Can You Say Forever?
They'd stood in the snow for an hour. they were just looking at the lake. Well she was looking at the Squid gliding silently under the surface. he was looking at her.
across the lake Hagrid watched them. his eyes welled up. He'd seen a scene like this before. Lily and James Potter. One young man with wild black hair and thick glasses and an eye for adventure paired with a gentle sweet girl with flaming red hair. it seemed to the enormous man that history, as it always did, was repeating itself.
of course the two across the lake weren't dating. the weren't "Together". they'd just gotten to know each other better over the summer. they had grown close. it was like she had become a fourth to the legendary trio.
she turned to his face, blushing to see that he'd been staring at her.
"Ginny, I..."
"Stop," she said, escaping from his arms. he'd been leaning in, she'd been quite able to see what he was hoping to do.
"I'm sorry. I thought you wanted..."
"I did," she cut him off. "Harry, I've wanted it for six years. From the moment I saw you Harry."
"Then... why did you walk away?"
tears slid from her eyes. "Because it would hurt too much... Harry, I can't be Cho, I can't be Hermione, I can't be Fluer, or someone you just date and move on. I tried to tell myself otherwise a hundred times, I tried to date someone else, I tried telling myself it was just a crush, but it isn't Harry." she moved closer. "I love you. Every way I see it, I love you."
"I love you too Ginny..." he said. he took her in his arms, holding her close.
"Harry, don't say that to me, don't kiss me. Not unless you can promise me it won't end."
"I love you Ginny," he repeated firmly, kissing her gently on her lips. "Now, and forever. it just took me a while to open my eyes."
