A big thanks to all my reviewers you have all been a great help. Here is chapter 4 as requested.


Harry woke up the next day and lay on his bed thinking then he remembered that he and Ginny where back together. He felt like jumping up in the air and shouting for joy but he had to contain that urge. He got up and dressed and went down stairs.

Ginny and Petunia where in the kitchen. They both looked up as he entered petunia got up and started to make some tea. Harry took the seat across from Ginny and she grinned at him he looked around and saw that Petunia had her back to them. They both quickly stood up and kissed each other across the table and sat down again. Petunia put a plate of toast on the table and sat down again. Ginny looked up at Harry and saw that he was deep in thought. "What's the best way to distract Harry Potter?" she thought to herself.

Harry was in the middle of a day dream when he felt something run up his leg. He caught Ginny's eye she grinned at him and he realised that she was running her foot up his leg. He grinned back at her.

Dudley and Vernon came in "mail call," said Vernon. He handed 1 to Petunia and 2 to Ginny. "Looks like my mum has decided to write im going to read these up stairs." She looked at Harry as she said this he got the point and left the room shortly after Ginny.

He walked into Ginny's room she was sitting cross legged on her bed he went over and sat facing her. "Anything exciting?" he said.

"Not in mums letter she is just talking about Bills wedding and stuff."

"And the other one?"

"Fleur. Listen to this." She started to read aloud.

Dear Ginny

How are you? How is your mission going?

"I can't believe she put that in writing."

Since you are in London would you please meet me next Wednesday for a dress fitting?

"She thinks I can just stop everything couldn't she just wait until I get home."

Harry took the letter off her and read aloud.

I'm sorry if this is a bad time but I couldn't get another appointment. It's the only time my sister can come before the wedding. Please write back and send by owl. Tell Harry I said hi.

Lots of love

Fleur

p.s. I no you will think of something to tell the muggles.

He stopped reading and looked at Ginny. "It won't be that bad it's only a fitting."

"I suppose so."

They looked at each other Ginny went over and sat on harry's knee. "So what do you want to do?"

"I don't know," he sighed.

"How about this." She kissed him

"That's good."

They stated kissing and they didn't notice Dudley walking into the room. He stood there for a couple of minutes until he took a step forward and a floor broad creaked. Harry and Ginny stopped and looked at him. "Do you mind were kind of busy," said Harry.

Without a word Dudley left the room.

"Do you think he will tell," said Ginny.

"No he's too daft. Now where were we?"

They started kissing again.


The next day Petunia, Vernon and Dudley went out shopping. Ginny was in the shower so Harry thought he would do some research on the spell. He sat on his bed and looked in his History of Magic book. "Merlin im turning into Hermione," he said to himself. Ginny poked her head though the door. "Harry I just got a letter from mum she is going to phone later just to let you know."

"Ok Gin."

She retracted her head.

Later that day the phone rang Harry answered it. "Hello?"

"Hello is this the Dursley's."

"Yes hello Mrs Weasly how are you?"

"Im fine dear how are you?"

"Im not to bad thanks."

"Is Sarah aka Ginny there?"

"Yes I will get her for you now."

"Thank you dear I will see you soon."

"Talk to you soon Mrs Weasly."

"Sarah," Harry shouted.

"Yep?" answered Ginny coming down the stairs. "Your mum," he said handing her the phone.

"Hi mum. Yes im fine thanks how are you? Glad to hear it. Yes tell Fleur I will meet her on Wednesday and ive told the muggles. Ok see you then. What? I don't know yes im sure he would like that. Well he likes all your cooking. Right ok see you on Wednesday. Love you too. Bye mum." She hung up

"Well?" said Harry.

"Looks like mum can use a phone Hermione is a good teacher."

"Good for her," after he said this he kissed her. "I like doing that."

"Me too," she replied.


The next day Ginny was in the living room lying on the sofa nearly falling asleep she finally dosed off. However she could still hear everything gong on around her. All of a sudden she felt someone's lips on top of hers she started to kiss back but then realised that it wasn't Harry. She opened her eyes and saw Dudley before she could push him away someone grabbed him trailing him from the room.

Outside she saw Harry throwing Dudley to the ground. "What are you doing you freak?" shouted Dudley from the ground.

"What the hell do you think you are doing?" Harry shouted.

"What?" Dudley said getting to his feet.

"You have no right to come up and kiss me! You tried it before and I gave you a black eye!" Ginny shouted.

"You have no right!" shouted Harry.

"I can treat her better"

"You think you can treat me better don't talk shit you don't know anything about me!"

"Dudley give up she doesn't like you."

"You've just gotten to her she doesn't know you're a freak and that you go down with one punch."

"You don't know me very well do you dursley." Harry said grinning.

Suddenly Dudley ran forward and punched Harry. Harry looked at him "you've got to be kidding me the old one two wont help you hear. This is what it is supposed to be like." Harry punched Dudley and he fell to the ground he tried to get up again with little success as Harry and punched him in the face and broke his nose. Harry turned his back on Dudley and Ginny ran over and hugged him. "My turn," she said.

She walked over to Dudley pulling out her wand. "You recognise this Harry can't use magic outside school but I can so how about a nice pair of ears and a tail to match your pig like qualities." Dudley shook his head "I didn't think so and if your parents ask you fell down the stairs." And with that her and Harry left the garden and went inside.


When they got up to harry's room Hedwig was on harry's bed holding a letter. He opened the letter and read aloud.

Dear Mr Potter

Your apparation test is due to take place on the 2nd of august and 10am. When you come to the ministry please make your way to the apparation office.

Hope you are having a nice summer

Yours sincerely

Tom Reid

Apparation department

He stopped reading. "Looks like I better get in some practice." He told Ginny.

"Well you will have plenty of time tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?"

"Yeah im meeting Fleur tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Think you will be able to survive without Me.?

"I can try." He said smiling.

The next day ginny was just about to head out and Harry thought he would play with Dudley abit by play he was going to apparate from room to room just to how he would take it.

Ginny came into his room just before she left "see you later," she said kissing him goodbye.

He knew that Dudley was watching TV so he pictured the living room in his mind and before he knew it he was there. Dudley looked up at him and Harry waved at him. Dudley ran out of the room and Harry followed by apparating again. He followed Dudley to every room in the house twice. Harry finally apparated back to his room "that's enough practice for one day," he said to himself.

About 1 hour later Petunia, Vernon and Ginny came back. Harry was in the living room when Ginny walked in and sat beside him. "Hey Gin how did it go?" he said kissing her on the fore head.

"Fine mum was crying and so was Fleur's mum."

"Why?"

"The first thing mum said when she saw me in my dress was 'oh Ginny you look lovely,' then she came over and hugged me."

"That's your mum all over I would be careful Ginny you might turn into her."

"Shut up Harry," she threw a pillow at him. "What did you do today?"

"Practiced apparation."

"How did it go?"

"Dudley kept running away from me so I followed him."

"Fun?"

"Yep."

"I think we should have abit of fun."

"Really?"

"When I was out earlier I was talking to Fleur and she came up with a really good idea."

"And?"

"Well you no that spell that makes your nose longer and the one that makes your hair grow thicker."

"Yeah."

"I was thinking we could use them on your aunt and uncle."

"Aren't they non verbal?"

"Yep but Bill taught me non verbal spells last year. Oh I got my OWL results."

"Well?"

"I got 2 O's 3 E's and 3 A's."

"That's brilliant Gin," he said hugging her. "What did u get the O's in?"

"Potions and DADA."

"Cool im really proud of you."

"Thanks Harry."


It was week before Harry and Ginny would go back to the burrow. Harry thought they should get the magic over and done with. They decided to do it at the breakfast. They were all sitting at the table and Ginny pulled out her wand and pointed it at petunia under the table. She thought of the spell and a light blue spark came out of her wand and hit Petunia. "Oh what was that?"

"Someone dancing on your grave Petunia?"

"Must be Sarah."

Ginny then turned her wand onto Vernon and a red spark came out and hit him. "BOY! I SAW THAT!" Vernon shouted getting up and grabbing Harry and dragging him out into the hall.

"Oh shit."

She grabbed her wand stunned Petunia and Dudley and ran out into the hall.

In the hall Vernon was chocking Harry and about to punch him.

"Stupefy!" Ginny shouted and Vernon fell to the floor.

"Harry are you ok?"

"Yeah," he said breathing hard.

"Im so sorry I should have been more discrete."

"It's ok Gin it's not your fault."

"Im so sorry," she pulled him into a hug.

"Its ok Gin," he said hugging her back.

"Let me see your neck," it was very red and staring to bruise. She ran her wand over his neck and it healed.

"Your mum teach you that."

"Yep."

"Right I think we should bring him back into the kitchen im right in thinking that you stunned Petunia and Dudley."

"Yeah."

"I think you should modify there memories."

"I don't know that spell only the incantation it's to advanced."

"Just point your wand at them concentrate on the word and it should work."

"Ok but I think we should get your uncle inside first."

"Ok," Harry grabbed his uncle's arms and started to pull him into the kitchen. Once he had gotton him in his seat they both sat down Ginny wiped there memories and woke them up. Breakfast just went about as usual both Harry and Ginny noticed that the more petunia talked about the people nest door her nose a millimetre longer.


It was a day before Harry and Ginny were due to return back to the burrow. Harry was really looking forward to seeing Ron and Hermione again. It occurred to him did they no that he and Ginny were back together he then realised that it was his 17th birthday tomorrow not only that he was coming of age.

Ginny had been working on Harry's birthday present for 2 weeks and it was ready. She couldn't wait to see his face when she gave it to him. Ginny walked into Harry's room. "Hey Harry."

"Hey Gin."

"I just got a letter from mum. The floo network is going to be open from half 3 to half 4 so we will go between then."

"Ok about 4 then."

"Ok."

"Gin when do we start these lessons?"

"As soon as we get back I suppose."

"Right." She looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong im fine."

"Yeah right talk to me."

"I come of age tomorrow."

"I know are u not looking forward to it?"

"Yes and no."

"Why?"

"I always thought I would celebrate my coming of age with my family.2

"But you are the weaslys are your family."

"Not by blood."

"It doesn't matter we all care about you."

"I know Gin but I would like my parents Sirius and Dumbledore there but hey wont."

"Just because they are not there physically doesn't mean they won't be there. They love you Harry all of us do especially me."

"What?" he looked up at her.

"I love you Harry."

"Gin."

"No it's ok if you don't feel the same way that's fine." She got up and started to leave.

"No gin." He got up and put his hands on her shoulders and turned her around.

"I love you too."

"Really."

"Really."

She leaned in and kissed him. When they broke apart he looked at her and opened his mouth to talk but Ginny cut him off. "Harry I know what you are going to say but im in just as much danger with out you."

"I no but Gin."

"We already talked about this you said I can handle Voldemort to. Plus if you have to carry the weight of the wizerding world on your shoulders I can carry you and help you get though it."

He smiled at her "I love you Gin."

"I love you to Harry."


Later on that day Ginny had just finished wrapping Harry's birthday present she couldn't wait to give it to him.

Harry was in his bed it was 11:45 "15 minutes and I will be 17," he thought to himself. There was a knock at the door he got up and opened it "gin I thought you would be asleep."

"Not tired."

"Oh well come in."

She walked in and they both sat down on his bed and started talking about anything and everything. The Dursleys grandfather clock chimed midnight. "Happy birthday Harry," she kissed him and handed him her present and a card. He opened the card on the front there was a picture of the Gryffindor quidditch team. He opened the card

To Harry

Happy 17th birthday

You only come of age once in a lifetime.

Lots of love

Ginny

"Thanks Gin," he said kissing her. "You haven't even opened the present yet."

He opened the present. It was a photograph of him as a baby in his mums arms his dad had his arm around her shoulders. Also in the picture was Dumbledore and Sirius they where all smiling and waving at him. He smiled nothing could top this picture in a million years he looked up at Ginny.

"Looks like they will be here for your 17th after all."

Before she could say anything else Harry pulled her into a hug. "You're the best Gin."

"I know no need to tell me."

Before they knew it they both fell asleep in each others arms.


They spent most of that afternoon packing. Ginny had told the Dursleys that she was making her own way home at 4 o'clock. At 3:45 Ginny brought her suit case into the living room followed by Harry with his trunk.

"Well thanks for having me. Harry is coming with me by the way."

"What?" Vernon barked.

"You ready Harry."

"Ready as I will ever be Gin."

"Oh by the way im afraid I haven't been completely honest with you."

"What do you mean?" said Petunia.

Ginny took the hair band out of her hair and it turned red. "Hi my name is Ginny Weasly and I am Harry's girlfriend from school and by school I mean Hogwarts. She pulled out her wand and pointed it at the fire and blew it apart.

"Have you got the floo power Gin?"

"Yep right here," she pulled out a small velvet bag. "Petunia in case you haven't noticed your nose is getting longer and the reason it is getting longer is because you're so nosey. Vernon you will have a lovely handle bar moustache by the end of next week and it won't go away. Thanks again for letting me stay." She turned to harry smiling at him.

"You go first Gin."

"Ok see you on the other side." She said kissing him she stepped into the fire place "the burrow!" and was gone.

Harry turned to the Durlseys, "just so you know I am never coming back here again you may be my only living family but you don't know anything about me I hope I never see you again." He walked over to the fire place and shouted "the burrow," and he left the Dursleys for the last time.
