Sunrise

Sunrise

Sunrise

Looks like morning in your eyes

But the clocks held 9:15 for hours

Sunrise

Sunrise

Couldn't tempt us if it tried

Coz' the afternoon's already come and gone

And I said

Ooooo, oooo, oooo

To you

Surprise

Surprise

Couldn't find it in your eyes

But I'm sure it's written all over my face

Surprise

Surprise

Never something I could like

When I see we made it through another day

Then I say

Oooo, oooo, oooo

To you

And now the night

Will throw its cover down on me again

And if I'm right

It's the only way to bring me back

Ooooo, oooo, oooo

To you

"Ginny!, Oi, Giiny! Wake up!"

Ugh... The sound of Ginny's youngest and most irritating brother....RON.

"Oi, Ginny, wake up, Harry and Hermione are going to be here any minute." Ron said as he practically pulled the covers of his sister's bed, revealing a sleepy yet grumpy looking Ginny.

"What, Ron?" She yelled as she was standing up to face her brother who was now about 6 ft. tall, muscular and has a shaggy hairstyle, wearing faded jeans, black chucks and a black vintage shirt that says 'QuidditchGirlsRIOT'.

"I said, Harry and Hermione are going to be here any minute, now, how do I look? Do I look ok, tell me the truth Ginevra! I knew I shouldn't have put too much gel on my hair... it makes me look..."

"like a bloody idiot!" Finished her sister and she received a glare form Ron.

"Well, look who's talking? Why aren't you dressed yet? Shouldn't you be frantically fixing yourself now because.... Harry's coming over...yihee....."

SMACK!

"Ow, what the bloody hell was that for?" Ron shouted at his sister and received another SMACK.

"For being an idiot! For your information dear brother... I think you're bluffing. Everyone knows I'm over him. Even HE knows that... well, of course you don't.. since you practically don't KNOW anything. HMMMPH!" Ginny said as she walked past her brother, chin up and nose in the air going to the bathroom.

"BOY!" Ugh. The sound of Harry's gosh-forsaken Uncle.

"BOY! COME DOWN HERE, NOW!" yelled Vernon.

Harry headed downstairs, amused by seeing Mr. Weasley smiling at him.

"Hello, Harry! Are you ready?" said Mr. Weasley, shaking Harry's hand.

"Hello Mr. Weasley, I'll just get my things upstairs ok?" Harry said as he climbed the stairs to his room ignoring his uncle's scowls.

He grabbed all his things including his 7th yr. books, trunk filled with clothes and Hedwig. He then headed downstairs again and met up with Mr. Weasley.

"Hey, Mr. Weasley! I'm ready, I'll be back next summer. Bye." He said as he dragged Mr. Weasley outside leaving a baffled Uncle Vernon.

"Alright, Harry.... We'll apparate ok? On the count of three... 1...2....3....

Ginny went to their garden with a huge smile on her face. She brought a mat, a book and an apple with her. She enjoyed feeling fresh and free... feeling the soft breeze caressing her long, silky, red hair.

She definitely grew up this summer. She blossomed into one drop-dead gorgeous woman. Her hair's not the Weasley red anymore but a dark red hue with highlights. It's straight but has curls at the end, reaching her back. She had bangs that accentuated her beautiful big brown eyes, making it seem like she's mysteriously hiding the gleam and sparkle it exudes.

Her freckles are spreaded perfectly on her adorable buttoned nose. And her lips are just luscious. And that smile...oh that smile. It exudes her best feature, her personality.

But Ginny keeps her feet on the ground. She knows she's gorgeous alright, but she doesn't want to be judged on that alone. She looks within a person and prefers the wit and the persona instead of the face. Yep, she's one girl you'd love to hate, girlfriend you'll do anything to have, a daughter you can be proud of, a student you'd love to teach, and a bestfriend you'd like to have.

"Hmmmm..." Ginny sighed as she placed herself on her favorite tree, sitting on her mat with an apple in one hand and a book on the other. She wasn't aware that someone was watching her from behind, admiring the radiant beauty of hers, reflected by the sun.

She was reading a romance novel (Yep, she's cheesy and mushy like me) and just as the princess and her lover was about to kiss....

"Hem,hem" She immediately shut her book and met emerald eyes. She was completely shocked and continued to stare at him.

"Hem, hem, excuse me, Miss, but did you happen to see a stunning young woman with red hair, brown eyes, about 5'7? I happen to miss her at breakfast today." Harry said as he smirked at her bemused expression.

"Well, kind sir, I think she just forgot that you were coming and headed to her favorite tree with her favorite book, eating her favorite fruit." Ginny said politely and sent one of her killer smiles to Harry.

"Oh, is that so?" Sending Ginny her famous sexy grin. "Well, could you please tell her that I felt so poignant at breakfast because I was expecting to see her grace me with her beauty. Do tell her that when you see her, Miss." Said Harry who was enjoying the state of being close to this pretty girl.

"Oh, don't worry Harry, I'll tell her!" She winked. And with that she rose, dropped the book and the apple and hugged Harry very tight.

Harry hugged her back and gripped her waist so that he could swing her around. "I missed you, Gin" he said as he buried his face on her hair, smelling the familiar sweet pea and vanilla.

"I missed you too, Harry." Ginny said as she pulled back to look at his face. God, he was so handsome. He's hair is as messy as ever, he's about 5'11 and is also muscular like Ron. He's wearing jeans, white sneakers and a plain black shirt that hugged his body. He's eyes always sparkle when he sees her.

Just as they were about to lose themselves in one another.... "Hem, hem" And they both let go, disappointed, face flushed as they looked at a perplexed-looking Ron.

"Mate, do you always greet and welcome everyone like that or is Ginny just something extra?" Ron smirked at the blushing faces of Harry and Ginny.

"Oh, Ron. I'd like to give you a my greeting hug too but Hermione might freak out." Now it was Ron's turn to blush.

Ginny laughed at her brother's face and said "Don't worry, Ronniekins... only 48 hours, 35 mins and 678 seconds left till you see her, Ya, I heard you talking to the mirror this morning." Ginny smiled at her brother.

"HA. Ha.ha. very funny Gin, but I thought she was coming today. Damn those relatives of her... I mean, I uh, I---"

"Don't worry, Ron, didn't hear a thing." Said Harry as they all heard Molly call them.

"Kids... Bill's here!" she shouted. Bill was going to be spending summer there at the Burrow with Fleur.

Ron quickly ran and said over his shoulder "Come on you guys, I wonder what Bill got me... I hope it's a broom!" He shouted excitedly.

Harry and Ginny were left alone. Harry with his hands on his pocket and Ginny looking at the floor, they faced each other and said together—

"SO"- they both laughed

"YOU FIRST" they both said, and laughed again, then Harry said

"Ladies, first" He bent down as courtesy. Ginny laughed and also bowed.

"Why, thank you Sir, I suppose we should go inside now..." Ginny said but not moving.

"yeah, I suppose we should" Harry replied breathlessly, admiring Ginny and their romantic background. They were standing in front of Ginny's favorite tree and the sun was rising up and the rays reflected Ginny's gorgeous features.

They were again caught up with each other and didn't seem to exert an effort to move while....

"OI! Ginny Harry sitting in a tree... K-i-s-s-i-n-g!!!hahaha...." Fred and George snickered.

They both blushed and headed towards the house. But their thoughts remained on the beautiful and almost-perfect sunrise. Yep, it's gonna be an interesting summer.
