Hiya. I'm really getting into this story now. I'm glad you all like it so
much. I don't know what I'd do with out ff.net. I come on here when I'm
taking a break from homework. It really helps me to forget all the trouble
that school is because I just love writing these stories, especially if you
guys like them too. In this chapter we find out what Harry's present is.
Enjoy.
Luv Sexy Seeker.

CHAPTER 3
Ginny stormed out into the snow. A gush of ice cold wind hit her face and as she stomped down the steps, she pulled he cloak tighter around herself to conserve the warmth. She tears rolling down her cheeks, making them even colder than the rest of her face. She stopped for a second and stared around her. The day had gotten colder and so more people had gone back to the castle, to the warmth of the fires in their common rooms. Even so, there were a couple of groups still playing in the snow.
Ginny decided to walk down to the lake. As she walked she left a trail of footprints getting deeper in the snow the further she went. She also had to dodge a few stray flying snowballs. "SORRY!" the person who threw the ball had shouted, but Ginny made no recollection of hearing them.
"GINNY! WAIT - GINNY!" She heard Harry calling to her but she ignored him and ran faster. She knew though that he wouldn't leave her. When she arrived at the edge of the ice-capped lake, her hair had changed from red to snow-white. If it weren't for the snow, she surely would have sat down.
Harry caught up to her just as she reached the lake. She let out a heavy sob and he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his chest. Ginny didn't want sympathy so she pushed him away and started walking away again.
"Ginny, don't. Talk to me." Harry pulled her towards him again, but not into a hug. He firmly held the top of her arms to stop her from getting away and struggling. "Why does this bother you so much? I thought you'd be happy for them. What's so wrong about it?"
Ginny sobbed aloud again, tears now freely falling down her face. "I don't know. Harry, I don't know why I hate them so much for doing this. If they had done it any other day I would be happy but - I just -" Ginny couldn't carry on. She sobbed into Harry's chest.
"Come with me." Harry began to lead her somewhere.
"I don't want to go and see Ron and Hermione yet. I'd be so embarrassed." Ginny held back.
"We're not going to see Ron and Hermione. I was going to give you your birthday present." Harry replied, looked strangely at her, laughing.
"Oh. That's okay then. Let's go." She began to drag him toward Hagrids hut. He walked slowly beside her, holding her hand. Her hand felt at home only when it was within someone else's. She just wasn't sure if tat someone else was anyone, or just Harry.
They arrived at Hagrid's hut in no time, dodging more snowballs on the way. Harry stepped up to knock on the door and stepped back to the ground to avoid being hit by the out swing of it.
"I hope you like what I got you." Harry said after a few seconds silence. Hagrid still hadn't answered their knock after a few minutes so Harry went to knock once more. This time he noticed a note that had been rolled up and stuck in the keyhole. "Hey, what's this?" He said. Harry pulled the note out and unrolled it.
"I don't know. Read it maybe." Ginny replied sarcastically.
"All right. No need to get sarcastic." Harry cleared his throat and read aloud to Ginny. "Dear Harry, I had to go into the . . . forest - I can't read his writing very well - and I wasn't sure what time you were bringing the birthday girl for her gorgeous kit - opps, mustn't give that away - for her present. I left the key under the loose step - aha, here it is." He fished around under the step and produced a large rusting key in his hand. "I put the box containing the - present - on the table. Say happy birthday to Ginny for me. From Hagrid." As he opened the door, he said, "Hi Ginny, I'm Hagrid. Happy Birthday. Come and get your present." He held the door open and waved her inside as she giggled at him.
Ginny rushed over to the table that had a cardboard box a top it. Harry pulled her back. "Hey. I want my present." She frowned at him.
"In a minute. Sit down and let me bring it to you." She sat down on the large by the unlit fire, narrowing her eyes at him. Harry turned around and in his hands he held a plate of cauldron cakes. "The other note said that Hagrid was sorry but he didn't have time to make a proper birthday cake for you and you'd better come and see him tomorrow when he is back from the forest. Um, we should take these with us. We won't be able to eat them straight off."
Ginny giggled again. "Okay. Ron and Hermione ca have them." Harry laughed at her. "Now, PRESENT!" she yelled.
Harry turned again and reached carefully into the box. "Ron told me ages ago, I think it was in second year, during the chamber thing, that you liked cats." He turned to face her and struggling in his arms was a tiny, smoky grey kitten.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: Hey. Did you like it? I said at the end of the first chapter that I got the idea for the present from what my boyfriend gave me this year. It was a tiny tabby kitten. I called her Biscuit. She is the sweetest cat in the whole world and she has taken an incredible liking to my dad's chin.
I was totally taken by the idea of Ginny having a kitten and I thought that it would be a great present for Harry to get her because it's quite personal. I haven't yet written the next chapter but I have an idea of how Ginny is going to react. (I had written these three chapters before I posted them up.)
In the next chapter, it will just have Ginny and Harry in Hagrid's hut and then for chapter 5 I will take them back to Ron and Hermione for them to see the kitten. I also would like some name ideas for Ginny's kitten if you are reviewing (which you will be) because I'm hopeless at making up names.
You only have one more thing to do right now and that is REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
