Affection Increasing

Harry knelt gripped the mop tightly as he began to clean the hard, stone floor. Snape's room was a mess, cluttered with all sorts of debris and spilled potions and dirty floors, It wouldn't be a wonder if they were there all night.

"So, what did you do to get here?" Harry asked Ginny as he took a turn with mopping as she scrubbed the floor below him.

"Oh I was talking to Luna when he was giving us instructions. You know? And my potion turned out bright green and it was supposed to be a bluish, milky gray. Oh well, this isn't so bad is it. I have to admit," She said shyly, "I'm very glad your here."

Harry's stomach did a flip and he walked nearer to where she was scrubbing. Her crisp red locks flowing to the motion of her hand; focusing so hard and scrubbing so intensely, Harry almost fell when she yelled,

"Damn this part is tough," Ginny said working really hard to scrub off something stuck to the ground. Harry knelt down beside her and she hardly noticed. He hesitated at first and then rested his hand on top of hers which was still grasping the rag. He felt her tense up and flush to the color of her hair and he said, "Here let me help you. Why don't you do It more like this:" Harry showed her a circle movement rather then back and forth. Then they stopped.

Ginny looked up at him, deep into his crisp emerald green eyes. Harry could see she was nervous because her lip was twitching. Harry was nervous too but excited. His heart was racing so fast he almost couldn't keep up with it. They scooted closer to each other causing Harry's knee to go between her leg and her leg stretched straight out. she is so beautiful! Harry thought to himself. I think I love this girl. He thought again.

Before they knew it their lips were collided together and they found each other's necks and faces to stroke even with their eyes closed. Harry never felt a kiss like this before; never in his entire life had he experienced so much passion and true love. So this is what Hermione and Ron ... his mind was cut off as Ginny broke away from the kiss and searched his eyes for a sign. A sign of how this came to be. Harry didn't know what to look like so he pushed her down gently and kissed her passionately and he ran his fingers up and down her arm making her shiver.

Harry broke away, still leaning over her and whispered, "Ginny I love you." Into her ear. She simply stared at his face for a second to long and then she stood up moving away from him and wiped the dust off her body from the ground.

Harry was confused, shouldn't he have said that? She had been so sweet and caring and loving before; looking into his eyes, and finally when he gets the courage to speak up, she turns away.

"Come on I think we're done in here. Let's go." Ginny murmured without looking at him.
