True Love Never Stays Hidden
Chapter Two – On Fire

Silence ran through the room. The silence from their peers was really what brought Harry and Hermione's attention. Harry glanced over at Hermione and she looked at him with a startled expression on her face. She looked at Ron then and muttered, "Liesendio!"

Ron came out of his trance with only a vague memory of what had happened. He glanced at all the people staring at him and paled. "What did I say?" he said, obviously worried.

Hermione was in shock. She stared at Ron astounded. Harry was astounded. He'd never thought that Ginny would have asked that question and he was beginning to feel the guilt coming on. Damn, he thought to himself.

An awkward silence reigned throughout the room, centering on the red-haired boy who was beginning to guess something of what he had said from the stare Hermione was giving him and a bright red blush was creeping up his face.

Harry broke the silence by saying, "Ok then. The coast is clear so you lot can go." He motioned to the room at large and they began trickling out, giggles and whispers among them. A few gave Ron their sympathy but Ron appeared to be frozen in place.

His gaze had dropped to the floor when Harry had started talking, appearing to have just noticed that he was staring. Hermione was still looking at him with shock apparent on her face.

At last only Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny were left in the room. Ginny had turned scarlet and was looking at her brother in pain. "I'm so sorry Ron!" she exclaimed, "Really! I am!"

Hermione seemed to finally let out her breath at this. She collapsed on to a red couch covered in hearts that no one had noticed in the corner of the room and Ron sighed as he sat down next to her.

Both of Harry's friends looked up at him and Harry said, "Well I've got to finish a bit of homework before bed so I'll be in the library if either of you need me."

Harry took Ginny's arm to pull her out of the room and a tingle went up his own arm at her touch. He glanced at his best-friend's little sister strangely. Ginny had grown up over the summer. She was still slim and petite but had many more curves than she'd had last year. Her long red hair reached to the small of her back and was thicker than last year. It was slightly wavy and so beautiful.

Wait, Harry thought to himself, I'm notthinking this about Ginny! Am I?

He was shocked to find himself in front of the library. He stepped in and slumped into a chair still holding Ginny's arm.

"Uh, Harry?" Ginny said.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"Could you let go of my arm?"

"Oh sorry Ginny! I forgot!" Ginny was standing in front of Harry with her arm still in his hand. Harry dropped his hand and Ginny sat in one of the chairs as well. They sat in companionable silence for a while before Harry groaned and said, "Oh god. It's entirely my fault! I knew that Ron liked Hermione and I still let you interrogate him."

Ginny looked at Harry simply. Harry had been her crush since she was eight and had seen a picture of him in the Daily Prophet. The feeling had only deepened when she had met him. He was so . . . words failed to describe him.

"Harry, it's not your fault. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine but even if it is, it will be good for their relationship. Really both of them have the hugest crushes on each other but they refuse to say it for the sake of their 'friendship'"

Harry looked away. Those eyes were so enchanting. He could get lost in their dark depths. Swirling away in them forever. "It is my fault. God, Ron is going to kill me."

"No he won't Harry. He'll thank you. True love shouldn't stay hidden." Ginny looked back at what she had said. True love shouldn't stay hidden. She found herself leaning in toward him. Forgetting everything in her surroundings, Ginny lost herself in his dark emerald eyes.

Closer and closer and then, her lips brushed his and a shock went through her body. It was like she was on fire except so much more pleasant than that. A number of clichés came to her mind at his kiss but none of them fit the intensity of what she was feeling. She couldn't even remember where she was, it was like all feeling had been taken out of the rest of her body and centered on his lips. Soft, caressing lips. And the worst of it was that he wasn't even kissing her that passionately but it was still enough to make her weak.

Harry had not even noticed when she moved in to kiss him. Suddenly her lips were on his and he wasn't complaining. Soft, full lips. She was so beautiful. He forgot his worries about Ron and his worries about all the homework he had to do. Hell he even forgot about the threat of Voldemort for a time while he lost himself in kissing her.

Suddenly a voice resounded around the room. Madame Pince, the librarian was yelling to the room that the library was closing. The couple broke apart, embarrassed. Ginny blushed hotly and said, "Well I'll see you Harry."

She ran off to the dormitories while Harry slowly picked up his books while reliving that kiss. He reflected on his thoughts of Ginny and then the thing she had said right before she'd kissed him. True love shouldn't stay hidden. Harry wasn't quite sure how he'd managed to do it but he had hidden his true feelings for Ginny from even himself. He loved her. Her hair, smile, eyes, personality, kiss, he adored them all. He smiled at that last thought. Well he did love her kiss he thought to himself.

Harry thought back of Ron and Hermione. I do hope their evening was as productive as ours. With that, he climbed up to his dormitory.
