Hermione sighed. 'I suppose we should try it. But on one condition.' Hermione sent a death glare at Ginny and Harry.
'You two are coming with us.'
Chapter 3
Ginny and Harry were dumbstruck. Well, Ginny thought to herself, didn't see that one coming.
Harry gaped at Hermione. 'We've got to come with you? Why on earth would we have to come with you?'
Hermione glared at Ginny, Harry, and Ron in turn. 'Because, if he annoys me I want someone else to talk to, other than him,' she said angrily jabbing her finger in Ron's direction.
'Whoa, okay, wait a second. Harry and I don't need counseling,' Ginny said desperately in a last attempt so sway Hermione's already made up mind. 'We're so in sync, I can tell what he's thinking right now,' Ginny said. She looked at Harry. She sighed. 'The prat's thinking we should get a couples' massage.'
Harry nodded. Ron and Hermione looked surprised, but Harry didn't seem phased by Ginny's mind reading.
Ron looked at Harry with a confused look.
'What?' Harry asked, 'she's been doing that since we started dating. By now, I can tell what she's thinking too.' He looked at Ginny. 'She's hoping there will be a chocolate fountain somewhere at this place.'
Ginny nodded absentmindedly, going back to her coffee. 'Yep, that's it. Look, no offense to you two, but we don't fight. And when we do, which is really rare, it's healthy fighting…not the lethal kind.' She paused. 'Again, no offense.'
Hermione seemed slightly downtrodden with this discovery, but regained her poise almost immediately.
'Well, then, you two can have a nice vacation. It is at a spa isn't it? You can relax, enjoy the scenery, and keep me sane,' Hermione said. 'All you have to do is attend a few meetings.'
Harry looked over at Ginny, who tried to convey to Harry that she didn't care either way. He got the message. Harry felt like needed a vacation, anyway. The Canons really did work him hard during the week. He'd been playing for the Canons for about three months now, and it was Ron who had introduced their head coach to Harry, shortly after Ron landed the job. Harry was happy to work with Ron, and very happy to play quidditch, but it truly was hard and tiring work. He left the flat around 7:00 each weekday morning, and sometimes didn't come home until 8 or 9. He looked over at Hermione. They might as well go.
'Well, we don't have a game coming up anytime soon, so I suppose we could take a week off. What about you, Gin, can you take a week?' Ginny had been working at Saint Mungos as a Healer-in-training for the past few months.
Ginny sighed. 'Yes, I can try.'
'Great!' Hermione said, clasping her hands together, 'It's settled then. We'll all go to this stupid marriage counseling thing. When did you say it was?' she turned to Harry.
'Next week. So as today's Saturday, we should start packing now,' he looked at Ginny.
'Yes,' Ginny smiled at Harry, and then turned to Ron and Hermione, 'thanks for breakfast, you two.' She stood and gave Ron a hug, and kissed Hermione on the cheek.
Harry stood and shook hands with Ron and kissed Hermione's cheek saying, 'Great, so we'll meet at the Leaky Cauldron at 7:00 Monday morning to catch the Night Bus.' Ginny and Harry waved goodbye as they walked to the door. Harry took hold of Ginny's hand and smiled at her. She smiled back.
As soon as they got outside, Ginny turned to Harry saying, 'You never know. Maybe it'll be fun. They apparated back to their flat and began making arrangements to get off work and go away for a week.
Ginny started packing after flooing her boss, and begging for a week off. This should be an interesting week. She thought to herself, after her boss finally gave in. He thought she needed a vacation, too, did he?
She squealed as Harry crept quietly up behind her and grabbed her waist and began kissing her neck form behind. Ginny giggled. 'This definitely will be fun.'
Sorry I ended it so soon! I know it was a short chapter, but I had to end it somewhere, and I promise, the next one will be longer.
I need name suggestions for the marriage counselor, and another random woman's name. Thanks for reading! I really appreciate it!
