Chapter 33 : The House Is Ours

The Burrow. The name of the house I had always lived in. Now the name of the house that was Ron's and mine for an entire week end. Mum and dad were leaving this morning to visit Charlie in Romania.

"Ginny!" I heard mom call me. "Would you come downstairs?"

I obeyed and met everyone downstairs. Mum, dad, Harry, Hermione and Ron were standing in the living room.

"Okay kids so no stupid things. When we come back, I want this house to be exactly the way it is right now." Dad said. We nodded, even though he wasn't really scary.

"And if anything happens, you send us a patronus right away, you understand?" Mum asked.

"Yes mum."

"Yes Molly."

"Alright. We trust you."

"Yeah dad, don't worry!" I assured him.

"Okay.. bye kids!"

"Love you!" Mum added.

"Bye!"

And with that, they closed the door behind them.

"And...the house is ours!!" Ron said as if he had won a thousand gallions.

"That doesn't mean you can do whatever you want." Hermione reminded him.

"Yeah.. whatever." He said, heading to the kitchen.

***

"Do you think that would actually suit me?" Hermione asked for the 100th time. She was trying on some dresses, because little Ronniekins had invited her on a date tonight. And Hermione being Hermione, didn't get that Ron loved her for who she was and screw what she was wearing. But I might say that that short red and simple dress was suiting her really well.

"Hermione if you ask this one more time I swear I'll shut you out of my room." I warned.

"Oh my god Ginny but I'm so nervous!! What if Ron doesn't like my dress? What if the restaurant is awful? What if something happens? What if... what if..."

"See. You can't even imagine anything else that could happen." I laughed. "Honestly Hermione, just smile and have fun. Snog my brother, have a little shag -"

"Ginny!! Sshh!!!" She said, her cheeks turning a deep shade of red.

"What? That's what you gonna do afterwards, right?" I smirked.

"That's not of your business."

"Yeah. But you're still dining outside and sleeping outside too.. so if you really plan on sleeping all night.."

"And what are you gonna do?" She asked.

"Well... you know, the usual.. reading.. chilling..eating anything I can.."

She let out a laugh.

"What?" I asked.

"You and Harry, alone in here, reading? Don't make me laugh!" She sighed, yet she was smiling.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I replied trying to look innocent.

"Hermione?" We heard.

"Oh my god!" Hermione started to panic as she recognized her waiting boyfriend's voice coming from downstairs.

"Calm down Hermione!!!" I sighed.

"I'm totally calm!" She yelled, running down the stairs.

"That you are." I heard Harry say sarcastically, and I laughed.

He was waiting with Ron down the stairs, and smiling at me.

Ron was staring at Hermione in awe.

"Close your mouth Ronniekins, you're so rude." I joked.

"You're... pretty, Mione." He said, totally ignoring me.

"Thanks." She smiled and blush. "You're not so bad yourself."

Oh yes he is. I replied internally.

Be nice with your brother. I heard Harry reply with a chuckle.

Ew. I laughed.

As nobody was talking, nor moving, I decided to wake everybody up.

"COME ON!" I said.

"Yeah, don't worry Ginny, you'll have your time with Harry." Ron growled, and I snorted.

"Says the one who's gonna sleep with Herm-"

"Shut up!!!" He said.

"Whatever!!" I sang happily.

Harry laughed and we both pushed Hermione and Ron outside.

"Those two.." I laughed.

"Yeah.. I've always kinda knew they would end up together." Harry said.

"Maybe they're made for each other."

"Well.. they look happy." He said.

"And stupid." He laughed.

"Yeah, and stupid too." He agreed.

"Okay.. so.. what do you wanna eat?" I asked him.

"I don't know, whatever you want."

"What about.. "

"Pizza?" He asked.

"Yeah go for pizza!" I said happily.

"Alright!" He said. "How do we do that?"

"Er... "

We looked at each other for a moment.

"Pasta?" He proposed.

"Yeah. We'll ask mum later for a pizza." I agreed. I didn't want to burn down my house.

"Do you know how to do that?" I asked.

"Of course. I've grown up with the Dursleys!" He replied.

"Well let me see then!" I said.

"You're gonna be impressed Weasley."

"That's likely."

***

"Harry?" I asked suddenly, as we were eating in the kitchen.

"Yeah?"

"I was just wondering.. I mean.. what was I like before?"

"Before?" He asked, confused.

"Yeah you know, before it happened.

The day I lost my memory would probably be the first one I would remember all my life.

"You were you.. I don't get it.. you've always been you. Your personality is so strong it can't change." He said as if I was supposed to know.

I smiled.

"And.. about Ron and Hermione?"

"Oh." He said. "I think they already got it."

"Even Ron?" I giggled.

"Well Hermione got it." He laughed.

"Maybe we should kiss when they're in the room. To be sure they know." I proposed, with a laugh.

"I don't even know how Ron would react." Harry said.

"Why?"

"Well, he seems fine with it, you know, but us sucking each other's face is obviously the last thing he would want to see." He chuckled.

"But.. he knows we.. I mean.. that we're not just messing around.. that we're serious? Right?"

"Yeah! Of course he knows, but you know, him being your brother, he thinks that he has to protect you."

"But I'm big enough to do what I want. I don't need protection!"

"I know! And he knows too. He probably just wants you to be okay. He loves you."

"I guess you're right.." I sighed. "But you wouldn't hurt me." I stated.

"Never." He said, and I saw determination in his eyes, mixed with something that looked like.. love?

"I trust you." I said.

"You better trust me!" He laughed.

"Second thought!" I laughed. "I don't trust you that much!" I joked.

"I'm hurt Weasley! " he said dramatically.

"What a drama queen!!" I laughed.

"How dare you!" He said, and I got up, and ran into the house.

"You won't catch me!!" I shouted.

And I was wrong. He caught me in only a minute, and threw me onto the couch.

"What are you gonna do now?" I asked fiercely, as I was made prisoner of his embrace.

"I'm currently thinking about it." He smiled.

His face was so close to mine. His eyes were shining, their emerald green colour was mesmerizing.

I got up so we could be both sitting on the couch, but he winced as he moved.

"Is it your.. injury?" I asked him, worried.

"What? Oh, yeah, don't worry, I just didn't apply the potion on it today." He said, trying to sound casual, so I wouldn't worry.

"Do you want to apply it now?" I asked.

"Yeah, it will just take me five minutes." He replied.

"Okay, I'll go upstairs then." I smiled, and pecked him on the lips.
