Chapter 2 - Ginny comes to see Harry
He awoke next morning to the sound of something or rather someone falling in his room. He rolled over and looked over the side of the bed to realise it was Ginny.
She lay on the floor after coming out of the fireplace. He quickly got out of the bed, he offered a hand to help Ginny up. She slowly but surely got up to notice that Harry was only wearing his boxers. She blushed beet as well as looking away, only for Harry to realise what was wrong only for him to receive warm red cheeks. He approached his chair whilst grabbing a pair of trousers pulling them on and a t-shirt as well. Harry looked up to meet Ginny's chocolate brown eyes, but as soon as she knew he was looking at her she dropped her glance.
"So?" Ginny said but was still blushing slightly from before.
"Well….er…." Harry stumbled, though he was unsure as to why because he had rehearsed this and knew what he had to say, he knew it word for word only when it came to actually revealing his feelings, well…. that was a different story altogether. He blushed nevertheless continued, "Well, I don't know if what I am going to say will sound silly or if you will feel the same way. I don't even know where to begin…. well I do but its hard."
Ginny thought about what it could be. When she realised Harry was waiting for a response she said, "Well shoot, try me."
"Okay, but promise me you wont laugh?"
"I wont I promise," she touched his hand in reassurance, surprisingly Harry held her hand. (This was a shock for Ginny but she was enjoying it much to her surprise.) He got up off the bed and lifted the chair and set it in front of Ginny. He sat down so he could look at her properly, face to face. He paused for a moment then took both of Ginny's hands into his hands.
"Ginny, I …um.." he stumbled yet again, "Lately, well not just lately, for a long time really. Ginny I have had feelings for you." the last three words gradually got quieter until they were a barely audible whisper. Then all of a sudden Harry blurted out, "Ginny I love you" now this time these words were loud and clear. He looked up at Ginny to see a tear trickle down her face. He lifted a hand and gently removed the tear with his thumb. He said, "Oh Ginny don't cry."
She looked up into his amazing emerald eyes, she paused then said, "You don't know how long I have waited to hear you say that," she pulled him into a hug, while she whispered, "I have loved you since that day I first laid my eyes on you! I still do but even more than I ever did."
Now Harry had a tear in his eye, many times he had thought of the day when he told Ginny of is feelings only to discover it was a million times better than he had imagined! He had Ginny at arms length, he looked into her chocolate brown eyes, they were full of happy tears though Ginny blinked them back. He asked, "Will you go out with me."
"YES!!!! Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes," she screamed, "Of course I will!"
Ginny stood up, she was about to leave when Harry pulled her into a hug. It felt so nice to be in his arms, they fitted together perfectly. Ginny looked up to Harry and as she did so he leaned down to give her a kiss. This startled Ginny but she returned the kiss as the feeling she got from such a simple thing was so amazing. They stayed kissing for quite sometime when "BOY!! GET DOWN HERE! WHAT TIME OF THE DAY DO YOU CALL THIS! SLEEP ALL DAY, YOUTH OF TODAY!"
At this Ginny and Harry sprung apart as if they were scolded. Both having a terrified look on their faces as they heard Vernon still swearing and now coming up the stairs.
"Im coming Uncle Vernon. Im getting dressed and I would rather you not come in as I have basically no clothes on." At this both Harry and Ginny blushed. She gave him one last kiss on the lips, a hug then she stepped back and said, "By the way mum was saying that later someone could come and get you to bring you back to the Burrow. If you're lucky I will be that person." With that she turned and jumped into the fire shouting 'The Burrow' and she was gone. But Harry could have swore just before she went he got a wink.
Meanwhile Uncle Vernon was approaching the door of Harry's bedroom, he paused as he heard voices. He went up to the door, hesitating before barging in. Harry jumped and at the same time turning to see his uncle. "BOY WHAT ARE YOU DOING. WHO WAS HERE? WHO WERE YOU TALKING TO?" lowering his voice he said, "I will NOT have your folk in MY house is that clear?"
"Crystal" Harry said this with a tone of sarcasm. Which his uncle failed to pick up.
Vernon turned to leave while muttering, "What does he think he is doing bringing his bloody people into my house. Never will he again." And with that he shut the door with rather a loud bang. Harry realised something as he went over to Hedwig. He forgot to tell Ginny not to tell anyone yet as he would rather be there. He quickly went to his desk, found a quill, ink and parchment. He quickly scrawled the letter as he knew his uncle and aunt were waiting for him make an appearance. The letter was short and said :
Dearest Ginny,
Remember mum's the word (this means don't say anything yet). Please wait until I get there then if your brothers want they can beat me up. (Don't you dare laugh at that! Well you can if you want Im sorta laughing but altogether scared of your brothers.)
Hope to see you soon
lots of love
Harry
xoxox
P.S. Can you come at 2 to pick me up? And only you? Wink Wink
Harry tied the letter to Hedwig, opened the window and let her fly out. Harry groaned as he walked downstairs as he heard his uncle and aunt discussing how Harry had no respect, but not even this could dampen Harry's spirits as he had Ginny; He felt like the luckiest guy ever!!
