Here's part number 13. I hope you enjoyed it. It was quite fun to write. Just posting quickly before going to see the 4th twilight movie which has had such bad reviews I'm not sure what it will be like. Enjoy, its nice to know each part I post seems to get more people wanting to know when the next one will be posted. Thanks for the reviews, and No Ginny wasn't acting. LOL.

Harry stopped half swearing to himself. "Ahh, sure I'll just grab my dressing gown." He half pointed up the stairs before taking off up to his room still reeling from the intense kiss.

He slipped on his dressing gown, checking that it covered the clearest reaction his body was having to the kiss, shaking his head. Staying in the same house with Ginny was turning out to be eventful that was for sure.

Walking back down the stairs he was pleased Molly had already walked past the landing to his room. He wasn't sure he would ever be able to look at Ginny's mother again without turning scarlet. Reaching the kitchen he saw that Arthur was already busy making some hot chocolate for the both of them.

"Mr Weasley?" Harry asked, feeling a little nervous.

"Ahhh, take a seat Harry." Arthur said, continuing to prepare the hot drinks. "I won't be a moment."

Harry sat down, looking at the table. Still trying to work out what exactly had just happened himself. Can you really kiss like that and remain asleep? He wasn't even sure how he was going to face Ginny in the morning let alone the rest of her family. He shrugged his shoulders thinking at least Ron hadn't bothered getting up to his sisters screaming. If there was one person who hated being reminded there was something more than friendship between his bestfriend and his little sister it was Ron.

It felt like ages before Arthur slipped a mug of Hot Chocolate in front of Harry and sat down himself. "Well?" He started.

Harry glanced up before placing his hands around the hot mug, and looking into it. "I'm not sure I know what happened." He mumbled. "She wasn't waking up I still can't quite believe she didn't."

Arthur cleared his throat. "Yes, I'm not sure I can either." He coughed back. "Harry." He started and stopped again taking a sip from his hot chocolate. "I remember what it is like to be your age and you have been through a huge amount…" There was a pause. "Don't get me wrong boy, Molly and I are very happy that you and Ginny are so…so close."

Harry could feel himself getting more and more uncomfortable. But somewhere deep down there was a voice telling him that it was an honor that Arthur would have this talk with him. Especially when it concerned his daughter, after all there was now no one else now in Harry's life who would take this role. Not that Harry felt he needed the talk at almost 18. So he took the pause in Arthur's speech to try and shorten the conversation.

"I haven't…we haven't." He tried to say half glancing up at Arthur who turned red at his words.

"Of course not my boy…...I wasn't saying that, and Molly I'm sure would know. She's always known when her children…..well let's just say become adults." That was something Harry wasn't sure he wanted to know, the thought of Molly looking at him and Ginny knowingly if they ever….well it was enough to turn Harry the same colour as Arthur.

"What I actually wanted to say…." Arthur started again. "Well we are very aware that Ginny has always admired you, thought herself in love with you. Well…..I just want you to know I don't expect anything of you. You will always be a part of this family no matter what. I know she's having a hard time dealing with thinking you had died for those few minutes. But, well I know you are young, and can…well…...probably have any young witch you wanted." Arthur finished by pushing in front of Harry the issue of witch weekly Harry had seen in Kingsley's office.

Harry grimaced at the photo of him looking lustful and winking. "I swear sir I have never looked at your daughter, or any female that way."

Arthur nodded. "I would imagine you would be a lot more cocky in your whole personality if you did. I know you have grown up with a lot of interest in your life. But I imagine things are only going to get worse now. This magazine that one of the girls left behind outside today just proves it."

"I'm not interested in any other young witch." Harry grumbled. "I just wish the press would leave me alone. I only did what I did to make the world a better place for the people I love. I never really thought I would come out of it alive. But I've known for over the last year that if I did and if she would have me Ginny was the woman I wanted to be with." Harry finished looking up at Arthur Weasley half realizing that this was a conversation he had more imagined having with Ginny's father in a few years. "I think…..I think I want to marry her sir."

Harry watched Arthur as a look of surprise took over his face half shaking his head. "Seems Molly was right you do love her." He sighed. "It's a relief really. No man wants to see his baby girls heartbroken." He paused looking at Harry. "Not many of us fathers want to accept she has found the man that will probably replace you in her heart as the most important man in her life either. Especially when she not even of age yet. Something you'll understand if you have any girls."

Harry nodded. Not sure he really understood. But he knew how Ginny's brothers were protective of her, not that she ever let them be. But those feelings they had for their little sister must be magnified hugely as a father. "I understand Sir, she has school to finish. So do I, probably." Harry sighed. He hadn't thought much about it really. But he knew he was still interested in being an Auror and that meant getting quite a few O's in his NEWTS.

Arthur smiled. "Yes, she does, Molly would be horrified if her only daughter didn't finish school. I think she's still surprised George and Fred managed to do so well with the shop after their grades and not finishing." He paused. "But then I did marry Molly over the summer after she had finished. I had graduated the year before you see."

Harry nodded wondering to himself if he had already known that, and found that it was pretty clear they had started their family young. After all Molly's brothers had been original members of the Order of Phoenix along with his parents. "I think Ginny wants to see if she can play professional Quidditch as well so I imagine she'll make me wait a fare while." He shook his head. Was he really having this conversation with Ginny's father? It wasn't a conversation him and Ginny had even come close to having before.

Arthur nodded his head. "She is a strong minded young woman. Well able to take care of herself. Which is why I didn't need to talk to you about respecting her, I know for sure she can look after herself. I'd probably be more worried about her forcing you into something you weren't ready for."

Harry must have looked shocked at Arthur's comment as Arthur smiled sheepishly at him. "I do know my own daughter. If you even tried to force her you'd be likely to have bat boogies coming out of your nose for the rest of your life."

Harry nodded with a slightly embarrassed smile. "I've spent too much time around her to not know that Sir."

Arthur drunk the last of his Hot Chocolate, and getting up placed the cup in the sink. "Right, now I think it's time for bed, and to hope that you're kissing move on Gin will allow us to sleep through the rest of the night." He headed up the first few steps before turning back to look at Harry. "Oh, and you might want to try and tell Ginny what happened before Charlie or George get hold of her in the morning."

Harry woke in the morning still not sure if he wanted to get up and face all of Ginny's family. He was still feeling very thankful that Arthur hadn't really told him off, or given him the talk he had thought he was in for. But then again he did wonder if the fact Molly could always tell when her children had…..well if Arthur had dropped that communication as a real warning.

Remembering Arthur's parting words though he pulled himself up, and quickly had a shower and dressed planning to wake Ginny up and try and tell her what had happened before she was told by one of her joking brothers. He wasn't sure how he was going to tell her he could still feel his own cheeks burning whenever he thought of it himself. It had been an amazing kiss.

As Harry went to knock on her door, he heard voices speaking softly, and realised he must have been too late. Hermione was already in there. Then the distinct voice of Ginny declaring and sounding slightly shocked. "Mum. I don't want to talk to you about this."

Oh man, Harry thought and had a sudden yearning to run as far away as he could, but remembered there were the young Auror's outside the burrow's wards. Sighing he was tempted to go and lock himself in Percy's room, but then remembered that he had to pick up his stuff from there and move it back up to Ron's room today. Percy and Audrey were coming to stay along with Bill and Fleur again as it was now only two days until Fred's Funeral. Harry sighed realizing there was no way of hiding today he had to attend Colin's service today, well two services. Colin's family was having a slightly magical one at home and another one at the local church for the muggles who had known him. The next day would involve Tonk's and Remus's and Fred's on the last. Then there was the Ministry Memorial at Hogwarts the day after that. He half groaned. Here he was just wanting and wishing the ground would open up and swallow him and he was going to be out in public for the first time since the battle for the next 4 days.

Picking up his stuff from Percy's room he headed up to Ron's room thinking that maybe he could tell Ron what happened in the middle of the night before he heard it from anyone else and he could maybe keep it dampened down so that Ron didn't hear any extra views from his brothers or even maybe Hermione.

Opening the door he had to laugh as Ron was clearly just waking up. "Morning mate. What's the time." Ron grumbled.

Harry glanced at his watch. "Just before nine. Why?"

Ron yawned. "Just wondering, did you sleep in Gin's room again to keep her quiet? I only heard her once."

Harry shook his head. "Nah." Then looked at his feet and shuffling them a little bit. "I kissed her trying to wake her up and she just rolled over and went back to sleep, didn't even open her eyes." He admitted feeling the red creeping back into his cheeks.

"Mate, what have I told you before about not wanting to know what you do with my sister." Ron grumbled throwing a pillow at Harry.

Harry grunted back. "I know but the rest of your family here saw it. You may hear about it a little today. Sorry." Harry sat on the cot and looked back at Ron before looking at the floor. "You Dad had a talk to me afterwards in the Kitchen."

Ron sniggered. "Yeah he had one with me about Hermione the day after the battle. It was a little uncomfortable."

Harry nodded. "It wasn't that bad." He looked at his feet then up at Ron. "Did you know your Mum could tell when…." Looking back at his feet feeling embarrassed again. "That apparently she can tell when her kids have….well…you know."

"Nah, I doubt it." Ron laughed. "I mean how could she tell that? Are you sure you know what you're talking about?"

Harry half shook his head. "Your dad phrased it as she could tell when they had….let's say become adults."

Ron snorted. "You sure he wasn't just trying to tell you to keep your hands off Ginny?"

Harry shook his head. "Nah. As he said if I tried anything she didn't want he would know by the bat boogies coming out my nose for the next month."

Ron shrugged. "I guess that's true." Then shivered. "Makes you wonder though if a mother can tell."

"I might let you put it to the test first." Harry shivered right along with him.

"I've told you not to even mention anything about my baby sister, especially in that way." Ron burst out pretending to gag.

"Oh grow up Ron." Hermione exclaimed from the door way. "I've just had a very disturbing conversation with your mother." She huffed sitting down on the end of Ron's bed then half shivered herself.

Ginny was behind her still standing in the door way looking at Harry, like she wasn't too sure. "Did…." She started. "Please tell me Dad didn't yell at you, or tell you to keep away from me." She sighed at the end of her sentence which had been blurted out, finished with a quick. "I can't believe I attacked you in my sleep." She huffed as she took a seat next to him shaking her head as if she couldn't quite believe it herself.

"What I thought you kissed her and she just stayed asleep?" Ron asked.

Hermione sniggered. "Yeah he did. She just kissed back as if she wanted to eat him."

"In her sleep?"

"Thanks Hermione." Harry mumbled a little frustrated glancing slightly at Ginny. Who he noticed was shooting a dagger like look at Hermione.

"Oh Merlin, and in front of Mum, Dad and Hermione." Ginny half cried placing her head in her hands.

"And Charlie and George." Hermione added still sounding a little too cheerful.

"I don't think your being helpful." Harry told Hermione, placing a hand on Ginny's leg. "It's fine. Your Dad was fine with me. Don't worry about it." He said quietly to Ginny.

"It's payback." Hermione declared. "You didn't just have to sit through a talk on contraceptives from Molly, who clearly didn't know anything as she read it from a book to us, sounding like she was a little surprised at how easy the spells were."

"She didn't." Ron just about exploded. "My…..my mum just…..oh Merlin."
