Chapter 13

She couldn't wait for Friday. She wanted to see what did Fred, George and Harry thought about for the party. Fred and George probably went completely out of their way. That is the way they are. Maximum or minimum. No in between.
She couldn't believe that Harry is such a great boyfriend. They are constantly communicating through the paper. He is not afraid to show affection. Not even in front of Ron, who is always pretending that he is vomiting when Harry is holding her.
She was sitting on a couch with Hermione.
"So, is everything fine in the paradise?" she asked. Hermione was probably the only person she could talk with about that stuff. She was sometimes also talking about it with mom, but that is not the same.
"Everything is perfect, actually." She admitted.
"Really?" she asked. "That wasn't the case with Cho."
"Well, I am not Cho." She remarked.
"I guess you are right. You and Harry are way more compatible. Him and Cho don't have that much in common. He also once told me that he feels that he can't be himself in front of her. That she only sees a person that Cedric died with. You see real him. And he can truly be himself in front of you. I think that is the point. And he is constantly talking about how amazing you are." There it is, Hermione over-thinking everything again. Nothing new.
"He is a great boyfriend." She concluded.
"I never saw him happier than he is with you." Hermione said with a huge smile. She felt a hug from behind.
"Gossiping about me, weren't you?" Harry asked his arms around her, his chin on her shoulder. She was messing with his hair.
"Not everything is about you, Potter." She said flirtly.
"Well, in my head, everything is about you, Weasley." She kissed him on a cheek for that. Hermione was watching them, smiling like crazy. Ron was also watching.
"You guys are making me sick." He said and walked away.
"That is the whole point!" she yelled.
Her and Harry were a big thing in Hogwarts. News about them spread faster than a bullet. A lot of her classmates were asking her about it, but she was just cutting them off with a joke. They didn't care about the gossips.
"Are you exited for the Friday?" he asked.
"Yeah. I bet you and my crazy brothers did a good job with planning everything." She said.
"Oh, you bet we did." He said. "I need to study with Ron and I have a lot to do. See you later."
"See you later." She said in return. They gave each other a quick kiss and he left to study with Ron.
"Okay, I am admitting, he is pretty perfect." Hermione said. They both chuckled.
"You know what I haven't done in a while? Wrote a letter to my mom. I think I am going to do that now." She remembered.
"Okay." Hermione said. "See you later, Gin."
"See ya." She said and went to her dorm. She took out the parchment and a quill.
'Hello, mom!
I know that I haven't written you in a while, but a lot of things were going on.
I hope that the Order is still working. I think that more and more people are seeing that something bad is going on.
I also have some news. Harry and I are dating. I know that those are news that will make you happy. He is doing so much better now. He was really unstable, but we all managed to put a smile on his face. Ron freaked out a little bit, but he has to deal with it. We are really happy together. And he is so great. He is so caring and understanding.
I really hope that you are holding on and that you are doing better. Say Tonks, dad and Bill that I said hi to them.
I love all of you!
Ginny'
After she wrote it, she was just starring at it. She never liked writing too long letters. She didn't want to talk about the injury. She would probably get the ban to play quidditch. She couldn't afford herself that.
She put it in an envelope and wrote mom's name and address. They moved back to the Burrow after Sirius died.
She went out to find Ron. He was the only one with an owl. He was sitting on by the table with Harry, surrounded with books. She walked to their table.
"Oh, hey, Gin!" Harry said, immediately putting smile on his face. "What's up?"
"I actually, I need my stupid brother now." She said.
"Oh, that is new." Ron said, still looking at the books.
"What?" she asked. This didn't look good to her.
"You mostly come here to snog my best friend." He said.
"First, that is not your problem. Second, I just wanted to ask you where is your goddamn owl? I need to send a letter to mom." She said.
"It is on a window in my dorm." He said. He didn't look at her even once.
"Thanks." She said and kissed Harry quickly. "See ya."
She gave the letter to Pigwidgeon.
The next day she was in a common room with Harry. They were studying History of magic. It was already eleven 'o clock. They were only ones left. Tomorrow was Friday. She was really exited.
She saw something unusual on the window.
"Hermes?" she said. Harry turned around and looked at the window.
"Percy's owl?" he asked.
"Yeah." She said and went to the window. He was holding the letter. It was addressed to her. "What the hell he wants?" She opened the letter. She started to read it out loud.
'Dear Ginerva,
I know that you haven't heard from me in the while,'
"Like I wanted to." She stopped just to say that. "Sorry, it was stronger than me."
"Keep on reading." He said.
'but I heard some news from our mother that surprised me.
You probably heard that I also send a letter to Ronald and I felt the need to send one to you too. Some wise advice is what you need.
I heard that you are dating Harry Potter. My first thought was 'Is she out of her mind?'
Ginerva, please tell somebody that he is probably abusing you. You are a smart young lady, you wouldn't be doing anything with that boy if he is not threatening you. He is dangerous and unstable. I know that you are scared, but there is Dolores Umbridge who would definitely help anyone in need.'
"Is here some other Dolores Umbridge that I don't know about?" she stopped again.
"I am asking myself the exact same thing." He said. "Go on."
'If you are with him on your own wish, which I hardly believe, you are insane. He is extremely dangerous. I know that you and Ronald are probably really scared of him. I heard that he had many outbursts. He is insane. Again, don't be scared to ask for help.
I know that you are probably mad at me because of our parents. In my position you would do the exact same thing. They are blinded because of Potter and Dumbledore. Don't listen to them. They don't know what are they doing.
Sincerely,
Percy'
That was it. She was never this furious.
"Sorry, if I was abusing you…"
"Harry, this is not the time for your jokes." She said. "What a jerk!"
"I agree." He said.
"He knows you since you started Hogwarts! He knows that you are not some attention seeking, abusing lunatic! He thinks that I would do the same thing in his place! And who is this official with their siblings? I have an idea." She said and went back to the table. She took a piece of parchment and a quill.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I am responding to my brother." She said and started writing.
'Not-so-dear Percy,
you are a jerk! You know Harry since he started Hogwarts! He spent so many holidays with us! He is the best boyfriend ever! If I could make my perfect boyfriend, it wouldn't be perfect as Harry. He cares, he understands and he is loyal. Unlike some people. You left all of us. Because of… What? Ministry? You should be ashamed! How can you even live with yourself?
Do you know what is Umbridge doing to us? She is torturing us. She is physically abusing us. We are barely allowed to breathe. Thank God, we have professor McGonagal, Fred and George. Without them, life here would be unbearable. She was using crucio on us to tell her the truth. Is that you precious Dolores, brother?
How do you even dare talk like that about our parents? If I was in your place, what you did would be the last thing that I would be doing! I am putting nothing in front of our family. You shouldn't be putting anything in front of it, too. But, you need to have a brain and common sense for that.
If you think that I am going to leave the boy that I always dreamed of and turn against our parents, you are the biggest idiot in the world!
Ginny
P.S.
Fuck you!'
You could see in her handwriting that she was mad. She gave it to Harry to read it. He read it and then looked at her.
"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" he asked her, with admiration in his eyes.
"Is it good?" she asked.
"It is the best. Send it now!" he said.
"Think of that as done." She said and gave Hermes the letter. Feeling a huge weight leaving her chest.
