A/N: Hello everyone! This is my first attempt at fanfiction, so please, be nice. But I'm always open to suggestions. I want to know how I really did, even if it means a flame. Just know I'm new... Oh, and I don't own Harry Potter, blah blah blah... As if I would actually try to make money off this... As is if I could...

Also, I'm adding this in quickly, later, and I mention this in chapter four, but PLEASE, leave a review for each chapter. I would really appreciate it, authors need love too. Thank you so much!

The Pain of Love

Chapter 1: A meeting gone wrong

---------------------

Ginny kissed Harry deeply. She loved him more than words could express. They had been dating for three years, since right after they had both gotten out of Hogwarts, and she couldn't think of living life without him. And right now she was excited.

She broke the kiss and smiled at him. "So, are you ready?"

Harry smiled back at her, "Of course, baby. How do you think they will react?"

Ginny grin widened, "I think they'll be very happy for us. And I'm pretty sure Ron and Hermione suspected something. Well, scratch that, I think Hermione suspected us, and told Ron." Ron and Hermione had been dating since 6th year at Hogwarts, and were pretty much ready for marriage.

Harry's grin turned into a contemplative frown. "I sure hope so. I don't want to have all your brothers against me. With Ron it was one thing, but you're their only sister, and the youngest. I would HATE to be at the bottom of that dog pile!"

They both laughed and walked down the stairs to the living room, where the whole family was waiting...

-------------------------

They could all guess what the announcement was that Harry and Ginny had gathered them there was. And her brothers had a plan. They were all chatting quietly when Harry and Ginny walked into the room, holding hands.

"Mom, Dad, my beloved brothers, Hermione, we have an announcement."

"Yes dear?" Molly asked.

"Umm... me and Ginny, I-I mean... Ginny and I have been... what I mean to say is... we've been..." Harry stuttered.

Ginny cut him off, a little less nervous. "We're dating," she said matter- of-factly. "We have been for three years. I don't really know why we have been hiding this from you, except that Harry was kind of scared of your reaction," she giggled nervously.

There was a long silence. All a part of the plan the brothers had, of course, but Harry and Ginny didn't have to know that.

-----------------------

Harry was worried. There was a awkward silence going on. And her brothers were frowning. They aren't very happy about this... are they? he thought to himself.

Suddenly, all the brothers began to advance on him.

"Guys," Ginny said, panicked, "Please don't! I love Harry!"

They continued to advance. Ginny got more and more worried by the second. She walked up to Charlie, who was leading the pack of brothers, and slapped him across the face. He was shocked. She went to each of them in turn and slapped them before they got over the shock and realized what she was doing. Then she walked back to Harry.

"How could you all?" Ginny yelled tears welling up in her eyes. "Can't you see I'm in love? Why would you do this?" By this time she was screaming, "I love him more than words can say. Why can't you just leave us alone!"

She ran up to her room, crying her eyes out. Harry shot them a dirty look, as if to say that they should be ashamed for making her cry, and ran up after her.

When they left, Charlie turned around and said, "Well that didn't go as planned..."

-------------------------------

Up in her room, Harry was cradling Ginny in his arms, rocking her back and forth and petting her hair, trying to calm her down. She couldn't stop crying though.

All Ginny's brother's walked into the room, then, looking apologetic.

"Hey, Ginny, calm down, it was a joke." Ron said, "We were just trying to freak Harry out. We didn't mean to hurt your feelings."

Ginny was furious, and soon forgot the fact that she was just in anguish, her tears drying instantly in her eyes.

"You did what!" She screamed. "You made me go through all that pain for nothing! You are such horrible people! How could you do this to us?"

Her brothers all gave each other hesitant looks before looking to Harry for a little help. He mouthed to them, "Go, let us be along a while," and then turned back to comfort her again.

As the Weasley boys walked away they could hear Harry gently whispering things like, "It's okay. They didn't mean to hurt you like that. They were just trying to have some fun."
