Fire and Lightning- Part 4
Fire and Lightning- Part 4

Disclaimer- I own nothing you recognize. The very kind and talented JK Rowling owns all of that and I'm just dabbling with her very awesome characters for my own (and hopefully your) amusement!

A/N- Thank you to everybody who read and/or reviewed this story so far! And a very big thank you to Pinky and the Brain for giving me a push to hurry up and write this part! I'm so very sorry about the long wait for this part. Poor Gin and Harry were stuck like that for months before I could get it to come out right. So, enough rambling, on with the show!

Ginny and Harry stood on the beach. The waves crashed onto the sand behind them and the sun was just sinking beneath the horizon, turning the sky into a myriad of pretty colors, yet the two teens were too preoccupied to notice. They stood quite still with their faces mere inches apart, Harry's hand on Ginny's face, gently brushing against her cheek. They had been that way for a few seconds but to them it seemed like ages. Both were quite surprised at this sudden turn of events, but neither wanted to turn away.

"What am I doing?" Harry thought to himself, "This is Ginny…Ron wouldn't…but she's so pretty…ah, to hell with Ron!" Having given in to himself, Harry leaned in toward Ginny, "I'm gonna kiss her! I'll deal with Ron later."

"He's gonna kiss me!" Ginny thought excitedly as she saw Harry lean toward her. Just as there lips were about to meet, Sirius' voice called out from the house, startling them both. They sprang apart. Ginny's face was as red as her hair and Harry couldn't help but find the sand on the ground really interesting right about now.

"I guess we'd better be getting back. It's getting late." Harry said to break the silence, finally noticing the setting sun.

"Yea, probably. The view's really pretty out here though," Ginny responded, looking out over the ocean.

"It sure is!" Harry agreed, as he stared at the girl next to him out of the corner of his eye. "Gorgeous!" he added muttering, "How come I never noticed before?"

"Let's go," Ginny said, startling him out of his thoughts. She clasped his hand in hers and hand in hand the two walked back to the beach house.

Later that night, Ginny and Hermione were sitting on the bed in Ginny's room. The two had gotten to know each other rather well since the Wizard's Cup the previous summer.

"So what's up with you and my brother?" Ginny asked innocently as she brushed out her red hair. Hermione's face turned a very vivid shade of pink at the question.

"How did you…?" she asked, the braid she was working on in her own hair fell loose from her hand as she spoke nervously. Ginny smiled knowingly.

"He feels the same way about you, ya know," Ginny stated seriously.

"What!?" Hermione exclaimed, "How can you tell?"

"Let's just say sisters can tell these kind of things." Ginny replied with a grin, "Not to mention he talks in his sleep!" She ducked as the pillow Hermione threw at her flew over her head.

The girls were quiet for a moment, both thinking, when Hermione asked suddenly as a thought popped in her head, " What were you and Harry up to after Ron and I went inside?" Now it was Ginny's turn to blush.

"Nothing…"

"Yea, sure…" Hermione took a look at Ginny's face and added slyly, "Is Harry a good kisser?"

" I wouldn't know, I was just about to find out when Sirius cal…!" She stopped abruptly when she realized what she had admitted to. Hermione just smiled and started to walk out of the room. "Sweet dreams, Gin," she said turning the corner. Once out, she paused and stuck her out back in. Ginny was climbing into bed, and reaching to turn out the light. "Try to keep them PG!" Hermione joked. Ginny looked up and grinned once more adding, "How about PG-13?"
