your girlfriend that she's not useless so she's come up with one very messed up plan. I walked in at the very worst time and now, here I am, sitting here doing her dirty work,' she shrugs, 'I, personally, don't care if Flower Girl's plan works or if you and your girlfriend get time together. I really don't give a rat's tail if some girl named 'Mione' forgives your girl's brother, or if any of you ever get with the right person. I do, however, care to get you all out of here as fast as possible because it's way past one and normally this shift is much quieter.

'So this is what you're going to do for me. You are going to meet me out here on this bench in one hour. You will not be late, and you will not mention this to anyone.' With that this extremely weird witch gets up and walks casually back inside the Leaky Cauldron.

I blink a few times, just to make sure this conversation actually happened. When I've convinced myself it has I get up and walk back inside.

What is Lavender planning? And what does it have to do with Ron, Mione, Ginny, and me? It could be a very scary night if Lavender is in control. Very … very scary.

Ron, of course is still sitting on the sofa where Ginny warned him not to move from when I re-enter the Cauldron. But now Adam is back.

As I get closer I notice they're talking - this could get dangerous. I decide not to get involved just yet so I walk over to the small bar hidden in the shadows next to the stairs which leads upstairs.

No one is around so I walk behind it and begin to look inside some of the cabinets. I find a pitcher of Pumpkin Juice which is still cold, I guess from a spell. I take a goblet out from next to it and pour myself a glass.

'What!' Ron practically yells from across the room. Oh no, it might be time to get involved in the fight.

I walk out from the bar, goblet in hand, and over to the lounge area. 'What's going on?' I ask as I raise the Pumpkin Juice to my lips.

'Nothing. I was just telling Ron, here, that I think his sister is very pretty,' Adam shrugs.

At this, Pumpkin Juice comes spraying out of my mouth and onto the floor by my feet. Coughing, I gulp for air, 'Excuse me?'

This Adam guy is smirking, 'I said I think Ginny's pretty.'

Who does this guy think he is? Does he even know Ginny and I are -

'Stay the bloody hell away from my sister!' Ron is on his feet and in front of Adam in a second.

Most of the time, in a situation like this Mione and I are holing Ron back but as it is, Mione isn't here and this guy is talking about my girlfriend!

I move in front of the sofa, next to Ron, 'Listen, I don't know who you think you are but Ginny doesn't even life you.'

'Yeah, I hear, she's got a boyfriend who she's been dating for a whole two days … who she's barely even seen. Must be love!' He said sarcastically.

My fist clenches and I take a step forward; this guy is gonna be seeing stars.

'Harry!' I hear Lavender shriek from behind me. 'Harry! What are you doing? Leave his alone!'

She comes running down the stairs and plants herself next to Adam, 'Merlin! Adam, I'm so sorry! I can't believe this!' Lavender turns to Ron and me, 'What are you two doing?' She snarls.

'He was just … and then he … he said …' Ron starts but can't find the right words.

'He likes Ginny!' I complain.

'Oh please! He doesn't even know her!' Lavender snaps. Apparently she doesn't like the idea of Adam and Ginny either. 'Come on Adam; let's go get something to drink.' With that she drags his off to the bar.

'Who is that guy?' I ask, annoyed.

'I have no clue, mate. But if he actually believes he has a chance with Ginny …' Ron trails off.

'He's in for it.' I mutter.

We both sit down on the sofa and sigh. We're quiet for a few minutes until Ron laughs to himself.

'What?' I grunt.

'We're so messed up! Listen - Lavender likes Adam, Adam likes Ginny, Ginny likes you, you Ginny. I like Mione, Mione hates me, Mione thinks Luna and I are …' Ron laughs again, 'Could things possibly get any more confusing?'

'I don't know what's so funny … you're in more trouble that me, Ron. I've already got the girl I want … you on the other hand are an idiot. Mione loathes you.' I point out. This is hardly the time to be laughing.

'Thanks for bringing me down.' Ron's smile fades.

'Sorry, but don't you think you should use this time to figure out how you could possibly get Mione to forgive you?' I ask.

'Yes … that seems like the smart thing to do, but I figure, once Ginny goes to sleep I'll sneak into Mione's room and just explain this whole mess.'

'So you're going to tell her all about the Luna issue?' I raise an eyebrow.

'No, don't be stupid. She'd probably kill me if she found out.' Ron informs me.

'So you don't actually plan on explaining why you and Luna got in between you and her? You don't think she'll want to know?' I question.

'I'm hoping not …' Ron grins.

'She's gonna kill you,' I say bluntly.

'Harry … I already know that.' Ron sighs.

'Well good luck then!' I say brightly.

'Thanks,' he mutters under his breath.

'Seriously, it was no problem,' I grin.

'I'm gonna take a walk, get some air,' Ron tells me. 'If you go up to see her tell me how she's doing, okay?'

'Sure.' As he walks out I lay back in the couch.

I can hear Lavender behind me, flirting very obviously with Adam. I smile; he's not going anywhere until Lavender is finished. I've got plenty of time to spare.
