Going riding was… an experience to say the least. Harry was good at it, riding Buckbeat was a bit similar and Harry was a natural at nearly everything he did. Hermione was graceful as ever of course on her horse, she had taken lessons on and off since she was young. She helped Ron out with his horse and he flushed when she got on behind him and put her arms around his waist to show him exactly how to hold the reins. Draco… after being coaxed by Riley and Taylor to actually get on the horse, then it took another round of coaxing to for him to allow them to actually teach him. Trey had decided to become Ginny's personal instructor… something that earned a dirty look form Harry to Ginny and a comment from Mrs. Harrison, "I think Ginny's captured my Trey's heart… they're adorable." She told the other girls, who simply giggled and nodded.
Ginny trotted around in a circle as trey held on to a rope to keep her horse in check. He watched her ride gracefully completely captured by her infectious smile. "You're a natural Gin," Trey called out to her. "Prancer loves you, don't you boy?" Ginny grinned and the chestnut colored mare behind the ear as she rode.
"Would you like to try and cantor Ginny?" Trey asked.
"Cantor?" Ginny asked unsurely.
"Yeah, its basically a run, sort of…" Trey said unsure of how to explain.
"Show me." Ginny said pulling the horse to a stop and dismounting.
"I have a better idea," Trey said getting on.
"What?" she asked looking at his open hand.
"Come on... you said show you." Trey said trying to coax her.
"Uh uh… I think Willow's doing fine with just you up."
"Oh come on, he's a strong horse."
"No I'm perfectly content with our positions right now."
"Don't you trust me?" he asked pleading at her with his deep eyes.
"I have the feeling I'm going to regret this." Ginny sighed and mounted behind him.
Trey started off Prancer walking, then trotting until he was in a full out cantor. "See, not so bad." He said bringing the horse to a stop then dismounting. "Only cause there was an experienced rider at the reins." Ginny laughed from on top of Prancer. "Come on… I wanna see you have a go at it before we leave." He said. "Oh alright," Ginny sighed taking off again. Mrs. Harrison stepped into the center of the paddock with Trey as Ginny went in circles.
"She's quiet the natural isn't she?" Mrs. Harrison commented.
"She's amazing for her first time on a horse."
"Ginny darling, you look like you simply belong on that horse." Mrs. Harrison called out.
"Thank you."
"Don't you think Ginny's pretty?" Mrs. Harrison pressed on Trey.
"Yeah she's pretty." He shrugged watching Ginny intently.
"Mmhmm… alright. Well I think you guys did very well today. I leave the days activities up to you all. Be good… but go shower at the house first. You reek of the stables!"
After all the horses were untacked they made their way back to the manor to change. They decided it was too late for the beach or shopping so they decided to go out to dinner and the movies. After everyone was dressed, (the girls taking forever of course) they piled into Trey's black Range Rover and made for a restaurant in town.
They went to a restaurant called "Blue Crush". It was designed in true surf fashion with surf boards for tables and pillows on the floor for seating. The walls were waves of color that gave off an Acid trip vibe. On the colorful walls were signatures of famous people, especially Surfers and logos like Billabong were everywhere.
"Oh, its amazing in here… there's so much color!" Hermione cried once they all sat down. They ordered and sat around in a cheerful chatter, after dinner they had about and hour to kill before the movie started. So Trey drove down to the theater and they all lounged in the car with the doors open and the music on. Ginny sat in the front seat with Trey. Hermione and Ron were sitting in the back of the car with the back door propped open while Draco, Harry, Taylor and Riley sat in the back seats of the car, each in their own little conversation.
:Ron and Hermione:
"What's going on with Harry and Ginny?" Mione asked as she played with her hands. "I don't know. Trey asked if anyone was dating anyone and I was gonna say Harry and Gin but Harry cut me off and said no one." Ron said watching her. "Really… but I thought…" Hermione said looking up in confusion. "Yeah, I know. When I asked him about it he just got all bothered by it and said he and Gin had only kissed a few times, how Gin was a flirt and two could play that game." Ron said, his voice dripping with annoyance. "Oh, those two… simply have to grown up!" Ron shrugged. "It's their mess to clean up. They brought it upon themselves." Hermione looked at him as he watched the lights of the theater.
"How can you say that?"
"Say what?"
"Say that, how can you say it so carelessly… he's your friend... and your little sister."
"Exactly I know them both well enough to know that interfering is madness. Harry is a few days short of 17 and Ginny is 16. They know what they're doing and im not going to get myself in the middle of it because they're both stubborn and its too much… ugh… for me to want to TRY and deal with."
"… I see… well I suppose your right."
"I am?"
"Well yes… we can't keep telling them what to do."
"Wait lets go back to that im right thing."
Hermione rolled her eyes and leaned back in to the wall of the car beside Ron, a few moments later she rest her head on his shoulder. Neither said a word and sat there enjoying this passing hour.
:Draco and Taylor:
"Do you know, I currently have a bruise on my side from you sir?" Taylor teased him about that morning's events, all of her prior embarrassment shed.
"Oh, im so sorry did I hurt you terribly?" Draco asked concernedly.
"Yes!" she remarked with a pout and mocking puppy dog eyes.
He chuckled. "I'm really sorry but uh… finding a girl in my room while im in my towel is a fantasy come true… I didn't realize what a bugger I was being, could you ever forgive me?" Draco asked with a mock genuine plead.
"Well, oh… alright. But only because…" Taylor leaned into his ear. "You looked very scrumptious standing there in nothing but your towel." She whispered in his ear. Draco laughed.
"You know, you're going to get me hurt by your brother." Draco whispered back.
"Now I think it's a small price to pay for moi." She said.
"Well, though I fully agree… I don't believe I'd be much use to you with out limbs"
"Well your face is cute... I can work with that."
"I think you're a beautiful, flirtatious, maverick in chic clothing, what do you think?"
"I think you're more then absolutely right… but you've got that kind of genuine smile that says you won't take advantage of my ostentatious ness."
"Maybe…"
Draco drifted off…earning him with a hit. "What is with you and the hurting me?" Taylor grinned and laid back into the seat. Draco shook his head and glanced over at Harry and Riley, who where finding ways to play with each others hands.
: Harry and Riley:
Riley sat facing Harry the two of them lacing fingers and fighting with one another. It was clear he was letting her win.
"Now Harry I know I'm strong, but you've played quidditch your whole life and stuff, you kno your naturally strong so for me to beat you…. I 'd like to toot my own horn but… this isn't exactly fair play now is it?" Riley said letting their hands fall in between them, still laced together.
"Well, that's the point… I couldn't very well beat you… its rude." Harry said. His English boy manners and innocent charm drove Riley crazy… it was "tres adorable" she thought.
"As totally cute that is and all… come on gimme something."
"But… I don't want to beat you."
"So don't just give me something to work with."
"Why don't you just entertain yourself with punching into my palm?"
Riley pouted… she squeezed his hands and brought them back up to try for a game of mercy. Harry smiled sheepishly at her, "I'm sorry I can't." Harry shrugged and Riley sighed and pouted with defeat. "Trying to get you to fight me is tiring!" Riley leaned her head on the back of her seat still facing sideways towards Harry. "I'm sorry." He repeated doing the same thing as she. Riley rolled her eyes… "Sure you are" she squeezed his hand and closed her eyes, That one squeeze led to a whole other game of "You Squeeze I Squeeze".
:Trey and Ginny:
"You rode amazingly today, best I seen most people do on their first time out."
"Thank you, and thanks for teaching me… I had a lot of fun."
"My pleasure… anytime I can give a pretty girl a lesson… I'm defiantly at her disposal."
"Well aren't you sweet." Ginny laughed.
"I try."
"How long have you been riding?"
"As soon as I was aloud on a horse, so I guess since I was about 5."
Ginny nodded and aloud for a calm silence to come between them, the only noise between the two was everyone talking behind them and the car radio. Ginny looked towards the back of the car… it was never so quiet b/w her friends… this was odd. Draco was sitting next to Taylor they looked to be just having a casual conversation, Ginny knew better. Both of them had talked to her about a certain attraction for the other. Ginny thought it was cute and told Draco that he and Taylor would make cute blonde babies something that earned her a dirty look.
She looked over to Harry and Riley… they were holding hands. Ginny turned back around and looked out of the window. When exactly was it that she and Harry had went from innocent kisses in his kitchen and Grimmuald Place to a full out war? What exactly was going on? She was just so confused.
"Hey, you okay?" Trey asked bringing her back.
"Huh? Yeah, sorry. It's just that since the war and everything I tend to zone out sometimes."
"Yeah, I can imagine. I guess we should head on in for the movie." Trey said. He didn't want Ginny to feel uncomfortable. They all headed over towards the theater. Ginny, Ron and Draco were forced to hide their complete fascination with the movie theater, they'd never seen anything like only what the others had told them.
After the movie the drove back to Willow Creek but before they could make it to the manor they were stopped by a police officer. Two police cars were parked on the other side of the street and had their sirens on and lights flashing. What was going on?
