Hey everyone! It's been so long since I've written a fic….I'm sorry don't hate me! College is pain in the butt! I intend to write a lot more often this Christmas holiday.
HP twiheart: I got your message and I will definitely try and work on that this holiday! Thank you! It's a really awesome idea!
Well…..Here is another one shot. I probably could have waited till New Year's for this one but I bet I'm going to write a lot more before then! I didn't even read this over for mistakes in my excitement to post something again so feel free to point out my mistakes.
Hope you like it and please please review! They are always helpful and welcome! Thanks!
"Fallin' For You" by Colbie Caillat"
The Burrow bubbled with life and laughter covered with Christmas decorations even though it was just 2 hours till the beginning of the New Year. Music blared from Mrs. Weasley's old sound system and the Burrow was bustling with activity. Harry leaned against the wall of the doorway and looked at his adoptive family with a warm smile. He could hear Mrs. Weasley putting together, he was sure, something else to stuff him and the rest of the family with and from the occasional clanging of metal he knew Mr. Weasley was tinkering with the construction set that Harry and Ron had given him for Christmas, the twins were in the middle of a game of Exploding Snap, Ron and Hermoine were sitting on the sofa arguing about something, as usual, but he noticed the playfulness and amusement in their eyes and actions. He shook his head slightly and shifted his gaze only to lock eyes with deep brown ones that belonged to none other than Ginny Weasley. Her red hair seemed to gleam from the light from the fire and fell across her right shoulder in little waves. She wore a soft white sweater with jeans. Harry's heart pace quicken and tried to quiet down his "not so brotherly" feelings that he had been having for her since last summer and kicked into high gear after her break up with Dean Thomas. He would prefer to keep this little detail to himself. He wasn't too sure how to explain what he was feeling and didn't quite know how to act upon them especially with everything going on around him. She gave him a dazzling smile and realized she had also just observed the antics of his oblivious best friends as she looked at Ron and Hermoine and back at him again waving her finger in circles close to her head. She obviously thought his arguing friends were crazy.
I don't know but...
I think I maybe
fallin' for you
Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
keep this to myself
He let out a little laugh and shrugged. Ginny placed the book she had been reading on the table next to the armchair she had been sitting on and walked over to him. He waited in anticipation and nervousness. He really just wanted to just talk to her and find out every minute detail he could about her that observing her couldn't tell him. He said a silent thank you in his head for his two best friends for causing Ginny to come and talk to him.
Waiting 'til I..
know you better
I am trying..
Not to tell you..
But I want to..
"Those are quite some friends you've got there" she said as she leaned on the other side of the doorway
"You don't know the half of it. You can't imagine what it's like when they are actually angry with each other. I need to invest in some new friends" he sighed dramatically and put his head down
"Ohh, you poor thing, I'll be your friend" she sniggered and rubbed his arm in pretend comfort. "you are going to need a lot of support when their arguing become snogging, I just wonder when they are going to stop being so oblivious"
Her touch sent a jolt through Harry and moved his mind quickly away from the rest of her statement wishing he could be more than friends and have the chance to run his hands through her hair, hold her close, breath in her flowery scent and kiss those-
"Harry?"
"Oh erm..sorry…I-I was just lost in thought-"
"What were you thinking about?"
Harry practically blanched at the idea of telling her what was going on inside his head. Thankfully he was saved by Mrs. Weasley who cut in between them offering them both fresh cups of hot chocolate. The soon fell into a comfortable fun conversation led mostly by Ginny as she told him about how she always managed to put her brothers in their place just because of how much dirt she had on them. Harry was fascinated and over the moon with happiness and soon found himself struggling not to hold her hand or brush that stray strand of hair she had in her face. He needed to keep reminding himself. She was over him.
I'm scared of what you'll say I've been spending all my..time I've been waiting all my.. life
So I'm hiding..
what I'm feeeling..
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
Just thinking about ya
I don't know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you
and now i found ya
I dont know what to do
I think I'm falling for you...
I'm falling for you...
Their conversation was interrupted by a very uncharacteristic squeal from Mrs. Weasley as she was pulled into the living room by Mr. Weasley who pulled her close and began to dance to the music playing
Ginny rolled her eyes with a soft smile "That's their wedding song" she said in explanation to Harry who looked very confused.
Soon the twins had joined in by dramatically dancing with themselves and surprisingly enough Ron had also asked Hermoine to dance. Mustering up his courage Harry turned to Ginny.
"Ginny, Would you-" and before he could finish she replied "I'll love to" as she reached for his hand and he automatically pulled her close and they began to dance
As I'm standing here All around us I'm trying..
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
and we start to dance
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's juusst
you and me
Not to tell you..
But I want to..
She felt amazing. She leaned into him and he rested his head gently on hers and he could smell that flowery scent that drove him crazy and feel the soft texture of her hair against his cheek. She was so warm and soft and the monster in his chest purred in happiness. He wanted to tell her. He needed to tell her. A little part of his head reminded him he wouldn't be able to hold her this close again because they obviously weren't dating. A sense of despair filled him. He should tell her then maybe….just maybe if she feels the same he could continue holding her just like this.
I'm scared of what you'll say I've been spending all my.. time I've been waiting all my.. life Ooh, I just can't take it..
So I'm hiding..
what I'm feeeling...
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head
Just thinking about ya
I dont know what to do
I think i'm fallin' for you
And now I found ya
I dont know what to do
I think I'm fallin' for you...
I'm fallin' for you...
My heart is racing..
Emotions keep spinning out...
The instrumentals of the song began to quiet down, Ginny sighed and began to pull away. The pull of her away from him seemed to kick his Gryffindor courage in as he pulled her close and whispered in her ear
"I think I'm falling for you"
She pulled back slightly in shock and surprise to look at his face which was twisted in anxiety and hopefulness. She broke into another one of those dazzling smiles he loved so much and leaned against his chest allowing her to hear his quickened heart rate.
"It's about time…..because I've fallen for you"
DING DONG DING DONG
A cheer erupted from the room as the rest of the occupants celebrated the New Year, oblivious to the young couple who were sharing their first kiss.
I've been spending all my.. time I've been waiting all my..life I think I'm fallin' for you Ooohhh Oooh, I'm falling' for ya
