Author's Note: Okay. Hi Everybody. I keep trying to write Harry Potter
fiction with a reduced amount of Americanisms or Canadianisms (as is the
case) and I keep hoping I'm doing well. Thank You. This is set in Ginny's
fifth year and Harry's sixth. Over Harry's fifth and Ginny's forth year
they became friends.

Ginny Weasley was cold. She had no clue what had urged her to go for a walk in the cold and she was getting fed up with it quick. She walked in the castle and strait into something warm- correction someone warm. She looked up into a pair of starling green eyes. He was taller now; He looked down at Ginny suppressing a laugh. "I was just coming to find you." He said happily. He seemed happier then he'd been in a long time.
"Why is that Mr. Potter? Do you need help falsifying your Divination homework again?" She asked playfully as they started walking towards Gryffindor Tower together.
"No actually I wanted to tell you that you missed a great show." Harry continued at Ginny's confused look. "Your brother and Hermione." Ginny laughed.
" Which one?" which prompted a confused look from Harry. "Which Brother, I have seven you must remember." Ginny thought she heard him mumble 'I remember' but she didn't get a chance to ask before Harry replied "Ron, of course."
"What happened this time? Did he steal another one of her books from her?"
"No, he kissed her." Ginny stopped dead in her tracks, Harry kept walking. "Are you serious?" she asked in a tone that meant she thought it was highly unlikely, jogging to catch up with him.
"Why would I lie?"
"You're right, you have no motivation. Now I expect a full recount! I want details!"
"Now Miss. Weasley, do I look like a gossip?" Harry said with a smile, a real smile.
"No Harry, you look like a kind generous young wizard who would never let your best mate's little sister go without good material for blackmail. Mum would have a field day if she knew Ron kissed Hermione. She swore Hermione would make the first move-"
"What?" Harry interrupted. "Your Mother knows about Ron and Hermione?"
"Harry, she's not deaf dumb and blind-"
"I didn't say she was. I think your mothers grand."
"No you didn't and she thinks very highly of you too- but as I was saying you'd have to be pretty dense not to notice those two." Harry laughed.
"I didn't notice till forth year."
"As I was saying," Ginny said with a laugh. "You'd have to be pretty dense."
"Do you want to know what happened or not? I don't have to tell you."
"Yes you do. I'm the only person you have to talk to now that they'll be busy snogging." She said grinning.
"You're assuming that Hermione didn't slap him."
"She likes how Ron's face looks to much to mar it."
"Moving on from that." Harry said. "It was just odd, that's all. Ron was sitting there- staring at her with the weirdest look on his face. All of a sudden she put down her book and yelled at him, to quote, 'Ron Weasley either take a picture or stop staring!' - He up and kissed her." Ginny started giggling.
"I hate giggling you know." Harry said after Ginny had giggled for some time. Ginny stopped giggling and walking, again Harry kept walking but soon enough he stopped and went back to face her. "I didn't mean to insult you or anything Ginny, its just it drives me right batty." Ginny just smiled.
"Someday you'll hear someone giggle and it will sound like one of the best things you've ever heard Mr. Potter. Mark my words." Harry just stared at her contemplating- when Ginny took off running, yelling back to him while giggling, "Last one back to the tower eats a Canary Cream!"
In that second Harry had to admit, she was right.
