How do I say I Love You?

By: Lady Arwen Gryffindor

Chapter 2:

To the Burrow

Harry sat in his room checking his watch. "Five 'til noon, I hope Ron gets it right. I don't need him popping up in the den," Harry said out loud to no one in particular, well that is except Hedwig, because as usual Harry was alone. Harry was collecting his last minute thoughts when once again there was a knock on his door.

"Come in," Harry said. And to his surprise, once again, his Aunt walked through the door. "Harry we're leaving now. It's time to take Dudley to school...Remember, even though I can't show it around your Uncle I love you...ARGH!"

There was a loud "CRACK" and Ron Weasley as standing next to Aunt Petunia. "ARGH! Bloody Hell, what is she doing in your room Harry?!" Harry just shrugged, "We made up, she is my only family after all."

Ron looked a bit shocked, but said, "Ok." Aunt Petunia on the other hand was looking rather splotchy; there were spots of red, white, and purple on her face. She slowly spoke gaining her composure. "How did you do that, Ron is it? That was...don't tell Vernon, brilliant!" Her eyes shining a bit with a look of wanting to try magic.

Ron was about to answer when from downstairs they heard Uncle Vernon yell, "PETUNIA, HURRY UP! WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE!" Petunia looked from Ron to Harry and to a shock gave each a kiss on the cheek, "Good luck in school. Remember Harry write if you can." With that petunia turned and left the room. Ron looked at harry in disbelief.

"I'll explain when we get to the Burrow," Harry said grabbing his things. "Let's go." And with a loud "Crack" both Ron and Harry disapperated to the Burrow and showed up in the kitchen.

"MUM! We're here!" Ron yelled, and at once there was a rush of feet. From outside Mr. Weasley came covered in dirt and clutching what looked like a gnome hat, Mrs. Weasley came in from the living room, Fred and George from the den, and Hermione and Ginny from upstairs.

"Harry dear how are you doing? It is so nice to see you again. I hope your summer went well." Ron interrupted, "Mum, don't nag him."

Ginny and Hermione came forward and gave him hugs and wishes of "Happy Birthday!" As Ginny hugged him, harry felt his heart race, his palm sweat, and his mouth go dry. "Hi Ginny, thanks for the book, it's great."

Ginny smiled and Harry had to catch his breath, it looked like she had been in the sun quite a bit either working in the garden or playing Quidditch. Her eyes twinkled as she looked at him and she, unnoticed by her family gave Harry a sly, sexy grin.

Ginny turned to her mum and said, "Mum, no more fussing over him; let him get settled in, then we can eat." Harry hadn't noticed but Mrs. Weasley had laid the table full of his, Ron and Hermione's favorite foods.

Harry, Ginny, Ron and Hermione left the kitchen and headed up the narrow stairs of the house. Ginny and Hermione stopped off at Ginny's room while Ron and Harry continued up the stairs.

"So Ron what do you have to tell me?" Harry asked once they reached Ron's room.

"Oh...that...um, I've well I mean...MeandHermionehavestartedgoingout," Ron said it so fast that Harry had to let it play over in his head a few times.

"Hey mate, that's great. When did this happen?"

"Oh, the other day, she arrived and told me how she hadn't though of anything but me since we left Hogwarts last term. I told her the same and we decided to go out," Ron said slightly red in the face.

"Ron, that's great mate. Really great," Harry said smiling for his two best pals. It only made him realize just how much he wanted to tell Ginny how he cared.

"Let's go down and eat dinner then, shall we?" Ron said while they were leaving the room and both headed back downstairs. They reached the dining room and took seats. Harry next to Ginny and Ron, while Ron sat next to Hermione. As Harry sat down he felt Ginny's eyes on him.

Once Mrs. Weasley brought the reheated food back into the kitchen, Harry reached for the mashed potatoes and blushed as his arm brushed against her arm. Dinner went well and every so often Harry would "accidentally" brush against Ginny. Ginny stated playing along and playfully told Harry, "If you want the food, just ask I'll give it to you."

After dinner everyone went their own ways either to their rooms or the living room. Harry wanted to get a breath of fresh air so he went outside to walk around. As he walked he thought of ways to let Ginny know how he felt. Just as he thought of the perfect thing to say, he felt a presence behind him. Turing around with his wand drawn and ready to attack, he saw Ginny standing there.

"Hi Harry, I hope you don't mind...I sort of followed you. I couldn't stand being in the same room with Ron and Hermione any longer. Couldn't have an intelligent conversation with them if I wanted to. They were all googally eyed at each other," Ginny said taking a few steps closer to Harry.

Harry himself knew just how Ron and Hermione felt. He was going googally eyed over Ginny. "Harry are you alright? You are looking a bit weird," Ginny asked reaching out and holding Harry's hand. Harry gulped. "Ginny...what are you doing? Why are you holding my hand?"

"Harry...I want to tell you something... But I don't know how to tell," Ginny started. "I think I can help you out Ginny. I...I think, no I know I like you, love you. I have since the first day I saw you. Would you be my girlfriend?" Harry said, eyes glued to Ginny's and silently praying that she would say yes.

"Harry, I don't know what to say... I would love to be your girlfriend." With those words said, they shared their first kiss which there would be many more to come. After the kiss had finished both Harry and Ginny had to take long deep breaths. They looked into each others eyes, but neither could say what was on their mind. They just knew it was worth it.

They leaned in for another kiss when they heard a noise. Not wanting to stop and look, they ignored it and continued the kiss. That is until they heard, "BLOODY HELL! What is going on?!" Ron had found them.

"Harry! Ginny! This is fantastic! It's about time," Hermione was there as well. Harry and Ginny broke apart but didn't let go of each other.

"Ron, I can explain," Harry began.

"I don't want to hear it Harry. I thought you were my friend. But i can see you were just after my sister," Ron stormed off.

"RONALD WEASLEY! You get your skinny white bum back here. RIGHT NOW!" Ginny yelled. "You have no right to say that to my boyfriend. I'm sorry Harry. I'm sorry I have the biggest git for a brother, and I'm sorry for not doing that a long time ago."

Ginny left Harry's side and grabbed Hermione's arm. Ginny drug Hermione toward the house but stopped by Ron. "Harry is your friend. And you better get used to the idea of us, because we're going to be together for a long time. Hermione lets go to my room and let the boys settle this. I'd hate to have ether of us lose their boyfriend tonight." With that the girls disappeared, Ginny pulling Hermione dragging, leaving Harry and Ron glaring at each other.

Author Note: Hey sorry it took so long to get this out. Like I said I had school and a bunch of stuff like that. I promise to get the next part out very soon. I've already started writing it and it looks good. Please R/R. Thanks
