The wind whipped around Harry and Ginny. It was another Hogsmeade trip and Hermione and Ron had ditched them. It had been warmer earlier in the day so Ginny hadn't brought a jacket. Her teeth chattered together and she shivered. Harry laughed quietly. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her against him, before he wrapped his robe around her.

"Thanks," Ginny mumbled as she curled up against his warm body. Harry slipped his arm around her waist.

"You should have brought a jacket," he mumbled.

"It was warmer earlier," Ginny said quietly. It was hard for her to concentrate when Harry was holding her so close. She could hear her heart beat in her ears. Being brave, she decided to wrap her arm around his waist, causing him to hold her closer.

"That's true, it was warmer."

As they made their way up to the castle Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle stopped them.

"Oh look it's Potter and the littlest Weasel. Sucking up to rich now?" Malfoy sneered.

"Shut up Malfoy," Harry snapped. He continued to walk away from them.

"Hey Potter, when you're done with her send her my way," Malfoy called back to him.

Harry spun on his heels, almost knocking Ginny over, and his fist connected with Malfoy's jaw. Malfoy fell back into his friends, knocking them over. "I said shut up Malfoy!"

Ginny pulled Harry back away from the three. "Come on Harry," she said quickly. Harry turned and followed Ginny. His fists were clenched and his face was red with fury. He flexed his fingers.

The two made their way up towards the castle. Ginny kept glancing at Harry, who wouldn't say anything to her. Suddenly he stopped.

"Harry?" Ginny asked concerned.

Harry shrugged off his robe and wrapped it around Ginny's shoulders. "I have something I need to take care of," he said before he hurried back in the direction they had come.

Ginny watched him go, a frown on her face. What in the world is he up to? She wondered. It took her a moment to realize he had given her his robe. With a sigh she took off running after him. He had disappeared around a turn.

When Ginny came around the turn she stopped. Harry stood in front of Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle. Malfoy was spitting out blood. Ginny moved behind a small tree, so she wouldn't be seen.

"What the hell do you want Potter?" Malfoy snapped.

"Stay the hell away from me and my friends," Harry said calmly.

"Why would I want to hang around with you, that Mudblood, and that blood traitor?"

"Why do you have to be an arse all the time?"

"I don't like you Potter, and I sure don't want to get near your kind. But I am sure I can get to you somehow. Everyone's got their weakness. I'm sure my lord will be pleased if he thinks you are going out with that filth. So tell me, how much does she pay you to sleep with her?"

"Leave Ginny out of this," Harry said with a growl.

"Come on Potter, you can tell us. How good is she in bed?"

"I said leave her out of this!"

"Getting defensive aren't you," Malfoy said with a sneer. "I don't blame you though, I'm sure she can't be too bad in bed. If you don't want her, then I will be sure to take a turn at her."

"If you so much as touch Ginny I will make sure you're dead. Don't you even think of touching her you bastard."

"What did you come back here for anyway? Just to taunt me?"

"I came to warn you, you stupid prick. You can go crawling back to that filth you serve and tell him once I'm done with you, he's next."

"Cute Potter, real cute. You couldn't kill me even if you tried. But hey, when My Lord ends your life I'll be real sure to take care of that little Weasel."

Harry took a step forward. "You'll be dead long before Voldemort. This is your last warning stay the hell away from Ginny!" He turned to walk off.

"Tell me Potter, how long have you been in love with her?" Malfoy called.

Ginny held her breath. She was leaning a bit further so she could hear.

"What makes you think I'm in love with her?" Harry asked, half turning to look at Malfoy.

"Well no one would protect such trash unless they loved them. It's obvious. Just admit it, she'll die whether you love her or not."

"What the hell would you know about love anyway Malfoy? You're just another heartless bastard who serves a pathetic half-blood, who thinks he can destroy his own kind."

"I know about love Potter. Some of us aren't heartless," Malfoy snapped.

"Maybe you do, maybe you don't, but I will kill you if you touch her."

Malfoy laughed and the three of them walked towards Harry. Malfoy stopped just beside him. "Then tell her you love her you arse," he said as he walked off.

Harry watched the three go, not saying anything. Ginny stood by the tree, watching him for a few moments. With a sigh she turned and walked off towards the lake.

What the hell just happened back there? I've never seen Malfoy act like that before. And what did Harry mean by all of that.

Ginny couldn't believe what she had just seen. What really got to her was that she couldn't tell what Harry was thinking. With another sigh she sat down by the lake, pulling Harry's school robe tighter around herself.

"I shouldn't get my hopes up," she said quietly to herself. "He couldn't possibly like me in that way. He's probably just being overprotecting like my brothers."

But Ginny didn't want to believe what she was saying. She didn't want another brother. It just seemed like she couldn't catch a break.

Why? Why did I have to fall in love with Harry? She whined to herself.

Harry was making his way up to the castle when he saw Ginny sitting out by the lake. He slowly made his way towards her.

"Stupid Potter," she said bitterly.

Harry stopped suddenly, moving out of sight. What's wrong with Ginny?

"Stupid bloody Potter," she said weakly. Ginny suddenly got to her feet and started pacing. "What is the matter with me? Why can't I get him out of my head?" she moaned.

Harry frowned.

"I knew I shouldn't have fallen in love with him, I knew I shouldn't have but I couldn't help it," she continued on, unaware of her audience. "But no, my heart had to go against me. He's never going to think of me as more than a friend. From the very first moment I saw him, I loved him," she whined as she dropped to her knees.

Harry stepped forward. "Ginny," he said quietly.

She didn't hear him. "Harry," she said weakly.

With a half smile he moved closer to her, finally kneeling behind her. She still didn't know he was there, her mind a million miles away. Cautiously he wrapped his arms around her waist. Ginny jumped and fell backwards against him, knocking both of them backwards.

Harry smiled down at her, Ginny's eyes wide. "Harry?" She asked confused.

"Ginny," he said, his green eyes bright.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, you shouldn't talk to yourself, people might overhear."

Ginny's eyes went wider, if possible. "H-H-How m-much did you hear?"

"Enough," he said gently as he brushed a lock of red hair from her eyes. Ginny shivered at the contact.

Ginny swallowed. "Oh."

He just smiled at her, his green eyes searching her brown ones. Ginny felt unnerved by his stare. Instead she tried to pull out of his arms. She thought he was going to let her up when he suddenly pulled her down into his lap. Surprised she gazed at him, confusion clear on her face. She was turned to face him, straddling his lap.

"And where do you think you are going?" He questioned in a low voice.

"I-I'm not really sure," she admitted quietly. In all honestly she couldn't really think of anything to say. Her heart was racing in her chest and she could feel Harry's hands on her hips. He just gazed at her, smiling.

"So, how long have you been in love with me?" He asked suddenly.

Ginny blushed bright red and dropped her head, realizing that her hands were on his shoulders. Harry lifted her head up so she had to look at him. He just waited for her to answer. "Since I met you on the platform."

"Five years," he said quietly. "Good."

"Good?" She asked surprised. "Why is that good?"

"Because…"

"Because why?"

"Because that's how long I've been in love with you," he whispered as he leaned towards her. Ginny gasped. "I'm not lying," he told her quietly.

Ginny just gazed at him, before she could think she threw her arms around him, knocking him backwards, and kissed him hard on the lips. Harry, startled, took a moment to realize what had just happened. When he did he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back for all she was worth.

He poured all of his feelings into this kiss, loving the feeling of her lips against his. Ginny kissed him back with the same emotions. Suddenly she pulled back, gasping for air.

"I-I didn't mean to-" Ginny started to say but Harry pulled her head back down to his. He rolled her onto her back, kissing her passionately. Ginny melted against him, her hands holding his head down to hers. She could feel everywhere his body touched hers and the position of his hands on her sides.

His tongue caressed her lips and she opened her mouth to his tongue. Harry slowly pulled away from her, both of them panting heavily. Ginny's cheeks were flushed, her lips slightly swollen, and her eyes closed. Harry's eyes were clouded over, his breathing labored, and he fought to keep from snogging her senseless again.

Ginny slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were clouded over as well. Harry smiled down at her. "Wow," she said quietly.

"Definitely," he whispered.

Ginny turned to look at him, a small smile on her face. Harry was still lying on top of her, keeping his weight off of her as much as he could. She ran her hand through his hair, loving the silky feeling of his hair. Her hand came to rest on his cheek. With a small smile he turned to kiss her palm.

Harry leaned down, until his nose was just touching hers. "Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked her quietly.

"Yes," she said without a second thought.

"Finally," Malfoy said from not far away. The two turned to look at him, neither of them moving. "Took you long enough Potter."

Harry just laughed. "Well it may have taken longer, thanks."

"Yes, thanks."

"Ah, it was nothing."

"Come on Draco," Pansy called from not far away.

"Coming," Draco said as he hurried over to Pansy.

Ginny and Harry just laughed. Harry slowly moved off of her and leaned against one of the trees. Ginny slowly got up and moved to sit between his legs. She pulled off his robe and leaned back against him. Harry wrapped his arms around her waist and Ginny pulled the robe over herself. He set his head on her shoulder.

Ginny smiled to herself. It seemed as if things weren't completely hopeless after all. Harry kissed her neck. "So which one of us is telling your brothers?" He asked with a grin.
