Chapter Seven

A Perfect Evening

Harry stood looking in the mirror, trying to straighten his tie. He had gone out into muggle London with Hermione today. He needed a suit and she knew more about them then he did. Why did he have to pick a place that was so formal?

Hermione walked over with a sigh. "Honestly," she said as she straightened his tie for him. She stepped back and swept her eyes over him. "Well," she said, "You do look good," she said, "Although, it did help that you were able to have a pretty much endless budget."

"How much did we spend anyway?" asked Harry.

"More then I want to think about," replied Hermione with a chuckle and a mock shudder.

Harry looked back at himself in the mirror. Even though Harry did not know much about suits he thought that he looked good. He was wearing a custom tailored, black Armani suit. He also had a Crimson shirt and a tie in Gryffindor red and gold.

At that moment Harry's musings were disrupted when Ron walking into the room and instantly breaking into maniacal laughter. "What?" said Harry sharply.

Ron caught his breath and managed to say, "You are wearing a crisp, new, well fitting suit. There are no problems. You are holding yourself with dignity and pride. Harry, when in hell did you turn into bloody Barty Crouch," With that he broke into another wave of laughter.

"Honestly," said Hermione, "When are you ever going to grow up. I think that you look brilliant Harry."

"Thanks Hermione," said Harry. He turned to look at the stair as he heard Ginny descending them. As she came into view Harry's jaw dropped. She looked stunning. She was wearing a flowing red dress without a back that left Harry breathless. Her hair tumbled down in subtle curls complementing her dress. Harry walked up to her and took her hand, helping her down the last few stairs. "You look amazing," said Harry with a goofy smile on his face.

"Thanks," said Ginny, "You look great too." As she said this she ran an appraising eye over Harry's new suit, looking pleased.

"Yeah," said Harry chuckling, "Thanks to Hermione."

Ron stood gaping at Ginny with a horrified expression on his face. "You can't go out like that," he said.

Ginny just rolled her eyes at him as Hermione forced him into the other room. She turned back to Harry who was staring at her with a grin across his face. "You look absolutely beautiful Gin."

"Thank you," said Ginny as her cheeks became tinged with red.

"So," said Harry, "Are you ready to go?"

"Of course," smiled Ginny. Harry wrapped his arm around Ginny's waist and they walked out the door and down the lane together.

Harry couldn't believe his luck. He was going into town with a vision of beauty on his arm. She walked next to him, her hair shimmering in the moonlight. It took Harry's breath away.

Ginny gave a sigh of contentment and leaned into his arm. She was finally getting a real date with Harry Potter. She was getting another chance at happiness.

Harry leaned down to kiss her on the forehead. She smiled and gazed up at his emerald green eyes. "So where are we going," she asked.

"A muggle restaurant named Antonio's," replied Harry.

"Been talking to Fred and George, huh," said Ginny giggling.

"What?" said Harry with a surprised look upon his face. "How, how did you know."

"Well," began Ginny, "You don't know the village too well so you couldn't have found it. Neither does Hermione. You would never ask me parents. So that leaves three people: Ron, Fred, and George and in all honesty do you really see Ron frequenting a romantic restaurant?"

"No, I guess not," Harry laughed.

Harry and Ginny walked into town and approached a small building with red curtains and a sign that read Antonios. When they walked in Harry was greeted by a waiter wearing a tuxedo and a large grin. He showed them to a table and left to get them their drinks.

Fred and George could not have made a better choice. There was a romantic, cozy atmosphere that seemed to be exuded from every facet of the restaurant. It was decorated in shades of red and smelled pleasantly of garlic and olive oil.

Harry gazed across the table and smiled. Ginny looked absolutely perfect. The soft light of the restaurant created a halo in her red curls. Her soft brown eyes looked like pools of chocolate. Harry found himself smiling again.

She looked up at him and grinned. "So, how are you?"

"Pretty good," Harry replied. "Did you hear about the match between Puddlemere United and the Chudley Cannons?"

"Yeah," said Ginny enthusiastically, "Ron has to be mad over that one. The Cannons just got flattened."

"I know what you mean," said Harry, "340 to 20. A total Bloodbath. Then again that is to be expected."

"Yeah," said Ginny laughing, "The Cannons haven't won for years."

"That too," said Harry, "But I meant that Puddlemere has Oliver. You know, Wood. There are few keepers better then him."

"Yeah," said Ginny, "You were good friends with Wood weren't you?"

"I was," said Harry, "He was a great Quidditch Captain."

The waiter brought out their food. It was excellent. Once again' Harry silently thanked Fred and George for their help. As they finished eating Harry realized that this had been the perfect evening. It was everything that he could have ever hoped for.

They left the restaurant and began to walk back to the burrow. Ginny leant over and put her arm around his waist and leaned her head against his shoulder. They walked in comfortable silence. When they neared the burrow Harry pulled Ginny to the side of the road.

"Ginny," said Harry, "Thanks."

"Why?" asked Ginny.

"You have been there for me," Harry explained. Harry took her hands in his, looking deep into her eyes. "When I left to battle Voldemort, you were there. I pushed you away and yet you never stopped supporting me. You were there at the hospital. You never left, and now you are here."

"Harry…" she began, but Harry cut her off.

"Gin, just listen," said Harry, "You were always there even when I left. You mean everything to me. Ginny, I love you."

She broke into a huge smile and pulled Harry into a huge hug. "I love you too Harry," she whispered. He leaned in and brought his lips to her. The kiss was soft and tender.

Harry ran his tongue across her lips, seeking permission to deepen the kiss. She granted it and the kiss began to change. It became fiery and passionate. Harry was drowning in happiness. He must be the luckiest person in the world.

They broke away from each other gasping for breath. Harry grinned as Ginny leant into his chest. He stood there stroking her hair. "Thank You," he said.

"Harry, don't thank me. I was always going to be with you. I trust you. Harry, I love you."

"I know, I love you too"

They walked the rest of the way to the burrow and through the door. Harry smiled and kissed her softly before she headed upstairs.

Ginny ran up the stairs as quickly as she could. She was happier then she had ever been in her life. He loved her. He had said it. She burst through her door to see Hermione waiting on her bed for her.

"So," asked Hermione, "How did it go?"

"It was wonderful," Ginny exclaimed, "The restaurant was great. The food was excellent. Harry was polite, and charming, and handsome."

"Yeah," said Hermione obviously catching Ginny's excitement, "What else happened?"

"Well," she said, "After we left the restaurant we were walking back to the burrow. And he pulls me to the side of the road and he kissed me."

"So?" asked Hermione, "How was it?"

"Perfect, and then," Ginny sighed leaning back against the pillows on her bed. She continued in a contented voice, "He told me that he loved me."

Hermione's jaw dropped and she broke out into a huge grin. "Oh my gosh. Ginny, I can't believe it," she squealed, "I'm so happy for you."

"Thanks Hermione," said Ginny.

"So what did you do?" asked Hermione.

"Well," began Ginny demurely, "I told him that I loved him. Then he hugged me and…it all seemed right."

Hermione squealed and pulled Ginny into a hug where they sat giggling for some time.

Harry walked up the stairs to the room the he and Ron shared with a huge grin on his face. When he opened the door he saw Ron sitting at his desk reading the sports section of the Daily Prophet. He was muttering under his breath, "340 to 20, bloody hell. Damn Wood."

Ron looked up when he heard Harry walking into the room. He frowned seeing the stupid grin on Harry's face. "What are you so happy about?" asked Ron accusatorily.

Harry rolled his eyes and began to hang up his suit. "It's nothing Ron, just calm down."

Ron narrowed his eyes in suspicion. Harry laid down on the bed and starred up at the ceiling sill grinning wildly. "Are you sure that it was nothing?" asked Ron.

"It sure wasn't nothing," muttered Harry, "Just nothing that you would care about.

"Harry, I swear, if you don't explain what you are on about," threatened Ron.

"I told her that I loved her," said Harry.

"What!" shouted Ron.

"I told her that I loved her," repeated Harry.

"Why did you go and do something like that?" asked Ron.

"I didn't intend to say it, not tonight anyway, but it's true so why shouldn't I say it," said Harry starting to get annoyed.

"It's a bit soon, isn't it?" asked Ron.

"I know, but not really, if you think about it. I mean we were dating only a year ago," said Harry.

"I know," said Ron, starting to calm down. He collapsed back into his seat and gave a deep sigh. "She's just my sister, you know? And this is moving pretty fast. I'm just going to have to get used to it, I guess."

"Yeah," said Harry, "I guess you will."

Ron looked Harry in the eye and asked, "You really love her, don't you?"

"Yeah," said Harry, "I do."

A/N: So, did you like it? I really hope that you did. PLEASE REVIEW.

Well, that one was a little longer now wasn't it. Can't you just picture Harry's suit. I SO want that suit. I am in a program called Model United Nations, a.k.a. a hole bunch of CNN junkies getting together and debating about international politics while wearing suits. Anyway, I have kinda gotten addicted to cool suits. And that suit would be like, the best one ever. Anyway, things are moving along aren't they. If you have any questions then write a review about it. But, seriously, anyone PLEASE REVIEW.

By the way I would like to say once again that I am really sorry for not updating for a while. I know that there was kind of a long gap between the fifth and sixth chapters. Sorry! I had several tests and just a whole bunch of stuff going on. That is one of the reasons that I made sure to get this as soon as I could. I'm going to try to get you the next chapter tomorrow. Anyway, it's currently around 12:35 in the morning so I am going to stop writing this note.

Might I say thanks to my favorite reviewers. I love all of my reviewers and rather then just focus on a single one I will do an all inclusive statement. THANK YOU! I will note that if any of you have questions I will post answers in the future. However, I haven't really had any questions yet. So...Thank You!

PLEASE REVIEW!

Sincerely,

Robinton
