Chapter 3 Taking It Thurther

But Hermione returned to the common room to find chaos. Everyone was talking excitedly together like something important had just happened. Hermione pushed passed the crowed that had formed around someone. She stopped dead when she'd managed to get passed an excited Neville, and saw Harry holding a bleeding nose and Ron looking back at him in disgust. Oh no, not these two again. What are they fighting about this time? Thought Hermione as she surveyed the scene. Ron came up to her and said; "Guess what? He's been stalking my sister, God knows maybe even worse!"

But Harry quickly responded; "I have not been stalking her and all I asked was could I ask her out what's wrong with that?" A few people gasped at what Harry had just said and Hermione saw Ginny smiling, sitting by the fire doing some work. "Ron stop getting so worked up over nothing and come and talk to me. Harry, I'll talk to you later." The crowd parted to let Hermione and Ron sit down on some chairs. "Err...Private conversation here people, get on with your own business!" said Hermione in a non- Hermione way. Everyone got back to what they were doing still gossiping about the earlier events. "Look Ron, Harry really likes Ginny and he's not gonna hurt her, Hermione said, bravely.

"Well, I guess I did overreact a little. But I don't want her to get hurt."

"Look this is Harry were talking about, you think he's really gonna hurt her?"

"I guess not, I think I'd better apologize and make friends."

"So do I, go on then else he won't forgive you."

Ron went bravely over to where Harry was sitting with Seamus and Dean and instead of being greeted he just got ignored. He'd have to say something sometime.

"Err Harry I'm really sorry. Look can we make friends. I shouldn't of overreacted like that!"

Harry smiled and stood up "I'm sorry too, I guess we've both been jerks but I wasn't exactly expecting a punch!"

"Thanks, an about Ginny," he whispered, "I guess it doesn't really matter if you ask her out."

"Thanks Ron. I might go do that now. I'm feeling confident."

"Good luck man, see you," Ron said as he joined Seamus and Dean. Harry looked round. There was Ginny still doing her homework by the fire. Oh **** she heard me saying I wanted to ask her out, thought Harry, oh well at least I won't surprise her then!

He walked up to her and with extreme nervousness saw the girl of his dreams. Her red hair shining in the firelight was enough to make him tremble (a/n too tacky?). "Ginny, well I guess you heard me earlier and well I really, really like you and I wondered if well, you."

".oh come here Harry. Of course I will." And with that she stood up, grabbed him round the waist and pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss.

I don't think either of them realize everyone in the common room was still watching!

A/n thank God for spell check! Was that a cliffhanger? I'm not sure if it was or not. Well I'm sorry it's short but I'm sorry squin, I can't stuff my homework!
