Chapter 5: On My Turf. (or I Won't Let You Fall)

I prayed that I had cleaned my section of the room that morning and luckily I had. We walked over to my bed and I climbed in and settled down as Harry sat on the end of my bed. Suddenly his face turned serious.

"What.what did he say to you Ginny?" he asked gently, placing his hand on mine.

"It's quite funny really." I said and Harry looked at me in disbelief.

"Funny? You were crying Gin!"

"Yeah I know."

"So what happened?"

"Hold your Hippogriffs!" Harry looked a little upset.

"Sorry," I said sighing. "He asked me to go to the Christmas Ball with him. He didn't seem to want to take no for an answer which is what I would have said if you two hadn't come along."

"That is funny." Harry said, but there wasn't a trace of a smile on his face.

"Then what happened?" he asked, squeezing my hand.

"I accused him of being deaf and stupid so I don't blame him for grabbing me." I said grinning slightly.

"Well done on calling him that but that still doesn't give him the right to hurt you." Harry said, the anger in his voice evident.

"Awww shucks, thanks Harry." I said pretending to blush and waved him away with my hand.

"This isn't a joke Ginny, he could really be out to hurt you now." Harry said, getting up and walking around my bed and coming to sit next to me on the covers of my bed.

"Yeah maybe, but I have you and Ron there to protect me so I'm fine." I said hugging his arm.

"Yeah. Now get some rest ok, I don't want you to stress over this."

"Me stress? Never!" I said as I snuggled down into my bed.

I woke up a couple of hours later to find that Harry was still there beside me. He looked so peaceful that I didn't want to wake him but he had already missed Transfiguration. I traced my finger from his scar down to his jaw, thinking about how I had fallen in love with him before and how I would have reacted then to wake up and have Harry Potter sleeping next to me. Now it felt as though Harry was actually my boyfriend, after all, he did have his arms wrapped around me and his head was tucked into the curve of my neck. Anyone who would walk in now would believe that we were an item. That's what we wanted sure. I was even beginning to believe it myself.

I took a chance and kissed him lightly on the lips. Letting them linger there probably a second too long as I felt his lips respond to mine. Shocked, my eyes flew open to see Harry sitting there laughing quietly.

"Thought you could kiss me and get away unharmed?" he said propping himself up on his elbow.

"Unharmed? Those lips couldn't harm anything, too damn soft." I said looking at him seductively.

I was only acting but he didn't know. It was obvious by the look on his face. The smile had slid off his face and he had turned a light shade of pink.

"I thought that I should wake you and tell you to get to class." I said looking at my clock and pointing out the time to him.

"Oh damn! Thanks Mum." He said, intending to kiss me on the cheek but I moved, not seeing him at first and his lips brushed against mine for the second time in the last five minutes. We both blushed but Harry covered his up by smirking and then blowing me a kiss and leaving out the door.

Needless to say, I sat on my bed staring into space for a very long time.

***

Harry and Ron had taken to walking me to class ever since the Malfoy incident and I can't say that it was bothering me very much. I was having a fantastic time going everywhere with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Hermione said that it was good because now she had someone to talk too; it evened out the numbers of their group. I still spent time with my friends. It was nice to have them ask me questions about Harry; it was fun to make up some of the questions too. When they asked me if he was a good kisser or not I didn't have to lie.

"Tell us Ginny!" My friend Maria asked.

"He's.a fantastic kisser." I said giving in to myself and giggling slightly.

I looked over to the table where Harry, Hermione and Ron were sitting at and was surprised to find Harry staring at me intently. Once he realised that I was looking at him he smiled warmly. I smiled back and blew him a kiss and he laughed outward. It was so much fun flirting with him. When you think about it, not a lot had changed between us since we had started going out. We were acting like that with each other before we were a couple. It is still weird to think that about the two of us. Like Harry said: we are practically family.

She walked closer to the sound of the person screaming, it had to be coming out of that room, she just knew it. Suddenly the screams ceased and the door opened by itself and she screamed herself when she saw what was behind the door. Now she knew what-

"Hello Miss Weasley."

I felt as though my heart had leapt up into my throat. I turned around abruptly to find Harry standing there grinning. I jumped up and leaned over the couch and walloped him with my book.

"Don't ever ever do that again!" I said, whacking him around the head with it. He blocked all of my hits with his hands effortlessly but that wasn't the point.

"Sorry! Gin come on! I said I was sorry!" he said making his way around the couch and flopping down beside me.

I glared at him and settled back down and opened up my book again and took the liberty of hitting Harry with it once more before beginning to read again.

"So," I said five minutes later, not taking my eyes from my book. "What did you want?"

"Want? I want you. Ginny, I truly do love you." He said with a straight face. I looked at him incredulously and he suddenly burst out laughing.

"That is not funny. Not funny at all. How do you know about that anyway?" He fished around in is pockets and produced a familiar piece of parchment.

It was the letter itself.

"How'd you get that?" I asked somewhat interestedly.

"You left it on the table." He said shrugging.

"Oh." I laughed at my actions and started reading my book again.

Harry sat there; obviously absorbed in his own thoughts and he changed position on the couch and laid his legs across my lap. I looked at him with a raised eyebrow but he didn't do anything. He looked close to falling asleep so I grinned and dumped his legs onto the floor from my lap.

"Huh what? Hey." He said sleepily. "What was that for?"

"I am not you're foot rest Harry Potter!" I said laughing at him as I placed my own feet on his lap. He laughed and started tickli9ng me. I am a very ticklish person as I have mentioned before.

"Harry! No. Stop it this instant. You're not stopping are you?" I said as he ran his finger slightly along the length of my sockless feet.

"What did I ever do to you?!" I managed to get out between my laughter.

"Nothing bad." He said looking at me seriously. I stopped laughing and looked at him, wondering what he was getting at.

Apparently he didn't feel like sharing.

"What are we doing out here?" I said shivering.

Harry had woken me up fifteen minutes ago and dragged me up to the Astronomy tower.

"You do realise what people usually do at this time of night at the Astronomy don't you? I really don't want to witness it myself." I said wiggling my eyebrows at him to show my meaning.

"Just come on, I want to show you something." He said pulling me along.

So here we were sitting up on the roof of the Astronomy tower, well at least I didn't have to witness anyone snogging. I thought to myself. We were on the roof! No one would come up here but us.

"What is it Harry?" I asked him yawning pointedly.

"You can go back to sleep if you want." He said absently.

"Excuse me? I could have done that in my bed!" I said, getting slightly annoyed at the lack of answers I was getting.

"What I want to show you won't happen for a couple more hours." He said, leaning back on the roof and I followed suit.

"Wow, the stars are bright tonight." Harry mumbled. I laughed and he looked at me questioningly.

"You sound like a Centaur!" I said imitating them.

"Mar's is bright tonight." I said in a dopey voice. Harry shoved me slightly in the shoulder and I shoved him back. This continued for a while until I felt myself slip a little ways down the roof.

"Harry!" I said, looking back at him in fear and I clung to the edge of the roof, hands slipping already.

Harry reached down and grabbed my hand expertly and hefted me back up next to him.

I was so shocked that I couldn't talk and Harry didn't either. Whether he couldn't or wouldn't, I didn't know.

The last thing I knew was that I was leaning against Harry and clinging onto him and he uttered a sentence that I don't think I will forget in a hurry.

"I won't let you fall Ginny."

Something made me think that he didn't just mean off the roof.
