Chapter 5: The Morning After
~*~ Harry woke the next morning to find Ginny in his arms sound asleep. All the memories from the previous night came flooding back to him. He felt a slight panic at the thought that everyone knew what had happened the night before. A small hint of blush crept across his cheeks. He ran his hand down Ginny's back, which made her shiver. Her eyes fluttered open. She looked a bit shocked, but soon remembered everything and smiled. She sighed and lay her head back down on his shoulder.
"I think we should get dressed and let the aftermath hit," he told her with a grin.
"You're probably right," she said as he got up. She watched him get dressed, and soon after, did the same. They decended the stairs nervously until they came upon all of the Weasley's eating breakfast. "This feels awkward," she told him. Everyone looked up at them and smiled, to their surprise.
"Come have some breakfast," Ron told them. Mrs. Weasley gave Harry a warm smile. Before Harry could sit down, Mr. Weasley called upon him and led him into the living room. Harry swallowed hard, not knowing what to expect.
"Did everything go.um.as planned, last night, Harry?" he asked awkwardly.
Harry blushed slightly. "Yes, sir," he told him.
"No.problems?" he asked.
"No, sir," he had to stifle a laugh.
"Ah." Mr. Weasley stated, "So I suppose that the curse has been lifted?" he asked.
"That's what I'm guessing," Harry answered.
"Good then.very well.I suppose I'll let you enjoy your breakfast now," he said, in almost a hurry to get out of the situation. Harry knew deep in his heart that he'd never be able to look at him in the same way.
Harry went back to the table and sat next to Ginny, helping himself to a homemade biscuit. Everyone else all talked as if nothing had happened, as if there hadn't been anything going on, but Ginny and Harry looked at each other as if they had a secret no one else knew about, which they did. It was not said, but just understood, that they were meant for each other.
The incident was never spoken of again, and Harry and Ginny stayed together through everything. They never made love again, no matter how much either wanted to, they contained themselves knowing that it would be a thousand times more special on their wedding night. ~*~
A/N: I know it's short, but I didn't really know what all to put. I thought I'd just give you a taste of what everything would be like from then on. Ya'll were right- I did go a little fast in the other chapters. I finally read the whole thing together and now I see it. Besides, this is only my second fanfic. Oh well.you can't please everyone.
I love all my reviewers!!! Ya'll are awesome! KEEP REVIEWING!!! Thanks SOOOOO much, you don't know how much it means to me!!! I love ya'll!
