Chapter 10: A Chess Game
~~~~~
Ginny walked down the stone walkway in the Hogsmeade village with her best friend Kyan. "It was so weird!" She told him, "I had a nightmare, so I decided to sleep in your room but I went to 6th year boys instead."
"Weird." Kyan agreed.
"Your bed is on the left of the window, so is his!"
"Fate." Kyan said with a smile, nudging her in the ribs.
Ginny rolled her eyes and shoved her hands in her jacket pockets so they wouldn't freeze. "Anyway," Ginny said moving back on topic. "I didn't realize it wasn't you until he told me it was ok that I join him." Ginny explained as they stopped outside a shop to look in its windows. "Well, I do have some good news."
"What's that?" Kyan asked, walking on.
Ginny caught up to him and smiled, "Seamus sleeps in the nude." Ginny told her homosexual friend.
"No way!" He said, appalled. Ginny nodded. "I knew one of them did..."
"But, Seamus isn't as, um," Ginny paused for a smile, "developed as the rest, so Harry says."
"Harry?"
"He assures me that if he told me who had the largest that I wouldn't be able to keep my hands off of him, meaning Harry himself." Ginny rubbed her arms to warm them up.
Kyan laughed, "He is a strange one."
~~~
Christmas was coming fast. Harry was staying over Christmas, as usual. Hermione found that staying over Christmas 'cleared her mind' or so she told her parents. Ginny, who was staying too, thought that the mind clearing was due to the braniac's fellow prefect's tongue down her throat.
Hermione was sitting on a sofa in the common room. She wrote her last word in flourish and tossed it and her quill into the neat pile of finished homework and then she looked over at Ron. He tossed his work into the messy stack of unfinished work and moved closer to her.
Hermione giggled and wrapped her arms around Ron's neck. It had been snowing that day so the fire in the common room wasn't enough to keep warm, Ron got a chill when Hermione's freezing fingers touched his neck. Ron pulled a throw blanket from the back of the sofa around himself and Hermione and began to kiss her.
Hermione leaned back and laid down on the sofa and let Ron on top of her, he made sure that not all of his weight was put on her as he let his tongue into her mouth.
The portrait of the common room opened and Ginny and Harry walked in. They didn't see Ron and Hermione snogging on the sofa that was facing opposite of them.
The mistletoe flew to Ginny and Harry, finding new victims to make lock lips. Ginny pointed up to it and smiled. Harry did too and said, "Merry Christmas!" He leaned in and kissed Ginny.
Ron and Hermione heard Harry say something so they were going to sit up and tell him to go away but Ron spotted, not only Harry, but Harry's lips stuck on Ginny's. "POTTER!?!" Ron yelled.
Harry and Ginny broke apart and looked at Ron and Hermione with shocked faces. Hermione winked at Ginny and Ron looked like his head would explode. Well, wouldn't you if you saw your best friend for six years feeling up on your baby sister?
"Potter!" Suddenly, everything Ron and Harry had been through together reduced to: "Potter!" Ron huffed, "What were doing with your paws on my sister?" Ron yelled like mad.
Harry cowered as Ron jumped up and walked over to him like he had jet legged. "Potter! What do you think you were doing?"
"I was, um, well," Harry stuttered, "Kissing Ginny." Harry said simply.
"And? Who is she?" Ron growled.
"Ginny?" Harry asked. Ron nodded. "She is Ginny Weasley."
"Ginny, leave!" Ron barked.
"Hey!" Ginny yelled, crossing her arms. "This is about me!"
"Hermione?" Ron yelled behind him, "Please get her out of here."
Hermione slowly walked over to Ginny and put a comforting arm around her. Hermione gave Ron a look that she disapproved of what he was doing. Ginny huffed and puffed and walked off with her.
"Now," Ron spoke up, in his angry growl, after the girls disappeared upstairs. "Tell me who she is."
"Ginny Weasley!" Harry yelled. "Beautiful, talented, funny, Virginia 'Ginny' Weasley!" Harry walked toward the portrait.
"Where do you think your going?" Ron barked.
"What?" Harry yelled, "First you want me off your sister and now you don't want me to leave?"
"I didn't know how you felt about her!" Ron continued to yell.
"Well, I care deeply about her!" Harry advanced on Ron.
"Good!" Ron yelled, feeling ready to push Harry.
"Good then!" Harry yelled, clenching his fists. Harry and Ron stared at each other, faces red and fists white. "Then," Harry yelled again, "why are we yelling?!"
Ron's face softened. "I don't know."
Harry shrugged and said, "Well, now that we have cleared that up!" Harry said sarcastically.
"Harry!" Ron rolled his eyes, "What are you trying to say?"
"Do you hate me for liking your sister?" Harry asked.
Ron sat down on the couch and mumbled, "I guess not."
"What?" Harry asked, sitting in the chair.
"Well, at first I liked the way Ginny revolved herself around you," Ron leaned back. "I knew she didn't have a chance with you so she couldn't be hurt by any other guy, then she started dating those guys that I don't approve off and stopped liking you...Well, I was hurt because it was like she was saying, 'Your friends aren't good enough.'" Ron shrugged, "And well, now, that she likes you and you like her, I thinks its ok--"
"What?" Harry asked with a smile.
"I said, I think its ok."
"No, before that!" Harry leaned on his knees and looked at Ron with hungry eyes.
"That you like her or that she likes you?" Ron's face got more twisted up with every syllable that escaped his mouth.
"You think she does?" Harry's cheeks turned pink and a happy smile.
"Well," Ron said, shifting in his seat from feeling uncomfortable. "Seeing the way she was kissing you, I'd say yes."
Harry grinned widely and sat back in his seat, a smile on his face like he had just run a good mile. Hermione walked down the stairs and was glaring at Ron. "Are you two done?" She asked bitterly.
Ron nodded and held his arms out for her. She just stood there for a few seconds making him wait and once his unsure glance hit her eyes she melted and fell into his arms, kissing him and smiling.
Ginny rolled her eyes and sat on the floor next to the table. Hermione noticed the awkward silence and said aloud, "How about a game of chess?"
"Who?" Ron, Harry, and Ginny asked.
Hermione thought it over for a second, "Everyone!" They looked confused. "Teams! Ron and I against Harry and Ginny?" Ron shrugged.
Harry looked at Ginny for confirmation and she nodded. Harry slid onto the floor next to her as Ron set out the board on the coffee table. Hermione looked at Ginny and winked. Harry rolled his eyes and thought to himself, 'Girls!'
Ginny looked at the board and said her first move. The white pawn moved forward two spaces and waved to its fellow pawns like it had done the biggest battle of all. Harry smiled at Ginny who moved closer to him so they both could be equal at the board.
Hermione rested her head on Ron's soldiers as her directed his troops into battle. Ron was blushing because of how close Hermione's lips were to his without kissing.
Ginny covered her face with her hand as she leaned over to Harry's ear and whispered an order, letting her lips touch his skin and making him obtain a goofy grin.
Harry sent forth his bishop and stole Ron's castle. Ron glared and sent out his knight to dispose of Harry's piece. Three brave pawns and one broken in half queen, Ron danced his victory dance.
"Funky Chicken, Ron?" Ginny asked bitterly.
"Yes!" He said proudly waving his arms around and collapsing by Hermione to kiss her.
"Eww!" Ginny yelled after they locked lips. "Do you know how disgusting it is to see your best friend KISSING your sibling??"
"Yes!" Ron yelled staring at her. Ginny became quite and looked away.
"Well," Hermione nudged Ron. "I think we need to get some HOMEWORK done..."
Ron looked at his stack of papers. Hermione's hand shot up and pushed his cheek to look at her. "Oh!" He said after a minute, "Homework, right..." Ron grabbed her hand and pulled her out of the Common Room.
Ginny waited until she heard the portrait close then she turned to Harry. "What did you and my brother talk about?" Ginny asked.
"Oh, stuff."
"Stuff?" Ginny asked. "Just stuff?"
"Nothing really." Harry shrugged.
"Oh, I'm nothing now?" Ginny crossed her arms and glared at him.
"No," Harry pulled her close so he was holding her, "your just about everything." Ginny melted.
Harry pulled the blanket off the sofa that Ron and Hermione used earlier and covered her with it. "Harry, really, what did my brother say?"
"He said that he liked the fact that we play tonsil hockey." Harry whispered in her ear.
"He did not say that?" She said, turning around so that she was looking at him.
"No," Harry said, liking the looks she was giving him. "He said that he wasn't upset but just not to do it around him ever again. Thus, he would get the same feeling as you received witnessing Hermione get food out of Ron's teeth with her tongue."
"Ewww!" Ginny slapped him on the chest.
Harry's hand flew up and put his hand over her's so she could feel his heartbeat. The look in Harry's eyes changed from amusement to something else and Ginny couldn't stop looking at him.
"Ginny, I'm sorry its taken me this long to notice you. I must have been blind to miss such a wonderful person!"
"But?" Ginny asked, feeling disappointed like he was about to call off them or something.
"What about my butt?" Harry asked joking around. It made her smile. "I don't know how I missed you. You make me feel like there is no one else I would rather spend my time with, but you."
Ginny could feel Harry's fast heartbeat and she giggled.
"What?" Harry asked, upset that she ruined his moment by giggling.
"Look!" Ginny grabbed his other hand and put it to her heart, both hearts seemed to be beating a hundred miles a minute in unison.
Harry smiled.
"Uh!" Neville said then turned around, "So sorry! I don't mean to walk in on you two. Sorry!" Neville sideshimmed out of the common room.
~~~
Harry walked down the hall the next day, it was snowing again so stuck inside himself and Ginny Weasley, who was no where to be found. Harry was going to pop the question. No, not the marry me question, the will you be my girlfriend question.
Ginny was missing, not in her dorm room, common room, Great Hall, or Library. Harry didn't think she knew where the kitchen was but the twins were her older brothers. Harry didn't know any of her friends or enemies or if she was in the Hospital Wing. 'Erh, the Hospital!' Harry went there just to check. 'Thank God, she's not there!'
Harry would not give up, she had to be around somewhere. Harry went up the stairs, he was going to get the Marauders Map out of his trunk but he saw a flash of red hair in the fifth floor corridor so he went after it. "Ginny!" He yelled.
Ginny spun around and looked at him, "Harry?"
Harry ran over to her. "I've been looking everywhere for you!" Harry told her, trying to catch his breath.
"Why?" Ginny smiled, feeling flattered.
"I need to ask you a question," Harry smiled and paused.
Ginny nodded for him to go on. 'This is it,' he told himself. 'I'm going to ask her now!'
"Wou--" But Harry was cut off.
"Hey, Ginny, ready to go?" A tall blond, 'pretty-boy' who wasn't good for any use showed up and dared to put his hand on Ginny's shoulder like a-- like a---'Boyfried?!' Harry thought.
~~~
CLIFFHANGER!!! Muhahaha! I know I'm not really this mean, but I had to do it! I had to!
Next Chapter: Is it the last? Who is this pretty-boy who is with Ginny? Will Harry ever get his red-head fox? Will Hermione snog Ron? Most likely the last one is true...lol...
Thanks to:
SjabRox : I couldn't have Ron catch Harry and Ginny in bed! I think Ron would kill him rather than yell and threaten. I think Ron finding out about H/G is better this way:)
Rayssa Radcliffe : Thank you very much. I will try my hardest, I couldn't this week because it was finals, so I had to study for 7 test and deal with a creative jucies overflow, I had to deal with it in my Essays! ((I got top marks in English!!!!)) I will try soon to read for fic!
Darcy16 : lol! I hope you like his reaction. I realize that in other fics when Ron figures out about Harry and Ginny, he doesn't seem in character. Sometimes he is happy for them, sometimes he is angry, but I hope my version is good:)
Rita3 : You always make me laugh! Right on!! I glad you like Harry's reactions and I hope you enjoy the rest of this fic, I think next chapter should be the last, what do you think?
SiremBlack : LOL! Thanks! I like the snog session too...lol...I think Ron and Hermione are due for another one next chapter *wink*
Thank you to everyone who reads! Please go to my site as well!
