A/N: This part is shorter than others, I guess. But part five should be up later today, because I'm trying my best to finish before HBP.

Enjoy!

BTW, I'm pressed for time, so the reviewers response will have to be postponed...sorry!

Part Four: WTH is an AV Guy?

Ginny was sitting with Dean in the Three Broomsticks, sipping a bottle of butterbeer. She must have seemed preoccupied, because Dean asked, "Is something the matter?"

Ginny forced herself out of the trance. "Oh…no, I'm sorry Dean." She was silent for another minute, thinking. "Would you like to be in the band that I told you about, Dean? I mean, you are my boyfriend, and if you weren't a part of it, there would be a lot of time in which we couldn't hang out."

"Sure," said Dean. "I don't play any instruments, though. Maybe I could help with the equipment, sort of like an AV guy?"

"What's an AV guy?" Ginny asked, puzzled.

"Er, an audio-visual manager controls the volume of the amps and such."

"Just what we need! That would be great," Ginny said, kissing his cheek.

After supper, Harry, Luna, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny went to the Room of Requirement, focusing on what they needed—a place to practice their music. They walked past the bit of wall three times and went through the door that had appeared. "I hope no one minds that I asked Dean to come," said Ginny. "He's agreed to be our audio-visual manager."

"Audio-visual manager?" Ron asked.

Hermione then explained to Ron exactly what an audio-visual manager was, earning a kiss from him.

"Okay, not in front of the best friend!" Harry said disgustedly.

"Or the sister," Ginny added.

"Fine…" Ron said after he pulled away, grinning. "Er, all right, I guess it'll be okay if Dean joins us," he finally answered to Ginny. He still did not feel very warm towards Ginny's new boyfriend.

The door to the room opened once more and Dean came through it. He looked around and said, "Cool!"

The walls were covered in musical notes, and all of their instruments were set up in the center of the room, already plugged into the amps.

"Well, let's get started," said Harry, hanging the guitar over his shoulder. Hermione stood behind the keyboard, Ron sat on the drum stool, Ginny picked up her bass guitar, and Luna held her tambourine. Dean seated himself in a chair next to the microphone and amp controls.

Harry strummed on his guitar without pressing down any frets (frankly, he didn't know how to play…yet). It sounded through the whole room. "I hope this room is soundproof," he said.

Everyone started playing different things. The sound was so deafening that Dean had to turn off the whole system. "Do any of you play?"

"Hermione and Ginny do," said Ron, who was the most clueless of all.

"Maybe we could summon some professionals on the subject to teach us how to play," said Luna, speaking for the first time since they had started.

"You know someone who could help us?" Ginny asked incredulously, laughing.

"Dad did an exclusive in the Quibbler on the Weird Sisters. I could have him send them over," Luna said defensively.

"That's great, Luna," Harry said, frowning at Ginny for making fun of his new girlfriend. "How soon could they come?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, if I send the owl immediately," Luna said excitedly.

"You can use Hedwig," said Harry. He turned to the others. "I reckon we'll leave it here and come back tomorrow afternoon. I'll go with Luna to the Owlery."

Harry and Luna walked in silence, holding hands. In Harry's other hand, he held the Marauders' Map, making sure they didn't run into Snape or Filch. They entered the Owlery, and Hedwig flew to Harry's shoulder as they set foot over the threshold. He was glad she had not gone out hunting for the night.

Luna began writing a hasty letter to her father by Harry's wand light. When she was done, Harry fastened it to Hedwig's leg and told her, "We need to get this to Luna's father as soon as possible. Can you do it?"

Hedwig ruffled her feathers in a dignified manner and flew off into the night. Harry and Luna watched her until she was too far away to see.

"You know, Harry," Luna said, putting her head on his shoulder, "it is nice up here, all alone."

"Mhm…" said Harry, silently disagreeing. It might have been nice to be alone up there, but the place stunk of owl droppings.

Luna took her head off his shoulder to kiss him squarely on the mouth.

They kissed for…for…for…well, a really long time, so it was more like snogging. In fact, one might call it an all-out snogging session.

Suddenly, the door to the Owlery banged open. Ginny's voice said, "I was wondering what was taking you so…long." She saw them kissing and left the Owlery, slamming the door behind her.

"I'm sorry about her," said Harry. "I dunno what's gotten into her lately."

"Maybe she doesn't like us dating," said Luna seriously.

"No…well, maybe. But it doesn't matter what she, or anyone else, thinks. We like each other—a lot—that's what really matters."

"You're right, Harry," she said with a smile.

"It's getting late. I'll walk you to your common room."

A/N: Did you know that Christine LOVES it when people review? Just asking... :-)
