Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters (damn)
Thanks to lily 101 for her review. Lily, I only leave names off when I think it's obvious who is talking, but thanks for your criticism. In the future I'll be sure to specify who is talking if it's three or more people.
Also thank you GG, harrypotterchick4ever, and haydenrocks14, I always love to hear from my readers. Harry really was kind of possessive in the last chapter, I hadn't noticed.

Chapter 2: At the Burrow Again
"Wow, they really have been snogging nonstop."
"I told you so."
Harry and Ginny had arrived at the Burrow nearly thirty minutes before, and Harry was still waiting for Ron and Hermione to come up for air long enough to say hello. Mrs. Weasley had greeted Harry as though he was her long-lost son, Mr. Weasley had gone speechless with excitement when he saw Harry's gift a portable CD player, Fleur had kissed Harry twice on both cheeks much to Ginny's displeasure, Bill and Charlie had each given Harry a warm smile and a firm handshake, but Ron and Hermione, Harry's two best friends in the entire world, hadn't even said hello.
"Hey Ron! I think Hermione might like to breathe soon!"
"Harry! When did you get here?"
"A half hour ago. I've been standing right here the whole time. By the way, when you snog someone, it really shouldn't look like you're trying to eat their face."
"Ha, ha, I see you've been talking to Ginny. What are you doing here?"
"Ron, you're cute and all, but sometimes you're really stupid. Harry is obviously here for Bill and Fleur's wedding."
"Oh, yeah. When is that, again?"
"Oh, Ron, you are hopeless," Hermione said with a small shake of her head. "How did you get here?"
"I'm not sure, actually. One minute I was moping in my room, the next Ginny was sitting on my windowsill, and the next I was here."
"Holy Moses! I think you just diffused! You can't even learn that!"
"As usual, Hermione, no one has any idea what you're talking about but you."
"Hey, just because you're my sister doesn't mean you can bad-mouth my girlfriend," Ron said indignantly.
"And just because you're my brother doesn't mean you can tell me who I can or can't bad-mouth. Anyway, I was just pointing out that we don't read as much as Hermione does, so she might have to explain what diffusing is."
"Right, Ginny, I forgot." Hermione said apologetically. "Diffusing is kind of like apparating, but you can't learn how to do it. It only works when you're with your, for lack of a better term, soul-mate, or you're trying to get to your, once again, soul-mate. I've never heard of anyone being able to do it, except in books."
"Then how did Harry and I do it?"
"Presumably, Ginny, when you wanted to get to Harry, you were concentrating on Harry so hard that you actually willed yourself to end up at Privet Drive. The same thing must have happened when you and Harry wanted to leave and come back here."
"So Ginny's my soul-mate?"
"It looks that way. Are you surprised?"
"Not really. I've always known Ginny was my soul-mate."
"Aww, that's sweet. It's also a load of bull-shit, and you know it!"
"Ok, so I've only known you were my soul-mate for the past couple of months, so sue me!"
"I'd rather snog you."
"Ginny, not with your parents here," Harry whispered so Ron and Hermione could it but not Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
"Lighten up, they don't care if Ron and Hermione snog, why would they care if you and I snog?"
"Because Ron and Hermione are seventeen and legally adults, so even if your parents wanted them to stop, they couldn't make them, and you are still sixteen, so your parents would be justified in cursing me into the next century if they caught us."
"They'd never curse you, Harry, they've wanted us to get together since before we wanted us to get together."
"Really?"
"Who knows, but it's a nice thought, isn't it?"
"Kids, young adults, pre-married adults, post-married adults, pre-post-married adults, everybody, lunch is ready!" Mrs. Weasley called from the kitchen.
"What was all that about?" Harry asked Ginny.
"I got mad at her for calling me a kid, so now Gabrielle is the only kid and I'm a young adult. You, Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, and Charlie are pre-married adults because you're of age or close but not married yet. My mum and dad and Fleur's mum and dad are post-married adults because they're of age and married, and Bill and Fleur and pre-post-married adults because they technically aren't married yet but they are getting married tomorrow so it's a little silly to call them pre-married adults."
"I think it's a little silly to call them 'pre-post-married adults'." Harry said under his breath as he followed Ginny into the garden.
