Harry and Ginny had become good friends in her fifth year. They always went to the lake during free periods and had become more confident throughout the years at Hogwarts just like Ginny. Ginny wanted more than a friendship, she wanted of them though were brave enough to admit their feelings to one another.
Ginny walked down to the lake to meet Harry but he wasn't there yet. She decided to go for a swim since the weather was so good. She set her things next to a tree with her robe. Ginny then jumped into and the water and glided through it as though it was like she was in the air. She just loved the feeling of the water against her skin. She felt like she was floating in nothing.
…
Harry walked down from the common room and walked down to the lake. When the lake came in view he saw a flash of red hair and assumed it was Ginny. When he got to the lake he leaned against the tree where all of Ginny's things were.
"Hey gin, what are you doing?" yelled Harry. Ginny was surprised when she heard his voice.
"I was just waiting for you," Ginny said as she made her way back to the shore.
"So you decided to go for a swim?" said Harry now looking at a very wet Ginny.
"Well it is nice today," said Ginny squeezing the water out of her hair.
"Here," said Harry passing her a towel.
"Where did you get a towel from?" Ginny said taking the towel from Harry.
" I summoned it from the prefects bathroom when you weren't looking," said Harry.
"Well thank you. Hey do you know a drying spell?" said Ginny
"Yes I do. Here" said Harry and performed a drying spell.
"Ok now that I'm not wet what do you want to do," said Ginny.
" It's your choice," said Harry.
"Well then let's walk and talk," said Ginny.
"Ok" said Harry. Then they set out for a walk. When they got near the boathouse they heard noises.
"Who's that? Do you wanna go see who it is" asked Ginny.
"I have no idea who it could be and yes I wanna go see who it is, "replied Harry.
They slowly went to a window and looked inside. Hermione and Ron were making out like crazy people. Harry and Ginny then quietly walked away.
"Since when did they start dating?" asked Ginny.
"Who knows? Ron never said anything, did Hermione say anything to you," asked Harry.
"She never told me anything but she seems to be more happier these last few days, "said Ginny.
"Well let's talk about something else. How are you and Dean?" said Harry.
"I…well I already broke up with him yesterday," explained Ginny. Harry felt so happy that she wasn't dating Dean anymore. He remembered that time when he caught Ginny and Dean making out behind the tapestry that day he wanted to kill Dean. But he had no idea why he always didn't like them being together.
'It's because you love her'
'Who said that?'
'Me your conscious'
"I don't love her'
'Yes you do'
'How do you know?'
'I'm you I know how much you love her'
'Fine I do but she is still my best friend's little sister and I don't want to do anything to sabotage my friendship with Ginny or Ron'
"Oh well that's too bad. How come you guys broke up?" said Harry snapping back to reality.
"He always treated me like I couldn't do anything for myself, " said Ginny.
"Well it's starting to get dark outside so we should start our homework. We can work in the library if you want," said Harry
"You're right we should do our homework and the library would probably be the best place to do it," said Ginny
They made their way back up to the castle and took a seat in the back of the library.
"I hate Snape. He is always giving me tons of homework and assignments, "said Ginny.
"Everyone hates Snape except maybe for Slytherins, "said Harry. 'I love her laugh' he thought
"Well I don't think I'll finish this essay on polyjuice," said Ginny.
"I can help if you want," replied Harry. Harry walked over to the back of her chair and leaned over. He explained all he knew about polyjuice potions even though he didn't know much.
" Thanks Harry," Ginny said turning around to have her face only an inch away from his. Harry leaned forward and kissed her attentively yet passionately. She kissed him back with the same amount of passion. They separated after what seemed to be like a century.
"Your welcome," said Harry.
'Harry just kissed me'
'I just kissed Ginny'
"What now?" asked Ginny
"Well you've finished your homework and I've finished with my homework, so how about we go back to my room and talk there," said Harry. (a/n He is headboy so he has his own room.)
"Ok," said Ginny and they walked to the common room in silence.
"Perfectus totalis," said Harry to the Fat Lady and she swung open. Harry grabbed Ginny's hand and led her towards his room.
When the door opened you could see Gryffindor hangings on the wall along with many pictures. Ginny walked in and put her stuff on a nearby chair.
"This room is fantastic," said Ginny sitting down on his bed.
"It's nothing too fantastic," Harry replied taking a seat next to her.
"Well, what now?" said Ginny.
"I'm not sure," replied Harry.
"Ok. Why did you kiss me?" said Ginny.
"I guess it's because I...I like you and you look so beautiful," said Harry.
"Since when have you liked me?" asked Ginny.
"I think since my second year but I barely admitted it to myself this year" said Harry.
"Well it's nice to know," said Ginny. He leaned in and kissed her. They fell backwards on the bed still kissing with Ginny on the bottom. Ginny's arms were around his neck playing with his hair and his hands on her waist. Ginny shivered at the feeling of his chest on her body. Harry pulled back and stared at her for a while and sat back up.
"What's the matter?" asked Ginny kneeling behind him with her chin on his shoulder and arms around him.
"Don't you think we're moving too fast?" asked Harry.
"You know you are the most caring guy I've met any other guy would just go straight to it. I like that about you," said Ginny
"Will you be my girlfriend?" asked Harry.
"Yes, I will," answered Ginny. Ginny kissed Harry on the lips.
"Should we tell Hermione and Ron?" asked Harry.
"I don't know. Let's see, if they tell us about them before tomorrow. If they don't then we'll tell them about us first," said Ginny.
"Ok. But then we will have to keep this a secret and that means no kissing in public," said Harry.
"We could come here after classes. This would probably be the safest place to come," said Ginny.
"Perfect. So I'll see you tomorrow during a free period here," said Harry.
"Goodnight," Ginny said giving Harry a goodnight kiss before she left.
