Chapter Five: Ginny

"He seems nice enough," Ginny spoke up

"Ginny, thats ridiculous. he's a dangerous lunatic!" Ron exclaimed

"I wouldn't be too quick to judge him either," tonks said glancing at her mother.

"Right, he followed her," Andromeda answered

"Why?" Neville asked

"Not telling yet," Andromeda said, "Well dearies, I think that is quiet enough for tonight. Shall we start again tomorrow night? Yes, good. Sleep well," she finished standing up.

"Good night," Hermione said

Tonks smiled and then head out quickly.

"she left quickly," harry said.

"Probably off to see Lupin," Ron grumbled.

Harry looked at Ron and began laughing. Hermione let out a giggle and Ginny followed suit. Neville and Ron sat staring at the three laughing.

"What's so funny?" Ron asked

"Think of what you said," Hermione giggled.

"HOOOOOOWWWLLLL!!!!" Ginny howled. Harry and Hermione roared with laughter. Harry was clutching his side as he rolled. Neville's face finally lit up, "Oh, I get it," He said and started to laugh too.

"Fine, don't explain it to me," Ron said

"Ron, I know it's difficult, but think about what you're implying," Ginny gasped

"Oh, nasty! I can't believe what you guys think, awww you perverts!" Ron yelled. This just caused another round of laughter. Ron huffed and got up.

"Fine, you all continue with your twisted minds. I'm going to bed," Ron grunted and then marched out of the room.

"I'll go see if he's okay," Hermione said trying to surpress giggles. Hermione, then too, left in trail of ron. Neville soon followed.

"Well, that was certainly funny," Ginny stated.

"Yeah," Harry answered an awkward silence following.

Harry scooted away from where he sat and then leaned against the back of a chair. Ginny slid out of her chair and joined harry on the floor.

She sat across from, her legs crossed. The fire crackled and sparks jumped around the burning wood.

Harry turned and stared into the fire trying to avoid Ginny's gaze.

"Harry," Ginny whispered.

"Hm?" he answered, still looking away.

"I'm scared,"

Harry glanced up and looked at her.

"What?" he asked.

"In the Ministry, when," she paused and took a deep breath, "when Voldemort took over you. I was terrified. I thought, thought that we were going to lose you," Ginny whispered.

Harry's face softened and he took her hands into his. "Gin, I'm not going to die," he said.

"No!" she yelped pulling away, "you could and you know it. hen you go out I wonder if you are even coming back! I don't know what to think any more! Please just let me help you!" she pleaded, she was crying now.

Harry's heart dropped. "I can't do that, you can't go, I, I," he sputtered.

"Why?" she asked, "Why won't you let me in?"

"Because, its complicated," Harry answered, looking away.

"No,look at me! Just tell me why!?" Ginny exclaimed.

Harry lowered his head in defeat. "I love you," he whispered.

"What?" she asked.

"I love you and I don't want to hurt you," he said.

"You won't hurt me," she said lowering her face to his.

"I don't know what to do," he said matching her gaze.

"That goes double," she whispered.

He could feel her breath on his face. He closed his eyes and then laid his lips on hers. He could feel her recoil slightly, then relax.

He kissed her.

Harry could smell her shampoo, coconut. He began to deepen the kiss,not wanting to stop, but he stop abruptly.

Ginny gasped and then looked at him questioningly.

"I shouldn't have done that," he murmured.

Ginny's face fell, "Did you mean it?" she asked.

"Yes," he answered. She was beautiful. Her auburn hair fell just right around her face. Her green eyes sparkled from the previous tears. Her freckles, he loved them so much, lined the bridge of her nose and the tops of her cheeks.

"If I am not mistaken, you two should be in bed," came another voice.

Both whipped around to find Dumbledore standing in the doorway.

"Um, Professor, um, yeah, wwwe should. Um, well, goodnight Harry," Ginny kissed harry on the cheek then got up.

"Night," Harry called back. He sat for a moment in an awkward silence. His thoughts were racing. 'Had Dumbledore seen us?' was the main thought.

"Everything alright Harry?" Dumbledore asked.

Harry got up and turned to look at the fire. He wasn't sure how to answer him. He walked over to the tapestry and frowned.

"No, Professor, everything is not alright."

A/N: Ha! another cliffhanger. Remember to review and once again I am soooooo sorry for the slow update.
