you guys, this is getting near the end. : ( Might just be a few more chapters or so.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny wrestled with the Bludger, trying to force it back into the box. After the…confrontation with her brothers, they had given
her a wide berth and seemed to be much nicer to Harry.
I guess this is my punishment, huh? Don't complain, the expressions on everyone's face was worth it if you ask me. And
Harry is here, helping you clean up. That's got to be a good sign. He hasn't said anything to me, though. He just keeps on giving me these really, really, really smug smiles, the arrogant prat. Well, this is the second time you've kissed him in as many days.
It was true. Harry, as he was putting the Snitch and Quaffle back in their nets and into the chest, was glancing her way and
smiling every so often, like a cat who has just discovered a mouse. Ginny placed the other Bludger in its place next to the first
one and wiped her hands on her robes.
"Well, that seems to be everything," she said brightly, hoping to get some sort of remark from him.
"Umm-hmm," came the reply as Harry closed the chest shut and straightening up. They faced each other for a moment. Why
am I starting to get nervous? Could be that look on his face, the boy is definitely up to something.
"Well, lets get this stuff put up and head back to the castle, I'm getting hungry," she said, wanting to break the silence that had
fallen over them.
Harry simply smiled again and nodded as he lifted the chest and carried it over to the shed under the stands. He placed the
chest inside and placed a locking spell on it. Madame Hooch was the only person who could now get inside. Ginny watched
him as he did this, wondering what the devil he could be up to. Harry strolled back, that same cat-and-mouse smile on his face.
He walked right up to her, very close in fact.
"Ginny?" he almost whispered in a very deep, soft tone.
"Yeah, Harry?" She swallowed nervously, noticing the very devilish gleam
in his eye. She almost swore she saw horns growing
out of his head.
He leaned in further, where he was almost nose to nose with her.
"It's my turn to kiss you senseless." He pulled her to him as
warm firm lips descended onto hers. Ginny felt her world spin
out of control as he kissed her. A bit later, he raised his head,
his green eyes practically sparking.
"Are you senseless yet?" he grinned, knowing the answer already.
YES! "Um…no, not yet."
His grin got bigger, and even more devilish. "Let me try again,"
he whispered against her lips just before giving her a very deep,
slow kiss.
When his lips left hers, stars swam before Ginny's eyes as she tried
to focus in on the dark haired boy in front of her. If it
wasn't for the pair of arms holding her tight around the waist, she
would have collapsed at his feet. A steady pulse thundered in
her ear. She wondered if Harry could hear it.
"What about now?" he asked.
Ginny had to learn to breathe again before answering, "I'm not as easily
rendered senseless as some people."
He chuckled and kissed her again. This was the worst, or best
of them all, as Harry didn't merely kiss her, he tasted her in a
long, hot mind blowing kiss, biting gently on her lower lip and tracing
a path to her ear and pressing another kiss just on the soft
patch of skin just below her earlobe. Ginny's mind could barely
register that he seemed to have a problem breathing as well
since puffs of warm air stirred the hair around her neck.
"I think that one pretty much did it," he gasped, causing her nerve
endings to go haywire, sending shivers down her spine.
Ginny could only nod slightly. He is lethal.
Oh yeah.
***********************************
How Ginny got back up to the castle was a complete mystery to her.
She couldn't seem to recall too much after that last kiss,
only vague memories of Harry's strong arm around her as he led her
up the great stone steps into the hallway.
She was now happily seated in her favorite nook under the girls' staircase
curled up in her favorite chair, which of course,
turned out to be Harry.
"So, let me get this straight," he drawled, as she pulled back from
kissing him and laid her head on his chest. She could hear the
thudding of his heartbeat in her ear.
Who knew Heaven was at Hogwarts?
"…you've been purposely driving me insane for the past few weeks, is
that correct?" she heard him finish. She giggled and
nodded. "And would this be because I've been a stupid, blind
git for the past few years?" Ginny nodded firmly again, nuzzling
his neck while his hands tangled themselves in her hair.
Harry seemed to ponder this for a moment. "Fair enough," he said,
pressing a kiss to the top of her head. "So, now that I've
been enlightened to the beautiful, talented, devastating firebrand
known as Ginny Weasley, am I to be let off the hook now?"
Ginny raised her head up and teased, "Do you want to be off the hook?"
"Not really."
Ginny laughed.
"Who knew," Harry wondered aloud as he gazed out the window, "that
the tiny, bright-eyed redhead who used to squeak at
me from behind closed doors—"
"I did not squeak!" Ginny said, outraged.
"You did squeak!" Harry jokingly accused. "You came downstairs, squeaked,
and ran back up."
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
Ginny nearly fell out of the chair with uncontrollable laughter.
"It wasn't a squeak! I was just surprised," she tried to explain.
Harry was laughing pretty hard as well. "You squeaked!" he almost shouted.
"Will you two keep quiet!" Ron apparently had come to investigate the
noise. If he was surprised to find Ginny wrapped in
Harry's arms, both of them hysterical with laughter, he didn't say
anything. "Hermione and I are trying to study," he hissed
through his teeth.
"I didn't squeak!" Ginny explained to him, still laughing, as if Ron
would come to her defense. Instead, he just gave them an
exasperated glare and returned to where he and Hermione were studying.
"You think he's finally clammed up about us?" Harry asked, lowering
his voice.
"Eh, who cares," Ginny said. "They're all bark and no bite anyway."
She bit her lip, "I'm the one you have to watch out for."
"I noticed," Harry said as he lowered his lips to hers again and proceeded
to kiss her senseless.
***************************
Ok, this turned out to be the best day in my life. I
agree. This was better than winning the World Cup, or the
House
Quidditch Cup…
Which you've already done once.
Or using Malfoy as a punching bag, or flying, or watching Dudley
trying to squeeze himself through a door, or…
I get the point. What's better, kissing Ginny senseless or
having her kiss you senseless?
I'm going to have to further experiment before I can answer that.
It should take about eighty or so years.
Definitely.
