Harry walked into Ginnys room, realising that it was the first time that he had ever seen it.


Ginny sat on the bed, looking up at Harry, she blushed slightly as she saw him gaze at her night wear. She was wearing rather skimpy pyjama short set, feeling self conscious she pulled her dressing gown off of her mattress and wrapped it around her.


"So...er... what you been up to this summer?" asked Harry awkwardly, it wasnt that he didn't usually talk to Ginny, it was that he was in her room... she was beautiful and she was wearing next to nothing.


'keep you mind clear harry' he told himself silently.


"Nothing much really. Homework - some drawings, mostly i've just been dodging Fred and Georges new inventions, there has been an increase in canary creams and other food substiutes being swapped around in the kitchen. A word of warning to you - stay a way from any chocolate biscuits you may turn into a chimp for a couple of minutes - happened to me this yesterday morning"


Harry chuckled along with her, all he had to remember was to keep his mind off of her looks and he would be fine. How could this be happening to him? How could he be attracted to Ginny? - the little girl who had followed him around in her first year? He couldn't allow himself to have this lead to anything, she had six brothers. SIX! If he didnt control his thoughts - then he would be heading for a bruising.


They chatted for another half an hour until Hermione walked into the bedroom looking at Harry sheepishly, her cheeks tinged pink. " Erm - you can go up to Rons room now Harry" she told him quietly.

"Thanks Herm - have some nice quality time together eh?" he grinned as Hermione turned a deep shade of red, Ginny snorted with laughter.

"Night, Gin" Harry said quickly - noticing that Hermione seemed to be getting angry.

"Night Harry"

As Harry walked up the stairs he heared Hermione ask Ginny - "How come Harry was in your room? You seemed to be getting on very well, maybe a little too well" she was getting revenge for the embarassement that she had just faced but Harry still turned red, hoping that he wasn't so transeparent.

The ride to Kings cross station was uneventful. For the past few weeks, Harry had carried on as if everything was perfectly normal at the Burrow and he was actually beginning to believe that he wasn't attracted to her.


"You two go first" Mrs Weasley instructed Ginny and Harry as they stood in front of platform 9 and 3/4.
They were soon joined by Mr and Mrs Weasley, Ron and Hermione.

"Dont forget to write" She instructed them, "Be careful, Dont get yourself into any trouble or.." she turned to Harry - "any unnecessary danger".

They all got a hug and a kiss, then piled onto an empty carriage near the end of the train.

"Want a chocolate frog, Harry?" asked Ginny from the seat next to him. They were half way through the journey and were in a companiable silence.
Both Ginny and Harry were reading, whilst Ron and Hermione were entertaining themselves...with eachother.
"Sure - thanks Gin" they grinned at eachother - Harry began to feel the tell tale signs of butterflies in his stomach, Damn! Everything had been going so well. He looked down at his book quickly before his face turned a bright shade of red.
As the journey carried on - Ginny began to feel herself being lolled to sleep by the movement of the Hogwarts Express. As sleep engulfed her, dreams of a green eyed someone - sprang to her senses, leaving a contented smile on her face.
Harry looked down at the girl who had been constantly in his thoughts for the last few weeks. Ginnys head was resting on his shoulder, she let out a contented sigh. 'I wonder what shes dreaming about?' he thought to himself - whatever it was it had to be good.


A noise outside of the compartment shook him out of his day dreams. Draco Malfoy walked into the compartment flanked by his goons Crabbe and Goyle. It amazed him that almost every year on the journey to Hogwarts, that they didnt fail to turn up.
"What you want Malfoy?" Harry asked aggressively

"oh - just thought I would come and see how you were after the holidays, " he said sarcastically "noticed that you've got a new girlfriend there...Weasley trash" he added gesturing towards Ginny. "What did she do... flick her eyelashesand promise to do a striptess for a little bit of cash?"Harrys face grew hot with anger - he jumped up - careful not to unsettle Ginny, and was just about to punch Malfoy in the face when he felt Ginnys hand on his shoulder - holding him back firmly. Aparently she had been awoken by the slytherins entrance - she wasn't the only one, Harry turned to see Hermione trying to hold Ron back."Get lost Malfoy" said Ginny - her anger apparent all over her face, a look that made Malfoy blink in hesitation - "Wh - what - are y-you going to do about it?"Both Ron and Harry surged forward - leaving Hermione and Ginny glaring at the slytherins - the four of them would be a match for them and Malfoy knew it, backing out of the doorway he turned to Harry and said - "This year is going to be very eventful Potter - mark my words, watch your step ".

"Sorry about that Gin" Harry said turning to her, " He's an idiot"
"Its ok Harry, its not your fault - I ignore him now, I just wish that he hadnt got you so angry"
Harry blushed slightly knowing the reason that he hadnt got so mad - Ginny was a sore point with him these days, and he knew that he had to hide his feelings for her or she would be open to more insults from Malfoy - Harry didnt think that he could cope with anything hurting her.
