Changing the Past and the Future
Chapter One: Losing Control
Ron Weasley stood leaning against his suitcase, as he slipped through the barrier onto platform 9 ¾ which was hidden from muggles' view. He spotted his best friend Harry Potter who was cornered by his "fan club", two annoying boys named Colin and Dennis Creevey. They practically worshipped the boy who had conquered Voldemort, the dark lord, three times in his life. Sadly Voldemort had returned to power the year before, reviving with a potion that had included a drop of Harry's blood. Harry had beat himself up many times for losing his friend Cedric Diggory, and for being forced to help the evil soulless creature rise again. That evil soulless creature had ruthlessly murdered his parents, and countless others, until he'd attempted to use the killing curse against Harry and it had rebounded upon him.
"Oi!!! Harry, over here!" yelled Ron loudly. Harry mouthed a thanks to him as he escaped from his worshippers.
"You saved my life you did Ron," Harry spotted Ron's younger sister Ginny as she appeared from thin air, beside them.
"Ginny, look at how much you've grown this summer. I barely recognized you!" Harry hugged her, and his heart beat rapidly. Why was he so excited to see Ginny suddenly?
Ginny blushed from his flattery. She was pleased that someone had noticed that she was no longer the 5' tall girl she had been the year before. "Yeah thanks Harry. I'm catching up to Ron."
"Well I doubt that. You'll never be as tall as him. Hardly anyone is." Ron flashed Harry a murderous glance.
"Are you hinting that I am the tallest fifth year boy at Hogwarts?" he demanded of his friend.
"Nope, I'm stating it as a fact." Harry grinned, and turned when he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Harry!"
"Hermione!" he enveloped her in a tight embrace.
"Harry get off, I can't breathe." Hermione groaned, and pushed his chest away from her.
" Ron!" she cried and pecked him on the cheek. A red tinge crept into his cheeks. " A bit of a sunburn there Ronny?" she joked.
"Hey that was not funny," Ron muttered.
"Relax buddy. We don't need you two to have a row before we're even on the train." Harry warned them.
Ginny laughed. "Ron and Hermione not arguing before they reach Hogwarts, impossible."
"I'd watch it if I were you Evelyn Virginia Weasley!" Ron's voice thundered.
"Hey you know I despise that name," she spat at Ron angrily.
"Well then, stop harassing me and I won't call you that, EVELYN!!!"
Ginny turned away in fury and stormed off. Harry followed her. He had never worried about Ginny that much when she was upset, but he felt more affectionate towards her now.
"Ginny, he didn't mean that," Harry called after her retreating figure. Admiring her shining auburn locks from behind.
When he caught up with her she was sobbing. Harry wrapped his arms around her waist. "Don't take it so hard Ginny."
She uneasily leaned her head against his chest. Harry played with a strand of her long red curls. "Don't be upset with Ron. He's just mad at Hermione."
"Like usual," she laughed softly.
Harry's arms tightened around her. "You're sweet," he murmured into Ginny's ear.
She turned to face him. Her large brown eyes looked into his, frightened at what she saw in them. Harry gazed at her upturned face, longing to caress each flawless feature. Then, even though he knew it was wrong, he tilted her chin up and bent his head down to hers. Then he kissed her softly. Ginny trembled but Harry couldn't take his lips off of her. He deepened the kiss, and slowly Ginny kissed him back. The invasion of her tongue in his mouth made his emotions soar. Suddenly Ginny pulled away.
"No Harry, we can't!" her eyes were filled with disappointment. Harry sighed as he removed his hands from her slender waist.
"Sorry Ginny. I lost it," his voice was husky. "I went too fast for you I'm sorry, I've just never felt like this before about anyone."
"It's okay," Ginny turned away from him, afraid to look into his eyes. "Let's go back to Ron and Mione. They must be wondering where we are."
"Yeah," as Harry walked he wondered how he could have let things get so out of hand. Poor Ginny, the fear in her eyes before he'd kissed her was haunting him. Harry's emotions had taken over his mind, and he had kissed her without thought. Harry had kissed girls before, but never had he felt so much passion and desire when he did. Ginny of course had not expected him to carry everything as far as he had when he'd held her in his arms. Harry felt terrible for scaring her. "Ginny, I'm truly sorry. I didn't want to frighten you. I don't know what came over me."
"Scare me? You didn't scare me." She lied.
Harry reached out and grabbed her wrist. "You can tell me the truth you know," he murmured.
Ginny pulled away in terror. "It's your eyes Harry. You get this look in them, and I am afraid of what you're going to do next."
Harry sighed. "I'm sorry Ginny, I wish I could control how I look at you. It's nearly impossible though."
Ginny giggled nervously. "I'm sorry I was so frightened. But no one ever kissed me before you. I honestly didn't know what to expect."
Harry reddened. "I feel like a pervert."
"Don't" Ginny's hand touched his cheek. "You aren't one. I am just an underdeveloped fourteen year old who doesn't know how to interact with men."
"Underdeveloped?" Harry raised his eyebrows. "Don't insult yourself Ginny. It's not even remotely true."
Ginny blushed. "Harry you are embarrassing me."
"Sorry," he took her hands in his. "I only meant to teach you to accept compliments."
Ginny looked at him and self consciously pulled her low v-necked shirt higher up.
Harry gazed at her and murmured. "Do you know how badly I want to kiss you right now?"
Ginny laughed. "Well you must restrain yourself because my older brother might see us, and I doubt he'd like to see your lips locked on mine."
Harry looked away and chuckled. "You little angel are more mature than I am. I myself didn't even think of what the consequences might be if I kissed you right now."
Ginny giggled. "Girls think more than boys." Harry began to tickle her. "Stop Harry, I was kidding."
He removed his hand from her stomach. "Well now I know where you are ticklish," he smiled slyly at her.
Ginny glowered at him. "You wouldn't dare tickle me again!"
"Oh wouldn't I?" and he reached his hand out in her direction wiggling his fingers.
"No!!! Harry!!! Don't!!!" and she slapped helplessly at his wrist.
"Relax, I'm not going to tickle you again." he draped his arm over her shoulder. "See."
Then they reached Hermione and Ron. Obviously they had forgotten about their ridiculous argument, for they were discussing their summers.
"Yeah. Percy is still upset about losing his boss. I don't know why. The man didn't even know his name." Hermione laughed.
"Weatherby, Weatherby. Percy is christened Weatherby at the ministry. That ought to have made the headlines." Hermione self consciously put her hair behind her ear.
Ron smiled at her, and touched her shining locks. "Did you get a hair cut or something?"
"Naw," Hermione laughed. "Straightener. It's a muggle product that I used on this mess. It'll wear off so don't look too excited Ron."
Harry chuckled, and his two friends acknowledged him and his companion.
"Sneaking up on us?" Hermione feigned anger.
"No," Ginny faltered.
"You two were gone for a long time. I forgot that you existed." Ron looked suspicious.
Ginny and Harry exchanged guilty looks.
"Oh I just went to comfort Ginny. She was very upset about what you said to her Ron." Then in his mind he was thinking. "Yeah, my means of comfort was kissing her intensely." Harry grimaced. How could he fall in love with his best friend's baby sister? It was just wrong. Harry sighed knowing in the back of his head that he couldn't control who made his heart sore.
