A/N: I've been reading a bunch of Harry/Ginny fanfics. a lot lately and then I thought-well why not write one myself. So here goes nothing-By the way this is my first story ever so if you have any comments/constructive criticism I'm entirely open to it. :)
Harry Potter and the Girl he Loves
Chapter One
Note: This is set in the summer between Harry's 5th and 6th year.
Harry was wandering among the Weasleys unkempt garden nervously. Ron had given him the go ahead to ask Ginny out. His thoughts scattered he had no idea what to say, in fact he was a bit surprised when Ron had come up to him earlier that day and told him he knew that Harry fancied Ginny.
"It was obvious mate, even I figured it out"-Harry gave him a look-"ok well I had some help from Hermione but still it wasn't that hard to see", he said, looking flustered.
Harry had gone to Hermione asking her why she had told Ron. She blushed, and mumbled something about him deserving to be happy too.
"Too, Hermione is there something you'd like to say?", Harry asked Incredulously.
"No!", she said too quickly, Harry stopped her there, "oh-well...there might be...something." she said, still not opening up.
" It doesn't matter, and if it's so important then you can go ask Ron!..." she replied, not willing to give away the very adamant secret.
"When He had asked Ron, the only reply he got was Ron turning beet red and a change of the subject to quidditch. Harry sighed knowing that neither of them would give it away and now here he was pacing the garden without any sign of slowing down.
"Harry?", A small voice said, Harry turned to see Ginny, "Harry, Mum said it's dinner time."
"Harry nodded not trusting his voice to say the right thing to her.
"Harry, are you alright?" , she asked the genuine concern audible in her voice.
"yeah, er-fine", he replied the disbelief creeping through his tone.
"Harry, I've known you since I was ten, don't even think about lying to me.", Ginny cut across before he could make an excuse.
"well-I...er-...It's just..." Harry took a deep breath.
"RontoldmeitwasokandsohereIamaskingyououtohwaitdoyouwanttogooutwithme." he said all in one breath.
"wait what?" she said.
"Do you-um, want to go out with me..." he said.
"Blimley Harry what took so long-of course!" she said with a laugh.
"Harry grinned-then stopped dead.
"what do we tell your family?" he asked wondering if they would approve of the couple.
Ginny thought for a minute, "Well why don't we keep this our secret, and announce it at your birthday, after all you'll be here all summer."
"sounds perfect", he said giving her a hug.
They walked up to the back door hand in hand, and let go so the family wouldn't be suspicious as they went inside.
A/N: I think this is a good start I will try to update once a week at least but get busy sometimes-when that happens I'll try to leave a note for you-I'm planning on updating next Friday-Also I know it was short I' really busy today- I promise a long one next time though!
