How do I say I Love You?
By: Lady Arwen Gryffindor
Chapter 3
As Ginny and Hermione enter the house, Ron and Harry stood facing each other. Ron fuming mad, and Harry wondering how to make his friend understand. Ron's face was so red that he could have cooked steak and eggs on it. Harry was about to start an explanation when Ron let out a frustrated grunt and sigh, "Harry, look mate, I know you like Ginny and I know that she likes you. BUT if you do anything to hurt her, I will hurt you. I do know where you live mate, and I know where you go to school. I'm going to keep my eye on you."
Harry grinned, "Ron, with you and your brothers, do you think I'd do anything stupid? I mean, one could feed me to a dragon, one could lock me in a pyramid, one could bore me to death with talk, and two could turn me into a Harry Canary. I don't want that, and I would not do anything bad to Ginny."
"Well Harry, you covered Charlie, Bill, Percy, Fred and George, but you left me out. What could I do?" Ron asked. "That's easy, you could make me barf slugs." Harry replied earning a laugh from Ron.
"My wand is better now. I don't have a broken wand anymore. Put 'er there mate," Ron said holding out his hand. Harry took it and shook it. "You have nothing to worry about."
While Ron and Harry were talking, Ginny and Hermione were doing some talking of their own. "Hermione, do you think that Ron will...you know, understand? I mean...I really have feelings for Harry. It could, no it is love," Ginny said blushing at her cheeks and the tips of her ears. Hermione smiled and thought to herself 'about time.'
"Ginny, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I think Ron is more afraid of Harry then Harry is of Ron. I also think that no matter what Ron says, Harry isn't going to stop his pursuit of you. Soooo tell me, how long have you LOVED Harry?"
"Yeah Ginny, how long have you loved me?" Harry said, leaning against the doorframe to her room.
"HARRY! You weren't supposed to hear that," Ginny said blushing even more.
"I think I'll leave you too alone; Harry is Ron in his room?" Hermione asked. Harry nodded and Hermione left, closing the door behind her. "Ginny, you don't have to be embarrassed," Harry said as he walked closer to Ginny. He took her in his arms and held her tight. "I love you too. I always have, and I always will."
"Harry, please...don't toy with me. I couldn't take it is you were. I've been hurt before by my other boyfriends, and I've been taken advantage of...." Ginny said trailing off, silently sobbing into Harry's shoulder.
"Ginny, who hurt you? What did they do?? Tell me, I'll take care of them. You don't have to worry about me hurting you. I'd never think of it, I love you to much," Harry said in a hushed voice, gently kissing the top of Ginny's head.
Ginny continued to sob, harder then before. "Harry I can't tell you, you'd be angry and get in trouble. Any ways, it doesn't matter now, it's over and I'm with you, you are all I've ever wanted." Harry sighed; he felt the same way about Ginny. She was all he wanted and now that he had her, he had to find out who had hurt her.
"Ginny, I promise I wont do anything rash, but I'm not going to push you, you can tell me when you are ready. But can you answer me one question?" Harry asked and Ginny nodded into his chest. "Did he try to rape you?" Ginny sobbed louder, and Harry knew what the answer was.
Later that night, as Ron and Harry were getting ready for bed, Harry couldn't stop thinking about what Ginny had said. 'What if Ron, Fred and George knew? They would do more damage to this person then he would.' Harry was determined to find out who this person was. He was going to talk to Ron the next day, but only if Ginny wanted him to tell him. Harry fell asleep with these thoughts running through his head, and awoke the next morning with them still in his head. He had not gotten much sleep the night before, and was feeling the effects of it.
"Hey Ron, can I ask you a question?" "Harry you just did," Ron said. "Geez aren't you in a better mood then yesterday?" Harry said.
"Yeah well, I had time to sleep it off, and I fully understand how you feel about Ginny, cause I feel the same about Hermione," Ron said. This was going to be more difficult then Harry had thought. "Hey Ron, that's great. It's about time that you two hit it off, instead of each other," Harry said, ducking out of the way of the flying pillow that Ron had thrown.
Harry had a look of concern on his face as he rose and thought of a way to mention Ginny's past to Ron. "Harry, man, are you ok? You are looking a bit....I don't know...strange," Ron asked Harry, noticing his face.
"Nah man, I'm cool, but I'm worried....no never mind," Harry said as he turned to walk to the bathroom for his morning shower. Ron ran to the door just in time to see the top of Harry's head disappear over the stairs. Ron walked back into his room and sat on the bed wondering what Harry had been about to tell him when he left.
"Morning Ron, have you seen Harry?" Ginny had popped her head into Ron's room around the door. "Not here sis, he went to the bathroom for his morning shower."
"Ok, bye!" Ginny said, turning around and walking back to her room, silently praying that Harry hadn't and wouldn't tell Ron or any of her brothers what she had said the night before.
A/N: Ok, I know this took a lot longer then I said it would, but I was having a bit of a brain fart about what to write. I'm also sorry that it is a bit short. I'm not that great at writing long chapters, but I'm trying, I really am. I'm not really happy with this chapter, I think it might be a bit to dark. Let me know what you think, if it is to dark I can rewrite it in a lighter mood. I'll take a poll, but I need to know by Friday Jan. 2 2004.
