A/N: Once again it has taken me months to update. I've really got to stop being so hooked up on Clay Aiken man...it's scary. On another note I would like to say to Riser155; Sorry but I'm not a Brit so tell me how the fuck am I going to know what they say? Hahha..that was a kinda joke thingy...ya know fuck and fuck...hahha. Now, on to the story!

Downstairs

"Well, since we can't use magic outside of school I guess we're going to have to move everything out of the way using muggle tactics." Ginny sighed.

"Do we have to? I mean Harry and Ron could always do it. In fact they should because they're the men here." Kat stated indignantly.

"Boys, not men." Deirdre said all-knowingly, "And, for once, Kat is right."

"Alright, alright already. I'll go get the boys." Ginny huffed, seemingly annoyed.

Upstairs

A knock on the door interrupted Harry's train of thought. "Yes?" Harry said in an agitated tone of voice. However, as soon as he saw Ginny's face peek through the door, his expressions softened.

"Sorry to bother you Harry but I was wondering if you could help us move all of the furniture out of the way for the sleepover?" Ginny said quietly, almost timidly.

"Sure Gin. Sorry for being so rude." Harry said, slightly abashed for his attitude.

"It's fine, I'm sorry I interrupted you. Anyway....hey, where's Ron?" Ginny said, finally noticing his absence.

"I don't know really. Probably outside or something. I'll go find him." Hermione said, finally making her presence known.

"Okay, thanks Mione'." Ginny said.

"No problem, but you owe me." Hermione said, as she walked out of Ron's room and downstairs.

"Why do I get a bad feeling about that?" Ginny asked, thinking aloud.

"Probably because Hermione, although very nice and sweet, can be conniving at times." Harry said, answering her rhetorical question.

"Aaah, that's probably it." Said Ginny, "Alright lets go move the furniture...fun fun!" Harry laughed at her sarcastic comment and followed her down the stairs.

Downstairs

"What's taking her so long?" Deirdre asked, seemingly annoyed.

"Now who's being stupid? They're probably making out. Haha." Kat said, laughing at her own humor.

"I don't think so. We could have a bet though. If she comes downstairs with tousled hair and wrinkled clothes then you win. If not, I win."

"Alright I'm in. 5 knuts each?" Kat inquired.

"Sounds about right." Deirdre said taking both their money and putting in a jar on top of the fireplace.

On The Stairs

All of the sudden Ginny tumbled down the first few steps, lost in thought.

"Ow! Damn that hurt." Ginny said as she attempted to get up.

"Oh my gosh, are you okay Gin?" Harry asked worriedly, leaning forward to assist Ginny.

"I think so but now my hair and my clothes are screwed up. I'll just run to my room and change. I'll meet you down there." Ginny said turning to go up to her room.

"Oh no you don't. I know what you're trying to do." Harry said smirking.

"Oh really? And what would that be oh clever Mr. Potter?" Ginny asked with a smirk of her own.

"You're trying to get out of helping out downstairs." Harry said, his smirk getting slightly larger and more taunting.

"What? Me? Innocent little Ginny? Never!" Ginny said, putting on her best "innocent" face.

"Riiiiight. Sure Gin. Innocent? You? Ha! I doubt it." Harry said, laughing loudly at her antics.

"Fine. Lets go." Ginny said pretending to put, as she started to make her way downstairs. Suddenly Harry picked her petite frame up and had her on his shoulder in one fluent motion. "Harry what are you doing? Put me down!" She demanded.

"Oh no Gin, I don't think its safe for you to walk down these steps after falling. You should let your legs rest." Harry joked, as he carried her lightweight frame down the stairs.

"Harry put me down." Ginny repeated, nicer this time.

"Nope. Your act is not gunna work on me." Harry said, smiling a smile that looked as if it was going to break his face.

"Fine. But if you're going to carry me at least give me a piggy back ride." Ginny said.

"Okay," Harry said as he paused in the middle of the flight of steps, "Just swing your legs around." He commanded.

"Done. Now lets go."

"Okay, whatever you say, boss." Harry joked, earning a light slap from Ginny.

Downstairs

"Where the hell are they?" Deirdre asked angrily, afraid to lose the bet.

"Oh, now is someone afraid to lose?" Kat said tauntingly.

"Lose what?" Ginny said from Harry's back.

"I don't think we want to know." Harry said, looking at each of them in turn.

"Harry's right. You don't want to know because it is so stupid." Kat said, trying to cover.

"Childish, even." Deirdre assisted Kat.

"Yes, definitely childish." Said Kat.

"Pathetic, really." Deirdre continued.

"Absolutely pathetic. Absolutely." Kat confirmed.

"Okay you two I think we get it." Ginny said, hopping down off of Harry's shoulders just in time as Ron walked in the room.

"See Ronald, everyone is here waiting for you." Hermione said to Ron in an "I-Told-You-So" voice.

"They are not just waiting for me. And don't call me Ronald, you know I hate it!" Ron said, angrily.

"Since when did you hate it? I don't recall you ever telling me that you hated it." Said Hermione.

"Stop being a smart ass you knew I hated it even if I didn't tell you." Ron said, his red face showing his anger.

"Think we should stop them?" Harry whispered to Ginny.

"Probably, but watching them is so much more fun." Ginny said with an evil twinkle in her eye.

"You are so right." Harry agreed, a similar twinkle appearing in his eye as well.

"How am I supposed to know you hate it if you don't tell me? I can't read minds Ronald." Hermione said.

"Yeah, you can't because maybe if you did YOU WOULD FINALLY REALIZE I'VE LIKED YOU FOR ALL THESE YEARS!!" Ron screamed, "AND DON'T CALL ME RONALD!" he finished as he ran up the stairs, heading for his bedroom.

"Wha-wha-what did he say?" Hermione whispered ashen faced.

"I think now is when we should help. Fun over." Harry said.

"You get Ron, I'll get Hermione." Ginny said.

"I'll be right back." Harry said to everyone.

"You guys help me with Hermione." Ginny whispered to Kat and Deirdre. They both nodded in reply.

"Hermione how about we go upstairs to my room and have some girl talk. That would be perfect right?" Ginny said, grabbing Hermione's arm gently, and leading her upstairs. Hermione just nodded blankly, seemingly in a daze.

Upstairs In Ron's Room

"Ron?" Harry said as he knocked lightly on he door before opening it to no response. When he walked inside he found the room empty except for the light breeze that was coming through the open window. 'Wait,' Harry though, 'open window? Open window!' "Ginny!" Harry said bursting into her room, "Can I talk to you in private for a second?"

"Um sure, hold on." She said as she whispered something to Kat and Deirdre. She walked into the hall closing the door behind her. "Okay, whats wrong? Calm down. Deep breaths." Ginny said soothingly.

"When I went into Ron's room he wasn't in there but a window was open." Harry rushed, he was so nervous!

"Oh my gosh Harry..."Ginny said looking pale.
