A/N: It's up! YYYYYAAAY. My computer has been unplugged, but it's in again and I'm up and running. I've decided to make the story a little longer then i thought , so thats good. This is kind of short, so the next will be a lot longer. This one was kind of a filler. Anyway, did you all read HBP? I finished in in one day! Ug, schools started again. Okay, on to the chappie!

Disclaimer: I own nothing

Ginny walked briskly out of the classroom with Luna by her side. It had been a long day, and she was glad it was over. With the exams heading their way, the seventh years were under complete havoc.

So much havoc in fact, that Ginny and Harry had barely a second to speak. Ginny privately agreed that life was much easier without having to worry that she would get expelled any moment. The sooner Harry spoke to Dumbledore, the better.

"So Ginny, how have you and Harry been?"

"Oh, well we haven't really seen much of each other lately. You know, with all the final exam studying."

Luna nodded, looking down at her text books. "I'm going to go to the library. I feel the need to study more."

"Okay. I'm taking a break for today." Ginny smiled, "Besides, maybe I'll get the chance to see Harry."

Luna took a turn up the grand staircase, Ginny headed outside onto the grounds with a book. The weather was perfect after all.

She leaned down against a tree by the pond. It's crystal-blue waters sparkled against the sun's rays as Ginny opened the book. Time passed by, and before Ginny knew it, the book was finished.

"What to do on such a beautiful day?" she pondered aloud.

"How about spending it with your boyfriend?"

Ginny spun around. Harry was leaning against the tree beside her, an amused expression on he face. He ducked however, as Ginny flung a punch at his head. "Hey, what did I do?"

"How long have you been sitting there?"

Harry grinned. "I don't know, fifteen, twenty minutes or so. You're cute when you read.."

Ginny playfully aimed a punch again, this time hitting her target. "You're even cuter when you have the famous Weasley temper, set on full flame."

"And you're cute when you're cowering in fear of my wrath." Ginny smiled at her boyfriend as he moved to sit next to her.

They sat that way for a while, looking out into the lake until Ginny spoke up. "You know we really shouldn't be sitting together like this. Some third year could just look out the window and see his teacher and a student snuggling. It may not compute."

Harry laughed. "Yeah, and then he'd see me lean in to kiss you-"

"-and I'd wrap my arms around your neck and-"

"-you'd fall into my arms and-"

"- we'd kiss." Ginny finished. "But that can't happen until you talk to Dumbledore."

Harry stared out into space, his face twisted into a guilty look.

"Well, to tell you the truth Gin, I'm not sure that I'm going to anymore. It's like something Lupin told me. When he my dad and Sirius were Animagi, they were all lying to Dumbledore. Part of him wanted to tell Dumbledore, but the other part of him . . . the other part of him didn't want to have Dumbledore know that he betrayed his trust."

Ginny looked down at her feet, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Harry was basically saying he didn't want to confess to Dumbledore that he was dating her. He didn't want to lose Dumbledore's trust.

The two were quiet for a while until Ginny spoke up. "Harry, if you really ever want to have a serious relationship with anyone, there has to be commitments. Loving someone is never going to be easy."

She turned to look Harry in the eyes. "If you can't tell Dumbledore a simple thing like this, then how will I know if you'll be able to tell me anything? If you're taking the short or hard way out of life?"

"Ginny, I-"

"You have to make a decision Harry. Dumbledore's trust, or our relationship. When you figure that out, find me. Until then, I'll be waiting."

Ginny picked her book up and walked towards the castle without another word.

Harry sighed deeply. He loved Ginny, he really did. It was just . . . it wasn't as easy as she had put it. Dumbledore had been a big part of his life. He couldn't just snap the friendly relationship.

"Arg!" Harry growled out in frustration. This wasn't the way life after Voldemort died was supposed to be. He was supposed to be living happily ever after with a wife, kids, and a dog.

"Since when is life ever easy for me," he mumbled miserably. "Now Ginny is mad at me. Maybe I should tell Dumbledore."

"Tell Dumbledore what?"

Harry spun around. Standing in the sunshine was Ron. He walked over, flopping down next to Harry. "Tell Dumbledore what?" He asked again..

Harry rubbed his forehead, thinking fast. If I tell Ron about me dating Ginny, he'll whip my ass. Then again, I can't lie to Ron. He should find out sooner or later anyway . . .

Just as Harry was opening his mouth, Ron spoke up. "Listen Harry . . . the reason I'm here is because-because . . . I think I got Hermione pregnant!"

Harry's mouth dropped. Ron? Hermione? Pregnant? Before marriage? Looks like we both have our problems.

"I can understand if you're surprised. . . it just sort of happened, y'know? We just found out yesterday. Hermione sent me a letter at Auror camp. Luckily Moody gave me a week to . . . to sort things out."

Ron looked at Harry, his face clearly asking 'what should I do' over and over again. "Um," Harry began. "Congratulations, but I just don't know what to say. One minute I'm sorting out my own problems with Gi- I mean my problems with work, then you come over with yours."

Ron stared out into the Lake, a blank expression on his face as he fumbled with his hands. Both men were quiet for a moment until Harry asked, "Does your mum know?" Ron shook his head slowly.

"We were going to keep quiet until Hermione started to, uh show."

Harry started laughing, running his hands through his hair. The situation was so classic. Both men had problems with their girls. Both men had no clue what to do. What else was there to do but laugh?

Soon Ron was laughing with Harry, grinning in spite of himself. When they finally settled down, Harry stood up, brushing dirt off his robes. "There's only one thing to do right now."

"What's that?" Ron asked, following suit.

"We get a drink in The Three Broomsticks." Clapping Ron on the back, both men headed off Hogwarts grounds to the pub.

Ginny stood up in the Astronomy tower, her hands in her robe pockets. She felt slightly guilty of the way she had yelled at Harry, but knew it was for the best. Besides, it wasn't like they were fighting or anything . . . right?

Sighing, she leaned against the edge of the tower, looking over toward the area where Harry had been sitting.

Huh? What's Ron doing with Harry? I thought he was supposed to be in Auror training. I wonder if something happened?

She was almost about to start running down to talk to Harry and Ron when both of them stood up and started walking away. Frowning slightly, Ginny slumped back against the edge.

Can this day get even more confusing?

"Hey."

Hermione's voice washed over Ginny softly as she turned into Hermione's bushy hair.

"I have to talk to you about something. Ron's talking to Harry right now." There was something in Hermione's voice that Ginny couldn't place. Worry? Fear? Guilt?

Maybe I was wrong. Today can get more confusing.
