************************************************************************
"Ginny you're finally awake!" said Michael laughing as Ginny opened her eyes and sat up in bed. "What's that supposed to mean?" Ginny asked curiously.
"Well, it's about 2 in the afternoon," Michael told her grinning. "Oh wow! I never sleep in that late!" Ginny said sounding surprised, "I guess I was just tired."
"How is your head?" Michael asked her. "Oh it's fine," Ginny said, "it doesn't hurt at all. My leg is sort of sore though."
Michael walked over to her and asked her to lift up the bandage. "Well, it still doesn't look to good, but at least your head is okay," he stated.
"Yeah," Ginny responded. Then she glanced in the corner and saw Ron snoozing away. "What's with Ron?" Ginny asked, "why is he sleeping in so late?"
Michael turned and looked at Ron. "Well, he trudged in here at about 2 in the morning and when I asked him where he was he turned all red and grunted and said he was going to bed," said Michael.
Ginny smirked. "I bet he was with Hermione," she said. Michael gave a surprised look. "Hermione? The mermaid? Is there something going on between them?" Ginny nodded. "I think there is," she said.
Then she looked around the room, and noticed everyone was gone, and, glaring to herself, she also noticed Harry was gone as well.
"Where is everyone?" Ginny asked. "Well all the boys are out hunting. And Harry is-," Michael said but Ginny interrupted him.
"Oh I can guess where he is. Probably off somewhere flirting with that stupid Cho, without even caring that I got hurt last night because of him," Ginny said angrily.
"Well – er – actually he said he was going to get you flowers because he felt bad. He was up all night watching you while you slept," Michael said.
"Oh," Ginny said. The two were silent for a couple minutes before Michael looked up and said, "Ginny let's see if we can get you out of bed."
"Alright," Ginny said. She managed to get out from underneath the covers with Michael's help, but when she tried to stand up on her legs, she fell over, but Michael caught her.
Their faces were very close together. Michael was breathing heavily. Finally, after what seemed like forever Michael was able to say "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," Ginny breathed in a mere whisper. She blushed when she realized she was practically drooling over Michael. "Oh this is just great! Now I'm going to be stuck in bed until I can walk again!" she said attempting to change the subject.
"No you won't!" Michael said. Ginny stared at him. "What do you mean?" she asked. "I can take you to the Healing Pool," Michael said.
"What is that?!" Ginny asked. This sounded absurd to her. "It's this magical pool of water. If you're ill or hurt and you get inside it, then it heals you. Fleur was the one who put the enchantment on it, because we don't have those doctors to heal us like you do in London," Michael said.
"Oh what a great idea!" Ginny said. "Yeah, you want to head over there now?" said Michael. "The sooner the better!" Ginny said unsure of how she was supposed to get there when she couldn't even walk.
She picked up her foot and made another attempt to walk but Michael stopped her. "Let me help you," he said, lifting her up and carrying her across the room and out of the hideout.
Ginny blushed. It was extremely awkward, but extremely nice at the same time. She was a little embarrassed, but she liked being in Michael's arms. It gave her a warm feeling.
After what seemed like forever to Ginny, they reached a clearing where there was a giant pool of water, and it looked like a shiny, purplish color to her.
Michael helped her get into the pool. Even when she had just put her foot in, she felt a warm serene feeling. She began getting a tingly feeling in her stomach once she was completely in the pool.
The pain left her leg, and all the cuts she had received the previous night disappeared. Once she felt that the pool had completely healed her, she got out.
"How do you feel?" asked Michael. "Wonderful!" Ginny said, twirling around the grass. Michael laughed, and then began to slowly approach her.
Ginny stopped twirling, and watched him as he got closer and closer to her. There were many butterflies in her stomach. He was right in front of her, his face now centimeters from hers.
He cupped her chin in his hands and kissed her. And Ginny surprisingly responded. She could not believe she was having her very first kiss here, in Neverland.
"There you guys are! I've been looking all over fo-," said Harry entering the clearing. But then he stopped, mid-sentence upon seeing the scene in front of him.
Michael and Ginny immediately stopped kissing. Michael flushed and Ginny turned as red as her hair. Harry was shocked.
Not only shocked because of what he just saw, but because for some reason he wanted to hurt Michael. For some reason, he felt a huge amount of jealously bubble up inside him.
But why did he want to hurt Michael? Was he jealous that Michael was kissing Ginny? Was Harry smitten with Ginny? Well, there could be no other answer right?
"Er – yeah, okay – erm – I'll just go. And er, I'll see you back at the hideout," said Harry. Then he ran out of the clearing, but he didn't head towards the hideout. He ran towards his secret spot, that only he, Harry, knew about.
It was where he went to think. Finally, he reached the lake, and swam to the bottom where there was a giant wall. He pushed one rock aside swam through the opening and up onto the surface of the water on the other side of the opening. This was Harry's sanctuary.
It was a pretty little area with lots of flowers and a gigantic waterfall. Harry always went and sat behind the waterfall whenever he was distraught or he needed to think.
Harry sat behind that waterfall until nightfall, and spent the entire time thinking about Ginny Weasley. He finally realized that he had been smitten with Ginny the entire time, which was why he was jealous of Michael.
Harry got up, left his secret spot and got out on the other side of the lake. He used his wand to perform a drying spell and began heading back to the hideout. Harry had made a decision. As soon as he saw Ginny, he was going to tell her that he loved her.
Was she going to love him back? Well that he didn't know. But no matter what, he was going to tell Ginny that he was in love with her.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After Harry ran away from the scene between Ginny and Michael he had walked in on, Ginny and Michael stood there for several minutes in awkward silence.
Ginny was thinking. She had always expected to feel light as a feather after her first real kiss, but for some reason, she didn't feel like this after she kissed Michael.
He was a wonderful guy, but she didn't feel that way about him. Ginny finally admitted to herself after several minutes of pondering that the real person she was in love with was Harry, not Michael.
Finally, Ginny spoke. "Listen, Michael, I – you – that kiss. It – I don't think it should have happened. You're terrific, really, you are, but I don't think I feel that way about you," she said.
To her relief, Michael nodded. "It's okay, I understand. I – well I thought I liked you as more than a friend, but I think I have just been in denial about who I really liked," he said.
Ginny smiled. "Really? You like someone else? Michael that's wonderful. Who is it?" Ginny said. "Padma," Michael said, "I think that I liked her for ages, but I just denied it." Then he paused, and he looked at her.
"Well what are you still doing here?" he asked. "What?" Ginny said confused at what he was talking about. "Gin, I can tell that you like Harry. And I know he likes you. Go, Ginny, go see Harry, and tell him," Michael said smiling.
Ginny was about to run back to the hideout to find Harry, but then she stopped, turned around, walked up to Michael and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you, Michael, thanks for everything," she said. Michael smiled at her. Then she left in the direction of the hideout to go and find Harry.
She was running as fast as she could. As soon as she reached the hideout she bumped into someone and was knocked to the ground.
"Oh sorry Ginny!" said Harry's voice. Ginny jumped up. "Harry! I wanted to talk to you!" she said. "About me and Michael I-,"
"Ginny I have to tell you something," Harry said interrupting her.
"Harry what is it?" Ginny asked curiously. Was he going to tell her that he wanted her to leave because he was angry at her for kissing Michael?
"I don't care what happened between you and Michael I have to tell you this."
"Harry I have to tell you something too."
"It took me a while but I finally realized-,"
"Harry what happened between me and Michael wasn't supposed to happen."
Harry started walking towards Ginny and Ginny began walking towards Harry. At the same time they both whispered, "I lo-," but then (as usual) someone walked in on them. Ron.
"Hey what's going on with you two?" Ron asked as he appeared right by the hideout. Ginny noticed that his clothes were rather damp, as if he had been swimming...
Ron glanced down at Harry and Ginny's hands, and they did, too. Without even noticing, they had been holding each other's hands. Immediately both let go.
Ginny could tell this was going to get very bad; Ron was very protective over Ginny, because he felt it was his responsibility to take care of her. Ron didn't like the idea of his little sister being in love with a guy, an older guy to be more exact. His ears were very red. That was a warning sign that Ron was feeling a strong emotion and she guessed what he was feeling right now was a bit of anger.
"Ron before you get all angry," Ginny started. "Angry?" Harry said, almost timidly. Ginny ignored this. "Ron don't be angry nothing happened," Ginny said. She was trying to prevent a nasty quarrel where Ron might end up ripping Harry's head off.
It wouldn't necessarily be THAT dramatic, that's just a figure of speech. But still...
Ron looked suspiciously at the two. "Are you telling the truth Ginny?" he asked. "Yes Ron," Ginny said exasperated.
"And where were you, anyway?" she asked him, trying to get his mind off of her and Harry. Ron's ears turned a darker shad of red. Ron grumbled a little bit, and Ginny thought she heard him say he fancied a little walk, but she believed he might have been visiting a certain, bushy-haired mermaid.
Knowing her limits, Ginny decided not to pursue the subject. "Well then! Let's all get to bed! I'm awfully tired!" Ginny said and a would-be cheery voice.
Harry glanced at her, and she blushed and looked away. That night while she was lying in bed, she decided the next day she was going to go and visit Hermione and get some advice on Harry. Plus, she was going to try and see if she could squeeze out any information about Hermione and Ron....
