"Harry Potter! You wake up right this minute!" Ginny shouted on Saturday two weeks later. She had just gotten back from her tryout with the Harpies to find her boyfriend fast asleep on the couch. Auror training was really pushing him hard. But he loved it, of course. Mrs. Weasley was humming in the kitchen as she cleaned and Ginny could faintly hear her dad talking to himself in his shed full of Muggle toys. Ron and Hermione were still in Australia after leaving a week ago. George was mourning at his shop and so it only left Harry and Ginny in the house.
"Er, what? What time is it?" Harry complained groggily as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"Four. And I have news!" Ginny cried, bouncing on his legs. Harry closed his eyes again, but Ginny wouldn't have it. She started to poke him in the side until he finally sat up and pulled her to him.
"Yes?" He said in between yawns.
"I just got back from my tryout, and guess what!" Ginny sang with a huge grin plastered on her face. Harry couldn't help but smile too.
"What happened Gin?" He said eagerly.
"Oh nothing. You know, if you call nothing being given the chaser position!" She yelled. Harry's jaw dropped and the two could hear Mrs. Weasley drop her knife and rush out into the living room.
"Are you serious!" Mrs. Weasley exclaimed, her eyes wide. Ginny nodded mutely still grinning. "Well that's great! This calls for a celebratory dinner! I'll send out owls to the rest of the family!" Mrs. Weasley hugged her daughter quickly then hurried out to the shed to share the news with Arthur Weasley.
"Ginny, this is great! I knew you could do it! Merlin! You're head chaser for the Holyhead Harpies! This is your dream!" Harry exclaimed hugging Ginny close to her. He got a small whiff of her and politely pushed her away. At her questioning look he explained. "No offence, but you smell. Shower?"
Ginny laughed but jumped up anyway. She looked at Harry with that glint she got in her eye and held a hand out. "Join me?"
"Ginny…" Harry stuttered. His eyes swept over her body quickly and he had to hold himself down. "Trust me. I want to, but not now."
"Why not?"
" I want to wait!" Harry argued. Ginny groaned and glared at him. They loved each other and she knew they were going to spend the rest of their life together anyway.
"Why?" She muttered finally.
"Because it's right. I'll wait here for you. Hurry back?" He asked. She sighed and nodded.
"Fine. I understand. "
She couldn't wait to marry Harry and officially start their life together. She understood his wishes, and would respect them. Honestly, she wanted to wait too, but didn't know how. Once in the bathroom she stripped down and stepped into the warm water. She sighed as it cascaded down her back and washed the grim out of her hair. Ginny quickly washed the rest of her body and stepped out, wrapping a towel around her. She made her way to her room and changed into some old worn jeans and a Harpies jersey before tying her hair back into a pony tail and running down to join Harry on the couch.
"I am sorry you know. I want to wait too. I just don't want to wait to be married. I know us, and I know we will get married. But I'm seventeen now, and you're eighteen. A little young to get engaged, let alone married!" Ginny told Harry after she snuggled into him.
Harry ran his fingers through her hair as she spoke. "Gin, trust me. We will get married. You're the only one for me. But it's right once we're married. Wait two years or so. Just wait."
"I love you Harry," Ginny said quietly, looking him straight in the eye.
"I love you too Gin."
The two turned towards the door as someone let themselves in. Bill and Fleur came through, followed by Mr. Weasley and George. Charlie was still in town and showed up five minutes later. Soon the whole family was present and congratulations were spread all around. After a really nice dinner, everyone was handed a nice glass of Firewhiskey for a toast.
"To Ginny, the new head chaser for the Holyhead Harpies!" Mr. Weasley exclaimed.
"Ginny!" Everyone else chorused. Ginny grinned and leaned into Harry's embrace. She had an arm around his waist while he had one around her shoulders. Everyone raised their glasses before drinking. Ginny and Harry knew when they had had enough to drink, but it was quite obvious that George and Charlie did not. Those two had certainly put on a show. But after they sang a horrible duet from the Weird Sisters, Harry and Ginny knew it was time to head up. It would really only get worse from there.
The two stood outside Ginny's room to say goodnight. "Night Gin," Harry whispered.
"Night," Ginny said quietly looking up at Harry. He suddenly captured her lips with his and kissed her hard. It was still loving like all the other kisses had been, but still very desperate. Like he was afraid of loosing her again. Ginny pulled away a few minutes later and stared up at her boyfriend.
"I love you Harry," She said strongly.
"I love you too."
I don't know if I like this one. At all. I feel like I'll probably take it off. I'm not sure though! For some reason, to me these two feel like they would wait until marriage. Maybe it's just that Harry, even though grew u in a horrible environment, has his morals. I don't know. Also, I'm a pretty strong Christian, so I have morals also. ;) Anyway! I think I'll take this to the epilogue, or at least close…
