After the Battle

Chapter 6

'Hide'. I obliged and quickly pulled my invisibility cloak from my bag. I sat in front of her wardrobe doors, it draped over my body. I tried to catch my breath, I needed to stay quiet.

I didn't know who it was. They knocked again. Ginny pulled her top on and adjusted her clothing in the mirror. I sighed, gorgeous as always. She stood by the door, winked at me, took a deep breath and then pressed down on the handle.

'Mum', she said shocked.

'I was just wondering what on earth you're doing? You've been ever such a long time and normally you're always helping me in the kitchen.'

'Sorry Mum, I'm just- pre-occupied.'.

'What on earth with?' She asked.

'Urm-. I'm just, I mean- Helping Ron. I'm helping Ron.'

'Well, that certainly makes a change from the pair of you arguing. What are you helping him with?'

'Oh, he's just really, really, really desparate. So, he asked me to help him get a girlfriend, because I'm so experienced.' She grinned.

Mrs Weasley laughed. 'Between you and me, I don't think he's got a chance in hell of getting one!'

I spluttered.

'What was that?' Mrs Weasley asked.

'Oh, that'll be Arnold. He's started making some odd noises recently.'

'Oh, that's odd'. said Mrs Weasley. 'Pehaps he's ill. Get Charlie to take a look, next time he's here. Or Hagrid.

I spluttered again. I was amazed that Mrs Weasely was actually buying this.

'See Mum, It's happening again. I think i'm going to stay here for a little while, make sure he's ok.' Ginny said, rolling her eyes at me.

'Ok. and good luck with Ron.' Mrs Weasley left the room.

Ron walked in, 'Oi, what was that about?' 

'Sorry again mate. Had to be done, good one Gin very believable.' I said whilst pulling the invisibility cloak off.

'Mum didn't think you stood a chance.'

'Harry, can you please put a shirt on thats disgusting and I DO stand a chance.'

Ginny and I giggled, She kissed me again. Ron made a wretching noise as he left the room.

'Oh my God', she said. 'We don't get a minutes peace do we?'

'I'll take you out soon, Somewhere nice, just the two of us.'

She grinned and pulled me back onto her bed.
