Falling For The Little Sister

The Sweetest Thing

Ron and Hermione were walking up ahead of Harry and Ginny debating where they should have their picnic.

"Ronald Weasley! We cannot have the picnic in the middle of the forest! It'll get dark and we'll get lost!" Yelled Hermione.

"Well, I don't want to sit beside the lake!"

"Why not?!"

"Because, because, because I'll be tempted to jump in!"

Hermione stared at him with no expression on her face. She then spoke in a voice so calm it was eerie. "That has got to be one of the stupidest things that you've ever said."

Ron glared at her. "Why is it so stupid? I don't want to be tempted to jump in!"

Hermione sighed. "Fine. If we're not going to be eating at the lake or in the forest, where are we going to eat?"

Harry interrupted them and suggested that they just spread the blanket out somewhere on the field.

They all agreed, and spread it out. Once they were seated, they began taking food out of the basket. There were fruits, vegetable, sandwiches and all different types of desserts. Ron made to grab a brownie, but Hermione swatted it away.

He snarled at her, but picked up a roast beef sandwich. Harry and Ginny both laughed at them, but shut up when they were glared at by the two.

"Um Ginny? Do you want to go for a walk?" Harry asked her while looking scared of Ron and Hermione.

"S-sure Harry. Let's go." She stood up and pulled him by the arm. "We'll be back soon guys." She said to the other two who were both looking up at them.

"Bye!" Called Harry as he and Ginny both disappeared behind a hill.

Once out of sight, Harry and Ginny both burst into peals of laughter.

"Did you see their faces?" Harry managed to say between breaths.

"Yeah, it looked like they were trying to catch flies in their mouths! They were so surprised that we left them!" said Ginny while giggling.

They started to calm down after a few more minutes. When no more laughter was heard, Harry turned to Ginny with a serious look on his face.

"Gin?"

She looked up at him.

"I meant what I said earlier today. I really do appreciate how you stood up for me and Ron today. I didn't have any idea what to do." He continued.

"It's no problem Harry. I didn't really do much."

"Maybe not, but it still helped."

Ginny blushed.

"That's not all I wanted to say to you Ginny." Harry said quietly.

"Oh?" Was all Ginny could manage to say.

"Gin, I'm sorry." Harry paused. "Ginny, I'm sorry for ignoring you in the past. I'm sorry that I never took the time to get to know you. I'm so sorry."

Ginny felt tears rolling down her cheeks. Never had she thought that Harry Potter would apologize to her. Especially for something like not talking to her.

Harry continued without looking up. "So, I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I'd like it if I could get to know you. If we could be friends? Of course, I'll understand if you don't want to. I have been pretty rude in the past."

He looked up at her and saw the tears on her face. He thought that he had said something wrong.

"Ginny, I'm sorry. Please don't cry. I can't stand to see you upset."

"Oh Harry." Sighed Ginny while trying to wipe away her tears. "I'm not upset Harry. I'm just crying because that's the sweetest thing anyone's said to me."

Harry looked doubtful. "Really?" he asked.

"Really." She confirmed. "Now come here."

He walked over to her and she pulled him into a huge hug. After a minute, she let go and said, "Well, I think that was enough crying for one day."

Harry smiled up at her.

She continued talking. "Why don't we go back to my brother and Hermione to make sure they're not trying to kill one another."

"Sounds good." Answered Harry.

So they both started walking back, each thinking in their heads how lucky they were.
