Chapter 3- Ham Sandwiches
I walked downstairs, with everyone else in front of me. When the other girls started to play truth or dare again, I decided not to. Why had he turned his head? Was he expecting me to kiss his cheek? These were the last thoughts in my head before I fell asleep.

WHAM! Something knocked into me. My eyes flew open and I turned over to see Lizzy's elbow hitting in between my ribs. I groaned. This was not the birthday night I was expecting.
I saw a light come on in the hall. Who would be up at this time of night? I thought. I got up and headed into the kitchen to get some water.
When I walked in, The fridge light was on. I lit the candles because, being wizards, we don't have electricity. As I walked to the cabinet to get a glass, I saw who was behind the refrigerator door.
It was Harry. (Okay, I guess you saw that coming. But who am I to mess with Fate?)
I walked over to the sink and filled up my glass, and went to get some ice from the freezer. I had to reach above Harry (who was getting some ham for a sandwich) to get it.
"What are you doing up, Ginny?" He asked me.
"Getting some water. What are you doing?"
"Making a sandwich. Ron woke me up snoring." I smiled.
"I know what you mean. Once we went to visit my aunt Cilia and I had to share a room with him. I couldn't go to sleep because he was snoring so loud." I told him, and he laughed.
"Can I ask you something, Gin?" Harry asked.
"You just did, but go ahead. One more can't hurt."
"Why did you come up to Ron's room? You weren't really going to tell me something, were you." I bit my lip.
"No. I wasn't. I was dared to kiss you. I was going to just kiss your cheek, that's all. But then…" I trailed off. He blushed, and so did I.
"Look, Gin," He said awkwardly. "I don't know what made me turn my head. I mean, you wouldn't want to kiss me."
"Harry," I touched his arm lightly. "It's okay. I know you don't want to kiss me either." He looked at me sincerely, and put his hand on mine. His other hand went to my cheek. "I never said that, Gin." And he kissed me again. It felt like a shock of electricity went through my whole body. I kissed him back eagerly. Our lips parted and our tongues touched, doing a little dance in each other's mouths. When our kiss broke, Harry said, "You know, your brothers are going to kill me if they find out about this." I smiled mischievously.
"Well, than I guess they won't find out, will they?" He smiled and kissed me again. "So we are going to have two weeks of night rendezvous?" Harry asked. I nodded.
So with that, Harry and I made out in the kitchen for the next half-hour. When I finally looked at the muggle clock dad keeps on the mantle, it said that it was 4:30 A.M.
"We'd better get to bed, Harry." Harry looked over at the clock and then back at me.
"Why? No one's going to get up for the next three hours! And even that's early."
"You've obviously never lived in the same house as Percy." I grinned and kissed him. He held me close to him.
"Can we stop time to stay like this forever?" He asked sadly. I held him closer to me.
"I know what you mean, Harry, but think about it. No food, drinks, you couldn't go to the bathroom, and you'd never go back to Hogwarts! Goodnight, Harry."
"You mean good morning."
"Same thing. Good night." I yawned and went back to my sleeping bag. Harry followed me and went upstairs to his own bed.
