Harry wanted nothing more than to drag Ginny home and spend the rest of the night snogging (among other things) but to his disappointment he didn't have an opportunity. Hermione and Ron came home with Ginny and Harry that night after the first game, and Hermione insisted that Ron stayed in his own room. This stopped any hopes of getting Ginny alone and caused Harry to stew in misery all night.

If Harry thought he would get any relief over the next few days he was sorely mistaken. It turned out that Ginny and Hermione had plans to go school shopping with Ginny the next day. Both of the girls were too tired to do anything more that evening which caused Ron and Harry to play chess all night long. The sexual frustration that was building up in Harry continued to be dragged out.

Harry knew that he shouldn't be this aggravated but he couldn't even get one moment alone with Ginny over the next several days. Hermione kept dragging Ginny away to do more shopping or drink tea with Mrs. Weasley. After four straight days of little contact with Ginny, Harry was finally to the bursting point. Just as Hermione was about to drag Ginny off to get Ice Cream in Diagon Alley, Harry jumped in front of the door way and insisted on talking to her before she left.

"Ginny, please can I just talk to you for five minutes?" Harry asked desperately while still blocking the door way.

Ginny turn to look at Hermione and said, "You go on without me, I'll be right there." Hermione huffed loudly and vanished from the room.

"Okay Harry, what's up?" Ginny asked while walking over to the kitchen table to sit down.

Harry joined her and placed his hand on hers, feeling the ring resting on her finger. "How come you have been spending so much time with Hermione?"

"Oh, well…I really can't say anything; Hermione is planning on telling you and Ron in a few days." Ginny replied.

"So there is a reason for it, I just thought that you were avoiding me for some reason." Harry said.

"I would never do that! I've wanted to be here with you, but Hermione keeps insisting I go with her."

"Well, you have to get away tomorrow. It's your birthday and I want to take you out." Harry said with a huge grin.

"Oh, that would be perfect Harry; we can leave after your morning practice. I'm sure I can escape from Hermione. Or even better yet, you need to tell Ron to take Hermione out so she can't bug me." Ginny said excitedly.

"I can do that, I'm sure Ron would be thrilled to take her out, he's been just as upset as I have been the past few days. I wish Hermione would just go ahead and tell us, I mean it would have made all of this easier."

"It would have made what easier Harry?" Ginny asked.

"It would have made the waiting easier; I've been waiting to…" Harry froze; if he said that he had been waiting to get Ginny alone to fulfill the thoughts running through his head surely Ginny would not be impressed. He needed to word this carefully.

"What have you been waiting on, you could have talked to me when I was home." Ginny asked slightly confused.

Harry rubbed the back of his neck and got up from his chair. "Well, you know that night after the game, we….we umm…we had a moment. I was just hoping to spend some time with you, that's all." He was sure he would blow this if he didn't do it right, but he was also sure he was sounding like an idiot.

Ginny smiled, got up from her chair and wrapped her arms around Harry. "Calm down Harry, I know what you're talking about. Tomorrows my birthday and it will be the perfect time for us to be alone."

Harry smiled, "When you say alone, are we thinking about the same thing?"

"I sure hope so, or those lace knickers I bought will be a waste of money." Ginny winked, kissed Harry on the cheek and walked out the front door leaving Harry standing alone in the kitchen, very red in the face.

After the fiasco of letting Hermione plan his and Ginny's last date, Harry decided that he wasn't going to plan anything; he was just going to let the day happen. Planning such events was just too stressful; he was more relaxed when he was spontaneous. Besides it was Ginny's birthday they should do what she wanted.

The day of August eleventh started out normal enough; Harry got up and had a small breakfast with Ron while the girls still slept. Harry dressed and went to Quidditch practice, Ron went with him to watch, and they came home. It wasn't until they entered the front door did the day start to get interesting.

The moment Ron entered the door Ginny came rushing forward and pushed him back out it. "Ron, Hermione is waiting for you at the Burrow…I'll see you tonight." She pulled Harry into the apartment and slammed the door in Ron's face.

A faint, muffled voice came from the other side of the door. "Ok, happy birthday Ginny." which was followed by a loud crack as Ron Apparated.

Before Harry even had a chance to put down his training bag and broom Ginny had pinned him up against the wall. "Welcome home Harry, how was training?" And without waiting for an answer she wrapped her hands around his head and started kissing him passionately.

Harry had to push her off of him just so he could catch his breath. "Wow Ginny, can you at least let me get out of my training things before you attack me?" Harry said with a grin on his face.

Ginny huffily walked over to the couch and sat down. "Well then…go change."

Harry ran to his room and changed as quickly as he could. He stopped for a moment to look in the mirror and tidy his hair, with little success. He was just about to walk from the room when he remembered the small box sitting on his dresser. He rushed back over to his side of the room, picked up the box and pocketed it.

When he got back out to the living room Ginny was lying on the couch reading Witch Weekly. "Well Ginny, what do you want to do today?" Harry asked.

Ginny gave Harry a sinister grin. "I just thought we could hang out here. Maybe we could go get some dinner later tonight."

"Alright, sounds like a plan." Harry said and sat down on the couch at Ginny's feet.

The moment Harry sat down; he was suddenly attacked by a mass of ginger hair. Ginny had sat up, tossed her magazine to the floor and wrapped her arms around Harry. She pressed her lips against his and started to explore once more. Harry, shocked at first, quickly gave in to his desire to be with Ginny. This was exactly how he wanted to spend his day, but he felt to shy to admit it.

Ginny swung her legs over top of Harry's lap to get herself closer when she stopped kissing and started to giggle. "Umm…Harry…" She said with a huge smile and without looking she pointed down to his pants. "It's nice to know I can affect you so quickly." She said and started to giggle again.

Harry looked down at what she was pointing at and blushed a violent shade of red. "Oh…sorry." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the box he had put in there moments before. "This is for you."

It was Ginny's turn to blush, she suddenly found herself very embarrassed. "Oh! I thought….well…never mind." She took the present from Harry and leaned back on the couch. She opened it slowly and when she saw the contents an odd expression spread across her face. "A chocolate frog? You gave me a chocolate frog for my birthday?"

"Open it up and see why, you will get a kick out of it." Harry smiled.

Ginny, who was thoroughly confused, obeyed and opened the wrapper. The magic frog instantly jumped out and hopped off the couch, landing on the floor. When Ginny looked back at the package she realized that the collectors card inside had a photo of Harry on it.

"They put you on a famous wizard's card? Harry, that's so…so cool!" Ginny said while admiring the Harry on the card who was winking at her.

"I found it amusing, I know you don't have any photos of me and I thought you would like to have that at school. There is a bunch of rubbish about me on the back…nothing you don't already know mind you." Harry said while pointing to the back of the card.

"You know, I hadn't even thought about it until just now but it's going to odd going back to school and everyone knowing that we are seeing each other." Ginny said, still admiring the card as the Harry in the photo started flexing his muscles. Ginny laughed and showed Harry who looked repulsed with himself.

"I don't do that!" Harry said.

"I think he is trying to show off for me." Ginny smiled.

"The cheeky bugger, you don't like that do you Ginny?" Harry asked.

"I sort of do actually. I like a guy with muscles." Ginny replied. "Let me see yours."

Ginny tossed the box and famous wizard card on the table and turned her attention to the real Harry who was smiling at her. "Come on, let me see them." Ginny leaned over and slid her hands under his t-shirt and started to push his shirt off.

Harry was surprised at first at her sudden daring but didn't resist her. He reached down and pulled the shirt over his head to reveal a perfectly toned chest and arms. Harry teasingly flexed his chest muscles and laughed. Ginny started running her hands over his abs as she continued to kiss him, this time planting kisses down his neck chest.

Harry wrapped his hands around her lower back and pusher her into him tightly. The feeling of Ginny touching his bare skin was sending chills down his spine that he only wanted to increase. He ran his hands up her back as he kissed her neck. Ginny stopped suddenly and looked intensely into his eyes. She shifted herself so she could swing her leg over top of him and found herself straddling him on the couch.

Ginny smiled and said, "You want to see my muscles?" Harry just smiled in reply and watched in awe as she pulled her top over her head to reveal a beautiful black lace bra. Ginny wasn't lying when she said she had muscles, because Harry found himself running his hands down her well toned arms.

Just when Harry wrapped his arm around her once more she pushed away from him and stood up. "Ginny what's wrong?" Harry asked. She just smiled at him, and to Harry's amazement she started to unbutton her jeans. She pushed her jeans off and flung them on the table, revealing the matching black lace knickers she had gloated about the previous day.

Ginny once again found herself straddling Harry, trailing kisses down his neck. Their breathing was becoming heavy as their passion and desire increased. This was the most amazing thing either of them had ever felt. The feeling of bare skin, the increasing pressure, the pure love that was flowing threw them; it was too much for them to bear.

Almost on pure instinct Harry anchored his hand on Ginny's back and placed her on the couch so he was hovering over her. Harry started to kiss down her neck, then her chest and stomach. Before Harry knew it Ginny was removing his pants and pushing them down his legs. She tossed them across the room and let Harry continue his kissing.

Before to long all clothing was lost, forgotten on the floor as Harry and Ginny explored each other for the first time. Though enjoying these new sensations the greatest part of the experience is the connection between them, the joy of being together. First times are always awkward and this was no exception but they still enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
