SWEET SIXTEEN
- Part 8 : Back at Hogswart -
At the end of August, every student of Hogswart at the Burrow began to feel the air of school. Hermione and Ron have spent the last days at looking for a flat or a house. But they could only afford a little flat in Hogsmeade. Albus Dumbledore has be informed by the idea of two of his last year students. He has been surprised but not so much. After all, Hermione and Ron weren't the first to have this idea.
At the Burrow, Ginny and Harry felt let apart, but actually, they didn't really care. They could stay all day long together without being seen by anybody of the house. It was for them their little exemple of the future life of Hermione and Ron. Ginny has told Harry she was kind of envious of his brother. But if Harry loved Ginny as he has ever loved, he didn't feel envious at all. For him, these two were still too young to begin a serious relationship.
One afternoon, Ginny and Harry were sitting in the garden. His back against a tree, Harry has his arms around Ginny and she was playing with his hands.
" Does Hogswart miss you ? " She asked.
" Mhm, not really… You ? "
Ginny turned her head and kissed Harry.
" You're gonna miss me. "
Harry looked at her in her eyes.
" I'll be still at Hogswart this year. "
Ginny knew that, but she tried to explain she didn't mean that.
" No, I mean… It's your last year, you've got your last tests and then you'll practice Quiddich every evenings. "
Harry smiled " Oooh… So you think I'll forget you… just like that ! " He snapped his fingers.
She took his hand " No, I don't think you'll forget me, I'm unforgettable… "
" Mhm, and modest… " He kissed her hair and then kept playing with it.
" There will be the week end in Hogsmeade… But everybody is going there… "
Harry opened his eyes…
" Oh ! Now, I see what you mean… You think we're going to miss some privacy… "
She scrached her forehead. " Exactly. "
Harry thought a moment. How couldn't he have thought about that… Of course, there's gonna be a problem. He couldn't resist to see Ginny for… Well, for being with her…
She lowered her voice : " How are we going to do ? "
Harry rested his head on the trunk of the tree… " I've really no idea. "
Ginny felt his arms tightened themselves against her.
And soon, every thing went fast. Hermione, Ginny, Ron and Harry found each other in the train for Hogswart. For the last year, they were together in the Hogswart Express. Of course, Ginny was sad, but Harry was acting more in love than ever. Every time she moved, he tightened her hand, afraid to lose her.
" Where you going ? " He asked when she tried to take her hand back.
Ginny looked at him and shoke her head. " To the toilet ! ! ! I can't ? "
Harry sank into his seat and crossed his arms " Pff, of course you can. "
But nothing really began before the ceremony of the sorting hat. Ginny has sat with her friends of her year and was talking with one of them. Every thing could have been great if only that friend wasn't one the most popular boy of Hogswart.
Ginny couldn't see Harry, but Hermione could hear him. Harry was furious against that boy.
" What does this jerk think ? Doesn't he know that Ginny is my girlfriend ? "
Afer a few remarks, Hermione turned to him : " Harry ! ! ! She's only talking and so is he! "
" No, he's not. Look at him, he is totally absorbed by her eyes… I know she's got great eyes, but he could stop look at them ! "
" Harry ! ! " Hermione stopped him once again. " You're jealous ! "
Harry tried to be relaxed by looking somewhere else. " No, I'm not. "
" Oh, yes you are… You are very, very, very jeal… "
Harry stood up suddenly and shouted " No, I'm not ! Quit that Hermione ! " And he left the table for his tower.
Ginny who, as everybody else did, has heard Harry shouting, got up and left right away for the tower. She looked for Harry for a while and finally found him in his dormitory.
" What the hell happened you ? " She shouted to him.
Harry pulled a wry face: " I should ask you this question ? "
Ginny opened wide her eyes, she had no idea what he was talking about.
" Why did you let William looking at you this way ? "
Ginny didn't know how to react… Harry has never talked to her so hard. How could he be so furious against her for a thing she cannot avoid. Finally, as clearly as Hermione has guessed, she said : " You're jealous. "
Harry made a grimace again. " No, I'm not. "
She approched him in such a funny way, he smiled " Yes, you are. " She smiled too.
She kissed him " Yes, you are… "
He grabbed her in his arms, making her falling on his bed. Stucked between his bed and Harry, Ginny could move a finger. He lowered his head and whispered : " Well, supposed I'm very very jealous… Do you still love me ? " And he kissed her.
Her five senses were upside down. She really thougth he has a gift to make her feel so comfortable. " Of course, I love you… I love you Harry. " And she continued the kiss.
An hour later, the two of them went down in the Great Hall and sat together smiling in front of Hermione and Ron. Hermione leaned down to them and whispered : " I know these smiles ! You're impossible ! Both of two ! ! "
Harry and Ginny burst into a laugh but soon had to keep quiet. Dumbledore had a speech to do.
Ginny soon forgot that little scene of jealousy. Harry has returned to his pratice of Quiddich and the little time he spent with Ginny, he simply was adorable. A lot of girls envied Ginny. Her boyfriend was the famous Harry Potter, he was a great player of Quiddich and to make his popularity even greater, he was just as cute as he was strong.
Ginny knew if she went at his practice of Quiddich, he wouldn't be very focused on the game. But an evening where she didn't know what to do, she went on the Quiddich field. And how Ginny was surprised… She wondered how many girls were just there watching the practice… or the players… She looked at the players and saw her boyfriend high in the sky. He was just making a looping at that moment, and when he finished it, he primed a splendid descent on the crowd. At the last moment, he turned and made a sign to the crowd, who was entirely feminine. Most of the girls giggled. And Harry saw Ginny he almost dropped his broom a second. But he grabbed it strongly and flew higher. Harry knew Ginny's face wasn't the one of good days. She wasn't used to come to the practice, and it was true that Harry liked to play with the crowd, in practice or not. He thought maybe he has exagerated with his looping and then his great descent.
Ginny left the field furious. She couldn't believe he played Quiddich and at the same time, making sign at all the girls.
She talked to herself " I won't be jealous, I won't be jealous. "
" Ginny ! "
She turned to see William running to her.
" No… Not him… " She whispered.
He stopped in front of her. " Hi Ginny ! "
She tried to be enthusiastic " Hi Will ! "
Maybe she has succeeded because William smiled.
" I see you on the field… Hum, you were there to see.. to see Harry. "
She felt a lack of envy of talking with him, but she smiled anyway. " Yes. "
" He's a great player. "
She nodded her head " Yes, he is. "
" And, hum, well… "
Ginny wondered what he was going to say. It has been a month since the scene of jealousy of Harry, she didn't want him to have another one.
" As he's the captain of the team… "
" Mhm… "
" I wanted you to talk to him about me… "
Ginny laughed, she has thought he was going her if she still loved Harry and if she wanted to go out with him.
" A girl thinks too much " She said.
" What ? "
" Hum, nothing… Her, you know, Will, I don't think it's a good idea. "
" To play Quiddich ? "
" Ooh, no, that's your choice, but you have to ask someone else, ask Harry directly. "
" I thought if it was you, he was going to say yes. "
" Hum, no. You know, when we talked together at the ceremony, he got really mad, so… "
" I see, he thought I was picking you up. "
Ginny laughed " Mhm, yes ! "
" I was. "
Will was dead serious and Ginny stopped laughing.
" You were picking me up ? "
Will answered : " It was the first time my charm didn't work. "
He persed his lip and Ginny smiled " I'm sorry. "
She kissed him on his cheek, but as soon as she has done that, she regretted it. She has just heard a voice she knew very well.
" I knew it ! "
Ginny turned to Harry : " Come on Harry ! Stop that !"
Ignoring totally William, Harry continued " What ? 'I' Stop that ? That was you, you were kissing somebody else. "
" Harry, I'm not going to play that game. "
" I'm not going to play either. "
Harry left the corridor. Ginny felt tears in her eyes.
/**** Ok, do i need to apologize for the wait ? ? Of course, I have to. I'm very very sorry. Hope you've been all satisfied. I've written a first part 8, but I wasn't satisfied, so I've written that new part this morning. And I'm happy about that one, because I've often thought that that part will be the last of Sweet Sixteen… And it's not, there will be a part 9. Plus, i love that idea, that Ginny and Harry will have to fight to get together again. Don't you think so ? *** */
