Ginny couldn't help the smile that was on her face the next morning. "So did you have a good time last night Ginny?" her mother asked her.

Ginny just continued to stare out the window a dreamy look on her face. Her family all look at each other before her brother, Ron, waved his hand in front of her face causing Ginny to shake her head clearing it of thoughts of last night and Harry.

"Hu what?" she said looking around at everyone questioningly with a slight blush at being caught daydreaming.

"I asked if you had a good time last night." Her mother said again looking at her closely.

"Oh." She said blushing harder pushing her food around her plate "It was fine." She said but couldn't stop the smile that slipped onto her face.

"Mmm." Her mother said looking at her suspiciously. Ginny just looked down at her plate and continued eating.

Her father and brother were looking at them intently wondering what exactly they were talking about. Finally her father stood up and said it was time he and Ron headed off to work. Both her father and brother worked in the Ministry of Magic her father with muggle artifacts and her brother was training to be an Auror.

When she was done eating breakfast she quickly retreated to the back garden to read and get away from her mother's searching gaze. When lunch rolled around her mother had called her back inside to do something.

"Yeah mum what did you need?" she said as she walked back into the house.

"It seems your father and brother won't be coming home for lunch so I was wondering if you could take this to them?" she asked holding out two bags of food. Ginny rolled her eyes before grabbing the bags and walking out side to Apparate.

When she got to the Ministry she quickly walked to her father's office first.

"Ah Ginny, what are you doing here?" her father asked when she walked in.

"Mum wanted me to drop this off for you." She said holding out the bag of food for him to take.

He smiled at her before grabbing the bag and pulling her into a hug "Thanks sweetheart."

"You're welcome daddy." she said before pulling away and kissing his cheek leaving to find her brother.

When she walked into the Auror office she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and ran into someone. She would have fallen on her butt if the person hadn't wrapped their arms around her waist and pulled them flush against their body.

"I'm so sorry." She said looking up into a pair of shining emerald green eyes.

"It's fine." Harry said smiling down at her "It was my fault I wasn't watching where I was going." He said looking down at her. They stayed like that for several long seconds Harry's arms wrapped around her waist and hers placed on his strong chest.

Ginny blushed and backed away from him, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear nervously before noticing what he was wearing. He had on a pair of jeans with a white t-shirt that hugged him in all the right places with official Auror robes draped over it. "You're an Auror?" she asked surprised.

Harry chuckled "Yeah I have been for a few years now." He said smiling shyly. Harry chuckled suddenly "It's actually good that I ran into you now." He said mischievously.

"Oh really and why is that?" she asked looking up at him curiously.

"It saves me the trouble of tracking you down." He said mysteriously.

"And why would you need to track me down exactly?"

"I wanted to ask if you would like to go out sometime." He said surprising her again "Maybe go out to dinner?" he asked hopefully.

She smiled brightly at him "I would love to."

"Great how's tomorrow at say 7 o'clock?" he asked

"Perfect." She said smiling.

"Great, I'll owl you with the details." He said smiling back at her "But I think I've held you up long enough."

She looked at him confused for a second before remembering the food in her hand. "Oh right." She said making him chuckle again "Um, you wouldn't happen to know where Ron Weasley is would you?" she asked looking up at him through her lashes.

He laughed at her antics before pointing to a group of wizards in the Auror trainee robes. "I should have known you were the sister he talks about." Harry said smiling at her.

She laughed "Alright well I'll let you get back to what you were doing before. I'll see you tomorrow." She said waving to him.

"See you." He said waving back as they both walked away in different directions.

As soon as she walked up to Ron he narrowed his eyes at her "What were you and Harry talking about?" he asked suspiciously.

Ginny rolled her eyes "Hi Ron good to see you too." She said before almost tossing his lunch at him. She made to walk away but Ron stopped her.

"You didn't answer my question." He said accusingly "What were you talking to Harry about?"

"I really don't think that's any of your business." She told him acidly.

"Your my little sister." He said as if it made up for everything "It's my job to know what guys you talk to, weather their Harry Potter or not."

Ginny glared at him "I don't need you to look out for me I can look out for myself." She said before his words caught up with her. "Wait a second did you just say Harry Potter?" she asked her eyes wide.

"Yeah didn't you know?" he asked.

Ginny just stood there for a second before shaking her head "Well bye Ron, see you at home." She said before quickly walking away.

As soon as she was home she bolted up the stairs and into her room closing and locking the door. She flopped down onto her bead as she thought about everything that had happened at the Ministry.

She had just agreed to go on a date with Harry Potter, the man who had saved the wizarding world from the darkest wizard of their time, the only person to ever survive the killing curse. He had actually asked her out. She felt like she could jump up and down in excitement.

For the rest of the night she couldn't keep the smile off of her face and she went to sleep thinking tomorrow couldn't come sooner.

Ginny jumped out of bed the next morning and raced downstairs to see her mother father and Ron already sitting down and eating. "Morning everyone." She said smiling brightly as she grabbed a plate and put some food onto it.

"Good morning dear." Her mother said smiling "What's got you in such a good mood?" she asked

"Oh you know the sun is shining and everything is perfect." She said happily. Ron snorted into his breakfast causing Ginny to narrow her eyes at him.

Just as she was about to ask him what was so funny a beautiful snowy owl flew in through the open window and landed without a sound in front of Ginny looking at her with intelligent amber eyes. They all sat there stunned for a second before Ginny came to her senses and reach to run her fingers over the soft feathers of the owl's chest.

"She's so beautiful." Ginny whispered as the owl nipped at her fingers gently. She then noticed the note attached to her leg and quickly untied it giving her a piece of her bacon before the owl left with barely a sound through the window.

Ginny then looked down at the note resting in her hand:

Ginny

Meet me at 7 in front of The Leaky Caldron. Dress casual.

Harry

"What's it say dear?" her father asked her.

"Oh nothing." She said smiling folding the note before going back to her breakfast.

Once again Ron snorted "Yeah right." He said causing Ginny to glare at him "It's obviously some note from whatever guy she's hooking up with later." He said spiteful.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Ginny asked accusingly her temper rising.

"Oh come on." Ron said exasperated "You haven't been able to stop smiling since you got back from wherever you went with your friends so you obviously met some dead beat and agreed to go out with him."

"Well I don't believe that's any of your business. You aren't my keeper Ron you don't get a say in who I see or don't see." Ginny said angrily before standing up and storming up stairs and into her room slamming her door shut.

Ginny didn't leave her room until Ron and her father had left. When she did she walked outside and grabbed her broom taking off into the air. She stayed outside the rest of the day flying walking or just relaxing until it was time to get ready for her date.

She quickly showered and dried her hair before walking into her room to decide what to wear. By the time she had decided on her nicest pair of jeans and a green long sleeve V-neck shirt her entire wardrobe was thrown around the room. With a wave of her wand she put everything back where it belonged before putting on some eye shadow and mascara. She brushed through her hair one more time and slipped on a pair of black flats and grabbing her wand before quickly walking down the stairs to find her family all in the living room talking.

"Well how do I look?" she asked nervously.

Her father stood up and hugged her whispering in her ear "You look beautiful firefly."

Ginny looked up and smiled at her dad before kissing his cheek. "Thanks." She said before looking at the clock. "I don't know when I'll be back." She told them.

"That's fine sweetheart." Her mother told her "Just go and have some fun." She said hugging her as well.

"Alright well I'll be back later. Bye I love you." She called over her shoulder as she walked out of the door and apparated to the Leaky Cauldron.

When she got there she looked around and found Harry leaning against the wall next to the door. He was wearing a nice pair of jeans and a simple button up white shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He smiled when he saw her and pushed off the wall walking over to her.

"Hey, you look beautiful." He told her making her blush but she smiled anyway.

"Thank you, you look quite handsome yourself." She replied back winking at him. Harry chuckled grabbing her hand and starting to lead her down the side walk. "Where are we going?" she asked

He looked back and smiled at her continuing to drag her after him "You'll see, and I promise you'll like it." He told her sincerely.

She looked at him for a second "Ok." She finally said before falling into step beside him her hand still clutched in his their fingers intertwined.

They walked silently down the street before Harry stopped in front of a small Italian restaurant. He smiled as he lead her inside and up to the counter.

"Table for two?" the lady at the front asked kindly. Harry nodded and the lady picked up two menus and led them to a table at the far end of the restaurant telling them that their waiter would be out soon.

"So Miss Weasley you know what I do for a living but I don't know what it is you do." Harry said after the lady had left.

Ginny blushed "Oh, um, I actually got signed by the Holyhead Harpies Quidditich team." She said embarrassed.

"Wow that's amazing." Harry said smiling brightly at her, she smiled back "You must be really good. I'll have to come watch you some time."

The blush that was starting to go away came back full force as he said that making him chuckle "Do you play Quidditich?" she asked him quickly trying to change the subject.

Harry smiled wistfully at that "I do, but never really played on a team. I'm a pretty good seeker though."

"Why didn't you get the chance?" she asked curiously tilting her head to the side slightly.

Harry shrugged "I never went to Hogwarts so never got the chance to play on a house team." He said nonchalantly as their waiter came over to take their order.

"You pick." Ginny told him.

Harry smiled at her before turning to the waiter "Two spaghettis please." The waiter wrote it down before walking off.

Ginny took a sip of the water she had before looking up at Harry who was staring at her intently. "So my brother told me something the other day."

"Oh and what's that?" he asked

Ginny bit her lip before answering "That you're Harry Potter." She said looking down at that table.

"Oh." He said looking down as well.

"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked looking up at him.

Harry sighed "I was going to eventually. I just wanted you to get to know me for me. Not what you've read in the Prophet." He said still looking down at the table.

Ginny reached over and took his hand in hers "I don't care what they say in the Prophet. I like to get to know a person for who they are, not what others think of them, and I can see that you're a kind, caring, and intelligent man." She said causing him to look up at her his eyes shining with happiness.

"Thank you. You're one of the only people to say that to me." He told her squeezing her hand lightly. She gave him a dazzling smile in return. After that conversation flowed easily between them. They talked and laughed and had an amazing time. Ginny told him about her six brothers and all that mischief they would get into he in turn told her about his godson, Teddy, and how his parents were killed in the finale battle so he lived with him now.

After they had finished eating and Harry had paid for their meal they walked hand in hand to a little park no too far away and just walked around continuing their conversation.

Eventually Harry sighed and looked at his wrist watch "It's getting late, I should probably head home and relive Teddy's babysitter."

"Yeah and I should probably get home before my brother comes looking for me." She said not sounding like she wanted to go one bit.

Harry gently put a finger under her chin so she would look at him "I've had an amazing time tonight." He whispered

"Me too, I hope we can do it again sometime soon." she said hopefully. Harry smiled and nodded before locking eyes with her.

He slowly leaned down until his lips were just centimeters from hers "I think that can be arranged." He said before leaning down the rest of the way to capture her lips in a sweet and gentle kiss.

They were both smiling when they pulled away and neither could keep the smiles off their faces as they returned home and fell asleep.
