Ginny couldn't sleep that night. She kept tossing and turning and staring into the darkness. Normally the darkness was comforting, there were no eyes watching you and everything looked the same, but tonight she felt like it was taunting her. She turned to look at her alarm clock. The numbers glowed: 2:15. Ginny sighed. In just 9 hours I'll see Ron again…and Harry…WHAT? Well I mean obviously….but it's not like I'm still in love with him. OMIGOSH! Sleeping late does funny things to my mind. Ginny pulled her pillow over her head, as if it would cover up her thoughs, then she tossed and turned for another few minutes and finally fell asleep.

Ginny awoke energised the next morning at 9:30. The sun was shining through her bedroom window and she could hear the birds chirping from outside. She lay there for a moment longer taking in the calmness of her surroundings. I could stay in bed all day, forget whatever I was supposed to do today. Ginny opened her eyes wide and sat up straight Harry!. She jumped out of bed and dashed to her bathroom. She showered and washed her hair with her favourite pear scented shampoo, then dried and straightened it. It hung around her shoulders looking silky and shiny. She walked back into her room with a towel wrapped around her and went to her closet. Now for the difficult part.

Twenty minutes later Ginny was ready. She checked herself out in the full length mirror on her wall. She had wanted to look great, but also like she hadn't tried. She had on a light blue halter top, black jean skirt, converses and a charm bracelet that Harry had given her. Each charm meant something special. Love, hope, peace, friendship, unity, happiness and forever. Okay so maybe I should ditch the bracelet. She fiddled with the clip, but the changed her mind. Hey, it looks so good it would be a shame to take it off. She didn't bother with makeup, she didn't need it. She bounded down the stairs pulling her trunk behind her.

Ron had told Ginny and her Mum to meet them inside a muggle restaurant. It was a small building covered in ivy with few windows. The sign read Ivy's Bar (hence the Ivy) but was almost illegible from all the plants.. Ginny and her Mum got there fifteen minutes early, but when they went inside they surprised to find that Ron, Harry and Hermione were already seated at a table inside. Ginny and her Mum didn't bother waiting for the waiter; they ran through the restaurant and threw their arms around Ron at the exact same time.

"Mum, Gin, you're strangling me," Ron gasped.

"Sorry," Mrs.Weasley said, "It just feels like so long since we last saw you." Next Ginny threw her arms round Hermione, who hugged her back happily. She stepped back and looked at Harry. Oh, what the hell She threw her arms round him and continued to hug him for longer than both Ron and Hermione together. Finally she realised what she was doing and pulled away. Her Mum was crying, but they looked like tears of joy.

"I'msorryI'vejustmissedyouallsomuchit'ssogoodtoseeyouagain!" Mrs.Weasley said without pausing for breath.

"Calm down Mum, you're going to faint if you don't," Ron said.

"Oh, Ron…you've become so sensible, you're growing up so fast."

Uh-oh. I can see where this is going

"Yes Mum, and just yesterday we were in our nappies. We know!" Ginny said.

"Lets order," suggested Hermione.

Everyone agreed and the chatted and ate happily for the next hour. There was so much Ron and Hermione had to tell them, but Harry kept pretty quiet through out the meal. When it was time to leave and say goodbye to Mum, Ginny suddenly felt like crying. She wanted to go with Ron so badly, but she couldn't bear the thought of leaving her Mum alone in the house. Harry seemed to sense this, because he squeezed her hand as they got up and shot her a comforting smile.

"Take care honey," Mrs.Weasley said hugging her again.

"I will, and I'll write every day," she said.

"Don't worry Mum, I'll look after her," said Ron. Mrs.Weasley hugged them all again and then apparated quickly before she broke down in tears.

The four of them stood there in silence for a moment longer then Hermione said "We should go, we don't want to be in public for too long. Take a hand Ginny, and hold on." Ginny grabbed the hand nearest to hers, which belonged to Harry. It took all her effort not to smile with joy, but a moment later they were standing in a tiny room and Harry had let go. "It couldn't last" Ginny remembered Harry's words and they stung her, but she pushed them aside and began unpacking her trunk. She would be sharing a room with Hermione, next to Ron and Harry's.

A short, skinny man was also thinking about Harry at that moment. To look at he was very plain. He had fair hair and was balding slightly, his skin was very pale and his eyes were brown, nothing special. The only thing that made him stand out was his smile. His to front teeth had gold caps, but seen as he didn't smile very much he was perfect for this job. He was hunched over a muggle telephone in a booth talking in a whisper.

"Yes, that's when I lost her…Yes…She left with the rest of them, but the woman went home….No…..Are you sure?...As you wish."

He hung up and walked out into the sunshine. It didn't suit him, and it was obvious that it wasn't just the outside of him that had lived in darkness his whole life.

"So Hermione, are you dating my brother now?" asked Ginny lying on her bed, her head propped up on her elbow.

"Um…no," Hermione said turning a deep shade of pink.

"But you want to right?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know…I mean that would be kind of weird don't you think?"

"No, not at all. You mean because of Harry?" Ginny considered this, "It wouldn't be. Harry dated me, the best friend's little sister is weirder then the best friend. Trust me."

"I guess," Hermione replied still not sure.

"And besides, I've always thought it would be really cool to have you as a sister in law. And that could definitely happen!" As soon as Hermione got the joke she picked up a pillow and threw it at Ginny's head. Laying down she asked:

"What exactly is going on with you and Harry now anyway?"

"We're just friends, I think maybe that's all we were ever meant to be."

Ginny didn't say any more and Hermione presumed that she had gone to sleep, but she was wide awake and thinking. What really is going on between me and Harry?

Okay, so that's the third chapter finished. I hoped you like it…I haven't slept in like 24 hours and my head is almost hitting the keyboard so I'm not really sure if it's any good, but please criticism plz!
