Chapter 38

Flynn?

"Harry?" Ginny asked in shock as she gazed up at him.

Harry just smiled at her and asked "Are you disappointed?"

Ginny was at a loss for words, she had not even expected that Harry would be the one that was under the cloak. "How...I mean…when…why…?"

"Don't forget the 'who and what" Harry said with a smile.

"Oh you know what I mean, so can you just answer the question?" asked Ginny.

Harry just continued to smile "Well to be honest it was just this year that I really began to notice how beautiful you were becoming, and it was when you first met me, or rather "Flynn" that I really fell hard for you." Harry said with a smile "When you were walking down the steps out of the castle the light from inside was shining all around you and well, like I said I fell hard and fast."

"But why the charades, if you wanted to go out with me then why not just ask?"

"Well I was a bit nervous that you would turn me down, and I was hoping that you would catch on, but I guess I covered my tracks too well." answered Harry "For example, tonight at the Dance."

The two of them slid into silence as Ginny took time to sort through all of what she had found out. On the one hand she was thrilled that it was Harry that was under the hood, but at the same time she was mad at him for pulling the wool over her eyes. She was pulled out of her reverie by Harry, who had begun to speak again, "You never answered if you were disappointed that it was me under the hood."

"What, no, I am not disappointed, but you didn't have to go through all of what you did to get my attention." Ginny's replied. Harry smiled and took her hand, which she willingly gave him, and led her over to the long couch.

"I'm glad that you feel that way." Harry said as he draped an arm around her.

Ginny smiled yet again and said "Me too."

Again the too of them fell into the silence around them, just enjoying each others company, and the warmth that each provided. Ginny was still marveling at the fact that he had done such a good job of covering his tracks, especially at the dance tonight. She stopped in her thoughts and began to try and figure out how he had done that. He may be Harry Potter but not even he can be in two places at once.

"How did you do it tonight Harry; be in two places at once?" Ginny asked as she made to sit up.

"Harry laughed and said "I had some help from some friends."

"Was it Ron and Hermione?" Ginny asked but as soon as she had said what she did another thought stuck her like a load of bricks "Ron knew; he knew it was you the entire time."

"Believe me though it took some convincing to get him to go through with this, as did with the rest of your family." Harry said with a knowing smile.

"My Mother knew and she didn't tell me!" Ginny exclaimed and was about to continue but Harry had beaten her to the punch.

"Actually, as of right now your mom still has no idea and neither does Hermione."

"You mean all of my brothers went along with this?" Ginny asked in shock "Including my dad?"

"Yea, I thought I was going to have to jump off the edge of the earth to get them all in on it, but they told me that if you were going to be with anyone that they would want it to be me."

Ginny was shocked; she would have thought that her brothers would give him some heck about it. "Even Fred and George were okay with it?" she asked.

"Oh yea, in fact they were over the moon about it. They said something about the ultimate prank and if I needed anything, anything at all; that I just needed to ask." Harry said with a smile "Something which I took full advantage of."

"What did you ask them to do?"

"If you think real hard about it then you will have your answer." Harry replied.

Ginny thought about it for a moment and when she had her answer she gave a loud laugh and said "Which one was it then."

"It was George; Fred said that had he been the one to play Harry, then you would know it was him." Harry explained.

"He was right; he has no idea how to dance." Ginny said as she put her head on Harry's shoulder.

"Gin, can I ask you a question?"

"Yes." Ginny answered.

"Well I was wondering if you would do me the honor of becoming my girlfriend." Harry asked.

"I would love to Harry." Ginny answered "But let's get one thing clear."

"And what's that?"

"I will say it once, it was a good one, but if ever try to prank me again you will be sorry." Ginny said in a half serious voice.

Harry nodded in understanding and then sat up on the couch without warning "Oh hey I just remembered that I have someone I want you to meet." And after giving a brief whistle there was a flash of white fire, "Ginny, I want you to meet Flynn, my phoenix."

"Flynn?" Ginny asked in confusion.

"Well I needed to come up with a fake name while pursuing you, so Flynn here" Harry said as he gestured to the Phoenix "let me borrow his name, saying that anything I was liable to come up with would be inadequate, that I should be thankful that his name was the best out there."

"And you should be, cause he is a beautiful Phoenix, aren't you." Ginny said as she began to rub the ruffle of feathers on the phoenix's head. The phoenix in question turned and gave Harry a look that said 'I told you so'. Flynn then turned his head back to face Ginny so that she could scratch his head some more.

"Ungrateful bird." Harry muttered. Flynn had apparently heard this and turned back to Harry and gave an almighty "Squawk". "Yea, well maybe I will." Harry replied.

Ginny just looked at Harry, "You can understand him?" she asked.

"Yea I can, but sometimes it really gets annoying." Harry answered.

"What did he say?" an intrigued Ginny asked.

"He said that if I am going to call him names, then I can go back to my other white, beaked friend." Harry said.

"And that would be?"

"He means Hedwig; goodness knows that she is better company." He said as he glared at the phoenix. Giving off several squawks, Flynn took to the air and then proceeded to dive-bomb at Harry before promptly 'flashing' away.

"Harry, don't torment Flynn like that." Ginny said "He may not come back."

Harry just shook his head, laughed and said "This is a sort of game, we do it all the time; try to get one up on the other. Whoever loses will go off and sulk and then comes back ready to start a new round. Neither of us would abandon the other, we are too close."

"Kind of like you, Ron and Hermione." Ginny said, though as soon as she did she jumped up off the couch and just stared at Harry with wide eyes.

Startled by her sudden movement Harry too stood and asked "What is it Gin?"

"Ron and Hermione," She began "They have got to be worried about me. The last they saw I was walking out with Fly…I mean…you. And when they notice that I haven't come back they are bound to get worried."

Harry did not know what else to do, so he started to laugh. "Ginny," He said as he walked closer to her "Just think about it for a moment, who else was in on the Flynn thing that was at the dance tonight?"

"Well Ron was, but…"

"He knows what he is supposed to do, so don't worry." Harry said as he cut her off. There was no need for her to worry needlessly, not when Harry had it all planned out.

"Are you sure Harry? This is Ron we are talking about." Ginny said as she went to hug Harry.

"I think that you underestimate what Ron can do when he sets his mind to it," He paused to look at Ginny and seeing her still questioning gaze he continued "If Hermione begins to worry, Ron is supposed to try and distract her. But if she becomes too much then he is supposed to…"

A voice yelled cutting Harry off "Ronald Weasley you will let go of me or I will hex you into oblivion."

"Bring her here." Harry Finished.

Ginny smiled at the timing of Harry and her brother, 'They must really have planned for everything' Ginny thought to herself as she broke the embrace with Harry and ran to meet her bushy haired friend. "Hermione," she called out when she was almost there "I'm right here."

At hearing her voice call out her name she turned to find out who it had been. When she saw Ginny running towards her a look of relief flashed onto her face. "Oh Ginny I was so worried when you and Flynn didn't come back," Hermione said as she took Ginny into a big hug "Where is he anyway?"

"I'm right here, it is good to finally meet you Hermione; Ginny has told me so much about you." Harry said jokingly as he walked over to them.

"You're Flynn, Harry?" Hermione asked in exasperation but then rounded on Ron "You knew and you didn't tell me."

"Well I had promised Harry I wouldn't, and besides, it was pretty obvious."

"Well not to me." Hermione said dejectedly.

"I did cover my tracks well Hermione." Harry said giving Ginny a wink.

Hermione nodded slightly with her head down, though in an instant it shot back up with a look of confusion "Then who was with us at the table when "Flynn" came and asked Ginny for a dance?" She asked.

"It was George." Ginny answered with a smile.

"George knew before I did?" a shocked Hermione asked.

"The only person who did not know about it was my mom." Ginny replied.

"When did you decide to use George then?" Ron asked as he turned to Harry.

"Well it was really last minute and he said he would be more than happy to play me for an hour or two." Harry told Ron.

Hermione then interrupted them with a thought that made Ron pale considerably, "I think that it was great what you did Harry and I for one am glad that I don't have to answer to Mrs. Weasley about why she was not let in on this little adventure."

Harry, Ginny and Hermione laughed at the face Ron was now making "Oh can it will you." Ron said with a half smile "At least I don't have to be worried about mum smothering me with plans for the marriage."

This made Harry stop laughing and make a face that made Ginny ask "I'm hurt that you find the thought of marrying me revolting." This caused everyone to laugh harder.

"I would never think that about you Gin, I'm just not sure if I want to deal with your mom when she is going wedding nuts." Harry said with a smile.

"I'm just giving you a hard time." Ginny replied as she grabbed Harry around the waist and pulled him into a hug that could rival that of her mothers.

"I don't mean to break up this wonderful display of affection, but I was hoping that you could tell us where we are Harry." Ron said.

"You mean you haven't been here?" Hermione questioned as she began to walk down the long hall.

"No," Ron said as he followed after her "Harry just told me what I needed to do to get you here; I am just as in the dark as you are."

"Right, sorry," Harry began "I call this place 'Sanctuary', or the 'Sanctum"

"Okay I get that, but where exactly, as in location, am I?" Hermione said as she came to stand in the open area with the couches, chairs and fireplace.

Harry smiled "I think that you would be surprised to know that you are all standing, what used to be, the Chamber of Secrets."

A/N: Okay so another cliffie chapter. Sorry. But no fear, the next one will be up soon enough. As soon as I get Microsoft word back on my computer that is. Anyway, you now know that Flynn is indeed Harry (sorry to those who did want that to happen.), and that the Sanctuary is the Chamber of Secrets. But do not worry, there is a lot more to come. Trust me. So if you could be so kind as to review now.

Thank you,
