Suddenly, the atmosphere became ambiguous. Even the air turned pink, and Harry had a premonition that something was about to happen.
Ginny took a step closer to him and pressed against his chest, feeling his scent.
"So, I hope you have something that will remind you of me. I mean, if you meet a certain seductress when you're out doing things."
"To be honest, I think there are very, very few opportunities to fall in love at that time."
"I hope I can have that little bit of comfort," she said softly. Then, she kissed him …
Ginny kissed him in a way she had never kissed him before, and Harry kissed her back.
He was on cloud nine, and his mind was blank. It was better than the feeling of Fire Whiskey.
At that moment, she was the only real thing in the world. Ginny, the feeling she gave him. He hugged her back with one hand, and stroked her long, fragrant hair with the other. His hand trailed down her hair, and he hugged Ginny tightly …
Bang!!!
The door behind them was suddenly slammed open, and the two of them hurriedly separated.
"Oh!" Ron said sharply. "I'm so sorry to interrupt you two."
Elwyn, Hermione, Elaine, and Gabri ran in. Because Ron had slammed the door open, Harry and Ginny were obviously embarrassed.
On the other side, Ron was so angry that his ears were red. He glared at Harry and Ginny angrily, as if they were doing something outrageous.
Hermione looked uneasy, Gabri covered her eyes and peeked through the gaps between her fingers, and Elaine looked like a curious baby.
Elwyn held his forehead weakly. He knew that this scene must be very embarrassing.
Ginny and Harry had not cut ties with Ron, and it could only be said that their tempers were too good.
The atmosphere was tense in the silence. Then, Ginny said softly in a flat tone, "Okay, Harry, happy birthday."
Harry didn't answer. He really wanted to kick everyone out except for him and Ginny, and then slam the door shut.
But just now, when the door was opened, it was as if a cold wind had blown into the room and burst his moment of glory like a soap bubble. All the reasons he gave to sever ties with Ginny and to distance himself from Ginny seemed to have disappeared when he followed Ron into the house.
He looked at Ginny and wanted to say a few words. Although he didn't know what to say, Ginny had already turned around.
Harry thought that this time, she probably couldn't hold back her tears anymore. In front of Ron, he had no way to comfort her.
"See you later," he said, and followed the others out of the bedroom.
They did not stop at the stairwell, and the argument did not erupt as quickly as expected.
Ron strode down the stairs, through the still crowded kitchen, and into the yard.
"Harry, don't …" Hermione said in a panic. She had bitten her tongue too quickly.
"Don't get agitated, Harry," Elwyn said.
"Stay out of this. I want to talk to him," Harry said, following Ron.
The two of them went to a secluded corner of the newly mowed lawn. The others watched from afar, ready to rush over if anything was wrong.
"Ron thinks too highly of Ginny. This abnormal protectiveness is suffocating," Hermione said.
"Ginny is annoyed by this." Elaine said in a condescending tone. Ever since the last time Ron got angry because Ginny and Harry were dating, she had not spoken to Ron. "To be honest, if I had a brother like this, I would definitely find a way to make him disappear."
"Alright, Ron is just … being kind," Elwyn said, trying to calm things down. "You know, he wants to protect Ginny."
On the other side of the lawn, Harry and Ron had broken out in a violent altercation. They were arguing very hard.
Because they were too far away, Elwyn, Hermione, Elaine, and Gabri did not hear what they were saying.
However, from the end result, the two of them seemed to have reached an agreement, but they were both unhappy.
Ron kept muttering that Harry had lied to him and deliberately found an opportunity to flirt with his sister.
Although in the eyes of normal people, it was Ginny's freedom to date and kiss whomever she wanted, and Ron had no right to express his opinion, Harry still said that he would never contact Ginny again, because he hoped that Ginny's future would be free and unfettered, and his future would be nothing but defeating Lord Voldemort.
With Ron's forceful intervention, the matter seemed to be resolved.
For the rest of the day, Harry and Ginny were not alone together again.
From her expression and demeanor, it was impossible to tell that they had a conversation that was beyond polite in her room.
However, Hermione later told Elwyn that Ginny cried in her room at noon. She said that Ron was a bastard and interfered in her private affairs …
To a certain extent, he was indeed a bastard. His excessive protectiveness was suffocating, but it was hard to say that he was wrong.
Because Ron's intentions seemed to be good, and his feelings towards Ginny seemed to be sincere, at least on the surface. He couldn't reason things out, and no one wished to explain things to him. Fortunately, Sirius's arrival eased the tense atmosphere to a certain extent, and brought some comfort to Harry.
The birthday present he gave to Harry was also out of his expectations, it was the inheritance rights of the Blake Family's assets.
If Sirius died due to an accident, then all the Blake Family's assets would belong to Harry. Even now, Harry could go to Sirius and the Blake Family's vault in Gringotts to retrieve items. Although Sirius had always been extravagant with his spending, this amount of assets would still not be a small amount.
Unlike those pure-blood Sorcerer Families that suddenly became rich or fell from grace, the Blake Family had always been very powerful and prosperous.
At least, it was still the case during Sirius's father's generation. Even if they weren't as rich as the Malfoy Family, in fact, they weren't much different.
Faced with this overly valuable gift, Harry wanted to refuse it, but Sirius finally persuaded him.
Under Sirius's encouragement, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Everyone seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant things that happened in the morning. They sat on the chairs with smiles, watching Lady Weasley raise her wand aggressively, forcing Charlie, who had just returned, to sit on the chair and loudly saying that she would give him a good haircut.
Long before Lupin, Tonks and Hagrid arrived, Harry's birthday party had already made the Shack's kitchen explode with people.
So they put together a few tables in the garden.
Fred and George used magic to conjure a large number of purple lanterns and hung them over the guests' heads. The lanterns flashed with the dazzling number 17. Thanks to Lady Weasley's careful care, George's wound had become smooth and even, but the black hole was still eye-catching, even though the twins had made fun of it.
The birthday party began, and everyone came to sit outside.
"Out of the way, out of the way!" Lady Weasley said loudly as she walked through the garden door. A golden snitch the size of a water balloon was floating in front of her.
A few seconds later, they realized that it was Harry's birthday cake.
Lady Weasley let him hang in the air with her wand, instead of taking the risk of carrying it across the uneven ground.
