I disclaim for all chapters from here on out.
Ginny POV
Harry has done nothing. Harry has not left his dorm in two days. Ron brings him his meals and he only comes out for classes. The ball is only three days away and I really do not want to go with Neville, besides, he wants to go with Luna Lovegood. It is genuinely surprising to me how he is taking this. He fights Voldemort or Death Eaters off at least once a year, but when he has tiny girl problems he becomes a shut in?
"Ginny, I really think yelling at Harry may have slimmed your chances with him." Hermione said. I slowly turned my head and glared at her.
"You think?" I replied sarcastically. I didn't realize I was that scary and I wasn't even using magic! He is quite the man, isn't he? I hardly even yelled at him! Ron won't talk to me now, either. I am actually okay with that.
"Harry has to come out at some point. If he doesn't come out today, you and I are going up there to get him out of that room!" Hermione ranted as she glared at Ron's back as he went into the boy's dorm.
"How are we meant to get in there? The stairs will become a slide." I asked. I couldn't remember if that only happened if a boy were to try and enter the girl's dormitory or if it was both that and vice versa.
"Ginny, all we have to do is levitate up the steps. As long as we don't touch the steps we will be fine." Hermione said as if it was the simplest thing ever. How could I have not thought of that? I can see how the boys didn't, but me?
"Oh." I replied, ashamed of my stupidity.
Harry POV
I'm being a wimp. I haven't left my dorm for two days except for class. I'm afraid of what I would do to Ginny if I saw her. I might yell at her or, if I give into my impulses, I would kiss her. Then I would be killed by Ron and her plethora of ginger brothers.
I can't believe Ginny screamed at me that way. I didn't think she had it in her and I didn't know I had done anything to make her want to do that. I thought she didn't like me anymore!
Ginny POV
The entire day passed without any sign of Harry. That meant Hermione and I were headed up there after dinner. This was going to be interesting.
Hermione and I met up for dinner. Ron went in, grabbed two plates of food and left, off to the boy's dorm to eat with Harry, same as the last couple days.
"So, are we going up today?" I asked Hermione. She turned to me, pulling her eyes away from Malfoy again (still not quite understanding that) and nodded.
"Yes, we are. He chose not to come out. We will go straight after dinner while Ron is bringing the plates back, okay?" I nodded and we both finished our meals.
We left diner early and waited in the common room for Ron to come down. He came out half an hour after we got in and as he walked past, he glared at me. What a brother he is, right?
"Come on." Hermione said. "Wingardium leviosa". We both said. I felt my feet rise of the ground and we began ascending the staircase. My feet touched down and I turned to Hermione. She nodded and tried the handle. It was locked.
"Of course." I muttered under my breath. So, I took a step back and kicked in the door.
"Ginny! We could have just used magic to unlock it!" Hermione screeched.
"Yeah, well, I didn't think of it! Besides, my way was just effective." I shouted back. We both looked in the dorm at the same time to find a shirtless Harry Potter in only his boxers.
"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WERE YOU AND RON DOING UP HERE?!", Hermione and I yelled in unison. Harry's face turned crimson.
"Nothing! I started get changed out of my robes when he left!" Harry tried to explain. I certainly hadn't expected to see him quite like this. Maybe we should have knocked. I couldn't help but notice what wonders Quidditch had done for Harry's abs.
"You sure about that?" I asked as I tried to restrain my laughter. His face turned redder as he glared at me.
"I'm sure." He growled. He thinks he is scary. He is like delusional little puppy.
"Harry, you haven't come out of here! None of us see except for class. We were worried. Why are you even up here!?" Hermione can be motherly at the best of times.
"I don't know! How did you even get in here!?" Harry exclaimed. Hermione and I just looked anywhere but at him for a moment.
"How can you not know! You have been huddled up in here for days!" Hermione lectured on.
"Hermione, could I speak with Ginny alone for a minute?" Harry asked. What? Hermione looked between us for a moment. Then she nodded and walked out the door and let the slide take her down to the common room. I appreciate her leaving me to get scolded or whatever Harry plans on doing. Probably yelling.
I watched Hermione leave and as I turned around I was pulled forward. Two arms were around my waist in an instance. My arms were up in a surrender gesture against a bare chest. There were lips on mine in a second.
Harry Freaking Potter just snogged me. And is currently still doing so.
I pulled back ever so slightly. I wasn't shocked enough not to make clever quip. "I thought you wanted to talk to me Harry." I said, suggestively. He just smiled and tightened his grip around me and kissed me again. I ran my hands up his bare chest until they were wound through Harry's hair as I kissed him back. Then I remembered.
I was snogging Harry Freaking Potter who was only on his boxers. His broom and snitch boxers.
I couldn't take it. I burst out laughing. Harry's face turned red as he stared at me. I guess it's a bad sign when a girl laughs really hard when kissing a boy. It's probably bad for a boy's self esteem.
"What? What did I do?" Harry asked in a hurry.
"Look down." He did so and turned redder than any Weasley could. "There you go".
"I didn't think we were that close yet, Harry." I taunted. He turned his head away. I put a finger under his chin and pulled his face up to look at me. "They're cute." That didn't help his dignity.
Harry POV
I gave in to my impulses. I kissed her. She kissed me back. I am glad I gave in.
Ginny POV
"Was that the only reason you wanted Hermione to leave? Or did you actually want to talk to me about something?" I asked him. Harry was still holding me tightly around my waist.
"Yes. Will you, Ginny Weasley, go to the Yule ball with me?" he asked me. I hesitated, and he began to look worried.
"I don't know. I was thinking about going with Dean…" I replied. The look on his face was priceless. "Yes, Harry, I will go with you. I was only joking. I was waiting for you to ask."
"Yeah, so was I." He muttered under his breath. I don't think he meant for me to hear that. I giggled and kissed him again.
"Now, if we both want to live to see the Yule ball, I suggest you get more clothes on that just boxers and I go downstairs before Ron gets back." I explained.
He smiled and kissed me for a good while longer before I pulled away and left.
Harry and Ginny POV
Best day ever.
