After the Battle

Chapter 15

I returned to the burrow at about 5pm. I found Mrs Weasley in the Kitchen, 'How did it go?' she asked inquisitvely.

'Ok, I think.' I said. 'I'm looking forward to it. Are you sure my staying here is ok, Mrs Weasley?'

'Oh, of course don't be silly Harry. Just because you and Ginny are together- Well, just don't be too in my face about it and don't hurt her, I know you wont but DON'T! And then we'll be just fine.'

I smiled. 'Of course not Mrs Weasley.'

It was at that moment that Ginny ran down the stairs and reached up to kiss me when- 'What did I just say?'

'Sorry, Mrs Weasley!' Ginny grabbed my hand and tried to sneak out of the Kitchen without Mrs Weasley noticing. We were nearly at the stairs when-

'And where do you two think you're going?' She asked, 'I've got eyes in the back of my head you know!'

We chuckled. 'Please Mum', Ginny begged.

'Ok', Mrs Weasley sighed and relented, 'but don't do anything stupid', she raised her eyebrows. We knew what this meant and gave each other a little grin, 'I WILL be checking on you!'
