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

A/N : Alrightie, on thing to mention, I'd just like to let everybody know that ... I've made some revisions to that lovely time line I just spoke to you about. I originally hand it down for a little over 10 chapters to go but now, I've gone over it a fifth time and it has somehow made it's way down to six (counting this chapter)! So we're almost there! Looks like I'm going to finish this one before HBP comes out! Great! Anyway, don't feel cheated or anything! You're going to get the same thing you would have with 10 chapters as you now will with six. I just hacked out the stuff you really didn't need at all, which would only make the plot messier. I mean ... how many twists does one plot need anyway? I've got little over 100 in here already! lol Anyway, I've gone off the path and away from my original point. So here ya are! Enjoy!

Four Way Connection

The Burrow - Part Two

Death By Chocolate Frog

Ginny's PoV

The pile of spit up Every Flavour Beans is slowly getting bigger as the time passes, I note. I've been sitting here for at least fifteen minutes which is about fifteen minutes too long. Where did everybody go? I bet Lavender forgot about me completely and is, at this very moment, down in the lobby flirting her head off with that creepy Adam guy. I'm going to have to remember to kill her when I finally get out of here.

I toss aside an empty Chocolate Frog wrapper, adding to the mess sitting around me. Boxes of Beans, half eaten Ice Mice, a few sticky Acid Pops, and more Frogs than I can count. I neatly stack the cards in a pile and place them by my knee. I've been in here way too long. I've already eaten half contents of the cupboards and pretty much everything off the shelves.

What if I'm in here all night? All morning? All year? All of my life? I'd better ration things out, I don't think Lavender would remember to feed me. I make myself more comfortable on the bed, which is difficult seeing as there are more wrappers and rejected Beans on it then possible. I toss a half eaten box to the side, there, I'll save that one for later.

I have already drunk all of the Pumpkin Juice so my throat is dry and sticky from all of the candy. There's also a rancid taste in the back of my mouth, like a mix of vomit and ear wax ... not pleasant.

I begin to open my billionth Chocolate Frog of the night when the door knob starts to turn. I freeze, if that's Lavender I'll choke her with this Frog.

'Gin?' Harry asks nervously as he walks in, almost falling back as he slips on the scattered Every Flavour Beans which I had thrown at the door earlier that night.

Once he's regained his balance he looks over at me and bursts out laughing. I pout. Does he think this is funny? I've been trapped in here for what feels like a year and he's laughing at me! I throw the Chocolate Frog which I was about to eat ... or choke Lavender with, at his head.

He ducks, 'Hungry?'

'I've been in here forever!' I whine.

'Gin, it's only been fifteen minutes! I would hardly call that forever.' He grins and carefully steps around the mess on the floor.

He comes to sit down beside me, pushing over some of the empty wrappers.

'What,' he points, 'Are those?'

I smile sweetly and reply, 'Those are gross tasting, half eaten, spit up Beans.'

He gives me a look that clearly says 'Gin that is disgusting!' which makes me laugh.

'Chocolate Frog?' I point to the unopened pile.

He takes one. 'What's Lavender up to? Some strange witch who works here pulled me out and told me to meet her outside in an hour. Then she took me up here and practically shoves me in.'

'Really?' I raise an eyebrow, 'Same thing happened to me ...' I stuff a Frog in my mouth and place the card on the pile by my knee.

Harry fiddles with the package of the chocolate, 'So? It's been a crazy few days, huh?'

I shake my head, 'I can't believe all that's happened. Especially with my brother! What the heck is wrong with him? Did someone slip something in his Pumpkin Juice or what? He totally had Mione to himself for a while there! Then he went and messed it all up!'

He looks down and opens his wrapper, 'Listen, Gin. Ron ... he, well I mean,' he fumbles for words, 'You see ...,' giving up he sighs, 'Ron screwed up and believe me, he knows it. But he didn't mean to hurt Mione ... it's complicated, there's a lot you don't know.'

I narrow my eyes, 'What? Harry! Are you hiding something from me? You know what's going on with my git of a brother? I can't believe this! You took his side in all of this?' I jump off the bed and walk over to the cupboards and start throwing them open furiously.

Harry looks up at me, 'No, Gin. I didn't take his side, but ... I mean he's my best friend. He just messed things up a bit. He didn't do anything really bad. It doesn't equal murder! He just tried to make things fit but it didn't work out too well.'

I bang a cabinet shut, 'Wait ... you know why he went out with Luna, don't you!'

'Er yes ... well ...' He stutters.

'Tell me! Now! I think both Mione and I deserve to know!' I glare at him.

He gives a small laugh, 'And why do you deserve to know? I get why Mione does, but why you?' He pops the Chocolate Frog into his mouth.

'Are you kidding me! Do you even know how many long hours I spent with her? Just listening to her talk about him? Or cry about him? Or rant about him? Do you know how many times I've walked into a room and four her glaring at a window? Do you know how many times, against my better judgement, I asked her what was wrong? Do you know how many times I watched her go from being mad at Ron to sad because of him? Did you miss the part where I was dragged to a Muggle night club where Mione and Lavender got drunk and I had to pick up the pieces! Did you happened to miss all of that? I think, at the very least I deserve to know what is going on!' I breathe.

Harry is just smiling at me. 'Nope, I got all of that. But it's not my story to tell.'

'You told me you didn't know what was going on. Back at the Burrow you told me you had no idea what was going on in Ron's head!' I take a step closer to him, 'You lied to me.'

'I didn't lie ... I just -'

'Didn't tell the truth?' I supply.

'Look, Gin. I'm sorry but Ron asked me not to mention anything. At the time he thought it would all work out perfectly. He was wrong, obviously. But he asked me not to say anything about it. So when he's ready he'll let Mione know ... and if he thinks you ought to know, he'll let you in on it as well,' he shrugs and I think I'm going to kill him. Where'd that Chocolate Frog go? I - will - kill - him!

Harry smirks and pulls me closer to him. 'Hey? I don't think Lavender and the Cauldron worker locked us in here to give us some time to argue.'

I open my mouth to say something with a matter of fact tone but I'm cut off by Harry's lips on mine.

He always knew how to shut me up ...
