It's not just a bet anymore!

Summary: Harry Potter makes a bet with the Weasley brother. They bet him that he can't date Ginny for a whole month. Harry decided to take them up on the bet. But what if Harry winds up falling for Ginny. What happens when Ginny finds out?

~*~*~*

Ginny pulled Harry inside the Burrow. Ron was sitting on the couch in the living room looking nervous. Ginny laughed at her brother's state. She knew Ron had liked Hermione for a long time now. He was just afraid she didn't feel the same for him. Which Ginny also knew wasn't true. She and Hermione had become quite close and she knew exactly how Hermione felt for her brother.

Hermione smiled as she walked into the burrow. It was good to be back with her second family. Not to mention Ron was there. She would never admit it to him but she had liked him for years now. Her only fear was that he didn't feel the same for her. "Hermione." Ginny yelled as she saw her friend. Hermione smiled and hugged Ginny. "We have so much to talk about, but Ron has been waiting for you so I'll let you get to him."

"Ok." Hermione pulled away from her only girl friend. "It's great to see you again Gin. I missed you." Hermione looked at Harry and hugged him.

Harry picked her up off the ground and spun her around once. "Hey you."

Hermione kissed his cheek gently.

Ron stood up off the couch and walked over to Hermione. Harry actually felt bad for him. He knew Ron liked Hermione and he knew that Ron was nervous, especially because of this stupid bet. Not that he didn't like spending time with Ginny but this all happened under the wrong conditions.

"Hey Hermione can I speak with you," He glanced at his sister and Harry. "In private."

"Come on Harry we're not welcome here." Ginny grabbed his arm and pulled him away.

Ron turned back to Hermione who looked at him, waiting patiently. "What is it Ron?" She asked sweetly licking her lips.

Ron couldn't help it; in a moment of passion he swept her up into his arms and kissed her hard. He didn't expect her to kiss him back. As the shock wore off they both melted into the kiss.

Ginny had her head on Harry's shoulder as they sat outside on the porch. Harry didn't want to disturb Ron especially since he knew what Hermione and he were doing. Ginny watched the setting sun and suddenly it dawned on her. Her two baby cousins were coming over today. Jon was older than Marissa by a year, Jon was 6 therefore Marissa was 5. A smiled graced her face. Harry looked down. "What?" He asked her wondering what was on her mind to make her smile so widely.

"I just remembered my baby cousins are coming over today."

"Aren't; they the spawns of Satan according to Ron." Harry asked fearing the children, if they are anything like their cousins Fred and George they sure would have their hand full tonight.

Ginny laughed, "Definitely not. Ron only hates them because when we were younger they found his journal and basically read it, or whatever they could read at the time, to the whole house." Ginny grabbed her stomach as she continued to laugh. "It was so funny to see them attempt to say Hermione's name."

Harry could only imagine what Ron had written about Hermione in his journal.

When the couple needed a breath of air they pulled away form one another. Ron looked at Hermione completely bewildered as to why she had kissed him. "Well." Hermione said breaking the silence. "That was unusual."

Ron just nodded agreeing with her. All he could think about was that kiss and how much he wanted to do it again. But he had to control himself; it was just a stupid bet. So what if he likes her, she doesn't like him. She only kissed him back because. well he hadn't come up with a reason for that yet but he way sure there was a reason.

Hermione smiled widely, "Well I wasn't aware that you felt that way Ron. You do feel that way don't you?" She asked not completely sure that him kissing her meant he had feelings for her.

"Um." Ron began to stutter but then quickly decided against it. There was no need for him to hide it anymore. He had kissed her why not tell her the truth. "Yes Hermione I've liked you since, well I guess since I realized that you could be interested in other guys." Ron said referring to Krum. "They just developed over time and now. Well now I can't get you out of my mind." Ron took in a deep breath and waited for rejection.

Hermione's smile faded slowly. "I can't believe it Ronald. You've felt like this since our fourth year and you haven't even had the decency to tell me!" Hermione was actually a little hurt that he hadn't told her but she was more happy than anything. Her dreams were finally coming true. Ron flinched as she yelled at him, then he saw he features change slightly. "But who am I to judge I've been doing the same thing as you."

Ron gaped at her she couldn't feel the same way could she. Hermione saw the doubt in Ron's eyes and decided to fix it. She walked over to him and kissed him again. This time slower and gentler with more feeling. She hoped this would show him how she felt.

After the kiss Ron opened his eyes and smiled down at Hermione. She did feel the same way. Maybe the twins knew what they were doing all along.

Ginny felt complete sitting there next to Harry. They had been quite the entire time but Ginny didn't mind it at all. It was somewhat comforting. Harry looked down at the girl next to him. She was so serene, and beautiful. Her brown eyes told her emotions. Her red wavy hair down to her mid back section was smooth and silky. She wasn't too skinny and she wasn't too fat. She was average. She seemed like the perfect girl. And hell she was a good kisser. Harry condemned himself for thinking of such thoughts. She was Ron's little sister, and this was all just a stupid bet which would be over in a month.

Ginny couldn't understand what Harry saw in her. She was just plain old average Ginny. There was nothing special about her. Why would he choose her when he could have any other girl he wanted? He was handsome sweet and caring. And hell he was famous. Of course that wasn't why she liked him.

Harry turned and looked at the walkway. He saw four figured making their way over to the burrow.Immediatly he stood up and reached for his wand. Ginny looked towards where Harry was looking and put a hand over his and lowered it slowly. He looked at her curiously.

"Ginny dear!" A chubby woman with blond hair said giving her a large hug.

"Hi Aunt Claire!" Ginny said hugging her back. Ginny turned and faced her uncle, her mother's brother, and hugged him. "Hi Uncle Matt!"

"Hello precious." He said kissing her cheek. "Are your parents inside.

"Yes." Ginny said as the adults walked past her. Standing behind them now left alone were two young children. One with blond hair and the other with Weasley red hair. The red hair belonged to Jonathon and the blond to Marissa. "Hey there you two." Ginny said bending down in front of them.

"Ginny!" Marissa yelled jumped onto Ginny and hugging her tightly around the neck.

"Gin Gin." Jon said kissing her cheek.

Marissa clung to Ginny's neck. "Baby you're going to have to let go. Have to introduce you to someone." Marissa let ho but pouted while she did so. "No pouting Missy!" Ginny said gently tapping her cousin's lips. Marissa laughed. "Kids this is Harry. Harry this is Jon," she said patting his red hair, "And this is Marissa." She sat putting her other hand on top of Marissa's blond hair.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Marissa said curtsying very cutely.

Harry laughed at the gesture, "it's very nice to meet you too."

"Come on let's get inside everyone." Ginny said smiley widely. Jon ran ahead of her and Marissa grabbed her cousin's hand. Harry walked behind them watching how Ginny was so careful to make sure Marissa kept up with her, and she listened intently to the young girl babbling on and on. Harry thought it was absolutely cute how Ginny devoted herself to the child. But if Ron was right at all this night would be hell.
