Disclaimer: I Don't own any characters of this story. My muse suddenly decided to kick in while I was reading one of the books on fanfiction. I don't claim rights on any settings or characters.

It has been four weeks since the end of term feast. Harry had recieved only one letter from each Ron and Hermione saying that they would see him soon. Harry wondered how soon was soon. Harry had been heartsick worrying about Ginny. He knew she was the one he wanted but he didn't want her to be in danger since she had almost died just because she was his best-friends little sister. He knew that after Voldemort was defeated he and Ginny could build a family. As his mind drifted to Ginny and what their kids would look like, he was interupted by a knock on his door. Being a little annoyed he growled, "Come in." The only thing he saw after that was brown hair.

"Hi Hermione!" He said laughing. "Ron, hey mate!"

"Hi Harry!" Ron said, "Are you feeling all right?" His best friend was looking pale and the fact that they just showed up also gave him a look of shock. Pretty soon a smile crossed his face and he looked so happy.

"How did you get here?" Harry asked, puzzled

"We used the floo network to get to Mrs. Figgs place." Ron explained, "We didn't think you should be alone!" Although the truth was that Ginny was sick and wouldn't talk to anyone about it, so they wanted to see if Harry was having the same problems. They found out the sad truth that Harry and Ginny looked alike- pale and lovesick.

Harry noticed the sad looks that Ron and Hermione exchanged so he said,"How about we start our research? I've got the books that Remus gave me." They had been researching for a few hours when all of a sudden Ron yelled in his low voice, "I've found it!"

"Where?" Hermione asked excitedly and grabbed the book from him. "It says here that Ravenclaw owned a house-elf! But he also owned a mirror and..." She stopped after she saw Harry and Ron's faces. "What?" she asked.

"It's the house-elf," Harry replied, "Dumbledore told me before- you know- that Ravenclaw treated his house-elf with respect, like family, never hostile. Kinda like you Hermione!"

"So it would be that house-elves great-great-great-great- grandson!" exclaimed Ron, "Harry, I was with you when Dumbledore told you about that. He said that the Horxrux of Ravenclaws would be in He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named father's house. I think that's where we need to go!"

"Ron, your bloody brilliant!" Both Harry and Hermione said together.

"Then it hit Harry, "Voldemort would have tons of Death-Eaters surrounding the place, I should go by myself, I don't want you guy's hurt!"

"No!" They shouted,"It would be to dangerous."

"Fine, just don't tell Ginny, I don't want her to worry." aid Harry, "It would make her worry and try to come with us. I don't want her to get hurt!" They saw their friend's face turn from serious to worried to lovesick. Harry saw the sad look that Ron and Hermione's faces again so he put on a cheeky grin and said."Don't worry Ron. After this Horxrux is destroyed, you only have to wait four more until you have a new brother!"

So Ron asked, "Are you that serious about her? If you are we have something to tell you." Harry was hopping that this wouldn't happen but by the looks on Ron and Hermione's faces, it wasn't good news.

"What?" He asked.

So Ron and Hermione started their sad story,"When we first got back to the Burrow she ran to her room and slammed her door, so I went up and she was crying her heart out. She wouldn't talk to me so I just let her cry her greif out." Started Hermione.

Then Ron continued the story, "She wouldn't come down for supper so I took her up a plate and after supper it was outside her door with only the green beans gone. We thought it was probably because of your eyes."

At this point Harry's heart was aching for her. "I don't want to hear anymore!" He shouted. His friends could see that he was greiving.

"Harry, there's one last thing we think you should know." Began Ron.

"She's been losing wieght since she hasn't been eating." Finished Hermione.

"I'm allowed to leave here after noon tomorrow, take my apparation test, then go to Grimauld Place to start fixing up."

"You're going to have to come to the Burrow at one point mate," said Ron, "Bill and Fleurs wedding is next week, two weeks before the full moon."

"How did Bill do on his first full moon?" Asked Harry.

"He did farely well... He still had a werewolf persinality that's for sure! Yet he only did half the transformation that Lupin usually does." Replied Ron.

"How about we go to a movie?" Suggested Hermione, "We have a bit of leftover time."

"A what?" Ron asked, puzzled.

"Oh ya! You wouldn't know." Said Harry, "It's kind of like a wizard picture, but it's based on a story and lasts about an hour and a half."

"What's playing today Harry?" Asked Hermione

"I don't know but lucky for us, when you guys showed up the Dursley's left!" Exclaimed Harry. So he went to Uncle Vernon's chair, picked up the paper and said, "There's an Action/Adventure movie and a Romance movie playing in the local theater. Which one should we see?" So they decided on the Action/Adventure movie. It was about two cousins and a boat captain get stranded on a deserted island.

Ron got a pop and a large popcorn and he said,"This pop-stuff tickles your nose!" Harry and Hermione laughed and were delighted to see Ron get so excited over pop.

!#$&(--)+

They walked back after the movie laughing and talking about the movie. But when they reached Private Drive harry started to drop behind and when his friends turned to look at him they saw the sad look back in his eyes and wondered if their snogging had brought back the memories of Ginny.

"What's wrong mate?" Asked Ron.

"We're back at Mrs. Figg's. You guys have to go." He said simply.

Ron and Hermione felt bad for him so Ron said,"Hey, I'll see you tomorrow at the Ministry!"

"Ministry?" Asked Harry, "Oh, ya! Apparation tests! See ya there mate!"

"Bye Harry!" Hermione said after she kissed him on the cheek. As Harry fell to sleep that ight he dreamed about what Ginny would look like when she saw him.

!#$&(--)+

When Harry woke up it hit him that he was leaving the Dursley's today! He got up and dressed in his best pair of hand me downs he was going to see Ginny! As he went down to make breakfast he was whistling when Dudley looked out of his bedroom and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

"I'm leaving this dump today!" He shouted which made Uncle Vernon yell, "Get your ass down here, boy!" So Harry ran down the stairs and made one last meal for the Dursley's. After 11:00 that morning Harry sent out the signal for the Night Bus. He was dissapointed to see a young man of 22 by the name of Jake Watson in Stan Shunpike's old job. They were still holding him in Azkaban.

"Were you off to?" Asked Jake.

"The Ministry of Magic." replied Harry. He was happy to see that besides Jake, not much else had changed. Pretty soon Harry was stepping of the bus and he got into the old phone booth. He picked up the phone and dialed the number 2-2-4-2-2.

Then a cool female voice said, "Please state your name and your business."

"Harry Potter, Apparation Test." Harry replied. As soon as he heard the clinking of chains, he knew he had to put on the badge and just wait.

Soon after disapearing under the ground the female voice said, " Ministry for Magic. Please get your wand checked at the security desk. Thank you for visiting."

So Harry went to the desk but when the security gaurd saw his badge he asked, "The Harry Potter?"

"Yes," said Harry getting annoyed, "Can I go know?"

"Yes, of course!" The security guard said. Harry went to the second floor to the testing center.

He saw bright red hair and said, "Hey Ron!" But Ron wasn't alone. He had brought Hermione and they were busy snogging. "I thought you guy's didn't like to be seen snogging in public." He grumbled. He sat there for a full fifteen minutes after saying he had made it before they noticed him.

"Hey mate! When did you get here?" Asked Ron.

"About twenty minutes ago!" He exclaimed.

"Sorry about that Harry!" Hermione said, "I came to support Ron and you!"

"How's Ginny?" Harry asked.

"She didn't eat much again last night," explained Hermione.

"I feel like it's my fault," Harry said sadly, "I just wanted to make sure she didn't get hurt but I'm the one who did the hurting!" He quickly turned away so they wouldn't see his unshed tears. Ron and Hermione were lost for words. They hated seeing him like this. Harry's apparation test was schedualed fifteen minutes before Ron's. To his surprise Proffesor Tofty was his instructor.

"O.K. Just remember Destination, Determination, Deliberation. Now I'd like you to apparate from here to the other end of this hallway please." Proffeser Tofy explained. Harry concentrated, spun on the spot, and the next thing he knew he was at the other side of the hallway.

"Wow, I did it!" He shouted while pumping his fist in the air. Then he started to laugh when he saw the look on Tofty's face. "What?"

"You don't make a sound!" Tofty said, "You did great lad!" (He had just finished checking that he didn't leave anything behind.) "Now just take this pin, you'll need it in case you end up somewhere besides where we want to go. Now focus on going to Diagon Ally- right outside of Mr. Ollivander's old shop. I'll be waiting." And with that said Proffeser Tofty apparated there. Harry double checked the pin, then thought Mr. Ollivander's old shop in Diagon Ally, then spun on the spot to find his feet two inches away from the Proffesor's.

Well done Harry, Well done! Now a quick check," Said Tofty while checking he didn't leave anything behind. Harry stood there nervously, it wasn't because of the exam it was... Dark Magic!

"Well done Ha-" Tofty started.

"Hurry Proffesor, Hide!" Shouted Harry as a curse flew by him. They were under attack. He quickly used the dissalusing charm, then looked were the spell had come from. He saw deatheater looking in the opposite directionas if he thought Harry had apparated there. Harry sillently sent the body-binding cuse at him and the deatheater's body instintaly seized up and he fell over. Harry quickly sent a message to the ministry, glad that he had learnt how to send messages with the Patronous Charm. As Proffesor Tofty was coming out of where he hid Harry saw him also send his Patronous, which was a rabbit, to the Ministry.

"Good spell work Harry!" exclaimed Tofty.

"I think we should get out of here Proffesor." Harry whispered. He could feel Voldemort nearby so they apparated back.

"Here you go Harry, your liceanse." Tofty said.

"Thanks!" Harry excaimed.

!#$&(--)+

"How'd you do Harry?" Asked Ron sounding worried.

"Don't worry mate! It's not hard, especially if you only failed by half and eyebrow last time!" Replied Harry.

"Good luck sweetheart!" Hermione called as Ron walked away.

"Since when did you guy's start calling each other 'sweetheart'?" Harry asked acting like it was the grossest thing ever while wishing he and Ginny could be like that. Hermione saw the look on Harry's face in which she saw to much. When Ron came back he said it was weirder this time because Proffesor Tofty said they would only apparate to the Leaky Cauldron.

"I wonder why. Do you know anything Harry?" Asked Hermione thinking, "Oh Harry, were you attacked?"

"Yes we were." Harry said in discust.

"Was it the reporters or deatheaters?" Ron asked.

"One deatheater but Voldemort is staying in a muggle place close by. Both Tofty and I sent our Patronouses with a message here. You'd never guess what his is, a rabbit!" Harry started seriously but finished laughing. "Hey Ron," Harry started after he finished laughing, "How did you do?"

"I passed!" He said happily. So with that they apparated back to the Burrow.

!#$&(--)+

First they apparated to the guard, gave the passwords, then apparated into the kitchen where they knew Molly would be making did they know that Molly was expecting them. At first she heard two pops which indicated apparater's. Where's the third one? She wondered. When she turned around she saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Who did side-along apparation?" She asked.

"Nobody Mum!" Said Ron with a grin, "We both passed!"

"Oh Ronald!" she exclaimed, "Harry dear, how are you?"

"I'm fine Mrs. Weasly, I'm fine!" He answered with laughing eyes after her Weasley-type hug. "The worst thing was the unmarked Deatheater. I'd say we got off easy."

"Why would you say that?" Molly asked.

"Because I could feel Voldemort nearby. He may be staying in a muggle house."

"Oh Harry, it must be awful having to worry about yo-" Started Mrs. Weasley.

"It's Voldemort" Harry interupted.

"OK, Voldemort, while worrying about your friends. How do you do it?" She asked

"With the help of my friends." He answered simply and smiled at Ron and Hermione. "Mrs. Weasly, I don't know how to break this to you so I'll just say it right out. I know that the Order knows that I have to destroy six horxruxes before I can destroy Voldemort. Well we found one and Ron and Hermione want to help me destroy it."

"No!" Molly exclaimed, "It's to dangerous. I don't want you guys hurt!"

"It's to late Mum," Ron said, "Moine and I decided this in our firs year after helping him save the stone, we'll always be there for him."

Molly knew there wouldn't be any arguing with anything to do with a friend. Even if it meant putting their lives on the line. "I guess I can't argue with that," she said in surrender, "Just try to be careful!" They didn't know that Ginny had been outside the door until they heard a sob and running footsteps.

"Ginny!" Harry exclaimed. She had over heard! Ginny didn't show up for supper again so this time Harry took it up. He knocked on the door and said, "Gin, I've got your supper." When she didn't answer Harry said, "Please open the door Gin. I want to talk."

She replied through the door, "The last time we talked it wasn't any good."

Harry felt her heart ache so he answered, "I know that you know about the horxruxes and I also know that you want to come with us But I don't want you to get hurt."

She opened the door and said, "Come in." Her eyes were all puffy and her cheeks were tearstained. Harry sat on her bed facing her and started talking.

"Look Ginny, I want to spend the rest of my life with you but if we date you'd be in even more danger and I wouldn't be able to live if you died. I plan on starting a family with you if you want," By this time Ginny had walked over and settled herself in Harry's lap.

"It's OK Harry, I don't care if I'm in danger but I'll stay safe for you. Please can we get back together. I love you to"

"I love you Gin"

"Just hold me, I've missed you so much." When Molly went up to see where Harry had gotten to and saw her daughter and him curled up asleep. She decided to leave them alone since it was probably the best sleep they'd had in a while. When Ron and Hermione saw the other couple and decided that Harry would sleep there so they went up to Ron's room to snog.

When Molly went to check on all the kids she saw Harry and Ginny sleeping close yet soundly, but when she checked on Hermione and found the room empty,she knew exactly where she was, In Ron's room. Sure enough when she checked on him she found the young couple snogging away when she realised her baby's were growing up she began to chuckle.

!#$&(--)+

The next morning Harry realised that he and Ginny had gotten away with sleeping in the same room together let alone, in each other's arms. He quietly and carefuly untangled his arms and legs from Ginny's hoping not to wake her. He checked his watch and it showed 10:00. 10:00? He thought, I usually get up quite early. When he got downstairs he was surprised to find that only he and Mrs. Weasley were up besides Mr. Weasley who was at work.

"Good morning Harry." Mrs. Weasley said, not looking away from the stove.

"Morning!" Harry said brightly, "Should I go and wake the other's?"

"Go ahead and wake Ron and Hermione, they'll be in Ron's room." She answered. That's when he realized that Molly knew about him and Ginny sleeping together. Like Mrs. Weasley said, he found Ron and Hermione curled uo together.

"Hey, wake up!" He yelled. Hermione was the first one to wake up. When she saw him she quickly brought the covers up but by the quick glance Harry got, she was wearing a very flimsy nightgown, if any. When Ron got up he quickly tried to help Hermione cover up.

"Bloody Hell Harry!" Ron exclaimed, "Get out!" and with that Ron grabbed his wand and Harry left before he could be hexed.

When he was going down the stairs he went into Ginny's room and gave her a quick kiss. She slept right through it. When he finally stopped looking at her sleeping form he went downstairs and was surprised to see Bill and Fleur eating breakfast. About 30 seconds after he started his breakfast Ron and Hermione came down the stairs holding hands.

When Ginny came down the stairs they saw the happy look that they hadn't seen in Harry's eyes all summer. He quickly walked over to the stairs, grabbed her around the waist, spun her around, and when he set her down, he kissed her. First it was an inocent kiss, then she felt his tongue tracing her lips so she opened them and let her tongue meet his. It fells so good, and it tastes like breakfast. Ginny thought.

When they finally broke apart they heard everyone clapping and Ron, of all people, give a wolf-whistle. It was exacly like the first time he kissed her except this was her family and a family Harry also liked and always took care of him. He was glad they excepted him and he surprised Ginny when he pinched her bottom. He was even more surprised when she put her hand his thigh then started rubbing his leg. Soon they both dissolved into giggles which made the other two couples laugh when they saw the look on Molly's face.

After breakfast they were allowed to do whatever they wanted so Harry and Ginny decided to go for a swim at the little pond. When they got down and Harry saw Ginny's swimsuit his breath got caught in his lungs. She was wearing a magnifisant gold bakini. It almost looked as if she wasn't wearing anything

Ginny saw how he looked at her and said, "I felt sorry that I didn't get you a birthday present so I wore this. I hope it's good enough." By the looks of his lower half, it was more than enough. She was surprised when he took two big steps over and kissed her hard. He moaned and Ginny just giggled. She knew he would like it.

Pretty soon they were swimming and touching each other. Little did Harry know that Ginny had gotten Dobby to make them some Gillyweed. Harry was getting out to grab his wand so he could cast the bubblehead charm on them when Ginny grabbed his arm and said, "I've got to Gillyweed!"

"How?" Harry asked.

"Dobby made it for us."

"Why would he do that?"

"If you hadn't noticed Harry, he worships you!"

"OK. Whatever! I'll watch you first so I can help you. Just remember that when you can't breath it's time to go under water." He finished explaining just as she finished her first bite and by the look on her face she found it just as gross as he did. When she was finished her eyes got big and Harry rushed her to the water. She didn't want to go down so Harry forced her head under. While he was eating his he felt Ginny carresing him. He quickly finished his last bite, went under, and started to tickle her.

When their hour was up they got out, dried off, and changed. When they got back they were surprised to find the house empty and a message from Molly:

Dear Harry and Ginny. I've gone to Diagon Ally to get some potion supplies. Ron and Hermione went to a movie at the local theater, they already know I've gone. Bill and Fluer are out looking for flowers for the wedding. One of us should show up around 3:30. See you later.

Molly(Mum)

Soon Harry was sitting in one of the chairs in the den with Ginny curled up in his lap. As she was making herself comfortable Harry could feel himself wanting her. Ginny knew she was making him feel like this and Harry soon growled, "If you don't stop soon I'm going to have to do something I really want to do!" Which made her giggle. She nipped at his chin when he asked, "Did you get my dimple?"

"Yes, I did." She said simply. Soon they both fell asleep.

Harry was the first one to wake up to the snickering when he saw Fred and George. When he looked around to see what they were laughing at he realised it was him. He had been stroking Ginny's breast yet she didn't seem to mind. She also woke up almost instently when he stopped his stroking. When she looked up into Harry's face and saw a look of utter horror, she looked around and saw the twins rolling on the floor laughing. She turned a deep red and then Harry did something she thought she'd never see him do, He kissed her and not just a gentle kiss. It was a hard one. That shut Fred and George up.

!#$&(--)+

After supper Fred, George, Ron, and Harry went for a walk. Soon they were in the enclosed area that they played Quiditch in. Fred conjured four chairs. "Sit." was all he said.

"We all know that you guys have real feelings for those girls your with, and since Dad's at work, Bill is going to get married to a beautiful women, and Remus has just started to go out with a wonderful witch. We thought it was our business to give you the talk. Since you're dating our sister for one thing Harry, and you're our brother Ron." Started George.

"Harry, Ron. You both know that sex is a special thing shared between two people in a special relationships. We know that you guys are in relationships like that." Fred continued.

"Hermione and Ginny are precious. If you hurt either one, we'll pound the living daylights out of you." George threatened, "and no Ron, we don't like Hermione as anything more than a sister."

"Even if she is cute." Fred said jokingly. But by the murderous look Ron gave him, he had gone to far. About an hour later they walked back to the Burrow. The new books in their hands were all about how to please the woman you're with. If anyone but you picks it up, the pages are blank.

!#$&(--)+

While the boys were outside Mrs. Weasley decided it was time to give Ginny the talk. She didn't know if Hermione's parents had given it to her either so she asked the girl to stay. She had just finished teaching them birth-controll cjarms when the boys walked in. By the looks of it Fred and George also gave the boys the talk. Molly decided to tell them a desicion that had her fighting with herself. She knew that Ron and Hermione were of age and could sleep wherever they wanted she also knew that Harry was of age to. Ginny woiuld also be of age next June.

"Ron, Hermione. Can I talk to you outside?" She asked. "Oh! Harry,Ginny. Could you please wait for me here?"

"Sure Mrs. Weasley." Harry replied before Ginny could.

Mrs. Weasley took Ron and Hermione into the garden and said, "You guys can both stay in Ron's room though I would prefer if you if you kept both beds in there even if you don't use both both of them." and with that she went to talk to Harry and Ginny. When she walked in they were just finishing the dishes.

"What would you like to talk to us about Mum?" asked Ginny.

"I just wanted to say that you guys have my permission to sleep in the same room. I do hope that you sleep in a different bed at least four times a week. I-" She was cut off when Ginny ran over and gave her a weasley hug.

Pretty soon everyone decided to head to bed. This is weird! Harry thought, I'm only going to Ginny's room, not Ron's. For a guy who likes to were boxers or shorts to bed he thought he should wear sweats a t-shirt. He was about to throw on a shirt when Ginny wrapped her arms around his waist and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him. Pretty soon he was casting silencing and locking charms as fast as he could while kissing Ginny. Pretty soon her nightgown was on the floor as were his pants but it was as far as they went. They ended up falling asleep in eachothers arms and still in only their underwear.

Meanwhile Ron and Hermione were kissing very passionatly in Ron's room. When he finaly unclasped her bra she gasped. He started to kiss and suck each of her breasts as she worked off his boxers. They quietly made love and when they were spent they fell asleep. When they awoke in the morning they made love again then just cuddled.

When Ginny first awoke and found Harry still sound asleep she smiled. It was probably one of the best sleeps he'd had in a long time. She couldn't help but trace his lips with her tongue when she kissed him. Harry knew he had startled her when he slid his tongue into her mouth. They had another quick snogging session.

When they got down they saw Fred, George, and Angela?

"Fred and Angela started going out last week." Ginny said answering his unasked question.

"So that's why George looks like he lost his best friend." Harry replied in an equal whisper. So they said hi to Fred and Angela then sat down beside George. "Hey George. How are you?" Asked Harry.

"Glad I gave you the talk." He whispered after saying hi to Ginny. "Mum told us about letting you guys sleep in the same rooms as your girls, let alone in the same bed!"

Harry was amused that it seemed that he was the only one who didn't know about Fred and Angela. After breakfast he pulled Ron, Hermione, and Ginny aside and said, "I think I know how to cheer George up!" So they decided to go on a factory tour where Harry's uncle worked (The worst part of the day), and meet a girl Harry knew would be working there. She was one of the only ones who would share her lunch with him and she was very good looking in Harry's oppinion. (The best part.)

When they told Fred and Angela, Fred jumped right in, hoping it would help cheer up his brother. Angela was a little bit more resistant but quickly agreed as long as they didn't force them together. After their meeting Harry quickly said before everyone left, "Oh ya! She's a squib." That just made everyone even happier.

Authors Notes:

I know this is a short chapter but what do you expect? This is my first novel and I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. This will take awhile to get the second chapter out cause I have to write it out on loose-leaf as a first copy then I have to type it out. Along with that I have school and Volleyball.

I plan on making the second chapter longer but I wasn't sure how long they should be (this chapter was 15 and a half pages without skipping lines)

Please R&R! I need encouragement!

This is a short authors notes but I have nothin' to discuss. I G2G (Got to Go)
