Chapter 4
Ginny's POV (told you)
I vomited in my mouth.
"Merlin's beard, Harry, how do you do that all the time?" I asked, slightly dizzy.
"Practice, Gin, Practice." he said, smirking. Then his face goes calm, with a small smile. "We're home. I still can't believe he's dead. After all this time, and all the losses. But we're safe. We're home."
We started walking towards the front door.
I smiled. "Yep. You're home as well. Ron and I always wanted you to stay with us every holiday, for all of it. But Dumbledore said no, for reasons we are now aware of. But in those weeks when you were with your aunt and uncle, we begged Mum every day to convince Dumbledore to let you come. Even in the years I couldn't speak to you, I really enjoyed your company. It was like having another, hotter brother. Don't deny it." I said, when he opened his mouth. "Because you're hotter than Ron."
We both laughed. It felt like the many hours we spent together in my fifth year. We could talk openly, freely, happily again.
He spoke again. "Well you're hotter than Hermione." he said.
We laughed again. A laugh turned into a kiss and we stood there, 20 feet from the entrance to the house, kissing. At least until we were interrupted.
"Please, I have received the news, I don't need evidence." It was Charlie.
"Far out, Charlie. You have a knack for picking out couples kissing, don't you?" I said to him in a mocking voice once Harry and I had broken apart. "And of course you need proof. You need it Charlie, you need it. You also need practice. I hear your last girlfriend was Norberta."
Harry laughed. "I heard that from Hagrid." We all cracked up. Then Bill and Fleur walked up to us and Bill said "Come on guys, let's head in." We ceased laughing and went upstairs to Ron's room.
As expected, Ron and Hermione were sitting on Ron's bed, snogging. "Oi, you two!" said Harry, grinning. They broke apart, and said "Yes?'' simultaneously. "Nothing." replied Harry. "What do you guys want to do?"
Hermione, of course, had an idea. She reached into her bag and pulled out a rectangular, silvery thing. "This is called a media player." (Basically the forerunner of an iPod etc. They were made in 1998 for the first time) "It plays songs on a playlist." Harry obviously knew what it was, and told Hermione "Dudley had about 20 of them. I know Queen's greatest hits off by heart." Hermione laughed, but me and Ron were still confused. "By music," he said, "do you mean Muggle music? And what is this 'Queen'?"
Hermione said "Yes, Ron, it's all muggle music. And Queen is one of the best bands, muggle or magical, to ever record music. I have a couple of their songs on here actually."
"Wait," said Ron, "when did you get that?"
Hermione answered "I got it before the Horcrux hunt. My parents gave it to me as an early birthday gift. I also know Queen's greatest hits off by heart." We laughed.
"Play us one of these masterpieces then." I said, and Hermione pressed a button. Sound started coming out of it. Music. Then the lyrics started.
"Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive and the world it's turning inside out Yeah!
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So don't stop me now don't stop me
'Cause I'm having a good time having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies
Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go go go
There's no stopping me
I'm burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you "
Harry started singing and doing moves with his hands
"Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now ('cause I'm having a good time)
Don't stop me now (yes I'm having a good time)
I don't want to stop at all... yeah!
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars
On a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload
Like an atom bomb about to
Oh oh oh oh oh explode
I'm burning through the sky Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Hey hey hey!
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh ooh ooh (I like it)
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Have a good time, good time
Don't stop me
Don't stop me
Ooh I'm burning through the sky yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
Don't stop me now
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
Don't stop me now
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
Don't stop me now 'cause I'm having a good time
Don't stop me now yes I'm having a good time
I don't wanna stop at all "
When it finished, Hermione put the player down. "See? Masterpiece!" she said, a grin on her face.
"That's not the best one though." said Harry. "I know it's not Queen, but could do you have Karma Chameleon?" I blinked. What kind of song name is that? I thought.
Once again, Hermione tapped a few buttons and an upbeat tune came out of the player.
"Dessert loving in your eyes all the way
If I listen to your lies, would you say
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sale a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Didn't you hear your wicked words every day
And you used to be so sweet I heard you say
That my love was an addiction
When we cling, our love is strong
When you go, you're gone forever
You string along, you string along
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
Every day is like survival
You're my lover, not my rival
I'm a man without conviction
I'm a man who doesn't know
How to sale a contradiction?
You come and go, you come and go
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colors were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green "
"Woah." I said once the song was finished. "Muggle music is really good. Definitely better than Celestina Warbeck!" We laughed again. "What other songs are there?"
"What about some Beatles?" said Hermione. Ron and I looked skeptically at each other, but Harry saw our expressions and said "It's the name of a band." I said "Ohhh" and Hermione played the next song.
"Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darling, it feels like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, the smiles returning to the faces
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been here
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Sun, sun, sun, here it comes
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Here comes the sun, here comes the sun
It's all right, it's all right "
Harry smiled. "That was Dudley's least favourite song, so obviously I played it to annoy him. Ah, the memories." We laugh once again.
"Do you guys want to play Quidditch?" asked Ron. Harry and I nodded, and Hermione said "Oh, alright." We went out to the broom shed to, well, get brooms. The teams we decided on were Ron and I against Harry and Hermione. This insured no mid-game snogging and an even playing field: two chasers/seekers and two keepers.
I started off with the quaffle. I sped down the middle but Harry came flying at me. I tried to dodge him but he knocked it out of my hands. He sped off to the goal that Ron was guarding, and shot. Ron missed, and the score was 10-0 to the non-Weasleys. The game went back and forth until Harry spotted the Snitch near our treehouse.
"Race you to it!" he yelled, and sped off. Hermione was cheering for him and Ron was cheering for me. He got there a second before me and already had his arm outstretched. I thought up a distraction to get the snitch.
I flew right up to him and said his name. He turned to me and I kissed him, my hand now outstretched. I smiled into the kiss and grabbed the snitch. I stopped flying and pulled away from Harry. "Never, ever trust me in a game of Quidditch, Potter." I said once we had touched the ground.
"I think I figured that out, Weasley." he said, and then he kissed me. Ron and Hermione came over and we hastily broke apart. Ron was grinning, as was Hermione.
"I must say, Ginny," started Hermione, "I doubt you'd be allowed to distract your opponent in that manner at Hogwarts."
I laughed. "Speaking of which, will you guys go back next year?"
They all nodded. Harry was the first to speak. "It's been like my second home the past seven years, I don't think I can leave it just yet."
"I agree mate," said Ron. "I never thought I'd say this, but I want to do my N.E.W.T.S. And if you and Hermione were to go back, and not us, I don't think we'd survive."
"Professor McGonagall hinted at something after the battle." said Hermione. "Something big, happening at Hogwarts. Hopefully not another Triwizard Tournament. She said if we decided to go back, all the information will be on our letters which will arrive within a day of notifying her of our return."
"Well, why are we wasting time?" I said. "Let's go tell Mum."

Thanks so much everyone for reading (once again). I honestly can't feel my fingertips right now from so much bloody typing.
What do you think the big event is? I'll give you a clue: it has something to do with a certain magical sport... (of course it's quidditch)
I kinda always had it in mind that the Weasleys would be introduced to Muggle music, and these are three of my favourite songs, so what better songs to do?
Thanks as always for reading and voting and stuff
