Based off the song Perfect by Ed Sheeren.
Perfect was a strong word, Harry thought as he lay down in his four poster bed. These last two weeks at Hogwarts had been just that, perfect. He was doing well in his classes, Ron and Hermione were being friendly with one another, and Gryffindor had won the Quidditch cup. Oh and of course he was finally dating the girl he had been pine after for almost an entire school year.
He and Ginny couldn't spend enough time with each other, especially with Hermione constantly reminding Ginny about her studies. Damn Ordinary Wizard Level's. Sure they got to spend some time with one another, but it just wasn't enough in Harry's opinion.
Harry rolled onto his back, he knew he would never fall asleep if he didn't try to clear his mind. He heard the door to the dorm creak slightly. Figuring it was just one of his roommates needing to walk around for awhile. He couldn't blame them, with everything going on within the world, there was a lot that needed to be thought about.
The hanging around Harry's bed swayed as if a gust of wind had blown through the room. Turning in the direction of the movement Harry saw a beautiful chocolate brown eyes looking back at him. He could feel his pulse start to race. He knew those eyes. He couldn't get enough of them.
"Hi Harry," Ginny whispered. She had a glint in her eye that Harry had seen quite a few times in her older twin brothers.
"Ginny, what are you doing up here?" Harry questioned trying to keep calm, "Is something wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong. I was just wondering if you fancied a walk?"
"Right now? It's after curfew."
Ginny gave a small laugh, "And when has that ever stopped you before?"
Harry couldn't help but grin. She was right of course, he never was one for curfews.
"Besides someone in this room owns an invisibility cloak, and I feel as if that could be used to our advantage." She continued.
"And what if your brother wakes up and notices i'm not in bed?" Harry asked. He knew Ron was working through the fact that his best mate and his sister were dating, but he doubted he would like the idea of them going off and being together at such a late time.
Ginny looked over towards her brother, who was snoring away. "That boy sleeps like a log, We will be fine. Besides Hermione already said she would cover for us."
Harry gawked at her. "Hermione gave us permission to be out after curfew. How did you manage that?"
Ginny smirked at him. "Oh I have my ways. So come on" Without waiting for him to say a definite yes, she went into his trunk and grabbed out his cloak. She then grabbed his hand and led him to the door.
"Wait I don't have on shoes or anything," Harry protested. He had snuck out before, but at least he was usual dressed in regular clothing and had on shoes.
"Who needs shoes, besides our bare feet will make less noise." Ginny said not looking back.
They made their way down the boys staircase. Stopping in the common room to put the cloak on them, Ginny led the way out of the castle. They saw no one, heard no one. Harry did have to admit that their bare feet did make slightly less noise than when he went on his other night time wonderings.
Harry started to wonder what Ginny was planning. They were now out on the grounds. Cool summer air was blowing around them. Harry shivered slightly. They made their way towards the lake, to their usual secluded spot. Reaching the point she had planned, Ginny took the cloak off the two of them.
"I thought it would be nice to just be with one another for a while, no thoughts of school, Hermione and her studying schedule, or the outside world. Just you and me," Ginny took his hands as she told him this.
Harry felt a warm smile grace his lips. "Oh I like the way you think Miss Weasley."
Ginny returned the smile right back, however her eyes glimmered in a mischievous way. She took her hands away from Harry's, reaching into her pocket she pulled out a small wireless. Placing it on the ground, she turned it til a soft melody played.
Looking back up at Harry she said, "You remember the Yule Ball?"
Harry felt puzzled, "Yeah I remember it. Fearing I would make a fool of myself in front of three different school. How could I forget."
"Well you know how Ron asked me to go with you, I think it's time I finally get to dance with the famous Harry Potter."
She was smiling at him. He couldn't refuse that smile and her eyes were connected right with his. He felt warm just from looking into those eyes. It seemed like the rest of the world was removed and all Harry could focus on were those eyes.
Harry rubbed the back of his neck with one hand and held out the other. "Ok Weasley, I'll take you on, but if I step on your toes it's your own fault."
She accepted his hand, as he pulled her close. He started to sway with the sound of the music. Ginny moved right along with him, following his lead.
This was different than the Yule Ball. He didn't feel awkward at all. It actually felt, well perfect. He looked down at the girl in his arms. It was like he was dancing with an angel. Ginny was so graceful and beautiful.
Green met brown again and Harry felt as if he could stay like this forever. He could imagine him and Ginny dancing together with grey streaks in their hair. He wanted to stay like this forever. Neither of them noticed that the song had ended and there was just static. Neither of them wanted to move for this spot or time.
A summer breeze blew in messing up their hair, well at least Ginny's hair.
Ginny gave a small laugh, "Of course the wind would mess up my hair. Now I feel like a mess." She made to pull away, but Harry pulled her back continuing to sway. She smiled and put her head on his chest.
"You look perfect," He whispered, thinking she was couldn't hear him. She looked up into his face and eyes shining with happiness. He leaned down to give her a gentle kiss.
