Chapter 11 – The Invitation

Harry and Ginny walked outside the Great Hall. They walked over to where they were out of the way and started making out. Soon after they started making out there was a bright flash. "Colin!" Harry and Ginny yelled. "Sorry I couldn't help but to get a picture of the star player and his good luck charm." Colin said, sheepishly.

Harry sighed but realized it wasn't worth yelling at him. "It's fine, you just scared us. You know, you really shouldn't take peoples pictures without their permission like that. It can be really humiliating." Harry said. "I'm sorry, I'll try to be more considerate." Colin said, before heading off to his first class. "We better be off too." Ginny said, kissing Harry on the cheek.

Ginny and Colin walked to their first class and Harry, Ron, and Hermione walk to theirs. "Did Colin take your and Ginny's picture again?" Ron asked. "Yeah, I don't know why he's still so excited about seeing me." Harry said as they got to the door of their first class.

Harry was the first out of charms class. "Ron, what did you think about that class?" Harry asked. Well, having Hermione on your cases sure has helped, hasn't it?" Ron said a smug grin on his face. "Well, you don't have her on your case and see where that's getting you." Harry said, teasingly. Ron went red. "You know she's only looking out for us. Still, I prefer to just get her notes before the test." Ron laughed. "Hey! Keep talking like that and I'll stop." Hermione said in a playfully nagging tone. "Wait, what? No! Please don't" Ron said. They all started laughing as they walked to their next class, divination. Harry groaned on the inside because it was a double period.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked over to an empty table next to a window that was coved with thick red curtains. Harry looked at their teacher who was wearing her normal oversized glasses and excessive amounts of beaded shawls. Harry wound up drifting off in class. He didn't think Professor Trelawney even noticed. After class Harry ran down to the entrance hall to meet up with Ginny. When Ginny saw Harry coming down the stairs she ran and jumped into his arms. Harry stumbled but managed not to fall.

Colin walked over to Ginny and Harry. "May I take a picture of the two of you together?" Colin asked. Harry looked at Colin and smiled. "Thank you for asking, yes you can." Harry said turning Ginny around in his arms so they were both facing forwards. Colin was so happy that he got a good picture of Harry and Ginny without getting yelled at. Harry, Ginny, and Colin walked into the Great Hall for lunch.

Harry saw Hermione stand up and wave them over. When they sat down Ginny smacked Ron because he was stuffing his mouth so fast that it seemed like he was about to choke on his food. "Bloody hell! What was that for?" Ron asked, his mouth still full. He glared at Ginny. "You need to slow down when you are eating." Ginny said, leaning into Harry.

Hermione smiled at Ron as he started to eat again, this time slower, but he didn't see her looking at him. Ginny looked at Hermione smiling at Ron, then whispered what see saw in Harrys ear. Harry looked over and saw what Ginny was talking about. The bell rang saying that it was time to go to the next class. Harry kissed Ginny before they separated for class.

After the last class of the day Harry walked as quietly as possible up the stairs from the dungeon to the entrance hall. Were he found Ginny standing next to the hour glasses that recorded the house points. Harry got a small surge of satisfaction seeing that the Slytherin's glass was all but empty. They must be working hard to gain back points.

Harry walked over to her and hugged her from behind. "Harry what are you doing?" Ginny asked. "Well, I didn't want to interrupt what you were doing so I just gave you a hug from behind." Harry replied. They walked up to the Grate Hall for dinner.

Fred and Gorge walked over to Harry and Ginny and said "We just got a letter from mom, she said she wants Harry to come to our house this Christmas break." They walked away without letting anyone say a thing. "I wonder what she wants with me." Harry said, puzzled. "She might want to talk to you about mine and your relationship." Ginny replied.

They left the Great Hall and started up the marble stair case. Harry and Ginny walked through a tapestry to fine Penelope Clearwater making out with Percy. "That's something you don't see every day, A Head Boy making out with a school prefect behind a tapestry." Harry said just loud enough for Percy to know that they were no longer alone. He jumped in the air when he heard Harry. "Don't tell anyone what you saw." Percy Weasley said strictly as he and Penelope left the passageway.

"I guess they didn't want to get caught kissing again." Ginny said as they got to the portrait of the fat lady. "Yeah, gumdrops." Harry said. The portrait swung forwards revealing a hole that led into the Gryffindor common room. They headed up to their dorm room, when their PJ's were on they crawled into bed and pulled the bed curtains closed and stared to make out.

After what felt like hours had passed, though it was probably just an hour, they stopped when they heard Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Nevil come in. "I guess they went to bed already." Ron said as he got changed. The other boys got changed and got into bed. Soon the room was quiet except for Nevil's snoring. "I guess it's time for us to go to bed." Ginny said, taking Harrys glasses off him and putting them on their bed side table.

"Ginny, I love you very much, good night my sweet lady." Harry said with a smile. "Good night my strong hero." Ginny said, cuddling close and going to sleep. Harry laid there cuddling with Ginny thinking of what Mrs. Weasley wanted with him. He lay awake all-night thinking about what was going to happen when he showed up at their house Christmas break.

I hope you like this chapter. I know it was short but it is going to happen. I know that it seems like I'm trying to do day by day but I'm not, it's going to jump a bit, how much I don't know yet. If you have any ideas let me know through PM and I will give credit if that is what you want and if not, I will just say anonymous. (GD)
