Chapter 4
' So come on, baby
Drive me crazy
Love me or hate me
Drive me crazy '
DECEMBER 31st :
" This will do, " said Ginny, surveying the broom closet in the Gryffindor dormitory.
" What will do, " Harry asked from outside the door.
Ginny didn't answer at first. Instead, she stood in the doorway and bandied her attention from the closet to Harry and back again. Finally, she nodded and yanked him in with her, quickly shutting the door.
" Ginny, what are you - " he began, but was cut off by her chanting.
" Lumos, " she exclaimed.
Suddenly, the closet was illuminated. She smiled satisfactorily and faced him.
" Ginny ? "
" This will work. "
" What are you talking about and why are we standing in a broom closet ? "
" It was actually Seamus' idea. "
Harry blinked, bewildered, " To yank me into a broom closet ? "
Ginny blushed, " No. Seamus had some ideas for games and pranks for the New Year's Eve party this evening. This was one of them. "
" I see. "
" He thought it would be rather funny to throw two unsuspecting people in here for a few minutes alone. It was my idea to have him choose randomly. "
Harry nodded in aproval. He agreed that it would be comical to see the looks on people's faces as they were tossed into the closet. Glancing around quickly, he noticed that it was small, but not uncomfortable. Then, he looked back at Ginny and watched her as she continued to survey their surroundings. With the exception of the Yule Ball, he'd never been so close to her before. She was just about the same height as Hermoine. Small, but agile and quick. It surprised him that he never before noticed how cute she was. He'd seen it, but it was always something he'd shunted to the back of his mind. A thought never truly explored.
Harry choked back a smile as he watched a red blush creep into Ginny's cheeks. He decided he liked watching her blush. It made her cuter.
" So, how does this fit into our plans for Hermoine and Ron ? "
She smiled nervously, " I'm glad you asked. "
He cottoned on, " So, that's the real reason you were in here. "
" Partially. I really was helping Seamus. Although, I was thinking that this would be the perfect opportunity to toss my bungling git of a brother and the girl of his dreams in here to talk. I don't think they've been alone since Christmas night. "
Harry stared at her in an amused admiration momentarily.
" What, " she asked, going pink again.
" I'm just amazed at your capacity for deviousness. One would never be able to tell on the surface. "
It was Ginny's turn to be amused, " Harry, I have six brothers, and I'm the youngest. One could not survive in the Weasley household without a touch of deviousness. Besides, need I remind you that two of those six are Fred and George ? "
Harry laughed quietly, then changed tactics. " How is Seamus planning on making people partners for the closet ? "
" He and Dean have written everyone's name on a slip of parchment and thrown it into a hat. They plan to have everyone choose a slip from the hat. Actually, that's for all of the festivities tonight that require a partner. "
" How can we be sure that Ron will get Hermoine's name and she'll get his ? "
" We were thinking along the lines of fixing it so that they do get each other's name. We just haven't figured out how yet. Neville and I, that is. "
" He's involved too ?"
" If Seamus and Dean are involved, Neville is never too far behind. So, I thought we could use their expertise. "
He smiled again, " My, you've been busy. And it is a good idea. "
She giggled slightly, using his words back to him, " I'm trying to interfere in a roundabout way. "
" Well, I have a solution for your dilema. I say we use magic. "
" So, you'll help ? "
" Of course. This is too good to pass up. "
" What kind of spell should we use ? "
" I'm thinking along the lines of an enchantment. We'll just have to figure out which one to use. Normally, I'd ask Hermoine, but we can't really do that this time. "
" No, not this time. "
Harry watched the gears in Ginny's head turn. It was almost as adorable as watching her blush. Her brow furrowed, and she got a small crinkle above her eyes. On impulse, Harry stepped closer to her.
" Well, we'll just have to head to the library for a little research. But first things first. "
" What ? "
" I assume this is what we're hoping to happen for Ron and Hermoine, " he answered simply. Before she could respond, he kissed her lightly, brushing her lips with his, then pulled away. Then he took her hand, " Shall we go then ? "
She could feel the heat in her skin pulsating from her body and just knew that she was blushing again. No one else could make her react in that fashion more so than Harry. She could never really explain it, for it was just there and apparent. Almost like the sky. One never question why there was a sky really, it was just there. An assumed thing. Something that had to exist in order for others to. But he'd kissed her ! She could still feel his lips on hers when they both heard Ron shouting.
" WHERE THE BLOODY HELL IS MY LETTER ? PIG ? PIG ! DID YOU DELIVER IT TO HERMOINE ? "
Harry and Ginny both heard Pigwideon hooting happily and could hear his boistrous fluttering. They shared a look and raced down the stairs to the common room to find Ron. As they spilled into the room, Ron looked over to them, ignoring Pig as he flew around his head.
" My life, as I know it is over. "
Harry and Ginny looked at each other, then back at Ron in shock. They were back to square one............
Stay tuned for Chapter 5......
