Right here waiting

Right Here Waiting.
Harry awoke in the Common Room hours later; Ginny cradled in his arms, sleeping happily. 'How did this happen?' He asked himself. A moment later he remembers the snowball fight, the walk back to Gryffindor tower, and falling asleep in front of the fire while trying to warm Ginny up.
His eyes look her over, taking in every feature, every freckle, and every curve. "How could I have not noticed you all those years?" He mumbles, mostly to himself.
Ginny's eyes open slowly. "I asked myself that every day for over four years." She replied, smiling up at him.
Oceans apart day after day. And I slowly go insane. I hear your voice on the line. But it doesn't stop the pain. If I see you next to never, How can we say forever?
"Can you ever forgive my blindness?" Harry asks, lowering his face to hers so that their lips were almost touching.
"Well... I don't know... You'd have to do something rather spectacular to make up for four years of neglect!" Ginny replied, half seriously, half playfully.
Harry closed the distance between his lips and Ginny's. She extended her arms to wrap around his neck, as he placed one supporting hand underneath her, and entwined his other into the beautiful red curls that marked Ginny as a member of the Weasley family.
When they parted a few moments later, Harry noticed that Ginny had closed her eyes, but had a look of utter contentment on her face. "You are forgiven Mr. Potter." He heard her mumble.
Wherever you go, Whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you.
"And what if I said that I felt that isn't enough of an apology?" Harry whispered, a thin smile spreading across his lips.
Ginny, who still had her arms around Harry's neck pulled him closer, until their lips were almost touching.
"Stealing my maneuvers eh Miss. Weasley?" Harry said, his smile growing.
"Yes I am. And to answer your other question, I would tell you to kiss me again." She said, as she pulled him closer, and their lips met.
Thoughts raced through Ginny's mind faster that Firebolts. 'I always knew that Harry and I were perfect for each other, but I never knew we were this perfect for each other!' Ginny felt as if she were floating in midair.
I took for granted, all the times, That I though would last somehow I hear the laughter, I taste the tears, but I can't get near you now. Oh can't you see it baby? You've got me going crazy.
As Harry's lips met Ginny's he could feel all of his problems simply melt away, as if they had never really mattered at all in the first place. He felt as if nothing could get him down, as long as he had her in his arms. 'This feels so right, I wonder why I never felt it before?' Harry asks himself.
As their lips parted, Ginny smiled. "Are you finished apologizing yet?" She said in a playful tone of voice.
"I'm not sure, I'll let you know." Harry's remark made Ginny giggle as he leaned in to kiss her again, and the only thing he got was a mouthful of fiery red hair.
Wherever you go, Whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you.
Ginny laughed loudly, and Harry clamped a hand over her mouth to silence her.
"We don't want anyone awake just yet." He whispered to her after he had detached himself from her hair.
Ginny looked up at him and started to say something, but I came out as mumbling because Harry hadn't yet removed his hand from her mouth.
"Oh! Sorry!" Harry said as he removed his hand from her face.
"As I was saying, Why don't we want them up yet? Pray tell?" Ginny asked in a half whisper.
Harry gave her an 'As if you didn't know' look, and said "Because, My dear, we would then have to share this extremely comfortable couch with numerous other people."
Ginny smiled up at him. "You're evil Harry Potter!" She whispered.
"And you wouldn't have me any other way." Harry countered.
I wonder how we can survive, this romance. But in the end, if I'm with you, I'll take the chance. Oh can't you see it baby? You've got me going crazy.
Ginny started to respond, but Harry stopped her by kissing her once more. He moved the hand that was under her, to get a better grip, and Ginny lunged forward her head bumping into his.
"Ow..." Harry said, moving his hand to rub his head.
"Then don't tickle me next time!" Ginny said, laughing silently.
"Well, I didn't mean to tickle you, but I guess it's good that I found out where you are ticklish." Harry said, grinning mischievously.
Wherever you go, Whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you. Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks, I will be right here waiting for you.
Ginny shot him a look that said 'Don't even think about it'
Suddenly there was a bustle of activity from the dorms, and Ginny slid out from underneath Harry. "I should go get changed, I think there would be too many questions if I was still wearing yesterdays clothes."
Harry nodded. "I guess I should change too." He said, getting to his feet.
They had both just about reached the bottom of the staircases that ascended to their dorm rooms when Ginny spoke. "Harry?"
"Yes Ginny?"
"Meet here when we're done?"
"I'll be right here waiting."
Waiting for you.
Ginny smiled and headed up the stairs to her dorm. A moment later Harry started up the stairs to his.
~I don't like this one as much as the first chapter, but it's OK I guess.~
~Let me know if you like it, and if you want another chapter.~
~I honestly don't know where the story is headed, it almost writes itself.~
~I'll eventually get to something that resembles a plot soon, I hope.~
~For the record, it took me only a few hours to write this.~
