Chapter Two: Flashback # 1
He had first approached Ginny as she was walking down to Care of Magical Creatures class. He looked cool and composed, as usual, his long dark hair flipping into his deep emerald eyes. These eyes seemed to flicker nervously for a second. It must have been a trick of the light though. Harry Potter was never nervous.
He smiled his floppy, self assured smile to her, stopping her in mid-step.
"H- Harry! Um, uh, Hi!"
(That damned smile again.)
"Hey, Gin. What's up?"
"Uh… mm... well, nothing you know, err, Care of Magical Creatures…" She mumbled intelligently. (not)
"Oh, well, won't keep you then. Just, what're you doing this Hogsmeade trip?"
"Oh, um, well, I've got tons of Christmas shopping to do." She had just said that so she wouldn't seem stupid, but it reminded her- "That reminds me- what so you want for Christmas?"
"Well… I have an idea. Howz about you join me for Hogsmeade"
Ginny looked hopefully and disbelievingly in to his eyes. "…as…as a … date?" She could barely contain herself. "Ah. Sure. Yeah! D-Definitely!" She managed to stutter.
"Great! That's a present enough for me." He had smiled. He turned to catch up with his friends again, leaving behind a dazed Ginny clutching her books.
"Come on, fishbrains, lets go!" Sari said as she pulled Ginny into motion.
"We told you he liked you!" Esther gushed along with the reverberating song of the late bell. "What are you going to wear?"
