Chapter Five : Morning After and the New Day

Ginny Weasley woke up in her living room. Slightly confused, she sat up and heard someone grunt in their sleep. She looked over and the night before came back to her as she gazed at the person next to her. Harry looked so cute in his sleep; I can't believe he stayed all night, and on my couch! She thought. She ruffled his hair and headed for her bathroom. She quietly shut her doors and turned the nozzle on the tub. She let the water warm up and she added some bubble bath, her favorite, tiger lily scented. She let it steam up her whole bathroom, and finally turned the water off. She stripped down and stepped into her bath. She had just barely gotten situated under the bubbles when her bathroom door opened, and in stepped Harry.

His jaw dropped and his cheeks flushed. "Ginny, I...You're…Wait…You're…" he stammered.

Ginny laughed, "Yes Harry, I'm in the tub, and I'm naked." Harry realized what she had said and at least had the decency to hold his hand up over his eyes but he continued the stand there in the bathroom.

"Ginny, I'm, I mean, I'm really, I just…I'm…" Ginny stopped him,

"Yes, you're still standing in my bathroom, as I am trying to bathe." Harry flushed again, and ran out of the bathroom in blur of black hair and glasses. Ginny burst out laughing and washed herself up. She got out of the bath and pulled her robe on. It was short and yellow, but very comfy.

She found Harry sitting on her couch dazed and looked a bit confused. "Something wrong Harry?" She walked into her kitchen and opened the refrigerator to pull out the eggs and milk. She started making eggs and Harry came in and sat down.

"Gin, I'm sorry, I had no idea that you were in there! I mean I should have knocked or waited, or something, I'm sorry," He sighed exasperated a bit. Ginny giggled, and slid the scrambled eggs onto two separate plates and sat the fresh eggs on the table for the two of them.

"Harry it's no big deal really, I mean it was an accident. And we are both adults now, so I can forgive you now." The two ate their breakfast in silence until Ginny caught Harry staring at her. Ginny blushed, "What now?"

"I was thinking about last night, you said you wanted to see America. Ginny, I'm serious, I can take you there, Any time, one word, and I'll get us there." This caught Ginny off guard, She hadn't seen Harry in ages, and now he was talking about whisking her off to America, she dropped her fork.

"Harry, it's been so long since we last seen each other, is it really a good ide—" Harry cut her off,

"Ginny, I love you, I always have, and I never realized how much until I was gone and couldn't see you. I always thought of you as Ron's little sister, but somehow, I've realized just how much you mean to me. Ginny I love you. I've loved you since your first year at Hogwarts." Ginny's mouth was hanging open, she couldn't believe what he was saying. She had waited years to hear Harry say these words, and now he was finally saying them, she was speechless. "Ginny, will you come to America with me? For me, for us?" Harry asked, holding her hands in his.

"I..I don't know what to say Harry." She stammered.

"Say you will, say you will and we can go and be together." Harry said, squeezing her hands gently. Ginny gazed deep into his eyes, trying to see if he was joking but found nothing but care, and love, and warmth. She smiled "Harry, I'd love to go to America with you!'

Harry embraced her and kissed all over her face, he picked her up and spun her around in her kitchen! They laughed like they hadn't laughed before and they kissed each other, rather passionately. He sat her down and held her hands. "When do you want to go? We can go as soon as you'd like, of course we'd have to tell your family, and Hermione, and well, everyone!" Harry exclaimed. Ginny laughed, Harry had asked her to go to America with him, everything seemed to be finally falling into place. Ginny couldn't have wanted anything more. She thought for a moment.

"Lets go next month! It will be spring, we can spend the warm seasons there, and come back…together."Ginny sqeezed his hands at the finish of her sentence, Harry smiled at her, and caused her heart to leap. She kissed his cheek and ran to her room to get dressed, she was going to tell her mother about this! She would be thrilled for her! She sang joyously as she dressed, and listened to Harry's shower water through the closed bathroom door.
