Disclaimer: Nope, as much as I would like to own the HP universe, I don't.

A/n: wow! I haven't updated in so long! It's been really busy here and I haven't really had the time. I really want to update faster, so I will try to take out more time to do the next chapter. Thanks to my beta for her editing and suggestion that I make the Sirius seen longer. And of course for making me finish the chapter. I would have avoided it if it weren't for her. So three cheers for MariaMalfoyesq.!

Chapter 17- Sirius, a fight, a wedding and getting it out of my system.

We stared at him in shock. "It's your name. Sirius is your name." I whispered. Oh Merlin! Don't tell me he has amnesia!

He looked at me in surprise, "I was named after a star? That's funny!" He smiled at us goofily and within seconds Chris started wailing, "He doesn't remember us!" Have I mentioned that she has mood swings at times? I started to cringe when I heard him laugh and saw him hugging her tightly.

Before I could say anything he swept me up in the hug and said "Gotcha kiddo!"

I shrieked in surprise and Chris and I whacked him a couple of times for playing a prank on us. Chris burst into tears again and asked him to forgive her while holding him tightly.

He looked at me with an amused expression from over her shoulder while he assured her that she was forgiven.

Then, finally when she let go of him he came up and hugged me tightly once again and whispered, "It was your idea wasn't it? Looking for me?"

I didn't reply, but he understood and tightened his grip around me and his voice broke as he said, "Thank you Gin, for everything." I nodded with my head on his shoulder.

"I missed you Siri."

I could feel his cheeks move as he smiled and said, "I missed you to kid."

I went to get some water and while I stood drinking it I watched as Sirius realized that Chris was wearing his ring. A broad smile broke onto his handsome face and he pulled her into a kiss. I smiled; everything was going to be all right.

II.

After we all talked for a bit, Sirius and Chris returned to the HQ, and sent me back to England to give news to Remmy and Tonks with a promise not to let anyone else know, except for Hermione that is.

I ran into Tonks's quarters and interrupted the happy couple, ahem…kissing. But the news I brought more than made up for that interruption. We did a little dance in a circle and cheered in celebration.

When I returned after the exhausting weekend to the common room I had been in high spirits, but what I saw only succeeded in angering me. Harry and Ron had ganged up on Hermione and were fighting about me! The two boys were trying to get information out of her using emotional blackmail. Ron glared at her and accused, "You're my girlfriend! You aren't supposed to hide anything from me! Don't you trust me? And what about Harry? He is your best friend Mione; he's been your best friend since first year! What did Ginny tell you? She's my sister! I have a right to know!"

Unbeknownst to him I stood behind him fuming in rage. "Actually Ronald, you don't." I growled out. I watched as his and Harry's ears turned red from behind. While Harry's stayed red, Ron's turned a sickly pale when he turned around to see me standing at the portrait hole shaking in anger.

Before he could say anything I pushed him aside and grabbed Hermione by the arm and dragged her to the exit. Before pulling her out I turned to Harry and Ron and said, "A few minutes ago, I was convinced this would be the best day of my life. I managed to do something I thought was not going to be possible. I was so happy, all I wanted was to be able to celebrate the fact that things were actually going well, but congratulations you two, you just destroyed my day. I have to admit, you have finally succeeded in making me miserable. Maybe Voldemort and Malfoy should take lessons from you because I have never been so hurt in my entire life." And with that overly emotional speech and tears running down my face I pulled Hermione out of the room and dragged her down the school corridors. Sinistra met us halfway through, took one look at my face and lead us to her rooms where she gave us tea and left us to talk.

"Did they really hurt you Gin?" Hermione asked.

"My brother was emotionally blackmailing his girlfriend, my friend, to tell him my secrets. If he needed to know, he should have come to me, instead of trying to be a Slytherin. And if I did not tell him, then he should respect my privacy. Whatever he says, in the end it is none of his business, just like what he's been doing for the past six years has been none of mine. I don't mean to sound petty Hermione, but if he feels he cannot trust me with secrets, I certainly cannot trust him with mine. And that goes double with Harry, tell me, when has he ever tried to include me in any of his secrets? Did he tell me about Sirius, no, I met Sirius by chance. Did they include me in any of their talks? No! It was always, 'Go away Ginny, we're talking'. Did he think that he should tell me about the Prophesy? No! Remus told me because I needed to know to be able to help them. They cannot expect to be treated nicely when they treat me like shit. I just won't stand for it any longer. They will be told in December as I promised, they should be glad I plan to tell them at all."

Hermione nodded. We discussed the issue a bit more and Hermione promised not to tell them what was going on no matter what.

III.

The next day after school ended, Hermione and I sat together in the common room since neither Ron nor Harry had the guts to apologize, or maybe they didn't think it was important to, I really don't know. Herms was finishing up her homework and I sat talking to Lily through the diary when the two prats walked in.

It amazes me to what extent their immaturity can go. They did not say one word to us, and when Hermione tried to wave to them they ignored us, went and sat on the opposite side of the room, and started whispering conspiratorially. I rolled my eyes and resumed sucking the sugar quill as I read what Lily was writing. A flap of wings alerted me to the presence of Chris's owl and I removed the letter from its leg. I started to dance around the room again when I read what it said. Everyone looked on in amazement as I bounced around with the flavoured feather sticking out of my mouth.

"They got married! They got married!" I chanted as Remus rushed into the room holding a letter of his own and joined into my slightly frightening combination of singing and dancing. Within minutes Hermione realized who got married and with a burst of un-Hermione like behavior she too joined us.

Suddenly Rem stooped and looked at me sadly, "Oy, the bloke didn't even make me his best man, he just went off and got married!"

I pouted back at him, "Oh come on Remmy, they were supposed to be married years ago, they've finally been able to get back together, besides didn't Snape give you his word that you would be his best man during his wedding?" Snape and Sinistra had gotten engaged but were waiting until the end of the war, or if things got settled down to get married.

Remus frowned at me, "He was drunk Ginny."

"That's true, but it doesn't mean you can't use it against him." I pointed out, and Rem became a bit more cheerful.

He went off to write back to Sirius and Chris, and I gave him a note congratulating them to attach to his letter.

Hermione had to go and see Professor McGonagall so I went off to look for Colin and Jacque.

As I was passing the stairs to the dungeons towards the Ravenclaw dorms a hand shot out and covered my mouth, while another one dragged me into the darkness. The person snatched my wand and pointed theirs at me "Don't move, don't say a word little Weasley. We don't want Arthur to find only itty bitty pieces of you now, do we?" asked the sickeningly sweet voice of Bellatrix Lestrange.

I froze in fear, forgetting about the powers I possessed. All I felt was pain and helplessness as she performed the cruciatus on me. Pain, so much pain flooded my body as I screamed but no sound came out as she had also put a silencing charm on me. Then it stopped. My head swam and I heard curses being hurled between two people. Something heavy hit my head and I drifted into the darkness.

IV.

"Ginevra, Ginevra Weasley! Ginevra wake up, here, look at me!" dark eyes, a hooked nose. Woah! Look at the bloke's hair! Wait, is that Snape? Yup. That's gotta be him.

"Professor?"

"Oh good! She's up!" I head him announce, and a cluster of people move around my bed. I looked up at the faces. Overwhelmed by the amount of red, I promptly fainted again.

Sometime later I opened my eyes to see my mother asleep on a chair next to my bed, my brothers scattered around the room, Hermione, Jacque, and Colin were also there. Snape and Sinistra were asleep on the couch and daddy had taken the other chair in the room.

My throat was absolutely parched; I tried to sit up to reach the water on the bedside table and groaned when I was unable to due to the pain. A boy about Ron's age got up from the corner he was sitting in and asked, "Do you need something Gin?" He ran a hand through his messy black hair, his bright green eyes held a look of concern. I realized after a few seconds that it was Harry. I murmured his name and he came closer.

"What is it Gin?" He asked. "Water" I replied hoarsely and he held the glass to my lips as I sipped the water.

"Listen, Ginny, I am really sorry. I know I have been a bit of a prat lately, I know it's none of my business, but I was worried and I didn't want anything to happen to you."

I didn't look at him. Instead I concentrated on the crack on the ceiling and replied, "Yes, yes it never was any of your business." I didn't say anymore, I didn't need to because he had understood.

He smiled at me sadly his hair getting lost in the darkness of that midnight's moment he said softly, "I thought we were friends" He sounded like a little boy who had been told on by his best friend. It was almost heart breaking to see the look of pure innocence on his face. But I was not in a mood to be merciful.

"Of course we are friends Harry, we were friends when I never made a fool of myself in front of you, we were such good friends that I knew I would be able to tell you about Tom, when you told me about the invisibility cloak, the marauder's map, when you told me about Sirius, when I met him for the first time along with Hermione and Ron, when I came to know with them that it was Pettigrew not Scabbers who used to follow me to the pond near the burrow and watch me swim, that it was a death eater, not a rat who used watch me change into a bathing suit. We've always been friends Harry, right from the very start!" I turned around so that I was no longer facing him. My body racked as I cried.

"Oh Ginny!" He said softly sitting behind me. He came and lay against me wrapping my body in his arms. I felt his tears fall against my skin and as I turned and snuggled into his chest, they mixed with mine.

A/N2: It's getting so fluffy, this fic was never meant to be this touchy-feely, but what the heck!

Lonesome-love: Thanks! Good guesses, I was really going to make it so Sirius had lost his memory, but everything would get extended. Then I was going to have Ginny loose her memory of anything to do with Harry when she was hit, but I was too lazy to create that scene plus an explanation, so I just went with a prank and an apology. Lol. Paige2310- I am not abandoning this fic, so don't worry about it. Well, I feel that Hermione may have given them some clues, but because they were egging her for information, she would have decided to be loyal to Ginny.
Annie: See, I gave you fluff, pure H/G fluff! I hope you liked this chapter.
Kiwiblue- Haha, that's what everyone thought, didn't think it was a prank didja? Trust Sirius to do something like that.
Been: lol, no time. Aaaah! SAT prep, finals, APs(well they ended-yay!), presentations, papers, and extracurricular activities, house stuff cause mum is out of town, taking care of my sick bro. I have a lot to do! I can't update soon, I'm sorry, but it isn't possible. I will try though.
Krissy gurl- Sirius is a prick, that's what's wrong with him. Lol. It's a H/G romance fic, yup they will get together…eventually. Happy ending though.
ShadowRose950: Was it what you expected? Keep reading!
Silver Warrior- Ouch! My uncle used to use those electric shavers and the take my hand and rub it on his cheek during the evening. It makes the hair really bristly and hard, ouchy! How hard can shaving be? I guess it would be more fun to see Snape everyone a surprise. Snape's not going to be all nice to everyone in this fic, so… Yup, it would be hard to pull one on Dumbledore.
FSUgurlforlife: Thank you! I hope you liked this chapter too.
Teleliniel- Thanks! I hope you liked this one too!
Destiny: Thanks! Gotcha! No amnesia…just a sneaky Padfoot.
MariaMalfoyesq- Thanks for everything!
KathrynPersephone-20: Poor Chris indeed, Sirius is cruel! Heh. Patience on the lion my dear, it will come up. Love Aerosmith! I have a lot of their songs too, but I haven't had the opportunity to go to any of the concerts. Hope you liked the chapter!
Smask- Glad you liked it!
Damthesqurilles: Lol! Wow! I feel so good about the fic. now! Hope you liked this chapter.
Kendercurrent- Oh, hush you! I am not going to even read your fic. How can you even like that paring? Ick! Nope I have too work this summer, if Snake wants to meet us, he'll just have to visit. My parents aren't going to let me go, I really want to though. He has a beach house somewhere, saw the photographs, it's beautiful! Stop listening to him, he's feeding you lies, the only time I met Rick was when he was in here.
