Chapter 72 - Tensions at the Burrow

"Yeah" Harry agreed "the kiddie rides are fine but some of the slower rides go at a speed of about 30 to 50 miles per hour and some even faster. The ride with the record for most loops has 14 loops and the world's fastest ride can go to 149.1miles per hour"

"You're lying" Ron shouted in disbelief

"Nope, I researched it when I was deciding what to do. Besides it's not like Hermione hasn't been to one before, this is my and Ginny's first time going to one and I'm not having it ruined by a girl who can't get over her obsession"

"What obsession?!"

"Ron" Ginny spoke softly "I know you're not the most observant person but even you noticed how she was looking at Harry and me at dinner, I don't expect you to listen to me or even believe me but trust me when I say that isn't the girl for you."

"I don't even like her like that" Ron replied

"it's pretty obvious Harry is the only reason she came here" Ginny responded "if you don't want to think we're telling the truth then don't but just don't blame us when it goes tits up"

"Alright I'm going to go now before he starts screaming" Harry kissed Ginny "see you tomorrow at ten" With that Harry flamed away, Ginny quickly rushed back Ron and went back to the house before he could say anything.

"Ginny dear" Mrs Weasley spoke "Hermione we'll be sleeping in your room"

"No she won't" Ginny refused

"Don't you take that tone with me!" Molly roared

"Mum!" Ginny looked at her mum defiantly "Hermione is not staying in my room because she can stay in Bill or Charlie's room and besides if she does than either she'd do something horrible to me or I'd do something to her"

"I would never" Hermione shouted "I would never behave inappropriately"

"Just like how you never tried to steal my boyfriend?" Ginny shot back "Or how you never constantly bothered the two of us or got detention every second week? Besides mum, I don't think Harry would feel very happy knowing I had to share a room with her"

Harry had told her to use his name if she was ever in an argument with her mother, she knew why, her mum had to keep him happy and want him to like the family. She also feared what would happen if Harry did something drastic and she knew he could be very dangerous if he did, she had heard the rumours about him at school and she knew all about him taking Dumbledore to court.

"Very well" She reluctantly agreed "Hermione can stay in Charlie's room for tonight and you can sleep in your own"

"Thank you mother" Ginny spoke sweetly

"Well played" The twins whispered as she walked up to her room.

The next day Harry arrived and the two whisked off to a theme park, where they spent the remainder of the day. Ginny enjoyed the rides, sadly for Harry they didn't seem that impressive thanks to the dives and loops he'd do daily when practising for quidditch. They returned later in the evening at the burrow with a pile of sweets and candies which they shared with everyone. Molly insisted they should be checked, Percy tried one and thought it wasn't that bad, the twins tried a few and agreed. Ron tried at least one of everything and would probably have finished them all if his mother hadn't fussed and his father didn't start examining them.

Harry and Ginny told them all about their day. They told them how they went on rides, won a few prizes in the games, went on more rides and ate pizza before returning. Just after Arthur had finished questioning them on pizza Harry had started handing out gifts. He got Mrs Weasley some theme park themed cutlery, he brought the twins some bubble blowers and he even got Ron a pile of sweets.

Ron obviously wanted them but he refused, Harry didn't care much so he just let Ginny have them. He then gave Arthur a toy helicopter, to say Arthur was beaming with joy would be an understatement. Soon Percy left the house, everyone said their goodbyes and Mrs Weasley constantly failed at not crying and being happy for him. A little while later Harry returned home, his time had been divided between training, visiting the remaining marauders and visiting Ginny.

Eventually came time for the world cup, Harry and Sirius brought tickets for it, Remus declined and Harry didn't need to buy tickets for the Ginny as her dad had won them somehow. Soon they all found themselves in the ministers personal booth and watching the world cup. Then the Malfoys came in, all three of them, Harry didn't like the way they were looking at them so decided he'd go and make an impression. He walked over to them just as they entered.
