Time: One year after graduating from Hogwarts
Summary: Harry has graduated from Hogwarts and is now living in the U.S. as a representative for the United Kingdom's Wizarding Society Auror System. Ron and Hermione desperately want him to return, so they devise a plan; they will tell Harry that Ginny is pregnant, attempting to make him jealous over his girlfriend. The problem? Gin and Harry were never together, and Gin is still a virgin. So the two decide to play a trick of their own…..MWAHAHAHA!

Chapter 1:
Harry threw himself down onto his bed, closing his eyes with a sigh. He loved his job, really he did, but why were these Americans such idiots¹! And what is so bloody great about my so-called accent! I don't have an accent; it's all these gits!
He pulled off his tie and was beginning to unbutton his shirt (no robes here, thank you, he had been told…..only about four billion times. Stupid Americans and their 'radical' ideas.) when an owl with a fiery red envelope grasped tightly in its claws entered the room through the open window.
Oh, what in the bloody hell! He thought, rather frightened as he recalled a similar envelope sent by Mrs. Weasley in their second year. And though this one was probably not about dragging him back home by his ear if he had a toe out of line again, it was still a rather unnerving experience.
"HARRY! YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT MY" we wont mention these words, as they do not need to be repeated, "SISTER DID! SHE WENT AND GOT HERSELF KNOCKED UP! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! GAH! YOU HAVE TO RETURN IMMEDIATELY AND AID ME IN KILLING THE WANKER THAT DID THIS TO HER!"
Harry stared blankly at the now flaming envelope, not quite comprehending what was being told. After several moments of calm, thoughtful silence, there was a flurry of movement inside #5, Dragon Claw Inn, when Harry tossed aside the still burning Howler, not bothering to notice that he was flinging ashes throughout the room and a small fire was now starting on his curtains, he was so intent on getting to the bottom of this newly presented problem.
Throwing a handful of floo powder into the fireplace, he called out sharply, "Hogwarts, Gryffindor Common Room". Being the savior of the Wizarding world had many privileges, he noted, happy about his status for once. His happiness would not last more than three seconds, however, as at that moment the Lion's den appeared before him, and in it a redheaded young woman sat chatting merrily with her friends. He scowled once again before grinding out, "Virginia Leanne Weasley, what in the sodding hell do you THINK you were doing! Do you realize how incredibly, completely, utterly STUPID that is, to do…." He turned a bright shade of red, "THAT while you are still in school! Why would you in the first place! How could you be such an…..IMBECILE!"
She looked at him, bewildered for a second before excusing herself from her friends and walking slowly over to sit before the fireplace, making her eyelevel with an extremely angry (not to mention powerful) savior of the world. Gulp.
Calmly, she suggested, "Why don't you tell me what you are speaking of, and I will tell you if I did in fact do it, how and why I did it?"
He was about to speak, but she raised a hand. "Also, you need to quiet down just a bit, as the whole common room is now watching you." He glanced around, only to find, much to his chagrin, that a common room full of amused (and somewhat frightened) Gryffindors were staring apprehensively in his direction.
"I just got a howler from Ron and Hermione," he whispered to her, to which she replied, "You can speak louder than that you know."
He glared at her before continuing, voice now even, "Anyway, Ron was screaming about you being pregnant! Now, tell me, how did this come to pass?"
Ginny stared at him for a minute. "He told you WHAT? First of all, I'm NOT pregnant,and probablyNEVER WILLBE! Besides, how CAN I be pregnant? I'm still a-" she cut herself off. " Nevermind that. I don' t know why they would make up something like that, but I WILL make them pay." she added with the same evil grin as Fred and George. "I will make them pay dearly."
He looked at her for several long moments before a crafty, sly expression (some would call it positively Slytherin, but how could Harry Potter, epitome of everything light, EVER be compared to that?) stole over his face. "It'll be tough to get them back, but...I'm game if you are. I can't believe they did this to us, the stupid prats," Harry exclaimed, outraged.
"Oh. We'll get them back," Ginny told him. "We are going to make them wish they WERE telling the truth." She gasped. "That's IT! Harry, come on. We've got major planning to do."
They had forgotten about the Griffyndor common room, all of themstill watching and listening in some sort of awe.
¹Just so you know, we are Americans ourselves. We just thought it would be rather humorous. No offense intended!
