Chapter 10
Ginny leaned in to kiss him again and at the same time pulled his shirt over his shoulders and from his arms. She leaned away from him to look at his body, it was strong, and more muscular than it had been when they were young she traced her hands up and down before taking his hands and leading them to the zip of her dress. Harry gulped and slowly released the zip. She took her arms out of the straps and let the dress fall to the floor around her, Harry gasped at the sight of her exquisite, freckle covered body. She was wearing nothing under the dress except for a pair of small lace pants, and the stiletto heels she had worn with the dress. Harry stepped back and drank in her whole appearance, "Is everything okay?" Ginny asked, suddenly becoming self conscious of her naked body.
"Yes, " Harry whispered breathlessly, he took her by the hand and pulled her gently with him as he stepped backwards and sat on the bed. "You are so beautiful, Ginny," he said huskily, pulling her down onto his knees so she was sat astride him on the bed. She smiled shyly and kissed him with a hunger and passion she did not know that she possessed, and Harry returned the kiss with the same hunger. She pushed him down onto the bed so that they lay together side by side kissing and touching other. Harry ran his fingers along her legs and between her thighs, Ginny arched her back in pleasure and moaned as he kissed her body. Harry removed his trousers and they came together making love with ease and passion and ecstasy.
An hour later they were still laid in Ginny's bed, neither of them had spoken since making love but they had continued to explore each others' bodies with their lips and their fingers. Harry laid with his head on Ginny's stomach listening to her heartbeat, feeling the happiest he thought he had ever felt in his life. His fingers traced circles around her chest, neck and shoulders and he looked deep into her eyes. Ginny was running her fingers through his hair and staring back at him with the same intensity, it felt like the most natural thing in the world for them to be where they were. The world outside of the Burrow did not exist to them anymore, they felt like the only two people alive and would be happy to remain exactly as they were for the rest of their lives. Harry was first to speak, "When I was gone, when I left you, a day never passed by where I didn't think of you, where I didn't wish things could be different, easy, and we could be together. I used to take the Marauder's map out and watch your tiny dot walking up and down in the common room or the domitories, I would stare at it for hours as if I could really see you, hoping that somehow if I stared at it long enough you would know where I was and you'd be able to appear in front of me." Ginny smiled at him. "That day you came through the tunnel into the room of requirement I thought my heart would burst, it had been so long since I'd seen you and all I wanted to do was take you in my arms and bury myself in you, but I had job to do, and I still didn't know if I would come out of it alive." Ginny began to stroke his hair and gasped when she saw a tear trickle from Harry's eye and land on her bare stomach. She continued to look into his eyes, listening to what he had to say, knowing he had probably never spoken of it to anyone else. "When I knew that I was going to die, I left the castle under the invisibility cloak so no one would see me, as I left the main entrance I saw you, you were holding a young girl who was crying, she was scared and wanted to go home. You were so brave and strong telling her you would take care of her, I watched you walk her inside. I wanted to throw off the cloak and call out to you, wanted you to tell me that I didn't have to go, that I didn't have to die, that I could stay with you and everything would be alright, but I knew that I couldn't, that if you saw me and came to me, that I would never be able to leave you again and do what I knew I must do."
"Oh Harry," she cried, "You must have been so scared." She sat up slowly and Harry turned onto his back, propping himself up on the pillows. Ginny looked down at him as he continued talking. "I was scared but I had to do it, I knew that you and everyone else would have a better life. I approached Voldemort and waited, I gave myself and let him kill me without fighting back, I saw him lift his wand and heard the curse but the last thing I thought of was you, I could see you and the image of you gave me the strength to stand there and die." Tears fell freely down both their faces and Ginny leaned forward to hold Harry and be held by him. He wrapped his arms around her as she laid her head in the crook of his shoulder.
"I never told anyone about that, Gin," he said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, but it finally felt right to tell someone about it, and I knew that someone was you."
She leaned up to kiss him again, this time it was a soft slow kiss that built up until they were exploring each other once more and making love in the bed where Ginny had spent so many nights dreaming about this but never daring to believe it would ever happen.
