Chapter 7: Sweet Revelations

Ginny lay in bed thinking, 'what was that about'? she thought. Ginny found Harry's behavior that night strange. He had just stared at her, and stumbled over his words, she even thought she had seen him blush. This was strange to her, it was starting to give her the notion that Harry may possibly like her. Oh, but what was she kidding herself for, he didn't like her, they had established that. She was making up things to make her feel better about herself. She lay there thinking about these things a little longer but couldn't go to sleep, not to mention it was extremely cold in her room. she got out of bed, grabbed her blanket and made her way down to the common room to sit by the fire. ************************************************************************

Harry sat straight up in bed, sweat pouring down his forehead. He had yet another nightmare. This always happened to him, ever since Cedric. This time it had been different, He had been in a room filled with gray smoke. Across the room sitting peacefully in her chair had been Ginny. He had tried to get to her but every time he got close he ran into an invisible wall. This went on for some time until Ginny finally saw him, she ran to the wall reaching for him, trying to get him out, but she too was stuck.

Then the smoke cleared and a black darkness filled its place and the only light visible were two red specks in the distance. These were moving closer to him, until they stood right in front of the wall. These red eyes glared at him through the fog, daring him to come closer. Then a powerful scream filled the air and he recognized it immediately, it was Ginny. He had woken up then. Scared and broken, what had Voldemort wanted with Ginny? Harry sat in bed shivering from his cold surroundings, the dream haunting him further. He had to get out, he put on his robe and headed down to the common room. Maybe he could find some release within the fire.

************************************************************************

Harry descended the stairs that led into the common room and paused at the bottom. He gazed around the common room and saw a flash of red over by the raging fire. His heart skipped a beat, it was Ginny. What was he going to do? He wasn't even sure of his feelings toward her . How could he face her without making a total idiot out of himself. So he stood there for a moment, just looking at her. Noticing the many shades of red in her hair, her cute expression and the longing he saw while she stared into the flames. She looked worried or troubled. He began to walk over. His robe scraped the floor and made a slight sound that caused Ginny to turn his way.

"Oh Harry it's just you!!! You scared me please don't sneak up behind people!!! " She said , breathing heavily.

" Er.. Sorry," he apologized . He made his way over to the couch and sat beside her.

" So what are you down here for?" She asked casting a sideways glance at him.

" Oh.. no real reason" He replied

" Harry, I know you, you had a nightmare didn't you?" She asked, the worry evident in her trembling voice.

" Well, er, yeah" He said.

"I'm sorry Harry. What was it about? Do you want to talk about it?" She inquired

"Not really, I'd rather forget it!" He said.

"Oh okay, well just know you can always talk to me about nightmares... I have them too you know." She said softly, placing a reassuring hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks" He muttered.

Harry leaned back onto the couch. Staring at the fire. It felt nice to have someone who cared about him sitting there.

" So why are you here?" He asked

"I couldn't sleep and it is horribly cold up there." She said with a shiver.

"You're telling me!!" He said. They sat in silence for a couple of minutes and then Harry decided to talk.

" Ginny can I ask you a question?" He asked.

"Er. okay" she said turning to face him.

"Er.. I was thinking that maybe, well you know there's a Hogsmeade weekend coming.. And.I just wondered if.. w..well. if you might want to .. Er.. Go .. with.. me?????" He stammered slowly. She stared wide eyed at him. Wondering what this was all about. Was he lonely and just wanted company? Or did he like her and want her to go with him as like a date?? She wished she wasn't so confused.

" Er.. Of course I'll go with you." She replied sleepily.

Nothing could express Harry's joy at that moment, he knew at last! He really did like Ginny, it had taken him a while but he really liked her. She was smart and funny and sweet and the most beautiful person he had ever seen in his life. 'I can't believe this!' he thought. He liked Ginny, he might even. love her?

"Great" He said. But she didn't hear him. He glanced over to find her sleeping, a peaceful smile playing on her lips. He stood up and covered her with the blanket. He bent slowly and dared to lightly kiss her cheek.

"Goodnight Ginny" He whispered and then started up to his dormitory.
