P.S Thank you to all of you who take the time to reveiw it makes my day!

Learning to Fly

Mornings

Ginny woke the morning of the trip to Hogsmeade especially excited. She decided to go for a walk since she was up hours before anyone else would be. As she strolled on to the grounds she shivered, Hogwarts was a sight to behold in the morning.

The endless sea of green grass sparkled with dew, the pathways seemed to be smoking but that was just mist. The wall surrounding the school seemed to reflect the sun's warmth. The sun was passing between towers and Ginny stopped to enjoy the feel of the sun on her back while she surveyed the grounds in search of anyone else that might be up at this hour.

Hagrid could be heard in the distance singing loudly and quite poorly. Ginny laughed to herself. Everything was so peaceful in the morning; it was the main reason Ginny would get up so early.

Flashback

"Come on Hermione!" Ginny pleaded as she tried to roll her friend out of bed.

"Hmmph."

"What? Sorry I don't speak pillow." Ginny's voice dripped with sarcasm, she had been trying to get Hermione up to go for a walk with her for the past fifteen minutes. In that time she had been hit with stray hands and feet, she was sure that she would have bruises the next day. She would have given up after five minutes if Hermione hadn't said the night before that she wanted to go.

"I don wango."

"What?" Ginny was getting ready to give up and go by herself when she got an idea.

She moved carefully so that she was straddling the sleeping beauty. She is so pretty, and she isn't even conscious. Then before Ginny could even begin to set her plan into action Hermione rolled over and brought Ginny with her. Hermione was nearly on top of a very shocked and pleasantly surprised Ginny.

"Um Herm?"

"…"

"Herm!" Ginny gasped as Hermione put her face into Ginny's neck and kissed it.

Ginny couldn't decide what to do, On one hand I could stay here and enjoy this while it lasts. But I won't get my walk in…Hermione chose that moment to intertwine their legs. Forget the walk. I think I'll enjoy this. Plus I could black mail her with it for a while.

Ginny fell back asleep for a while longer with a smile on her face and wicked thoughts in her head.

End Flashback

Ginny laughed to herself as she recalled the morning that had taken place a few weeks prior.

"Oh Hermione if only you knew."

"Knew what Gin?"

Ginny nearly fainted as she felt the familiar arms wrapped them selves around her. Ginny whirled around to face Hermione.

"Uh. Um." Come on think fast! What can I cover this up with??"Gez Herm you scared me. I was saying if only you knew how beautiful it is out here in the morning." Good, that could work. Hermione smiled and said

"You're right it is beautiful out here, but you are far more beautiful." Hermione let her arms drop and calmly walked away before she blushed profusely, Ginny didn't need to see how easily she could make her blush. Hermione had no filter in the morning, which was the main reason she never got up early. Whatever came to mind spilled out of her mouth. She turned around so that her back was to Ginny.

"Wow thanks Herm. Your eyes are far more beautiful than the sparkling dew, and they will always be far more beautiful than anything. Anything but the rest of you that is." Ginny trailed off shocked at the words that poured out of her mouth.

Both girls stood away from the other trying to control themselves. Hermione was having a harder time. If I say much more then she will find out how I feel. If she feels the same way then it wouldn't be so bad. But if she doesn't feel the same way then I would be ruining a great friendship over hormones. Damn why can't life be easier to understand? There should be a spell for this kind of thing. Maybe I should make one…

As Hermione was contemplating the lack of a spells for hormones Ginny had snuck up and was standing right behind her. Mmmm she smells so good. Like lilacs and parchment. Ginny was about to say something when Hermione spun around and knocked them both to the ground.

Ginny broke Hermione's fall but all of the air rushed out of her lungs in a 'whoosh'. As Ginny lay there dazed Hermione had her face buried in the ground next to Ginny's neck, awaiting the remark about her gracefulness that was well deserved.

When she didn't hear anything coming from Ginny she looked into the green eyes of her friend and temporary cushion. Ginny's eyes were something Hermione could never tire of, they had a green center that looked like a sunburst or star and that was surrounded by a light blue color.

Hermione was surprised to find Ginny's eyes sort of glazed over and unfocused.

"Gin?" No response. "Ginny?" When there was no indication that Ginny had even heard her Hermione started to panic.

"Oh god, what have I done? See I told you I wasn't that light, you couldn't even handle me falling on you how were you supposed to carry me?" Hermione fussed and mumbled to herself as she rearranged herself and Ginny so that the red head was in her lap.

Hermione lowered her head so that her ear was next to Ginny's mouth so that she could listen for breathing. After a few seconds she squealed when Ginny reached up and pulled her head down and proceeded to kiss her ear.

"You are so mean Ginny Weasley!" Hermione said as she stood up and brushed the dirt off of her jeans.

"I'm the mean one? One second I'm standing then the next your hair is in my eyes and your ear is nearly in my mouth. What did you expect?" Ginny smiled as she sat back in the grass with her hands behind her propping her up.

"Do you always kiss things that are by your mouth?" Hermione asked as she stretched out her hand to Ginny to help her up.

"Yes. Don't you?" Ginny took Hermione's hand and got up.

"No. But I will remember that you do." As Ginny started to walk away Hermione noticed the grass and dirt that was stuck to Ginny's back and butt. She ran up behind her friend and started to brush it off.

I hate when things are crooked and when there is grass and dirt on clothes.

No you just wanted to touch her butt.

I'm so not doing this again!

It's only cause you know that I am right.

So what?

Hermione's inner struggle was interrupted when Ginny turned around and swept her off her feet and started walking away from the castle.

"What are you doing??" Even though she was surprised the hard muscle of the younger girl wasn't lost on Hermione. Hermione could feel the muscles working in Ginny's arms and shoulders; she could feel strong abs against her hip. Even though Hermione couldn't feel them she knew that Ginny had toned legs that went on for miles. Quidditchreally was good for Ginny, not only did it make her strong but it released her bundles of energy.

"See I can totally carry you, you're unbelievably light." Hermione looked up and saw that Ginny was looking down at her with a smug grin on her face. There was a twinkle in her eyes that Hermione couldn't place.

"Fine I believe you now. Put me down?"

Ginny faked like she was going to drop Hermione. Hermione shrieked, put her arms around Ginny's neck and buried her face into Ginny's collar. Ginny just laughed.

"Maybe I should just carry you." Hermione only nodded, she couldn't look up or Ginny would see how red she was. Not to mention she liked being in Ginny's arms.

Ginny carried Hermione over to a tree and set her down and took a seat next to her. Hermione just stared ahead. She was tired, normally she was still asleep. Without thinking about it she put her head in Ginny's lap and closed her eyes.

Ginny tensed up instantly, this was another reason she liked warning before Hermione touched her. Ginny had the tendency to freeze up; her whole body would just shut down at the lightest touch. If she didn't shut down then she would go into over-drive and start to quake.

After she regained control of herself she looked down and the sight of Hermione melted her already soft heart. Hermione was asleep with some hair in her face, her mouth was slightly open and she was clutching the fabric of Ginny's pants with one hand.

Ginny grinned to no one in particular and leaned back against the tree and snoozed.
