From Love to Hate, to Back Again

"Ginny!" Harry Potter called out to his friend Ginny Weasley

"What Potter?" she asked clearly still annoyed at him for the comment he had made earlier today

"Please stop," he said jogging after her

"For the last time what do you want!" she said sighing, clearly annoyed.

Ginny leant against the dark stone wall watching him approach fire blazing in her eyes. She was thoroughly annoyed with Harry; he had made a smart aleck remark trying to impress some girl. Pity the remark had come at her expense. It also didn't help that, although she continuously denied the fact that she was in love with Harry; she was. Deeply.

Harry approached Ginny carefully hoping that she wouldn't try to slap him…again.

He was truly sorry about what he had said; he had to make Ginny understand that.

Harry was finding it hard to keep focus on his words. He loved it when Ginny was angry, she was just so beautiful.

"Ginny, I'm sorry."

"Yeah I'm sure" she replied bluntly

Harry rolled his eyes expecting that answer. A small smile tugged at his lips. He had decided what he was going to do.

As she yelled at him he moved closer slowly, she was so busy yelling at him that she didn't back up like she usually did when he got close to her.

Ginny stopped at the look in Harry's eyes.

"Wh- what are you doing?" she questioned

A small chuckle escaped his lips but no reply was given.

Ginny started to back up realizing how close she had let Harry get to her.

Her back hit the wall behind her. Harry was grinning so broadly now that it was possible that his face might crack. Ginny had realized that Harry had cornered her although she still had no idea why.

"Ginny," Harry said staring deep into her eyes with his stunning emerald green ones, "I'm sorry…I shouldn't have said what I did. There's something I want to tell you. Ginny…"

"What," she whispered quietly.

Harry broke the gaze momentarily to look down at Ginny's lips.

Soft, pink and full. How he had longed to kiss those lips.

She lifted her lips upwards towards his.

Taking the move as permission he lowered his lips down to hers. Kissing her deeply with all the passion he had for her and all the sorrow and regret-fullness of making her look bad.

Her lips parted and his tongue glided across her soft lips entering her mouth. Their tongues explored each other's mouths, mapping every corner over and over again. Eventually they broke apart for need of air.

Harry touched their foreheads together and once again stared deep into her eyes.

"I love you," he whispered

Harry once again lowered his lips to hers but this time just brushed his lips across hers, teasing her. He smiled, walked backwards a few steps then turned and walked away.

Ginny was to shocked to move. He had kissed her! Harry Potter, most popular boy in school had kissed her! And further more he had said he loved her and meant it.

She suddenly realized that he had gone.

"Oh fuck," she whispered out loud.

Ginny took off at a run after Harry calling out to him.

Harry heard Ginny coming he turned from his friend he had been speaking to smiling towards the direction he knew she was coming from.

Ginny burst around the corner coming into view, her hair completely down now, from Harry's wandering hands, was flying out behind her.

She stopped right in front of him.

"Harry…" she looked up in to his eyes, "I love you too!"

He opened her arms to her and she willingly stepped into them leaning up for a kiss once again. This time filled with every last inch of happiness and passion they held.
