Chapter 30: If Looks Could Kill...
Ginny and Harry walked into the kitchen to find a very tired looking Ron trying to eat his breakfast that Hermione must of made for him. With his head resting on his hand, Ron's arm finally give in and his face fell directly into his cereal. With his arms waving in the air and yelling a couple of choice words, Ron seems to of fully woken up. Ginny and Harry laughed at Ron's actions while Hermione just groaned at him.
"Well, I'm tired aren't I?" Ron replied to Hermione
"Yeah I wonder why" Harry laughed
Hermione then turned to Harry and gave him a look that could kill. She then turned to Ginny who was beginning to make herself some breakfast "Ginny, you shouldn't be doing that! Take a seat and I'll fix you some breakfast"
"Hermione! You are starting to sound like mum! But I still won't say no to some breakfast if you are going to make it!" Ginny replied
"Yeah Hermione I'll have some too! When I was here earlier all I had was some juice!" said Harry.
"I'm not your house elf Harry, you can get it yourself!" Hermione glared at Harry
"Ok, Ok Hermione! I just thought since you already made some breakfast for Ron and now you are making some for Ginny, I thought you might of been nice enough to make some for me!"
"Well for your information Harry, Ron is my boyfriend who was too tired to get his own and Mrs Weasley made me promise to her that I would look after Ginny while she is away. Now sit down and stop whinging and I will get you some breakfast too!"
Ron snorted at Hermione then turned to Ginny and whispered to her, "That's my girl!". Ginny simply laughed at that comment and then began to eat her breakfast that Hermione had placed in front of her.
"So, what's the plan for the day?" asked Harry
Ron turned to face his best friend, "I don't know, maybe some Wizard's Chess?"
Harry and Ginny turned to look at each other and doubled over with laughter. Ron looked at Hermione and shrugged. He then turned back to Harry and Ginny, "What's so funny you two?" asked Ron
Ginny, clasping her belly and tried to control herself, "Nothing, nothing. It'd just that if you and Hermione are going to be playing chess, I hope you do it with the doors locked and a silencing charm!"
Harry laughed even harder at that statement. Ron still looked confused "What do you mean? I don't yell or anything while I play chess!"
It was now Harry's time to try and control himself while Ginny laughed so hard, she nearly fell off her chair "Not that we know of!"
"Harry! Ginny! That's enough! Stop acting like 5 year olds!" Hermione threw both Ginny and Harry another look. Harry and Ginny slowly stopped laughing and ressumed eating their breakfast in silence.
After breakfast, Harry and Ron decided to play the real Wizard's Chess while Ginny was watching over them, whispering hints to Harry. Hermione sat beside Ron, reading a book about parenting that Mrs Weasley had left on Ginny's bed with a note stating to Ginny that she wanted her to at least read a bit of it while she was here. After two games of Wizard's Chess and one game of Exploding Snap, they were all startled to hear a loud "POP" coming from the hallway then an even louder crashing noise.
"Tonks!" All four of them replied together.
Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny came out on the lounge room to find Tonks putting the umbrellas back into the stand. "Ruddy thing! I always knock this down! Wotcher guys, just dropped by to see how you are." Tonks said cheerfully
"Hey Tonks, been busy?" Ginny asked
Tonks who was sporting long thick orange hair, looked at Ginny for the first time " Fairly busy. So how are you?"
"Fine Tonks, why?"
"It's just that your mum is worried about you. She asked me to check up on all of you. To make sure everyone isn't getting up to any mischief" Tonks looked at each of them and smiled.
"And why would mum send you, an auror, to check up on us?" Ginny demanded
"Ok, I'm caught out! Well, I was bored and I volunteered! Anyhow, I wanted to see if you are OK Ginny"
"Mum told you, didn't you? She can never keep a secret can she!" Ginny replied pacing up and down.
Tonks went over to Ginny and gave her a hug "Don't worry, I won't say a thing! Anyhow, do you guys have any chocolate? I'm starving!"
Hermione handed Tonks some chocolate as they all went back to into the lounge room and sat back into their usual chairs. Tonks turned to Hermione "So your mum and dad will be able to stay here once you are back at school"
"Can I see them?" Hermione asked
Tonks looked towards Ginny and Harry and shook her head, "No yet, it's too risky!" Hermione nodded back to Tonks "Well, better get going, heaps of work! Be good and don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Tonks smiled at everyone and left with another loud "POP!"
