Harry Potter chapter one

Ginny Weasley was sitting by the lake, taking in her thoughts. The sadness she was facing for the past three days was almost unbearable. And what's more, Harry hadn't talked to her since the battle. It's like he was afraid she would start crying all over him. "But I'm not going to do that," she told herself. She had already cried out all of her tears over the past few days.

She stood up, deciding that she needed to do something. 'Find Harry,' she thought, and headed toward the Gryffindor Common room. Ginny didn't need to go that far because Harry was coming out of the Great Hall from lunch. They both stopped in their tracks. Hermione grabbed Ron's arm and tugged, leading him up the marble staircase and leaving Harry and Ginny alone.

"Er. . .hi," Harry said awkwardly. Suddenly, she forgot all she wanted to tell him. The only thing she wanted was for Harry to hold her. And this is why she did what she did next. She walked up to him and allowed their lips to connect.

At first, Harry seemed surprised by her actions. But once he had gotten over his shock, he was kissing her with just as much as intensity as he was receiving from Ginny.

After a few minutes, though, they had to separate because more students were coming out of the Great Hall.

Both of their faces were red as people continued to look at them as they passed. "Let's go. We need to talk," Harry whispered to Ginny, who nodded. He took her hand and led her through the oak front doors to exactly the same spot beside the lake that she had just abandoned. They both sat down beside each other.

"So. . .," Harry began. Ginny sat there for a minute, waiting for him to continue. He finally did after several minutes.

"Ginny, there's been something I've wanted to tell you for a long time," he said. The he told her EVERYTHING. He told her about Dumbledore, about the horcruxes, about the Deathly Hallows, about his adventures while he was away, about Voldemort, and about the prophecy. He stopped to catch his breath and looked at Ginny. She looked quite upset.

A tear slid out of her eye and Harry wiped it away. Ginny laughed and said, "I promised I wouldn't cry. I know you can't stand it when girls cry. I'm sorry." She looked ashamed of herself.

Now it was Harry's turn to laugh. "Ginny," he said. "What upsets me are girls who cry over stupid things, like Cho did. But I can't say that I've ever seen you cry before this. So I know when you cry, you mean it. I've cried more than you have in public, and that's saying something considering you're a girl."

She looked at him sternly. "No offense," Harry added, and she smiled. She looked up at him, kissed him, than laid her head on his shoulders.

Ginny must have been really tired, because when she woke up, it was dark and she could hear Harry snoring beside of her. She whispered softly, "Wake up, Harry." He stirred, than opened his eyes.

"Good morning," he said, completely unaware of his surroundings.

Ginny laughed. "Morning? It's only midnight." Harry laughed too. He had gotten into trouble before so the prospect of going back to castle with Ginny didn't bother him, especially since he had his dad's old Invisibility Cloak. He took it out and they both stood up. Actually, Harry stood up, than helped Ginny up. "We better get back to the Common Room. I bet Hermione and Ron are worried about us," Ginny said, and they put the Invisibility Cloak on, heading for the castle.
