"Harry?" came floating through the library door.
Harry had been sitting in the Black's library on one of the big windowsills with a huge tome on his lap but he had stopped trying to concentrate hours ago and just stared out the window, out into the forever enduring garden, blooming, strangely for such a dark house, bright flowers of all sorts.
He had been thinking of all different things, Dumbledore, Sirius, Voldermort, the attack the other day and Ginny. He had been so scared about leaving her to fight heartless Death Eaters but she had shown how strong she really was.
He thought of the kisses they had stolen when others were not looking, ever since that first kiss in the kitchen. Unfortunately the second had a rather embarrassing result for Harry.
Flashback
"Harry, are you wearing lip gloss?"
Harry who had been eating a bit of sausage at the time choked, causing his eyes to water and his face turn red. A few thumps on the back by a 'just here to help' grinning Bill, Harry got his breathing back into control.
With eyes still wide and now sweating a little he turned to Ron with a rather convincing bewildered face "What the hell do you mean Ron? Of course I'm not wearing lip gloss!" he said exclaimed in horror. It took all his might to keep the blush that tried so hard to creep onto his cheeks.
The ever dense Ron stared at Harry's lips "They are all shiny and glossy, like Hermione's…" He had started to drift off in daydreams and Harry thought he could make his escape but it seemed luck was once again still not liking him.
"Now that you mention it Ron, it seems you are right" Fred said peering very close to Harry's face.
Harry not liking how everyone was crowding round him, backed his chair up away from the table only to hit something on the way. Looking at what it was he found himself staring once again in chocolate brown eyes.
He gave a pleading look to Ginny to save him and rushed to get behind her knowing the brothers were much more scared of Ginny than himself.
"Ron, Fred stop being silly. Of course Harry isn't wearing lip gloss, why would he?" Ginny said sternly
"But his lips-" Ron started again, obviously not grasping that the conversation was to be moved on.
"- are normal, do you want to prove it?" Ginny interrupted
Ron's face was contorted with confusion then a mixture of realisation and horror kicked in front.
'That shut him up' Ginny said pleased with herself. She may be the smallest, youngest and the other girl but she knew how to control her brothers. She had them wrapped round her little finger.
She heard a sigh of relief coming from behind her making the hair on the back of her neck stand up on end. She resisted the temptation to shiver and turn around and kiss Harry in front of everyone. No everyone would have to wait.
But maybe not everyone, whilst most were looking at Ginny and Harry, Hermione's face had lit up in realisation. She knew why Ron thought that about Harry, and why Ginny was so adamant in forgetting this conversation. Of course, it was obvious. Harry and Ginny were together. She had seen them flirting sure but she didn't think anything had come of it yet. Maybe a talk was in order.
Breaking out of his thoughts, Harry turned his head to meet the gaze of the petite red head standing in the crack of the door. "You know you can come in Gin, I promise I don't bite" he said grinning mischievously
Ginny just rolled her eyes in response and walking in amazingly long strides for such a short person she sat down on the other side of the window so both of there shoes were touching.
"What you doing in here Harry, don't you remember what day it is?" Ginny inquired. She had been searching all over the place for Harry and with a big place like this there were so many places to go. She didn't expect to find him in the library seeing as how almost every book was Dark Arts.
Unknown to Harry she had been given the task of keeping Harry out of the way whilst Mrs Weasley and the boys set everything up. Of course today was July 31st, Harry's Birthday. Mrs Weasley was cooking up a huge feast big enough to feed the whole of Gryffindor. The boys meanwhile were setting up the banners and things for the party later. She of course was more than happy to help distract Harry.
"Er…" Harry thought carefully, his head was so full it was hard to get a coherent thought come to the front of his brain. It hit him, the 31st, His Birthday. "Wow, my birthday! I forgot!"
Ginny couldn't help but laugh at Harry "Well done Harry now, what do you do on birthdays?" Ginny teased.
"Um…Opening presents, eat till you explode and get a kiss from a beautiful red head" Harry said cheekily, surprising Ginny when he leaned forward catching Ginny's lips with his.
"Oh my god I knew it!" a voice squealed from the doorway
Harry and Ginny broke apart so fast they hit their heads on the wall. Turning to see who was at the door and had caught them in the act they saw their bushy haired friend Hermione standing at the door with wide eyes and a huge grin on her face.
"You two! I knew it! Breakfast yesterday confirmed it, are you two going out? Why didn't you tell us? Oh who knows? How long?" Hermione rambled on till Ginny politely put a hand up in the air to silence the excited teen.
It seemed to Ginny that Harry was still trying to comphrend Hermione's squeals translating them to English so he could answer. She decided to save him the effort and answered for the both of them
"No we aren't going out, we didn't want anyone to know till we had talked about it, no one knows at all, well except for you now, and a couple of days, since you lot went off shopping"
"I've been meaning to talk to you about that actually Gin" Harry interrupted before Hermione could get a word in. He gave her a pointed glace hoping that she would translate it to 'please could you leave us alone for a moment'
It seemed Hermione's intellect never failed her and she was rushing out the door mumbling nonsense "Yes…yes of course, oh how sweet…" she was still muttering when she closed the door.
Harry breathed a deep breath, letting it out slowly to calm his nerves. He grabbed Ginny's hand gently and pulled her back over to the windowsill.
"Gin, I think it's pretty obvious that there is something going on here and that the way we feel are mutual agreed?" he watched for a nod from Ginny to confirm his. "I think I've fallen in love with you Gin, will you be my girlfriend?"
Ginny with a big grin plastered on her face, the familiar flicker in her eye she replied "Of course I will! I love you too!"
They leaned once more to meet again but they never did.
"HARRY! GINNY! COME ON DOWN FOR DINNER!" bellowed Mrs Weasley from the bottom of the stairs.
Harry sighed in defeat and stealing a quick peck on the lips he stood up helping Ginny down, linking his hands with hers.
"Later" was all Ginny said before starting to walk out the room.
Once they reached the kitchen they once again reluctantly let their hands fall to their sides and opened the door
"SURPRISE"
Harry jumped a little at the noise. He looked around the once dreary cold kitchen. It was now clean, painted and had various balloons and banners all around the room. What was most spectacular was the food. The table was bending under the weight of it all. Sandwiches, sweets, cakes, buns. The main cake being a triple layered chocolate cake, Harry's favourite.
"Wow, Thank you everyone this, this is amazing!" Harry exclaimed. He noticed that the back door was opened and a table was sitting just outside covered in numerous different sized parcels and packages.
Harry was speechless to say the least; He let himself be dragged by Ginny to an empty seat where a huge plate of food was already out for him with a bit of everything.
½ Hour later everyone was stuffed to the brim and sighing contently Harry smiled watching everyone chat.
"I think its time to move outside now, Im sure Harry dear would like to open his presents" Mrs Weasley said smiling brightly.
For the next hour Everyone sat around a large table watching Harry open present after present; books, clothes, money, vouchers, more books, parchments and quills and some presents from it seemed loyal fans that he had to hide quickly before the other boys caught a lot at them. Ginny's present was by far the best he had received. A necklace that had a silver chain with a silver miniature dog which very clearly resembled Sirius's animagus form. It had brought a lump to Harry's throat remembering what Sirius had said to him in third year after rescuing him from the Dementors "the ones who love us never really leave us. And you can always find them; in here (puts his hand over Harry's heart)". The chain sat comfortably right at his heart.
"Thank you Gin" he said softly
After all the presents everyone separated, chatting in groups, enjoying the sunshine. Harry had started to get nervous when he saw the Weasley Brothers huddled together.
He got even more terrified when they called him over.
Harry slowly walked over to the shaded area down near the bottom of the garden. There were a lot more trees down this area of the garden; it was a lot wilder.
"What is it guys?" Harry asked nervously
None of them heard or saw a smaller definitely more feminine red head follow them and hid behind a tree.
"Well as you have probably guessed, we have been testing you to see how loyal you are about Ginny. Of course we didn't want to do this but we need to protect her"
"Um. Sure guys…"
"We've decided to let you go and give you our permission to go out with Ginny" Charlie said smiling almost smugly
"Oh gee thanks, I'm glad this has been sorted" Harry said seriously. Inside he was laughing; he had fooled them and got the girl. Not that they need to know that.
He saw a flicker of red catch his eye and seeing as how all the brothers were in front of him he, confused, turned his head very slightly to see to his amusement one very red faced, pissed off Ginny sneaking behind the boys.
"But! If you hurt her in anyway shape or form Mr Harry James Potter be prepared for suffering. You hurt her and we will hurt you" Charlie threatened, the others boys making murmurs of agreeing.
"We won't be afraid of being much worse than this last week, I'm sure you'll remember what we did"
Harry just nodded in response trying to keep the smirk off his face. "What do you think Gin, should we would be scared?" he asked looking over Fred's shoulder
The boys froze turning around slowly, their eyes meeting with the terrifying sight of an angry Ginny. Her face red as her hair which was waving around her with the wind. The air crackled with suppressed magic. She spoke with an eerily calm voice
"You did what?"
