Chapter 5
Ginny's eyes fluttered closed as Harry closed the space between them. It was heaven and hell at the same time for Harry, and it was everything a girl could hope for to Ginny. The kiss was soft and sweet, and yet loving all the same. Ginny had her arms around Harry and just as he was placing his hands on her face, he seemed to realize what he was doing and broke away.
He leaned against the tree, his hands in his hair. "Ginny, I . . . I can't do this." He finished lamely. Ginny walked over to him and settled herself into his arms, which he wrapped around her. "I know." She whispered. They stayed that way for a while, watching the rain drops drip from the tree branches, until Ginny looked up at him.
"There could be another way . . . " she said slowly. Harry looked down into her eyes. They were filled with mischief. He sighed. "Gin, I'm watched like a hawk as it is, me being the boy who lived and all."
Ginny continued to look up at Harry in the same way, then smiled. "So we keep it a secret, we break the rules. I happen to know that a few years ago, you weren't afraid of anything." Harry gave her a knowing look and replied, "I'm afraid of you getting expelled and me losing your job, but hey, I'm that kind of risky guy."
Ginny smirked, "Risky enough to kiss me again?" Harry turned Ginny around to face him properly. "Risky enough to break the rules, keep our relation ship a secret, and-" he paused tilting Ginny's chin up toward his face. "Risky enough to kiss you again." She barely had time to grin before her lips were caught in yet another kiss with Harry.
"Ouch!", Ginny muttered, having accidentally banged her foot on the staircase. She had just walked into the castle with Harry, and they were both, with very much difficulty, walking under the invisibility cloak. "You're a teacher Harry. You don't even have to hide, so why the hell are you walking with me under here?"
"Because technically, if a teacher roams Hogwarts at night, they have to have a reason in doing so." Ginny stopped walking. "Found your reason," she said suddenly. "You're here to get rid of Peeves!" Ginny pushed Harry out from under the cloak as the poltergeist came from around the corner.
"Well, if it isn't Potty wee Potter!" he said as he flipped over in mid air. "Why don't you just go to hell Peeves?" Harry said, as he rubbed his back where Ginny had pushed him. Peeves didn't say anything, but instead emptied an entire ink bottle over his head. Harry lashed out in anger, but Peeves had already zoomed away, laughing merrily.
"Happy?" Harry asked as ink dripped down his face. Ginny stifled a snicker as she pulled the cloak back around Harry. Neither of them said a word until they reached the Gryffindor tower. "GĖnight." Ginny whispered into his ear, as she shrugged the cloak off. It was only when Harry was creeping back to his quarters when he realized something. "I love Ginny." He stated aloud.
It was times like this that Ginny knew being Head girl would really matter. She was walking up the steps, passing all of the dormitories, and stopped at the very top where both the girl, and boys' staircases met. "The only cloud in my bright sunny day is Colin," Ginny thought when she saw the his door next to hers. Then she smiled. "At least I know that Harry is mine now. Besides, he knows I don't feel that way about Colin . . . I think."
Ginny put her thoughts away as she opened the door. It had a password setting that Ginny knew would be useful later. Deciding to set the password the next day, Ginny opened her trunk that lay by the bed. It was a small room, just larger then the one she had at home, but it had a small chest of drawers, a night stand, and a door that she supposed led into the bathroom.
Too tired to brush her teeth and wash her face, Ginny threw on one of Charlie's old T-Shirts and flopped onto the comfortable four-poster. Drawing the hangings closed, Ginny hugged her pillow and closed her eyes. She fell asleep almost immediately, dreaming of Harry and the first Defense lesson the next morning.
The next morning, Ginny awoke to a loud knocking on her door. Rubbing her eyes, she crawled out of bed and slowly opened the door, only to jump back startled. Colin stood outside the door, his eyes wide as he looked at Ginny. It was then that Ginny realized how much the oversized shirt she was wearing actually covered. Though large and loose, the hemline stopped around two inches below Ginny's knickers.
Colin seemed to notice as well, because his eyes trailed down Ginny's body and only came back up when she spoke. "What are you doing here?" she asked, thoroughly annoyed. Colin turned red. "I came to ask you if you wanted to come down to breakfast with me." Ginny sighed. "Sorry Colin, I promised to sit with Luna." Then she gave him a fake smile and closed the door silently.
This was getting more then annoying. It was now disturbing! She was in love with Harry for gods sake! Ginny stopped horrified. "Did I just say that?" she thought. "Oh my God. I love Harry!" she smiled heartily and opened her trunk. She pulled out the school uniform, and looked at it partly upset. If she wanted to look her best for Harry, how was she going to do wearing this?
Harry woke up to his alarm clock ringing in his ear. He had a smile on his face. Now why is that? Then Harry remembered with a start. He loved Ginny! Harry rolled of the bed and stumbled into the bathroom.
He leaned against the counter and got a good look of himself in the mirror. He definitely needed to shave, and also vowed to try to do something to his hair, but first things first. After a quick shower, Harry wrapped a towel around his waist and got out his wand. Muttering a quick spell, the stubble that had formed on his chin disappeared.
After running a hand over his freshly shaved face, he brushed his teeth and headed over to his trunk to pick out something to wear. One of the advantages that teachers had over students was the fact that they had no uniform.
He grinned, and took out a pair of dark blue jeans, along with a red long-sleeved button down shirt that was a little tight around his stomach, showing the slightest cleavage of muscle. A pair of Black trainers completed his look, along with black light weight robes. The last thing he did was run some Gel through his hair to get rid of the windblown look and replace it with windblown spikes. Finally, he left the room for breakfast.
Ginny who was running slightly late, had put the uniform on and decided to at least do something with her hair and face. Her hair was easy. All she did was brush shiner into her hair that made it gleam. As for her face, Ginny preferred the natural look. She put on brown eyeshadow, and mascara. In her opinion, eye liner was for nighttime only. Finishing her look with a small amount of pink lip gloss, Ginny left her room for breakfast.
Harry was looking over the crowd of students, trying to catch sight of Ginny. However, she didn't seem to be there yet, so he helped himself to a plateful of eggs and sausage. When Ginny finally made her appearance in the great hall, Harry started to choke on the mouthful of sausage he had been chewing. She looked Beautiful, and her hair caught the light of the floating candles. He just couldn't help but stare.
Ginny walked into the great hall and caught harry's eye. She knew they had agreed to keep their relationship private, but she almost ran up and kissed him right the and there. "Why, Why, Why, Why, Why!" both Harry and Ginny thought. As Ginny was sitting down, she heard a voice next to her quietly say as if they wanted only her to hear,"If you really want to keep this relationship of yours a secret, I would act more convincing if I were you."
The red head spun around so fast, it was like a fire cracker exploded and she needed to escape. There, sitting next to her, smiling as if it were nothing, was Luna. "How did you. . .how-" But luna waved her hand.
"It was easy. The way Harry looked at you when you walked in, the way you looked at him, how you always end up with him, or disappear with him-" she stopped at the look on Ginny's face. "It wasn't all that obvious, I just made a lucky guess at the end. Besides, you weren't the only one looking at Harry this morning."
Ginny looked around the great hall. Now that she payed attention, almost every girl in the hall were staring at Harry with big eyes. It took almost all of Ginny's strength not to jump up and growl at them all that he was hers, and they should lay off. "You don't have to worry," Luna stated smoothly. "It's obvious that he only has eyes for you."
It was true too. Harry who was sitting up at the high table was oblivious to everyone except Ginny. He was having a hard time keeping his mouth from dropping and was now regretting wearing tight jeans. Why did he go with the fad?
Ginny smiled. "I should of known Harry wouldn't notice all of his attention. I mean, he's not that kind of guy." she turned to Luna. "You promise you won't tell anyone?" Luna nodded her head. "Your secret is safe with me." All of a sudden, Ginny paled. "Luna, I'm not very hungry. Want to go to first period early?"
"Wha- oh! Yeah, lets go." Ginny grabbed Luna's arm and quickly exited the great hall. They ran right past Colin who was heading toward them without another word. It all happened so fast, that harry hadn't even seen what had happened. All he saw was Colin sitting in the spot Ginny had been seated moments before. Then the fast conclusion came. Ginny had left to avoid Colin. Shaking his head, Harry finished his eggs and headed toward his classroom.
By the time he got there, most of the class was standing outside the door. "Alohamora.,"he said as he reached the door. As he let the class in, he tried to ignore the many pairs of girl eyes boring into his back. He sat in his desk chair, leaning back so it was on two legs, with his feet crossed on his desk.
When the bell rang, Harry kept in his current position, watching as two students ran inside the classroom, both out of breath. "We're sorry,"one breathed through his panting. "It's alright, just try to be on time next lesson," Harry replied, with an amused expression. The fact of it was, was that he was barley a year older then all of the students here, and yet, he was in charge.
He placed his feet back on the floor and walked to the front of the class. "I'm gonna take role now, so when I say your name, reply 'Here Professor Potter', okay?" The class nodded, and Harry sat on top of his desk.
"Alright, Abercrombie, Jack?"
"Here Professor Potter."
"Lovegood, Luna?"
"Here Professor Potter."
"Uh, Longwood, Cassie?"
"Here Professor Potter."
Harry paused and looked up. "Weasley, Ginevra?"
"Here Harry." Harry looked up, trying as hard as he could to keep a straight face. "Excuse me?"Everyone in the classroom was looking at Ginny and back at Harry with looks of interest. "I said, I was here Har-"
"When you talk to me, you call me Professor Potter, not Harry. Got that? Now I want you to come up here to the front of the classroom and tell the class what you are supposed to say." All Ginny had to do was look at Harry to know he was having a bit of fun, but it certainly wasn't funny. She decided she would get payback. This, meant war. She got up to the front of the class and cleared her throat. "Here Professor Harry."
Harry flashed Ginny a sexy smile that he knew drove her crazy. This was fun. "I would like to see you after class Miss Weasley, to discuss your horrible manners. Please sit down." Ginny turned to walk back to her seat, but then accidently on purpose knocked over Harry's quill. "Clumsy me." She said dramatically. Then, as she bent down to pick it up, she made sure that Harry got a full view of her butt.
"There you are," she said brightly, as she placed the quill back on the desk. Harry tugged at his shirt, unbuttoning the next two buttons, feeling suddenly very hot. He finished roll with his waist hidden under his desk, his pants feeling tight once again.
Throughout the rest of class time, Ginny and Harry continued their little "war" while the class just thought Ginny and Harry disliked each other. Luna just sat there knowingly, enjoying the free show. When finally the dismissal bell rang, Harry thought he was going crazy. Ginny had been so appealing the whole class, it took all of his strength not to do anything stupid.
The students ran out of the classroom, the last one closing the door behind them, leaving Harry and Ginny alone in the room. Ginny took her time gathering her books, and then walked slowly up to his desk. "You wanted to see me Professor Potter?" Harry strode around the desk so that he was in front of Ginny.
"I sure as hell did," he growled as he pulled Ginny towards him kissing her hard. She did this to him, and now she had to face the consequences. However, Ginny didn't seem to mind the consequences at all. She put her hands in his hair and kissed him back. They only broke apart when their lunges ached for air.
"How I'm going to survive this everyday, I definitely don't know." Ginny leaned against him, playing with his hair. "But," Harry continued, "People go through great lengths for the people that they love." Ginny stared up at him, straining her ears. "What did you say?"
Harry looked Ginny in the eye. "I said, I'm in love with you . . ." he kept his eye contact with Ginny, waiting for her to respond . . .
