"You…" Harry seemed to be taking it better than Ginny had thought, but she knew this was only the beginning. "You… cheated on me…with SNAPE?" Ginny nodded, not knowing what else to do. Tears were already forming in her still puffy eyes. The worst was yet to come. "The only thing about this that makes me happy, other than the fact that it wasn't Malfoy, is that you told me."
Ginny's mouth dropped to the floor. "Do you still…"
"Love you? Of course… the thing about love is that it's an unbreakable bond. However, I am mad. Your relationship with…err… him is over I take it, right?"
Ginny nodded once more. "Yes…" she mumbled.
"Is he the one who upset you?" He didn't wait for the answer. Harry already knew that it was. "We'll have to get our revenge then. But Ginny, let me ask you something first."
"Harry, you can ask me anything." She smiled, and for the first time in a few months, she felt a spark between her and Harry.
"Ok, well I have two questions, actually. One: How long was this going on? And Two: How far did you actually…err… 'go' with …him."
"About three months. And no, Harry… I didn't have sex with him."
" I didn't ask if you…"
"Yes, but it's what you were thinking." He slightly smiled and took a few, very small, steps toward her. She was still irresistible to him. He looked into her richly colored eyes, which were no longer filled with threatening tears. "I'm so sorry, Harry…"
Harry Potter took a couple more, bigger, steps toward Ginny Weasley and wrapped his arms around her perfect waist. "It's all right… I guess I just have to be more careful and turn into the green-eyed monster of jealousy."
"Actually, that wont be too hard…since you already have green eyes." She giggled and he kissed her forehead. "Happy Christmas, Harry…"
"Happy Christmas, m' love." He pressed his lips to hers. She smelled like vanilla and tasted like strawberries. The kiss deepened and turned more passionate. I will get revenge on Snape for trying to steal my girl, my love. I will… if it's the last thing I do.
Hermione and Ron had already gone down to breakfast by the time Ginny and Harry finished having their eventful discussion. They arrived in the Great Hall hand in hand. Harry, leading the way, purposely guided her past the teacher's table where Severus Snape was sitting, alone.
Ginny glared at him as she walked by, holding Harry's hand. Snape looked as if he'd been shot. Serves him right, she thought, after treating me like that and all…
"So," Ginny started talking to Harry as they sat down to breakfast. "what are you going to do to Snape now that you…know?"
"Well, I want to get my revenge, but I also want to do something for more reasons than just revenge. But I'll talk to you later about it. So meet me in The Room of Requirement after you're finished eating."
"Aren't you going to eat?" she inquired, highly suspicious about what he was planning.
"No, I'm not really hungry. I'll see you in The Room of Requirement!" he called as he walked out of the Great Hall.
She picked at her food for what seemed like thirty minutes while lost in thought. I love Harry, I honestly do. I wonder what he's planning… Ugh, I can't tell Harry that I've fallen for Snape. I mean, I'm pissed at Severus, but I can't help the way I feel about him. He was such a jerk to do that to me. I want… I need…revenge.
"Are you all right?" Hermione stopped talking to Ron, and turned to Ginny.
"Yeah, Hermione. I'm fine…honest, so don't worry."
"Did you tell him?"
"Of course I did…and he took it surprisingly well. He's in The Room of Requirement right now…and I'm supposed to meet him there in a little bit. I wonder what he's planning… Do you have any ideas?"
"Not a clue." Hermione answered, and then went back to arguing with Ron about the importance of Quidditch in a functional wizarding society.
Severus Snape saw Harry and Ginny walk past him holding hands. I bet she didn't tell him. Typical Potter would freak! I bet you I can get her back… just you watch. A bout of jealousy was rushing through him at the site of Harry holding Ginny. That was Snape's territory.
