Chapter 16

Draco Malfoy stared at Ginny with his mouth hanging open. He then turned his gaze to Harry.

"Even I thought you could do better than that Potter," he said, sneering.

"Oh Malfoy, don't be jealous that I got something better than your cow of a girlfriend Pansy. You'll just have to accept the fact that I got to kiss the most gorgeous girl in school, alright?" said Harry, smiling and stepping next to Ginny. He put his arm around her shoulders and gave an even more broad and cocky smile.

"How dare you-I'll-you-her-pay for this!" Draco sputtered stupidly.

Ginny didn't blush or look away. She smoothly took Harry's hand into hers and smiled the sweetest smile she could muster up at Draco.

"Give Pansy my regrets, I mean, my regards. Alright? Bye bye!" she shut the compartment door quickly and breathed out a sigh of relief. She noticed she was still holding Harry's hand, but she didn't let go. She did blush at this time however. She looked into Harry's eyes and summoned up all her courage.

"Harry, when I kissed you, I was going out with someone, but the morning after I kissed you, I broke up with him. I broke up with him, because, well, I still have feelings for you."

She suddenly looked mortified at the fact that she was holding Harry's hand and tried to pull away.

"I'm so sorry! I'm so stupid! I'm-"

Harry grabbed firmly of her hand and pressed her into his chest and cut her off by lowering his mouth onto hers. They had both thought about this for weeks. Harry had been thinking of her smooth, pink lips that always tasted a bit like strawberries. He felt as if he had never known warmth until he kissed Ginny. He made her feel warm, from the little hairs on his neck, down to his toes. Ginny felt the same. She felt as if she could never be this happy, but at the same time she was terrified this was all a dream. But she didn't dare pinch herself to find out. If this was all a dream, she never wanted it to end. She would love to stay here an eternity, forever being held, caressed and kissed by Harry. Harry ran a hand through Ginny's hair and was surprised to find it as soft as silk. Ginny shivered and let out a small moan. Ginny placed her hands upon Harry's chest and caught a whiff of his scent that almost made her faint. After a long while, they both pulled back, but reluctantly. Ginny's eyes were misty and dazed, and Harry's were cloudy and full of wonder, and they were both drawing in deep, shaky, ragged breathes.

"Is this a dream?" he asked, smiling.

"I was just wondering the same thing," Ginny said, chuckling lightly.

"Well, we'll just have to kiss again to make sure it's real, won't we?" he said, smiling mischievously.

"I'm pretty sure this is real, but just to be sure," she replied, smiling also.

Once again, they indulged themselves in the pure ecstasy of each other.
