"Ron, don't lecture me about being to young, your only a year older than me!" Ginny yelled at Ron.
It was a dull gloomy day and the rain outside was so heavy that Harry's second Quidditch game had been cancelled early that morning. This on top of the rain caused some severe boredom in the apartment that morning. Ron and Harry were playing chess and Ginny and Hermione were sitting in their room chatting. It wasn't until Hermione came storming out of their room red faced and angry did the day go horribly wrong.
Ginny it seems had decided to confide in Hermione that she and Harry had spent the night together and Hermione didn't take it well. Hermione came out and told Ron what they did and that leads us to the current situation. Harry is now cowering against the corner cabinets in the kitchen while Ginny and Ron are having a row in the living room. Hermione was standing in between the two areas of the open apartment looking ashamed of what she had done.
"Your just to young Ginny, your not even out of school yet!" Ron said while waggling a finger at her. "And you Harry, I can't believe you would do this, knowing that she is still in school, I thought you had better morals than that."
Harry was at a loss for words, he was afraid to say anything for fear of more yelling. "Ron, it's not like I forced her or anything."
"Ron, I can't believe you are this angry! You and Hermione have been snogging each other senseless for almost a month now! You're just upset because I'm your little sister. If your logic is that I shouldn't be having sex because I'm still in school then I think you need to have a little chat with your girlfriend." Ginny said turning red as her anger grew. "And you Hermione, how could you do this, what is your deal?"
"I guess I thought you were too young also." Hermione said. "Sorry Ginny, I over reacted."
"Hermione, what did she mean by having a chat with you about school?" Ron asked, he seemed to be changing his train of thought and focusing on Hermione.
"Oh, um…I don't think now is a good time, not when your so upset already." Hermione said nervously.
"Hermione you better tell me or I'm going to get even more upset." Ron demanded.
Ginny seemed completely relived that the focus was suddenly off of her because she slumped down on the couch and smiled. "Yeah Hermione, why don't you tell him the grand news!"
Hermione shot Ginny an almost deadly look before she turned her head back to Ron and took his hand in hers. "Ron, I was hoping to tell you all tonight but sense everything has just exploded I guess now is as good a time as any. Ron, I have decided that I'm going to go back to school and finish my seventh year."
Ron looked as though someone had slapped him hard, his face was turning Red and his eyes were wide with shock. "How is that possible, I thought you said you didn't want to go back? I know that Hogwarts sent us those letters but the three of us choose not to go back!"
Ginny quickly set up and looked at Harry. "You mean they gave you a chance to finish school and you did jump at the chance? Harry, how could you, we could have been in the same year!"
Harry left the kitchen and walked over to the couch, went down to one knee and looked Ginny in the eyes. "I'm sorry Ginny, I choose not to go back because of the Cannons, and Ragmar would have killed me if I joined then left a month later. That and I feel like I did finish school, I finished as much as I could."
Ron seemed to be ignoring the conversation between Ginny and Harry that was going on behind him. Instead his entire focus was on Hermione. "I can't believe you're leaving, this has been the worst day. First I find out my best mate and my little sister are shagging then I find out the woman I love is leaving me for a year. I…I need to leave." A single tear fell down Ron's cheek and then he disapparated.
Hermione looked over at Ginny and Harry, "Well, that went well didn't it, thanks a lot Ginny!"
"What are you mad at me for, you're the one who can't keep anything from Ron. I told you about Harry and out of friendship and you turned on me." Ginny snarled.
"I already said I was sorry! I over reacted." Hermione placed her hands on her hips.
Ginny got up, walked across the room, went into her room and slammed the door shut as hard as she could. Harry was getting ready to follow her when Ginny yelled through the door, "Don't even think about coming in here Harry James Potter! I'm mad at you too!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Several hours later and the rain was still pounding the windows. Harry and Hermione, the only two not mad at each other were to be found playing a game of exploding snaps. It seems that Hermione was winning do to the fact that Harry had now lost an eyebrow and had a nice burn mark on his nose. Hermione on the other hand looked perfectly fine.
"Ok Hermione, I think you beat me, I'm done being burnt." Harry said after the hem of his shirt sleeve caught fire for the fifth time that day. "You want to play something else?"
Hermione lazily waved her wand and put out the fire creeping up Harry's arm. "No, I don't want to play anymore games. I think I'm going to go look for Ron, it's getting dark and I want to make sure he is okay."
Hermione stood up and Harry followed suite. "Yeah, I'm going to check on Ginny, she has to of calmed down by now."
Hermione gave Harry a small kiss on the cheek, "We must be crazy for loving a Weasley." She said, gave Harry a small wink and apparated leaving Harry alone in the living room.
Harry took several deep breaths and walked over to Ginny's door then tapped on it lightly. Ginny didn't answer at first so he knocked on it harder, still she didn't answer. Harry was sure she should have heard it that time so instead of knocking again he just entered.
It was the funniest thing he had ever seen when he entered Ginny's Room. Ginny was lying on her bed fast asleep with almost every article of clothing she owned tossed all over the place. She had Harry's chocolate frog card in her hand and the goofiest grin he had ever seen on her face.
Harry was just about to go and crawl into bed with her when Ginny started making noises. They were unrecognizable sounds at first but as Harry inched his way towards her he started to realize that she was saying something. At first he didn't know what until suddenly she yelled out:
"Oh Harry!"
Harry froze, was she dreaming about what he thought she was? Harry couldn't help but laugh and blush all at the same time. So he continued on his mission of crawling into bed with her, lying right up against her and on top of all of her clothes. It wasn't until Harry moved when something poked him hard in the back, did Ginny start to wake up.
"What's going on, Harry! Why are you in my bed?" Ginny sat up quickly and started to blush violently.
"You were dreaming about me." Harry said matter-of-factly.
"How…how did you know that?"
"Because you said my name, well actually you screamed my name." Harry said, trying not to laugh. "So what happened in here anyway? Did your closet throw up or something?"
"No, I was trying to decided what to take to school with me, it's been awhile sense I had to pack for school and I couldn't choose." Ginny said while hastily picking up clothes off the floor. "What are you doing in here anyways, I was mad at you."
"Was mad at me? So you're not anymore?" Harry asked.
"No, I guess not but I still wish you were coming with me, we are just starting to get…well you know. And now I have to leave." Ginny said as she walked to the side of her bed and sat down by Harry.
"You will be home at the Holidays and the school year will be over fast, you won't even miss me." Harry said trying to cheer her and himself up at the same time.
"I will too miss you, every damn second!" Ginny retorted then threw herself on Harry and started kissing him passionately.
Just as Harry started increase the moment by lying Ginny on the bed and rubbing his hands under her shirt two loud cracks came from the living room. Ginny instantly stood up fixed her hair, and walked out of the room, leaving Harry frustrated. Harry followed suite and walked out to find Ron and Hermione in a passionate embrace with Ginny watching, looking repulsed.
