Title: Of Love and Loafers
Disclaimer: Hah! I wish!
Summary: So Harry's a little slow and it took him a while to finally see Ginny, at least he catches on in the end.
"Harry, what are you doing out here?"
Harry turned around to face the door and smiled, "hi Ginny."
"What are you doing out here, its freezing and everyone's still in bed."
"I couldn't sleep." Ginny looked up at him with concern but didn't say anything. She shoved her hands into her mittens and crossing her arms to keep warm. Harry looked at the sky again, marveling at the interplay of russet red and gold setting the sky aflame. "Why aren't you still asleep?" Harry asked her.
"I love mornings, a brand new day ahead of me with no mistakes in it yet, no prat brothers pestering me about the current boyfriend, no mum nagging me about not being married yet and no twins taking the mickey out of me." Ginny turned to Harry and chuckled. "Not that all those things won't happen anyway."
"Be serious, Gins" Harry said with mock gravity. "The twins are too busy testing their new products on said current boyfriend to bother taking the mickey out of you." Harry watched as Ginny threw back her head and laughed.
"Oh, hell, did you see what they did to the last one, poor chap had to go to St. Mungo's to stop his nose nose diving off his face and running away. That is of course, after the two and a half hour chase through the Burrow to catch the little bugger in the first place."
Harry watched the light shine from her eyes and smirked. "I remember that."
"And I remember you not helping!"
Suddenly a shoe fell from and hit Harry in the head. Harry looked up to find one of the twins heads sticking out of the window. "Shut it you two, some of us are sleeping."
As soon as the curtain fell again, Ginny fell to the floor clutching at her sides. "You know wench, that shoe should have been aimed at you."
Holding the offending footwear menacingly, Harry watched her hair flame out as she struggled to catch her breath. Finally straightening, Ginny beamed up at Harry. "This day may end up in the heap after Fred wakes up and gets revenge, but the look on your face right now will make it well worth while. I can imagine it now: 'The Boy Who Lived, Felled by Deadly Loafer'"
As she walked back inside Harry watched her titan hair flicker in the new sunlight as her shoulders shook with laughter. He couldn't think of anything that was less funny at that moment, all the same, he couldn't seem to stop smiling.
