Chapter 2: Good news

It had been three and half weeks since Harry arrived, and he was happy that he didn't feel that tingly feeling he got when Ginny was around. NOT!! Harry was sitting around in his room thinking. "For the past three and a half weeks, I was put through Hell! I had to ditch Ron every time he asked me if I had feelings for his sister because I seemed to be staring at her a lot. Then, I had to hide my very red face when Ginny and I would sit next to each other at the table during meals. But at least Ginny didn't notice my behavior because when I'm around her, I feel comfortable and don't blush too much. I can't explain my feelings for her. One day I want to ignore her, but the next I want to scoop her up in my arm! Aaaarrrgggghhhh!!!!!" thought a confused Harry once again. Then he had a brilliant idea! He would write to Sirius. He pulled out a piece of parchment and began writing:

Dear Sirius,
Hi! How have you been? Are all those trials getting on your nerves yet? At least it will all be worth it when you're free and we get to live together! I have something to tell you.....I have feelings for Ginny! I think I love her. I love to be with her. I don't know how it happened! When I came to the Burrow, I got this weird tingly feeling in my chest when I hugged her! Now I have very confused thoughts about her! One day I wanna hug her, but the next I wanna ignore her? Can you help me????? It's really getting to me. Please W/B/S!!!!! Bye and take care!
-Harry

When he finished the letter, he tied it to Hedwig and sent her off. He sat on his chair trying to sort out his very confused thoughts.

(*)(*)~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~(*)(*)

Ginny sat on the couch of the family room three and a half weeks after Harry had arrived. " Harry has been acting very strange lately.....I wonder if.....No! He'd never like me like that! Maybe he's just wishing that he was with Cho or something. But he has been blushing every time I'm with him.....I don't know what to think! One minute he's acting all flirty with me, then the next he tries to ignore me! I just don't get him! Maybe I'll go talk to Hermione." Thought a confused Ginny. As she made her way upstairs to Ron's room, she caught a glimpse of Harry writing a letter. "Probably to Sirius." She thought. She knocked on Ron's door and went in when Hermione told her to. She sat down and-

" Hermi, I have a major problem!" whined Ginny to her best friend.

" What is it? Wait I know. Is it Harry again?" said a concerned Hermione. Ginny nodded.

" I'm just so confused! One minute he flirts with me, the next he ignores me! What does that mean?"

" Well, that actually happened between me and Ron, but then he said that he liked me which made it easier for me to tell my feelings, too. Maybe you should tell him how you feel about him since it's obvious that he's oblivious to the fact."

" Yeah, maybe it's time for me to have courage and tell him my true feelings and accept whatever happens!"

" That's the spirit, girl!"

" Thanks, Hermi!" thanked Ginny and with that she left the room.

Right when Ginny left, Ron popped out of the closet and kissed Hermione. She and Ron continued to make out with such heat that they needed a fire extinguisher. When they came up for air, Hermione said, " Ron, I think we should help Ginny and Harry. They would make such a cute couple!"

" Yeah, I was just going to ask Harry if he had feelings for her, so, we'll continue this later." Said Ron winking at Hermione. He got up, gave Hermione a kiss, then proceeded to Ginny's room.

(*)(*)~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~(*)(*)

When Ron got to the room, he found Harry sending a letter off. Without asking who he was sending it to, Ron sat in the chair in front of him.

" What's up, Harry?" said Ron trying to sound casual.

" Nothing much, dude. What brings you here?"

" I wanted to ask you.....um.....doyoulikeGinny?" Ron said those last words very fast because he felt weird asking his best friend that question.

" Okay, Ron, you have to keep a secret and you have to promise me that you won't get mad."

Ron nodded, knowing the answer, but little did they know that two girls were listening to their conversation, one with brown hair, one with red

" I don't like your sister. I love her!" said Harry blushing.

" Really.....then I think you should tell her how you feel, stupid! Why didn't you tell me! Eh, nevermind. Just promise me that you'll tell her tonight because I think she likes you, too." Said Ron walking away. He ran into the girls, but they beckoned him to come over before he could say anything. They told him that they had heard their conversation, but Ginny walked up and hugged Ron and thanked him for being a great brother.

(*)(*)~~~~~~~~~~**********~~~~~~~~~~(*)(*)

Ginny ran into her room. She couldn't wait until tonight, so she went to the room. She found Harry sitting there.

" Hi......" said Ginny awkwardly.

" Hi, um, Ginny, I need to tell you something. You better sit down for this." Said Harry who couldn't wait until tonight either.

Ginny sat knowing what he was about to say.

" Uh, I don't want to freak you out or anything, but I love you. I have ever since the beginning of summer when I realized that you weren't Ron's little sister anymore, but my good friend whom I had feelings for. I-" Harry was cut off abruptly by Ginny kissing him passionately.

When they broke apart, Ginny said, " Harry Potter! You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that! I love you, too! But this wasn't how it went in my dream.....hehehehehe.....just kidding!" They continued to kiss, feeling safe in each other's arms. They sat on the couch in Ginny's room, and fell asleep in each other's arms. They decided that they would tell the rest of the family at dinner, but right now, they were busy being happy.
