Here's the second chapter! And I have nothing else to say, so enjoy!
--------------------------------------
Ginny rolled over in her bed and squinted in the bright sunlight shining through her window.
Why did I leave my curtains open again? Ginny groaned inwardly as she pulled her pillow over her face, trying to block the brilliant rays. She was just drifting back to sleep when a memory wafted through her mind.
Ginny sat straight up. How could she have forgotten? A tingling warmth spread from her toes to the top of her head as she recalled in full what had happened the night before. Wrapping her arms around her knees, Ginny grinned happily, still hardly believing what she knew to be true.
She was Harry Potter's girlfriend!
Resisting the urge to squeal like a little girl, Ginny quickly climbed out of bed and headed for the bathroom. None of her roommates were up yet, as it was barely after sunrise.
After she came back from showering, Ginny took a bit more time deciding what to wear than she usually did. When she was finally dressed, her roommates had already begun to wake up.
"Ginny?" Samantha Doo said sleepily, sticking her blond head out from behind her hangings. "What are you doing up so early?"
Ginny shrugged, took one last look in her mirror, then started for the door. "I couldn't go back to sleep."
It was true, just not the main reason. Why she had really gotten up so early (It was only 6:30!), was because she wanted to see if Harry was up yet.
Ginny smiled and gave a little wave. "I'm gonna head down to breakfast. I'll see you later."
Samantha gave a nod and disappeared behind her hangings.
Ginny felt a small wave of nervousness wash over her as she left her dorm room and started down the stairs. It wasn't that she was nervous to see Harry. That wasn't it at all. It was the simple fact that she didn't know how her family was going to react. They all liked Harry, of course, but would they approve of him as Ginny's boyfriend?
Ginny reached the common room and scanned the room for Harry's familiar mess of black hair. She spotted him almost immediately, sitting by the fireplace, watching the still burning coals.
Ginny smiled. She watched him, loving his every movement, not believing that he was finally hers.
She heard him sigh, and watched as he leaned forward to prop his head up with one hand. She smiled as he ran his other hand through his hair, a movement Ginny was well aquatinted with. She had, after all, watched him like this for years without his knowing.
Ginny watched him a few moments more, then smiled and made her way towards him. She was almost to his couch when he turned to see her.
Ginny felt her heart flutter as he gave a small, nervous smile. She smiled back at him. "Good morning, Harry."
He stood as she arrived came to stand in front of him. He gulped. "Morning, Ginny."
He is just too adorable, Ginny thought, trying to contain a grin as he shuffled his feet and continually glanced back and forth between Ginny and the floor. He obviously didn't know what to do next.
I'll just have to help him out, Ginny thought, allowing her grin to surface. Stepping closer, she went up on tiptoes and gave him a short, but sweet kiss.
"How did you sleep?" she asked, pulling back.
Harry looked immensely relieved. "Good. Very good. You?"
Ginny smiled again and seated herself on the couch, pulling him down next to her. "Great."
Harry hesitated, then reached over and took her hand. Ginny gave his hand a squeeze, then leaned her head against his shoulder. "So when are you going to tell Hermione?"
They had decided the night before that Ginny would break the news of their new relationship to Ron, while Harry would tell Hermione.
Ginny felt his shoulder give a small heave. "I dunno, maybe at breakfast. When are you planning to tell Ron?"
"I was thinking about cornering him after Quidditch practice today."
Harry blew the air out of his mouth. "I hope he takes it all right."
Ginny smiled. "Don't worry. I'm sure he'll be fine with it."
Harry shook his head. "But look how he reacted with Michael and Dean! He hardly spoke to Dean the whole time you were going out with him."
"But this is different," Ginny said, intertwining her hand with his. "You're his best friend. I'm sure he'd prefer you over anyone else."
Harry sighed, then forced a smile onto his face. "I hope you're right."
Ginny laughed and poked him in the stomach. "Now that I'm your girlfriend, I'm always right."
--------------------------------------
"Well, hello Ginny!"
Ginny looked up from her lunch. "Oh, hi Hermione. "
Hermione seated herself across the table, a huge, teasing grin on her face. "Why are you sitting here all alone?"
Ginny shrugged. "Samantha and Rayla both have detention. Something about sneaking out to the Astronomy tower."
Hermione fought to keep her voice serious. "Of course, you would never do that. You have enough excitement right in the common room."
Hermione snickered as Ginny looked up quickly from her lunch.
Ginny smiled sheepishly, and bit her lip. "I'm guessing Harry told you about...us."
Hermione's grin got even wider, if that was possible. "Yes, he did."
Ginny ducked her head, a blush climbing her cheeks. "And?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Hermione burst out with a laugh. "I think it's wonderful!"
"I only hope Ron will think so," Ginny said with a grin, Hermione's enthusiasm catching hold of her.
Hermione's eye twinkled. "I think Ron knows more than you give him credit for."
Ginny gasped. "You mean he knows about-"
Hermione interrupted her, shaking her head in amusement. "I only mean that he might not be as surprised as you think he'll be."
--------------------------------------
"Alright, good practice everyone!" Harry called as the Gryffindor Quidditch team gathered on the field after their daily routine. "I hope tomorrow's will be just as good!"
The whole team groaned as they started for the locker rooms. They didn't really mind all that much about all the practicing (they wanted to win the Cup just as much as Harry), but grumbling about it seemed to be a tradition.
Ginny was busy trying to gather her nerves. She was about to tell Ron about her and Harry. Although she had sounded confident when talking with Harry, she really didn't know how Ron would react.
Harry paused before entering the locker rooms to glance back at Ginny. He gave her a brief, but encouraging smile before disappearing through the door. Ron started to follow after him.
"Ron!" Ginny called, jogging to catch up with him. He turned and waited for her.
"What's up, Gin?" he asked, letting the door swing shut after the rest of the team passed through.
She took a deep breath. "I need to talk to you for a minute."
He shrugged. "Alright."
Ginny struggled with the words. "Well, you see, I...I just wanted...to tell you-"
Ron grinned. "Spit it out, Ginny."
She sighed. "Harry and I are going out."
Ginny held her breath, watching him closely. He merely grunted. "It took you long enough."
Ginny couldn't believe her ears. "What?"
Ron rolled his eyes. "You and Harry aren't exactly the hardest people to read."
She recovered from her shock. "Look who's talking!"
Ron's grin evaporated. "Huh?"
Ginny smirked and folded her arms across her chest. "When exactly are you planning on telling Hermione that you fancy her?"
Ron's ears turned bright red. "I don't know what you're talking about," he muttered, opening the locker room door. "You're barking mad."
Ginny only smiled and headed for the girl's showers.

There you go! I might do one more short chappie just to sum things up, but that's it, I swear! Lol, expect more Harry/ Ginny one shots from me. I plan on writing a lot! Thanks again for all the reviews and please keep writing them!
