As Harry set off for the burrow he had a strange feeling in his stomach, thinking “Come on, ask her out again… How could she say no after this long?” Although the fact that Ginny had successfully not spoken to him since when he was telling her to get out of the room of requirement, hadn’t helped anything at all.
Ron and Hermione were surprised that Ginny was so unforgiving right then, even if she didn’t want Cho to go and show Harry what the Horcrux looked like. That was all he had to lead off of, besides the fact that she obviously still liked him.
He apparated to the burrow, and the first thing he saw was Ginny’s beautiful smile, but it wasn’t aimed towards him, she was holding a little blonde baby in her hands, Fleur watching her closely so that she wouldn’t drop her. “’Arry!” Fleur squeaked, running to him, with her arms open.
“Erm- Hi, what are you doing here?”
“Bill and I were showing everyone ze new baby!” she said excitedly and hugged him again
“Oh, congratulations”
She led him over to where Ginny was holding the tiny baby, Harry had pictured this before, only it wasn’t Fleur or Bill’s baby, it would be his and Ginny’s.
“Thanks for letting me hold her Fleur but I really have to be going now before it gets dark, it takes a while to get to the village”
Ginny handed off the baby and looked at Harry, not avoiding him, just giving him a grin. He fallowed quickly after her “Ginny, I was wondering if we could talk about something…”
“I really don’t have time right now Harry, but I’ll be back before dark and we can talk then” her smile showing, as Harry melted, even though after all it was… just a smile
“Oh, okay”
She set off skipping in a yellow sundress that undoubting Luna had made just for Ginny and it would annoy Mrs. Weasley so much that Ginny couldn’t refuse to wear it as much as she could. Even though the dress didn’t seem to look like what Luna would have normally made… no Ginny couldn’t be wearing a dress that she had picked out….
“Harry!” Hermione screamed, running through the door to hug him, then quickly letting go “It’s been too long since everyone’s seen you!”
“Yeah, it has” he was just now seeing Ron come through the door over Hermione’s head, he gave a nod
“So what have you been up to?” her expression was nothing but happiness, but then Harry noticed something on Ron’s face, lipstick
“I’ve been working…. And I see that you’ve been snogging Ron” Her skin blushed a little, and so did Ron’s, as he wiped off the lipstick on his face
“Yes,” She said guiltily “but what else besides work? I mean I can imagine that with all of the daily prophet reports that you’ve been wanting to come out of your house but they’ve been making it a little hard”
“Just a little hard”
“Hey speaking of snogging, where’d Ginny go?” Ron asked, a little grin planted onto his face
“She went to the village for something” Harry said, not fully understanding what Ron meant by that joke
“Oh, she goes there all the time now, bringing back new muggle stuff for dad all the time, he loves it. So do you want to stay over Harry, I don’t think mum will mind, because Hermione’s parents are letting her stay in Ginny’s room with her. Its not like mum hates you or anything” Ron had something about him that was unfamiliar to Harry because his voice seemed to change a little when talking about Ginny and the village
“I don’t want to intrude on anything-”
“Oh nonsense, that’s just silly Harry” Hermione said, showing him into the house
The burrow looked somewhat crowded but, that was always the way that it looked “Harry!” Mrs. Weasley came up to him and hugged him, when she backed up she was sporting a new apron, and she said proudly “George and Ron got it for me”
“We were tired of the lace, it got all over” George said coming over and patting Harry on the back, “Good to have you back”
“The holeyest of holey speaking” Ron muttered laughing
“Where’d Ginny go?” George asked Ron, setting another place at the table
“The village again,” Ron said vaguely
“Probably to pick something else up for dad” George nodded, but something was weird about how George had said it too
“Is she going to the village again? But she won’t be home in time for supper,” Mrs. Weasley sighed, taking Ginny’s plate back into the kitchen, when she came back out she said “I don’t know what’s gotten into that girl, wanting to always go to the village now instead of actually spending time with the family like she always used to”
“But we tortured her, teased her, even set her pillow on fire once… Didn’t help that Ron said ‘what if you actually had your head on it… then that would be cool!’ She cried for hours after her ‘near death experience’ even though she wasn’t even in the ruddy room when we set her pillow on fire” George muttered
“Why do you always have to bring that up?” Ron said, moving to the living room, as George, Harry, and Hermione fallowed.
The topics consisted of the joke shop, old stories, but mostly about the old stories. “I just found something on all our brooms Ron, well, noticed. Besides your new broom, have you ever noticed anything about our brooms before?” George asked
“Er- No I haven’t, why?”
“Because your old broom, and everyone else’s brooms have the name Ginny engraved in them, only with pink crayon that won’t come off of them” George laughed
“You’re joking” Ron said annoyed
“I wish I was, and there are tally marks on ours, I think they mean how well they worked for her but when Charlie left she just used his all the time” George said in Hermione’s as-a-matter-of-fact way

Dinner was delicious as always, but something was missing through the whole meal… Ginny. It was getting dark by now, Mrs. Weasley was looking out the window “She’s never been this late before Arthur; she was supposed to be home an hour ago”
“Maybe she took the longer way Molly, you know Ginny, she probably just wants to see all the trees and maybe she’s painting them or something, you know her. She’s all artsy now” Mr. Weasley said simply, moving over to the couch. Mrs. Weasley’s clock chimed 10 o clock, as she let out a moan.
“Hermione, you can go to sleep, you don’t have to wait up for Ginny” Ron said, seeing her yawn widely, barely able to keep her eyes open.
“Oh, okay, I will, she won’t wake me up anyways, not if I’m this tired” Hermione said, kissing Ron on the forehead, and going up to Ginny’s room on the first floor
“Lets go Harry” Ron said after three games of wizards chess “I’m tired from beating you” he laughed
“Okay” Harry agreed, but wondered what was taking Ginny so long… It was nearly ten thirty now, her mother was watching out the window for her, worrying terribly much.
“I don’t know what’s gotten into Gin lately, she’s been quiet, and shutting herself in that room of hers all the time, just like Percy from before” Ron said as they passed the room in which Hermione was “sleeping” in
“It’s a shame that Bill and Fleur had to leave so quickly though” Ron said as they passed Percy’s room
“Yeah, shame” Harry replied
The two boys went in silence, as they went into Ron’s room which was now covered in Chudley Cannons everything.

Ginny slowly turned the knob on the door, making sure she didn’t make any noise at all, because for sure she would be caught. She entered the room without a sound, as the light turned brightly on, Mrs. Weasley stood by the light switch, with a livid expression.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?” her shrill voice echoed
“I-I was… um…” she fidgeted nervously, twirling her foot on the floor
“You were UM?” Mrs. Weasley was as red as her hair, Ginny thought that you might almost send smoke signals out of her ears by how mad Mrs. Weasley was “You are four hours late getting home! You could have died in that time! Your lack of responsibility surprises me Ginerva Molly Weasley!”
Ginny just lowered her head, not speaking. “I want to know exactly where you were right now Ginerva, and do not lie to me or I will know and you will be in more trouble than ever before!”
Her head was lowered, and she mumbled something under her breath. “What?” Mrs. Weasley asked
“I was- er- out with a friend” Ginny said honestly
“Who may this person be?”
“Uh…. um… his name is Scott” her head hanging low, not even thinking about looking her mother in the eyes
“And why were you with this boy until 11:30?”
“Erm…… He, wanted to show me something” Ginny couldn’t have been more embarrassed in her life because she knew that everyone in the house was listening intently, even Percy
“Wanted to show you what, exactly?!” Mrs. Weasley demanded
“His… erm, the way that the stars glow in the night, since apparently my eyes weren’t twinkling with the stars which meant that I wasn’t staring at them enough in the night” she said weakly
“You can see stars anytime at home! You don’t need a boy to go and show you!” Mrs. Weasley shouted
Ginny didn’t want to say anything more, but Mrs. Weasley asked “Ginerva, do you like this boy?”
Her face drained a little bit of color, as she kept on looking down, “Well, do you?” Mrs. Weasley demanded
She kept looking at the ground, not daring to look up. “I don’t think that’s any of your business” she said faintly
Mrs. Weasley had a look of astound on her face, “Ginerva Molly Weasley, when you come home at 1:00 in the morning I think I have every right to know everything about what this person is and if you like him or not now tell me!”
“Who I fancy or don’t fancy is none of your business” Ginny said flatly
“Maybe if we put soap on that tongue you’ll learn to respect me a little more and you will tell me if you do or not because obviously your attitude has been decreasing in proper manners and you have forgotten everything your father and I have taught you”
Mrs. Weasley took another look at her daughter, who had a dress on, and was meeting a boy in the middle of the night, “I guess the soap can wait until the morning but you will be waking up early for your actions young lady” Mrs. Weasley scolded
“Yes mum” she muttered and climbed up the steps
“Just like her mother she is” Mr. Weasley said from the living room chair, shaking his head

Ron and Harry lifted their heads from the door, pulling the extendable ear back and sat in the complete silence.
“I thought that the village was a muggle village” Harry said after a minute or two
“It is” Ron said simply
Oooooo, go look at the next chapter to see what happens!
