WARNING: I'm pretty sure this chapter should be rated M. Also, I won't be doing any more chapters quite as detailed as this one. I just wasn't really sure how to imply that they'd done something without implying that they'd done everything. There's only a couple of paragraphs of it though. And only a few sentences that actually make me cringe. Hopefully you won't mind too much...
And so it was that Ginny's birthday passed with birthday cake in the shape of a quaffle and a brand new watch. Ginny was slightly disappointed by Harry's present: a large box of chocolate cauldrons. But two days after her birthday he wandered into her bedroom-
"You ready?"
"Ready for what?" Ginny looked up inquisitively.
"I'm kidnapping you."
"Is anyone ever ready for a kidnapping?" Ginny parried his joke.
"You are." Replied Harry as he held up a rucksack and started walking towards her.
"Harry, what-" but suddenly everything went black and she felt like she was being squeezed through a very tight tube. Just as it felt like her lungs were about to collapse everything went back to normal. Ginny collapsed on the ground choking on the amount of air she'd tried to breath into her lungs.
"Oh Ginny I'm sorry. I completely forgot what it's like the first time. Are you ok?"
Ginny looked up at him, eyes streaming but she was momentarily distracted from her discomfort by her surroundings. It looked as though they were in a forest clearing although all around the walls of the clearing were hundreds of pink lilies. There were ribbons draped around the branches of the trees and over the top of the clearing. They glowed with a faint pinkish hue. What struck Ginny most of all though was the house elf that had come bounding over to her and was now helping her to her feet. Kreacher had undergone a complete transformation since the last time she had seen him. He now wore a fluffy white towel and spoke kindly.
"Is Miss Weasley alright?"
"Eh, yes, thank you Kreacher." Ginny gave Harry a look as Kreacher led her into a small tent in the middle of the clearing.
Inside was a table set for two. There were more pink ribbons draped around the ceiling giving off a pinkish glow and lanterns were hanging off the walls. The effect was very cosy and romantic.
"M'lady" said Harry as he pulled back a chair for her.
"Ha, eh, thanks Harry."
Ginny gave Harry a minute to sit down himself but as soon as they were both seated, Kreacher came running out bearing two trays.
"What is all this Harry?"
"Dinner." Harry explained uninformatively with a grin.
"Well I can see that but what's it for?"
"You didn't honestly think I got you just a box of chocolate cauldron's for your seventeenth, did you?" Harry replied with a wink.
"Well, I-" Ginny struggled exasperatedly.
"Just embrace it. Kreacher's cooking has increased ten-fold." Harry added, loud enough for the house elf to hear.
Ginny tried not to be overwhelmed as each course of her favourite food came out. It led to a very odd mix. They had fillet of beef wrapped around asparagus with bernaise sauce to start. Then a big noodle stir fry with all of Ginny's favourite vegetables and sauces and finally a rich chocolate cake with honeycomb ice cream and pralines.
"Thank you Kreacher, you can go back to Hogwarts now."
The house elf disappeared with a loud crack.
"Harry, I find it amazing that you know all this about me."
"Remember that I have lived with you for the majority of the last seven years. I picked up a thing or two."
"Ha, remember that I grew up with Ron. My expectations of boys' perceptiveness are very low."
"Well, we aren't done yet." Harry said, standing up and reaching for Ginny's hand.
"What? But-"
Harry had just taken her bikini out of the rucksack, followed quickly by his swimming shorts.
Ginny just looked quizzically from the bikini to the shorts and back to Harry.
"Ha, just trust me ok? Here, there's a place to change over there."
Moments later found them emerging from the tent hand in hand. Ginny was glad of the August heat.
"Did you really have to give me the giant dinner before putting me in a bikini?"
"You know you're gorgeous."
Harry pulled her around to the far side of the tent where she hadn't noticed a gap in the trees framed by an arch made with interwoven lilies and ribbons. The path that lay beyond was once again outlined by lilies on the ground and ribbons woven between the trees on either side.
"Oh Harry"
There was no denying that even though Ginny was wandering through a forest in the dark wearing minimal clothing, she didn't feel overexposed. She'd never felt safer. Harry wrapped one of his strong arms around her and led her through the archway. She was amazed by the amount of thought he had put into it. Apart from his minor lapse regarding the apparition, everything had been perfect since. He had even cleared the path along which they walked so that no stones or twigs were hurting her feet. After a few minutes of walking they reached another clearing. This one had a pool in the middle. The edges of the clearing were once more rimmed with lilies and ribbons. Harry led her over to the pool, sat down on the edge and hopped in. He was able to stand.
"Is it not cold?" enquired Ginny.
"Try it" suggested Harry in return.
Ginny sat down on the edge and dipped her toes into the water. It was the perfect temperature.
"Water warming charm," Harry explained. "courtesy of Hermione, of course."
And with that he put his hands around her waist and lifted her into the pool. Ginny had so many questions. Did her parents know about this? Did Ron know? How had he done it all? How did he know people weren't about to come traipsing through the trees? But she forgot them all as her feet touched the bottom of the pool and her eyes met Harry's. They stood there for a minute, his arms around her waist, her body flush against his. And then she stepped back, pulling him with her until she was leaning against the edge of the pool. She could feel his chest rising and falling against hers and feel his breath warm against her cheek. And then he tilted her chin up and brought her lips to meet his. It started off slow and deep but soon it grew heated and passionate. Ginny broke away after a few minutes, resting her forehead against Harry's.
"How do you know someone's not going to walk past?" she breathed, her chest heaving.
"The charms we used last year. Muggle repelling, cloaking, silencing. If anyone does walk past they won't be able to see or hear us."
"How do you know no one's going to come looking for us? If Ron-"
"I already asked him. Your parents know too."
"We're completely alone?"
Harry murmured his agreement into her neck which he had started kissing.
Ginny returned to kissing him with a renewed vigour. She felt Harry's hands trailing from her waist, cupping her bum and pulling her closer to him. They then moved upwards towards her bikini straps only to fall back down and rest innocently on her back.
"Harry," she breathed, a brazen look in her eye, while raising her own hand behind her back to pull one of the bikini ties. "we're completely alone."
This reminder caused Harry to swiftly untie the remaining strap on Ginny's bikini top and throw it onto the ground beside them. He then hoisted her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He held her up with one hand, the pressure between the wall and Harry's body keeping her in place. His other hand then started to meander it's way around her body to places it had never been before. The Hogwarts grounds weren't very conducive to intimate experiences. He massaged her breast with the one hand he had free, causing her to tilt back her head and moan. She'd never realised before how sensitive her nipples were. She forgot about controlling her impulses and started to push her hips into his. Harry groaned every time she thrust her hips against his until she felt him grow hard beneath her. Harry eased Ginny back onto the ground.
Ginny, taking advantage of her her new found freedom wasted no time in trailing her hand down his chest, past his stomach-
"Ginny!"
But this time it wasn't a yelp, it was a deep hoarse growl, begging for more. Ginny slipped his shorts down just enough to give her room to work. She then proceeded to wrap her hand around him and start moving her grip slowly up and down his shaft. Ginny could tell that Harry was enjoying it as his hands had now come to a rest on her boobs. He was completely preoccupied by the pleasure she was providing him. She brought her other hand down to aid the first and with in moments Harry was breathing heavily and beginning to thrust into Ginny's hand. All this time their lips had been almost touching, meeting every so often inadvertently as they moved, breathing into each other. Just as Harry groans became regular and he let out an
"Oh Ginny"
Ginny renewed kissing him, all the while paying attention to her hands and what she was doing. She gave his lower lip a gentle bite. This caused him to let out a gasp and the loudest moan up until that point. And suddenly, it was over. Harry leant his forehead against the top of her head, gasping for breath. Ginny let out a self-satisfied sigh. After a few minutes of regaining their composure, Harry ducked his head down to kiss Ginny deeper than he ever had.
"I love you Ginny."
Ginny was still gasping for breath. She rested her forehead against Harry's shoulder and he pulled her to him. They stayed in the pool another while, looking at the moon through the trees and the lilies and ribbons around the clearing. Harry summoned towels from the tent and soon they were making their way back to the tent, Ginny's bikini top still lying by the side of the pond.
When they walked back in the tent had been transformed. Where the dining table for two had sat in a kitchen, there was now a double bed. All of the kitchen appliances had disappeared. Harry flopped onto the bed on his back, still wearing his towel and swimming shorts. Ginny lay down beside him and then rolled over, resting her chin and hands across his chest. Her towel slipped down revealing her shoulder blades. Harry started to trace the shape of them. Her skin was so soft and so perfect. He could feel her bare boobs pushed against his chest and had to force himself to stop thinking about it. He moved his hand up to her hair, much safer territory, and looked her in the eye.
"I love you Harry."
And that was it, every minute of suffering was cast aside. All anger, frustration, grief and sadness didn't exist.
Ginny shivered slightly and Harry remembered that they were still wearing their wet swimming clothes. He went to sit up. As Ginny pushed herself off him he caught another glimpse of her wonderful, pert breasts as she wrapped herself up in a towel again.
"Enjoying yourself there, are you?" Ginny commented drily
Harry blushed bright red as he realised that his admiration had not gone unnoticed.
She hurried into the bathroom to get changed into her pyjamas and he did the same. Then they both got into bed.
"First time in a double bed." Commented Harry.
"Seems a bit unnecessary don't you think?" Ginny replied, as she shimmied her way over the Harry's side of the bed and rested her head on his chest.
Well that was a bit trickier than I expected. I'm a little bit uncomfortable about the Harry Ginny intimate scene. Anyone else? How do you think I handled it? Honestly, flames and all. Please review.
