" Happy Birthday to you!" They all finished singing as we sat around the table , each raising a glass to him.
" Thank you ,everybody for coming. I know it's not been the easiest few months , but it really means a lot that you're all here. " I saw him look around at the table to each face.
" 'ere 'ere" Hagrid called drunkenly from the head of the table. Harry chuckled to himself.
" Harry?" I called from a few spaces down. " Can I talk to you, over there"
" Sure , we'll only be a minute everyone"
" Is that the longest he goes for Gin?" Dean teased from the other side of the table , too which I scoffed at him. Longer than you ever managed, I thought to myself.
July 31st 1998.
Dear Diary,
I did it. Finally I did it. It happened after Harry's birthday party thing, I called him over once we had finished eating. We went into the broom shed , surprise surprise , and I told him everything. How I've been in love with him for months now , how proud I am of him ,everything. Before I could finish, he leaned in to kiss me. His lips were soft , which surprised me, smooth and slightly moist. His head was at the perfect angle , and he lightly brushed his lips over mine , I opened my mouth a little wider and he swept his tongue across my bottom lip. Then , he slipped it into my mouth and before I knew it our tongues were involved in a fight to the death. It started out slow but after a while it got deeper and more passionate. One of his hands was on my neck, the other at the small of my back. It was the perfect kiss. I couldn't be more happy. When we were done, he pulled up for air, and whispered in my ear'I Love you Ginny Weasley'. After that , he pecked me on the lips once last time, and we walked out of the shed, rather formally , far apart , not wanting anyone to suspect anything , and rejoined the party. He's here with me now, well he's in the toilet, it almost 4 in the morning and Ron is spark out. We were just lying in each other's arms, occasionally ( well a bit more than that) leaning over to kiss the other. It was perfect. He said to me that he couldn't have asked for a better birthday. The next few weeks are going to be fantastic.
Ginny.
"Hey you, I'm back" Harry whispered into the darkness of his and Ron's room. I jumped , and let out a scream.
" Shh, you'll wake him up" We both held out breath but nothing came out of Ron except a loud snore. Harry came to join me once more on the bed , wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, it was good to know that my boyfriends extra Qudditch lessons had paid off over the years. He wrapped his arms around me, I knew that this is when I had to tell him.
" Listen. We need to talk" He looked startled , but then relaxed his face " Anything" he whispered , as he tucked a piece of my hair behind my ear.
" I don't think , not yet anyway, that we should tell anyone about us. It's just , when you went off with Ron and Hermione, well , I was hurt. And , no matter how hard I tried to cover it up, my family did notice , especially Charlie , Percy , Bill , George and Fr-" but I stopped there "anyway, I need to get them to see just how fantastically wonderful you are before we go flaunting our relationship, just so they can gain your trust again" I finished , and his face fell. He looked up at me, and kissed me again.
" Anything you want , it's yours." he smiled at me "But we will tell eventually , yes?" he asked , looking worried.
" Of course" I assured him " Just not quite yet"
" Not quite yet" He sighed , and bought his lips to mine again , leaning my head against the pillow, we slept that night , perfectly happy in each other's arms.
