Chapter 10 – Now is the time
Soon as the large oak doors shut behind her she let out a frustrated screech and took her high heeled shoes off and felt the moist grass between her toes. Her shadow flittered across the black lake as the moonlight reflected in the centre, as she walked around the edge opposite to the castle. Suddenly she stopped and conjured a blanket on the ground under her temporary thinking tree, where she lay down leaving her feet hanging over the edge to revel in the moist grass.
She felt very vulnerable at that moment and was angry at herself for feeling that way; she had grown up a lot over her years at Hogwarts and wasn't that silly little girl anymore. She was very strong willed and refused to show any weaknesses to anyone apart from Harry, it was their little thing they did together. She felt comfort from the thought of her and Harry confiding in each other, mourning together their losses and much more. She lifted her back off the blanket and rested herself up using her elbows as she looked across the lake to see a small shadow moving closer to her.
..............................................................................................................................
The cold air hit Harry as he left the castle and moved into the grounds to follow Ginny, he could see her walking around the black lake and then she stopped and lay down.
Harry slowly jogged round to where Ginny was, he slowed down and started hesitantly moving through the trees towards her shimmering figure, she looked like a goddess.
"Sorry Gin." He spoke quietly as he neared.
She continued looking across and sighed, "No need to be sorry, just feel like I've been taken for a fool."
"He's the fool for giving you up." Harry stated as he lay down next to her inhaling her scent that he had missed so much over the last couple of days. She removed her elbows and lay completely flat on the blanket next to Harry.
"You would say that, cos you're my friend." She smiled at him shifting onto her side and Harry doing the same until they were facing each other.
"Would I now?" He smiled back while tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear.
"Yes you would, and good riddance for Michael; he was starting to get on my nerves anyway." She replied while she made slow circles with her fingers on the rug.
"Why? What was he doing? And why didn't you just dump him?" he said curiously.
"Well, he was becoming all controlling; he wanted to know where I was all the time and what I was doing." She sighed, "You know me I like to be my own person, and I didn't dump him cos he'd asked me to the ball and thought I would be really mean if I dumped him just before." She said, knowing she had lied a little, she knew she hadn't dumped him because she was trying to get over Harry.
"Aw right." Came Harry's response, he wondered if this was the time to say anything about his feelings. He was too late last time and now that they were all alone and no-one was going to find them as they were all enjoying the ball.
He took a deep breath, "Ginny I need to tell you something."
"Yeah, what is it?" As she looked up from the rug, and into his eyes that held a very concerned look, the same look as on the train after Christmas.
"Well...you see...I've been wanting to...talk to you...for awhile." He stuttered.
"Ok, what's wrong?" she asked reaching out towards him and gently grasped his hand.
He flinched with the contact and continued, "Nothing's wrong...well I'm not sure...it depends." Harry said as he lost her eye contact and started gazing around losing his trail of thought. He stood up and moved to the edge of the lake and ran his hands through his hair.
Ginny was starting to get worried, she knew Harry held alot on his shoulders. She knew one day that he would have to kill Voldemort, oh no she thought he's going to tell me he's leaving. Going off to vanquish him and he's going to leave me behind, no I won't let him. B
"Harry relax, it's only me. Tell me." She spoke as she moved off the blanket, so she was standing behind him holding his shoulders moving her hands softly up and down his arms.
Shivers
ran up and down his spine as he blurted out, "I love you."
Ginny
froze; her hands still holding onto his arms and was silent for a
moment all previous thoughts left her.
She shook herself and moved over to the blanket to collect her shoes where she had dropped them earlier, "Yeah Harry, I love you too mate." She smiled friendly at him as he turned to face her.
When she looked at him she knew that something was different, he wasn't saying it as a friend because she knew he loved all his friends. Ron and Hermione loved him very much too, but this was different.
He walked over to her and looked her square in the eyes, his eyes were blazing with a deep fire that Ginny had never seen before. "I love you more than I've ever loved anyone, I have for ages but..."
"But...?" She responded shocked.
"But I didn't want anybody to know. I'm so scared for you. Voldemort wants me Gin and he'll use any means possible, he'll use you." He replied shakily.
"How long have you felt like this?" She asked as she refused to meet his eyes and looked towards the ground, why hasn't he told me before now he knew how I felt about him.
"I'm not sure really...awhile...but I only realised the feelings were love in the summer break last year." He said, a little confused by her reaction.
"Last...year." She whispered to the ground. "LAST YEAR!" She then shouted looking at him, oh my god she thought all this time and he never said anything.
"Er...yeah." He said as he took a step back totally shocked at her reaction now.
She started pacing back and forth, muttering to herself. "I thought I was going crazy...but no...I wasn't, after all this time." She stopped and faced Harry directly, looking him square in the eyes. " Why tell me now?"
"I convinced myself that I was doing the best thing by not telling you." He replied taking one step forward.
"Don't you think I should have made that decision? I've waited so long to hear those words and you knew how you felt last year and you didn't tell me! I'm not scared of Voldemort anymore Harry, it wouldn't matter what he did, it wouldn't keep me from you." She explained feeling relieved she was getting this off her shoulders and glad Harry wasn't holding back.
"I know that now, well at Christmas I knew. I knew that I couldn't just have you as my friend. I needed more and when I came down that night in the kitchen and we got carried away, I panicked. I completely lost it...and tried to stay away from you but it's impossible for me to do that." He sighed moving closer to her and putting his hands on her hips.
"I tried to tell you on the train on our way back to Hogwarts but we got interrupted, next thing I knew you were gone." He spoke quietly as Ginny melted into his body and looked up into his gorgeous jade eyes.
"You're the most important thing in my life, I feel home when I'm with you and, I know how soppy this sounds but, it's been bottled up for so long that I had to say it." He continued to explain, abit more relived Ginny had calmed down.
"Harry, are you finished now?" Ginny whispered to him looking into his eyes.
"Yes," he gulped.
"Well then...kiss me." She hardly got the words past her lips as Harry's came crashing down onto her own.
Shockwaves ran through their bodies as they attacked each other's mouths. Her delicate hands came up to Harry's neck and she pulled him closer, deepening the kiss as he ran his tongue across her bottom lip, causing her to whimper into his mouth. As their tongues became tangled together Harry backed Ginny up into the tree's trunk behind her.
Harry pinned his body to hers as he ran his hands down her back to rest on her outer thighs, as he moved his kisses to her jaw and to her neck giving Ginny time to catch her breath. The pleasure of Harry doing this to her was different to the other times they had given into each other, they both knew now how they felt and knew they were going to be together until the end.
Ginny pulled his head back up and moulded her lips to his, as she ran her hands down to his back and grasped the bottom of his shirt as she pulled it from his trousers. Her finger tips stroked the skin beneath, causing Harry's breathing to become heavier as she moved to his toned stomach as he kissed her deeper. She removed her hands and started undoing his shirt buttons one by one, before it became too much for Harry and he ripped it open and threw it away.
Ginny's kisses moved to the crook of his neck, causing him to inhale sharply. She then move down his body to his chest. As Harry's hands reached for the zip of her dress and slowly slid it down revealing more of her lushes' skin that he craved.
Ginny stood up her chest heaving in anticipation as her fiery eyes met his longing ones. They both knew they were out of their depths but they had both longed for this and decided non-verbally that they would live for the moment. Harry's hands ran up her sides to her shoulders as he pushed the soft fabric from them, it slid down her arms and the whole dress fell to the floor. Ginny felt Harry's eyes travel over her body, she wanted him to see the whole of her as she stood their aching for him. He cupped her face and brought his mouth softly to hers as he ran his hands down her side, stopping at her thighs that he grabbed and lifted her up pinning her against the tree again as she wrapped her legs around him, not breaking the tender kiss they were sharing.
Gently carrying her from the tree he fell to his knees with her legs still surrounding him as he carefully laid her onto her back. Using one hand to support his weight, he moved the other to release her encased breasts. She stroked her fingers down his body to his belt buckle and started undoing it, along with his button and zip just as he threw her bra away with the other abandoned bits of cloth.
"I love you." He whispered into her ear as he kissed the sensitive part of her neck as she brought her feet up either side of Harry's hips and pushed his trousers down till they were gone.
"I...love...you...too." She replied as his hands started caressing her breasts, making her body arch and head fall back as she let out a deep moan.
Harry had never felt anything so good than having Ginny underneath him, with passion in her eyes, making sounds he loved and having her skin so close was intoxicating. She looked so beautiful, as the moonlight highlighted her body, her hair splayed out like a fan as it glistened. He moved his hands to her last remaining piece of clothing and she lifted her bottom up willing as he slid them down her legs, she reached for his boxers and did the same, as Harry let out a moan of his own. The heat was building between their bodies as they ached to be even closer to each other as Harry positioned himself again between her legs without any offending items covering them. He supported his weight on his elbows either side of Ginny, as he stared down at her tiny figure.
"Gin...are you sure?" He whispered finding it increasingly difficult to control his raging hormones that were rapidly pumping the blood around in his body.
Her eyes met his lovingly as she whispered back, "More than anything." She couldn't imagine doing this with anyone but the man who was above her.
Harry brought his body closer and rested himself at her entrance causing them both to moan, their bodies were trembling for one another as Harry slowly slid himself into Ginny as she let out a cry and her body arched as Harry crossed her boundaries.
"Ginny?" He spoke quietly as he stopped his movements.
"I'm fine Harry...just go really slow...for me." She replied shutting her eyes tightly against the sharp pain.
Harry started making little movements very carefully, trying not to hurt her further. He never took his eyes from Ginny's closed ones. Eventually he felt her body relax and felt a little movement coming from her hips as her eyes fluttered open and connected with his. The pleasure was soaring through her body now, and she let out another moan as she held onto Harry shoulders for support as he dipped his head down to kiss her sore lips.
His thrusts became deeper making Ginny moan louder, "Oh...Harry!" She whispered to him between moans, making him almost lose it.
Ginny's hips started moving faster, which sent the ripples of pleasure straight down Harry's spine causing him to moan and shout, "Gin...oh...god!"
They could feel their climaxes building as they rocked together under the moon and stars; they gripped each other's sweaty bodies like they could disappear at any moment. He pushed deeper into Ginny making her scream in pleasure as they both let go. They let the waves of pleasure wash over them as Harry plunged onto her mouth. He felt her muscles tighten around him and brought him over the edge as he let a deep moan into Ginny's mouth while trying to slow his body down till he eventually stopped.
He looked into her eyes; he could spend the rest of his life like this looking into her chocolate pools. She looked so beautiful and felt so lucky he had been able to experience Ginny fully and couldn't imagine having it any other way.
He lifted his head up and brushed a stray lock from her face, "That...was...brilliant!" He panted, as he rolled onto his side pulling Ginny onto hers so they were facing one another.
"Yeah...it...was!" She said as Harry wrapped his arms around her quivering body.
Harry didn't realise how wonderful it would feel making love to Ginny, it was nothing compared to what he thought it would be like. It was the best feeling in the world; showing each other how much they loved one another, he was in ecstasy and so was she.
Everything from the outside world was forgotten, this was their moment and they would fight together to make sure they continued.
Harry saw his discarded trousers nearby, grabbing his wand from the pocket; he conjured another blanket to cover their naked forms as Ginny snuggled closer to him resting her head onto his chest listening to the beats of his heart.

They didn't notice a small shadow across the lake watching them, his eyes glistening in excitement from the news he was about to reveal to his master.
