Chapter 6
Who's
that? I asked myself staring at the guy who had helped Ginny up. I'd
seen him walking with her in the halls to each class. As I watched
him brush her off, my heart sank. Was he her, you know, boyfriend? I
almost laughed at this thought. He was a sixth year. No way. But I
was still a little nervous as he put his hand on her shoulder and
glared at me. Ginny whispered something to the boy and he walked
away. Soon the crowd departed and Ginny and I started walking out to
the lake. Ginny was suddenly quiet. I guessed she just realized what
I had said.
"So...You like me?" Ginny asked.
"Yeah," I
replied.
"When did you realize you did?" She asked me.
"I...I
don't know. I guess I've known for awhile, I just didn't know
what it meant exactly," I replied, taking a seat by a tree by the
lake.
"Well, I still like you," Ginny stated, turning red.
"I
guess we like each other then," I smiled at her.
"So? Does
this mean we're going out?" She asked me.
"That's what it
means," I smiled at her. I patted my lap and she cautiously sat on
me(in his lap sickos). We sat there looking at the lake for a long
time.
I couldn't believe what had just happened. Harry and
I were going out. I was Harry's girlfriend. Harry was my boyfriend.
Harry and I were an item, a couple. No matter how I put it, I liked
the sound of it.
I looked up at him, thinking how lucky I was.
Harry noticed me looking, lifted my chin, and kissed me. A real kiss.
It wasn't a peck. Oh no. not a peck. Harry was kissing me! And for
once in my entire life, everything felt right.
