Something there that wasn't there before
Harry and Ginny were the only ones still outside, the rest had retired from the snowball fight due to either fatigue or being cold.
Ginny patted another snowball together and waited for a sign of Harry. A moment later the top of his head was seen peeking over a snow pile.
She took aim, chucked it and BOOM! Square in the head. Ginny stifled a chuckle as she heard Harry's shocked "Oy!" float over the snow.
Her mind flitted momentarily back to her first few years at Hogwarts. She didn't even think Harry knew she was alive. He considered her a friend now. She wanted him as more but knew he didn't like her 'like that'.
Ginny sighed and was suddenly hit in the neck by a freezing cold snowball. She shrieked, thoroughly unprepared for it. She saw the apologetic look on his face, and she melted. Accidentally falling backwards into the snow.
'There's something sweet and almost kind.' 'But he was mean and he was coarse and unrefined.' 'And now he's dear and so I'm sure.' 'I wonder why I didn't see it there before.'
Harry hurried to Ginny's side. He hadn't meant to catch her so off guard with that last snowball. He looked down at her ready to apologize when she met his glance.
For a moment he was speechless. He knew what he wanted to say, but the words were lodged in his throat. She smiled up at him, shivering slightly.
Harry had never realized how deep her eyes were before. "I'm sorry. You ok?" He finally got out; she nodded. Blushing red.
Harry extended his hand to help her up; Ginny's smile widened and she took the offered hand.
'She glanced this way, I thought I saw.' 'And when we touched she didn't shudder at my scar.' 'No, it can't be. I'll just ignore.' 'But then, she's never looked at me that way before.'
As Harry helped her up, she glanced into his eyes. *Those eyes* Ginny thought *Those beautiful green eyes* she blushed, realizing that she was staring into Harry's eyes.
For a moment, just a moment Ginny thought she saw his cheeks and ears redden a little. *Must be the cold* she thought; as an involuntary shiver ran through her body.
Catching her completely off guard; Harry took off his cloak and wrapped it around her. Ginny's already blushing face got even redder. And it got even redder when Harry put his arm around her.
"I think we need to get you back up to the castle and warm you up." He smiled sheepishly, leading Ginny in the direction of Hogwarts huge main doors.
'New, and a bit alarming.' 'Who'd have ever thought that this could be.' 'True, that he's no Prince Charming.' 'But, there's something in him I simply didn't see.'
Ron stood watching his best friend and sister . He felt protective of her, sure. But it was Harry, Ron knew deep down that he would never do anything to hurt Ginny. He smiled inwardly as he put his arm around Hermione.
'Well, who'd have thought.'
Hermione snuggled closer to Ron as she watched Harry and Ginny from the window of the Gryffindor common room. She smiled, Ron and herself had been trying to hook those two up since the beginning of fifth year.
'Well bless my soul.'
Ron looked down at Hermione and smiled. Their plan was working perfectly. And without their help too.
'Well, who'd have thought.'
Hermione looked back at Ron. *I'm so happy for them* She thought before kissing him.
'Well, who indeed!'
The twins were about to let off a firecracker as Ron and Hermione's lips met, but a movement from the window caught George's eye. He pulled Fred to look out with him. The sight they saw outside made them turn to face each other and grin. They had, of course been in on Ron and Hermione's little trick.
'And who'd have guessed they'd come together on their own?'
Everyone let out a collective sigh. *They make such a cute couple* Fred, George, Ron and Hermione all thought.
'We'll wait and see.' 'A few days more.' 'There may be something there that wasn't there before.'
By this time Harry and Ginny had entered Hogwarts. They entered the common room, Ginny in Harry's arms; both looking extremely happy. He sat her on the couch closest to the fire.
Ginny closed her eyes as if she were in heaven. Harry; with a flick of his wand increased the fire, And seeing Ginny still shivering pulled her close.
She looked up at Harry, her lip trembling. *She's so pretty* He thought. And before he knew what he was doing, he leaned in and kissed her.
Ron looked at Hermione with a look of Triumph on his face, matched only by hers.
'Well, perhaps there's something there that wasn't there before.'
Hermione's eyes conveyed to Ron that she couldn't be happier for them. Then she took him by the arm and led him away; knowing Harry and Ginny would want their privacy.
'There's definitely something there that wasn't there before.'
