Chapter 5: Poke him in the Eyes!
"Hey you guys want to go swimming?" Ron asked from the doorway of Ginny's room.
Ginny and I looked at each other and shrugged, "Sounds great," I said, "Just give us a couple of minutes to get changed, and we'll meet you down there."
Ron nodded at us and headed off towards his room to get changed. I closed the door and opened my trunk in search of my swimsuit. I found it after a few seconds, and pulled it out.
It was a brown bikini with horizontal, turquoise stripes. Ginny's was a bikini as well except it was a dark shade of green. I went to the bathroom to get changed and reappeared just as Ginny was leaving her room. We walked together down the stairs.
"So, Ginny," I said as I giggled, "Any black-haired, Harry Potter you're trying to impress with your swimsuit?"
She laughed. "Maybe. Is there any red-haired, Ronald Weasley you're trying to impress with your's?"
I grinned in reply.
We headed out back, down to the lake. The boys were already down there. Fred, George, Ron, and Harry were all wrestling in the water, paying no attention to us as we sat down in the grass a few yards away from the water.
"Boys." Muttered Ginny under her breath as she rolled her eyes.
As if on cue the boys looked up. Ron, Fred, and Harry's mouths fell open. Ginny and I glanced at each other, grinning.
A minute later, Ron slapped Harry in the back of the head and yelled, "Ginny, cover yourself up!" As her three brothers came running with their towels, throwing them on top of her while she screamed her head off.
Harry ran up not long later, hit Ron on his head, and said, "Hermione, cover yourself up!" Then he threw his towel over me as I laughed. He grinned down at me.
I felt sorry for Ginny. She only wanted Harry to notice her, as it seems he did. He's off the 'market' too as some girls put it, which gives her a very good chance.
"How are Hermione and I going to swim if we have towels all over us?" Ginny yelled.
The three brothers looked at each other. "We never said Hermione had to have a towel over her, just you."
"I say Hermione has to have a towel over her." Harry said, while getting into his own over-protective brother mode.
"Well I don't care! I will not have towels all over my body while I swim, so you three can get over yourselves!" She stood up leaving the towels on the ground. I have to say, Ginny Weasley can definitely handle herself.
I stood up too, handing Harry his towel back. "Sorry, but I agree with Ginny." Harry shrugged and threw his arm around my shoulders.
"Well then you, Ginevra Molly Weasley, will go change into something more appropriate!" George said attempting to push her towards the house.
"I will not change either, so just grow up!" She swatted his hands away.
"Other solutions…" Ron thought aloud. The Weasleys sat there, thinking.
"I've got it!" Fred shouted as he punched the air above his head.
"What?" Asked Harry, who in my opinion looked kind of scared.
"Poke him in the eyes until he can't see anymore!" They started chanting 'Poke him in the eyes!' As they slowly made their way toward a defenseless Harry.
"Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes! Poke him in the eyes!"
He slowly started backing up, dragging me along with him.
"Wait!" I shouted. Everyone stopped and stared at me. "This is stupid. This was supposed to be a fun day, and," I pointed at the chanting pokers, "You guys, are ruining it. So just for once, shut up!"
Ginny clapped enthusiastically along with Harry who was glad that today wasn't going to be the day that he became blind. Not that he planned to in the future, it's just a possibility.
Ron looked at Ginny then to Harry a couple of times. Each time his gaze landed on Harry, he glared at him.
The twins looked at each other with horror-stricken faces. "Us?" Fred said.
"Fun ruiners!" George finished albeit over-dramatically.
We all rolled our eyes as they began to cry. "Oh George! Who knew?" He sobbed as he fake-cried into George's shoulder.
George pat him on the back as he began crying too. "It's just, why didn't anyone tell us before that we wer-"
"We were fun RUINERS!" Fred finished off. They continued on like this for quite a while until very suddenly they both looked up and dashed off toward the water while yelling, "Last one in the water is a rotten egg!"
Harry lifted me into the arms and sprinted off into the water. We ended up in the water after the twins, then, Ginny came, shortly followed by Ron who was yelling at the twins for 'cheating'.
"Ewww! Ron's the stinky, rotten egg! Everybody get away!" We all laughed and swam away as Ron chased after us. He grabbed Ginny and dunked her under the water. She came back up, spitting water onto him.
"Eww that's gross Gi-" She shoved him under the water, counted to five, and then let him come back up. She then dived under the water and swam away. I then saw the twins with evil grins on their faces, headed my way. I quickly swam over to Harry.
"Help me!" I hid behind him.
"Sorry I can only do that if Voldemort is attacking you." He said while laughing.
As if reading his mind, the twins said, "We are the evil Voldemort, and we've come for you!" Ginny was standing behind me, laughing.
"Ahh! It's Voldy!" Harry screamed as he jumped into Ron's arms. "Save me Ronniekins!"
I grabbed a hold of Harry! "Save me Harry!" Which left Ginny standing there by herself.
"Well don't just leave me here by myself! Save me Harry!" She grabbed a hold of him, too.
"Oooh we've come to kill you, all of you! Mwuahahaha!" 'The two Voldemorts shouted as they tried to contain their laughter.
"Wait." Ron said. We all stopped. He dropped Harry. "How come I got stuck saving Harry?"
"Oh save me Ron!" I swung my arms around his neck. We smiled at each other. "Better?"
"Rar!"
I screamed and- if possible- pulled myself closer to Ron as the twins advanced on us.
We both blushed at the closeness of our faces. He grinned. "Much."
Soon, we all wrapped our towels around us, and sprawled out on the grass, thoroughly exhausted.
"What do we do now?" Ginny asked.
Harry and I looked at each other.
"Chicken-fight!"
