Chapter-2

A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I enjoyed writing about Petunia. JK had said there was something more to Petunia than that meets the eye, but in HBP there wasn't any. So I made up.lol.njoy.

"Hello, Mr.Weasley", Harry said, extending his hand.

"Nice place, very neat these muggles are, aren't they."

"Er…yeah, Mr.Weasley, how are we going back?"

"I would be apparating back and you would be using floo powder.", he said looking around at the fire place.

"You are not going to break my electric heater again", said Uncle Vernon speaking for the first time since Mr.Weasley's arrival, once again spit flying everywhere.

"Not to worry, not to worry, there won't be any damage to your er… eklectic heater", said Mr.Weasley, with interest.

"Harry is your trunk ready?"

"Yes", Harry said pulling his trunk towards the fire place.

With a swish of wand, Mr.Weasley sent Harry's trunk and Hedwig's cage, probably to The Burrow. With another wave at the fire place, he leviated the electric heater and it came to a halt in mid air. The Dursleys just stared at them awed. Mr.Weasley pulled out a pot from his robes and gave it to Harry.

Before taking it Harry turned to the Dursleys.

"Well, bye then. Thanks for having me for these many years. Not to worry, I won't be coming back to you", he added.

Before Harry turned to take a pinch of the glittering powder from the pot, he heard a voice speaking.

"Take care of yourself Harry", Aunt Petunia said.

Before he realized what was happening Aunt Petunia gave him a hug for the first time in his life. He just stood there staring at her. Dudley was staring at his mother with his mouth open. Uncle Vernon's expression was unreadable, though he was also shocked as Harry. This was indeed very unusual of Aunt Petunia.

Harry didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth and closed it two times.

"Y..yes", he croaked.

He took a pinch of powder from the pot Mr.Weasley was holding at went to grate. With one last look at the Dursleys, he put the powder in the fire place and soared to green fire. He stepped into it and said clearly, The Burrow. He saw the Dursley's faces for the last time with a scared expression on their face and felt himself rushing away from this along a tunnel. He closed his eyes and then felt the rushing stop. He opened his eyes and found the grinning faces of many red heads.

"Hi Harry", said the long-nosed freckled boy as he helped him out of the grate in the Weasley's kitchen.

"Hi Ron."

He looked around at the small kitchen. Mrs.Weasley rushed to him and gave him a big hug.

"How are you dear? Come and have some soup."

Mr.Weasley entered the kitchen from the door just then.

"Was there any problem Mr.Weasley, Harry asked.

"No no, it was fine Harry.

Just then Ginny came into the kitchen. Harry looked at her grinning.

"Hi Harry, how were the muggles?"

"They were fine. How are you?", resisting his want to kiss her.

"Great", she said without meeting his eye, meet you later then…"

With that she left the kitchen without talking. Harry stared at her back hoping she would come back. He saw Ron staring at him.

"When is Hermione coming?"

"She is coming tomorrow. She is going to apparate. Remember, she has passed the apparition test….

"And you failed the first time, which part was left out Ron?", sniggered Fred as he and George came from work.

"It was half an eyebrow..", Ron said through gritted teeth.

"Ah..pity .How are you Harry?", asked George patting him.

"Fine, how is your business going on?"

"Blooming, we are thinking of opening a branch in Hogsmeade."

After finishing the soup, Harry and Ron went to Ron's temporary attic-bedroom. Harry wanted to talk to Ginny desperately.

"Er…Ron, you go up. I wanted to have a word with Ginny."

"Ok then…", Ron said looking suspiciously whether it was a word that Harry wanted with his sister.

Harry went further up and knocked at Ginny's bedroom.

"Come in", he heard a voice.

Ginny was sitting in the window sill staring at the sun setting. She gave him half a smile and got up uncertainly.

"What's up with you, why didn't you talk to me down?"

Without waiting for an answer he hugged her and kissed her. She opened her mouth to kiss him more. His tongue explored her mouth and their tongue's met. She let out a moan of longing ness as if this was the only thing she had ever wanted to do.

After what seemed like aeons, they broke apart. His breathing came in pants as she clinged to his arm.

"Whoa….I missed you a lot", he said rubbing her back.

" I didn't expect you to talk to me…after what happened in Hogwarts."

"I wasn't sure either till I came here. But after I came here I knew I just wanted you more than anything."

"Oh Harry!", she kissed him lightly on the lips.

"We had better get down. Everyone could be wondering where we are."

"Yeah, you I'll come in a bit."

Harry went down to Ron's room, he was feeding his over excited owl, pig some owl treats. Pig hooted happily seeing Harry.

"I was about to call you. Let's go down for dinner, am starving"

Mr.Weasley, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill and Fleur were already sitting around the small table.

"'Arry,"said Fleur Delacour, as he sat down on the chair next to her. She swooped down to kiss him on the cheek." How are you?"

Bill, whose face was better than it was the last time Harry, saw in Hogwarts, smiled at Harry. He seemed to be slightly embarrassed by Fleur's pompous behavior.

Ginny came down few minutes later and sat next to Ron, who kept throwing suspicious glances at Harry and Ginny. Mr.Weasley and Bill were talking about Ministry and the recent disappearing and deaths .Mrs.Weasley was serving them with her enormous and delicious dishes. Harry had second helping of everything. Fleur was humming silently and Fred, George and Ginny were talking about the Joke shop goodies. Ginny was telling them about their success of love potion which one of her class mate had used. Harry had his favorite pudding, treacle tart, which was as usual excellent. All were tired to talk anything. They lazily got up and headed to their bed.

Harry, Ron and Ginny went up the stairs together. Outside Ron's room, Harry stopped and hugged Ginny. Ron turned his face as they both kissed noise fully. Ginny bade them good night and went up looking groggy from the kiss, which was full of lust.

They both changed in silence. Harry fell in his camp bed, and then he suddenly remembered something.

"What about you and Hermione?", he asked Ron who turned bright pink in this.

"What about us?", he asked his color changing fast.

"Have you talked to her about you both?"

"Well, um, I guess not"

"Better ask out soon mate before someone else grabs her, mate"

"Yeah….may be I….", his voice trailed off as he disappeared in his own thoughts.

A/N: I hope it was good. Any suggestions or ideas are always welcome.I'll try to update soon.
