Chapter 2

Harry woke up the next morning surprisingly refreshed. Of course, he had made out with a girl for the second time in his life last night, which might be the reason he was so happy. For the moment, he didn't think of Voldemort, he didn't think of saving the world. All he thought about was Ginny Weasley. For the moment, life was good.

He got up from his bed and suddenly heard a loud snore from the bed next to his. Oh bloody hell, Ron's going to kill me! Suddenly, life wasn't so good. He hurriedly took a shower and rushed towards to Great Hall, hoping to finish before Ron got there. He really did not want to talk to Ron right now, he was afraid he might slip.

All thoughts of Ron vanished, however, as soon as he stepped in the Great Hall. This was because as soon as he stepped in the room, he saw Ginny Weasley scraping some butter on toast. It was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He took a seat next to her and gave her a wide grin. "Good morning, Ginny!"

"Why, Harry, what's made you so cheery this morning?" said Ginny with a impish grin.

"Oh, I don't know, it might have been that ravishing kiss we shared last night."

Ginny simply smiled at Harry and asked, "Would you like some toast?"

"Yes, please."

As Harry was preoccupied munching happily on his toast, he didn't notice the presence of one Ron Weasley enter the Great Hall. He did notice, of course, when Ron slapped him on the back and said, "Morning, mate!"

Harry choked on his piece of toast as he stared wide-eyed up at his friend. Oh crap, he knows, he knows!

Ron's face grew concerned as Harry's face turned considerably paler. "All right, Harry? You seem to be a little pale there."

"Just…peachy!" Harry managed to choke out. "If you'll excuse me, I think I left my Transfiguration book up in the Tower, I'll be back in a few."

Harry fairly flew out of the Great Hall, without even a second glance at Ginny. Ginny stared at his back as he left, then turned to glare at an oblivious Ron, who had taken Harry's seat (and toast). "Don't know what's wrong with him, we don't even have Transfiguration this morning, we have Defense Against the Dark Arts! Never thought I'd feel down about that class, but it'll be sure to be hell with Snape teaching us."

Ginny looked at Ron in disgust, as he was talking through a mouthful of toast. "You're – so – infuriating sometimes, Ron!"

With that said, Ginny stormed out of the Great Hall, leaving behind a thoroughly confused Ron.

"What'd I do now?" he said, still with a mouthful of toast.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Defense Against the Dark Arts was, of course, extremely horrible. It was even worse because Harry knew that it was his best subject, and he shouldn't be having the trouble he had in the class. It was even enough to get rid of his tension around Ron. "It's all because of Snape! He's such a jackass!"

Ron nodded in agreement, while Hermione just rolled her eyes in both exasperation and amusement. "If you didn't let him get into your skin, like you always do, you might actually end up learning something."

Both boys ignored her as they continued ranting on about Snape. Their conversation was stopped abruptly by the sight of Ginny walking towards them. That sight brought up Harry's earlier problems as he seized up and stared at Ron out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, Gin! How were your classes?" said Ron as he lay eyes on his sister.

"Oh, they were fine." said Ginny. "Excuse me, Hermione."

She brushed past Hermione and went up to Harry, who didn't notice her because he was still eying Ron. She pushed him against the wall and caught his lips in hers. Harry's eyes went wide, then unfocused, and then he finally closed them as he began to enjoy making out with his best friends little sister.

Ron was watching the scene with his jaw hanging open, looking entirely shocked. For the first few moments he wasn't able to form any comprehensible words.

Ginny finally finished with the kiss and said, "Well, that's all I needed. See you guys later!"

With that said, she left with a slight spring to her step. Harry's eyes were still unfocused but he soon snapped back to attention as he realized what had just happened…in front of Ron. He stared at Ron apprehensively for a moment until Ron finally spoke. "Harry…how long?"

"Er…only since last night, Ron! I swear!"

Ron glared at Harry, and then started snickering. "You should have seen your face, Harry!" he crowed.

Harry stared at his friend for a minute before uttering the most intelligible thing that came to his mind. "Eh?"

"I've been waiting for this moment for years, Harry! Why else do you think I tried to drive all her other boyfriends away? No one was right for her, except for you. Only you can keep my little sister safe, that's why I'm so happy for both of you."

Harry smiled widely at Ron, feeling as though a large weight had been lifted up off of his chest. "You have no idea how happy you just made me right now, Ron. C'mon, let's go to lunch."

Hermione just smiled the entire time as she watched the events play out.
