A/N: Okay, now, in this chapter it's a month later, Ginny is back from Hogwarts for the summer, and things heat up for her and Harry. No naughtiness yet, well, not totally…lol.

Chapter 4

Brotherly Fury

Harry stood staring into the fire at the Burrow. He was thinking about, who else? Ginny. Constantly. He dreamed about her when he slept, he wanted her when she wasn't with him, and she drove him insane with lust when she was near him. Harry jumped as two delicate hands came around his waist and tightened their grip on him. He smiled as Ginny rested her head on his back.

"Hey, you." He said, turning and pulling her closer to him. She leaned her head back and looked into his emerald eyes.

"Harry? Why are you down here all alone, at three in the morning?" She asked him softly while she traced the letters on his shirt with her fingernail.

"I couldn't sleep." He said quietly. She studied him for a moment before leaning away from him and pulling him by the hand towards the stairs. "Gin?" He asked, confused. She smiled at him, but didn't let go of his hand until they were in her room and she was shutting the door and locking it.

"Where'd Hermione go?" He asked in a whisper.

"Well, she noticed I was getting up, asked where I was going. I said you were downstairs,"

"How'd you know?" Harry interrupted.

"I just did. Anyway, she said would I mind bringing you to my room tonight so she could, uh, surprise Ron…yeah I know…ew…anyway, and I agreed to it whole-heartedly." Ginny said, walking slowly towards him as she said all this. She stood on tiptoe and placed a tender kiss on Harry's lips. He wrapped her in his arms and lifted her off the ground, spinning her around before putting her back down.

"What do you want to do?" Harry asked her. She shrugged.

"Cuddle?" She suggested. Harry snorted and she looked hurt.

"No, no, love, it's just the term, it makes me laugh." Harry explained quickly.

"Well, you know what makes me laugh?" She said, sliding her hands slowly down his back. Without warning, she used both hands and grabbed Harry's rear pretty hard, and just as she'd expected, he yelped and blushed. She had to use him to keep her standing up, she was laughing so hard.

"Ooh, you'll pay for that, Ginevra." Harry said, moving his head down to hers.

"Will I?" She asked. Harry kissed her down her jaw line, sucked on her neck a bit, and then moved up to her ear. "Harry! No!" She said, laughing as she tried to push him away. He was blowing soft, warm air into her ear. She raised her shoulder to block her ear and Harry went for the other one instead. She seized his head in her hands and kissed him heatedly. Harry wore a big grin when they pulled away.

"Harry, you know how I get when you do that!" She scolded, but she was smiling sheepishly.

"I know I do." He said, leaning down and kissing her again. They had just stumbled and fell onto the bed when Hermione appeared with a pop. Ginny squealed and Harry promptly fell back off the bed.

"Harry! Get back to your room quickly! Molly is on her way to check in there, and then in here. Hurry!" She said, picking him up off the floor and shoving him to the middle of the room. He cast a sad look at Ginny who was sitting up on the bed, gazing after him.

She lifted her hand in a half-hearted wave, and then he spun quickly and was back up in his room. He threw back the covers to his bed, took off his glasses and leapt in just as the door opened and Molly poked her head in.

"Close one, huh, mate?" Ron said from his bed after Mrs. Weasley had left.

"I'll say." Harry said. He was extremely put out. He had thought he and Ginny were finally going to share that special night, but yet again, they hadn't been able to.

"Potter?" Ron said sharply. "Were you shagging my sister?"

"Now Ron, do you really want to know that?" Harry teased. All he got as a reply was a grumble and the sound of Ron turning his back to him. Harry shook his head, rolled over and eventually fell asleep. He had a dream that started almost right when he'd gone unconscious, like a movie waiting to play.

In the dream, he was sitting at a rather large kitchen table. A red-haired woman with dark brown eyes was looking across it at him fondly. He looked to his right and there sat a red-haired, green-eyed little girl, about the age of four, to his left, two identical boys, both with black untidy hair and brown eyes, around the age of six.

"Mummy, I want the syrup." One boy stated.

"Ask properly, James." The older Ginny said.

"Mummy, will you kindly pass me the syrup please?" He corrected.

"Certainly." She said. "Jasper, chew with your mouth closed." She directed at James' twin. He snapped his mouth shut. Harry looked at Ginny and she laughed.

"Mummy! He's doing it again!" The little girl cried. Jasper sat with his mouth wide open showing the girl all the partly chewed food in it.

"Jasper, stop tormenting Lilly, and I believe your mother told you to chew with your mouth shut." Harry told his, apparent, son. He was surprised to hear the deepness and firmness in his voice.

"Sorry, daddy." Jasper said, looking down at his plate. Harry smiled and looked around at the table. Ginny stood to collect the kid's plates to reveal a very pregnant stomach. Ginny looked at him.

"Harry? Harry?"

"Harry! Love, wake up!" Ginny shook him awake. Harry sat up straight immediately and looked around rather wildly. "Harry?" Ginny asked uncertainly. Harry's eyes flew to her stomach and then back at her. The dream had seemed so real.

"I'm fine." He said, trying to clear his mind of the breakfast table dream. It had been so short, but it had seemed so long. Ginny sat down beside him and lifted his head with her hands.

"Love, what did you dream about?" She asked him quietly. He turned his startling green eyes to her chocolaty ones.

"What?"

"You were mumbling in your sleep, something about Jasper, Lilly, and me. Harry, who's Jasper?" She inquired.

"It was just a dream." He said. She waited expectantly, so he told her all about the dream. He'd expected this to depress her. Quite the contrary. She leapt up and pulled him with her, doing a weird kind of jig that involved much jumping.

"Ginny, what—?"

"Oh Harry, you may have been looking into our future!" She exclaimed excitedly. Harry stared at her.

"Our future? How could I see our future?" He asked, more to himself.

"I don't know, Harry. But it's marvelous. James, Lilly and Jasper. What lovely names for children." She said thoughtfully. While she let her mind wander, Harry looked into her face, her glowing, happy face. She hadn't seemed this happy in a long time. Sure she'd been happy, but that was a wild crazy hyper happy. This was a more calm, peaceful feeling for her. Harry sighed.

"I love you." He said. She turned to him in surprise.

"I love you too." She said softly. "What's wrong?" She asked, coming closer to him and slipping her arms around his waist.

"Nothing, just thinking…" He said, putting his arms over hers around her waist.

"About?"

"You." He said, kissing her cheek. "Us." He kissed the other. "Our future." He said, enveloping her in a deeply passionate kiss.

Just then they heard two loud CRACKs and both turned quickly. Fred and George Weasley stood gaping at them. For once in their life, the twins were speechless.

"Were you just snogging our sister, Potter?" George demanded.

"Uhm, well erm, you see, the—er—the thing is…uh…" Harry stuttered. Fred remained silent, but looked from Harry to Ginny, to Harry's arm that was still around Ginny. They immediately broke apart and stood about three feet from each other.

"What's the thing, Potter?" George demanded. Harry stared at his feet at a complete loss for words. He'd had it all planned what he'd say if he were to be confronted like this, but all of it was dissolving as fast as Fred's silence.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON?" Fred bellowed.

"Fred, please. We're together now." Ginny said to her brother, indicating to herself and Harry.

"No, you two broke up a year ago." George said stubbornly.

"Well, we discovered we still cared for each other and now we're back together." Ginny said, crossing her arms in front of her.

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE CAN SNOG YOU IN HIS ROOM, GINNY!" Fred roared.

"THIS IS RON'S ROOM, FRED!" Ginny shouted just as loud.

"Do you see him anywhere?" George jumped in.

"ALL OF YOU, SHUT UP! THIS IS STUPID! I LOVE GINNY AND SHE LOVES ME! THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!" Harry yelled. The twins and Harry stood glaring at each other.

"Hey, what's all the shouting about?" Someone asked from the doorway.

"Oh, Charlie!" Ginny cried, running to him and giving him a hug.

"Hey, Gin-Gin. What's wrong? Why's everyone all pissed off?" Bill said, coming in behind Charlie.

"Bill!" She said, turning to him and giving him a big hug as well.

"Can't anyone talk in peace?" Percy demanded, walking in behind Bill. Ginny rushed to give him a hug too.

"Fred, what's going on?" Charlie asked his younger brother. Fred was red in the face and fuming.

"Him…and her!…together!…again!…snogging!" Fred stuttered, pointing from Harry to Ginny. Bill was the only one who seemed to get it. He stared from Ginny to Harry then looked back at the twins.

"What?" He asked softly. George put his hand up to silence Fred's incoherent sputtering.

"We Apparated up here after saying hi to everyone downstairs because we were gonna wake Harry up a little rudely, then we found him already awake, kissing Ginny! Over and over again!" George explained.

"Why you little—!" Bill ran at Harry with an alarming wolfish growl, closely followed by Charlie and Fred. Ginny stepped in front of Harry, took out her wand, and calmly blasted all three back off their feet. Percy squeaked and scurried away so the flying brothers wouldn't hit him. Bill stood up first, red-faced and seething.

"Honestly! You're all being ridiculous!" She said, stowing her wand back in her pocket. Harry was in shock, still standing behind her.

"How long?" Charlie demanded.

"Uhm, it's about nearly two months now, right, Harry?" She said, turning to him with a smile. He nodded.

"TWO MONTHS?" All four bellowed. Percy was carefully looking at the ceiling.

"And it never ran across your mind that your SIX brothers might want to know?" George asked furiously.

"Ron knows, and we were going to tell you five tonight because we knew you were coming."

"Ron knows?" Percy asked.

"Ron knows what?" Ron asked as he walked in, holding Hermione's hand.

"That these two are together." Percy said. He was being very reasonable. He hadn't shouted…yet.

"Oh of course. They've been together for two months." Hermione said dismissively, gesturing with the hand that held Ron's. All five of the other Weasley brothers noticed this.

"So you two finally got it together, huh?" Fred asked his youngest brother with a grin.

"Oh my GOD!" Ginny shouted. They all looked at her. "That is SO unfair! Harry and I get together, and you want to KILL him, but Ron gets with HERMIONE, and you five are all FINE with it! I suppose it's because I'm a girl, is it?" Ginny demanded in a harsh and dangerous voice.

"Well, Ginny, it's just, you're our baby sister and even though I'm fine with it, some of our brothers are just upset." Percy said, shooting his brothers a look.

"Thank you, Percy." Ginny said gratefully. Harry couldn't blame her. He was very grateful to Percy as well. Two Weasley brothers down, four to go.

"Let me try, love." Harry whispered to Ginny. She nodded and stepped aside.

"Okay, guys, why don't we discuss this like calm adults." Harry suggested, sitting down on his bed. "Have a seat." He indicated to Ron's bed. He took in the four Weasley's. Bill's long hair was falling out of the ponytail, Charlie was practically steaming he was so mad, Fred's eyes were popping, and George just looked at Harry coldly. Despite all this, they sat down on the bed and Harry sat in front of them.

Ginny sat down by him, but kept her hands in her lap. Why make them angrier than they already were? "Okay, um, I was thinking I could talk to you guys about why you're mad about me and Ginny." Harry said timidly.

"You've already hurt her once and you aren't going to do it again!" Fred snapped.

"Fred!" Ginny began.

"It's alright." Harry told her softly. "Guys, I have no intention of hurting Ginny again, ever, in my life, ever! I love her very much and I'm gonna be there for her and support her." Harry said, looking at them all.

"How do we know that, though, how do you know that, how can she know that?" Charlie asked Harry loudly.

"You guys just have to trust me. I know it in my heart that we'll be together a long time. All of you, including Ginny, just have to trust me." He said firmly.

"If you hurt her," Bill began.

"I'm not—" Harry tried to say.

"I said, if, Harry. If you hurt her, you do know that nothing compares to the wrath of the Weasley brothers, right?" Bill finished. Harry swallowed dryly and nodded. Bill looked at Harry for a while. "Right." He said, getting up. Harry, Ginny and the remaining three brothers remaining on the bed were taken aback.

"That's it?" Ginny asked him.

"Yes, I heard what I needed to hear from Harry and I know he isn't lying." Bill said calmly, taking out his wand and tapping his head. His hair fell neatly back into the ponytail and he stowed his wand back in his pocket. Harry and Ginny looked at each other, then watched as Bill went over to talk to Ron and Hermione. Three down, three to go. Harry thought. He looked back at the others and cleared his throat.

"Well, I suppose if Bill and Percy and Ron are fine with it, there's no point in me arguing the matter any further." Charlie said, standing up. He smiled at Ginny, and walked toward Percy. Harry turned back to the twins.

"We need to talk." Fred said.

"Okay." Harry waited patiently.

"Ginny, go away." George said.

"Oh, really nice, George." She said moodily. She stood and walked to Hermione.

"Harry." George snapped. Harry turned to look back at the twins. "Listen to me, well, us."

"You do not want to get with Ginny unless you are absolutely positive you're committed to her." -Fred

"Because if you do anything, any little thing to hurt her, the six Weasley brothers together will be nothing compared to what we'll do." -George

"We have quite a few products that need to be tested that we're a little reluctant to do on ourselves, if that tells you anything." -Fred

"So think about that before you ever decide to cause her any kind of pain. Okay?" Fred and George threatened. Harry nodded at them. They both stood up and Apparated away. Harry looked over and noticed everyone was gone except Ginny.

"How'd you manage that?" He asked her as she neared him. She pulled him up.

"I said I needed to talk to you." She said, wrapping her arms around his neck.

"What about?" He inquired, slipping his arms around her waist.

"Us." She said, kissing him deeply.

"GINNY! HARRY! BREAKFAST IS GETTING VERY COLD!" Mrs. Weasley bellowed up at them. Harry and Ginny broke apart and Ginny giggled.

"Things'll never change." She said, shaking her head.

"I hope not." Harry replied, kissing her again.
