A/N: I am not blackmailing for reviews. You don't have to review, nor do you have to like the story, but if you don't, constructive critisism would be a lot better (in my perspective) than outright telling me my story is crap. I'd like to make it better. I would really like to improve. Anyway, Here's yet another chapter :)
Chapter 2: Home away from home!
Once Harry had gotten out of the house he could hear his relatives cheering, even aunt petunia who had been quite for the whole day was dancing around the house. "Heya Harry, let me take that from you." Harry heard someone say; when Harry turned around he saw the most beautiful site ever. She was wearing a light blue, breezy, semi-see through dress. Her breasts were twice as large as they had been the last time Harry saw her. Her hair, now a dark brown, was flowing over her shoulders, with a few bits sticking out at odd ends. "Hey Ginny, you look….AMAZING!!" Harry said taking in her appearance bit by bit.
"You don't look that bad yourself, been working out I see!" Ginny said pointing to his working out gear sticking out of the trunk.
"Uhh yea a bit." Harry said ruffling his hair as he always did when embarrassed. "So, are we going or what??"
"Yep! Give your trunk to Ginny, she'll take it to the house for you and we'll meet up there." Hermione said.
After Harry had given Ginny the trunk – She, not being as strong as Harry, dropping it at once- she left with a loud 'POP!' and soon the trio followed suit.
When they arrived at the burrow, Harry still feeling a little squashed from having apparated there was pulled into a tight hug from Mrs. Weasley.
"Oh Harry it's so good to see you. You look so skinny. And look your hair is worse than bill's let me cut it won't you…"
"It's nice to see you to Mrs. Weasley," Harry said pulling out of her grip, "but please, just leave my hair as is, I like it like this and so does everyone else, right guys?"
There was a mumble of yes that went through the room, the loudest one coming from Ginny.
"Come on Harry, let's put your stuff in Ginny's room, I'll help you set up." Ron said.
"Yea alright," Harry said already on his way to the stairs.
"Oh no, you two aren't going anywhere until Harry's eaten something. He's too skinny as is. Now Harry what would you like to eat, soup? Chicken? Steak?" Mrs. Weasley interrupted them.
"Umm… a small soup if I have to. I'm not really that hung…." Harry said, but Mrs. Weasley wasn't paying him the slightest bit of attention since she had just started to make onion soup.
When Harry had finished his soup –this had taken nearly an hour because Mrs. Weasley kept adding more when he wasn't looking- he, Ron and Ginny, who had insisted of coming since it was her room, left to go and unpack all of Harry's belongings.
During the time that Harry and Ron where unpacking, Ginny kept on saying, "don't put that there, it'll block the stereo," or, "Come on, I'm sure you can live without that for a few months, your muscles are good enough as is," and even, "Eww... that's disgusting, get it out of my room!!!"
"Ginny, shut the hell up!" Ron had finally said after snapping from all of the annoying comments Ginny was making, "If you don't like something then get out, cause your really starting to bug me!"
Harry just laughed; he knew that he was an intruder on foreign land. "Guys stop fighting will you; I don't need all of this stuff out. I just need it for when we go back to Hogwarts."
"Wait a minute, did you just say that where going back to Hogwarts. But I thought that last year you said you were never going back????" Ron and Ginny said looking puzzled.
"Yea, I did. But I changed my mind; I'm going to go back… well if it opens that is!" Harry added.
"Dinner time, get your asses down here!!" They heard Mrs. Weasley call.
When they got down stairs they saw a feast awaiting them. "Wow! Two feasts in one day…" Harry thought.
"I'm sorry Harry but we had to move your birthday party forward one day because tomorrow we'll be too busy with the wedding preparations..." Bill said as he walked into the kitchen, "By the way, I like your hairstyle; it reminds makes you remind me of someone but I can't exactly say who."
"He looks like you, you ding bat! It reminds you of the person who looks at you out of the mirror every morning!" Ginny replied.
"Really, I would have never noticed?" Bill said looking puzzled.
"O.K. before you two start arguing can we eat and celebrate??" Mr. Weasley interrupted.
The food was delicious as always, and by the time present opening came, Harry was half asleep from over eating.
"Here you go Harry, I hope you like it!" It was now Ron's go to give Harry his present. It was a brand new cushion for his firebolt.
"Thanks Ron, I love it." Harry answered.
By the end of the night Harry had accumulated a whole lot of items, ranging from clothes to food and back to undies, but Ginny still hadn't given him her present.
"I'm going up to bed," Ginny said jumping out of her seat, "I'll give you your present when you come to bed." Ginny added loud enough for only Harry to hear.
"Yea I agree with Ginny, we got a big day tomorrow so I'm going to bed." Harry said quickly getting up to follow Ginny.
Once Harry got upstairs he found Ginny in her bed fast asleep, but there was a small package at the bottom of the bed. Harry crept to pick it up, so not to wake Ginny. When he opened it he saw a beautiful, white dragon tooth earring with moonstones and ruby's encrusted in it. Under the earring, he found a small card:
Dear Harry,
Happy Birthday, I was hoping that we would be together by now but since we're not I will give you this present hoping that it will help you remember me when we are apart. Please do not be upset, I saved up for this and do not wished to be paid even one quarter of it back, this is a present that shows my love for you, even if you wish not to return it.
A love that shall last till my heart beats no more,
Ginny.
After Harry had read this, he felt tears behind his eyes. "Did she really spend a lot of money on this earring?" He thought. He managed to fall asleep still thinking about how wonderful the gift and the thought had been.
Chapter 3: The wedding!!
The day before the wedding had gone very fast. Harry, Hermione, Ron and the twins had spent a great deal of time trying to de-gnome the backyard so that it would be suitable for the wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley had spent all day getting the food ready and making sure that there was enough for everyone and Fleur and Bill had made all of the last minute decisions, but Ginny was the only one who could not be found for the whole day.
"She's probably just getting stuff ready for the wedding," Mr. Weasley kept on insisting. By the time everything had been finished and all the last minute guests invited and confirmed it was nearly midnight. Everyone had just sat down in the living room when Mrs. Weasley started to shout at them to go to bed.
"Up, Up, Now!" Harry heard coming from down stairs, looking at his watch and wondering why they were being woken up at 6 in the morning, "If you don't get up then the whole day will be ruined!" Just then Harry remembered that it was the day of the wedding, "Ginny, come on, get up, we need to get ready for later." He said, while trying to upturn the mattress to wake Ginny up.
When he had finally managed to do so, Ginny woke with a start. "Hey what was that for?" She exclaimed getting off of the floor and fixing up her Pj's.
"Well Mrs. Sleepy head, you weren't getting up so I had to kick you off the bed!" Harry joked.
"That's it; I'm fed up with this! Get out and stay out. It was a mistake to agree to let you stay in my room during the summer!" Ginny screamed while trying to get Harry and all of his stuff out of the room.
When she had finally managed to do so, she sank into her bed and started to cry. She only stopped for one minute so that she could turn on "Because you live" by Jesse McCartney:
Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a week of call
I've been looking for an answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know.
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky!
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again, because of you made it through in the storm
What is life, what's the use, if you kill inside?
I'm so glad I found an angel,
Some one,
Who was there when all my hopes fell!
I wanna fly again in your eyes
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky!
Because you live, I live,
Because u live, there's a reason why, I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give, what you've given me, always!
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky!
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl, my world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live!
I live!
"Ginny, can I come in?" a voice asked a few minutes later.
"Sure, come on in Hermione." Ginny answered, straightening up and wiping away the tears that were coming down her face like a fountain.
"Gin… are you O.K? Harry said that you kicked him out of your room while on the verge of tears."
"Huh? Oh yeah, that. Listen Hermione, can you tell my mum that I won't be attending the ceremony; I just don't feel up to it right now. I'll come to the reception though; I just need a few hours alone…." Ginny replied.
"Sure, anything else?" Hermione said already getting up to go to the door.
"Yeah, tell Harry that he should come and get his stuff out of here soon!"
