Ginny's Many Dates

Chapter 10

" Okay, first off Malfoy, you don't pick on Ginny while I'm around. Second off, I like Ginny and I always have I've just not seen it as clearly as I do now. Third off, Hermione and Ron like each other so I wouldn't have went out with Hermione anyway. And last don't you ever call Ginny or Hermione those things around me! Now either go find a nice place to hide or get ready to duel!" Harry said, his face as red as a cherry could possibly get.

Meanwhile Ginny was sitting there innocently looking up at her new boyfriend who had just said that he had always liked her, she was touched, very touched, so touched that she could have grabbed him right there and started kissing him. But this obviously wasn't the right time, he was ready to kick Malfoy's ass and she was not going to mess that up.

Malfoy, Crab, and Goyle just sat there and looked up at him astonished by what he had just said. Malfoy started to pull out his wand, he got into the position for dueling and said " Fine Potty, if you want to fight we can do just that,"

Harry began to get into the position, as Malfoy had done, but was interrupted by a sharp Bang! And " Uhm, hum,"

Fred had just entered the room, and Ginny was relieved, she didn't want anything to happen to Harry, and she knew that Malfoy could be beaten but Harry wouldn't have left the fight with out a mark, and Harry already had attracted enough attention with his first scar he definately didn't need another one.

" We will deal with this later," Malfoy began " 6:00 in the east corridor, don't be late or I will come and find you," he threatened

" Oh, don't worry I won't," Harry said, his eyes now little slits in the shadows of his face

" Sorry Professor we were just having a little chat before classes started. Will not happen again I assure you," Malfoy said in his best 'teacher's pet' voice

" Yes, I am well aware that it will not happen again, because 10 points will be deducted from Gryffindor for holding up class.." he began, making all of the Gryffindors sigh and moan, and all of the Slytherins snicker " and 20 points will be taken from Slytherin, because of holding up the class and sucking up to a teacher," with that all of the Gryffindors took there turn to snicker, and all of the Slytherins took their turn to sigh and moan.

" But Professor you cannot be serious," Malfoy said in shock

" Oh, but I am, now take your seat or you may have a seat at the front of the class room, right besides me," Fred said in a very 'high and mighty' voice

" Yes, sir, come on Crab, Goyle, 'lets go take our seat'," he said in a mocking voice

Malfoy, Crab and Goyle, took their seats at the back of the room. Harry calmly sat down, put his wand away, and smiled at Ginny as if to say, sorry about that.

" So, you've liked me for a long time eh?" Ginny asked putting on her heart melting smile

Harry turned very red and said " Uh, yeah, I have, if you could count since the first year, a long time, then yes a very very long time,"

Ginny was now beaming, she couldn't be happier, unless Snape all of the sudden dropped dead, but that wasn't going to happen.

" Yeah, same here," she replied blushing almost as much as he was

" Really?" he asked " I thought that you liked Dean,"

" Nope," she started " the only one person that I've ever liked was you Harry,"

Harry began to say something back to her, but Fred began to teach, so no more could be said. They sat quietly at their table doing there work, not paying attention to Malfoy's threats and puns.

When the bell had finally rung, they had finished taking notes, which were 3 pieces of parchment long. They were very relieved to find that the class was over, especially Ginny.

She got up from her seat and began to stuff the quills, parchments and books that she had been using into her bag, and looked over at Harry to see if he was ready to go.

" So, ready for lunch?" she asked smiling over at the raven haired boy

" Yeah, you?" he replied

" Yup,"

" Hey, Gin?" he asked as they began down the hall towards the Great Hall

" Yeah?" Ginny asked

" I was just thinking, its a nice day out, and well it would be a perfect day for a picnic," Harry offered sweetly " do you want to go and have lunch out by the lake?"

Ginny was totally caught off guard that time, I mean he had asked her to the Valentines Day Ball, Hogsmeade, which was in two days, and to lunch all in the past two days, could her week get much better?

" Yeah, of course! But would you mind if I got out of these clothes, I mean after all today is Wednesday and that means it's dress down day," Ginny said happily

" No, of course you can change, as a matter of fact I think I'll go change too," Harry replied as they turned the corner and headed in the direction of their rooms.

When they reached their rooms, they split up and ran into them to change. Ginny entered her room and flopped down onto her bed, sighing heavily, as she said " Wow, I must be one lucky girl to get the guy I want to be my boyfriend and a date with him to lunch, a Ball, and Hogsmeade," she closed her eyes and rolled over onto her back and stared up at the ceiling thinking about the past events that had happened that day.

When she had finally had enough thinking she got up and walked over to her wardrobe and changed, ever since Dumbledore had made Wednesdays and Fridays dress down days she had taken advantage of it.

Ginny decided to wear a pink 'V' top with blue jeans, and matching flip flops, when she had finished dressing she walked through the joined bathroom and knocked on the opposite door, leading to Harry's bedroom. She was very excited for the upcoming Hogsmeade date, but was even more excited to get to spend time with him now.
