Scene: At the park
~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~
"Harry, Ginny, wake up"
Harry felt someone shaking him; he rubbed his eyes and was suddenly aware that it's already getting dark. There was a blur figure in front of him, Harry rubbed his eyes again and saw a sweaty-looking Mark smiling at him.
"What's up, Mark", Harry asked irritably.
"Hey for you info, it's already five in the evening. Are you planning to camp here over the night? If you are, I'm so sorry to disturb you, but if you are not, you two better hurry home", Mark snapped back.
"Oh I'm so sorry, Mark. Thanks for waking me mate!" Harry said apolitically.
"Okay, no problem, pal. I better be going or my mum will be calling the police saying that her baby had been eaten alive by a trash bin, later!" Mark waved Harry goodbye and hurried down the street towards Magnolia Drive.
Harry looked to his right and saw Ginny rubbing her already quite swollen eyes,
"Good morning, Harry," Ginny, said thickly.
"Yeah, morning, sleeping beauty", Harry answered sarcastically while smiling like a fool,
"We better get going if you don't want to miss dinner," Harry stood up and dust away dirt from his jeans.
"I didn't realised that its already that late, what's got over me to sleep that long." She rubbed her eyes lazily, and patted her stomach, "And dear me, my stomach is doing a demonstration", Ginny stood up and pushed Harry at his back to urge him to walk faster while he was trying his best to slower his pace.
Since, Harry was stronger than Ginny although she was the strongest girl in her year, she didn't mange to push Harry any faster than a centimetre per minute. They were both trying very hard to irritate each other as they walked down the streets pushing each other when suddenly a figure walked out from behind a great oak tree; his or her face was shadowed by the shade of the tree.
Out of instinct, both Harry and Ginny pulled out their wand, which was never away from them, from their pocket and posed it in front of them, ready to attack at any sign of movement.
The figure gave a girly giggle and stood out of the shade, it was a young girl no older than them with dark brown curls and astonishingly baby blue eyes. Harry turned to Ginny and raised an eyebrow when the girl spoke with a voice that doesn't suit her age,
"Watch it, Harry, Ginny. It's me Tonks; lower your wand before you take someone's eye out. I've known someone who had his eye shot off", Tonks teased mimicking Moody's low growl. Harry and Ginny lowered their wands and tucked then inside their pockets when Tonks spoke again,
"Don't keep your wand in your pocket, it might ignite. Better wizards than you have lost their buttocks. Its elementary wand safety rule, nobody bothers about that anymore". Harry and Tonks eyed each other for a moment before bending over; laughing like some manic that would attract a lot of curious eyes. But Ginny don't find it funny, it's true accidents happened because wands backfired or ignited, she have heard some tales from her dad.
Harry saw her confused look and tried to explain between uncontrollable chuckles,
"As you see.* chuckles for a moment *, Tonks have kindly re enacted the scene when Moody and the lots came to fetch me from the Dursley's' last summer. Moody is forever nagging about where our wands are pointing at and where it was placed in. And I reckons he's so afraid of wand igniting because." * more chuckles but this time uncontrollable*
"Because we think he is saying himself when he mentioned about better wizards who had their buttocks blasted off. It was known that Kingsley shot off his eye a few years ago when he tried to play an April's Fool prank on the old bloke who turned a bit nasty and out of fear, Kingsley accidentally did something and there we have the notorious Mad-eyed Moody. It is possible that Kingsley did aimed more than one area, he is terrible in aiming." Tonks cut him off and now Harry, Tonks and Ginny were all clenching their stomach laughing. The thought of Moody buttock-less was indeed hilarious; maybe the Weasley Twin would take up the challenge and check that out someday.
After several minutes, Harry was the first to managed to hold down the urge to laugh. He opened his mouth to ask Tonks why is she doing there, but a breathless Ginny beat him to it.
"To watch over you two lovey dovies, of course, under the strict order of Molly Weasley and see that you behave yourselves", Tonks teased and giggled some more that got onto Harry's nerves.
"What's wrong with girls? Giggling like some chipmunks, the mere sound gives me headache", Harry thought bitterly. (A/N: No offence to girls, its just what Harry though. Besides, I'm a girl no way am I criticising us.)
"Did you get acquaintance with Fred and George too much to lose your senses?" Ginny retorted, Harry turned to look at her and was astounded to see that her ears were glowing red, a warning sign, especially for a Weasley girl. Harry tried to give Tonks a warning look but she was too pleased with herself to take note of it, instead she gave a dry cough and began pacing.
"As I am in duty for the past few day, no doubt, I've seen a lot, more than what you thought you knew".
"Shit, how can I forget that I'm still being followed", Harry thought and he could forebode something bad coming his way, he shifted uncomfortably.
"The story begins in this way, I was standing guard outside No.4 when around in the afternoon, I saw Ginny coming out of the house closely followed by Dudley. I was so surprised that I thought that the weather must have been so hot that it impaired my vision, so I rubbed my eyes and looked again. It was indeed Dudley walking beside Ginny but most interestingly, a figure came out of the house a while later and was trailing them. It was getting more interesting, he was spying outside the café when it started to rain, but that mysterious guy never left his position. That poor bloke drenched to his skin continued watching until the rain stopped and when Ginny and that elephant man came out, he continued trailing them." Tonks gave a look of triumph and stole a quick look at Harry who swallowed hard.
"I could see him shivering in his wet jumper and hear his teeth chatter, and I'll like to say, that lion in front of his jumper is cute". Harry had the sudden urge to kill Tonks straight away, wiping the smirk off her heart- shaped face but the Auror hadn't the slightest idea that her life was being threatened and she continued smirking. But Harry had the feeling of his life being threatened, he could feel a pair of eyes staring at him and he turned to the direction of the source of the threat.
Ginny Weasley who had gave Harry a red palm imprint on his face a few days ago was giving him the most dangerous look and he unconsciously wet his dry lips awaiting for the outburst.
"HARRY JAMES POTTER, YOU BRAINLESS GIT. I NEVER KNEW THAT YOU WERE THAT THICK TO FOLLOW ME AROUND. WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM PLANNING TO DO? GO ALL- COSY WITH THAT SICK COUSIN OF YOURS. DO YOU THINK I'M THAT KIND OF SCARLET WOMAN?" Ginny shouted. Harry flinched at her shouting, very ashamed of himself, but he was determined to explain his motive,
"N....No, that was never in my mind. I....I'm just worried about your safety around Dudley. It's him that I don't trust", Harry looked down at his feet. Ginny seemed to deflate instantly, all her anger gone, Harry was sick because of her, he had been protecting her in secret. Ginny felt that she had done Harry wrong, she did something that she normally wouldn't do, she apologised.
Harry was so relieved to hear that word from Ginny that means she was no longer mad at him. He gave Ginny a silly looking grin and earned one in return, Tonks giggled and shifted their attention to her.
"Tonks, it's not what you think it was. It was a misunderstanding, we can explain", Ginny tried to explain but was cut off by Tonks,
"Looks like Kingsley's here, bye!!" at this Tonks apparated, they didn't have the chance to explain. Kingsley disapparated beside them the minute Tonks aparated,
"Why the grumpy face? Cheer up!!" Kingsley said looking at Ginny and Harry's sullen face.
"Heaven knows how absurd the story would be once it was re enacted by Tonks, I bet you 10 galleons that it would be she caught us kissing under the coconut tree", Ginny said unenthusiastically to Harry as they were escorted home by Kingsley.

So how was it? This chapter is kinda dry but the next chapter would be better, I need this chapter to explain so things. Do you think that the story is going too slow? I had too many ideas, I think it would be 30 to 40 chapters by the time I finish this. Do you mind the pace or do you want it to be faster??
Anyone could guess what happened next?? Surprise me!!
