4. Making Up and Making Out

AN: I know that I normally don't put an author's note at the beginning of the chapter but I felt that I had to. Ok, First of all this chapter takes place starting when Ginny and Sarah go up to their dorm (It's what happens when Hermione casts the Babbling curse). And yes, the Babbling curse is real. I didn't make it up. So sit back, relax, and enjoy chapter four.

After Ginny and Sarah left

By the time that Harry heard the door upstairs open and close, he was able to reverse the curse wandlessly. As his head shrank back to its normal size, he sat down on the couch, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. He didn't know why he had done it. He knew he shouldn't have talked to her that way. He also knew hat she was capable of doing a lot worse things to him.

'You got off easy, mate.' He thought. 'She could have done a lot of worse things to you than just an enlarging spell. She could have-' His thoughts were interrupted when Ron and Hermione came up behind him.

"What the bloody hell was that all about?" Ron asked him, still in shock.

"Do you really think he'll tell us?" Hermione asked Ron, looking annoyed.

Harry put his head in the palms of his hands and sighed. Now was definitely not the time for their bickering

Ron had whispered something in Hermione's ear. "What? As, if." Hermione said.

Ron cast an anxious glance toward Harry. He raised his wand and muttered "Mufflatio." Since Harry was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't realize the buzzing sound in his ears.

Ron looked at Hermione with a puppy-dog pout on his face. "Come on Mione'," he pleaded. "Would you it for me?"

"No." she answered sternly.

"Come on. I'm your boyfriend."

"Ron, I love you, but sometimes . . ."

"If you do it I'll take my own notes in all our classes."

Hermione looked hesitant. "Come on," Ron said in response to the look on her face. "You know that saying, 'He who hesitates is lost.'"

"Fine." She said after pondering the thought for a moment.

She took the spell off of Harry and muttered something under her breath.

"So Harry, what happened between you and Ginny that made you so mad?" she asked casually.

"Well, it all started when . . ."

After ten minutes of nonstop babble, Harry was finished with his story, and everyone in the common room (who had listened in on the story) was silent.

When Hermione lifted the curse, Harry was finally able to realize what he had just admitted to.

"Go to bed, all of you!" he shouted, and everyone, except Lexie and Emily, scrambled to their dormitories.

Hermione looked ready to explode, as did Lexie and Emily.

"I'm going to have a word with Ginny." Hermione said, already at the stairs. Lexie and Emily followed her, equally upset.

"I sure feel bad for Ginny." Ron said wryly.

after Ginny was cornered in the dormitory.

Harry watched as Ginny hesitantly descended the stairs. Ginny looked up at him guiltily.

"Harry I'm so-"

"Ginny I'm so-"

They both started at the same time.

Ginny smiled slightly, and Harry's stomach did a flip.

Ginny sat down next to him. "It's nice to know that you're sorry." She said quietly.

"But," she started. "I'm sorry to. The way I acted towards you was unacceptable." She sighed.

"I guess I was just scared. I mean, I've been hurt so many times by doing what my heart wants, and not using my brain." She said.

"Ginny? Have I really hurt you that badly in the past?" He asked.

"I didn't say that you were the one of the people that hurt me." She said quickly.

"Ginny, I may be thick. But, I'm not that thick." He said, giving her a small smile.

"I knew that it was unintentional. I just couldn't help but think that if we did go out and after a while and then, God forbid, I broke up, with you would hurt me intentionally, in order to get revenge." She sniffled slightly, and he pulled her close for a hug.

"Ginny, you know that I would never intentionally hurt you, right? You mean too much to me."

Tears were now running freely down her face. She pulled back from the hug and looked into his eyes. "You mean a lot to me to Harry." She whispered.

He looked into her eyes for a moment longer before pulling her closer so that their lips met.

Five minutes later, they were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't notice the voices and flashes of light coming from the stairs.

Hermione smiled at the couple as Colin took another picture of the two kissing. Ron came up behind her and kissed her cheek.

"One would never suspect it." He said avoiding looking at Harry and Ginny.

"Suspect what?" Hermione said smiling. "Everyone knew that it was destined to happen."

"Not that," Ron said. "That you were the mastermind of the whole thing."

"Like I said , everyone knew that it was destined to happen." She said back.

"Well, I didn't. And anyway, What happened the last time something was destined to happen? Huh? Harry was almost killed. That's what."

"Really, Ron? I had know idea." She said sarcastically.

Harry and Ginny had long since broken the kiss and were now laughing at Ron and Hermione's bickering.

Seconds later, the portrait hole swung open and in came (to everyone except Ron's surprise) the Weasley twins.

"Really, Fred how could they?" George asked in mock disgust, looking at Harry and Ginny, who were now snuggled up on the couch.

"They got together without us here to give them our blessing." Fred gave a dramatic sniff, and then started to laugh.

"How did they find out?" Harry asked, looking pointedly at Ron.

"Hey, I may have written a letter, that may have mentioned something." Ron said slyly.

The twins roared with laughter. "Let's get this party started." Fred shouted. "Ron, go get all of the boys. Lexie," George said giving her an approving look. "You can go get all of the girls."

"Eww, George that's my friend you're checking out." Ginny said, looking like she was about to barf. They all started to laugh at the guilty look on George's face.

A half hour later the party was in full swing, and stayed that way, late into the night.

AN(2): Ok bear with me for a second. I don't really have much to say but I would like to thank you all for reviewing. Just an Epilogue to go! The Epilogue will be about thirteen years later, When Mr. and Mrs. Potter are sending their first born child of to Hogwarts. I know that this story is pretty short and it amazes me that certain authors can write chapters that are 230 page long, and all I can write are chapters that are four pages long. I have a great idea for my next fic! I assure you that that one will be a lot longer. I know that I gave in and updated before I got six reviews. So, this time I have to get seven before I post the Epilouge. If you review fast this time, i can post the Epilouge and start work on my next fic.

lots of thanks from,

E and R
