Hey, I wrote this story a while ago and people said it was good....so I'm gonna post it...I hope u like it.

Just the Beginning

It was now Harry's seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He had finally defeated Voldemort in his sixth year when the Dark Lord had lured him into a trap and Harry shot the Killing Curse at him. Now that it was all over, he could finally have a normal school year. He was still the most famous young wizard of his time, but he tried not to let it go to his head. Harry had stayed with the Weasleys for the entire summer that year. He and Ron went over Quidditch strategies as Harry was now allowed back on the team and was captain. Ginny had decided to play Chaser instead so that Harry could play Seeker. The team was switching Chasers and Beaters by the year.

"Man Ron, I hope we find someone good this year. Someone's going to have to take over next year." Harry laughed. Ron did too.

"So, when do you think Herms will get here?" Ron asked. Harry shrugged.

"I dunno. When do you think you'll admit you fancy her?" Ron blushed. Harry and Ginny both knew that Ron fancied Hermione, but wouldn't admit it.

"Harry, I can't tell her! Do you know what she'd say?"

"She'd probably say that she fancies you too you git!" Ginny laughed while jumped onto the couch. Harry was laughing too.

"I wouldn't talk if I were you two." Ron said smoothly. Ginny and Harry stopped laughing and stared at Ron.

"What are you talking about?" asked Harry. Ron rolled his eyes.

"It completely obvious that you two like each other. Why don't you just admit it?" They both turned red.

"We'll admit it when you admit it to Hermione." Harry replied. Just then a noise came from the fireplace. "Oh she has such good timing." Ginny giggled. Hermione shot out from the fireplace with her trunk and school supplies.

"What are you laughing at?" Hermione asked as she dusted soot off of her clothes.

"Nothing Hermione; it's nice to see you again. We think Ron here has something he needs to tell you. We'll leave you two alone." Ginny laughed.

"Yeah. Hey Ginny, I'll race you around the house on our brooms!" Harry suggested. They both rushed out of the house. Hermione looked at Ron suspiciously.

"Alright Ron, what's up?" she asked.

"You-you might want to sit down." he replied. She took a seat next to him on the couch. "Alright. Hermione, I've liked you since second year." Ron stared at his hands as though they were the most interesting things in the world. "I understand if you don't like me though." he muttered. To his surprise and delight Hermione flung her arms around him and kissed his cheek.

"Oh Ron! I like you too!" she exclaimed.

"Th-then will you b-be my girlfriend?"

"Of course!" she hugged him again.

Outside...



Harry and Ginny had just finished their third and final lap around the house. Harry had won because his Firebolt was obviously faster then Ginny's Commit 260. They were sitting on the ground in front of a small lake.

"So, Gin...what did Ron mean back there?" Harry asked. Ginny blushed.

"I-I like you Harry. Not because you're the Boy-Who-Lived, but because you're a wonderful friend. I mean you, all handsome and rich befriended my brother who's dorky and poor." she blushed.

Harry took a deep breath. "Well then...I guess I should tell you too. I think you're great Ginny. You've become an even more beautiful and powerful witch over the years that I've known you. I was kind of wondering if you'd go out with me."

"You mean...be your girlfriend?" she asked excitedly. Harry nodded. She hugged him and they continued to talk and cuddle until Mrs. Weasley called them in for dinner. Before they entered the house Harry kissed Ginny on the cheek and when they reached the kitchen they saw Ron and Hermione sitting next to each other holding hands.
