To Sleep, Perchance To Dream
Chapter 5- Ginny Confesses
Harry snuck down to the common room, completely covered in his invisibility cloak. He glanced down at his watch. It was five 'till twelve. She would be coming any minute. He listened intently, & soon heard muffled footsteps. Ginny stepped out of the staircase, looking nervous. Harry walked up to her.
Then, with a flourish, he pulled off the cloak. Immediately, Ginny gasped, "Harry! How did you do that!?" She whispered intently. In explanation, he simply put the cloak around her shoulders.
She looked down at her feet, marveling at what she saw. "Harry, where'd you get this?" She asked, looking at him suspiciously.
"Whot? you think I stole it? Naw... it was my dad's. Dumbledore gave it to me in 1st year. Well, come on, we better get going." he said, stepping under the cloak with her.
They squeezed through the portrait hole, ignoring the fat lady as she called, "Who's There!" ,& set off down the corridor. The walk through the castle was uneventful, and they arrived at the double oak doors leading to the grounds rather sooner than they'd expected.
So far, they hadn't been able to talk, too afraid of attracting the attention of Filch or Mrs. Norris. (A/N- hahahaha! I have a friend whose cat is like a demon cat & she looks old, gray, & mean so I started calling her Mrs. Norris. It's really funny. isn't it?.......okkkk......maybe you had to be there? anyway I thought it was funny and that's all that counts. Back to the future!!!... umm..... I mean Back to the story! )
As they started toward the lake, however, Harry started to ask Ginny about her conversation with Ron, "Gin, what did Ron say to you? How did he get you so upset?"
"Well, um.... hekindasaidyouwereusingme." She said very quickly, hoping he hadn't heard. (A/N- for people like me who don't bother to try to read those sentences Ginny said "he kinda said you were using me." O.K. )
Apparently, he had, "He WHAT!!!" Harry shouted "Oh, you just wait until I see him! I'll.....I'll...."
Ginny kicked him under the cloak. "You'll shut up!..... You know we're not supposed to be out here; someone could've heard you!!" she hissed at him.
He smiled mischievously down at her. "No, they couldn't. I put a silencing charm on the cloak. No one can hear us as long as we're under it."
Ginny punched him playfully on the arm. ( A/N- abuse! there is no better way of flirting. I speak from experience. although, I normally prefer verbal abuse to physical..... with the exception of coughZACHcough & coughDYLANcough but you know... some guys are just so adorable they get on your nerves. anyway.......back to Ginny punching Harry on the arm. now that is the way to win a guy's heart, right Gin? ..........(*Wakes Up*) oopps! sorry about that... I was having a dream ahem... more like a fantasy.... shut up! oooppps! sorry again. just ignore the little conversations I have with myself. OK. OK. I'll get back to the story... but first, I'm gonna find my physcatrist's phone number.. J/K. )
Once again----
Ginny punched him playfully on the arm. " Why didn't you tell me that? I've been under here whispering like an idiot and no one can hear us?"
"That's the general idea." said Harry grinning more widely.
They walked in silence for a few more moments & then Ginny decided to voice the question that had been bothering her since breakfast.
"Harry, what are we doing tonight?"
"I am getting revenge, and then we are going to talk." he said with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Ginny had seen that glint in her twin brothers' eyes too often not to be cautious, "And who exactly are you getting revenge on?" She asked him.
"Sirius Black, you know, my godfather." He answered.
Ginny looked shocked, "What did he do?"
"Well, do you remember last Christmas break, when the leprechaun followed me around, screaming out my thoughts?" He said, blushing at the memory.
Ginny thought hard. That had been quite interesting, especially when the leprechaun had started shouting how beautiful a certain red-head was and exactly what Harry would like to do..... well, let's just say that by now, Ginny could feel her cheeks burning, too. "yes, I remember." She managed to croak.
Well, that was the work of dear 'ole Sirius and now its payback time!"
"Great! I always love a good prank. What do you have in mind?" Ginny said excitedly.

Sirius looked at Harry in shock. "Harry! What are you doing sneaking off to god knows where with a girl!? At MIDNIGHT!? I shudder to think what could've happened if Snape or another professor had found you two in a .....er......compromising situation."
