6-Sharing Happiness in the Face of Danger
Ginny stood facing Harry, less than two inches from him. Harry just gazed down at her, the seconds ticking by as he got lost in her eyes. He never had been able to look Ginny in the eye and not be sucked in by her eyes beauty. He thought her eyes alone made her the best looking girl at Hogwarts but he had to remind himself that he was a tad partial. There was fear inside him too though.
'How much of that did Ginny hear', Harry wondered just looking at her, waiting for her to say something.
Lily at this point was watching both of them with amusement in her eyes. She knew her son probably had no real experience in dealing with his emotions since he had been living with her sister so this was going to be fun to watch and if he said something wrong, well, she would be there to catch him on it.
"Harry, who is that," Ginny asked still smiling at him.
'That smile could get her anything from him and she knows it,' thought Lily
"Ginny...this is my...um... this is my mom," Harry finally managed to get out. "This is her music box and she put herself into it, kind of like Voldemort did to his diary."
At this, Harry realized he might have said the wrong thing. Ginny seized up a little and he could see a slight bit of panic well up in her eyes. Harry immediately hugged her to him, thinking it was the only thing he could do really to let her now she was safe and nothing was wrong. Ginny relaxed in his arms, burying her face in his shoulder. He always knew how to make her feel safe.
'Well, it looks like I wasn't needed to help him set things right,' Lily chuckled to herself. She waited for a minute to give them time and then came over and put her hand on Ginny's arm.
"So you are the beautiful young woman who has captured my boy. Even without me raising him he still managed to know who would be a keeper. You are as beautiful as he said you were."
At this point, Harry was almost scratching his own head. 'I never said that. Mom must be deciding to help me out, knows I can't talk to girls very well and all.'
Ginny looked over at Harry, excited, her heart almost beating out of her chest.
"Did you really say that Harry? Do you really have those feelings for me."
Harry looked down at his feet, trying to memorize his shoelaces. His feet never seemed so much to look at till now. Ginny reached out her hand and tilted up his chin to look at her. "Do you Harry?"
"Yes," Harry whispered. "I always have, I just have been afraid to tell you. When I finally got the nerve too, you already had a boyfriend and I had the Cho disaster at my feet."
At this, Lily laughed. "You make it sound like a natural disaster happened Harry."
At this, Ginny smiled a little. "It almost was, those tears of hers could have flooded the place."
Harry cracked a grin at this and just smiled down at Ginny. Ginny saw the happiness in his eyes and decided to do what she had wanted to for years. She leaned up and kissed him gently, just for a second.
Lily smiled, looking at the couple, seeing what they had reminded her of herself and James. She wasn't sure if Harry and Ginny knew it yet, but they had something special only to them.
"Does this mean that you feel the same way about me as I do about you?"
"Of course it does Harry, why else would I kiss you?"
"But what about Dean...I don't want to break you two apart."
"Me and Dean aren't together anymore Harry. It wasn't going to work. I needed someone else."
"Who?"
Lily broke in, "Don't worry sweetie, all the Potter men have been slow like that."
"Hey mom, you are supposed to be on my side!"
"Too bad, us girls stick together. Finish what you want to say then I would like to talk to Ginny alone for a couple minutes."
At this, Harry turned Ginny to face him and looked down to her gently. He had his hands on her arms, barely touching her, afraid that she would break if he held her to tightly.
"Ginny, I know you know how I feel and I think I know how you feel. Would you be my girlfriend and go out with me."
Ginny leaned up and kissed him for a second, gently, leaving Harry with a glazed look on his face.
"Does that answer your question?," Ginny giggled quietly.
"um...yeah...yeah it does," Harry stammered grinning.
"Ok, out you go, girl talk now!," Lily ordered, pushing Harry away. "It's Late, don't worry about Ginny. She'll come out in a few minutes. You got to sleep."
"Yes mom," Harry groaned and disappeared from the area.
"He may groan like that, but inside he is glad to have his mom back."
At this, Ginny and Lily both laughed as Harry transported himself out of the box and lay down on his bed, seeing Ron already snoring away on the other side of the room. His eyes crackled gently with power as he lay there, smiling to himself. If it could have, it seemed the sparks would have formed little smiley faces in Harry eyes. He closed them and drifted off to a peaceful night's sleep.
Back inside the box, Lily was looking at Ginny just as much as she was looking back at Lily. Both women were trying to see what made the other one so special to the same boy.
"Ginny, now that Harry is gone, I'm going to be frank. I didn't want to ask some things or bring others up with him around because I don't want him to worry but I must make sure you know some things."
"Ok," Ginny answered scared at the tone Lily had taken on but she wasn't about to back down after finally getting a chance with Harry.
"Do you love my son?," Lily questioned. "Because if you don't this will be very hard on you."
"Yes I love Harry. I always have. It started as a small crush but has grown into something much more. Ever since my first year, the crush has slowly gone away and now I know Harry for who he is and not just the boy-who-lived."
Lily relaxed a little. "That's good to hear because otherwise I wouldn't tell you this. I'm sure Harry hasn't told any of his friends yet but I feel you should know seeing as how you are in a much closer position. Harry isn't just the boy-who-lived, he is the one who has to defeat Voldemort and he gained the power to do it tonight. That was why he was able to do what you saw him do earlier to the painting. He told me what happened but didn't understand what it was. He hasn't learned to control the power inside yet and you saw what could happen when he gets overly emotional. Voldemort will find out that you two are together eventually but I think you two should hide it for the time being. There is no point putting yourself in more danger than is needed because Harry is going to need you. You understand where he is coming from so much more than others could because of what happened in your second year. I also know of all that, don't worry. You don't need to be scared or afraid, Harry would die to protect you, that is how much he loves you. I can see it in his eyes. It is the same look James had for me. And yes, I can see that you love him too. I want you to look out for him. I'm stuck in this box, being only thoughts and memories and I can't help him in the real world. I want you to be the one to be there for him when he needs it. Can you do that for me Ginny?"
"Yes...yes I can," Ginny said, rushing to hug the woman in front of her. Both of them knew that Harry was important to them in a way no one else could ever understand or feel and a bond formed between them. Two women who loved someone, a mother for her son and a woman for a man were able to see eye to eye on everything.
"You can come and talk to me anytime you want to Ginny, I'm sure Harry wouldn't mind. Take care of him and remember to try and keep it quiet for both of your sakes."
"Yes Mrs. Potter"
"Call me Lily Ginny."
"Ok Lily," and with that Ginny disappeared and Lily stood there smiling knowing that Harry was lucky to have found someone who cared for him so much.
The next morning, Harry awoke to find Ron still snoring away on the other side of the room. He could smell a wonderful breakfast cooking down in the kitchen and got dressed to go down.
Mrs. Weasley was cooking a gigantic breakfast, the smells drifting throughout the room and up the stairs.
"Good Morning Mrs. Weasley," Harry said as he sat down in front of a large plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast.
"Good morning dear. You are the first one to wake up this morning, did you have a good night's rest?"
"The best," Harry said grinning.
Ginny crept into the room and sat down next to Harry. He smiled over at her and she gave him a gentle kiss. Mrs. Weasley saw this and smiled at them but didn't say anything. Ginny put a finger to her lips to tell her silently to keep quiet about that. Harry just blushed as Mrs. Weasley just kept on smiling.
Suddenly, there was a flash and Fawkes appeared holding four letters. He walked over the table to Harry, looked him in the eye gently, sang a couple of uplifting notes and the disappeared again leaving the letters there on the table.
"Those must be your Owl Results and school letters," Mrs. Weasley said sitting down with a cup of tea. "Go ahead and open them up, I'm sure Ron will be asleep for a while still and Hermione won't mind, she'd want to see hers as soon as she was awake if she was here."
Harry opened up his envelope apprehensively, the wax closure bearing the Hogwarts seal as normal. Inside was his normal Hogwarts letter telling him to meet at platform 9 and 3/4 on the 1st of September along with all his supplies. Dress robes were being required again for fourth years and over so there would evidently be a formal occasion again this year. Then came the Owls Results.

Harry looked down at the bottom and Prof. McGonagall had written him a note. Harry, the results you have are quite good. I have spoken to Prof. Snape and he has agreed to take your E in potions as good enough to enter NEWT level potions. Also, I would like to congratulate you on the extra point in Defense Against the Dark Arts. That hasn't been accomplished for quite some time. You will be entered into the classes you need for Auror training. Have a good rest of the summer.
Harry showed Ginny the results he had smiling and read Ginny's letter that showed her to be named a Prefect for the 5th years.
"These are wonderful results children. Ginny, I bought Ron a broom last year for being named a prefect, is there anything you want dear."
Ginny leaned over and whispered to her mom. "Actually I want to get something for Harry for his birthday seeing how I didn't get him anything. I thought maybe I could pick out something nice for him." Ginny said all this looking hopefully up at her mother.
Mrs. Weasley gave her daughter a knowing look and smiled. "Of course dear, that will be fine. When we go to Diagon Alley you can do that, we will go together."
Harry was trying to figure out what Ginny wanted. "Want did you tell her?"
"Nothing nosy, now why don't we go show your mom your results," Ginny whispered.
"Ok"
Ron and Hermione finally decided to show their faces at the breakfast table but neither was willing to look Harry in the eyes.
"Your Owl results are here Ron, Hermione. Harry and Ginny already opened their letters. Open yours and see how you did."
Harry got up and smiling left the kitchen to go upstairs.
"Where's he going so happy," Hermione whispered to Ginny.
"Oh nowhere really," answered Ginny.
"Oh come on Ginny, we are Harry's friends too. Tell us why he is so happy," interjected Ron.
"Oh I don't know," Ginny smiled knowingly. She knew the reason was partially that he got the results he wanted and wanted to show his mom but she also knew part of it was that they were together now. "I think he wants to show his mom his results."
At this Ginny ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs leaving Hermione and Ron dumfounded at the table.
"His mom?," Ron whispered.
"His mom?," questioned Hermione back.
'What's going on,' Hermione wondered as she opened her letter and Ron went back to eating while opening his.
That day, Harry spent a lot of time in the room where Buckbeak was with Ginny, just talking to each other. It was stressful to Ginny knowing the danger Harry now faced and she told him what she had been told. Harry said it was ok that she knew; he was going to tell her anyways but that she needed to keep it a secret, that the order didn't even know it yet but that he was going to tell them soon. After that, Harry and Ginny just relaxed the afternoon away playing chess in the room and talking of what the school year may bring.
"I saw that we need dress robes again. If there is a ball again would you go with me Ginny?"
"Now Harry, as your girlfriend, I can't exactly go with anyone else."
" I know, but since no one else knows that we are going out together I wasn't sure if someone may ask you to go."
"Don't worry Harry, I'm not going with anyone but you."
With that, she leaned up and gave him a kiss that made his heart beat faster; assuring him what she said was true.
That night, while sleeping Harry started to dream again, this time of Ginny. But something was wrong. Harry could hear Ginny screaming for him and when he found her, Voldemort had her shackled up.
"Potter. I see you've come. Just like your dead godfather, I know you will come for your friends. You can't help it, that conscience you have that I rid myself of along time ago won't let you stand by and watch others suffer. I shall enjoy torturing them one by one in front of you."
"Voldemort, I wouldn't be so sure of myself this time. There may be something new for you that you can't control. Look into my eyes and see what you may."
Voldemort stared at the insolent boy, seeing his eyes start to crackle with the anger building inside the boy. Harry noticed a new emotion he had never seen on Voldemort's face before. It was fear.
Voldemort vanished from his sight but not before leaving a message. "A little spark won't hurt me boy. You had better be able to do better than that next time I see you because I plan on torturing you before I destroy you."
Harry however had seen the fear evident on Voldemort's face and knew who had won that little exchange. Harry just started to laugh and laugh as he woke up, Ginny and everyone else running to his room to see what had happened that could cause Harry to wake up in such laughter instead of screaming in pain.
"What was that about dear," Mrs. Weasley asked as Ginny held onto his hand. Everyone else was just staring at him like he had gone mad. Dumbledore, who had just arrived, was standing in the back, a knowing look in his eye chuckling at the humor of the situation. Here, when everyone thought Harry might have lost his mind, he actually protected it for the first time.
"Harry, you ok," Ginny whispered.
"Yes Ginny, it was just Voldemort," Harry laughed.
"What is so funny about Voldemort being in your head?" Hermione asked and everyone else nodded thinking the same thing.
They were just going to have to wait for an explanation because Harry was laughing to loud to tell them.
