Somebody Like You

Chapter Seven: An Owl, A Visit, And So Many Questions

"Ron called, there's no quidditch for me today, the whole field's drenched. I'll be here all day if you need me."

Harry helped Ginny get her coat on, though struggling quite a bit, because Ginny was running all over.

"Ok. Oh, I'm gonna be SO late! Oh, they're going to KILL me…or it could be worse, they could FIRE me! Oh, Harry!!!" Ginny said, rushing to the corner to get her umbrella. Harry finally managed to get the coat on Ginny, and immediately after it was on, she began rushing around.

"Why don't you just apparate?" Harry asked her. "BECAUSE Harry, this is a muggle neighborhood! You never know who's watching!"

"Whatever." Harry said, rolling his eyes, though laughing silently to himself.

"I don't see what's so funny about that…it's true! Muggles are nosey! Oh, Harry, my hair's gonna be all messed up! What am I gonna do? I KNEW this whole job wouldn't work! What if I get fir-"

"VIRGINIA!" Came Harry's voice from behind her. "WHAT? And PLEASE don't use that name!" She said exasperatedly, becoming slightly annoyed. Harry put his hand on her cheek and rubbed it with his tumb. "You'll be fine, love. You're hair looks beautiful. And don't worry, I guarantee you won't get fired. Have a good day at work. I love you." He said. Ginny smiled. "Thanks darlin'. You just made my day. I love you too." She took his hand and kissed him. She was so lost in the kiss that she forgot about work.

"Oh shit! Gotta run. But really, I don't want to. We'll make up for this, I PROMISE you! I Love you!" She called, rushing out the door that Harry opened for her, and opening her umbrella.

"Love you too." Harry called after her. He shut the door and walked to the couch, where he sat down and picked up one of Ginny's Witch Weekly magazines.

"That's my girl." Harry said to himself. He shook his head and laughed. But he couldn't help but feel proud of her. She really knew what she was doing. That was just another thing he loved so much about her.

"So, Hedwig…what should we do today?" Harry asked his owl. Hedwig hooted happily. Harry looked at the clock, which read 12:00.

"Why don't I go visit Ginny? The rain stopped, so I might as well take the car. Besides, it'll be nice to walk around Diagon Alley again. What do you say?" Harry said to his owl. Again, Hedwig hooted. Harry pulled on his sweatshirt, grabbed his keys off of Ginny's nightstand, and headed out the door. But before he could open his car door, a miniscule owl came swooping down toward him at a frightening speed. Harry recognized it right away as Pigwidgeon. He took the letter from Pig. Pig sped off as Harry opened the letter.

Dear Harry,

I'm SO sorry to interrupt whatever you're doing…but I have to ask you something. My mum invited the whole family to dinner tonight. Need I say more? Well, write me back soon; it's getting quite boring, yet quite busy at work….give me something to do! Thanks! I love you more than anything, darlin'! Ginny (Gin )

P.S. Like I said…I PROMISE I'll make this morning up to you. I LOVE YOU and ALWAYS remember that! I miss you baby!

Harry smiled gently and laughed. Of course he wanted to go! He hadn't seen the Weasleys for SO long. He smiled as he got into the car, and drove off downtown to the entrance to Diagon Alley.

"YES, ma'am, for the third time, THEY…DO…COME…IN…EMRALD! Why-don't-you-go-and-see-Victoria. She'll- help-you." Ginny said, becoming rather annoyed as she TRIED to talk to a tiny old witch. The witch nodded, and headed off to one of Ginny's work members. Ginny giggled to herself as she rolled her eyes.

She headed off to her office, but was stopped by somebody placing their hands over her eyes.

"Hey Mione." Ginny said. The person removed their hands from her eyes. Ginny turned around to see Harry stading behind her.

"Gee…I'm glad I have the 'feminine' touch. How are you my Ginny?" Harry laughed as he touched his lips to Ginny's. Ginny smiled, rolled her eyes, and hit Harry's stomach playfully.

"Sorry. Mi used to do that to me all the time, so I figured it was her. Anyway…what brings you here, oh Mr. Love-Of-My-Life? It's great to see you." She said, getting on tiptoe to kiss his lips sofly. "I was bored, then you're little spastic owl delivered a letter, so I decided to come and visit you, oh Miss Love-Of-My-Life. I missed you too." Harry answered, lowering his head to kiss her back.

Both blushed when the whole store began applauding. Ginny took Harry's hand and lead him to her office. Once inside, she shut the door immediately.

"So what have you been up to?" Harry asked, his arms around her waist, while her hands rested on his chest.

"Just showing some deaf old hag some robes." Ginny said, rolling her eyes. "Now is THAT any way to treat a customer? I thought I'd taught you better, Virginia." Harry said. Ginny rolled her eyes and laughed. "Shut the hell up with that name and kiss me." Ginny said. Harry laughed. He kissed her ever so softly.

"I'm glad you're here." She said, her fingertips teasing his lips. "I'm glad I'm here too." Harry said, returning the favor by playfully kissing each of her fingertips. She laughed. "Now Mr. Potter, in my contract it says that there is to be absolutely NO sexuality in this building." She said, grinning. Harry raised his eyebrows. "Sexuality? What, may I ask, is so sexual about this conversation?" He asked, a look of mock seriousness on his face. Ginny laughed. "I don't know…but if we continue on this way….well…..let's just say….we don't want to take the risk if I want to keep my job. And I TOLD you I'd make it up to you tonight." She teased and winked. Harry's eyes widened in mock shock. "Virginia…you have a VERY dirty mind! Now WHERE did you get these ideas?"

"Harry…I'm a teenage girl. I get around. Girls talk, Harry James Potter. And DON'T YOU USE THAT NAME!" She said, moving her eyebrows up and down, then poking his chest firmly but playfully. Harry laughed. "Oh Ha Ha. But Ginny, we'll be at your parents tonight, although I suppose we can make up for it tonight before I leave." He said, and took her into a deep kiss. Ginny frowned.

"Harry," She asked quietly as she felt her heart drop in sadness. Harry would be leaving tonight.

"Mmm?" He answered. Ginny looked into his eyes. "I don't want you to leave." She said. Harry frowned. "I don't want to leave either, but Ginny, we'll see each other just as much, we're not far from each other! I can apparate anytime! So can you!" He said. Ginny smiled slightly. "I suppose so. It just won't be the same." He smiled and kissed her nose before kissing her lips.

She pulled away just barely and began to playfully bite his lower lip. He smiled. "I love you Gin-…" But before he could finish, Ginny put her index finger to his lips to shush him, and began to kiss him again. "I love you too Harry James Potter, and I will NEVER leave you." She said through the kiss. Harry nodded. Her fingers were running through his silky black hair.

And at this moment…Harry decided that he would be with Ginny forever. He had known it before…but it was never as clear as now. So many questions popped into his head. Did she love him as much as he loved her? Is it too soon?

He started to think about taking the next big step…
