Chapter Eight: Tree Love Prt 2

Once he reached her, he sat on the branch next to it, "lovely view up here."

"I know," Ginny, said focusing on the sunset.

Harry looked at her and opened his mouth to say something but he couldn't. Sure, he never wanted to hurt her. But he didn't even like Parvati…but he wasn't quite sure if he were to say something about it he might land on the ground below, "you alright?"

"Peachy," she muttered willing him to go away.

"Did Malfoy do something to you?" He asked darkly.

She turned to him her eyes in anger, "look Harry," she said, "as much as I like your concern about me I honestly think someone else is missing you at dinner."

Harry gritted his teeth, "why would it matter?" He asked his eyes staring darkly at her before he muttered softly, "I love you, Ginny," he said not moving an inch of his body, "you know I do."

Ginny stared at him before looking away, "I hate this," she said just as softly, "I don't want to be with Malfoy." Harry looked at her his eyes glimmered hope, "I want to be with you, honest," Ginny said her head low, "but I can't, you know I can't."

Harry took her hand and tugged it slightly, "sit with me." She smiled and climbed to his branch and sat in his arms. Soon enough a thought occurred in his mind, "the branch won't fall will it?"

Ginny shook her head, "mum charmed it to hold someone as big as Hagrid," Ginny giggled.

Harry smiled and nuzzled into her hair, "I miss your laugh around me," he murmured into her hair before kissing her head.

"I miss being this close to you," she whispered leaning into him with her eyes closed.

"I do too," he said holding her more closer, "I don't ever want to lose you," he said his voice wavered, "and," he added more serious, "I'd never fall in love with someone other then you."

She looked up at him and smiled, "I guess I always knew," she said, "I'm sorry I thought there was something between you and Parvati."

"Don't be," he said leaning over and kissing her cheek, "I even thought there was something between you and Malfoy," Harry said chuckling softly against her ear.

She shifted so she was fully sideways to him so she'd have a better look at his face, "Harry," she said softly before closing her eyes and placing her forehead against his.

"Yes?" He asked breathing in her scent.

"I love you," she said opening her eyes and staring into the green depth of them.

He smiled his eyes watered slightly, "I love you so much," he said holding her to him.

She held onto him just as tight not able to say anything anymore only wishing that nothing could pull them apart again…
