A/N: Still not JK Rowling

Chapter Vier

"So Ginny. How was your first day in Egypt?"

"Interesting. Me and Harry are dating again."

There was silence, and then Ron jumped up and yelled. "I win! Whoo Hoo!" He jumped on the table and held out his hands. "Come on now. You know the bet, a galleon a piece."

"You were betting on us!" Harry and Ginny roared at the same time.

"Well, yea." George stated as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "We always bet on Harry. You know, on who he's going to be in Witch Weekly with next. But with you down there Gin, it was inevitable. It was just a matter of time."

"And I won." Yelled Ron again.

"Yes darling, you won." Hermione said, patting him on the back. She turned to Ginny. "He gets so worked up over the simplest things." She muttered, rolling her eyes.

"I can't believe you were betting on us." She looked at Harry who was currently receiving a high five from Ron. "Ronald will you stop it!" she shouted.

"Yes mum."

"Ronald!" She leapt off of her chair and lunged at him.

"Ginny no, no." He squealed as she chased him around the yard in circles. It quickly became a game and Ginny had Ron up a tree when Charlie finally arrived. The whole family was now laughing and making fun of Ron.

"That's the Weasley temper that is." Charlie commented.

"Lunch is ready!"

"Tonight." She called after him. "We have a date tonight at 7:30." She turned around and walked toward the Ward.

"Don't worry. I'll be there." Harry yelled at her back.

"Oh, Potters got a date." Denny yelled to him. "When's the last time that happened?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Den, you know I don't kiss and tell." He said watching Ginny walk away.

"So," Denny inquired talking with a mouth full of banana. "Who's the chick?"

"Ginny, Ginny Weasley."

Denny choked on his banana. "You're hitting it off with the boss' sister. Oh bad move Potter. Bad move."

"No, somehow I don't think so." Harry replied hitting Denny on the chest.

The whole day was a blur to Harry. Three veterinary visits, two transports, and one angry Glenda were all jammed into one long day. He was standing in sector four at 7:30 just as instructed. He held a flower burnt around the edges of the petals, no thanks to Glenda. He saw Ginny approaching. He embraced her and placed a kiss on her lips.

"This is nice." Ginny murmured.

"Mmm" was Harry's only response.

For almost a whole week they had both been far to busy with work to go on a proper date. Meeting every morning was not enough. This day had been set in stone. They were going out.

Both their pagers started beeping. They glanced simultaneously at their screens. Emergency, Sector 6. They looked up and sighed before apperating together to sector six.

When they arrived a man was being transported to the Ward. Ginny hurried after. "What have we got?" She asked going into Medi-mode.

"Wide gash to the abdomen and a report on the damn dragon."

"Give it here." She ordered holding out her hand. She skimmed the report. "Shit." She muttered.

Harry quickly found Charlie. "Oh good. Thank Merlin you're here Harry."

"What's going on?" He asked, looking around at the mass confusion.

"We've just got a new dragon. Its from my old colony in Romania."

"Thing must be a devil to work with."

"Yea, that's why we called you."

"Me, why me?"

"This thing is part snake Harry. I know you don't like people to know that your parsel tongue, but you've got to try and communicate with it."

"Okay, where is it?"

"Joe will take you."

"I will." Joe shrieked.

"Yes. Now go!"

The dragon was fierce. It had the body of a dragon and the head of a snake. Harry stood before it as the stunning spells wore off. He held his wand high, as did ten other witches and wizards.

"Easy girl."

It looked at him in shock.

"Easy girl." He repeated.

"Where am I?" It asked.

"Egyptian Dragon Colony."

"I want my mate."

Harry turned around and motioned for Joe to come closer. He moved toward Harry in awe. "Tell Charlie to get in contact with Romania and find out which male has been with this dragon and get him here fast." Joe nodded and took off running.

More hissing noises. "We're going to find him, and get him here. Okay?"

"It's not a him."

His eyes opened wide. Oh shit. Thought Harry. "Joe!" He screamed. Joe turned around and almost peed his pants at the thought of being close to the dragon snake again.

"Yea boss?" he said uneasily.

"Scratch that last. We've got ourselves a lesbian dragon here. I'm pretty sure that's why Romania shipped her ass over to us. Get on the situation." Joe stood motionless. "Now!" This time Joe apperated, determined not to get called back again.

"Where is my mate?" She roared again, rearing backwards.

"We're going to find her. Just calm down. We didn't take you away; we're just trying to help."

Charlie apperated beside him. "We've got a lock on the other dragon and were getting her here as fast as possible. Keep her calm while we stun her. The other should be here when she wakes up."

"We're bringing your friend here." He shouted as she was stunned.

A round of cheers sounded and Harry was caught in the middle of a hoard of people. Charlie shook his hand vigorously. "Well done mate."

Harry just yawned. He had just worked a 14 ½ hour day. Plus this situation made it 15. Now he would have to wait for the other dragon transfer to get here. He needed coffee, lots of coffee.

Harry sat in the surveillance tower and threw back the rest of his coffee. Charlie had left after the dragon was no longer a threat. Harry, on the other hand, had supervised the transfer. He then stayed and waited until the dragons woke up to see if they had brought in the right dragon. When at last he was satisfied he had put in 18 hours of work. He stood wearily and apperated to the entrance of the Ward. He heaved the door open and walked in. The usual hustle and bustle was gone at 11 o clock at night. He walked past the waiting room and saw Ginny's long red hair. She was talking the wife and eldest son of Bernie Jencks, the injured man. Harry knew the Jencks and was a good friend of their family, who had fed him on several occasion. When Ginny appeared to be finished Harry walked over to the group.

"How's he doing?" he asked although he already knew. Bernie was in critical condition but was expected to be dubbed stable in the near future.

"He'll be fine." Ginny said with a weak smile. From the reports he knew Ginny had done everything she could. She patted him on the arm and smiled at Mrs. Jencks before walking away.

"Donna, I'm so sorry." Harry said hugging her. "How are you doing Justin?" he asked directing his attention toward the boy.

"Fine." He said distantly.

"I wish I could have gotten here sooner, but I had to handle the dragon and a transfer. I want to assure you though, I did not forget Bernie. I was demanding hourly reports. I got down here as soon as I could."

"Its okay Harry. I appreciate it. Bernie always thought so highly of you, now I see why. You're a good boy." She put her hand to his cheek. "Well Justin, we better go. Thank you again Harry."

"Bye Donna." He kissed her on the cheek. "See ya Justin."

He turned around and saw Ginny standing in the doorway. "Gee, I hope all of our dates go this well."

Harry sighed and walked over to her. He offered her his arm. "To the cafeteria?" She looped her arm in his and nodded.

They sat down with salads. Ginny smiled. "You knew exactly how Bernard was doing." She said. "You were the annoyance ordering reports on the hour every hour."

Harry smiled guiltily and shrugged.

"At least you care about your employees."

Harry nodded grimly. "This salad sucks."

"Well it's been sitting here all day."

He pushed the plate away. "Come on." He said grabbing her wrist. Before she knew it they had apperated to his kitchen.

"Harry Potter, what do you think you're doing?" she demanded.

"I'm getting us some decent food." He yawned. He pulled left over lasagna from the fridge. "Here." He plopped the pan on the kitchen counter. They stayed up until midnight talking and finishing the food. By the time they were both showered and ready for bed it was one a.m.

Harry was already under the covers when Ginny slipped into bed. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her on the forehead. "You know this may be the first time I've slept with a woman this many times, without actually having sex with her."

"Well thanks for that extra special glimpse into your life." She whispered. "Goodnight Harry."

"Night Gin." He responded just before falling asleep.

When Ginny woke up at 5:30 Harry was already gone. She looked at the bedside table and saw a note.

Beautiful,

Went into work for five, normal time. Need to monitor the two new dragons. I get off at 7:30 again, lets do something.

All my love,

Harry

She knew Harry would be too tired at 7:30 to do anything. All she had to do was check on Bernard Jencks and she had the day off. She would make Harry dinner.
