Ginny's Anger

Harry woke up next morning with something warm in his arms. He opened his eyes and saw a flash of red under his chin. It was the best way to wake up. Ginny stirred and turned around facing him. Harry reached on the bedside table and put his glasses on. The sun was already up outside but it didn't look like it was very late. He looked at his watch, the one he had gotten on his 17th birthday from Mrs. Weasley, and it was ten minutes past seven.

"Good morning sweetie!" said Ginny smiling up at him.

"Since when do you call me sweetie, honey?" asked Harry.

"Since you became one!" she answered happily.

"I reckon you should get back to your room, before Hermione notices you were gone." Harry told her.

"But I want to stay here with you! And what if she notices, I don't care. I'm almost of age, she can't stop me from staying here with you." She replied angrily.

"No she can't, but she can tell Ron, or worse, your mother. I don't think either of them will be very happy about hearing that we've been sleeping together."

"But we haven't been, well, at least not in that way."

"Yeah, Ginny, but do you think they'll believe us?"

"You're exactly like my brothers Harry. I'm not a little girl anymore. I don't need people to protect me all the time. I thought you were different, but it seems like you're not." And she stormed out of the room, banging the door behind her.

Great, Harry thought, now she won't be talking to me the whole day, sometimes she's so stubborn. As Harry predicted, Ginny didn't seem like she wanted to talk to Harry at all. At breakfast, she sat as far from him as possible, ate in a rush, and ran back upstairs to her room. The Weasley's and Hermione gave Harry a dirty look (Mr. Weasley included).

"What's up with her?" asked Ron.

"I have no idea." Said Harry. He didn't want to tell Ron the reason why Ginny was mad because that would mean telling him that she slept in his room last night and he didn't think that he would be very happy to hear that.

After breakfast he went upstairs with Ron and Hermione, to Ron's attic bedroom. They sat in silence for a while until Harry decided to break it.

"So, Hermione, when are you and Mr. Weasley leaving for Australia?" asked Harry. Ron looked very sad at hearing about Hermione leaving him.

"Oh, this Saturday, three days from now. We decided to Apparate to the airport so Mr. Weasley doesn't have to borrow another car from the Ministry again. I think it's easier that way, you know, with all the traffic." Harry nodded

"So Harry, how have you been doing?" asked Ron, wanting to change the subject.

Harry told them about the letter he had gotten from the Ministry the other day.

"That's wonderful Harry. Ron and me got job offers too. They offered me a job at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. Apparently someone told them about S.P.E.W. and they thought is was a great campaign and they're going to help me expand it. They love the idea." She said excitedly.

"What about you Ron?" Harry asked.

"I'm an Auror Harry! Can you believe it? An Auror!!. We'll be working together. Of course, you'll be my boss but still. Isn't it great? George wanted me to help him with the joke shop but I figured this was better. So he offered Ginny the job and she's going to do it once she's done with her seventh year." At this Harry felt a pang of guilt. He hadn't told Ginny about the job offer yet, but he assumed he wouldn't be able to since it didn't look like she would be talking to him anytime soon. Harry supposed that Hermione saw the look on his face at hearing Ginny's name because she asked:

"Harry, are you sure you and Ginny are okay. She didn't look very happy this morning. Do you know what's wrong with her?"

"Oh, we had a little argument this morning. But it's fine, I figure she'll be over it soon." He answered.

"This morning, before breakfast? But she was in her room this morning. How could you have talked to her, we came down to breakfast together." Said Hermione eyeing him suspiciously. Harry felt trapped. He could tell Hermione about it but not with Ron there. He didn't want Ron to know that he and Ginny had been together the whole night.

"Er…, we met in the hallway very early and a little argument came up. But don't worry about it too much." Harry lied. Ron seemed satisfied with the lie but Hermione didn't look like she believed him. Luckly at that same moment Mrs. Weasley walked in.

"Could you kids come downstairs, I need your help with something." She asked. They all walked downstairs and came to a halt at the foot of the stairs because the whole floor was covered in what looked like some green goo.

"Mrs. Weasley, what happened?" asked Hermione

"I don't know what it was. But when I opened the drawer to get a knife it exploded and this went all over the floor." Mrs. Weasley answered.

"But we didn't hear any explosion." Said Harry.

"That's because it didn't make any noise. Very strange, I have never heard of anything like this before. I figure it's another product from Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. I'll have to tell George about it when he comes down to lunch. I'm afraid of opening any of the other drawers now, I don't want another explosion like that." Said Mrs. Weasley.

"Scourgify" said Hermione, pointing her wand at the floor. Nothing happened.

"Oh, don't bother dear, I've tried everything and it didn't work. I think we're going to have to get rid of it the Muggle way. I'm going to go look for some old rags and some soap and then call Ginny so she can help us too." And she walked back up the stairs.

A few minutes later she came back holding some brushes, a few dirty rugs, and a bucket with soapy water. Ginny arrived not long afterwards and gave Harry a small smile. Harry smiled back and assumed she was not mad at him anymore. She walked close to him, and whispered in his ear.

"I'm really sorry Harry, I don't know what came over me. Come to my room after we're done with this so I can apologize properly." She had a dirty look on her face. Harry nodded and started cleaning. The goo seemed extremely hard to remove. It took them more then three hours to clean the floor by what time Mrs. Weasley had to start cooking lunch. They all went to take showers after the dirty work and Harry went to Ginny room as she had asked. She ran into his arms as soon as he walked through the door and kissed him passionately.

"So is that your apology?" he asked.

"Part of it." She said

"I wish you would apologize more often." Harry said with a dirty smile on his face.

They walked to her bed together but not before Harry locked the door magically so nobody would walk in on them. They sat down and Ginny started kissing him again. Harry responded, wrapping his tongue around hers in a very fiery kiss. They kissed for what seemed like hours at which time they were both laying on the bed. Harry on top of Ginny, her arms around his waist, reaching under his shirt. Harry felt shivers down his spine at her touch. He wanted go further, but she was still only sixteen, he had to hold his urges. He pulled out of the kiss and lay back on the bed. Ginny put her head on his very muscular chest. All that Quiditch must've really worked for him, Ginny thought. They fell asleep together, only to be woken up by Mrs. Weasley calling them all downstairs for lunch. They both stood up and walked down the stairs hand in hand. They sat down next to each other. Hermione, who was sitting on Harry's right, asked:

"So you guys made up?"

"Yeah, where's Ron?" he asked noticing that Ron was nowhere at the table.

"He's at the joke shop with George, he needed a little help. He already ate lunch." she answered.

They all ate in silence. Harry, Ginny, and Hermione walked outside in the backyard.

"Ok, so now that Ron's not here I want the truth. Ginny, where were you last night and what did you two argue this morning about?" Hermione asked. Harry assumed he would have to tell her the truth, there was no point in lying to her.

"YOU TWO SLEPT TOGETHER??" she asked angrily after hearing Harry's response.

"Keep your voice down Hermione, or mum'll hear you. And we didn't do what you think we have. We're not like you and Ron." Said Ginny.

"Oh, a likely story. And me and Ron haven't been doing anything." replied Hermione angrily.

"If you tell Ron a word about this, I'll…..I'll" said Ginny.

"You'll what? And don't worry, I won't tell him about it this time. But this better not happen again. You're not even of age yet, Ginny."

"Would you people stop protecting me? I know what I'm doing and for the thousandth time, Harry and I haven't been doing anything that we shouldn't have." Said Ginny. Hermione didn't seem to have a reply to that so Harry changed the subject. He told Ginny about the job offer.

"Oh, Harry, that's great. Of course, I'll miss you terribly but I'm very happy for you, you don't get offers like that everyday. And we can meet on the Hogsmeade weekends, plus school doesn't start in another month. We have enough time to spend together."

Ron arrived much later that night, looking exhausted. He went straight to sleep. Harry decided to stay over until he started work (Mrs. Weasley insisted). He had a meeting with Kingsley the following day about when that would happen.
