Chapter 17: The First Fight

~~~~~

Harry sat in the common room, thinking, he always did this when it was quite enough to hear your own thoughts. The portrait hole opened and in walked Hermione, the indescribable Hermione. Thick, untamed hair and neither girlie or a tomboy, just predictable Hermione.

"Harry," Hermione shook her head, tsking. She walked over to Harry. They were just back from Christmas vacation and the first week of school was over.

"Hermione!" Harry jumped up and ran to her. "Is Ginny avoiding me?" Harry asked, he hadn't seen Ginny since they got back, she had been cold and distant ever since the shed incident. Harry had thought about it a lot, much to the lower region's dismay.

Harry was convinced that if they went any farther that Harry would go insane and maybe, just might have violated Ginny and cause her to lose something she shouldn't lose until she is married. He couldn't risk it because if Ginny had a little Potter then Harry would never be welcome with the Weasley again, but he really wasn't considering that when it happened.

"Yes." Hermione said bluntly, "She is avoiding you."

"Did I say something wrong?" Harry questioned, following Hermione to a secluded part of the practically empty common room, just in case.

"You told her to stop." Hermione explained.

"No, I told her to slow down." Harry pointed out.

Hermione shrugged, "She seemed to think you said stop, and you said it like she was just some horny slut." Hermione was turning red in the face, "It is just Eros all over again!"

"Hey! I said slow down, not lets get it on with my friends right here and now!" Harry sat back, "Girls take work."

"But is she worth it?" Hermione asked, leaning forward. Her eyes seemed glassy and she looked pale. Hermione's hand reached out and grabbed Harry's hand. Not the same as Ginny's. Hermione's was just a hand, a rubbery hand. Ginny's was soft, it was warm and a perfect fit with his.

"Of course she is worth it," Harry almost whispered.

~~~

Harry walked around the grounds, where could she be? He realized at that time, with his hands deep in his pockets, that he never wanted to be without her again. He wanted to always be at her side. He needed to tell her than he loved her.

Harry spotted a red head behind a low garden wall, he was sure it was Ginny, as he walked around he could see she was with someone, a boy.

"Come on, Gin!" He said. Harry recognized his voice. "Admit it, you miss me. You know that I'm a better kisser than Harry Potter. Probably better at something else too."

Harry came into view, it was Eros, he was annoying Ginny. Harry turned red in the face watching Ginny covering up her legs with her cloak while Eros tried to feel up her skirt.

Harry, not knowing what he was doing, pulled out his wand and pointed it at Eros, muttering a spell to knock him back on the ground with a loud thud. Ginny's head snapped toward Harry.

Harry was shaking as he took a step forward and, without saying any spell, Eros began to float upside-down, making a few Galleons fall out of his pockets. Harry let Eros struggle and move around making his head hit the low garden wall.

"Harry!" Ginny jumped up. Was it Ginny? She looked remarkably like his mother for a moment. This whole situation suddenly reminded him of Snape's Memory of his parents in their fifth year. Harry lowered his wand, Eros fell.

Ginny's eyes showed disgusted anger. Harry felt something stab at his heart. 'Two wrongs don't make a right,' popped into his head. Before he knew what was happening, Ginny turned away and a hand punched in him the face.

Harry wished he wouldn't have do that. He could feel the broken glasses and the stinging pain in his left eye. "Eros!" Ginny's voice, Harry recognized. Harry went out. Eros had punched him making stars appear and lights play in his head before he went out like a bulb.

The scene, for only a minute, looked just like the one he saw from inside the pensieve. Eros playing the geeky, oily Snape. Harry playing his father of course and Ginny playing Lily, Harry's mum.

The look on Ginny's face and the fear in Eros's eyes just made the part they played look more real. He couldn't believe he had done that but it was over, he was out, almost coming to and he could tell he wasn't in the hospital wing. Maybe Eros left in the woods. Or maybe not...

"Ginny?" Harry asked, he couldn't see, his glasses were off.

"Shhh... I'm fixing your glasses." Ginny calmed him down. It looked like they were in the locker room and Harry was on the massage table.

"You don't hate me, do you?" Harry asked.

"No, I don't." She sighed. "Would I be here if I did?" Ginny helped place Harry's glasses on his face, he could feel the cold wire against his new forming bruise.

"Ginny," Harry grabbed a hold of her hand. "I'm sorry if you thought I was pushing you away because I didn't like it, because I liked it a lot. I mean a lot a lot."

"Harry," Ginny interrupted. He loved the way her eyes shine when she's talking. "I could tell you liked it." She motioned to Harry's pants and he smiled.

"I didn't mean for us to stop all together, I just knew that if you kept doing that thing with your tongue that I would be on top of you before we could stop ourselves. " Harry sat up and put his arms out to pull her closer to him. He was happy that she didn't seem to mind.

"I don't know what was going through my mind, Harry." Ginny sighed. "I just know that nothing has ever felt so right and yet so wrong at the same time." Harry nodded and she snaked her hands around his stomach.

"I know how you feel." Harry said, "I didn't want to risk doing something unhonorable to you."

"Unhonorable?" Ginny giggle/snorted.

Harry smiled at her now truly cheerful face. "Yes! Unhonorable!" Harry jumped off the table and stood in front of her. "I'm just so glad that your not mad at me!"

"I'm not." Ginny reached up and touched Harry's black eye with the lightest touch which caused a weird light pain. "If a boy will get that for me, then how can I stay mad at him?" Ginny reached up and kissed him softly.

"Ginny, I have something to tell you." Harry said quietly when Ginny pulled away.

"Huh?" Ginny moaned softly, placing her face in the nook of his neck.

Harry closed his eyes and hugged her tightly, "I love you." Those words, surprisingly took little effort, maybe because he knew that she felt the same.

"I love you, too," was Ginny's muffled reply.
