Back at Hogwarts, Lily was welcoming her Son back. She was already 5 months pregnant by now. If she wanted to, it would be obvious, but she hid her small bump under her flattering lilac dress.

Harry had only been away for a weekend, but she was so happy to see him back.

"I am so glad you're back, darling", he pulled him in a very tight squeezed hug. Her perfume crawled up Harry's nose. She smelled like home, but not that kind of romantically home that he smelled in Ginny. More like a protective home. A home he could always come to.

"Hey Mum", he smiled and stepped back a tiny bit. Ginny had entered behind him, almost stuck to his hand, and now that hand caught Lilys attention.

"Ginny!", she announced, and now grabbed her in a hug too. She knew such gushing behavior from her own mother, so it wasn't really a surprise to her.

"Hello", she nodded politely and looked up to her.

"How was your weekend?", Lily smiled and surveyed the both teens in front of her.

"Good.", Harry nodded and pulled Ginny closer to his right side. Her arm now touched his and his heartbeat got higher, which surprised him.

In a bit of inner shock, he looked over to the red-headed Weasley. A strand of her hair was tugged back with a hair clip in a light blue tone.

Her eyes still focused on his mother, but the brownish shimmer of her eyes glanced into the room.

Her nose was small and fit perfectly into her beautiful face.

Within a second, he felt a flash rushing from his head to his toes.

He stared at her, still feeling the electric streams in all of his limbs.

She was beautiful, which was already obvious to him by now, but the old brick walls of the castle somehow made her even more beautiful.

Ginny now realized Harry's look on her and glanced over, which made her smile.

"Ur Mum", she mouthed and let Harry fall back into reality.

"We had a wonderful weekend", he shook up the feelings and answered his mother properly now, "how are you.. two?"

The young wizard pointed at the hidden bump. Not that obvious, but Lily understood.

"Fine. Severus is really cute. He helps me so much lately…", she gave the intertwined hands a second look and said: "why don't you come over and have Dinner with us tonight? I guess Severus wants to know about your trip too."

"We would love to!", Ginny answered, rushing to avoid Harry overthinking it.

"Lovely. See you two at 6!", she greeted and stepped back into the corridor to Dumbledores office.

"Are you okay?", Ginny looked over at Harry, who fell back into staring at her. When did she become so beautiful? She was beautiful every moment of the day, but somehow she got even more beautiful.

"No. I-I really want to kiss you right now", Harry mumbled in his trance of butterfly-feelings.

Ginny frowned a bit, because she got confused by his words. Not confused by the idea of kissing him, but because of his words.

"What are you waiting for?", she finally said and felt his hands grabbing her waist. He pulled her into his arms and smacked his lips onto hers. It all happened so quickly that she had no time to catch her breath.

They stood there in the middle of the hallway at the entrance of the school-castle.

"God. I really love you Ginny.", Harry moved away his lips, but only so much, so he could talk.

"Do you?", she asked, quiet.

"Yes!", his pupils widened in fear of loosing her.

"I want you to show me, Harry", she said and stepped back. It seemed pretty theatrical.

"What do you want?"

"You!", she mumbled and walked away to her Girlfriends at the edge of the giant staircase.

She let him stand there all alone, flying by all these feelings, but also overthinking again.

"Mate..", Ron placed his hand on Harry's shoulder, "why are you standing here so lonely?"

"Uhm.. what.. sorry?", he swallowed a bit and looked at his best friend.

"Where's Ginny?", he asked back.

"With her friends", Harry pointed to the stairs. His face got pale.

"Are you alright?", Ron suspiciously blinked a bit.

"Ron, please forget that Ginny is your sister for once", Harry said and grabbed both of his shoulders, so he stood opposite of his face.

"What? Why?", now he moved up his left eyebrow.

"I think she wants to.. you know? Sleep with me", Harry mumbled and felt shivers running over his back.

Ron calmly closed his eyes, took a deep breath and pulled away from Harry's hands.

"No! Harry Potter, no!", he whispered.

"I know I am your best friend, but no! I am not going to philosophize about my sisters… love life, no!"

His eyes opened!

"This is serious!", Harry felt his lungs tightened.

She had said nothing more than "you", but it made him panic instantly.

"That's silly!", Ron let out his breath between his teeth.

"I can't do that!", Harry moved his hand through his hair, prodding his glasses back up his nose a bit.

"Everything at a certain time!", Weasley pushed his lips together.

"What's on time?", Hermione ran onto Ron's arm. Luna Right behind her.

"Hello Guys", she smiled friendly and pushed her wand back into her robe pocket.

She was wearing gaudy light blue earrings and her blond hair was in a bushy ponytail.

"Luna", Harry nodded, Ron gave Hermione a brief kiss.

"That's nice", she smiled to Hermione.

"I always knew that you'd be together one day"

"See?", Harry looked at Ron, "I wasn't the only one"

"Alright.. we're going to bring up our stuff. See you at dinner?", Ron looked over at Harry.

"Gin and I are having dinner with my mum… and him"

"Brilliant!", Hermione laughed and started walking off to her trunk, together with Luna.

Weasley gave him another strict look, that made Harry understand to better not hurt Ginny in any way.

But she started it. She started this confusing game of "show me you love me" and it was his turn to finish it.

——

It was almost five when night was already over the castle. Harry spent the entire afternoon finding a way to admit his feelings.

He knocked on the girls' dormitory as Ginny opened. She was wearing a dress. Not a very fancy one, but she looked absolutely stunning.

Harry also dressed up. He was wearing a fancy white shirt and black pants. Almost suit-pants

"Mrs. Weasley. Ready for the date?", he smiled and reached out for her hand.

"It's a date?", she asked, confused.

"Actually it's dinner with my utterly pregnant mother and Professor Snape, but we can make it one.", he smirked as Ginny stepped out of the door, to close it behind her.

"You look gorgeous", he said silently, and leaned over to kiss her slowly. His heart ran again.

"Thanks, you too", she smiled.

"So.. wanna see the lake?", Harry asked.

"What? But it's curfew soon!", she noticed.

"But guess who's controlling it?", he moved his eyebrows up.

"Snape! Ahh, yes, Snape", she laughed.

So they both went out of the castle to the bank of the giant lake. It was a beautiful night.

They still had about an hour before they're supposed to be at Lilys.

It was march, so it was a bit cool, but they didn't mind.

They sat down on a rock, glancing at the water.

"It's so nice being in silence!", she said and took a deep breath, "growing up in a such crowded house can make you crazy sometimes"

"Yes.. even for me it's too crowded there sometimes", Harry agreed

"So he really allowed you to stay out so long?", she asked, searching for his hand between them.

"No, I didn't ask. He simply has to be nice to me", he laughed and grabbed her hand that still searched for his.

"It's deceitful, I know"

"Ginny, darling", he looked over at his girlfriend.

"We should talk about earlier"

"Did I confuse you?", she laughed deliberately.

"Actually.. yes!", he admitted and nodded.

"It's fine, Harry. I see you understood my point.", she looked into his face for a second, but looked away right after

"I did?"

"You kissed me because you wanted to, not because I started it", a breeze of wind rushed through her red, straight hair.

She fixed it, by stroking a streak of hair behind her ears. Now he saw her small, shiny earrings.

"That's all I wanted", she smiled and moved her eyelids up, so her light brown eyes glanced directly into his.

A five pound heavy rock dropped off Harry's heart. There were no such things as love making involved in her word.

"If that's all, you can have me every-time you want", he slipped over and kissed her cheek.
