Chapter 21: A day after and the day before

I do not own Harry Potter.

Harry's POV

I stir slightly and feel something, or rather someone, pressed against my side. I open my eyes to find that I am sitting in the Gryffindor common room, a red head laying on my shoulder. A flowery smell filled my nose and I smiled, remembering how earlier in the year I had smelt the same thing from the cauldron filled with amortesia. Ginny moves her face so that it is buried in my neck. She mumbles slightly to herself and then her breathing evens again.

Last night after finding Ron and Hermione we had danced and talked, until we made our way up to the common room, which was almost empty and talked a bit more before we fell asleep. I am glad that everyone is sleeping in the room of requirements and didn't have to come through here, or else Ron and his brothers would have killed me. I am about to close my eyes again when I hear a voice.

"What time is it?", the voice is drowsy and then a yawn escapes Ginny's lips.

She looked up at me and grins.

"Er…it's like 10 maybe?", I ask.

She shrugs and puts her head back down.

"It too early either way", she responds making me chuckle.

"Yesterday was fun, wasn't it, I mean after I got over the fact that I saw my brother snogging Hermione, although we all knew it would come", she says.

"Yeah, it was fun, and I'm glad they at least have one day", I say.

She nods and her smile flattens a little.

"What's wrong?", I ask her.

"Nothing, it's silly really", she says, shaking her head.

"What is it Gin?"

"Well I mean, after they erase our memories, we won't be aware that this happened, what I'm trying to say if that…I mean maybe you won't like me in that sense anymore", she looks down, a blush appearing on her ears and neck, a blush that I had almost never seen on Ginny Weasley.

"I doubt that", I tell her.

She looks back up and raises an eyebrow.

"I mean you are pretty hard to forget, your personality, your laugh, your beauty, it's cheesy, I know but it's true", I tell her. She smiles and blushes.

"But we still won't remember today or last night"

"Someday we'll know it happened"

"I guess"

"I don't want to forget it either, but someday we'll share other memories, won't we?", I ask.

She grins and nods. I look straight into her amazing brown eyes and smile slightly. Her grin goes down to a small smile and her eyes slowly blink. I take the opportunity and lean in. Her eyes flutter shut and I let mine close too, letting my lips crash to hers. My hand make their way to her waist and her hand positions itself on my arms. We break apart after what seemed like forever and I rest my forehead against hers.

"You always know what to say", she whispers, before connecting her lips back on mine. If this is what it was like being with Ginny then I think I am in for a treat, I think, smiling into the kiss.

Ron's POV

I wake up, my head buzzing with excitement. Quickly, I stand up from my bed and change into my clothes hurriedly before going down to the Great Hall for breakfast.

When I get there I see that Harry, Ginny and Hermione are already seated at one of the tables. I grin and sit down next to Hermione, taking my hand in hers and kissing her cheek. She blushes a little and smiles, making her look much cuter.

"Do you think it was me or you?", I hear a voice behind me and turn around to find my older self and Hermione standing behind us, older Harry and Ginny behind them smirking.

"I don't know honestly", future Hermione says.

"What are you two wondering about?", young Harry asks.

"Oh just who it was that made the first move this time, considering it was Hermione last time, I think it was the same this time around", future Ginny responds.

"I don't know Gin, I mean Ron got the nerve to ask her out after all", future Harry says.

I clear my throat.

"Still here", I tell them and wave my arm causing them to chuckle.

"Anyway so tell us how it was? We haven't even heard the story yet", my younger sister says.

"Er…", I look at Hermione.

"Well…", she shrugs.

"We just went outside, and er…yeah", I say uncomfortably.

"But who made the first move?", older Harry asks again.

"Ron did", Hermione says.

"See love, I told you", future Hermione says.

They sit down and eat with us as we start talking.

After we had finished our food I stand up.

"I think I'm going to take a walk", I tell them, "would you like to come 'Mione?"

Hermione grins and stands up, waving goodbye at everyone and taking my hand.

We walk out of the entrance hall where people give me thumbs up and smile at us.

"So 'Mione?"

"Yeah?"

"I wish we could just keep our memories, that way we'd have a whole year together at Hogwarts", I tell her.

She nods, smiling slightly.

"But, if we did things could go horribly wrong and I mean we will be together eventually, won't we?", She states.

I sigh and shrug.

"I s'pose but if still like to spend more time with you"

Silence.

Scared I turn to look at Hermione, maybe I had gone a bit too far.

She is smiling slightly and her eyes are shinning.

"Did I say something?", I ask.

She shakes her head and gives a breathy laugh.

"Merlin no!", she says and before I react her lips are on mine, her arms around my neck.

It takes me by surprise but after a little I relax into the kiss and hug her waist.

We break apart but we leave our faces close enough so our noses are touching.

"I could get use to that", I tell her, grinning.

She giggles.

Dominique's POV

I walk out of the great hall, my brother and Roxy behind me.

We turn to see a couple kissing and see that it is non-other than Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny. I smile at them, but obviously they don't see me considering they are trying to swallow the other. A girl suddenly appears out of nowhere and takes my brothers arms, before he can react the girl forcibly pushes her lips against his. He struggles a bit until after what seemed like ages the girl pushes away and smiles, breathing heavily.

"Bye PooBear", she says flirtatiously and walks away.

My brother looks dazed and confused for a second as Roxanne and I just stare at the girl with wide eyes.

"Remind me why I asked her to the ball again?"

Roxanne smirks.

"You thought she was 'hot'", she responds.

Louis looks back at where the girl had left and then at us.

"PooBear?", I snort.

"Oh sod off"

With that we burst out laughing.

Sorry this chapter was a bit short and took sigh a long time. Since it's nearing the end of the school year I have been doing tryouts or auditions for everything…color guard, orchestra, art acceleration, etc.

I will try to post more often!
