Sorry it took me so long to update today….I got the pleasure of going shopping with my Grandmother. Not that I don't love her to death and all, I just can't shop with her!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own H.P.

Once again. I KNOW the characters aren't all, well, in character………………..it's FANFICTION!

Harry's Journal

Okay,

not many things scare me, but I've got to admit that tonight seems pretty nerve wrecking.

I think, no wait, I know that I am going to ask that little, red head to date me…

What about Ron?

I should probably ask him first.

Not ask him to go out with me,

but to ask him if I can go out with Ginny.

Damn

He's going to beat me up……

Am I kidding myself?

She's way too good for me.

Don't talk that way!

Yay, now I'm talking to myself.

Why don't I just walk up to her and say, "Hi I am afraid of your brother, I don't think I'm good enough for you, and I'm a dork that talks to myself, but will you go out with me?"

Okay,

I need to stop….

I guess I'm going to go ask Ron now.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Harry knocked on Ron's door. He wasn't sure what he was about to say, but he was pretty sure that Ron wasn't going to approve.

"Hey, dude, c'mon on in." Ron told him, "You okay?"

Harry walked in the room and shifted his gaze to different places around the room. He finally settled for looking at a quidditch poster, actually at that point anything would have even better than looking at Ron.

"Actually man, no. I need to ask you a question and if you say no I completely understand, but I was just wondering if, well, tonight I was going to ask, well, your sister, Ginny, can I, do you, do you mind if I ask her to go out with me?" he finally got out.

"Oh, well sure, mate." Ron said taking a big bite out of a sandwich "Where you two going?"

"No, Ron, you don't understand what I mean, I mean do you mind if I well, to be blunt, ask her to be my, well, girlfriend?"

"Oh," Ron said standing up. He didn't want this guy, who obviously had ways to get beer, and God knows what else, dating his sister, he didn't want anyone dating his sister.

"Dude I dunno." He walked over to where Harry was standing and looked him square in the eye, which meant he had to stand on his tiptoes.

"How would you treat her?" Ron asked him

"With respect of course." Harry replied.

"If she says no, what are you going to do?" Ron asked.

"I'll get on with life, stay friends with Ginny, of course, and maybe go watch some porn." Harry said laughing.

Ron kept a straight face and asked, "Will you allow my baby sister, to do drugs?"

"No," Harry began, "that was a one time thing and won't happen again."

"And if she was in a situation where she didn't feel comfortable, would you pressure her into doing anything/" Ron questioned him.

"I wouldn't tolerate her being in this 'uncomfortable' situation to begin with." Harry told him, knowing that he was answering all the questions correctly.

"Alright mate! You passed, you can ask Ginny out." Ron said shaking Harry's hand and laughing.

"Thanks, I would stick around, but I told her I'd meet her downstairs at midnight, and according to your clock, it's 11:54."

With that said Harry turned and walked out the door. As he was walking down the hallway he couldn't help thinking how glad he was that the pop quiz was over, but if it was that hard to ask Ron, he couldn't imagine how hard it would be to ask Ginny herself.

He entered the living room and sat down on the couch to wait, but he didn't have to wait long, within minutes Ginny entered the room and took a seat next to the seemingly calm boy.

"You look….nice." Harry said probably not picking the best adjective to describe her. 'You idiot you could have said anything, like gorgeous, beautiful, stunning, and you picked nice.' But she did look nice, she was wearing a pair oftight, dark jeans and a t-shirt that said, 'Today was a total waste of hair products,' that fit her snug in all the right places.

"C'mon," Harry began in a voice that didn't sound like his own, "Let's go on a little walk."

"But, Harry, we're not supposed to leave the house after dark. Dumbledore said so himself, today." Ginny said frowning slightly.

"Now, have I ever been the one to follow the rules?" Harry asked.

Ginny laughed, "I don't know, I've only known you for a month, and other than the beer thing you haven't been a bad boy."

"Well, then let me start, c'mon, I'll make sure no monsters eat you." Harry took Ginny's hand and pulled her up.

"Is that a promise?" Ginny giggled as they walked out the door.

Ginny gasped when they got outside, for she wasn't use to going out after dark, and definitely not when the moon was so clear, shining down on the trees making everything glow, and the air was so crisp, and Harry, well, he looked so…nice, she decided. When the wind blew she could almost still taste his lips from the night that he had kissed her. But he didn't like her that way, she knew. He only saw her as a good friend, and maybe a slut to get a good snog from every now and then, but he didn't see her as any more than that. He was probably just going to ask her if Hermione, or one of her other friends, were single.

"Gin, I was wondering are you single?" he asked turning to look at her.

"Is who single?" she asked, knowing she must have heard him wrong.

"You." Harry replied, now nervous.

"Actually," she said, amazed he had asked her, where was Ashton? Was she being punk'd? (A/N-if you have no idea what I'm talking about, just ignore) "I am single."

"Well, then, would you b as kind as to be my girlfriend?" Wow, he didn't stutter or stumble over his words, he was proud of himself.

"Of course." Ginny answered, then she got on her tip toes and kissed Harry's lips, gently at first, but getting more passionate every second.

After their moment of pleasure, Harry put his arms around Ginny and they began to walk along in the moonlight, just satisfied with each other's company.

"C'mon let's start walking back, its cold." Ginny said shivering.

Harry took of his coat and draped it around here as they turned around and walked back to the house.

As soon as they got in Harry began to feel sick, but he didn't say anything because he didn't want to leave Ginny. But finally, it got to the point where his head was pounding and he knew he was going to throw up.

"Ginny I…I'll be right back" he muttered sprinting for the bathroom.

After he had been in there for about five minutes Ginny walked down the hallway and gently knocked on the door, "Are you okay? Wait, are you throwing up? Have you been drinking?" When Harry didn't answer her she knew something was wrong, so she opened the door. Not only was he throwing up, he was throwing up blood, and a lot of it.

"Oh my gosh, Harry, what's wrong, do I need to go get Sirius?" Ginny asked, she was scared.

"No, no, I'm fine." Harry said as soon as blood stopped coming out of his mouth, "I just feel a little light-headed, it's probably something going around. I'm just going to go lie down if you don't mind."

"No, of course not, here, I'll walk you to your room, incase you pass out or something." They began to walk down the hallway to one of the guestrooms Molly said Harry could stay in. Before they even got to the door he knew he didn't want to walk in.

"Lemme go in, first." Harry said and Ginny stepped aside with a questioning look on her face.

Harry pushed open the door and was amazed at what he saw, everything was upturned, drawers where everywhere, he stuff was thrown all about the room, and there was blood, lots and lots of blood, all over the bed and in the sink.

"Well, you're not Mr. Clean, are you?" Ginny asked, disgusted that even he could live like this.

"Go get everyone, all the adults, now!" Harry told her as she took off up the stairs, knowing know that he didn't keep his room like that.

"Mum, dad!" she yelled as she reached their room. "Something's wrong, Harry was throwing up blood and now someone's torn up his room!"

"Oh my" Molly and Arthur both got up, "Where's Sirius, dear?"

"Right here." Sirius entered the doorway, "I heard yelling, what's wrong?"

"Harry is throwing up blood and someone took apart his room, and there was blood, lots of it, all over the bed and in his sink!" Ginny yelled now in sobs.

Sirius's face got solemn, "Where's Harry?" he asked, fear flashing in his eyes

"In his room, or at least what's left of it." Ginny answered.

Sirius ran down the steps to the boy's room with the other three right at his heels.

"What happened?" Sirius asked Harry who was frantically searching for something in all of the mess.

"Someone was looking for something, and by the looks of it, they didn't find it." Harry said, "Dammit! Where is it?" he asked himself.

"What? Where is what?" Molly asked him.

"They took a very important green notebook. It had my life and a bunch of information we can't afford for the Dark Side to obtain." Harry answered.

"Whose blood is that?" Sirius asked.

Harry stood up and looked around the room until he spotted what he was looking for, "Hedwig's." he answered and walked out of the room.

"I'm so sorry." Ginny began, following him, but he wasn't paying any attention, he was looking for a trace that someone, anyone, had been there, but there wasn't anything.

Molly, Arthur, and Sirius all walked out of the room and into the hallway where the two were standing.

"Well, dear, no use fretting about it now. You need to get some sleep, but where to put you." Molly sighed, "I've run out of rooms."

"Could he sleep with me mum?" Ginny went out on a limb "I have a big bed, and Harry's a gentleman, he wouldn't do anything. Can he mum, please?"

The adults didn't say anything, they just looked at each other in amusement.

"Let them," Arthur said, "They've obviously hit it off pretty well, but Harry don't forget five o'clock sharp, you have to leave with Lupin."

"Yes sir, I won't forget." Harry said unimaginably happy that he'd get to stay in Ginny's room tonight.
