Chapter 4
"What are you looking at?" Harry asked angrily.
Ginny's suddenly frowned. "Nothing… What's your problem?"
"You are."
Ginny glared at him.
"Will you two be quiet? I am trying to study." Hermione whispered across the table.
"Sorry." Ginny whispered and grabbed Harry's tie and pulled him out of the library.
"What are you doing?" he cried trying to grab his tie from her grasp.
Girls were staring at Ginny with jealousy as she dragged him down the hall and into an empty room. It was small… actually more like a closet. It had mops and brooms all over.
They were quiet for a second as Ginny tried to find the light.
"Luminous." Ginny cried angrily.
Her wand lit up and she shoved it in Harry's face. Harry squinted and looked at her nervously.
"What-"
"What the hell are you talking about, I'm your problem!" she yelled in his face, he saw her brown eyes blazing with anger.
"I…"
"I haven't done anything!"
Harry was stunned when he saw a tear slide down her cheek.
"Gin?"
"I didn't do anything." She whispered. She stepped back away from him and suddenly fell back onto the floor, dropping her wand, the light disappearing.
Harry heard a thud but couldn't see where she had fallen.
"Ginny?"
"I think my butt is stuck in a bucket."
Harry laughed. He pulled out his wand. "Luminous."
He saw her covered in dust and sitting on the dirty floor. She was holding her hand and he saw blood dripping from her palm.
He kneeled down next to her. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's just a little cut." She whispered and stood, trying to brush the dust off of her legs.
"Let me see it."
"No, really, it's fine."
Harry grabbed her hand. He pulled a handkerchief, and pressed it against her hand.
"Well…. Aren't you the gentlemen? Carrying around a handkerchief for ladies in distress."
"You know me." He winked.
"Yeah. I do." She said seriously.
He looked up into her eyes. She did know him. Better than anyone. Better than Ron, Hermione… anyone. She knew him the best.
"Ginny…"
"I know. Just don't say it okay." She said and looked away from him.
"Say what, Ginny?" he whispered his hand against her cheek turning her head so she was looking at him again.
What she saw in his eyes almost made her cry again.
He leaned forward slowly and kissed her.
His lips were soft and he was so gentle. Ginny put her hands on the back of his neck and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss. Harry's wand fell as his hands found her waist. Suddenly the door opened they parted quickly, Harry scrambled to find his wand.
