Chapter two; I Must Be Sick

-----------

Bill and Charlie were sitting in a pub, in Egypt drinking firewiskeys and just catching up on the year or so since they had last seen each other. After a pretty long sip Bill said, "So let me get this straight, you eloped with Katrina, after meeting while taming a Chinese Fireball, going out for a coffee, and out to dinner the next night?"

"Attempting to tame" Charlie said, "and basically yeah that's right." Bill took another long swig and wiped his forehead with a shaky hand. "You realize mums gonna kill you, right?" Charlie's eyes widened and said, "Oh damn! I totally forgot about mom!" he kept muttering things under his breath, that sounded a lot like "dammit" and "bloody hell I'm gonna die" Bill polished of the rest of his drink, at the same time as Charlie and they both hopped up…and Bill said "In the morning we leave, agreed?" "Agreed." Charlie said nodding, and they both walked slightly unsteadily towards the door, "wait just a mo," Charlie said turning on his heel and buying another drink, then proceeding after is brother. "Damn this is bad!" he said still muttering half coherent things.

--------------

Ginny opened her eyes slightly, startled by a low thump, 'what the….' She thought sleepily as she peered into the darkness of her room. And then she saw where the noise came from, Ron was kneeling beside Hermione's bed, and they were whispering. Hermione sat up quickly and Ron took her hand and they tiptoed out of the room. Ginny smirked, and rolled over deciding Hermione would just tell her in the morning, and fell back to sleep instantly.

------

"C'mon" Ron said softly as he led Hermione down the stairs, 'Oh my Gosh.' Hermione thought, 'This is so cool!' Ron had come up to her room, lightly shook her a wake and asked her to go on a walk with him, she agreed and now they were descending the stairs as quietly has possible avoiding the ones that squeaked by habit. They reached the back door just as the Grandfather clock in the front hall, struck midnight. Hermione giggled silently as Ron opened the door, and turned to face her, taking both her hands in his, and leading her backwards out the door and into the warm summer air. "This is pretty romantic Ron." Hermione commented hoping he wouldn't say something stupid, and ruin the moment. "I hoped you'd think so," he said smoothly as they walked through the garden and down towards a small lake down a hill from their house.

"Wow. Look at the moon, it's so beautiful." Hermione said slightly awed by how big it appeared that night. And for some reason she couldn't stop herself from thinking of Lupin, but she quickly pushed the thought away as Ron answered. "Yeah it is. Hermione…" he paused turning to her and taking a deep breath "I…I lo-" but he was interrupted by a bang,

And Mrs. Weasley's voice shouting, "RON! HERMIONE! Are you out here?" Ron let out a long breath, "mum." He muttered, "Yes Mrs. Weasley were out here!" Hermione called up to her. "Oh thank God!" she said walking hurriedly towards them, in her nightgown and slippers. "I was so worried when I found you gone…Oh sorry dears did I interrupt something?" she said frowning slightly, "Oh no, we were just taking a walk." Hermione replied,

'A walk where Ron was just about to tell me he loved me.' Hermione thought irritably 'wait that's what he was going to say right? Lets see what else could lo- be…I long…I log…or could that have been a 'u' sound? He lusts? Great now my boyfriend lusts after a long shag with a log. Just bloody great.' Hermione thought sulking a bit. 'Dammit mum! She just has to come out right when I'm about to tell Hermione about my feelings for her, what's she going to think now! Bloody hell I should have just spit it out. 'Hermione I love you.' There not that hard, Ron your such an idiot.' Ron thought mentally kicking himself.

Mrs. Weasley bustled them into the house seeing them both up to bed, all the while saying things like, "Don't know what I'd do if something were to happen to you. Actually I do, I'd skin you both alive, shave your heads and kill you with a spoon for getting yourself in the situation, then but you all back together and smother you with kisses because I was so happy you were still alive. Oh my! Imagine your funeral, if I didn't put you back together, 'Oh I'm sorry I had to murder them, it's just that they made me so worried, really I wasn't quite done with them, but then Arthur found me, really I'm quite sorry. Oh and there's cake in the back' oh imagine the looks on their faces" Hermione giggled as Mrs. Weasley tucked her into bed, and as she turned to go, Ron winked, and Hermione blew him a kiss goodnight.

--------------

Ginny walked down the stairs with her journal, barley even half awake the next morning. She yawned and plopped down in a kitchen chair lightly dropping her journal in her lap. "Morning Ginny." Hermione said half cheerful, half sullen "Hey Hermione, what's up with you?" Ginny asked, "nothing I'm just exhausted, I stayed up thinking half the night." She said sighing deeply, "Oh, are you sure it wasn't because of a certain redhead boy?" Ginny questioned, winking noticeably.

"No." Hermione said uncomfortably, "Well it was part of the reason..." she admitted "We went on a walk around midnight but your mom found us, right when Ron was gonna tell me something that I think was pretty important, and I stayed up trying to figure out what!" "Ah. Oh speaking of, here he comes now." Hermione's head whipped around, as Ron walked in the kitchen in a pair of dark blue plaid pajama bottoms, He yawned widely and said "Ginny can you show me the IWC thing? I wanna talk to Harry." Not really seeing Hermione as he grabbed a piece of toast off a plate on the table, "um sure." Ginny answered getting up slowly and glancing at Hermione, she put her finger over her lips and gestured towards Ron. Ginny nodded showing she understood and walked over to the IWCD, Ron not far behind, yawning again.

---------------

Harry's eyes flew open, and he sat up panting slightly. He slowly looked down, his legs were twisted in his blankets, and his chest was covered with sweat, but the worst part was right below the belt, 'man, why do I keep having these dreams about Ginny! Yeah I like them, and really I wouldn't mind, but what if I wake up and Ron's standing over me, ready to kill me cause he knows exactly what's running through my head!' Harry groaned and fell back on to his pillow, his head flopping to one side. Neon Red blurry numbers were directly in his line of vision, and he sighed as he made them out, 10:59am. Harry reached over to his nightstand grabbing his glasses and climbing out of bed.

And walked over to his dresser and changed his boxers and pulled on a pair of blue basketball shorts. And then heading down stairs to get some food, Aunt Petunia was in the kitchen baking a cake, "Harry, we have company coming over in half an hour, so please make yourself scarce" she said rudely, "Yeah sure, just came down to eat something" Harry muttered only half caring if she heard. Just then Dudley's girlfriend, Daisy, came into the kitchen, she let out a shriek when she saw Harry, Dudley came rushing in, wrapping his arms around her saying "what? What's wrong dear?" Daisy pointed at Harry's naked chest, covering her eyes with the other hand and hissing "him." Dudley turned to Harry "YOU! What'd you do to my girlfriend?" he growled "Nothing." Harry said turning away with his plate, "just shag the little bunny that'll calm her down" and walked back up the stairs, lightly kicking the door shut with his foot.

Harry walked over to his desk setting down his plate and turning on his IWCD with his wand. While it flickered to life, he pulled his journal to him and opened to a clean page.

Harry's Journal

Wednesday 7-18-05 11:10am

Well I had another one of "those" dreams about Ginny; gone deaf in one ear, suggested my cousin do the naughty with his slut of a girlfriend, who needs to go on diet, and buy some real clothes. Other then that I stayed up till 12 waiting for Ginny to write which she never did…

------

Harry then glanced up at the screen absolutely no one was on.

------

Great and now I discover I'm the only one at Hogwarts with no life.

Ok I'm starting to depress myself I'll write later.

-Harry

------------------

Just as Harry finished writing his name, a window popped up on his screen, harry dropped his journal in a drawer took a large bite of one of the hotdogs he brought up and read the window;

Inloveandclueless has written you a message

"Hey Harry its Ron (Weasley)" Ron wrote,

"Hey, sup?" Harry replied.
"Nice name…well I tried to tell Hermione that I love her and…well my mom interrupted us and now I'm not sure if I wanna say it or not", Ron told harry frowning slightly,
"Thanks yours 2…why wouldn't you tell her now you do love her." he said confused.
"Thanks…well I just don't want to jinx what we have; I mean it's so awesome! And she is an amazing kisser" Ron said dreamily
"2much info!" he replied laughing
"But I get what your saying, well then don't tell her yet, wait till we get to Hogwarts and ya'll have had plenty of "time" together"
Harry told Ron.
"Yeah ok Oh Ginny's here she says hi," he said

Harry gulped and erased what he was about to say with his wand

"Hey GINNY! (Can you get on Hermione's IWCD I wanna talk to you!)"
"This is Ginny, sure I was gonna do that soon anyway" Ginny told harry
"Sweet" he replied
"Ok its me again, she shoved me right off the chair, so she could talk, ow my bum hurts" Ron said annoyed
"lol Well I really want to talk to giiny I've been wanting to since yesterday I kind of need to apologize" harry said laughing
"Ginny"
"What'd you do?" Ron asked
"Nothing big, but I think she might have taken it weird" he explained
"Oh, good luck mate"
"Thanks" Harry said sighing

Onfire4u is available to talk

"Hey Harry" Ginny said
"Hey, um I wanted to apologize for what I said yesterday, it wouldn't be wrong cause your Ron's sister. You are your own person and I'm sorry." Harry said apologetically
"Wow, thanks harry your forgiven" Ginny said smiling
"Cool"

"So up for a game of quidditch when you get here? Bill and Charlie are coming today, and Fred and George will be here Friday to" Ron said
"Yeah that'd be awesome!" He said excitedly

"So what's up? Ginny asked
"Nm just daydreaming about you…lol jk" harry replied
"Aw that's so sweet! (Wink, wink) so what exactly were you dreaming about, my cute personality? My adorable face? Or my perfect curves?" she said flirtatiously
"All of the above and then some" Harry said and smiled
"Really now" asked Ginny.
"Yep!" he said happily
"lol"
"Lol" They both laughed

"Ron I am so bored, I cannot wait to come to the burrow!" Harry said
"Ditto! I could really use another male in the house to back me up!" Ron replied
"lol, soon mate, soon"
"Haha" Ron laughed.

------------

"Bill?"
"Yes Charlie?"
"Do we really have to do this now?"
"Now is better then later"
"But..."
"No."
"But…"
"NO!"
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because is not an answer, my mommy told me so."
"Only cause she couldn't think of anything else to say"
"HEY! She's your mum to."
"Besides the point."
"What is the point?"
"Um…Oh yeah we're going"
"But…"
"We've already had this conversation."
"Fine."
"On my count…."
"Ok."
"1…2…"
"3!"

Charlie and Bill both apperated appearing at the burrow moments later, and after a deep breath walking through the kitchen door. They were attacked by boobs and red hair (their mother) "oh my boys!" "Mum…mum! We love you to now please stop suffocating us." Bill said laughing, their mom released them, and stepping back slightly, and began straightening their shirts and attacking their hair. Charlie laughed nervously and said "Mum I need to tell you something… it's pretty important" Mrs. Weasley looked at him suspiciously, but nodded and said "Ok dear" They walked out the door so they could have privacy.

Bill walked over to the table and sat down, with his family and Hermione as they ate lunch. There were choruses of "Hi Bill" around the table. Ginny was munching on a sandwich and writing in her journal, "whatcha writin' shortcake?" Bill asked, using his favorite nickname for Ginny. "Oh nothing, just stuff…" she said vaguely, moving her hand. 'Hmmm' he thought with disinterest, turning and talking to the others.

The journal of Ginny Weasley

Wednesday 6-18-05 12:30pm

K well I talked to harry and he apologized! So were good, man it seems like Friday is such a long way away, I still can't believe it's only been a day, it feels like a week. I wonder if I should do something to make Harry notice me, like do something with my hair, or like dress really skanky or something, I don't think mom would like that 2 much! Ha! 'Ginny! What are you wearing? Nothing mom! That's my point! Go upstairs and change into something besides that pink scrunchie.' Lol that'd be great…

Bill and Charlie are here! It's been so long since I've seen them! Charlie went outside to talk to mum about something important, and Bill is sitting at the table with us talking. I can't wait till Friday woo! Hahahaahahahaha I feel so weird right now… Omg mums yelling must go…tell you all about it later.

Random phrase; I found a rouge Dr Thunder on the street,

And decided to take it home and Take care of it…but then

It ate my mum. I hated That Dr. Thunders dad…he made me

So mad. STUPID MT. LIGHTNING you haven't heard the

Last of SPINICH ALFREDO!

-Ginny

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU ELOPED!"
"Mum calm down, it really isn't that big of a deal!"
"CALM DOWN? I AM CALM!"
"No your not, and really mum Katrina is a great woman, and I… I love her."
"How can you stand there and tell your mother that your in love with a…a…GIRL you just met four days ago!"

"Charlie eloped?"
"Who's Katrina?"
"Four days ago?"

The Weasley's kitchen was pure chaos! Words shooting back and forth across the room like spider webs, and finally "SILENCE!" Bill shouted, instantly the talk quieted. "Now, to answer everyone's questions, yes Charlie eloped, he married Katrina four days ago, and we came here to tell mum. And after meeting Katrina myself, I will have to say she really is a nice woman and even though his decision was hasty, we cannot condemn his mistakes because really I think he made the right choice - just to quickly." Bill said in Charlie's defense. Mrs. Weasley sighed, "Even though I don't agree, I guess I'll respect your decision since its already been made…but when will I get to meet this Katrina?"

Charlie smiled, and said, "Tomorrow. I told her I would owl her and tell when to come…speaking of which I'm going to go do that now!" he then proceeded to sprint out of the room, only coming back seconds later, "Can I borrow someone's owl?" he said sheepishly, "I left Catherine– my owl – back in Egypt…" Ron laughed, and volunteered Pig, his owl, and got up and left with Charlie. "I'm going to go write to Harry." Ginny said leaving to. Soon bill and Hermione were the only ones left in the kitchen.

"So…how have you been?" Charlie asked Hermione, turning to face her at the table, "Oh, well pretty good, how about you? You haven't eloped have you?" Hermione said giggling a little. Charlie chuckled, "No, no I haven't found that special someone yet." At this Hermione thought that he was eyeing her slightly 'whoa. Did he just…? No of course he didn't…well I'll just tell him about me and Ron just incase.'

"So Bill did you hear that Ron asked me out?" Hermione said trying to hold the smile on her face, "Oh! Wow Hermione that's great!" "Yeah…"

'Was that a hesitant 'yeah'? Could Hermione be regretting going out with Ron? Wait? Why should I care!' They both laughed awkwardly, then Hermione stood up suddenly, "I…I'm going to go find Ron." And she walked towards the door, trying desperately not to run away from Bill's soft gaze.

'Why do I feel like this? This is wrong; I'm going out with Ron now. But how can someone's blue eyes drown me like that? I must be sick…or…or something.' Hermione thought to herself, as she climbed the stairs to the room she was sharing with Ginny. She shut the door softly behind her, and sat down on the edge of her bed, thoughts racing through her mind.

----------------

'Wow that was weird… why was I staring at Hermione like that? And why did my heart drop down to my stomach when she said she was with Ron now? And her eyes how can anyone's eyes be that gentle, yet so intense at the same time…I must be sick.' Charlie determined "I'll just go get some fresh air," he said out loud, walking out into the garden and proceeding down to the lake. He sat down beside it and tried to think of Quidditch.

----------------

A/N well there's chapter 2, I hope I didn't rush all of that. Oh and there was the introduction to the twist I've mentioned twice. Um review cause really I am new at this and need to know about any spelling mistakes or something…or you can just tell me how much you love me and my story! Lol
