Slipped Away

Chapter 1: Worries and Memories

DISCLAIMER: Don't own it.

"Harry…are you ok?" I whispered to myself as the day grew shorter. The sun was slowly disappering behind the trees. I walked over to the window and sat down on the window sill. The inside of the burrow was sickening. I feel like I want to throw up. Being inside the burrow made me feel cramped and feeling like I couldn't stretch. I took my eyes off the setting sun, it was now just a glow of pink, and watched the lake. I felt a smile on my face.

"How many times have you fallen in that lake, Harry?" I let my mind wander.

Flashback

"Hey, Harry, wanna take a walk by the lake?"

"Sure Gin." Happiness filled within me. I felt like I needed to say something. ANYTHING. But somehow I couldn't open my mouth. We walked in silence. With everystep I took I felt like I couldn't breathe right. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME! I should be starting a conversation now! I think I waited to long! crap. Now I'm going to look stupid! Think Ginny think!

"So..." Harry was the one who broke the silence.

Ok, he said something . Now all you have to do is say something. A response. That's all you have to do...um..I don't know...

"So…" Ginny said mocking Harry.

"Don't you mock me!"

"Why not? It's not like you're my boyfriend?"

At this Harry started to blush. Harry turned away from her to avoid her seeing him blush, but it was too late.

Oh. My. God. Harry. Potter. is. blushing. because. of. something. I . said. I need to scream and jump up and down. I'll do that later.

"What?"

"Nothing"

"Tell me!"

"I- never mind."

"Fine! I'll just let that one slide but if it happens again. Don't expect to get off the hook. that fast."

"Why what are you going to do? A little midget is going to hurt me! help!! RUNAWAY!!"

I took off running after him. Boy, is he going to get it. We ran all the way to the other side of the lake. I almost got him...too bad he runs faster.

"Ok. I give up..but just because I'm short doesn't mean I can't hurt you!"

"Yeah. what ever Gin."

The sun started going down,now it was a pink color with a hint of gold still left. Harry looked at the sky and then down at me.

"I guess we should start heading back."

"Yeah, I guess."

We had stopped underneath a large willow tree. I looked up and I was speechless.. The last rays of the sun were shining through the cracks of the leaves making it seem they were in a large disco ball.

"Isn't this cool! I've never been here at this time befo-"

"Ginny?" I turned around to face Harry. The rays were dancing on his face and shirt, taunting me to come closer.

"Yeah?"

"I-I-never mind"

"Ok you are not getting away with that again! I let it slide the first time, but it's not going to happen again!"

I lunged toward Harry grabbing his wrists. Harry struggled against me but I held on.

"I live with 4 brothers. Do you really think you can out smart me?" I tossed my hair to the side with my head.

"Maybe."Then he smiled the crooked smile that I love. I think I just died.

Harry started to struggle to get loose, but the more he struggled the closer together we got. Harry moved toward the left Ginny mimicking him. Harry turned around with his arms over his head. Ginny did the same and grabbed a hold of Harry's elbows and pressed her self against him. Harry was shocked to be so close to her and lost his balance and fell back into the lake. Ginny still holding on to his elbows fell on top of him. Ginny got up quickly and helped Harry up. Ginny still holding on to Harry's hand turned him around, pushed him on to the grass making him lie down. Harry had fallen on his elbows. Ginny not wasting any time straddled his hips with her knees and put each of her hands in the grass on either side of Harry.

"Ok, you have thirty seconds to spit out what you were going to say."

"Do you really want to hear it?" said Harry looking away from her.

"Duh? Why would I tell you to say if I didn't want to hear it?"

"Because..." Harry looked up at her. Harry had just seen the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. Ginny, even with her hair and clothes soaked, looked so beautiful that he could not finish what he was saying. Ginny noticed this odd look on his face and recognized it immediately. Without saying a word Ginny leaned forward and came so close to Harry's face that their lips almost touched. Harry moved up a little closer by straightening out his arms. Then he spoke.

"Ginny," He whispered softly "Can I kiss you?"

"...Only if you promise to be gentle."

"I promise."

Then Harry closed the gap by inching a little closer. Ginny took her hands off the grass and placed them around Harry's neck. Harry, not being able to hold both of them up, let his arms down and wrapped them around her waist. I was the most sensational thing Ginny had even felt. Ginny had kissed a lot of boys at Hogwarts, but none of them ever felt like this. Harry finally broke off the kiss. Feeling as though all her happiness had been drained she pressed her head on to Harry's chest. Feeling the warmth of his body made her feel as though she had been born again. Night had fallen and neither of them cared as they slept there peacefully under the star-lit sky..until Fred and George have discovered them...but thats anther story.
