Chapter Five – I Love You
~~~~~~~~
Harry suddenly found himself in the white void again, and was surprised to find himself still holding Ginny. "Angel?" he called uncertainly.
"I am here, Harry." Said the angel, and this time, a figure appeared before him.
It was Tara! He should have known all along! She was now outlined in a white light, and soft, bright white angel wings sprouted from her back.
"Yes. I have been here for you all along Harry." Tara the Angel said, smiling. "God knows everything, and He has told me of a secret feeling buried deep within you." She giggled. "You have something to confess, but you do not know of the feeling you hide, Harry Potter." She glanced at Ginny...
And then Harry knew. She was trying to give him a hint…but what about Ginny...? And then it struck him how pretty Ginny looked just then. It was like a revelation had come over him. Why did he hang on to Cho when he holds a girl with more feeling for him than Cho will ever have? He turned to look at Ginny, and she looked up into his brilliant eyes, her own filled with hidden feelings just waiting to be expressed.
"Ginny..." he said quietly.
"Yes...?" whispered Ginny, her arms tightening slightly around his waist.
"I..." he began softly. One of his hands came up, and laid itself delicately on her cheek. "Ginny Weasley...I love you...I love you with all of my heart..."
Ginny's lower lip trembled slightly, but she smiled lovingly all the same. "And...I...I love you too, Harry Potter..."
Harry couldn't take just standing there. He knew what he wanted to do...and knew it was the right thing. "Close your eyes, Ginny..." he whispered. She did so. Harry's fingers lifted her chin a little, he leaned in...and his lips touched hers in a pure, gentle first kiss. He felt as though all his fears were swept away in this tender embrace. He knew he loved Ginny...His heart felt lighter than it had in months. Ginny started to pull away, but Harry kissed her more passionately, never wanting to leave the peacefulness of her arms around him, her lips softly caressing his in tender emotion...
Finally, the two fell apart, and smiled at each other. They both looked to the angel, who was positively beaming at them. "You two are destined to be with one another, as I have just witnessed. The feelings radiating from you were so strong it surprised me. You're life forces encircled each other for eternity." A tear fell down her cheek. "I regret that my job is done. You now have an angel on Earth, Harry...and you hold her in your arms. You no longer have need of me." She plucked a feather from one of her wings, and gave it to Ginny. "May you two forever live in peace..." she whispered, and disappeared.
Harry and Ginny were back at school. They were sitting on Harry's four-poster, the angel feather still held in Ginny's hand. They looked at each other, smiled, and went back downstairs...to face the rest of the year.
