Chapter 3-Like Old Times
Ginny was thinking what to say. Her dream boyfriend was there next to her. She dropped back to earth and realised they were talking about Hermione and Ron.
"Yeah, the git took seven years to admit to fancying her!" she said.
Harry laughed and Ginny giggled. They both were happy that their friendship was back on track. Still laughing at the other couple, they made their way into a small patch of trees.
Ginny suddenly felt the sensation of falling-she had slipped on some exposed ice. Harry tried to grab her, but slipped himself, whilst she let out a small yelp. Harry landed first on the ground, with a huge ache in his back. Ginny fell second. She landed on him, with a great thump.
"Sorry...I...Sorry..." mumbled Harry, embarrassed and feeling like he wanted to die at that moment. "It's funny how I always end up on top." Smiled Ginny.
"Yeah...yeah..." muttered Harry, thinking he must be a deep red now, which would make Ron's hair proud.
As he tried to get up, he found Ginny had pinned him down. Looking at her face, he found her looking serious and staring down at him.
"It's O.K.-I like that..." she whispered. She leaned down towards him-Harry caught a whiff of her flowery scent. Harry leaned up too. His eyes closed. "Me too..." their lips met softly and Harry never wanted to stop, neither did Ginny.
She leaned into the kiss, feeling his hands in her hair, then on her waist. "HARRY, GINNY-LUNCH IS READY!!!" shouted Mrs Weasley, from the Burrow.
They slowly broke apart. Ginny looked down, grinning. Harry had his eyes closed, and his lips were still pursed oddly. "Harry, come on! My mum's waiting!" she said, hitting him playfully. Getting up, Harry grabbed her and held her in his arms.
"Ginny...when I broke it off with us...I...I just missed you so much."
"Me too..."
"So...I was just...uh... wondering...if you would consider...going out with me?"
She smiled and kissed him passionately and pushed him up against a tree. After a few blissful seconds, she pulled away. "Only if you promise never, ever to leave me."
Harry did not want to make a promise he couldn't keep. But when he held her, he didn't want to leave her. It seemed that he might vomit if she left him alone.
"I promise." He was also about to say something he knew for a long time, but he was scared she may not feel the same.
"I...I...I..."
"What?"
"I love you."
"I love you too."
He was so happy with her response; her lifted her off the ground and kissed her.
They went in for a light snack to sustain themselves till lunch. The whole time, Ginny and Harry were holding hands. Suddenly, Ron and Hermione burst in, both looking grumpy and irritable.
"What happened to you?" asked Harry.
"Her parents!" spoke Ron, loudly.
"What?" said Ginny, barely holding back a laugh at Ron's expression.
"Hermione hadn't told them about...you know...us!"
"Sorry, Ronald, but I was going to tell them today! But you suddenly kissed me!" replied Hermione.
"Here's lunch." said Mrs Weasley loudly.
She magically placed two heavily laden dishes on the table-one had some potatoes and asparagus, the other had mouth-watering turkey slices.
Ron eyed them carefully and lunged in.
"Ron, you pig, this is just a little bit before the real lunch." said a disgusted Ginny, who was still clutching Harry's hands tightly.
