Chapter 4: The Unforgettable Night
~*~
A thousand thoughts flew through Harry's head as he accended the stairs to Ginny's room. He finally stopped hesitating and walked up the last step. He stood in front of her door. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He tried to relax, but it wasn't working. He had just realized in the midst of all the chaos that this would be his first time, also. He was starting to have serious doubts about it. 'If you don't, she'll die,' he told himself. Before he had time to lose his courage, he turned the doorknob and walked in.
He looked at Ginny. She was lying down in her bed reading a book. The room was pretty dark except for two candles lit so that she could see what she was reading. She looked up and smiled to see that it was him. He was so nervous that he didn't smile back.
"Ginny, I have to talk to you," he meant to say, but whispered instead. He fiddled carelessly with the hem of his jacket.
"What is it?" she asked in a mix between a concerned and scared voice as she put down her book and sat up.
"Ginny...I don't know how to tell this to you..." he whispered again. He was so nervous he had lost his voice. He sat down on the side of her bed.
"What?" she asked gravely.
"I got a letter from Dumbledore this afternoon. And it explained how rare the curse was...and there's only one known cure for it...and..." he took another deep breath, "it said...it said that you would have to...to..." he didn't know why he couldn't just say it. It was like every time he tried, an invisible person put thier hand over his mouth.
"What, Harry? What?" you could hear the faint hysteria in her voice.
"It said that you would have to give your virginity to the one you truly love," he said lowly. He put his head in his hands. Harry felt like a load of bricks had just been set in his stomach. Ginny was silent. When she finally spoke, her words were quiet, but confident.
"Then that would be you, Harry."
Harry looked at her and studied her for a moment. "Okay," he told her.

Downstairs, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were sitting on the couch. They weren't speaking, but just looking straight forward. There was not much that could be said. Mr. Weasley took Molly's hand in his. She accepted it. They had no idea what was going to happen, but they were in it together. Author kissed the top of Molly's head reassuringly.

Harry took Ginny's hand. To his surprise, her fingers intertwined with his. He kissed her hand...then kissed her arm...then her shoulder...then her forehead...and finally, her lips. He was sure to be gentle. His hands went to her shirt, which he unbuttoned slowly. He looked into her eyes as he removed it. He then removed his own. His lips found hers again and he lay her down gently. He lay on his side facing her and brought his hand up to her face, trying to memorize every aspect of it. He moved his fingers to her lips that he touched lightly. She smiled. His hand wandered down her body to her stomach. He then unbuttoned her pants and slid them over her legs slowly, cherishing every inch of her untouched body. He put his hands on either side of her head and looked down into her innocent brown eyes. She was biting her bottom lip nervously. He grinned and kissed her jawline, then her neck. He felt her hands go down his chest and unbutton and unzip his jeans. He slid them off of himself. He brought his lips down to kiss her neck again. Her hands were gripping lightly into his shoulders. She arched her back slightly and he took the opportunity to unclasp her bra. He slowly brought down the straps down her arms to reveal her perfect milky-white breasts. Harry almost gasped at the sight. Ginny must have senced this, because she smiled slightly. She brought his head down to kiss her.
They were both so consumed in so many emotions that all rational thought escaped their minds and all that was left in the world was the two of them. Harry broke the kiss to take off their remaning articles of clothing. They were both completely unclothed, indulged in a passionate kiss. Harry used his knee to move Ginny's legs apart. She got suddenly nervous...'This is it,' she told herself accompanied with unsteady breathing. Harry kissed her reassuringly, which helped a bit. He slowly slid into her and Ginny's breath became even more ridgid. He felt the barrier proving her virginity and captured her lips in his as he plunged into her. She gasped into his mouth. He slowly moved back and forth, making sure to be gentle and not to hurt her.
It was the most incredible thing he had ever felt in his life. Apparently it was having the same effect on Ginny, because he noticed that her gasps of discomfort had soon turned into gasps of pleasure as she gripped into his back with more force. Soon the waves of pleasure became more intense and more frequent. Before they both knew it, they came together. In each other's arms, sealing the most intense experience they would ever have. Harry was trembling slightly, his hair matted with sweat, both of them breathing ridgidly. He kissed her forehead, her lips, then burried his forehead in the crook of her neck.
"I love you," he whispered to her. Ginny's eyes welled up with tears as she stroked his hair. She had waited so long to hear those words come from him, and the moment couldn't be more precious.
"I love you," she whispered back, closing her eyes tightly, savoring every second of the moment.
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley fell asleep on the couch, in each others arms...something they hadn't done in a long time. The rest of the house had no idea of what was going on, and all engulfed in a peaceful sleep, knowing nothing of the curse, or the counter-curse, or anything that had plagued the minds of thier parents, Harry and Ginny.
That night Ginny fell asleep in Harry's arms, something she'd always dreamed about, knowing that everything was going to be okay from then on.
