TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: PART 2

CONT'D

Whatever the reason, she would only realize in retrospect, for she found herself storming out of the common room, muttering loud enough for him to hear,

"Patronizing bastard."

If she had not been so absorbed in attempting to make a dramatic exit, she would have noticed Harry right on her heels.

For when she reached the empty corridor, seething with rage, she turned around to find him standing right behind her.

"Har-"

He had grabbed her then by her slender shoulders, pulling her close to him, before his lips swooped down toward hers, capturing her mouth in his, and catching her by utter surprise.

She had struggled at first, raining blows on his chest with her comparatively small fists.

This was an insult, to kiss her after she had just told him off.

But he manacled her wrists in his hands, pinning them against the wall he had backed her into.

Besides, the frenzy at which he had been attacking her lips was pleasingly distracting. She caught sight of a strange, unfamiliar glint in his half-closed eyes as he devoured her lips.

The urgency, with which his tongue slipped into her mouth and caressed her own, disturbed her.

It was as if Harry was attempting to lose himself in her, to distract himself from more pressing issues.

From past experience, Ginny knew, the worst thing any one could do was to attempt to use someone else as a distraction - to avoid dealing with more serious personal issues – it led to even more heartbreak.

She began to struggle against him, not for herself, but for Harry's sake.

She did not have to, for Harry broke away then with a sharp gasp and wide eyes. Ginny would never understand why he had looked so startled then.

"Ginny." He whispered, breathing deeply, his lungs wildly struggling for air.

He stared into her chocolate brown eyes, palm on the wall, beside her head, his face flushed.

"It was wrong." She said, her voice too shaky for her liking.

Harry nodded, looking at the wall beside her head.

"We've discussed this before remember when you talked about Cho? The reason why it did not work out? The last thing you need is to be romantically entangled when you're knee deep with battling against You-Know-Who." She explained, breathing evenly.

Bringing up the topic of Cho seemed to not have such an adverse effect on Harry as she had hoped. In fact he remained stonily stoic.

Ginny was trying to convince herself more than anything. For a part of her did want Harry to continue kissing her, to continue pouring a part of his soul into her, the way he had just moments before.

It was then that she realized she had never really stopped loving Harry.

Her feelings for him had grown from hero-worshiping to what was now love and concern.

She knew she had to walk away, get away from him before it was too late, before that avalanche of passion crashed down on her.

"We'll just forget it ever happened." She said, finality in her tone as she stepped away from him.

"I'm sorry." He looked abashed. She had wanted to kiss him then.

"It's fine, Harry."

Though she had known even then, as she turned to walk off, things would be far from fine after that.

They lapsed back into their distance of before that fateful summer, each avoiding the other and if forced to be in close proximity, treating each other with utmost civility.

Ginny did not moon, like those pathetic spineless romantic heroines, or wait listlessly for the next time Harry kissed her, for she knew that was never going to happen.

Instead, she had her string of boyfriends and he, his girlfriends but Harry's kiss seemed to have a stronghold on her, the taste of his lips forever burnt on hers.

As romantic as that sounded, it was highly unfortunate as it led to high tension filled awkwardness between them that over time had dissipated buts its remnants caused them never to assume the friendship they once had.

This puzzled those around them who knew nothing about the lust filled kiss but being presumptuous people that they were, assuming that the fight had caused a rift between them – after all Harry was pretty sensitive about his ' nobility complex'.

"I'll see you at the wedding then." Ginny asked, having finished her packing.

Luna nodded following Ginny out to the living room.

"Perhaps you should leave slightly later. They would all still be sleeping in late after the bachelor and hen parties last night. Also, you don't want to end up in Sirius' bedroom if you apparate wrongly. Word is that he sleeps in the nude."

Ginny would have burst out laughing if not for the sincerely worried look on Luna's face.

"I'll be fine. Zedka wants me there early. Besides I have to give Remus a few words of encouragement before that."

Ginny explained, swinging her satchel over her shoulder.

"Okay." Luna muttered resignedly.

"Good luck then."

With a reassuring smile for Luna and a loud crack, Ginny was gone.

Ginny had been focusing on the living room of Remus and Zedka's brand new home, or so she thought.

The moment her own tastefully furnished apartment vanished from sight, she found herself falling flat and landing with a muffled thump on something soft, firm and glaringly white.

She shook her hair out of her eyes, registering her surroundings.

She had landed on a very comfortable bed in one of the guest bedrooms.

Then why did the bed feel so strange, and was the mattress or the quilt beneath her moving?!

She struggled to remove herself from the seemingly enchanted covers.

A somewhat delayed,

"What the hell?!" startled her, causing her to stop her desperate movements to extract herself from the bed.

She winced, realizing instantly that someone was sleeping on the bed and she was right on top of whoever that poor soul was.

The reason for the lack of hindsight was due to the white puffy quilt that separated her from the person beneath, blocking them from Ginny's view.

Immediately raising herself on all fours, she looked down to find herself staring into a pair of emerald eyes that blinked right back at her.

Oh No.
