After the encounter with Neville and Luna, Harry and Ginny walked over to the bookstore. Still trying to loose their blushes.

"Luna is still loony as ever." Harry said and opened the door for Ginny.

"Harry, she´s not loony. She´s well…" she began while trying to find the book.

"Yes?"

"… not loony!" she finished and pulled a copie of Gardening easily made´ out of the shelf. "Here it is, lets buy it and leave. I´m hungry."

"Want to go for lunch at the three broomsticks with me?" Harry asked and payed the book.

"Really?" she asked and looked surprised. What´s wrong with him?´ she thought.

"Yeah why not. I think after this torturing morning, you deserve it." He said.

"Than what are you waiting for? Let´s go!" she said, took his hand and pulled him to the Leaky Cauldron.

"What can I get you, my dears?" the waitress of the three broomsticks asked.

"My stomach says everything, but I would say just Nr.5 and a butterbeer for me." Ginny said and grinned at Harry.

"Yeah, same for me." He said and thanked the woman, as she marched off. "So? You do want to go to the party at the twins shop! I thought you told Hermione no."

"I did, but then I thought I would miss out of something. There will be everyone from Hogwarts who new the twins and probably a lot of people we knew from that time. What about you? Will you go with someone?"

"No, probably not. But I´ll come and enjoy myself a bit, you know that there is going to be a training session the day after."

"NO! You didn´t plan that, did you?" she asked with her eyes wide. Of course he did, it´s Harry damn it.´

"Well you know me, if there is a way to be a mean coach I´ll go and grab that chance."

Ginny hit her head on the table when her lunch arrived next to her. "Thank you!"

Harry started to laugh again, but stopped when he saw the glare Ginny shot him. "Look Gin, do you want to win or do you want to loose?"

"Win of course! But why does it have to be the day after? I mean, it could be the day before the party or even the day of the party, but why the day after?" she was miserable, she wanted to party, she wanted to have fun and then came Harry and destroyed her own little world. "You´re evil!"

"What would you do?" he asked and ate his lunch. "What would you do if I was the seeker and you the coach?"

"I would do the same." She said and took a deep breath. "Can you do me a favour?"

"What kind of favour?" - No, I´m not going to let you out of training. Not even if you are my favourite.´ he thought and waited for Ginnys plea.

"Could I stay at your apartment tonight?" she wanted to know. She put her fork and knife down on the table and looked Harry in the eye. "Mum and Dad are going to have some friends over plus some of their grandchildren and I don´t want to baby-sit all of them."

"Wha…" he began his mouth open in disbelieve. Did she just ask that or did I just wish to myself that she would say something like that?´

"I asked you, if I could stay at your place tonight! Would that be alright, with you?" she asked again. Maybe not the best timing, but I had to ask or a dozen kindergarten kids would be hanging on my sleeves tonight.´ she thought.

"…ye…yeah… sure. Yes, of course you can stay at my place. But why don´t you stay at Rons and Hermiones?"

"Well, the two of them are at the movies tonight. Luna is at her parents and I don´t stay at any house of the twins because their children are even worse than them when they were younger."

Harry just sat there and looked at her without saying a word. Ginny was smiling a lot happier than before.

This has to be it for today. Hope you like it and please review again, it really makes me happy to read them.
