Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter this all comes from the great J.K. Rowling
"I love you Ginny" Harry said aloud as he paced in the empty Gyffindor Common room. Harry was practicing it over and over and the more he did, the more courage he gained to say it to her.
"I love you Ginny" he said as he finally felt comfortable enough with the words. Hermione and Ron were off "studying" in the library ,but Harry knew better than that. He wished he and Ginny had more "study" time.
The portrait hole opened suddenly as Hermione and Ron came walking in both looking very flushed and disoriented. "How was studying?" Harry asked simply.
"I learned loads" Ron blushed at Hermione. She glared back disapprovingly. Harry sighed, he hoped his friends would confide in him soon about their relationship, but he respected that they wished to keep it secret.
"How's everything with you and Ginny?" Hermione asked pulling out a piece of parchment and a quill. "Brilliant" he smiled, he had not yet told them he was going to tell Ginny he loved her tonight.
"They keep their secrets I'll keep mine" Harry thought slyly. "Great" Hermione said as she dipped her quill into the ink bottle. Ron eyed Harry suspiciously but kept his mouth shut, which Harry found to be quite surprising.
"I'll see you two later...I've got to go to the Owlery" Harry said jumping out of the sofa. "Have fun, Harry" Hermione said distractedly, she was gazing at Ron continuosly.
Harry nearly ran out of the common room everything was set, he had went through alot to make everything perfect for his and Ginny's special moment. Harry had set up roses to be delivered to her at the exact moment of their first kiss...and he had a beautiful dinner waiting for them in the Room of Requirement.
Harry was in such a rush he didn't notice that he had ran into someone. He gasped. "Sorry" he said quickly. "Harry?" a dreamy voice answered. "Luna?" Harry said a little shocked. Harry hadn't seen Luna all year, in fact he had been so busy with Ginny he barely even thought about her ,even though she had been with him to the Department of Mysteries.
"Harry it's so good to see you" she said gathering him up into a hug. Harry took a good look at her, she looked quite nice today, a little different than he had remembered her. Her bottlecap necklace still around her neck and instead of radish earrings, she wore red hearts ones that flashed red.
Her hair was straighter than before and she was wearing normal clothing."Luna it's great to see you too" he hugged her back, he had missed her. "I've seen you and Ginny around I'm very happy for you two" Luna said her dreamy expression slightly fading.
"Yeah, were doing great actually" Harry said looking at his watch. "Luna look I'm so sorry to do this to you but I have plans." he said to her. "Oh, right...of course see you later then Harry" Luna walked off quickly before Harry could reply.
Harry watched her leave, then he sped toward the Great Hall to get Ginny. As he walked in he noticed how full it was but he spotted Ginny immediately her bright red hair shining in the light.
Hermione and Ron weren't there yet which didn't surprise him at all. He walked up behind Ginny smiling. "Ginny" he whispered in her ear. Ginny turned around blushing "Harry there you are" she smiled kissing him on the cheek.
Harry checked his watch once more, as the Great Hall started to fill up. He grew more nervous as the time passed. "You ok..you seem pale." she looked at him worriedly. "I'm fine." Harry said in a strained smile.
"Well eat something, you should be starving." she said as she dug into her plate. "No I'm fine you know what...you should wait to eat to." he said trying not to reveal his plan."Why" Ginny said curiously.
"Well I.." "Harry!" Ron interrupted as he grabbed a plate and started filling it with food. Hermione was close behind him. "Now why should I be eating?" Ginny looked at him. "Do you think I'm fat or something?" Ginny glared. "No.no I would never think that!" Harry said quickly.
Suddenly many owls came swooping in, everyone turned wondering who would recieve an owl this late. The owls came right above Ginny dropping dozens of roses near her. "Ginny"...Harry said nervously.
For some strange reason the Great Hall had became completely silent. "I love you" he said relieved that he finally said it. Ginny was so shocked all she could do was cry "I love you too,Harry" she replied and they kissed passionately for a few seconds.
Nearly all the girl's in the Great Hall were in tears, even Hermione. Harry gave Ginny a long hug and when he looked up he saw a certain blonde Ravenclaw lock eyes with him. Harry felt a pang of guilt as she got up and left, nobody noticing except for Harry.
