a/n: This chapter took so long to write. I was on a hiatus because of personal matters and just wasn't in the mood to write. The personal matters took longer than I expected and it was like every time I was in the writing mood again, something else would happen. But I eventually got in the mood again and was able to write this. I promised I'd never leave this story unfinished.

Ron pulled away with hesitation. Harry's eyes were closed in ecstasy and he was gently nibbling on his lip. It was a near perfect moment as they panted heavily; at least until Ron discovered that the cloak was no longer covering them.

"Harry the cloak!" Ron exclaimed. "Do you think anyone saw?"

Harry looked around the empty alley carefully and shook his head.

"No," he replied, "we're alone. But you're right Ron; we should go meet your Mum."

They picked up their assorted packages, and Harry stuffed the invisibility cloak back away. They walked towards the street slowly, Ron still looking around them with discomfort at the idea that someone might have seen them. Before rounding the corner and leaving the alley, Harry turned one last time to whisper to Ron.

"And don't think for one minute that pays me back for the robes," he said with a wink and a charming smile.

Ron turned briefly red at the comment and they walked in silence to the Leaky Cauldron

Hermione beamed as Harry and Ron entered the small, dimly lit room. In fact she hadn't stopped beaming since seeing them, but only Ginny knew why. As they approached the table, Ron caught Hermione's glance. He nudged Harry, but Harry could barely attempt to look before Mrs. Weasley swept out of her chair, pestering them about where they had been.

The look Hermione had upon their entrance had made Ron uncomfortable. He was afraid of the smile she had and was clueless as to the reason, which frightened him even more. He looked to Ginny for an inkling of explanation, but only found her looking confused and slightly upset herself. Her appearance only changed at Harry's glance when she showed him a small smirk.

Mrs. Weasley hurriedly rounded the children up, shoving them to the fireplace. Harry went first. As Ron stepped into the flames, Hermione and Ginny whispered quietly. They resolved that they had to let the boys know what they'd seen. It was a long road they were headed down, and they would need to know they had support; they needed all the support they could.

Ginny, followed closely by Hermione, stepped through the fireplace of the Burrow. They immediately started searching for their duo, but found them nowhere in sight. The girls decided that if Harry and Ron wanted to disappear so fast, that it was probably reasonable to give them some time before they continued their search.

Settling on their decision they positioned themselves under the shade of a small tree near the house. Hermione had her books and was revising as usual. Ginny was laid out on the grass next to her with thoughts of Harry racing through her mind as the clouds passed by.

Harry pulled Ron into the paddock until they were lost in a sea of trees. As the light of the day dimmed in the shade of the many trees, Harry walked to a tall tree, Ron still in tow. Placing his back against the tree, he pulled Ron in for a quick kiss.

When Harry pulled away, Ron spoke first. "Why do you have to tease me?" he scoffed as he bit the edge of his bottom lip.

Harry smiled at Ron's pouting. Staring into Ron's eyes, he licked his lips enticingly. "It seems we have some unfinished business," he started, "so, how are you going to pay me back?"

"How do you want me to?" Ron asked with a smirk.

"Surprise me."

Harry pulled Ron closer to him, placing Ron's hands on his own hips. Getting an idea, Ron shakily moved his hands to Harry's trouser button. He knelt down on the ground and looked into Harry's eyes.

"Will this pay you back?" he asked coyly.

"Only if you let me watch you enjoy yourself after." Then at almost a whisper he smiled and said, "I want to see what you'd do when I'm not around."

Ron bit his lip again at the tantalizing thought. It made him nervous, but in a good way. He smiled as he nodded slightly and turned his gaze back to the zipper fly. He took a deep breath as he pulled down the zipper and blushed as the tight pants revealed their prize. He parted his soft lips and leaned in to kiss Harry's "wand" with the thought that even though this waspayment to Harry, it'd be delicious fun for himself as well.

"Hermione, look!" Ginny said as she nudged Hermione's arm.

Hermione looked up from her book to see Harry and Ron walking towards them with smiles on their faces. They both had a twinkle in their eyes for each other. It was a twinkle that they thought no one else would understand.

The girls jumped up quickly to go meet with Harry and Ron. As the guys entered the yard, Hermione and Ginny grabbed them, breaking them from their reverie. Ron screamed a vacant, "Whaaatt the…" as they were pulled towards the broom shed.

"We know everything!" Hermione exclaimed in her best know-it-all voice.

Ron looked at Harry with fear in his eyes. His expression desperately asking Harry if they knew what happened in the paddock. Hermione and Ginny mistook the fear in their eyes for that of the realization of their love being found out.

With the silence becoming deafening, Ginny was the first to speak. "We saw you in Diagon Alley, when you're invisibility cloak fell," and then quickly added, "but don't worry, no one else saw you!"

The relief that overtook Harry and Ron's faces was partially mistaken again. Though they were relieved that no one else knew, they were more relieved that the girls didn't know how far their relationship had really progressed. Looking at each other, there was only one question left to ask.

"And you're ok with that…with us?" Ron stuttered to his sister and his best friend.

"Of course!" Hermione screamed with a smile on her face, "as long as you're both happy, then I'm happy."

Ron noticed Ginny's silence and motioned to her for an answer. As her eyes caught Harry's, she looked away quickly, seemingly caught up in the way the grass moved in the wind. "Just like Hermione said," Ginny finally stated, still not looking up.

Breaking the tension, Hermione chimed in, "Well I'm sure you two could use someone to talk to now that you don't have to hide this from us. Want to go for a walk?"

Nodding, they all head for the lake. Harry notices Ginny still acting very uncomfortable and touches her arm, motioning her back to their quiet spot behind the broom shed. When Ron looks back for Harry, he mouths that he'll catch up and to go on ahead.

With Hermione and Ron out of earshot, Harry finally spoke. He explained how sorry he was and that it just sort of happened. She could easily understand the situation as she herself had just kind of fell in love with Harry, but that didn't mean she was happy about it all.

He reassured her that all would be alright, vowing to always be there when she needed to talk to someone. And he promised to help her find someone to take her mind off of him. Though she was not ready to find someone else to replace him in her mind, the thought of a guy helping her comment on other guys was intriguing.

With Ginny's heart as ease, they went to catch up with the other two. As they approached Hermione and Ron sitting in the grass by the lake, they saw Hermione lightly punch Ron in the arm. Ron winced like a girl, but was still chuckling from whatever they were talking about.

Harry jogged over and sat with Ron. Chuckling, he attempted to give a pouting look at Hermione. "Oh Hermione, leave my delicate man alone or he might get broken," Harry started. Smiling, he looked into Ron's eyes and added, "And then what use would he be?"

Ron jokingly punched Harry in the arm and put on a fake frown. Harry laughed again and leaned over to kiss Ron gently on the forehead. Hermione laughed and Ginny sat down, a little more relaxed as she watched her happy friends.

Ginny's only wish was to find the happiness they all have during the new school year. As they continue to laugh and joke the day away, Hermione reminded them that there was only a week till the start of school. In her usual Hermione way, she told them they all should head in for dinner and go to bed early.

a/n: Finally we get to the good stuff. What's really funny is that I had someone on another site actually ask what Ron did to Harry. If you don't know, then you shouldn't be reading this. That's why it's rated R. And just in case I'll admit I added more to the scene here at (ff. net) just in case...and because an excellent fan keeps asking for lemons instead of limes...hehe.
