The next few days passed far to quickly for Ginny, they only had one day left before, Harry, Hermione, Ron and herself all went back to school. But apparently her parents had prepared a surprise for them. She couldn't wait. Dad had sounded really excited. She threw the covers off of her bed and jumped out being careful not to wake Hermione, who was sharing her room, and ran down stairs.
Her mother was in the Kitchen, but she was the only one there. It was rather early after all.
"Hello dear, your up early," her mother greeted her.
"Hi Mum!" she said in reply, "I want to know what this surprise is, so, are you going to tell me?"
"Look out side" her mum told her. She ran to the window and threw open the curtains. Her dad was standing in the garden, wand pointed at the ground. What was he doing? Then she saw. He had made a large swimming pool.
"So what do you think?" her mum asked coming up behind her
"Cool," she breathed, it was all she could get out
"So, go and wake your brothers, I don't want them wasting the day. Off you go now. And tell them to put on their swimming cosies" Mrs Weasley told her daughter as she shooed her out of the room.
Ginny ran up the stairs to Bill and Charlie's room, opened the door quietly,
"Guys?" She asked the quiet room "Uh, guys time to get up" Bill turned over but there was no other response from the boys. That's when Ginny got an idea. she walked over to Charlie's bed and jumped on him, he woke up with a start, then when he realised what had happened he hit Ginny with his pillow.
"You gave me a fright, don't do that!" he yelled before hitting her playfully with the pillow again. She responded by grabbing Bill's and hit Charlie back.
Bill woke up as his head hit the bed, and he stared at the roof for a second wondering where his pillow had gone, then the sound he was hearing sunk in, and he looked over to find his brother and his little sister in the midst of a frantic pillow fight.
"Will you two shut up!" he demanded grouchily. He was not a morning person
"No!" they both replied at once and each threw their pillow at him.
"Mum told me to get you two up, put on your swimming things and come down stairs," she chirped before running out of the room.
She got Percy up by tickling him, he was a very tickly person. Then it was Fred and George's turn. Both of them were fairly light sleepers so all she had to do was talk loudly and they were both awake.
When she went into her own room to get Hermione she found the girl was already awake,
"Hey," Hermione greeted her sleepily
"Hi!" Ginny replied, "You wanna help me get Ron up?"
"Um, ok," Hermione replied, not really sure why she had to wake up her boy-friend.
When Ginny pushed open the door to Ron's room, she stopped dead at the door. Harry was sleeping in a camp bed on the floor. She found herself staring at him, he looked so peaceful, with his hair more tousled than usual, and the michevious smile tugging at his lips he looked… lovely.
Whoa! No, bad Ginny! Your over Harry remember? Don't think like that.
"You won't wake him up by staring, Gin," Hermione whispered to her and her face turned a bright shade of scarlet, Hermione smiled at her. "I won't tell, I promise, why don't you go get changed I'll get them up, and swimming costumes right?"
Ginny gave Hermione a 'thank you so much' smile, nodded her head in response to Hermione's question then retreated quickly out of the room.
Harry made his way down the stairs in his swimming trunks, why was he supposed to be wearing them? Well for swimming he guessed, but swimming where?
"Oh there you two are, Every one is already out side, now come here till I put some sun-block on you, we don't want you getting burned now do we?"
Mrs Weasley pointed at the two boys and murmured some words that Harry didn't hear. There was a loud 'pop' and then Mrs Weasley shooed them out of the door.
Harry was surprised to see a large swimming pool in the middle of the Weasley's garden.
"Come on harry!" Ron said as he pushed him towards the pool, then pushed him in.
Harry resurfaced in front of Ginny who was sitting with her feet dangling in the water, and she was laughing at him. Then without thinking he grabbed her ankles and pulled her into the water.
She popped her head back up and glared at him. "What did you do that for"
"You were laughing at me," he said, straining to keep his face straight. She looked so hot when she was mad.
Arge! Why did brain think such thought! No! Ginny was not hot, she was… Ginny, the silly little girl who had a stupid crush on him, Ron's little sister. Sure she was kind of pretty, but she wasn't hot. No, just keep thinking that.
Then she laughed and splashed him.
Harry stopped swimming and turned around to wait on Ron he had won another race, that made 5 now but Ron refused to admit that Harry was the Fastest Swimmer. That was when Harry noticed Ginny. She was climbing out of the pool and he couldn't help staring at her. The swimming costume she was wearing looked perfect on her, it was a deep red colour, and it showed of her body perfectly, all the right curves in all the right places.
"Ok, one more time Harry. I'll win this time," Ron said interrupting his thoughts. Harry was glad that Ron hadn't noticed him staring at Ginny, Ron would probably kill him if he had any idea what had just been running through his head.
"Ok one more, but I'll beat you again."
They had spent at least three hours playing in the pool, Harry and Ron were having a competition to see who could hold their breath the longest. Fred and George were having a water fight , which was silly considering they had just spent the day in a swimming pool. Bill and Charlie were having a game of exploding snap at the side of the pool and Hermione and Ginny were sunbathing on the grass.
"This is nice, isn't it?" Hermione asked, "It's a shame they don't have a swimming pool at Hogwarts."
"Maybe we should suggest it to Dumbledore," Ginny suggested, "You think he would…"
But Hermione cut her off. "Harry's looking at you again."
Ginny looked up and caught Harry's eye for a split second before he looked back down at the stop-watch he was using to time Ron. Something funny was going on, that was the 7th time she had caught him staring at her, and according to Hermione he had been doing it more times than 7. Ok time to find out what was going on.
"Harry?" she asked, he looked up at her "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah sure Ginny" he replied unsure, climbing out of the pool and leaving Ron. Why would she want to talk to him? Had he done something wrong? Well she didn't look mad, but she didn't look overly happy either. Maybe she was plotting something for one of her brothers and wanted his help, yeah that was it. Had to be.
She grabbed his hand and pulled him round the corner of the house. The second her skin touched his it sent a shiver of electricity up his arm and made his heart skip a beat, had she noticed it? She didn't appear to.
"Ok Harry, why have you been staring at me? It's getting kind of unnerving"
Harry tried to think of a good answer, truth? No way. He was not about to tell her that he liked her. But his mouth had other ideas, and he blurted out the answer before he could stop himself. "Cause you look hot"
Her face fell as she stared at him in disbelief, he didn't blame her he didn't really believe that he had said it either.
"I can't believe you! You only notice me because you think I'm hot? I thought you were different from other guys, guess I was wrong! I can't believe I spent the past 5 years of my life drooling over you. Rrrge!" then she turned on her heal and stormed off, back to her Family.
"Good going Potter" he mumbled savagely to himself, if she hadn't been over her crush before, she was now. How stupid could he get.
