The Untold Story Of Harry and Ginny

Part 12

***

The four figures in the bright sky flew into Diagon Alley. Hermione was waiting for them in front of Florish and Blotts. Harry, Ron, Ginny and George landed in front of her. She smiled sheepishly as George swung the hair out of his eyes and smiled at her. Thankfully, Ron didn't exactly seem to care. He was over her and she was over him. But it was kind of weird that she moved onto his brother… Anyways, Ron did apologize for being so nasty to Hermione and she apologized to him. They were all good now.

"So, where to?" Ginny asked as they walked up to Hermione.

"Anywhere that doesn't serve broccoli at this time of day," Harry answered. They walked up the streets of Diagon Alley and walked into the Three Broomsticks. Harry walked up to the long table and ordered five butterbeers. The man behind the table looked surprised but then a little understanding.

"Yeah, still not over that big fight with he who must not be named huh, Potter?" he said. Harry looked up at him.

"Oh, no, I mean yes. Yes I am over it or at least getting over it," said Harry, "but these are for my friends." The man behind the table understood now. He pored butterbeer into five cups.

"Um, Harry?" Ginny said from behind him. Harry turned to look at her.

"I want to go to the book store to try to find a book or two, so I'll be back soon," Ginny said. Harry nodded.

"I'll go with her," George offered.

"Okay," responded Harry and he turned back to the five butterbeers. The man had finished poring them.

"There you are Mr. Potter," he said. Harry thanked him and levitated the beers back to where Ron and Hermione were sitting. He followed the floating cups.

Harry set them down and he set himself down in the chair across from Ron and sat next to Hermione.

"Thank you Harry," she said and took a sip. Ron did the same. Harry was glad that Ron and Hermione were friends again. So what if they didn't date? This is the way they had been for the first five to six years they'd known each other.

"To us," Ron said and raised his glass.

"To us, and to victory. Without it we would be here right now," Hermione added. Harry looked at her and smiled.

"To us," Harry repeated and raised his glass. They all clunked their glasses together and took another sip in unison. The door to the Three Broomsticks swung open again. Harry looked it's way, expecting it to be Ginny and George, but it was someone else. Parvati Patil was in the doorway. Hermione and Ron saw Harry looking away so they looked in the same direction.

"Parvati Patil?" Hermione whispered. They hadn't seen Parvati in what felt like years but it was really only a few months. Parvati walked in looking rather solemn, by herself. Harry remembered her being with Lavender or her twin sister Padma almost all the time. He wondered what happened. Ron remembered his forth year at Hogwarts with the two Patil twins. What a night.

"I wonder what's wrong," Ron whispered. He never realized how pretty she was.

"Yeah," Hermione agreed, not thinking that it was weird that Ron was showing some sensitivity towards others. Parvati walked up to the bar and got a butterbeer for herself. Then when she turned around she saw Harry, Ron and Hermione looking at her. She stopped where she was. Hermione smiled at her and Harry motioned her to come sit. Ron just stared…awkward. Parvati smiled faintly but headed for the door. Then, Ron got up and beat her there. Hermione almost laughed.

"What's wrong Parvati?" he asked her. She looked at him.

"Like you care," she muttered.

"I do. It bugs me to see you like this," Ron said. Harry slapped his hand to his forehead.

"Why?" Parvati wondered. Ron didn't answer right away.

"Just come sit down," he insisted. Parvati sighed and walked over to his table. Ron followed her. She clumped down on a chair and Ron sat down next to her.

"Hey Parvati," Hermione greeted kindly. She smiled at Hermione.

"Hi Hermione. Hello Harry," she said.

"Hello Parvati," Harry said and smiled.

"So…what's going on now that you're out of Hogwarts?" Hermione asked and took another sip of her beer.

"Well…my sister just moved away, and I've been really…bored and…lonely," Parvati explained.

"Oh," Ron said and nodded slowly. Partvarti looked at him and smiled thankfully, like he really felt sorry for her, to loose a brother or sister.

"I'm sorry Parvati," said Hermione, "we're all sorry." Parvati sighed.

"Thanks," she thanked and stood up. "Well, I guess I should be going."

"Where to?" Ron asked and stood up after her.

"I guess just to walk around a bit," she answered.

"Don't mind if I tag along?" he asked. Harry and Hermione stared up at them. Parvati smiled a small smile.

"No, not at all," she decided. It was nice to have someone with her.

"We'll see you later then," said Harry. Hermione laughed once.

"You too. Tell mum I'll be back at the burrow later tonight or whenever. I'll send her an owl," Ron said. Hermione and Harry nodded.

"Bye," Harry said. Ron waved and then looked at Parvati. She smiled up at them and the two walked out of the shop as Ginny and George walked in. Ginny raised her eyes and pointed to Ron and Parvati as they walked away. Harry shrugged. Ginny and George walked over to the table. Ginny sat down next to Harry and George next to Hermione. Hermione smiled at him and he smiled back. The same happened with Ginny and Harry.

Ginny picked up her butterbeer and took a long gulp.

"So, did you ever find that book you were looking for?" Harry wondered as Ginny swallowed her beer.

"Books you mean," she corrected. "And no I didn't find them."

"Well what were you looking for?" Hermione asked.

"A book on healing and on quidditch," Ginny answered.

"I'm sure I can help," Hermione offered. Harry chuckled.

"Yeah. If you want help looking for a book turn to Hermione," Harry laughed. George laughed silently.

"So, why do you want a book on healing Gin?" George asked, "I mean, I can understand quidditch but healing…"

"I want to decide whether to be a quidditch player or a healer as my profession," Ginny explained. Harry nodded approvingly.

"Both good choices…" he said. Ginny looked at him and smiled.

"Thanks," she said.

"What about you Hermione? What are you going to choose?" George asked. She looked at him and shrugged.

"Being a healer sounds pretty cool…maybe I'll work in the Ministry. I don't know. It's between those two," she answered and took another sip of her beer.

"We didn't exactly have any breakfast…" Harry noticed. George, Hermione and Ginny looked at him.

"Yeah…" Ginny said and sighed, "I guess we could go home and make ourselves something…"

"Okay," Hermione agreed. The four all stood up and walked out of the pub. Harry left a few galleons on the table. Then, they flew up into the sky, leaving Hermione to apparate away, now waiting for them to get home.

***

George, Ginny, and Harry finally got home and put their brooms in the shed. They smelled something good from inside.

"Ooh! Did dad finally make a decent breakfast!" Ginny asked and sniffed again.

"Please Ginny," George said, "you know dad can't make anything better than broccoli." George walked up and into the house followed by Harry and Ginny.

"Oi!" George called and Hermione giggled when Ginny and Harry were still outside. This caused them to run into the house. When they got there they both gasped. Hermione had set out a whole table of eggs, bacon, and waffles.

"Hermione…you did this?" Harry asked and walked slowly into the kitchen, itching a smile.

"No the lama," George said sarcastically. Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Molly (since she appeared to be in the kitchen) looked towards him.

"We have a lama-" Molly started.

"No we don't have a lama!" George interrupted. Hermione laughed once and cleared her throat.

"As the matter of fact, I did," Hermione answered. Harry laughed and took a seat by George who was already sitting down. Ginny sat down by him. Then, Hermione took off her apron and joined them, along with Mrs. Weasley. As it turns out, Mr. Weasley had eaten a lot of the broccoli so he didn't have breakfast with them. They five of them then began to eat. While they were in about half way, Mrs. Weasley noticed something.

"Where's Ron?" she wondered. Harry finished chewing and answered her.

"He went with Parvati around Diagon Alley. He'll send you an owl when he'll get back," Harry said.

"Which should be now," George said looking out of the doorway. He saw Ron and Parvati walking, laughing, holding hands, coming towards the house. Harry, Hermione, Molly and Ginny all looked where George was. Hermione and Harry laughed. Ginny just made a gagging motion which her mother disapproved of. Ron and Parvati reached the door to the Burrow.

"Sorry I didn't send an owl…" Ron apologized when he and Parvati were in the house. "I got…sidetracked." He smiled down at Parvati who looked away sheepishly. Ginny scowled.

"What took you guys so long?" Hermione wondered. Ron looked at her.

"I told you. I got…sidetracked," Ron answered again.

"How did you guys get together in that short amount of time?" George wondered.

"Yeah, I didn't know you two were going out!" Molly added.

"I just started going out with her today mum!" Ron clarified.

"And we talked a little bit. Then I realized how great he was," Parvati added. Ron's ears got a little red.

"How long did it take you to realize that?" George teased.

"George!" Molly mumbled. Ron gave George a warning look which George ignored.

"Well, hello Parvati dear. This is our home-" Molly started.

"No it's the lama's home," George interrupted. Hermione laughed once.

"What's with you and lama-" Mrs. Weasley started.

"Forget it!" George exclaimed, interrupting his mum again, stalking up the stairs to his room with Hermione following him.

"Well, I think I'm good," Harry sighed and stood up. Ginny imitated him.

"We'll just...go then," Ginny said and gestured for Harry to follow her upstairs he did. They both went up the steps to her room leaving Mrs. Weasley, Ron and Parvati down in the kitchen.

Another two months passed and it was one day before Ginny's first day of school at Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny could not-would not- be separated for that long. They both wouldn't be able to stand it. So, since Harry's classes didn't start for another week, he went to Hogwarts with Ginny. Professor McGonagall said that he could even teach if he wanted to. He agreed and was now teaching defense against the darks arts for a week to third, fourth, fifth and sixth years. But Harry still didn't want to be away from Ginny for a long time. He and her were growing farther apart as their trip to Hogwarts came closer and closer. Harry saw it and felt it happening. He was determined to not let that happen. He promised himself that he and Ginny would not grow apart.
