Chapter 5 ~ Surprises
That night, Harry had a hard time falling to sleep. He kept on replaying in his mind what happened earlier with Ginny.
'I shouldn't have kissed her,' he thought to himself, 'I've ruined everything.'
Finally, at about 3:00 in the morning he fell to sleep. Unfortunately, only three hours later, he felt someone shaking him to wake him up.
"Wake up, Harry!"
"What the." he said as he rolled over to see who was waking him up, "What do you want, Ron?"
"I have to tell you about last night!"
"What about last night?" Harry asked nervously. 'Oh God! What if he found out about what happened between Ginny and me?' he thought to himself.
"I had the greatest time last night!!"
"Really?" Harry said relieved.
"Yeah! I had so much fun with Hermione. All we did was dance, eat, and talk. We even kissed at the end!" Ron exclaimed with his ears turning red when he mentioned kissing Hermione.
"So, are you two a couple?"
"Ummmmm. I'm not sure. Anyway, how did things with Cho go?"
"Oh my God! I completely forgot about her! I left her there all by herself. I got to got find her!" Harry said as he jumped out of bed and put his robes on.
"What do you mean that you left her there?"
"No time to explain, Ron. I'll see you later," he said to Ron and then left to apologize to Cho.
He found her in the Great Hall eating breakfast. Nervously, he walked over to her.
"Cho, can I talk to you for a second?" Harry asked.
"I guess," she replied not even looking at him.
Harry walked out of the Great Hall with Cho following him. Finally, he turned around to talk to her.
"Cho, I'm so sorry about leaving you like that. I saw that Draco did something to hurt Ginny and I had to make sure that she was ok. She looked really upset.
"I saw you kiss her, Harry. I followed you to see what happened and I saw the whole thing."
Harry didn't know what to say. He wound up hurting in one-night two people that he cared about. "I'm sorry! I didn't think that was going to happen."
"Don't worry about it, Harry. I understand and I'm not angry with you. I think that there's someone else that you really have to talk to instead of me," she said motioning to someone behind Harry.
Harry turned around and saw Ginny standing nervously behind him. "Thanks, Cho!" he said and then walked over to Ginny.
"I think we need to talk Ginny."
"Ok."
"Where should we go?"
"Outside."
They began to walk outside. Harry's palms were all sweaty.
'She's only using one word to answer me. This cannot be good."
Ginny stopped walking so Harry figured that was where she wanted to talk.
"Gin listen, I'm sorry about kissing you last night-"
"Harry-"
"No, Ginny, let me finish-"
"I should never have kissed you like that. I mean, I guess in a way I took advantage of you. You were really upset about Draco and-"
"HARRY!!"
"Yeah?"
Before Harry knew what was happening, Ginny pulled his face towards hers and kissed him. Harry wrapped his arms around her to pull her even closer. He didn't want the kiss to end. It felt so wonderful. After a few minutes, they both pulled away.
"Oh, Harry, I'm so sorry about running away from you last night. I was so confused and I didn't know what to do. I guess I shouldn't have run away."
"I thought you were angry with me."
"No, Harry. I could never be angry with you.
"You have no idea how much better this is making my day."
"So you forgive me?"
"There's nothing that needs to be forgiven, Gin. Let's just forget about it," Harry said taking Ginny's hand into his own.
"Ok."
They then both made their way back to the Great Hall, hand-in-hand.
A/N - Well, I hope you like this chapter. I thought it was really sweet. You may think that this is the end of the story, but it's not. Remember what I said in my summary, "The Path of love isn't always easy." Anyway, please review!
