Harry paced anxiously, carefully working himself up to the task at hand. Among other things it would require raw determination, true grit, fortitude of character and the type of bravery possessed only by the truest of Gryffindors. Why then were his hands sweaty and knees weak? He forced himself out of the dorm room and down to the common room. He approached the challenge, opening his mouth to speak, but her dazzling smile froze him in his tracks. Rather than asking the newly single Ginny out, as he'd planned, he mumbled something about Nargles and ran for the portrait hole.

A/N: Who doesn't remember that feeling of absolute terror when it came to confronting the object of ones affection? This was my goal with this one. Thanks!
