Betcha all thought I was dead. I realized that Chp. 4 was very poorly written, but I can't seem to rewrite it.
Muse: That because you're lazy.
You wanna go back into the darkrecesses of my mind again?
Muse: No, please, anything but that, please NOOOOOO!
Well...okay!
Muse: It sucks being the weak part in this mind. Maybe I should find some friends...

Disclaimer: I write this for fun. If I owned it, I would be writing the books and making sure that Harry and Ginny, and Ron and Hermione were together


Harry's POV

Snow swirled throughout the streets of Diagon Alley. A blanket of 4-inch thick crystalline white covered everything.

Now most sensible people would be at home, enjoying a cup of hot chocolate, maybe in front of a fire; the whole normal 'Christmas Scene' y'know? However, in the past week or so that they had been living together, Harry realized that Ginny was neither 'sensible' nor 'normal'. Well, he had already known that, but usually people grow out of those things with age. 'Although,' he mused, 'I'm not really what most people would consider 'normal' either now am I?' At this thought he chuckled lightly.

"What's so funny?" the red-headed girl walking beside him gave him a slight look of confusion.

"You..." she frowned. He laughed and continued. "Me... In the streets of Diagon Alley... In a blizzard... Because of a craving for a sundae." he laughed again.

She giggled slightly. "I can't control my food cravings. And besides," she glanced at him. "If I can eat what I want while only having to walk a short distance, then why shouldn't I?"

"I understand, but outside, in this." he pointed to the falling mass of crystals.

"Hey, it's not that bad, it's just lightly falling." she argued.

"Lightly?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Trust me, this is nothing compared to what we could be getting. It could be a lot worse you know." she replied.

"How?"

"Well, there could be sleet, freezing rain, icy winds, snow whipping at us instead of this nice slow fall, and..."

"I get the point... Ginny?" he looked at her.

"Hmm?"

"We're here." he said as he stopped outside Florescue's. After Voldemort's defeat, he had returned to his shop and reopened. Harry got discounts whenever he came as thanks.

He watched as her face lit up and a grin pulled at his lips, she was beautiful. They stepped inside...

"Ginny! Oh over here dear!"

A puzzled expression crossed over her face as she scanned the ice cream parlor. Then...

"Andrea!" she rushed over to the booth. Harry, slightly confused, followed.

The girl in the booth, who he now knew to be Andrea, was quite pretty. Her dark-blonde almost brown hair was down, brushing her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep ocean blue and she had long fingers. Judging by the height of her while she was sitting, and the quite long legs dangling casually off the end of her seat, he knew her to be tall. As said before, pretty. However, even dressed in a pair of blue dress pants, a pink t-shirt, and a black sweater did nothing to erase the obvious dominant aura that radiated from her. This was a person you didn't want to mess with.

Harry noticed her beauty, but she was nothing compared to the fiery red dressed in a parka and sweat pants beside him. Even if her clothes weren't precise and perfect, she was perfect to him. He cut off his line of corny thoughts and watched them chatter for a few minutes before coughing lightly to try to get Ginny's attention. He didn't particularly like being ignored. 'Or maybe you don't mind being ignored, just not by her' He blocked that thought away.

"Oh! Sorry Harry." he saw her grin sheepishly and he smiled back. She grabbed his hand and tugged him over. "Andrea this is Harry, my roommate." she looked to Harry and saw his face had gone red. Another puzzled look crossed her face as she followed his gaze to where their hands were still locked together. Her face flushed crimson and she let go, hastily sitting across the table from her friend. Harry sat 'beside' her. If you can count beside as her wedged into the niche and him on the edge of the seat.

Andrea's POV

Andrea, needless to say, was ecstatic in seeing her friend again. She hadn't been able to contact Ginny for some time now, and after finally calling her parents found she had moved. She hadn't bothered to ask for the number. If Ginny couldn't call her, then she must have been busy, so she waited. She knew Ginny would eventually call, when she had time; which she did, eventually. And Andrea was hoping to get details about her new manuscript from Ginny.

Andrea, you see, was her editor. She was also a past midwife, but that's not relevant at the moment.

This man however, was a bit of a surprise. She knew Ginny had a roommate, but Harry Potter? Now that was an interesting piece of information. Especially considering the fact that Ginny blushed like a teen caught up in a crush. In fact, both of them were still pretty red.

She knew about Ginny's past, her love life, including the 'relationship' with Harry. She knew about their break-up, and if the fact that they were both blushing like tomatoes, was any clue, Andrea suspecting that those feelings were still there.

However, Ginny hadn't told her about dating this man, which led Andrea to believe that they weren't together; which would have to be remedied of course.

Andrea loved to take charge, and this would be fun. If seven seconds of hand-holding got them so worked up, she wondered what a few little 'ignorant' questions would do. Holding back the feral grin and settling for a small smile instead, Andrea was quite certain that this was going to be fun.

Normal POV

After they had ordered and received their drinks, Andrea began with her 'investigation'.

"So... Ginny... You said this handsome young man's name was Harry? Potter I would presume." she asked nonchalantly with a small appreciative glance and a smile at Harry. She could almost feel Ginny as she gave a half-glare to her friend in annoyance.

"Yes." she was gritting her teeth. Oh this was even better than she thought.

"Really? So Harry..." her smile widened. "Are you and Ginny together?" she saw him choke.

"I... I uh..." he stammered.

"Hmm. I guess not. So I suppose that means you're free for a date?" she saw his shocked look and could swear she heard Ginny growl.

"Actually," Ginny said, her voice a little too loud. "We are together... Isn't that right Harry?" She gave him a smile and clasped onto his left arm.

After recovering from both shocks and seeing this as a way to stop Ginny's crazy friend's advances, he smiled back. "Yup."

"Oh excellent!" Andrea clasped her hands together. "You see, I've been meaning to invite you a small party Ginny dear. And I'm sure you'll have no qualms about bringing your boyfriend here along!"

"Uh..." Ginny glanced at Harry for help and both of them seeing no way out replied, "Sure."

Ginny's POV

After Harry excused himself to go to the bathroom, Ginny heard Andrea laugh slightly.

"What's so funny?" she asked.

"Oh Ginny dear, teasing you is so much fun." her friend laughed at her glare. "And now since you both are coming to my party together," the emphasis on the word 'together' scared Ginny, scared her good. "Maybe now you'll finally act on your feelings and tell him that you like him!"

"You can't expect me to believe that this was all some plot you concocted to get us together, can you?" she asked her friend in disbelief.

"Oh but I can, and I will. The party's this Friday at 7. Don't be late." she rose from her seat and made to leave, but then paused. "Oh, and Ginny?" at her friends glance she continued. "Wear something nice, but easy to get out of." with a giggle and a flutter of fabric, Andrea was gone.

Her face as fiery red as her hair at her friend's words, Ginny could only groan and smack her head repeatedly on the table. 'Why the hell is she my editor again?'
