"Ginny, can you come over here, please?" requests Harry.
A started expression appears on Ginny's face, but she crosses the Burrow's kitchen to where Harry was standing, and together they walk outside. After walking a distance away from the door so they could have a private chat, Harry pulls on Ginny's right arm, and faces her towards him. Standing roughly two feet apart, Harry puts his left hand on Ginny's shoulder, and said, "Ginny, we both like each other, correct?"
"That is correct." answers Ginny.
"Well, I have an idea that might, erm, help us, erm...rekindle interest in one another. That is, if you're interested in giving me another chance." said Harry hopefully.
Ginny narrows her eyes, puts her hands on her hips, and pauses to think before replying. On one hand, Harry and I have dated before. However he did break up with me at Professor Dumbledore's funeral ceremony. Maybe I should give him another chance to rectify a particularly stressful time in his life. "Alright, I'll give your idea a shot, whatever it is." replied Ginny.
Yes! I got her to agree to give me another shot! "Thanks Ginny, you won't regret it." said Harry happily. "I'm going to go finish my preparations and then we can leave in an hour or so, ok?"
"Sure, I'll be in my room when you're done." stated Ginny before walking back to the Burrow.
Knocking on Ginny's third floor bedroom door, Harry hears the sound of footsteps moving quickly, as if to quickly straighten up the room, before the door opens, revealing a slightly out of breath Ginny. Giving her room one last look, Ginny closes the bedroom door behind her, and she and Harry walk down the stairs, and out of the door to the awaiting outside world. After a few moments, they turn to face each other, and Harry asks, "Are you ready to go?"
Giving Harry a withering glare, "Why would I follow you out here if I wasn't ready? Silly Harry."
Sighing, Harry grabs Ginny's right hand in his left hand, and Harry does Side-Along Apparition to a place of Harry's choosing. Appearing in a cave, Harry continues his grasp on Ginny's hand, and leads her towards the light looming ahead of them. A few minutes later they arrive at a cliff overlooking a large valley filled with blooming trees and a mountain range on the horizon. With rock walls on either side of them, and a small waterfall running in the middle of the cliff down into the valley, Harry stops, pulls out his moleskin pouch, and out came a large blanket and a picnic basket.
After emptying the contents of the picnic basket orderly onto the blanket, the couple begin to eat a nice leisurely meal, watching the sun drop lower and lower in the sky. Pulling out two wine glasses and a bottle of firewhiskey, Harry fills the glasses, and they sit side by side, sip at their drinks, and watch the sun slip over the mountain range. Filled with liquid courage, Harry turns his face towards Ginny's face and catches a question look, and moves in and presses his lips to her soft lips. After a minute of this, the kiss is broken at the same time by both, and while Harry blushes, Ginny is a much darker shade of red.
Quickly cleaning up their area before the temperature dropped too much, Harry and Ginny quickly apparate back to the Burrow.
Arriving back at the Burrow with a loud crack, Mrs. Weasley rushes out and yells, "Where in the world were you two?! Do you know much we were worried when you two didn't show up fo dinner?"
"Mum, Harry took me on a romantic date. Don't worry, we're fine." answers Ginny, in an exasperated tone of voice.
Narrowing her eyes, Mrs. Weasley retorts, "Fine. Then you're coming inside and explaining to the entire family while their dinner was delayed", dragging two pair inside to where the rest of the family was waiting.
Once in front of the family, Harry and Ginny take turns detail their outing to the rest of the family. Finishing up, Harry turns to Ginny and asks, "Ginny, will you be my girlfriend again?"
Bouncing with giddiness, Ginny smiles and speaks, "Yes Harry, I will."
Turning to Mrs. Weasley, both Harry and Ginny state, "We're going to bed. Good night", and proceed to go upstairs to Ginny's room.
Arriving at Ginny's room, she walks in, closes the door half way and says, "Thank you Harry. Tonight was...beyond my expectations. I hope we can do this again some time soon", kisses Harry on the lips, and closes the door. Harry apparates back to number 12 Grimmauld Place, which had all of it's protective barriers replaced.
