But if you'll give me your actual email address, then I'll send you help. Ok, so, here's the chapter.. Thanks for all the reviews!!! Hey!! You guys hafta read Katafae's fic!!! IT"S SO GOOD!!! Lol. Well, here's the chapter:
"So, Gin?" Harry asked, exiting the painting.
"Yeah?" she asked, brushing a loose piece of hair behind her ear.
Harry took a step towards her and grabbed her arm making her stop to look at him.
Ginny gulped. "Can we do this when we get outside?" she asked quietly. Harry nodded and they walked in silence. Harry held her arm for part of the way, and then realized he was STILL holding it and decided that it would be best if he put it down before she questioned it.
They reached the doors and walked outside, shocked at the warmth in the air. The sun hadn't set but you could see the first star. Well, planet. It was Venus, after all. The evening star.
"So, Ginny. Can I ask you something?" he asked her, stopping and looking into her delicately made-up face.
"Shoot," she replied, nervously gnawing on her lower lip.
"Don't do that. You'll ruin your teeth," he scolded and made her smile. "Ok." Harry took a deep breath. "Why were you crying today?"
"Oh. Do you want a lie, or the truth?" She asked, looking at him.
"The truth of course," Harry replied sullenly, starting to walk again. Ginny hurried to catch up with the tall young man.
"Well, I heard something that made me upset," she started, slowly side- stepping the matter.
"Would you care to share with me what you heard?" he asked, vowing to kill the one who hurt his angel.
Ginny nodded her head and took a deep breath. "I heard you and Ron talking," She said.
"About what?" he asked, stopping and looking at her.
"Well, you and Ron were talking about how you made a fool of yourself in front of a girl and you were upset about it."
Harry blushed, and saw Ginny looking at her feet. "How would that make you upset?" he asked.
"Well, if you are upset about making a fool of your self in front of a girl, you must like her," Ginny explained.
Harry blushed. "Yeah," he replied.
"And if you liked another girl, than you wouldn't like me."
Harry turned to her skeptically. "What are you talking about?" he started to ask "Do you know who I was talking about?" he asked her at which she shook her head no. "You; you were the one I made a fool of myself in front of."
"How?"
"That whole 'Anything' conversation," Harry replied blushing.
"Why would you care about making a fool of yourself in front of me? I'm just a friend!"
"Just a friend! Gin, if you only knew how much you mean to me," Harry whispered, turning to face her.
"Would you like to tell me?" She asked, tilting her head up to face him.
Harry's head started to go down and he looked into her eyes, slowly bringing their faces together. "Your definitely more than a friend to me, Virginia," he whispered before his lips touched hers.
The kiss felt so right. Suddenly, everything was right in Ginny's universe. The slight pressure of his mouth on hers made her body shiver with warmth. All was right. Everything was perfect, except for that ominous feeling in the back of her head. Something WASN'T right.
Ginny broke the kiss, and Harry looked at her startled. "There's something behind me, isn't there?" she asked, as goose bumps covered her open skin. "Something doesn't feel right. Someone's behind me."
Harry slowly looked behind her, and gulped. "Yeah, someone is behind you," He whispered in her ear. "Don't worry. Whatever it is won't harm you if I'm here."
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Yeah right," she whispered back. "I'm not getting a good vibe, Harry. Make it go away," She said, shivering with fear and cold.
"I can't, Ginny," Harry said, his voice cracking in fright.
Ginny's eyes clouded with tears, as the ominous feeling got bigger. "Oh god," she whispered. "Harry. It wants you. Go, run, and I'll stop it. Please. Just let me tell you something first," Ginny said with urgency.
"Ginny! I won't leave you here."
"Harry. Please. I can take care of it! Just listen. I," Ginny took a deep breath, and the stranger behind them noticed the way Harry was getting ready to run into the woods. "I love you," she whispered, as it shot off a curse that struck Ginny in the back.
Ginny fell to the ground, and she felt herself being dragged away from Harry. She stood up and turned to face the demon. "Go away," she whispered. "Run. Harry, run."
