Chapter 11

It's Settled

Recap:" 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.

End of Recap

Harry was sitting on his bed slipping on his shoes when he heard a knock on the door leading to their bathroom, assuming it was Ginny he said " Come on in Gin, I'm just tying my shoes,"

Ginny obeyed opening the door and walking over to his bed. When she saw him it took her breath away. Harry was dressed in a white top that hugged his muscles tightly and had a red and gold plaid jacket that was left unbuttoned,with a pair of loose jeans and a pair of old tennis shoes that set off his outfit perfectly his hair was its usual self, messy yet sexy.

Harry looked up at her and noticed her staring at his chest and chuckled as he stood up.

" Do you like what you see Gin?" he asked raising his right eyebrow,and smiling at her mischievously, which made her have a tingling sensation run up and down her spine.

" Um, uh, no," she lied, what was she supposed to say? Oh yes Harry, you are the hottest person alive on this earth, and then just start snogging him? No she couldn't do that so she was left to lie.

" Okay, Gin sure," He replied sarcastically, he didn't have a clue where all of this self esteem came from, but when she gazed at him like that he felt like he was the best looking guy around.

" Oh, shut up, and quit staring at me there, you perv," she said punching him playfully, as she noticed where his eyes were rested... right on her chest.

" Sorry Gin, but you know, I find you to be very attractive," Harry said walking up to her

" Oh, stop it your making me blush," Ginny replied jokingly " Are we going to go to lunch or not?"

" Okay, Okay, then let's go," he said rolling his eyes at her playfully

Harry walked over to the door and opened it motioning for Ginny to step out first, and so she did.

" Here, you go ma'am, right this way," he said as she stepped out of the room

" Why thank you sir," she replied

Harry then walked up next to her and stuck out his arm which she took. They walked arm in arm, to the end of the corridor that led to the entrance of the Hogwarts court yard. When they reached that door, he once again opened it for her and she stepped out. But instead of offering his arm to her again he spun her around so that she was facing him and said something to her, " I have a surprise for you by the lake so you have to wear this," as Harry said that he pulled out a blind fold and smiled at Ginny, who smiled back

" Okay, just don't run me into a tree," Ginny said laughing a little

" Just trust me Ginny," Harry said being a little more serious

" I do trust you Harry," she replied being as serious as he was

" Okay good now, turn around so I can tie this," he started " Okay, can you see anything?"

" Nope, nothing but darkness," she replied

" Good, now you have to trust me, I will make sure you don't run into anything believe me," Harry said as he took her hands in his. When he did this it made Ginny shudder, his hands were so strong and soft, she couldn't believe this was happening, she had finally conquered her dream. Harry was her boyfriend.

" Okay, I trust you," Ginny replied happily

Harry held her hands firmly in his own as he walked slowly backwards, leading towards the lake. When he got there he let go of her hands and said " Okay, now take off the blind fold and look around,"

Ginny obeyed, she took it off and looked around, but she wasn't sure what was going on. She was confused, there in front of her was a beach, not a lake, but a beach with soothing music coming from somewhere in the distance. There was also a large red and white checkered blanket spread across the soft, warm sand. Around the blanket were four floating candles, and many rose petals scattered across it.

Ginny soaked in everything, and then turned around, behind her was the large gray castle, but it seemed very distant. She turned around again, and then looked up at Harry who was smiling from ear to ear, like he had just won a trophy. She smiled back and said " This is amazing, but, where are we? I don't understand, here we are at a beach, but then I turn around and there is the castle,"

" I put a transforming spell on the lake, and a separation spell between the lake and Hogwarts, you can see the castle and everyone around it, but they cannot see you nor me," Harry replied

Ginny looked around once again, smiling at the beautiful landscape, " I don't think today could get much better," she thought to herself

" Thank you Harry, this is absolutely beautiful," Ginny said as she gave Harry a hug

Harry returned the hug easily, he adored this girl more than anything in the world, but she didn't know that. He could only wish that someday she would figure that out.

" Your welcome Ginny, its really nothing," he said breaking away from the hug as he and Ginny sat down on the blanket

Harry pulled out his wand and said "ancillor," and all of the food in the basket that lied on the blanket appeared on two small plates. There was chicken, carrots, macaroni and cheese, strawberries, and another small plate full of chocolate cookies.

Ginny gazed, wide-eyed at her plate that was half full of strawberries. She absolutely loved strawberries. When Harry saw her looking at her plate like that he chuckled and said " I got those strawberries especially for you,"

Ginny laughed at this and said, " Well, thank you, but how'd you know that I liked them?"

" Well, earlier when I had dropped you off at your room Ron happened to pass as I was opening my door. He asked me if I knew what Hermione's favorite foods were, because they were going on a lunch date, as we are. I told him and then asked him about your favorite foods," Harry said

" Oh, I see. So, who asked who out?" she asked as she sat down on the blanket, Harry doing the same.

" What'd you mean?" he replied as he bit into his chicken leg

" Did Hermione, ask Ron out, or did Ron ask Hermione out?" she revised

" Oh, Ron told me that she did," Harry started, chuckling a little " he didn't seem to like the fact that a girl asked him out,"

" He'll get over it," Ginny said smiling as she stuffed a strawberry into her mouth. Harry laughed at this, he never realized how funny Ginny actually was, for quite sometime, especially in the first year, he didn't even see how they could ever be together. And now they were having lunch together on a magical beach, and he didn't feel that he could ever ask for more.

" Hey Ginny, I have something to ask you,"

Ginny looked up at him in a concerned way and said," Okay, sure anything,"

" Are you and I,..., uh...um," he started but got lost on his words and couldn't remember what he was going to say.

" Boyfriend and girlfriend," she offered

" Yeah, are we? I mean I know that's probably a dumb question but..."

" Oh, no it's not, actually I was thinking the same thing," she replied reassuringly

" So,..."

" Uh, I donno, you answer that," Ginny retorted smiling at him

Harry smiled back and said " Well, I sure hope we are,"

Ginny suddenly let out a big sigh that she didn't know she was holding and replied," Good me too,"

" So, it's settled, you are my girlfriend, and I am your boyfriend," Harry said as he took hold of her hand

" It's settled,"
