Chapter 9: The Favor

Ginny stared down at the note. This was the third time he'd been to "busy" to meet her. Every time she'd tried to catch up with him, catch him when nobody was around, he'd see her and then dash off. He was avoiding her. She couldn't believe it.

Ginny couldn't take it any longer. She'd taken it two times before and she wasn't going to take it a third. A plan conjured up in her mind.

Ginny raced to the Gryffindor Tower and nearly knocked Harry down climbing through the portrait. She almost lost her balance but Harry firmly grabbed her shoulders. He held her up straight and then eased up on the grasp he had on her.

"Hey, Ginny. You look flustered. What's wro-"

Before Harry could finish what he was saying Ginny cut him off. "Harry! I was just coming to see you." Harry's eyes lighted up when he heard this.

"Really?" Harry said with a little bit of glee in his voice.

Ginny eyebrows narrowed. 'Why was he so excited to see me?' Ginny thought. "Umm…….yea….." She shook of the look and then put on a pleading face. "Harry could I ask you for a favor?"

"Yea! Sure! Whachya need?" he asked willing to give her anything she'd ever want from him.

"Could I borrow your Invisibility Cloak? I'd return it to you by tomorrow night. Please!" Ginny gave Harry her best puppy dog face.

"Umm….okay. May I ask what you need it for?"

"Oh just a little project I'm working on."

"Okay then. Let me go get it." But before Harry could turn around, Ginny leaped on him giving him a big bear hug.

"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" Ginny said in his ear quite loud.

When she let go of him, Harry just looked at her kind of stunned. "You're welcome," he said with that same stunned look on his face. He then turned around to go get the cloak. 'Did that just happen?' Harry thought.

He came back down the stairs with the cloak and handed it to Ginny. She gave him another hug, even a small kiss on the cheek, and headed towards the girl's dormitories. Just as she was on the top step she turned to Harry. "Thanks a lot Harry. I owe you one!" With that said she turned around and was out of sight.

Harry stared after her and put his hand to his cheek. He pulled his hand away and looked at it. 'Did that just happen? ' Harry asked himself that question all the way up to the boy's dormitories and was still thinking about it when his eyes finally drifted closed.
