Chapter 4:Lunch

Ginny's POV

I grabbed my hairbrush off my dresser and ran it through my hair for what probably was the tenth time in the last 10 minutes. I was just so nervous. I mean, the boy I've had a crush on, not that I still do obviously, since I was ten is coming over for lunch. And I invited him, for some idiotic reason. Picking what to wear proved to be difficult as I held up several outfits before finally going with a short black sundress. I put my hair in a side braid, so I would stop paying with it, and walked downstairs.

"Awww, look how beautiful our very own Gin-Gin is!" George cooed mockingly. Of course idiot me forgot all about Weasley luncheon Sundays, so that's the day I invited Harry over. "You dressed up nice for your date?"

"Shut up George, we were both just cheated on. Besides, I'm not even looking for a relationship at the moment."

"I bet Potter's only coming here to get in your pants." Ron chimed in.

"Ronald Weasley that will be enough of that talk!" Mum yelled from the kitchen, and I'm glad she ended that awkward situation before it even started.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll get it!" I yelled out as I swiftly beat my brothers to the door, whilst sticking my tongue out at them. I opened the door to see Harry and I smiled brightly at him. "Hello Harry!" I beamed as I heard a snort from Ron behind me.

"Hey," he responded, "how are you?"

"I'm great, come right in!" I exclaimed joyfully, earning myself another laugh from my o' so lovely brothers.

"Thanks, hey guys." He called to the Weasley clan. He was greeted with a chorus of "Hi Harry!" as I led him to the living room

"Mum's just finishing up lunch, so why don't we go over there and sit," I beckoned. He nodded and the two of us sat on the couch in the sitting room.

"So," he began, "How are you holding up with everything?"

"I'm alright." I responded. "I mean I used to think I was in love with Dean, but he was acting rude long before he cheated, so I'm not crushed or anything. You?"

"Oh yeah! Duh! Of course I'm fine, who wouldn't be, I mean it's been a week."

"Harry, I want the truth." I chided.

"Fine, fine." He sighed. "I'm a mess. The time I haven't spent alone in my room cry...I mean missing Cho, I've been pissed at her for leaving. My mind goes back and forth between loving her and hating her and I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to get back together, but it was so nice waking up to someone telling me how much they love me, you know?"

"Oh Harry," I murmured. I looked at those beautiful emerald orbs and sighed. "We all love you here Harry, and if reminding you that gets you over Cho then I'll tell you that everyday." I then realized my mistake. "WE'LL tell you that, not just me obviously because I'm not your girlfriend that would be insane, nope the Weasleys love you like your one of us not like a lover kind of love, you know what I mean HAHAHA." I finished with an awkward laugh and looked down at my shoes.

I then felt his hand on my thigh. "Hey, Ginny, its fine I know what you meant." He gave me a warm smile and looked straight into my eyes. He started to lean towards me when Ron came in and yelled, "Merlin, Harry, you came here for lunch not to hookup with my baby sister!"

We jerked apart as a chorus of laughter came from the dining room.

"Ok, lovebirds, time for lunch."

"Hey, I really did have a great time." Harry smiled at me once more.

"Me too!" I looked up at him expectantly, hoping to finish what ALMOST started before. I wasn't as lucky, however, because he seemed to have no interest in that at the moment. "We should really hang out again sometime."

"Pretty eyes...I MEAN YEAH DEFINITELY." I stammered.

"You're cute when you're flustered." He told me before he apparated away.

I walked back inside with a goofy grin on my face.

"What's your deal?" Ron asked.

"He called me cute."

Harry's POV

I walked into Grimmuald place and hit my head against the door.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid." I chanted to myself.

"What happened over there, Prongslet?" Sirius implored.

"SHE GOT ALL FLUSTERED AND I CALLED HER CUTE LIKE AN IDIOT." I screamed, frustrated with my stupidity.

"You'll be fine, just breathe."

"Ugh, I'm stupid."

"I mean, compliments are the first steps towards second base!"

Images flashed through my head at that statement, and I became immediately anxious as i realized I now had another problem. I rushed past Sirius and towards my room.

"There's lotion in the top right drawer in the bathroom!" I heard Sirius call out behind me.

"SIRIUSLY!"

I'm so sorry for that awful and late chapter. My motivation hasn't been present recently so I'm finding it harder to get out chapters. Remember to review and follow my Instagram @magicallymadfanfiction for story updates!
