Somebody Like You

Chapter Five: The Way You Look Tonight

"God I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed now. If you need anything, just tell me. Love you." Ginny yawned. Harry nodded. "Alright. Love you too." He kissed her quickly and she went to her room, but stopped, then went back to Harry's room where they had been lounging around, still talking.

It had been two weeks since the two had been together, and Harry returned tonight. They decided that it would be ok for Harry to stay in the guestroom for the night.

"And Harry…if you get lonely, let me know. I'm here." She smiled, though she knew she was saying that more for herself, because SHE was the one that felt lonely without him. Already it was as though he was the air she breathed.

Harry smiled. "Alright, I will. I think I'll be fine though. Thanks. Goodnight love." She nodded and blew him a kiss. He clasped his hand to the air as if he caught the kiss. She giggled and headed to her room to get changed.

Once she was done changing, Ginny looked at the clock. 11:34. She yawned and went to the kitchen to get some water. It was another hot summer night, so she just had her thin nightgown on…forgetting that she had somebody else in the house. She walked into the kitchen, her eyes half shut, and opened the refrigerator.

"You look nice." Came a voice from behind her. She jumped. "JESUS HARRY, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" She gasped. She looked down to what he meant when he said that. She lifted her head in horror. "Oh…Shit. I am SO sorry, Harry. I forgot you were here!" She said, becoming very uncomfortable. He laughed, walked up to her, and put his hands on her waist as he looked her in the eyes. "It's ok! You look beautiful." He said. She smiled. "Aww…thanks, Harry. You're so sweet!" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "You know what's missing?" She asked him. "What?"

"This." She took her wand out of her pocket, one arm still around Harry, and with a wave, music started to play. The song was called 'The Way You Look Tonight' By Elton John. She put her other arm back around his neck, and they slowly began swaying to the music. Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder. Harry kissed her forehead. "I want to be with you forever." Ginny whispered to Harry. "I'm not going anywhere." Ginny nodded. That was all she needed to hear.

And I can't explain

But there's something about the way

You look tonight

Takes my breath away….

Ginny looked up, Harry looked down. She smiled as he kissed her. "How did you get so tall in such a short time?" She asked. "I don't know…why do you ask?" He asked, an eyebrow raised. "Well…seeing as you practically have to bend down to kiss me…but still…the tall look fits you. It's somewhat sexy." She smiled, though a blush creeped up her face. She really hadn't meant for that to come out.

Harry laughed and blushed at the same time. "I'm sexy? Well I appreciate that…but Gin, hun…I don't think that I've grown…I think you've shrunk." Her eyes narrowed and she hit him playfully. "Funny. But honey…am I REALLY short?" She asked, a look of mock sadness on her face. He laughed and moved a stray strand of hair out of her face. "No, you're not. Well…you ARE short, but I like you just the way you are. In fact…I wouldn't have it any other way." She smiled. She got on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. "Thanks. I bet your parents are very happy at how sweet you are right now." Ginny said. At the mention of his parents, Harry's eyes glazed over a slight bit. Ginny got a look of concern on her face. "I hope they are." Harry said. "They are sweetie, they are." She hugged him tightly as the music slowly died away. "Are you ok for now?" She asked. He smiled. "I'm fine. See you in the morning. I love you." She kissed him quickly. "I love you too. Sleep well. Don't get too lonely!" She teased. "I won't. See you tomorrow."

Harry got into his bed and slowly began to drift off to sleep. Then something in the distance was knocking. He could hear it getting louder. He opened his eyes to see someone standing at the door. "Ginny?" He whispered.

"I think I'm lonely." Came Ginny's voice. Harry smiled softly…yet a bit of concern on his face. "Come in, hun." He said. She walked slowly over. He stood up and hugged her. "I'm sorry I woke you up." She said. "No, no, not at all. Is everything ok?" He asked. Ginny nodded. "Fine. I just missed you." She said. He nodded. "Ok. Come on." He took her hand, "You sleep here tonight." He undid the other side of her bed. "Harry…I don't want to interfere…"

"Interfere with what, my sleeping? It's fine, Ginny." Ginny nodded. "Are you sure, Harry? Because I REALLY don't mi-" But before she could finish, Harry too her into a kiss. He pulled away slowly. "It's fine, Ginny. Goodnight." He got under the covers. Ginny got under the covers. "Besides, I was getting lonely too." He said. "Well I'm here now." She said. He smiled. "Good." She moved in close to Harry, and Harry placed a protecting, warm, loving arm around her waist.

"I love you." He said. "I love you too."
