Chapter 1- Truly, Madly, Deeply
"No?" Harry repeated in shock as he crossed to sit at the opposite side of the compartment. 'Merlin!' he thought, 'what have I done?' whatever he had expected it wasn't this, that was for sure.' Mentally he kicked himself, he shouldn't have listened to Ron he shouldn't have expected Ginny to be in love with him. He knew that Ginny liked him when he was in second year- did he honestly think that she still liked him after all these years?... reluctantly the voices in his head replied 'yes'. Yes he did expect her to still be in love with him, just as much as he was in love with her, especially after that night in the common room
FLASHBACK
It was the night after the last Quidditch match that Harry would ever be in as Captain of the Gryffindor team; unsurprisingly they had won the House Cup against Slytherin and were having the customary party in the Common Room. Eventually, Harry found himself alone in the common room and went to sit by the dying embers of the fire, only to find his favourite seat occupied by, in his eyes a vision of beauty, a sleeping Ginny Weasley. She was lying in the chair, her hair fanned out and breathing gently with a small smile painted on her face showing she was dreaming pleasant thoughts. Harry gently stroked her face, enraptured by her exquisiteness, smelling the sweet vanilla scent which lingered on her skin, and then gently, he kissed her lips, tasting the strawberry lip gloss she wore, his senses tingling.
Slowly Ginny stirred and smiling at Harry asked 'Where is everyone' is the soft half sleeping voice one uses when they first wake'.
'Ginny' Harry replied, 'Its 4 o'clock in the morning, everyone is in bed, 'c'mon- that's where you should be!'
He lifted her up and carried her towards her stairs in the manner a husband carries his wife over the threshold, as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
'Why are we stopped?' Ginny murmured to his chest,
Harry chuckled, 'Ginny I can't go up there!' he said
'Yes you can' she replied half sleeping, 'you can go up as long as there is a girl with you…'
'Oh!' Harry replied bringing her to her bed, which had her name inscribed at the foot of it, laying her down on her bed he reached down and kissed her cheek gently and felt her soft lips brush against his before murmuring ''nite'
END FLASHBACK
"No," Ginny repeated in a softer tone, "The man who I have been in love with for the past seven years has just asked me to wait even longer?" she added in a teasing tone, "Well I refuse!" she strode over to the other side of the compartment and to Harry, and timidly placed a small kiss on his lips.
"Ginny!" he groaned "I can't do this now, you have to wait, everyone I care about dies, Voldemort" at this Ginny gave an involuntary shudder causing Harry to pull her down to sit beside him, "Voldemort," he repeated kills everyone I love, Sirius, Lupin, my parents… I can't bare the thought of them taking you too, and hurting you- I can't imagine a Ginny-less world!"
"Harry James Potter!" Ginny exclaimed "I am a big girl now, and I don't want to wait for you any longer, I would be more hurt if you made me wait for any longer, is this the reason you have avoided asking me out until now- you said you loved me for the past two years?" she demanded to know. As Harry nodded, Ginny continued her tirade, "what would have happened if I had have met someone else, another 'Mr. Right' before you told me all this?'
Harry's eyes twinkled mischievously, as he said "Ron and I made sure you didn't! That's why I waited until now to tell you, next year I won't be here to ward off any competition"
"Ha!" Ginny laughed, "You didn't do a very good job! I've still had boyfriends!"
Harry raised his eyebrows at this statement and, keeping the laughter than was beginning to fill his body from erupting he said "But we still managed to make sure they didn't last- didn't we?"
Ginny looked at the smirk on his face and demanded "What did you do?" while standing up and folding her arms, looking rather scarily like her mother, making Harry almost adore her even more at the anger and passion she was radiating.
"okay, Okay!" Harry said laughing as he pulled Ginny back down beside him, leading Ginny to give him a look as if to say 'Go on…'
FLASHBACK
"Robert!" Ron called to the boy in the corridor in front of them
"Hi Ron, Harry!" Robert said as he turned to face the two Gryffindors, "What are you's doing?"
"Looking for you," Harry snarled, leading the Ravenclaw Keeper to take a step backwards
"Wh…wh…what have I done?" he stuttered as the friends backed him towards the wall
"Just what exactly do you think you are doing with my sister?" Ron said in a quiet sinister voice that sent shivers down Robert's spine.
"We just want you to know there will be consequences if you don't break up with her, and if you tell her about this then you won't know what's hit you." Harry said
"okay mate" Robert said as he made a break for it.
"Oh Dean?" Ron called after him, "If you in any way let Ginny think this is her fault you will be in trouble!"
END FLASHBACK
Ginny was sitting trying not to laugh, "do you know that he told me he was gay?" she asked Harry, trying to be stern but smiling at the same time.
Harry laughed- "Yeah, I felt bad about that- but at least he wasn't a Gryffindor, we had to change tack a bit with Dean!"
FLASHBACK
The Gryffindor Common Room was empty save Harry and Ron who sat conspiring, "Are you ready mate?" Ron asked
"As ever," Harry replied, taking a small vial out of his robes "Do you think this will work?"
"Of course it will! Fred and George wouldn't lie about this!"
"Let's get to work then!"
The went back up to their dorm and managed to inconspicuously slipped the potion into the cup beside Dean's bed…
"I can't wait until tomorrow!" Ron sniggered as they went to their respective beds after they saw Dean drinking from his cup.
Next Day…
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Dean yelled waking his room mate
"What's wrong?" Seamus asked looking towards his best friend only to start laughing.
"Dean…" Neville began nervously pointing to his friends chest "What are they doing there?"
Harry and Ron couldn't help but laugh, for Dean, over night had sprouted DD breasts
"What the fuck are they doing there?" Dean yelled
Trying to speak through his laugher Harry said "I've heard about this, it happens when you have 'impure' dreams about your girlfriend, your breasts get bigger when you think about her's"
With that statement Deans breasts began to grow before their eyes, making Seamus and Neville laugh.
Dean, however turned to look at Ron's face, which was now contorted with fury (due to his brilliant acting skills of course!)
"Dean, you fucking bastard!" he yelled
"Mate…" he said "I…"
Ron started walking towards Dean who begged for mercy.
"I'm going to break up with her- this won't happen again" he said
"You're breaking up with her?" Ron asked pausing
"Yes, anything! Just don't hit me!"
"C'mon Ron!" Harry said "He's not going to touch Ginny ever again"- As Ron backed away Harry handed Dean a glass of water (with the antidote to the potion) and as Dean drank it his breasts began to disappear.
END FLASHBACK
This time Ginny was almost in convulsions on the floor laughing so hard. "Harry Potter!" she said as she tried to stand up and sit on his knee, "I love you!"
"I love you too!" Harry replied as Ginny stopped laughing and their lips met and they kissed slowly, a sweet loving kiss, the first of many, but special in that it marked the beginning of their love for each other.
Outside in the corridor Ron and Hermione looked on smiling at the scene of two people who were so in love with each other, "C'mon Ron said grabbing Hermione's hand "We're going to have some fun!"
Hermione watched as Ron stormed into the compartment with his wand raised, and his face contorted with anger, although there was a small glint of humour in his eyes. "Harry! What the fuck do you thin you are doing with my baby sister?" he yelled
Harry pulled away from Ginny's mouth and looked up at the face of his best friend and said "Ummmm…" with a sheepish expression on his face
"Ronald Bilius Weasley!" Ginny screeched as she rose to her feet, her face red in anger, matching the colour of her hair. "If you so much as dare hex my boyfriend then I'll make sure you won't be able to move for at least a month!"
Instead of looking at Ginny Ron turned to Harry and said "bloody hell mate, I didn't think you were going to ask her to be your girlfriend yet!"
"You knew?" Ginny asked staring at the two friends
"We all knew!" Hermione said standing in the corridor with Luna and Neville who had just wandered up their directon.
"Well I had to ask permission!" Harry exclaimed looking at his girlfriend's shocked expression. "I didn't want to end up looking like Dean!"
"We're here!" Luna exclaimed as the train shuddered to a standstill.
As there was a general scrambling for trunks, pets and other belongings, Harry pulled his girlfriend to the side and said "I love
you Ginny Weasley, I'm truly, madly, deeply in love with you!"
"I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope; I'll be your love be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath truly madly deeply do…
I will be strong I will be faithful 'cos I'm counting on A new beginning.
A reason for living. A deeper meaning.
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me..."
Relaying the lyrics of her favourite muggle song, before leaving the train and being hugged by an excited Mrs Weasley who was glad to have all 'her children' back again.
