Bite The Dust

Accidentally In Love

Yay new chapter! Fortunately, when I had the idea for this fic, I had a few songs in mind. So the first few chapters should come rather quickly. The rest of them depend on whether I'm in my groove, and whether I can find fitting songs… so if you want more chapters, you could always suggest a song/scene… winks I'm also looking for a beta, since this fic will be going on for a bit. So if anyone thinks they're up for the job, don't be afraid to speak up!

This chapter's HG. Hope everyone enjoys!

(Flashback)

Harry and Ginny were sitting on opposite armchairs, Harry racking his brain for answers to a Potions quiz, and Ginny reading silently. The two had become increasingly closer, considering all they had been through together. Ginny would often bring him out of whatever bad mood he was in, either by cheering him up or hitting him. Both worked for her.

So it was no surprise that this Saturday night found the two sitting in companionable silence. Ginny however, noticed that Harry would often glance up from his parchment to stare at her, a confused look present on his face.

>>>>>>>>>>

Harry Potter sat with one of his best friends, Hermione Granger, at the Gryffindor table in the Great Hall. Harry was telling Hermione about a conversation he had with Ginny, Ron Weasley's (his other best friend) younger sister, the previous night. "So she said 'what's the problem?'" Harry told his friend, remembering the events of the evening.

>>>>>>>>>>

(Flashback)

Harry's head snapped up in surprise at hearing her question, looking momentarily bewildered at being caught out. "What's the problem?" Harry glanced around the empty common room, inwardly debating whether to tell her or not. Deciding on the former, he continued. "I don't know… maybe I'm in love."

Ginny closed her book hurriedly, this was not exactly what she had expected. "Love?"

>>>>>>>>>>

Harry groaned, running his hands through his already messy black hair. Dropping his head on the table, he turned his face towards Hermione. "How much longer will it take to cure this?"

Hermione choked on her pumpkin juice, boys could be so dense sometimes. "Just to cure it?"

"'Cause I can't ignore it, if it's love." Harry sighed, turning his head away from Hermione. "Makes me want to turn around and-"

"Face me!" Hermione roughly turned him around.

Harry groaned again, dropping his head back onto his arms. "But I don't know nothing 'bout love!"

>>>>>>>>>>

(Flashback)

Ginny grabbed Harry's arms and pulled him up, and flicked her wand, causing music to start playing. Spinning him around the room, she laughed, her flaming red hair flying around her. "Come on!" Ginny took one of his hands in hers and twirled him. "Come one, turn a little faster!"

"Come on, come on! The world will follow after!" Harry laughed, mocking her as he spun her.

>>>>>>>>>>

Harry sighed, lost in his memories. Hermione, obviously expecting more, prodded him in the arm. "Come on, because everybody's after love."

After Hermione continued her relentless prodding, Harry sighed again, holding up his hands in defeat. "I surrender!"

>>>>>>>>>>

(Flashback)

Taking a break from her enthusiastic dancing, Ginny poured through a book, finding a spell for transfiguring milk into ice-cream. Upon finding two cartons of milk, she flicked her wand at them.

Harry watched, amused, as the cartons transformed into two strawberry ice-cream cones. Picking one up, he raised his cone in a toast.

Laughing, Ginny raised hers as well. "To strawberry ice-cream."

>>>>>>>>>>

Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil, two fellow Gryffindors, had reached the table and sat down, listening intently to Harry's story. Parvati sighed dreamily, obviously captured by the romance. Turning to Harry, she grasped his hands firmly, looking into his eyes with an oddly intimidating gaze. "Never, ever end all of this love."

Harry blinked, pushing his glassed up his nose. "Well, I didn't mean to do it."

Lavender and Parvati just giggled madly at his last comment, gushing over the fact that Harry Potter fancied someone. Their giggling was only increased as Ginny sat down beside Harry, her face tinged pink at overhearing their conversation.

Smiling slightly, although somewhat embarrassedly, Ginny nudged Harry in the arm, her brown eyes twinkling. "But there's no escaping your love."

This just set off more giggling, as Harry grinned sheepishly and played with the cuff of his school robes.

(Flashback)

Harry and Ginny sat side by side at one of the windows of the Gryffindor common room, watching the sky darken. Thunder clouds pushed past each other, more and more of them gathered in the sky. Lightning began to flash across the sky, and the distant boom of thunder rang in their ears.

"These lines of lightning mean we're never alone." Harry pointed to the flashes of bright light, smiling at Ginny. Taking her hand gently, he turned back to the sky.

"Never alone?" Ginny raised an eyebrow at his remark, but nonetheless blushed as she looked down at their joined hands.

Harry turned to her once more, giving her a lopsided grin. "No."

"No." Ginny said slowly, confirming it. She smiled back at him, content with watching the sky.

>>>>>>>>>>

"Come on!" Lavender stood up, crossing to the other side of the table to put a hand on the two's shoulders. "Come on, move a little closer!"

Ginny looked away hurriedly, the pink tinge growing more noticeable.

Parvati just continued to gaze at the two of them. Nudging Harry, she indicated to Ginny. "I want to hear you whisper."

"Come on!" Lavender's grin had widened even more at this point, nudging the two. "Come on!"

Harry fidgeted uncomfortably, glancing at Ginny for help. She just looked back at him, grinning widely. Thinking of something that would shut the two up, he moved closer to Ginny and whispered in her just loud enough for Lavender and Parvati to hear.

"Settle down inside my love." Moving quickly away from her, Harry shifted again in his seat, feeling his cheeks burn.

Ginny just burst out laughing as Parvati and Lavender giggled and gushed over his comment.

(Flashforward) (A/N: Erm… can you have those?)

Quite some months later, Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley had broken up, for reasons unknown to others except their closest friends. That particular day found the Gryffindor Quidditch team out practising on the pitch.

"Come on!" Harry yelled to his team-mates as he hovered high in the air above the pitch. Turning his attention to Katie Bell, who had just jumped for the quaffle but missed by millimetres, he flew nearer to her. "Come on, jump a little higher!"

Katie nodded and said something in response, but when Harry didn't answer she turned to see what he was staring at. Ginny Weasley, one of the team's chasers, was hovering near Ron doing a scarily accurate impression of him letting the quaffle through one of the hoops.

Upon finally noticing her question gaze, Harry turned his attention back to Katie. "We were once upon a time in love." He said the words matter-of-factly, but Katie had noticed the wistful look in his eyes.

>>>>>>>>>>

Hermione just smiled at her two friends, but her look changed to one of surprise as she noticed who was approaching them. Nudging Harry, she motioned towards Ron, who was nearing their table.

Upon reaching the group of friends, Ron stopped. Looking warily from Lavender and Parvati giggling to Harry and Ginny both looking extremely uncomfortable, he slowly lowered himself onto the bench.

Harry noticed Ron's inquiring look and smiled in an apologetic sort of way. "We're… accidentally… in love."
