No Longer Alone: Chapter 7

A/N: Sorry for the wait. I didn't mean to keep you waiting.

Disclaimer: I own nothing that you recognize and I do own the stuff you do not.

"Well that was odd. Almost like they were in a hurry," said Ginny

"Yea it was, " agreed Harry.

"Ginny can you come help me in the kitchen?" asked Molly.

"Yes mum. I'll be out in a minute."

"I'll help too Mrs. Weasley."

"Oh no you won't Harry. You're on vacation."

"But I want to help. I've never seen magical cooking being done."

"Oh alright but you will not help. Understood?"

"Yes Mrs. Weasley."

So the two headed into the kitchen where Mrs. Weasley was already at work.

"Ginny I want you to make the apple pie. Harry if you promise you will leave the kitchen after this, do you want to help Ginny make the pie?"

"Yes! Of course I will."

"That's amazing. Mum rarely changes her mind after it's set," said Ginny.

"I just used my charm on her."

"What charm?"

"The Harry Potter charm."

"That's not what did it. Mum just likes you," countered Ginny.

"Nope. It's the charm."

"There is no charm."

"Yes there is."

"No there's not."

"Yes there is."

"No there's not."

"Yes there is."

"No there's not."

"Yes there is."

"No there's not."

"Fine I give. You win," said Harry.

"Yay! Ok Harry you peel the apples. I'll make the crust."

So the two set to work making a giant Weasley sized apple pie.

"Harry are you done peeling the apples yet?"

"Just about. I have one more to peel."

"Ok. Can you chop them when you are done?"

"Sure thing."

"Harry if you don't mind me asking, why did you come after me in the Chamber?"

"Well... I didn't expect that. But that is hard to explain. I knew you meant a lot to Ron and the others and if Ron wasn't happy then I wasn't. Besides who else could speak Parseltongue?"

"Oh. Well I could."

"Can you still?"

"Can I still what?"

"Speak Parseltongue?"

"Oh. I don't know. I've never tried."

"Maybe we should. I bet we can find a snake some where around here even if we have to Accio it."

"I guess that could work. Oh look we finished the pie. We just have to cook it."

"Mum, we're done of the pie. It just has to be cooked."

"Thanks dears. I suppose you can go out for a bit. I'll let you off the hook for now."

"Thanks mum!"

"Thanks Mrs.Weasley!"

"Lets go Harry." Ginny said while looping their arms together.

"Shall we look for a snake?" asked Harry.

"I suppose. What if I can speak Parseltongue? What if people think I am evil? What if?"

"Ginny relax. Am I evil?"

"No." she said quietly.

"Do I speak Parseltongue?"

"Yes."

"Well then. There you have it. You will not be evil just because of the ability to speak to snakes. Besides, it could be considered a talent of sorts."

"Thanks Harry. Now let's find a snake."

"Yes Madame."

Ginny reached over and slapped him on the back of the head.

"OW! What did you do that for?"

"No reason." Ginny said all too innocently.

"I'll make you pay for that Miss. Weasley."

With that Ginny took off running.

"Get back here!" shouted Harry.

"No! You'll have to catch me!"

"Will do Miss.Weasley. Will do."

Harry continued to chase Ginny at a fast pace. Ginny was slowing down. She must have been tired.

Within a minute Harry had caught Ginny around the waist.

'Damn. She looks beautiful.' He thought to himself.

Without thinking he moved close to her and looked down to her face. Ginny, without noticing, slowly moved upwards and pressed her lips to his. Once Harry had realized what was happening he began to move his lips in tune with hers.

Suddenly Ginny pulled back out of air. She looked shocked for a moment and then fled. She just turned and ran for the house. She didn't stop running until she reached the safety of her room.

"Oh my god. I cannot believe I just did that. I just kissed Harry. Oh no! I just ran away from Harry after kissing him. I am so stupid. What if he thinks I think that he is a bad kisser? He's not of course but...Ugh!"

After finishing her rant she lay down onto her bed and stared silently at the ceiling.

Meanwhile outside Harry was contemplating the exact same thing.

"Why did I move closer to her? Why did I kiss her? Uh oh. She ran away. What if I'm a bad kisser? Ah!"

Unbeknownst to the two Ron and Hermione had watched the whole exchange.

"Ron you go talk to Harry while I go talk to Ginny."

"Yes Hermione." He said while walking towards Harry.

When Hermione reached Ginny's shut door she knocked.

"Ginny, it's Hermione. Are you alright?"

"No. I did something really stupid."

"Can I come in?"

"Yes."

"Will you explain to me what happened?"

"Well Harry called me Madame and I whacked him on the side of his head. Then he said I was going to pay for that so I took off running. After a bit I got tired so I slowed down but he kept running so he caught me. He made me stand straight then walked closer. Then I looked up and kissed him. Not only that he kissed me back. But then I got scared and I ran. I ran Hermione. After kissing someone. And now I'll never be able to face him again."

"Well I'll admit running wasn't the best thing you could have done. But what's done is done. You need to move on with it."

"I am such an idiot." Ginny moaned while burying her face into her pillow.

"You are not. You just made a bad decision."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Ok then. I still won't be able to face him."

"What about dinner? Your whole family will be there. You have to go."

"Can you just tell mum that I'm not feeling very well?"

"I will not lie to your mum."

At the same time Ron was having a very similar conversation with Harry.

"Hey mate. Are you ok?"

"No. I am not. I just did something and you are going to want to kill me."

"And what might that be?"

"I... kissed your sister."

"Can I say something?"

"Sure." said Harry looking slightly scared.

"About bloody time!"

"What?" said Harry in disbelief.

"Hermione and I figured you liked each other a bit ago. I also am told I have to be nice about this."

"Oh."

"Now let's get you inside and you are to go talk to my sister. Find out why she ran away."

"You knew?"

"Yes now go!"

"Yes sir." Harry said while saluting Ron.

Harry headed to the house and to Ginny's room.

A/N: WOO! THIS IS ALL FOR NOW. YAY! I FEEL SO PROUD FOR TYPING THIS IN ONE SITTING. HMM WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE CAPS? WHO KNOWS? ANYWHO PLEASE REVIEW.
