the plot (and my name.)


Harry stood on the staircase, fuming. How could Ron have done that? How COULD he? Harry ran a hand through his hair, thinking of what to say to Ginny. As he pondered this, his thoughts went back to the kiss that Ron had walked in on. He had never felt anything as wonderful as that kiss. How had he and Ginny gone from talking to kissing. It had happened so fast...but he knew one thing: he had kissed her first. Why? He had never thought of Ginny as anything but a little girl who was kind of nice.....As he ran his fingers through his hair again, he glanced down the stairs. Ginny was standing there, watching him. She blushed scarlet, and turned to go.

"Ginny, wait." Harry called, starting down the stairs.

As he descended, he looked at her, really looked at her for the first time in 6 years. what had he been thinking? ..A little girl?...Ron's baby sister? Now all he could see was how the ringlets of her hair fell around her face...and how her beautiful eyes, as fiery as her hair, were so captivating, hypnotizing....HOW had he never noticed her before? Or had he? Had he just been kidding himself? Harry thought he had loved Cho, but when Voldemort had killed her, all he had felt was a little pity. Why? For the last 6 years, ever since he had met Ginny, he had tried to think of her as a little girl, but the truth was, he was only doing that to get her out of his thoughts.
Ginny was standing there, watching Harry silently.

"Gin, I'm sorry about that," He said.

Ginny swelled up, furious, "Sorry for what?" she said, "For kissing me, or for punching my brother out over a midnight fling? I'm sure I'm not the first, or the last, who will be a pawn for Harry Potter!! And don't EVER call me Gin again!!!"

Harry stood there, staring at her. "It wasn't like that. How could a kiss have felt that good if.."

Slap! Ginny's hand swung out of nowhere, hitting his cheek. "Is that all you care about? What feels good? How could you? You ignore for 6 years, then suddenly you kiss me? What were you thinking?"

She went on & on, screaming at him, until finally Harry couldn't stop himself any longer. He found his face bending to hers again, and Ginny stopped screaming as they kissed. She brought her hand up, ready to slap him again, but then she realized that she had been dreaming of this moment for 6 years. why was she mad at him?

"Ginny." he said softly into her ear, "This is real. This isn't pity, or a midnight fling. This is real. I love you. I've always loved you, I just didn't want to risk my friendship with Ron. Now, I don't care anymore. I love you." He said again.

Ginny looked up into his green eyes, searching for the truth. All she could see was pure honesty and love. She laid her head onto his chest, wrapping her arms around him.

"In my dreams, you have said that over and over again, but I never dared to hope that you could ever truly say those words to me." she said quietly.

"Well, I said it." Harry answered. "I'm going up to talk to Ron, smooth things over."

Ginny thought for a moment before saying "No, let me. I'll explain, then you can talk to him."

She kissed him once more, fleetingly, & turned up the stairs. Harry watched her go, wanting to follow her, wanting to be near her again.


When Harry had left the room, Ron turned to Hermione, shouting

"He was kissing Ginny!! How could he? (A/N- its deja vu! didn't Harry just say that on the stairs. ^_^ ) Ginny's so little, so innocent! How could Harry use her like that?!?" Hermione smiled and walked up to Ron.

She reached out & put a finger to his lips, quieting him. "Ron," she said, "do you really believe that? Do you really think that Harry would use Ginny? You know that Ginny has always idolized him, so why is it so suprising for them to kiss?"

Ron started to reply: "Because she's my sister & he's my best friend. It just seems wrong!"

"Who are we to say if its wrong or not? If they love each other..."

"Love?" Ron shouted "How can they love each other? She's just a little girl!"

"Ron! She is 16! She has the right to make her own decisions!" Hermione shouted back at him.

Ginny, outside the door, stepped in, glaring at Ron. "What do you think I am? You don't have to protect me! I can protect myself! So what if Harry kissed me, how do you know I didn't ask him to?"

Ron's mouth was hanging open. He looked shocked. "You asked him?!?"

"I didn't say that, but don't assume that its all his fault! I'm not a nieve little girl anymore! I can kiss anyone I want!" Ginny screamed at him.

With that, she turned on her heel & left. Ron stood there, with his mouth still hanging open.
