At Second Sight
A/N: Ok here's number 3 please please please review! It only makes my day brighter! thank you! and enjoy!
Ginny awoke early the next morning and looked up to see a small stream of sunlight coming in through a small barred window high up on the opposite wall. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and turned slightly only to find bright green eyes staring down at her. She inhaled sharply.
"Oh, Harry you scared me, good morning!" She said
" Morning Gin" Harry smiled slightly.
Ginny looked around and saw that he was leaning over, elbows on his knees and chin in his hands, sitting in a small wooden chair. She gasped.
" Harry, did you sleep in that chair?"
"Yeah" He said
"Harry, you slept there all night? Er.. why didn't you wake me . we could have er divided the bed or something, weren't you terribly uncomfortable?" She said awkwardly.
" I was too tired to notice" He replied.
"Oh" She said.
Then there was silence. After a few minutes Ginny spoke.
" Thank you" She said
" For what?" Harry asked.
" For just letting me cry last night, all these things have been happening to me lately and I just needed to let it all out, so thanks for being there for me." She said looking down at the ground.
" I'll always be here for you Gin, you can come to me whenever, I'll always listen. or just.let you cry." He said, enveloping her in a short hug.
She blushed slightly and then looked into his eyes.
"I'm scared Harry." She choked.
"Me too," he said, placing his hand on top of hers.
This sent shivers up Ginny's spine, she had always dreamed of being in Harry's arms, but this wasn't the way it was supposed to be, not here in this cold dark dungeon. She let out a heavy sigh.
" You know," she said " This place reminds me of somewhere I've been before, somewhere I'd never like to be again, it's dark and cold and has the feeling of dark magic emanating from the walls" She said while she shivered. Harry's grip on her hand tightened.
"It reminds you of the chamber doesn't it?" He asked softly.
"Exactly" She said shaking. " You know being a first year isn't easy! And to top it all off having everyone hate you because you are under dark magic doesn't make it any easier. I thought that when I found that diary in my cauldron that I had a new friend I confided everything to Tom, and he seemed to understand me, but all the while he was hexing me and forcing me to do his work. I figured it out a couple of times and tried to get rid of the diary, but it didn't work, he still haunted me! I mean I put my trust into him, I told him all my deepest secrets, my dreams, my hopes, my crushes.." At this she blushed madly and Harry laughed.
" Bet you didn't know that Tom told me everything you wrote practically." He said.
"He did???" She asked, very frightened. "He didn't tell you about. Well you. did he?"
" Yeah he did," Harry smiled.
"Oh my gosh, get me out of here. wow. I've never been more embarrassed than I am right now!" Ginny squealed, turning beat red in that Weasley fashion.
"It's okay Gin, it was actually nice to know someone cared about me then." He assured, while stroking the top of her hand.
"Really? Well all it was was a harmless crush. " She giggled. She didn't know if she should say anything else. could she trust her mouth to follow her brain or her heart? Her brain told her to stop now, but her heart told her to continue and tell Harry how she had really felt after the incident in the chamber.
Harry stared at Ginny. She was blushing and staring at the floor. She had just told him that she had had a crush on him, which took guts, especially for a Weasley. She sat there biting her lip, he knew there was something more she wanted to say but she was holding it back. Oh how he loved it when she bit her lip like that, she always did it when she was trying to make a big decision. For one moment he wished he could hear her thoughts, but he couldn't. Instead he just stared at her, the thin stream of sunlight hitting her face perfectly, making her look like a glowing angel, her hair shone in the light and her red curls seemed almost to glow. Only one thought struck Harry at this moment, She was beautiful.
"Harry" She said softly." I was scared, I ended up finding myself in the middle of that chamber and knew that I had opened it, and then all of a sudden I was sinking to the floor and I could literally feel my life being sucked from me, and then there was Tom cowering over me laughing mercilessly, oh Harry, in those last moments before I blacked out I prayed for a hero to come and get me out of that place, to rescue me and act like it didn't matter that I had done those things. And then I woke up to find you kneeling beside me, actually caring if I was alright, that was the first time that year someone actually acted like they cared. My prayers were answered Harry. you were my hero, you saved my life and I am forever grateful. That's when my simple." she drifted off slowly, too afraid to finish saying what she knew they both needed to hear.
"That's when what?" Harry asked, wondering what she was getting to.
" Oh, I couldn't possibly tell you Harry, you would just laugh at me, and seeing as neither of us could run away I would just die." She said.
Harry brought his hand up to her shoulder. "Gin, I won't laugh, no matter what it is. I want to know, I won't interrupt and I'll listen to what you have to say!" He assured.
" Well, you only live once I guess, and if I do die tomorrow at the hands of You-Know-Who then I would be glad I told you." She said, her confidence boosting slightly.
"Before the chamber, " she sighed, it was now or never. " I thought of you as a hero to the wizarding world, a celebrity that happened to be my brother's friend. I had the celebrity crush thing going on. But after the chamber I. I .. I started to see you for who you really were, you were caring and strong, and sweet and handsome and you were my hero. you saved my life.. and that feeling has just felt right ever since, You see Harry ever since that day that I woke up to see you, I knew. I love you Harry." She said the last part very quickly and the stared at the floor, waiting for the worst.
Harry stared at her in shock, butterflies leaping in his stomach, had she said what he had thought she had said? " Can you say that last part again?" He asked.
She looked up into his sparkling eyes and said, " I love you Harry".
Harry couldn't help the grin that spread across his face, it had been real she had said she had loved him! He was ecstatic!
Ginny saw a grin come across Harry's face and didn't know what to make of it, but she certainly saw it as a bad sign, he was about to laugh in her face.
"Harry, I'm sorry I shouldn't hav..." But she couldn't finish he sentence because in an instant Harry's hands were cupping her face and he had pressed his lips firmly against hers. She was shocked at first and stared out opened eyed, but then she closed her eyes and leaned further into the kiss, carefully draping her arms over Harry's shoulders. When they pulled apart they were gasping for air and their lips tingled.
"Did you feel that?" Harry asked in one swift breath.
Ginny stared at him wide-eyed, unable to speak after what had happened, she simply nodded. She longed to press her lips against his again, when he had kissed her it was like a huge surge of electricity had exchanged between their lips, they tingled and felt weird. It wasn't a normal kiss and they both knew it.
" Gin, what do you make of that? " He asked. She seriously had no clue.
" It felt like you shocked me or something," she said.
" I particularly liked it!" He smirked and then captured her lips again. This time the sensation was ten times more powerful than before and this caused then to jump apart.
"Do you think that's what a kiss is like if you're meant to be together. forever, like when you find the one?" Ginny asked.
" I sure hope so" Harry grinned.
" Harry do you believe in love at first sight?" Ginny asked as she leaned against his chest.
He wrapped his arms protectively around her and whispered into her hair " No, But I believe in love at second."
They just stayed like that for awhile knowing that whatever happened to them in the next few days, weeks, months, that they wouldn't let the other one go, they both truly believed that love could conquer all, especially Voldemort.
