Authors note: this is an idea that's been poking into my mind every minute or so. What if Harry and Ginny got together in Harry's third year? Slightly AU-ish but follows the series. This chapter you're going to read will be Harry's feelings in the second year, more like a prologue than a proper chapter.

During Harry Potter's first year, he loved to do nothing more than sit down with Ron Weasley and hear the tales of Ron's family. He heard stories of cool Bill, dragon fanatic Charlie, perfect Percy, and the troublesome twins. The one person that grabbed Harry's attention the most was Ginny Weasley, Ron's baby sister. He heard all about her adventures that put Fred and George to shame. She was brave, pretty and intelligent. A perfect mixture of her brothers.

When the twins and Ron saved Harry from the Dursleys, Harry finally got to meet Ginny. She came running down to the breakfast table, she took one look at Harry and froze. Harry couldn't take his eyes of her; she had long fiery hair and dark brown eyes. She was pale but not too pale with a few freckles delicately splattered on her nose. Harry went pink, she wasn't pretty, she was perfect. He looked away and Ginny ran off.

He admired the way she stood up for him in the book shop, but was too shy to tell her. He wanted to talk to her at dinner but was too nervous. He wanted to sit next to her on the Hogwarts express but wasn't able too. His insides were jumping for joy when he found out she was in Gryffindor as well, it meant he could watch her in the common room when he was playing chess with Ron-err I mean doing homework.

She grew paler and even shyer over the months. Harry would even say scared, she looked so sick and ill. He was tempted to drag her to madam prompfrey, but he never did. He wanted to ask her if she was all right but again was too shy.

He was furious when he found out she was taken into the chamber. When Ron was with his brothers, Harry punched his pillow to death. He went down, there for her not Ron, her. He thought he was going to die when he saw her just laying there. He wanted to rip Tom Riddle to shreds but he didn't. He almost died for her, when the basilisk's fang went through his arm. He held her hand briefly and thought that if he was going to die at least he'll die with her. Then he remembered Tom's taunting. Tom read out Ginny's thoughts to Harry. She fancied him as well. So he stabbed the diary and watch Tom disappear.

Ginny woke up, Harry was going to die but at least Ginny will be all right. Then Fawkes healed him. Harry looked up and made eye contact with Ginny. He then pulled her into a hug.

"Don't ever, I repeat ever do that again" he whispered

"I'm sorry Harry, I am so sorry." Ginny cried.

"It's all right, everyone's safe now" he pulled her back to look at her again and then leaned forward, he gently kissed her on the forehead. He was to shy to try kissing her on the lips.

Ginny started to act like Ginny again, (according to Ron) and Harry spent some time talking to her. Telling her about his first year (which was just as dangerous as this year) he got over his shyness but was still too shy to make a move.

They got of the train and before Ginny went off to hug her mother Harry pulled her back.

"Write to me?" he asked

She nodded.

"I might not be able to write back but I gave Ron my phone number so call me as well" Harry said. He let her go and she stayed there for a second. Before she quickly hugged him.

She ran off towards her mother leaving Harry there on the platform. That's when Harry decided Ginny was the one for him.
