Chapter 8:
There was on going party all day long in the Gryffindor common room. Though most of the girls left around 4 or 5 to go to their rooms to get ready for the dance.
When the team came through the portrait hole, the whole common room cheered and they were greeted by numerous pats on the back and hugs and "Good job!" and "Well done!" Ron was greeted by Hermione who gave him a huge hug and a big kiss and they made their way over to their favorite chair and began snogging as usual.
"Uh, Ginny," Harry whispered in her ear so no one would hear, but it was pointless over all the noise in the room.
"Yea?" Ginny answered him back but not whispering because she had barely heard him.
"Uh, this may sound stupid, but, do you want to go some place more private?" he asked her, not whispering either.
"Oh, Mr. Potter," she and smiled. He loved it when she would call him Mr. Potter, he didn't know why, but it was some joke they had and he couldn't resist her when she called him that. "I would go anywhere with you." She said smiling and kissed him on the cheek.
"Great let's go." He said and he grabbed her arm and they walked back out of the portrait hole.
"Where are we going?" Ginny asked, but was quite excited that she didn't know where Harry was taking her.
"You'll see, c'mon." He said and smiled at her the smile that melted her heart.
"Here we are." Harry said after going up 3 or 4 flights of stairs and corridors.
"Here? What? Harry I'm-" she began but he grabbed her arm and pulled her into an empty room. It was a beautiful room, it had a fireplace on one wall with a love seat in front of it, a little table in one corner set for two, a giant four post bed with hangings and blankets against one wall, and a beautiful rug on the ground in the middle of the room. The walls were dark blue with little shimmering silver stars and the ceiling was enchanted to look like the night sky even though it was still the middle of the day.
"Oh Harry!" squealed Ginny with delight. How did you ever find this room? It's so romantic!"
"It's the room of requirement, remember we used it last year for our DADA lessons that I taught in secret." Harry said and he smiled that smile that she loved so much.
"Well, shall we Mr. Potter?" And Ginny gave Harry her sexy smile he loved so much and she lay down on the bed waiting for him.
"Miss Weasly, I believe we shall." And he jumped on the bed and lay next to her. "You know that hickey you gave me? Well, no one noticed it, and I could barely see it myself. I don't think you're trying hard enough. That just won't do Miss Weasly." He said softly tickling her.
"Mr. Potter, please stop tickling me so I can try a little harder." At that he stopped tickling her and rolled on top of her and started kissing her sweet lips. Their tongues were not teasing this time but exploring each other's mouths. Ginny ran her fingers through Harry's hair and he slid his hands up and down her body kissing every inch of skin he could. She was teasing him again and not kissing his lips. 'Oh, why does she do this to me. I love her so much.' Harry's thoughts came zooming across his mind, 'I do love her, I really do, not just for her body, but she's a great person and I love her. I have to tell her'. While Ginny's thoughts were along the same line, 'Oh he's so warm. I just love it when he touches me, his hands are so gentle and he's so sweet I just love him! Oh, but I can't tell him that, he might think I'm a freak or something, I wonder what he's thinking.'
"Gin," Harry said, sitting up.
"Yes?" she said in a shaky voice and she was thinking 'Oh, no, he's going to tell me something awful, I know it, he's never this serious.' "What is it Harry?" she said trying to sound like nothing was wrong.
"Well, I've been thinking," he said very slowly and seriously.
"Oh, about what?" Now her voice was shaky and weak.
"Well, now don't laugh, and I'll understand if you don't feel the same way, but Ginny, I, er. Ginny I love you."
Ginny began to giggle and this made Harry really uncomfortable, he asked her not to laugh, and now he knew she thought he was just some dumb idiot. "Well, you really didn't have to laugh, it was hard enough to say it" He said rather crestfallen. "Harry, I'm not laughing at you" She said smiling. "Oh? Then what are you laughing at?" he asked her feeling very confused. "Harry, I'm laughing at how stupid I was being. I thought you were going to tell me something horrible like you were breaking up with me or something terrible like that. But now that I see how wrong I was and all I have to say is I love you too Harry." She said smiling. And Harry's grimace was replaced by his beautiful smile. "So, about that hickey" he said smiling. "I think its my turn to give you one." And he rolled back on top of her and began kissing her more passionately than before and he started sucking the back of her neck. She was kissing his neck and throat and chin and running her hands through his hair while his hands gently moved across her chest under her shirt. After a couple of minutes of sucking Ginny's neck, Harry kissed her lips and Ginny slid out from under Harry and got on top of him. 'Oh wow, I didn't know she was like this, well this should be fun. I'll just let her do what she wants to do.' Harry thought. Ginny lifted up his shirt and slid it off over his head. 'Well,' came Harry's thoughts, 'I wasn't expecting that. I wonder if she wants to have sex. I hope she doesn't. I'm just not ready to do that with her now.' Ginny kissed Harry's lips and she kissed down his neck and his chest and she began sucking his nipples. It was at this point that Harry started laughing. "What's so funny?" Ginny said looking rather embarrassed. "Nothing, that just tickles." He said still laughing. "Oh, well, do you want me to stop?" "No. I mean, do whatever you want." And Ginny smiled and kissed him on the lips and then resumed what she what she had been doing before he started laughing. She licked his chest and his stomach and Harry just lay there watching her take over with a smile on his face. Then he spoke. "Gin," he began "Yes?" "Do you think Ron and Hermione have done it?" "Had sex you mean?" "Yea." "No, they haven't. But Hermione wants to, she just doesn't want to tell Ron and scare him away." "Whoa. Hermione wants to? Wow, I never would have thought." "Me either." And she started kissing and licking Harry's stomach and chest again while running her right hand from his hair down the side of his face, to his neck, down his chest down his stomach and to his jeans and she rested her hand there and started thinking. 'Should I keep going? What if he freaks out, I don't want to scare him. I'll just leave my hand there and see if he says anything.' "You gonna go any further?" he asked "If you want me to." "It doesn't matter to me, you can do whatever you want." He said smiling and tilting her head up so he could kiss her and then he began running his fingers through her hair and feeling her body. Ginny slid her hand into his pants and grabbed his- "Ginny?" Harry asked more seriously this time than he had earlier. "Do you want me to stop? Because if you do I will. Did I do something wrong?" Ginny asked him a little embarrassed and worried at his tone. "Do you want to have sex?" he asked still more seriously. "Oh, uh, erm, I don't know." She answered him slightly taken aback at his forwardness. "I don't. At least, not now, not yet." Harry told her looking deeply into her eyes. "Don't take it the wrong way, I mean you're great and everything, and you're gorgeous. It's just, I'm not ready. Is that ok? But if you really want to, I mean, if you really really wanted to, I'd do it with you." He finished staring his love in her beautiful eyes. "Oh." She started slowly. "That's ok. I'm not quite sure I'm ready either. And if you don't want to, I don't want you to because I want to. I want us both to want to. It has to be special, you know." "Yea I know. Gin, you're great." He said and kissed her lips. "So are you Harry. Well it's five passed 7. I better get going and start getting ready for the dance tonight." "Right, okay." He said and then got up and put his shirt back on. "Your hair's a mess Harry." Ginny said giggling running her hands through his hair. "Well it's your fault." He said playfully and he kissed her on the cheek and picked her up off the bed and carried her to the door. And they headed back to the Gryffindor common room Ginny in his arms.
There was on going party all day long in the Gryffindor common room. Though most of the girls left around 4 or 5 to go to their rooms to get ready for the dance.
