Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this story in any way.
A/N: I am so extremely sorry that it has taken me so long to get all this up. I just wrote this twenty minutes ago. You see, I got in some trouble about a month ago and I wasn't allowed to go anywhere near a computer until today. I promise to try and start getting more chapters up to make up for what I've missed.
So Ginny took Hermione's advice and went to the astronomy tower again. She was nervous. Even though she had Hermione's pajamas and the special contacts in, she was fearful of what might happen. What if he wasn't there? Or what if he actually was? What would he do?
There she stood. Merely three feet outside. Her heart pounded. This was it. She took a deep breath. Then she stepped into the padded room. Nothing was there. She turned around several times and the room was bare. She was the only one there.
Ginny sighed and sat down. What could it hurt to wait there a little while? Just to see if anyone showed up. So she waited. And she waited. And she waited just a little bit more. Still, no sign of anyone.
Ginny shook her head. She should have known. Harry wouldn't show up. Why would he? She should have known. What reason could he possibly have to go to the astronomy tower in the middle of the night? It was foolish to even have come.
She stood up and brushed off her hands. Taking one last glance at the room she turned to leave, but something caught her eye. Someone was there. Hiding in the doorway. The shadows covered the figure, but Ginny knew who it was.
She stood there. Still and silent. He watched her, and made no movement either. Ginny then came back out of her little trance and panicked. What should she do? Should she go to him? Or walk right past him? Perhaps he might reveal himself?
Ginny waited a few moments longer, and decided to take out the contacts. She was afraid to look up again. Afraid he might be in his cloak, or that he had vanished. Slowly she opened her eyes, and there he was. Standing in the doorframe still, just staring at her. She smiled slightly, as did he.
Harry took a few steps and came out of the shadows. Ginny stayed right where she was, just watching, and waiting. In a mere moment he came to stand before her. Only a few inches kept distance between them. Ginny looked up to see him. His face was beautiful. Deep green eyes stared at her from behind his glasses. His hair slightly tousled. And his thin lips formed the tiniest smile.
Neither one spoke as they looked at simply tried to grasp the fact that the other one was really there. Harry really had shown up. Here they were. And Ginny felt so happy she could kiss him. Yet she refrained from doing so. The last thing she needed to do right now was scare him off.
"Ginny?" Harry whispered softly.
"Yes Harry?" Ginny calmly answered.
"You came? Why?" He asked.
"I could ask the same of you. I've been coming here for you every night. Where were you? I came here to see you. To talk to you. To see if you had any of it truly happened, or if it was just a sick dream." Ginny replied.
"I was here, but I didn't say anything. I couldn't. I had no idea what to say to you. That is, if you even wanted to see me. So I stayed hidden and I watched over you every night. But I couldn't do it anymore. I can't. I can't hide from you." He looked down at his feet.
"Why would you want to hide from me? Have I done something to upset you? Have I done something wrong?" Ginny questioned.
"No. Sometimes I think you're incapable of doing something wrong. You're so perfect. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even worthy of you." He chuckled a little.
"I think it's the other way around. I'm the one unworthy of you. You're smart, captain of the quidditch team, and everyone's hero. You've saved all our lives a countless amount of times now." She smiled.
Harry placed a hand on her cheek and stared her straight in the eye. Ginny could hardly breathe. He was going to kiss her, and she knew it. She was anxious and yet nervous too. He leaned forward and lightly brushed lips with her. And all Ginny could think was 'That's it?'
"Ginny, do you trust me? I won't hurt you this time." Harry whispered.
"I trust you." She wrapped her arms around his neck.

Hermione woke up early the next morning and thought about Ginny. How had things gone? Did she find Harry? Did things work out all right? Hermione pondered the possibilities, and she knew that there was absolutely no chance of finding anymore sleep. So she put on her robe and crawled out of bed.
Carefully she made her way towards the Gryffindor common room. Once inside she climbed up the stairs and towards the girls dormitories. As she opened the door she scanned the room for Ginny. Hermione found her bed, and saw that no one was occupying it.
Then Hermione softly closed the door behind her and made headed towards the boys dormitories. The door was cracked, and she tiptoed inside. All beds appeared to be occupied, but something didn't feel right. The snoring wasn't as loud as it should have been. She carefully stood over Harry's bed, and then yanked back the covers.
Nothing! No one there either. Hermione smirked. So she guessed they found one another and were probably still lying up there in the astronomy tower together.

After her first few classes Hermione walked with Ron to lunch. He held her tightly by the waist as he led her to the table. Hermione was very anxious to get there and to find out what had happened with Ginny. Neither Harry or Ginny had shown up for breakfast and Harry showed up late for class.
So Hermione quickly grabbed them a seat near Ginny and it happened to be near Harry. She smiled at this and started in on her food. She noticed that both had been stealing glances and smiles when they thought no one was looking.
"You must be starved woman. You were certainly in an awful hurry to get here." Ron laughed.
"I didn't eat much at breakfast and I'm starved." Hermione lied.
She finished off her plate and started in on seconds even though she was already full. Ron smiled and shook his head. Hermione tilted her head to the side questioningly.
"What?" she asked with confusion.
"Nothing. I'm just glad to see you eat. I know you eat more then most of the girls here, but it makes me happy to see a girl with an appetite." Ron reached across the table as he started in on his thirds.
She merely shrugged and continued to observe the behavior of harry and Ginny. It was amusing to her. Ginny was finally happy, and she deserved it. Still, she wanted all the details of it.
A/N: Like I said, I will try to post more often, but no guarantees. Normally I would promise, but I'm having a little bit of trouble right now. Trying to bring up two of my grades, helping my friends become friends again after a huge fight, and two boys that are really frustrating me right now. And depending on my moods, my chapters might be affected a little, but I'll try not to. I can't wait until school gets out. Only two more weeks. I hope I live.
