HARRY POTTER AND THE GIRL DILEMMA
Chapter #3
Just Kiss Me
Do I? Don't I? Ginny Weasley deliberated whether to run a finger down Harry's
back. She reached for him and slid her finger lightly down his back,
then sat down carefully on the couch, wishing she could block out the sound of
Harry's sobs.
She wanted to take him in her arms and kiss him and say that everything was
going to be all right and that he should stop crying. And then he'd kiss her and...
"What's the matter, Harry?" whispered a sweet voice. Harry turned to
see Ginny Weasley. Her face was open and she seemed ready to help him
with his problems. She looked so kind and innocent, Harry wanted to kiss her.
"Nothing is the matter. Nothing is the matter with the Boy Who Lived!"
he found himself yelling.
But instead of being scared off, Ginny leaned over and touched
his hand. Harry found himself getting up, but Ginny took his hand and
made him sit down. But before he could get settled she pushed him back
so that he was leaning against the armrest, held him in her arms, and moved
so that she was almost on top of him, then she kissed him gently on the lips,
and Ginny was hoping against hope that he would kiss her back. Which he did.
"Ginny, did you just kiss me?" he asked.
"Yeah. And- well, you kissed me back."
"Why?"
"Because it seems to help. I read somewhere that kissing people is therapeutic."
Harry tried to fold Ginny into his arms for another kiss. But Ginny sensed her duty
was done and got up to leave.
"No, Ginny. Wait," Harry said, sitting up and holding out his hand. Ginny
took it and sat down, then let it go.
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so
I only know I never want to let you go
Cause you started something, can't you see?
And ever since we met you've had a hold on me.
No matter what you do
I only want to be with you.
Harry wanted to pour out his soul to someone, someone who cared.
"I do care, you know," she reassured him, "D'you think I'm going to go
to the Daily Prophet with the stories of your life?"
Harry couldn't help but give Ginny a half-grin.
"Do you want to know? Then let me start..."
He put his arm around Ginny, bringing her closer in so she could
listen. He thought he felt something ripple through her.
He hugged Ginny to his chest and smoothed her red hair back. It wouldn't be out
of the question to rain little kisses over her face, would it? No, it wouldn't.
He leaned down to kiss Ginny over and over...
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again.
I wanna kiss you all over
'Til the night closes in.
What am I doing? he asked himself. You're practically falling head over heels for
this girl! What on earth is going on?
I'm going crazy, he thought. I'm wishing that she were Hermione and that it's her
in my arms- not Ginny! Oh God, don't tell me that I want to kiss her again. And
again. And again.
"When...ever you want to... make me happy, just kiss me,' Harry murmured.
Don't stop wasting your emotions
Lay all your love on me...
"Harry, don't lead me on!" cried Ginny. "Stop kissing me! I'm not Hermione. I'm
Ginny... Oh God, Harry, come on! Why are you kissing me over and over?
I can't believe that you're in love with me! Tell me the truth. Do you love me or
are you just kissing me because you're not with- her?"
"Under attack, I'm being taken,
About to crack, defences breaking.
Won't somebody see and save a heart?
Come and rescue me now 'cause I'm falling apart!
Under attack, I'm taking cover,
He saw my track, my chasing lover.
Thinking nothing's gonna stop him now,
Should I want to? I'm not sure, I won't know how," Ginny sang. She had a beautiful
voice, Harry realised. He really was under attack.
And then Ginny chose a different song:
"Love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me,
I love you.
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
Oh, I've been dreaming through my lonely past,
Now I just made it, I found you at last.
So come on, now let's try it,
I love you, can't deny it.
'Cause it's true,
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
Oh, no hard feelings between you and me,
If we can't make it, but just wait and see.
So come on, now let's try it,
I love you, can't deny it.
'Cause it's true,
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
So love me or leave me, make your choice but believe me,
I love you.
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.
I can't conceal it, don't you see, can't you feel it?
Don't you too?
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do."
"I must say, Ginny, you're a good singer," Harry said.
"Yeah- but do you actually get the point that shines through into the song?"
Do you love her? Harry asked himself. He looked into her eyes and saw
her emotions, written in them like a script: Respect. Pain. Fear.
Anticipation. A desperate longing.
And pure, sweet, unconditional love. Meant for him.
And only for him.
Looking at Ginny, he sat up. He leaned forward. There was no way he was going
to kiss her quickly. No way. "Better do this properly," he whispered.
Harry held her and lightly put his lips to hers. He held her tight and kept
kissing her. And kissing her. She slowly slipped her tongue into his mouth and
Harry didn't hesitate before he slipped his into her mouth.
"Oh, Ginny, oh, Ginny," Harry murmured.
Gently Ginny withdrew her tongue from Harry's mouth and he removed his
and they broke from the kiss.
"Wow," Ginny said, "Could you tell that that was my first proper kiss?"
"No."
"The best thing was that I saved it for you. You taught me something,
Harry."
"What did I teach you?"
"You taught me that dreams do come true."
Without knowing that he was doing it, Harry started to sing:
"Never knew I could feel like this,
Like I've never seen the sky before.
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more.
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time.
Come what may, come what may
I will love you, until my dying day."
And then Ginny remembered that she had heard the song on the radio that
her dad had fixed up for her. And she continued:
"Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste,
But our world revolves around you.
And there's no mountain too high,
No river too wide,
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side.
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide,
But I love you until the end of time."
And then Ginny remembered another song she had heard.
"Just hold me now, just hold me now, stay this way forever.
Say the day will never come."
Harry didn't feel like Ginny's divine protector any more. He felt like-
her boyfriend.
Ginny and Harry. Harry and Ginny. Those names together sounded… damn fine!
A/N: Okay, we've got H/G and H/D cleared up, now it's just R/?
Hmm. Let's leave Ron single for now.
