Ginny sighed happily and dropped down in "her" chair by the fire. That night had been wonderful. He had surprised her that night, with a picnic by the lake's edge. She was astonished with the offer. She was suspicious at first, but she calmed down when they started to eat. He was sensitive and kind, parts of him that he never showed. She wanted to know what he was up to, asking her out on a date.

He told her that he had waited a long time for her to be free. He apologized to her for making her feel bad the day before, when he called her easy and a slut. He admitted that he punched Blaise when he told all the guys in Slytherin that Ginny gave into him, that she was easy. Ginny's eyes enlarged when he told her things that were deep and personal. But he really surprised her when he walked her back to the school, and he gave her a kiss outside of Gryffindor Tower.

Ginny sighed again, and pulled out "Images In Mind" notebook. Settled for the muggle pencil that her dad sent her in the mail. She began to scrawl in the notebook, spilling all her feelings into her work.

One Last Time

Would you ask me to dance again?

Would you twirl me around one last time?

I love to feel the wind in my hair.

I love the warmth of your hand on my back.

Would you ask me out on a date again?

Would you take me be to that special place one last time?

I love the feel of the blanket beneath me.

I love to dine under the stars with you.

Would you kiss me again?

Would you hold me like you did one last time?

I love to feel your lips on mine.

I love the way you hold me tight when are close.

Would you hug me again?

Would you tell me good-by one last time?

I love the way you care for me.

I love the way you would do anything for me.

Would you call me again?

Would dream of me one last time?

I love the way you would call me at odd hours.

I love the way you tell me your dreams of me.

Would you come back to me again?

Would you make sure you'd hold me one last time?

I love you too much to see you leave.

I love you too much to imagine life without you.

Ginny sighed again and put the pencil and notebook away. She noticed that Hermione was walking down the stairs, and she grinned mischievously. 'Oh, how would Ron, Harry, and Hermione react when they find out!' Ginny thought. She got up from her chair and met Hermione at the bottom of the stairs.

"Where were you all night?" Hermione asked.

Ginny shrugged and simply replied with a lie, "I went to Hogsmead quickly."

Hermione shook her head and giggled. Ginny knew Hermione had bought her lie. They both just smiled and went up the stairs.
