Navigating Teen Romance

"First of all, friends? No, my only friends in Gryffindor at the moment are the chasers and Ginny."

"We...we thought you would have gotten over the tournament." Fred said. "The chasers too but they're still not talking to us."

"Yeah," George added. "I mean you hall ad to know we were joking."

"That is the problem, that is all you do." Harry said. "I was in a tournament for wizards and witches older and more trained than me, one where I could have died, one that got the whole school to turn on me and all you two did was joke about it. Do you realise how many people thought I actually was in the tournament because of you two? They figured that if you were joking about it then I was obviously being a smug prick who was laughing with all of Gryffindor about how I managed to cheat Dumbledore and the goblet."

"We're sorry Harry," George said. "but we..."

"I am not done." Harry cut him off. "Your pranks, your jokes, they were funny at first but trust me when I say they have gotten really stale. Pranks are great and all, but when you do it non-stop and when your victims do not like or appreciate pranks then it turns into bullying."

"We're not bullies!" Fred said, offended by Harry's words.

"Oh no?" Harry raised an eyebrow. "I remember in my third year when you two pranked a bunch of Slytherin first years and I saw one girl crying, I am sure she had a great time enjoying your pranks. Pranking can be bullying you know, especially if your target is far weaker than you and does not like pranks."

"Come on Harry," George said, shifting on his feet. "the marauders were pranksters too you know. That means your dad and Sirius."

"I look at the Marauders a little differently." Harry responded. "Pranks were probably the only way they could get back at the DE's to be during Voldemort's rise to power, and let's say it wasn't and they really were just like you and loved pranking people. Well my father is dead, Sirius lost years of his life in Azkaban, Remus can't get a job because he's hated by nearly everyone and Peter is currently in an Azkaban cell. Yeah, life really worked out for them, didn't it?

Plus you two have spent pretty much all of your lives being pranksters but now you want your parents to suddenly start treating you seriously and induct you into an organisation for fighting the worst dark lord of all time? Tell me, what important things have you done outside of quidditch and pranks?" Harry asked, he paused and waited for several moments but the twins did not answer. "That's what I thought, I'll be honest when I say that Sirius hasn't told me anything important about the order. Now if you'll excuse me, some of us have bigger stuff to worry about than what the next prank will be." Harry said before he turned around and went back into his room before closing the door.

Harry sighed before he walked back in and sat on his bed.

"You okay?" Harry asked Selena who had changed out of her tattoo form.

"I am fine, are you okay daddy?"

"Yeah, I am fine." Harry said in a soft voice, part of him thought he was over reacting and suggested that he forgive the twin but Harry chose to ignore that part.

He had too many important things to do, he couldn't have the twins bother him or waste time on two as immature as them. Plus Harry was not lying when he said they were acting like bullies, he had thought it several times in the past but had chosen not to say anything partly because he feared them turning on him but also out of a sense of feeling like he owed them for bringing him to the burrow plus the fact that the twins hadn't really hurt anyone too much, Harry had had worse at the Dursley's.

Old Harry was willing to pretend it was okay, new Harry was not. Harry knew bullies, plus as far as Harry was concerned any debts he owed the Weasley's were gone when he saved Ginny in the chamber.

Harry had just finished practising a spell when he was interrupted.

"Harry." A soft voice said followed by some light knocking. Harry grinned before he went to the door and opened it to reveal a nervous Ginny Weasley.

"Hi Ginny." Harry grinned before he pulled her in and closed the door. "Nobody saw you right?"

"I don't think so." Ginny said just as Harry closed the door.

"Good." Harry said as he placed her body between his own and the door, he leaned down to kiss her.

"Wait." Ginny, said causing Harry to stop. "I...I..."

"What's wrong Ginny?" Harry asked.

"It's just that whenever we snogged before it was never in a bedroom." Ginny explained.

"Oh." Harry said, realising what she meant. "It's alright Ginny, I am not going to pressure you to sleep with me or anything. Like I said, this is just two friends having fun."

"Oh...okay, thanks Harry." She said with a relived smile. "I know that we're snogging and all but I was kind of hoping to save...you know...for someone special."

"Alright first of all I am special," Harry grinned. "but I get it. So, snogging?"

"Snogging." Ginny grinned and the got to work.
