Just then the door to the common room opened <strong>and</strong> <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> Ginny walked in. Both Ron <strong>and</strong><br />

Hermione flung themselves apart, looking the part of two teens caught in the midst of passion, which is<br />

exactly what they were.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> looked at his two best friends for a few seconds, Ron's ears were red, a sure sign of<br />

embarrassment, <strong>and</strong> Hermione was suddenly very interested in a bit of lint on her clothing. <strong>Harry</strong><br />

laughed, "It's about time," he said as he walked over to the other couch, "you two have been teasing<br />

each other for almost a year."<br />

Ginny lay down next to <strong>Harry</strong> <strong>and</strong> put her head in his lap. He started to play with her hair<br />

absentmindedly. "Well," she said, "why don't the three of you start opening some of your fan mail? It<br />

looks like the pile got a bit bigger since this morning."<br />

The three quickly agreed <strong>and</strong> Hermione performed another safety charm on the pile. This time only two<br />

letters burst in to flame. Before any of them reached for the pile <strong>Harry</strong> also drew his w<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> with a<br />

quick jab, the pile separated it self out in to three individual piles, one large <strong>and</strong> two that were only<br />

about an eighth the size of the first.<br />

"There we go, this way were not digging through the pile looking for our letters." <strong>Harry</strong> said as he<br />

reached for the first letter in his pile. He opened it <strong>and</strong> found a letter inside that congratulated him on<br />

defeating Voldemort <strong>and</strong> also asked for a signed picture. <strong>Harry</strong> read out loud, "I don't have any pictures<br />

of myself," He said after they had finished laughing.<br />

"Oh, that can be easily remedied," said Ginny as she sat up, "just ask Collin…Oh, yeah, you can't." she<br />

finished, a tear coming to her eye.<br />

<strong>Harry</strong> pulled her close to him, he kissed her on the top of the head <strong>and</strong> said, "It's ok Gin, it'll be ok." He<br />

wasn't sure that he believed that himself, but he didn't like to see Ginny crying.<br />

"I think I saw Dennis with a camera today," said Hermione as she moved a bit closer to Ron, "You<br />

could ask him, I bet he'd love to help you."<br />

"All three of us will probably need photos," said Ron, who had just finished his first letter, "this one<br />

wants my autograph also. She also wants to know if I would fancy a date with her."<br />

The letter flew out of Ron's h<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> right in to Hermione's. She read the letter through <strong>and</strong> then, with<br />

a quick jab of her w<strong>and</strong>, set it on fire.<br />

Ginny burst out laughing at this, <strong>and</strong> both she <strong>and</strong> Hermione were soon rummaging through their<br />

boyfriends' mail, looking for letters requesting dates or, in a few cases, marriage proposals. In the end<br />

about half of each pile was eliminated. Then Ron turned on Hermione's pile, he found about half of her<br />

letters also requested dates. These were all quickly burned. The rest of the letters were requests for<br />

autographs, job offers, or endorsement deals.<br />

The packages were much of the same, except these people had sent food or other gifts with their letters.<br />

By far the most expensive gifts of all were the three Firebolt 2.0s, one sent to each of the trio, with a<br />

request for an endorsement. The letter sent with the brooms said that the trio could keep the brooms<br />

even if they didn't accept the endorsement deal. <strong>Harry</strong> quickly wrote back to the Firebolt Company that<br />

they would be happy to endorse the brooms.<br />

Hermione, who wasn't much of a flyer, said that as soon as they had finished with the endorsement she<br />

would give her broom to Ginny. "I can barely stay on a broom moving at normal speeds," she said as<br />

Ron stared at her, his mouth wide open in amazement, "how am I supposed to use a broom that travels<br />

at almost 300 miles an hour. Plus she'll get more use out of it than I will."<br />

Ginny was amazed; she'd never owned a broom that was anywhere near as good as this. She thanked
