A/N I'm so sorry for not updating. I was meant to do it earlier but the document manager was being moody with me, so I had to wait a while to place it on here. I would like to thank kp, quietshadow06, Kristi, Cat4Dan207, the sheep are coming BAAA and divya thanks for reviewing! You guys rock! Here is chapter 5! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: argh! Not again! First of all no I'm not J.K in disguise, I don't own Harry Potter or the characters! And that's it!
Ginny looked out the window one last time before going downstairs.
When Ginny entered the kitchen and saw that Harry, Ron and Hermione were already sitting down with the table filled with pots of stew, vegetables and meat.
Ginny froze when she saw Harry there, tired and worn. He looked up when she entered. He smiled at her and said softly "Hi Ginny…" Ginny didn't greet back and sat down opposite Harry, next to Hermione.
After a minute or two of complete silence Hermione then said to Ginny "So what are you planing to do this summer?" Ginny shrugged "I don't know. I will stay here like every summer. Nothing has changed for me." While Ginny replied to Hermione she eyed Harry. Harry was trying as hard as he could to not look at her.
Ginny pulled away from eyeing Harry as Mr. Weasley, Lupin, Tonks, Fleur, Bill, Fred and George and a few other order of the phoenix members entered and sat at the table while Mrs Weasley came in with a big jug or butterbeer. Ginny attempted a smile as the troupe came in.
Lupin gave the four teenagers a nod and sat down. The rest of the troupe followed his pursuit. Ginny glanced once more at Harry. She could have sworn that he had just been looking at her. But apparently he was in a conversation with Fred, George and Ron.
Hermione gave Ginny a look that clearly stated 'Just tell him, he will understand.' But Ginny ignored it.
As the meal went on things started to get quiet. The order members started to leave claiming that they needed to take things cared of or left needing to go back to work. There now was only Hermione, Tonks, Lupin, Harry, Ron, Fred, George, Fleur, Bill, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley.
The table was quiet for a second and no one spoke a word. Ginny turned to Harry and said bitterly "Well Harry… it was nice seeing you again…"
Harry turned in her direction and said softly "Thanks." And that's all he said. Nothing more, nothing less.
Ginny started feeling anger bubbling up inside of her; he didn't care how she felt! All he cared about was himself and his ego!
Ginny wanted to hit him so badly. She wanted to put him into place.
Ginny then said with all bitterness coming through "And to think… I thought you kept your word."
Everyone watched intently waiting to see the next move.
Harry bowed his head in shame and said, "I-I-I don't know what you're talking about…" Harry obviously didn't want to be in a scene of violence near her family.
Ginny looked at him closely, it almost looked like he was tearing apart inside.
How dare he fall apart! He's supposed to be the man of courage! And he's sad because I'm talking about him ditching me!
Ginny looked at him intently "Oh I think you do Mr. Potter."
There was whispering across the room, Mr. Potter? Since when did Ginny talk to Harry by his last name? Everyone knew it was meant to be offensive, and it seemed to have worked.
Harry ran his hands through his hair, which was always a sign of weakness from the boy. He sighed and said "Ginny, please, can we talk about this later?" He was exhausted but that wasn't an excuse in Ginny's eyes.
One part of her was saying 'I'm sorry Harry… will you forgive me?' and another part of her was saying 'He deserves it! Shame on him!' The second part of her was dominating at the moment.
Ginny was torn, not really knowing what to do.
Ginny then chose to the one that seemed most satisfying, "LATER? LATER? Potter I've been waiting for a whole year to talk about this! A. WHOLE. YEAR! I think this has been postponed enough!"
The room was quiet. No one dared intervene with Ginny's wrath. Lupin was livid, Tonks was shocked, Mr Weasley was stunned and Mrs Weasley didn't know what to do, Fred and George were impressed by their sister's wrath and felt sorry for Harry who was receiving it, Hermione was pained at Ginny's attack and Ron was just plain confused. Bill looked pail and Fleur just stared unable to understand Ginny's behaviour.
Harry looked like he was about to shatter into a million pieces. He looked so fragile as Ginny stood up. Harry looked at the hostile face of Ginny.
Mr. Weasley got up and said quickly "I think I'll go and get the desert!" He then bolted from the room. Making everyone pause from the argument.
Harry looked at her and stood up slowly "Ginny, please…"
He was like a wounded puppy! It was pathetic!
Lupin got up and said softly, not wanting to hurt Ginny's feeling in anyway "Ginny, let Harry rest… he's had a rough day…" Ginny interrupted Lupin saying "OH DON'T YOU SIDE FOR HIM! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE DO YOU! HE HURT ME! HE BROKE ME!"
Ginny was just about to yell at him some more when Harry said "Look I'm tired, I'll see you later. And we'll talk…" He looked at Hermione and she nodded.
Harry went to leave but before he could get past his own chair Ginny grabbed the nearest bowl that just so happened to be the empty salad bowl and hurled it at Harry.
Hermione screamed, Ron yelled in fright, Lupin and Bill gasped, Tonks gulped, Mrs Weasley and Fleur shrieked and the twins yelled out in unison "Watch it!" and Mr Weasley who had just come back with the desert (rhubarb pie) dropped the pie all over the floor.
Harry didn't see the bowl coming but heard enough warnings for him to know to duck.
He ducked just before the bowl could hit him on the head.
The bowl smashed into smithereens. Tonks then appeared from under the table, ducking under there in fear of the bowl going in the wrong direction.
Everyone gaped unable to say a thing.
Ginny froze. What had she just done? She had just tried to hurt Harry!
Tears were now flowing down Ginny's face. Before anyone could get his or her composier, Ginny ran upstairs into her bedroom never wanting to come out again.
Harry blinked looking amazed at the events that had just happened.
Fred looked around "Well… that certainly takes the cake" seeing the pie all over the ground.
George eyed the shattered bowl "Yeah… definitely a happy day to be alive and well… well maybe not…"
Ron looked as pail as anyone had ever seen him and couldn't utter a word.
Fred looked amazed at Harry "Wow mate! First you vanquish you-know-who… then you arrest all those scum known as his followers and now you've experienced an attempt of homicide on you by a 17 year-old girl! Wow! I don't know what you have left to do on your list of things. And if you do have anything left, it must be very small."
Lupin was the first to actually move from his stance. He went to the salad bowl, pulled out his wand and muttered "reparo" he then pointed his wand at the destroyed pie and muttered "scorgify" The bowl went back together and the pie disappeared.
Mrs. Weasley was in a state of shock and looked like she was going to faint anytime soon. Tonks noticed this and went to Mrs. Weasley's aide.
Fleur just wailed " 'Ow 'orrible!" and Harry through himself onto his chair. Hermione went over and mumbled to Harry "Don't worry… it'll turn out alright…"
There was so much commotion but Harry couldn't distinguish what was happening. All the pain of leaving Ginny in his sixth year of Hogwarts came back, all the burden placed back, everything he had worked so hard to get rid of, came back…
A/N well… how was that for you? You wanted me to pick it up and I told you it would! I didn't like the end result for this chapter. It just seems to… flat. It didn't really flow like the other ones did… or maybe that's because I typed this one at 10:00 at night? Either way I wasn't impressed by the end result. I will tell you if they are going to Hogwarts or not in maybe the next chapter or the next. Now please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please leave a review! You will make me feel very happy inside!
