Chapter 13: Harry's Confession

Draco looked up. He could've sworn he heard someone crying. He glanced around many times still thinking he would see someone, when he finally saw them. A head popped out of nowhere and then the rest of its body. There was no one else who could ever have hair like that. "Ginny," he whispered.

He began to run after her and call out her name but either she heard and ignored or she didn't hear him at all.

'She won't let me anywhere near her to explain,' he thought putting his head in his hands. 'What have I done?'

"Harry?"

"Ginny, I thought you were sick." He looked at her questioningly.

Ginny needed someone at the moment. She needed comfort. Before she knew what she was doing she ran into Harry's arms and sobbed into his chest. "Why Harry? Why did he have to do this to me?"

Harry wrapped his arms around her. He was a full head taller than her. "Who did what to you?" he asked in a quiet voice. Ginny realized that nobody knew about her and Draco. She looked up into Harry's beautiful green eyes- the eyes she fell in love with when she was in her first year- with fright in her own. She couldn't believe she'd almost told someone. Especially his number one foe.

"Was it Malfoy?" Harry asked remembering when he saw them exiting the closet together. He looked down at her tear-stricken face and she looked up at him full of shock. He wore care and compassion on his face, Ginny noticed. She also noticed that he didn't wear a look of anger. She buried her head in his chest and slowly shook her head yes.

"How'd you know?" she asked.

"I saw you and him exiting a closet a couple of months back. Both of you were smiling and I knew you weren't just talking." Harry's eyes began to tear up from thinking of this memory that tore his heart in two but quickly blinked them away before Ginny could see.

"And you didn't tell anybody?" Ginny asked once again looking up in his eyes. They looked glossy and more beautiful than ever. This time she couldn't tare away from them.

"I told no one," he said his face positively unreadable. She couldn't think of anyone who'd done something so selfless and brave for her. But then again she could and the person who had done it then was standing right in front of her. He'd saved her life in her first year. Not only that but to keep a secret that could possibly ruin her life and tear her apart from her family. Ginny would be eternally thankful.

"I know you would've told me he was bad news and he was still vicious, an egomaniac, and infernal no matter how many times I told you he'd changed and how much we loved each other but I know now that you would've been right. He is the most thoughtless, selfish, and inconsiderate person I know. You would've been right, Harry. Why didn't you just tell me those things? You would've been right." She cried more in his chest and he held her close.

"Harry, you're one of the bravest, kindest, and selfless people I know. No wonder I'd fallen for you in my first year." She sniffled and reached up and stroked his face. Harry closed his eyes and soaked in her warm touch. He leaned his head lightly against her hand. She watched him react to her touch, her mouth slightly opened, in awe.

Harry opened his eyes and stared into her water full eyes. "Do you know why I was here instead of at Hogsmeade with everybody else?" She continued to stroke his face and tilted her head slightly at him. He continued. "It was because I was worried about you, Ginny. You make me feel so worried at the slightest bit of illness in your actions or in your voice. All the time, I worry about you." Harry got himself started and by now, it was just flowing out and he couldn't stop. "I worry that you're not going to be pleased with the way you did on something as small as a test. I worry that you won't be happy." She continued to stare up into his face. "I worry that you'll fall for some boy who's not me." He said the last sentence slowly gazing down in her eyes.

"Oh Harry….." As she said this, Harry picked her up with her legs slung over one of his arm, her arms around his neck, and her head resting on his chest and walked over to the chair by the fire. He sat down and cradled Ginny in his arms.

She stared at his chest and started thinking. 'Could I be rebounding on Harry after the whole thing with Draco? Is this what I really want?' Ginny tried to push all of the thoughts that said it was wrong and deceitful to do this out of her mind. 'How is it deceitful? Draco cheated on me! I just hope that I'm not turning to Harry to get over Draco.' She decided to just stop thinking and let her actions take over.

She looked up at Harry who was already looking at her. She caught a glimpse of heaven as she saw his green eyes get closer and closer. Then they closed and she felt his lips against hers. She then closed her eyes and kissed him back. Harry's kiss was so good. It made her feel like there wasn't a care in the world. It just felt right sitting in Harry's lap, her arms around his neck, kissing him so sweetly and passionately.

"It's like I always say, what you may think is right may not always be right. It may be what your head is telling you but not what your heart wishes. Think before you act." Ginny could just here her mom's words ringing in her ears but they melted away as Harry's kiss deepened. She began to run her hands through his dark, black, scruffy hair. She then remembered all the times with Draco when she'd ran her hands through his hair and began to slowly pull away.

Harry looked at her, his forehead against hers, and smiled. She smiled back at him with the deepest of apology in her eyes but Harry didn't seem to notice and continued to smile at her like he was on top of the world.

"Harry," She tore her look from his eyes. "Can you promise me something?"

Harry moved his head so that he could catch her eyes in his again still smiling. "Anything."

She turned back to him and looked him straight in the eye and had a look of all seriousness. "Promise me that no matter what I do, no matter what I say, that you will always know that I love you.You are one of the best people I know. You've always been there for me and a great friend." She paused and gave him a firm look. "I just want you to know that I will always love you no matter what you may think." Her eyes started to water.

Harry looked down at her and was oblivious to the point she was really trying to make and just smiled at her thinking she would always be his. He was so overwhelmed with happiness he'd become blind to what his mind was trying to tell him. "Of course. I'd promise you the world." He leaned in for another kiss but her head was against his chest again and she was sound asleep.

He began to stroke her hair and sing to her. This was a new thing for Harry because he sang for no one. He'd forgotten what a terrible singer he was and just began to sing out of pure love. It took awhile for Harry to realize that the voice coming from his mouth was actually a good one.

He leaned his head against hers and fell asleep to the sound of his own voice.

A/N: hope you liked it. check back for the next chapter and see what Ginny does...suspicous music playing in the background. haha!
