A million kisses (Harry's POV)

A lot changed in our sixth year.

One day it just hit me like a Bludger that we were

in love.

I didn't know much about love, but if this wasn't it

I had no idea what love should be then.





If it wasn't love, the way I started to talk rubbish

when Ron and I were too alone too long in a too

dimly lit room.





Or the silence that fell between us when we made our

way back from Hogsmeade together on a Saturday

night, listening to the crunching of our feet in the fresh

snow in winter, or to the chirping of the crickets in

summer.





The way my face started to practically glow when Ron

smiled at me across the table at lunch.





Or how I sometimes caught him casting shy glances in

my direction with a beautiful expression of wonder

on his face.





Of course I didn't have the guts to do anything.





I was too afraid to be mistaken.

I was used to spending a lot of time in my own

little dream world.

I had done so for more than a decade and still did

it, during the holidays at Privet Drive, when I dreamt

of spending it with Ron instead, at the sea maybe, just

him and me, chasing each other on the beach, or just

lying there, talking calmly and feeling the hot sand

against our naked backs.





Wishful thinking.

Maybe I was only having another wonderful dream again.





Outstretched in the backyard of the Weasley's in

the middle of the summer after sixth year, watching the

stars, just the two of us, I started to dream again,

as the now familiar silence fell between us once

more.





It wasn't an awkward one, but really not a comfortable

one either.





Maybe you could call it...expectant. And peaceful at

the same time.





Ron's body was close enough for me to feel his body

heat, and I felt like floating, like only he could

make me feel.

I was more nervous than ever, more than I had been

before my Potions exams.

My heart thumped painfully against my ribs and it

took all of my willpower to just remain still and to not run away.





Instead , I did probably the bravest thing I had

ever done in my whole life.





I mentally took a deep, deep breath and took Ron's hand.





I squeezed my eyes shut as hard as I could, grinding

my teeth and preparing to have my dreams shattered.





I remained like that for what seemed like an eternity, but

when there was no reaction I relaxed, at least physically,

because inwardly I felt...

I started to ask myself if one could die from too

much emotion.

The feeling of my small hand in Ron's warm, gentle

grasp left me yearning in every part of my body.





And as he suddenly squeezed it almost unnoticeably, I

felt my heart run over.

My heart loved him and my body wanted him and my

soul just simply needed him.





I was so nervous - I cannot tell you how nervous I

was when I felt him move - and tremblingly turned

to face him.

I looked into his eyes and another eternity passed

where I could do nothing but marvel at the beauty of

his face.





Through my eyes one couldn't be more perfect than he was.





And then he was *Ron*.





Not only so beautiful that it broke my heart a

thousand times and mended it at the same time.

Not only perfect, but also Ron.





*My* Ron, the most wonderful person.

Fiery and insecure, erotic and untainted, protective

and vulnerable, a bunch of opposites, which went together

perfectly well.





I tried to explore his bottomless innocent eyes,

tried to figure out what he was thinking, if he was trying

to find a way to tell me that he liked me, loved me

as a friend, but that I was going too far by

reaching for his hand under the starry skies.





But then I noticed the slight trembling of his

fingers on the back of my hand.





And then..





"I've fallen in love with you, Harry."





He whispered it into the night and I was dying.

I was glad I was lying down cause my knees were jelly

my stomach was a swarm of bumblebees gone wild and my

heart skipped several beats, and as it started again,

it was so loud that I was sure Ron could hear it, too.





This had to be a dream.

It was just another wonderful dream, wasn't it?





I couldn't do anything but stare, afraid that it was just a

joke, that Ron would laugh and slap me playfully the

next second and then I would have to laugh, too, and

pretend that my heart hadn't broken indelibly.





But it wasn't another dream and it wasn't a joke either.

Ron's hand still trembled in mine and his eyes were

filled with panic as he spoke up again.





"Please say something, Harry."





Softly I shook my head and swallowed hard.

All pieces of my broken heart fell neatly into place

again, and I felt my soul repair itself.





"No," I managed and again gathered all the courage

in the world as I raised a shy hand and touched the

tender skin of his cheek.

"We already wasted too much time talking."





And then I brushed my lips to his.

It didn't last longer than a second.

It was probably the most tentative kiss in the world.





But it was enough for me.

It was not another dream.

It was real.





And it was the beginning of a million kisses.





THE END
