Harry woke up to bright rays of sunlight coming in through his window. He was feeling much better today, and he sighed contentedly as he switched his position. He felt slightly disappointed when he felt a warm spot to his right. Ginny had left.

He sat up a little too quickly, and fell onto the floor with a loud thump as he became overwhelmed by dizziness. He shook his head and pushed himself back up, slowly this time. He headed downstairs to the kitchen, but no one was there.

The living room was empty too. He sighed again and went back up the stairs to check the other rooms. There wasn't anyone around.

Where did they go? He thought, becoming a little worried.

Suddenly, he heard a scream outside. He grabbed his wand and rushed back down. Damn...this better not be anymore Death Eaters...

He stopped when he opened the front door. His eyes widened when he saw a huge pool sitting on the lawn. Fred, George, Bill, and Charlie had come over and were pulling Ginny, Ron, and Hermione underwater.

So that's why there was a scream.

"Uh...hey..." Harry said. Everyone stopped and turned to Harry.

"Harry! You finally woke up!" Ginny cried happily. "Wanna swim?" Bill asked him. Harry grinned. "Sure, just let me go--" George climbed out and got his wand. "No need Harry. I can do it." And with a flick of his wand, he transformed Harry's pajamas into swim trunks.

There was a long silence as his friends stared at him. "What?" he asked. "Harry...you look...wow." Harry quickly looked down, wondering what was wrong with him.

He had a bit of a tan, and had real muscle now. He looked back at the group in the pool. "What?" he asked again.

Fred grinned at him. "Looking good Potter. When'd that happen?"

Harry blushed slightly. "I dunno." "Well, he has had quite a workout, fighting evil half his life. And since he left the Dursleys he's had real food too..." Ginny spoke up. "Anyway...what are you waiting for? Get in here!" Charlie shouted. Harry grinned again and climbed up into the pool.

He was having a great time when George got out of the pool once more. When he jumped back in, he was carrying bottles of Firewhiskey. "Here ya go..." he said as he tossed them around to everyone. "We can't have a pool party without a bit of alcohol!"

Pretty soon, they had all had three bottles. Harry was sitting on the side of the pool and felt extremely giddy and disoriented. He finished the last of his fourth Firewhiskey and threw the empty bottle at Ron, hitting him on the head. "Ow!" Ron cried. Harry burst into a fit of laughter and ended up sliding into the water with a big splash.

He came back up, still laughing. Ginny swam over to him and poked him. "You look funny!" she giggled. "I do?" Harry stopped laughing and looked down at himself. "It's probably these funny blue things..." he reached down and pulled off his swimsuit, then looked back at Ginny.

"Is this better?"

Ginny was laughing so hard now she barely made any noise. The others came over, all of them laughing too.

"You look great Harry...:" Hermione told him. Fred and George looked at their own swimsuits. "Why are we wearing these, anyway?" They shrugged at each other before taking them off too.

Bill and Charlie gasped for air when they finally stopped laughing. "I don't think you guys need anymore Firewhiskey..."

Harry frowned. "Why not? I can handle it!" He reached over the side of the pool and grabbed another bottle and drank half of it in one gulp. He turned to Ginny and grinned. "Hello...you look very pretty in that bikini, Ginny."

Ginny laughed. "Thanks. You don't look bad yourself."

Just then, Mrs.Weasley came outside. "Come on in, lunch is ready!" Harry, Fred and George were the first to get out, soon followed by the others. Mrs.Weasley screamed and covered her eyes. "Why aren't you wearing anything!" she cried.

"The swimsuits got in the way; this is much more comfortable." Harry explained. "I don't care! And in front of the girls..." Mrs.Weasley said, still covering her eyes.

"Don't worry, mum. I don't think they minded much!" Bill laughed. Mrs.Weasley finally put her hands down and turned to Hermione and Ginny, trying not to look at the boys. She opened her mouth to speak, but stopped as she noticed Ginny had a distant look in her eyes and an evil grin on her face.

Mrs.Weasley followed Ginny's gaze and gasped when her eyes landed on Harry. "Ginevra Weasley!" Ginny came out of her trance and blushed furiously. "Sorry..." she mumbled.

Harry strode over to Ginny, swaying slightly, still drunk. "I like you Ginny. Will you marry me?"
