A/N: WOW you guys it has been a month since I updated and I am SO SORRY. I
find myself constantly having really bad writer's block. I want this to be
a good story, so I am trying my best to keep it that way. Thanks to the 7
reviewers, I hope I get more reviews soon! OH and to FortuneCookie, no the
name of the bookstore is not really Dickens and Reed in the books. I don't
think they ever mention there being a bookstore in Hogsmeade in the books,
so I created one. I actually got the name from a bookstore here in the town
I live! Onto the story!
"Every Day is a Winding Road" Chapter 2, I spy
Ginny sat across from Harry Potter in wonderment.
He was laughing at things she said, he was looking at her in an almost scrutinizing way, and best of all when women passed their table checking him out, his eyes never left Ginny's. She was amazed at how much fun she was having with him, and how she was able to complete many coherent sentences! This had never happened before and she pondered the change that could have occurred between them. Or with her. Or both.
"Ginny?" Harry interrupted her internal reverie.
"Yes?"
"This may be a bit ..presumptuous of me, but I heard that you had a small cottage here in Hogsmeade ..I would love to see it if you would allow me ."
She almost sighed. He was so sweet. He was looking at her with big puppy dog eyes that could almost be apologetic. Of course she didn't mind if he came over.
Oh my goodness. Harry Potter wants to come to my house!
Harry Potter, the boy she'd cared for for so many years wanted to come to her house.
Oh my goodness.
OH MY GOODNESS I DIDN'T ANSWER HIM!
"YES .yes of course" she said in a more subdued voice the second time. She felt herself begin to blush, she must seem like a psycho who belonged in the psychiatric ward of St. Mungo's.
He smiled, and she swore the room got brighter. "Great!" He quickly paid the check and they walked out of the Three Broomsticks. "You lead the way" he said with a flourish of his hand. Ginny smiled and him and did just that.

"Sirius, are you insane?"
"I wonder sometimes .."
"Be serious! You told the boy to find himself a girlfriend?! You can't tell someone to go out and SEARCH for love! Love must find you!"
"Remus .."
"And besides that, he's probably going to rebel against you and turn down every woman that he's asked out by just to show you that he doesn't need a woman!"
"Remus .."
"And FURTHER MORE he's going to end up alone in a large flat with only a strange friend like YOU and his owl to keep him company!!!!!"
"REMUS!!!!!!"
Remus Lupin finally stopped fuming at his friend. "What?!"
Sirius sighed, "If you would LISTEN to me for two seconds I could EXPLAIN to you."
Remus crossed his arms and leaned back into the chair Harry had occupied earlier that morning across from Sirius' desk. Remus had been like a second godfather to Harry, helping Sirius support Harry as he grew up. It was no surprise he was reacting as he was.
"First of all, I did not TELL him to get a girlfriend, I SUGGESTED that he should look into it."
Remus mumbled something that sounded slightly like 'same difference' under his breath, but Sirius kept going.
"Second, he is NOT going to 'rebel' against me. Why would he do such a thing? He turned down every woman that asked him out BEFORE I spoke to him anyway! Besides, he seemed almost INTRESTED in the idea of finding someone."
"Really?"
"And LAST, even if he DOES end up alone, which I doubt he will considering how many women throw themselves at him daily, it would be perfectly alright. Look at us! We're alone and basically just have each other to rely on, and we're not crazy!"
Remus gave him a dubious look.
"Well YOU might be, but I am perfectly normal."
Remus snorted.
"Well .I could be."
Remus rolled his eyes, "So Harry seemed interested in finding someone eh? Who do you think that he'll approach, if anyone?"
Sirius was about to speak when it hit him. A sly smile slowly began to form at the corners of his mouth.
"Oh no! Not the smile! I don't trust that smile! Whatever it is that you're thinking, NO! NO NO NO NO NO!"
Sirius ignored him and walked to his storage cabinet where he pulled out a flat object with a gold frame. To the human eye, it would appear to be a small mirror, but Remus knew otherwise.
"A Selenter? Why ..?"
Selenters were very fascinating and rare objects that not many wizards owned anymore. Selenters were made to take a small look into a person's daily life. Sirius looked straight down into the Selenter and saw his own reflection only for a moment before he clearly spoke "Harry Potter". The mirror began to move as if it was water and a small stone was just dropped into it. The picture cleared, and Sirius peered down at it and grinned devilishly.
"Looks like our boy's already begun his quest".
Remus looked down as well and could not help but smile.
"What is it with Potters and redheads?"
*
"Ginny this place is great".
She blushed, "well ..it is for me. It works".
Harry was walking around the cottage in awe. Ginny had done so much on her own, she had become such an incredible person that he regretted not getting to know her in years past. He stood by the sliding glass door that led out into the small garden.
Ginny came up behind him and unlocked the door and they stepped outside.
"This is my favorite place to be. I feel very much at peace here." She confided. She walked over and sat on a small stone bench surrounded by beautiful blossoming pink and white roses.
"It's lovely" Harry smiled, "a girls' dream".
She smiled shyly and looked down at her feet. Harry looked at her and hesitated before going over and standing in front of her. She looked up and moved over, clearly offering him the seat beside her. He took it. He looked around and pondered for what seemed to be the thousandth time why he did not see this amazing girl right in front of him this entire time. He realized he was staring intently at her and she turned and looked him right in the eye. His face was very close to hers and he realized with a shocking feeling that he wanted to kiss this girl. One date and he wanted to kiss her. He saw her moisten her lips, maybe from nerves and he started to lean in when ..he felt someone watching him. He jumped away and looked around and realized that no one was there. He suddenly figured out what was going on.
"Ginny, I had an amazing time with you today, I will be seeing you soon, I have to go." And with that he apperated away leaving Ginny stunned, confused and a bit hurt.
A/N: REVIEW! I PROMISE that I will update MUCH faster this time. If I get reviews, I'll update in at the least, a week. Much luv~
