Chapter 11: Party At The Potters
Godric's Hollow, Around 7pm…
"…Happy birthday to Harry, happy birthday to you!" All the guests sang as Lily levitated the cake in. Harry was slightly embarrassed, he never had this sort of fuss on his birthday before. He had received a set of duelling robes from Remus, a signed copy of Quidditch Through The Ages from Ron, lots of DVDs from Hermione (since they had a room with a DVD player now), lots of different stock from the twins shop, Neville had got him a huge book containing lots of DADA spells and Molly and Arthur had got him an unbreakable gold watch.
He had yet to open Ginny's present, but he had waited until after she had opened all of her presents on her birthday just 8 days before. He had got her a gold Claddagh ring, to symbolise their friendship. He had two stones put into the hands, one ruby and a sapphire ("Ruby for your birthstone and Gryffindor. Sapphire for your eyes and your favourite colour." He had told her). She now wore it with the crown facing outwards on her right hand, meaning she had a special commitment to someone. And now, after the cake had been finished, they were going somewhere more private, Ginny's suggestion.
About 15 minutes later, Harry and Ginny made their way out to the gardens out the back. It was beautiful and scenic and had the privacy they wanted.
"So, why did you want to come somewhere private then? Going to kidnap me?" Harry joked.
"Harry, I wanted to give you this in private because, well I was going to ask you out here but it looks like we got that out of the way last night." Harry smiled at her, that grin that made her heart melt over and over again. "I was going to give you the present, then ask you. So I'll give you the present and ask you something after anyway." She produced a small box from her pocket and gave it to him. He opened it and grinned. It was a Claddagh ring, gold like the one he had got her. It also had two stones in. A ruby and an emerald.
"Wow Ginny. This is amazing, how we got the same present for each other."
"Yeah I know. I had the ruby for you're… our birthstone and for Gryffindor and the emerald is for your eyes. It's not far off, the colour you know."
"Thank you Ginny. This is such a nice present." He put it on his middle finger on his left hand, the crown facing outwards, symbolising that he was committed to someone who he loved very dearly. As Harry put his on, Ginny changed hers from her right hand to the left, to show she felt the same as him. Then he kissed her. Not just a peck on the cheek, it was a full on snog (A/N: Woooooooooh! Once they get started, there is no stopping them is there?). It seemed like it lasted forever until they heard Ron shout "Harry! Ginny! Where the hell are you both?" from the direction of the mansion. They parted, still looking into each others eyes.
"We should go back. Their missing us already." Ginny whispered.
"Yeah." Harry said. 'Ron you git! We were just getting started there!' He thought to his friend, imagining his face when he realised what he had interrupted. He grinned as he and Ginny walked, hands locked, towards the mansion.
A Few Hours Later, Around 10pm…
After Ron had told his brother's about what Harry had thought to him (they had explained about being the Kinetic Charmed Ones when the Weasleys had got there), they sat Harry down in a private room and gave the usual big brother talk, which went something along the lines of this.
George got a lamp and shone it in Harry's face like in a cheesy detective movie.
"So Harry, what are…" George started.
"Your intentions…" Fred continued.
"Towards…"
"Our sister?" They finished together.
"Do you think you could pull the light up first? I can't see a thing except a bright light."
"No Harry! Don't go into the light!" Fred shouted and the twins burst into laughter. Charlie and Bill looked at each other and knocked the twin's heads together while Ron removed the lamp.
"OW!" They said in union.
"You deserved it you dingbats." Bill told them with a smirk.
"So Harry, are you going to answer the question?" Charlie asked.
"What are you intentions towards Ginny?" Ron asked with a grin.
"Well, I love her. I realised that over the years and I would never do anything to hurt her." Harry told them, only a tiny little bit scared. 5 older brothers were very intimidating.
"Well you do know that if you ever hurt her…" Bill started.
"…Then we will hunt you down and kill you." Charlie finished.
Harry gulped silently. "I have no intention of ever hurting your sister. I would rather die than hurt her."
"So, what if you had a choice of giving Ginny over to You-Know-Who or dying. You'd rather die?" Charlie asked.
"Yes. Truly and honestly." He replied, feeling sick of Ginny in Voldemort's hands. Again.
"Will you always protect her with your life? Swear on your life that you would keep her safe?" Bill asked him.
"I swear on my life and magic I would protect her and keep her safe from everything." Harry said as confidently as he could. His confidence was falling slightly though.
The Weasley brothers looked at each other. "I think he passed the test." Ron declared. "Welcome to the family, mate." The five Weasleys shook Harry's hand.
"I'm not marrying her, we're just dating." Harry protested.
The Weasleys looked at each other. "Right…" They said in union and in a patronising way.
"Harry, we all know…" Ron said.
"That you and Ginny…" Charlie continued.
"Have always been…" Bill said.
"And will always be…" Fred continued.
"Soul mates." George concluded.
Harry looked at them strangely. "You had that too well rehearsed. It's like Fred and George but five of them."
"Are you saying…" Fred said.
"You don't like…" George continued.
"The way we speak?" They concluded together.
"Hmm, let me see… yeah." Harry said.
"Ok, maybe we should return Harry to Ginny before George and Fred do anything." Ron said quickly, not wanted Harry to die by Fred and George.
'Thanks mate.' Harry thought to his oldest friend. He grinned and nodded slightly.
They returned into the party, Ginny asking straight away what had happened. Bill explained with a grin and when she saw Harry grinning she started smiling as well.
"What did you do to him?" Ginny asked her brothers.
"Ginny, he's still here in one piece. You're just lucky that we're great friends with him already, other wise he would have been toast." Ron grinned. Ginny just glared at him. "Ginny, we didn't do anything honestly. And why are you focusing just on me?"
"Cos I want to." Ginny grinned at them all. "So has he passed what ever you were doing in there?"
"Yes Ginny. And no we aren't telling you what it was." Charlie said.
"Well, can I have my boyfriend back now?" She asked. The five Weasley brothers nodded and she grabbed Harry's hand and took him to the other side of the room.
"So what did they really do Harry?" She asked.
"Nothing. It doesn't matter. Like Ron said, I'm still here in one piece." He kissed her on the cheek.
She blushed. "I love it when you do that."
Harry grinned and kissed her again, but this time on the lips.
Aww, fluffy much? Well, you like or you don't like, you know you want to press that little blue-purple button in the left corner that says 'Submit Review'. Go on, make my day! Please?
