Chapter 12: Let the dating begin!
Once in the Leaky Cauldron Ginny looked around to find Michael. It wasn't that hard, but his back was turned. She snuck up behind him, put her arms around his neck and purred into his ear, "Gotcha."
Michael started and turned around, "Wow, Ginny." Was all he could manage out.
"Hey Michael." Ginny said, "Lets get out of here and go somewhere cooler." With that she grabbed his hand and ran out of the Leaky Cauldron into muggle London.
After about an hour of shopping Michael had to go so they walked back to the Leaky Cauldron.
"I had fun Michael" Ginny said, leaning over and kissing him lightly, "I'll see you some other time." With that she walked out into Diagon Alley.
As Ginny walked into Diagon Alley the first thing she spotted was Kathleen running over to her
"Ginny!" Kathleen yelled, "Where were you two days ago? We were worried sick! We thought maybe you got lost or something, which is so stupid of us because of corse you wouldn't get lost so then we had no idea what was going to happen to you-" Kathleen burst, out only to be stopped by Ginny putting a hand over her mouth.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't owl you before hand." Ginny said, "Or I guess it would have been afterward." When all Kathleen did was stare at her seeming very confused, Ginny tried to explain, "I might have forgotten about the whole date thing." She said with her head down.
"Well that's ok." Kathleen said, "It's a good thing we all needed to shop for something or other, or else you would be out of luck."
"Kathy, what are you-" Ginny started, but stopped when she saw two very familiar people walking around the bend, "Draco!" she exclaimed as she ran to envelope him in one of the biggest hugs he had ever gotten.
"Ginny?" Draco said, confused after Ginny stopped hugging him, "What are you doing here?"
"Well I had a date with Michael and so ya." Ginny said, hoping Draco remembered the letter she had sent him a couple days ago.
"Well I hope that went well." Said Draco giving her a wink, "Come here." And with that Draco hugged her close and kissed her, it was brief, but it filled Ginny with happiness that she was here once again with Draco and she felt loved.
"Let's go shop more." Ginny said, "I don't think I could ever get tired of that."
So they walked off for more shopping, the girls in front and the guys bringing up the rear.
"So Kathy, how's Blaise?" Ginny said, slyly
Kathy blushed, "He's great," she said, "I really like him Ginny."
"I'm so happy for you Kathy!" Ginny Squealed
Little did they know it but the guys in the back were talking about the same thing, "Kathleen, she's well, she's, wow." Blaise said, lost for words
"I'm happy for you Blaise, maybe you'll finally stop dating around, get yourself settled." Draco said, punching Blaise in the shoulder
"I could say the same thing about you man," Blaise said, punching him back, "You and Ginny seem so happy together, more happy then I've ever seen you."
Just then the girls pulling them into a store to watch them try things on interrupted them.
"How about this?" Ginny said, after about the fiftieth time coming out of the dressing room. She was in a green halter that matched her eyes and a faded jean miniskirt.
"What about this?" Kathleen said at the same time. Coming out with a Black halter and a bright red skirt with ruffles.
Both of the boys sat there with their jaw's dropped, then they quickly recovered themselves, "Yes." they said simultaneously.
The girls looked at each other with grins and dashed back into the dressing rooms.
"Sure you don't need help in there?" Draco asked Ginny
"You know, I just might." Ginny said laughing. She poked her head out and saw Draco getting up with a grin on his face, "It was a joke." She laughed even harder
"Oh Ginny dear, you should know better than to joke with Draco," Draco said coming closer, "But, I'll let this one slip." He grinned
Ginny smiled, "I knew you would." She said, coming out of the dressing room dressed, with the out fit she had just tried on in her hands.
Kathleen then came out and they made their way to the counter.
After almost a full day of shopping Ginny flood back to the burrow with about six shopping bags. Along with the outfit she had bought with Draco she also bought a couple things she wouldn't let him see for a while. She grinned to herself and made her way to the kitchen to put her bags down and to get a drink. Right when she went into the kitchen she saw Ian sitting in a chair being interrogated by Ron and Harry.
"What the fuck do you think you're doing?." Ginny said sharply
"Hello Ginny," Ron said coldly, "We were just getting to know your friend Ian here. If that is your name." He directed that last part to Ian
"Ginny, am I glad to see you, you wouldn't believe what they did to-" Ian started, but Ginny cut him off
"Oh believe me, I do." She said, her words like ice, "Ron, Why can't you accept that I am not a little girl anymore. I'm in 7th year now. I can deal with myself. You have been the same way since Collin, then Michael, then Dean, then Seamus and now Ian!" She yelled
"You broke up with Seamus?" Ron asked cluelessly.
" Yes, at least 3 weeks ago. Then I met Ian. So will you please leave me alone?"
"Ginny, you're my sister, I can't have you going from person to person faster than lightning."
Harry, who had not spoken for a long time spoke up, "Ginny, your brother's right."
That seemed to make Ginny only angrier, "Did I say you could talk to me Harry Bloody Fucking Potter?" She seethed, then she turned to Ian, "Sorry Ian, I forgot about our date, how about tomorrow night? OK? Bye then." With that she lead Ian toward the door, pushed him out, closed the door, locked it, and turned towards the kitchen. "Ron?" she asked sweetly, "Where are mum and dad?"
"Upstairs in their room, why?"
Ginny quickly cast a silencing charm, into the room and proceeded to beat Harry and Ron into pulps.
When Hermione came back to the burrow the house was oddly quiet. She went into the kitchen to see where everyone was and saw Harry and Ron both eyes blacked, with their arms at weird angles trying to get up off of the floor.
"Oh my god," Hermione gasped helping them up, "Who did this?"
"Ginny." Harry grunted, trying to get off the ground. Ginny had put a leg locker hex on him and she had tweaked it so only she could do the counter curse. Not that any of them knew that.
"Ginny?" Hermione gasp incredulously, "Why on Earth would she do something like that?"
"She was mad at Ron for butting into her life and I said I agreed with him. Harry answered, looking at Ron.
Ron was a bit worse for ware, he had boils all over his face ands he was still unconscious.
"I am going to find Ginny and give her a talking to." Hermione said, valiantly marching out of the kitchen and up the stairs.
Ginny was in her room lying on the bed petting Cerry and holding Xena, when Hermione barged in and started ranting about how horrible she was to Ron and Harry and how she should be ashamed of herself and how they only had her best interest in mind.
"Hermione!" Ginny yelled, trying to make her shut up, "What the hell is your problem? You only care because you're Ron's girlfriend and the only reason I never sat with you guys is because you were always sticking each other's tongues down each other's throats The reason I'm not going out with Dean anymore is because he was just weird and the reason I'm not going out with Seamus is because he always trying to get into my pants and the reason I'm going out with Ian now is because I like him I think he likes me and I don't get why you're yelling at me because all I need right now a big sister! Someone I can talk to that will know what I'm talking about when I say PMS. Someone I know will understand how I'm feeling when I say, "I doesn't matter." Because every girl knows it does!" Ginny was sobbing now. (Well that's what Hermione thought) "Please tell me you're on my side! I need someone on my side." She sobbed this last part and Hermione looked shocked.
"Ginny!" Hermione cried, "Why didn't you tell me?" she gave Ginny a hug and then left to go tell the boys off.
Once she'd left the room, Ginny smiled, " That was way too easy." She told Cerry, who mewed back at her.

That was how the summer went. Hermione and Ginny were best friends and Ron and Harry were always sulking. When it came time for Ginny to go to King's Cross, only Hermione went and they hugged and cried and went on their way. Little did Hermione know, but Draco and Blaise were there to say good bye to their favorite little Gryfindors. When Hermione went away along with her parents Ginny went over to where Blaise and Draco were saying bye to Kathleen.
"Now, you wouldn't be thinking of not saying good bye to me then eh?" Ginny said sneaking up behind Draco and pinching his butt.
Draco jumped a little and turned to hug her close. Draco had never said it before, but when he hugged her close her whispered something in her ear, "I love you, and I always will."
Ginny's breath caught in her throat, "I love you too Draco."
That was a Ginny needed. Then she boarded the train and waved to him until she couldn't see him. She knew he meant it and she knew that she did too.
