Ginny's Plan
August 31st, 1997
1:26 p.m.
Ginny felt like someone had hit her in the head one million times without stopping. "Augh. What happened?" She felt someone touch her hand gently.
"Hey, Gin. How do you feel?" It was Harry; Ginny opened her eyes to see him standing over her.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Don't you remember? You and Gabrielle got in a catfight. You beat her up pretty badly." He chuckled. Ginny liked it when they were alone like this. "Is Mum mad at me?" She asked hesitantly.
"No. You see when you lost consciousness that was because Hermione charmed Gabrielle, who in turn hit pushed you to the ground and hit you in the head. Thank God, nothing happened to you, or else I would have… Anyway, your mum doesn't know, she is still at the meeting with your dad. Gabrielle is not going to say anything to any one about your little 'showdown' because Hermione erased her memory up until this morning. She just remembers when she woke up. We told her that she went back to bed and slept all the way till now"
Ginny was looking at him questionably. "Wait, you said that if something had happened to me you would have… what?" He began to blush profusely, he looked away.
"Harry…" Just when she was about to say something, the door opened. Hermione and Ron waked in.
"Thank God nothing happened to you, or else I would have never forgiven my self for that." Hermione said walking up to her and sitting in her bed. Harry awkwardly walked to the chair across the room, a little far from Ginny. Ginny looked at him go, then smiled and looked at Hermione.
"It's ok; you know I should be the one thanking God. If it had not been for you, my mum would have killed me. So she really does not remember anything at all? Not even a little?" She said hesitantly. Ron answered for her.
"No, don't worry. Hermoine, as always, came up to rescue." Hermione looked at Ron and beamed at him for the wonderful accolade. Ron looked at her and smiled sheepishly. Ginny and Harry gave each other a look, then both smiled.
"Anyway, ahem," Ron cleared his throat and recomposing himself, "Mum isn't going to go on a rampage." Ginny gave a relived sigh.
"Why don't you rest, we'll be downstairs. When Mum and Dad get back we're going to celebrate Harry's birthday." Ron said, going out the door. Ginny smiled and everyone else left. Harry was the last to leave.
"See you later." He said gently. Then quietly closed the door.
"Ok, see you later." She said closing her eyes.
Ginny dreamt that Gabrielle was in a big puddle of mud at the wedding and Harry and Ginny were laughing at her. (N/A: I know it sound mean. Nevertheless, who really cares? If you do, sorry.)
Flashback:
In between chapters two and three.
Ginny looked at a catalog. She found a perfect present for Harry. The ad said:

Ginny was holding back her tears of laughter. She could not believe what had happened.
Flashback
Everyone gathered around Harry, who was opening his last present. Gabrielle's present, the one that Charlie had jinxed the day before. Everyone held their breath, everyone that is who was in on the secret.
"Wow, it's huge!" Harry said smiling; he turned to the smiling Gabrielle. She really did not remember the fight between her and Ginny. The big scratches on her face, they told her, were there because she had scratched herself while dreaming a nightmare. She believed every little word.
Harry opened the present and the Hogwarts Castle ran away right before he touched it. Not only that, it squirted him with pumpkin pasty filling. Everyone held their breath.
"What the hell was that!" Charlie said, sounding very surprised, which sounded very convincible.
The twins, Hermione, Ron, and Ginny almost burst out laughing.
"Oh my God! Harry that wasn't me! I didn't do it! I swear!" Gabrielle said horrified, standing up and looking at Harry.
The members of the Order and the teenagers looked at one another.
"This was sobatage! I swear on my name that wasn't me! I swear!" Gabrielle said franticly. Fleur tried to calm her down. "It's ok, maybe the shop had something to do with this! This couldn't be sobatage! Come sweetie, let's go upstairs. Harry knows that wasn't you." Fleur looked at Harry, " Right Harry?" She asked pleadingly.
"Yeah, of course." He said slowly, looking at Ginny. Ginny looked at him innocently.
"Well, the adults will go to the lounge, you stay here or upstairs." Mr. Weasley said trying to change the subject.
"If that's ok with you Harry." He said looking at Harry.
"It's ok. I don't mind." The adults left, the twins rose but their mother stopped them.
"Exactly where are you going? You stay with them. You are not in the Order are you?" She didn't give them a chance to speak. "No you are not, now do as you are told, now." She said firmly, then turned on her heel and left.
The twins looked at each other and flopped on the couch.
"She still sees us as thirteen year-old boys! We're nineteen"
"Ginny, did you have something to do with this… accident?" Harry asked Ginny.
"No, I didn't. Hermione come up with me to my room, I want to talk to you." She turned to Hermione. Then with a fleeting look she said:
"Happy Birthday, Love. See you tomorrow everyone!" Ginny said going up the stairs, leaving a dumbfounded Harry.
