Chapter 3- America?

"No, No and No! Ronald Weasley you have gone mad!'' exclaimed Ginny unsettling her son in the process.

"Ginny! I'm trying to get him off to sleep!'' said Harry in fake annoyance.

Ron had gone to Harry and Ginny's house and told them that he was going to go to America to try and win back Lavender. Harry hadn't said much and seemed ok with the whole idea. But Ginny was a totally different story! She had been cooking Spaghetti Bolognaise and had almost smashed the plate she was holding when she heard.

"Well sorry! But he really has gone mad Harry! Ron, you don't even love her and yet you're prepared to drop everything and chase her all the way to America!''

"Gin, it's not like he's asked us to go with him!'' said Harry trying to keep the peace whilst balancing a wailing Sirius in his arms.

"Um, actually Harry, I was going to ask you...''

Ginny made an angry impatient noise.

"Ronald we are not going all the way to America just so you can live a lie all over again! We have a three month baby and I refuse to get him involved with you and your foolishness!''

"Ginny how is he involved! I just want you and Harry to come and help me out! Look I know it's a lot to ask, but it'll be like a holiday! I can go and grovel whilst you relax on a beach!''

"Oh well that's ok then! Lets go straight away!'' shouted and exasperated Ginny. She was just like Mrs Weasley, never hears the whole story, and just starts shouting at the first opportunity.

Ron sighed heavily. He looked at Harry, hoping that he might say something to convince his sister.

"Ginny, I think it's a good idea! I mean, I'm off work and it would be nice to go away for a bit with Sirius! Who knows, you might even have fun!'' It was as if Harry was a mind reader! Ginny gave him a look as if to say; nice try mate but you'll have to do better then that!

"Oh come on! It's New York! Shopping shopping and more shopping! You could buy some new clothes and spend all my money! Come on Ginny you know it makes sense!''

Harry and Ron carried on like this for just over an hour until Ginny finally gave in.

"OK! If it will shut you both up!''

"Thank you Ginny! You won't regret it!'' said Ron hugging her.

"Why do I get the feeling that I will now you've said that?''

"So, when do we leave?'' asked Harry who had just got Sirius off to sleep.

"Um, weleavetommorow!'' babbled Ron.

"Sorry? What was that?''

Ron took a deep breath.

"Tomorrow. The longer I leave it the worse it will be!''

"Ronald Weasley you are impossible!''

The next morning Harry, Ron, Sirius and a reluctant Ginny, apparated to New York. The checked into a hotel and unpacked.

"So,'' Harry began. "Where are you going to look first?''

Ron hadn't thought about that bit. He just thought he'd bump into Lavender and beg her to take him back! Now that he was actually here though, finding Lavender seemed a more daunting task

"Oh, um, well I thought I'd sort of, ''

"You haven't got a clue have you Ron?'' Harry asked him.

"Not in the slightest!''

"Well how on earth are we going to find her then!''

"Hey! Sirius won't settle here so I'm going to take him out for a bit. We'll be back soon!'' said Ginny giving Harry a kiss.

"Yeah ok, if you see Lavender can you let her know I'm looking for her!'' said Ron.

"Ha ha! Well, have fun looking for her without a plan!'' she said as she put Sirius into his buggy and headed for the door.

"Try not to spend all of my money!''

"Who, me?'' said Ginny innocently and she walked out of the door.

"Well now what? I can't look for Lavender without a clue or hint as to where she might be!''

"Ron, don't you know where her mother lives?''

"I did but then I got drunk and forgot. I think it's somewhere near Central Park.''

"That's your clue then isn't it! We'll go to Central Park and ask around. She can't be far!'' Harry told him.

"Yeah, yeah that's a plan!'' said Ron excitedly jumping up and rushing to the door.

Harry sighed. Ron could be really thick sometimes.
