36. "That was... awkward."

Harry x Ginny

He didn't really know quite how it had happened. Ginny had come over to his flat to have dinner. He'd ordered out for Chinese (her secret love) and they'd eaten and chatted and kissed occasionally. It had been a really average and really amazing night, as any time spent with her was. He was just clearing their plates.

He walked back into the living room and blinked once.

Ginny was standing in the middle of the room in just her underwear. It didn't cover a whole lot. His body reacted quicker than his mind did, luckily. He all but flew across the room and his mouth found hers.

Things had progressed from there. He later felt slightly embarrassment that their first time was in his living room.

Afterwards, she had curled up next to him on the sofa. Her hair was mussed in a way that made him want to actually grab her right there and then. She hadn't bothered putting any clothes back on, just brought his duvet down from upstairs and wrapped it around them.

She smiled. "I've been waiting for so long for that. You're such a gentleman." She smirked. "I thought I'd make the first move."

He laughed out loud. "It worked." She leaned over and kissed him full on the mouth. She crawled onto his lap, straddling him.

He was suddenly no longer tired, it didn't matter that he had work in the morning or that he had work to do now or that she had training in the morning or that he was incredibly tired. All that mattered right then was her.

Suddenly, the fire flared and Ron fell out of the fireplace.

"Hey Ha-" He choked on his words.

"Hey Ron." Ginny said, now sitting beside Harry with the covers pulled up to her neck.

"Hey." Harry ventured.

"You....Gin...baby sister...no..." Ron seemed to have lost the ability to speak.

"Yeah." Ginny said airily. "Stuff happens Ron, you should know. I know all about you and Hermione."

Ron flushed a deep red. Harry frowned slightly, he hadn't known about that. "I'm going." Ron said casting a dark look at Harry. "We'll talk later mate. And Ginny, just...just put some clothes on."

"'Kay, will do, bye." Ginny said. Ron disappeared very quickly back into the fireplace.

"Well...that was...awkward." Harry said.

Ginny burst into fits of laughter. "I know. Ron always did have a knack for choosing the wrong moments." She leaned across to Harry. "Now...where were we?"
