Flying

"After hearing Ron and Hermione arguing about that dumb cat, Crookshanks and the stupid rat, Scabbers, Harry finally decided to go leave to fly…without supervision of course. And also breaking curfew. So he snuck of with this invisibility cloak and set off.

When Harry arrived at the Quidditch pitch he did not expect to see someone already flying out first, without seeing the red hair, Harry thought it was Oliver Wood preparing for Quidditch practice. But then he noticed the figure playing with a quaffle. He naturally assumed it would be one of the chasers, Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet or Angelina Johnson. But when he finally noticed the red hair breezing through in the wind saying he was shocked would be an understatement.

How did Ginny Weasley learn to catch a quaffle like that and fly so elegantly and without effort was amazing. He thought about calling out her name but that would just startle her and make her drop the quaffle…or she would and he didn't want any accidents.

So as he stood in the starry night he began thinking about the littlest Weasley. His first impression of her, not going to lie, was annoying. His second impression of her was she was a fan girl and he honestly did not know how to deal with that. But then his third impression of her made him see the vulnerable side of her. The side that Tom Riddle had taken advantage of. Then this side of her made everything else change completely.

She was beautiful under the moonlight. The moon shone on her hair making it look dark and ruby coloured. The moon shone of her skin making it look pale and her freckles stand out. She looked like a miniature goddess.

But while he was stalking her like the stalker he was, he didn't realise that his cloak slipped off. So when he did realise and turn around to pick up his cloak he didn't hear Ginny fly towards him ball in hand with a smirk on her face. So when he realised and jumped back in surprise it caused Ginny laugh a bit making her seem even more beautiful. She sat with her legs crossed at the front and her hands in front of her.

"So I didn't expect the great Harry Potter watching me while I was flying. Maybe I should do it more often." she said winking at him, without a blush or a stutter. He was the one blushing and stuttering an apology. "Ha. Relax I was only messing with you." She teased. She then moved to look at the full moon."It's beautiful, isn't it?" she asked softly.

"Yeah."he said as he flew up to join her."So what brings you here?" he asked. He then wished he could tape his mouth together after. Her expression darkened and then he could see the vulnerable side of Ginny Weasley.

"I just wanted to get away from everyone." She said, her voice trembling.

"People been giving you grief over it?" he asked as he hesitantly put an arm around her, surprising her and making her blush slightly, which he had to bite back a smirk about that.

"Some people have just begun getting wearier around me. Nothing to worry about." She said trying to sound reassuring, but Harry could see the pain in her eyes.

"Hey, if you need anyone, you can honestly talk to me. I could be your Knight in shining armour" he said teasingly, enjoying making her blush. But that however didn't stop her from having a smartass reply to come back with.

"Really? Because last time I checked you saved me with your school robes and you are a student." She said as she flipped her hair back.

"Wow" Harry said but he began tickling her, which resulted in them falling down but they were only up about 5ft, so they weren't injured.

"Say you're sorry" Harry said, as he began to mercifully tickle her.

"Ok, ok. I'm sorry." She said as he stopped but stayed on top of her. Both of them realised how close they were to each other. Harry was about to lean when a bat like shout interrupted them.

"Potter! Weasley! Over here now!" Yelled Snape.

"There he goes, ruining something romantic." Harry heard Ginny as he pulled her up, but he didn't let go of her hand.

"Do you to think you are both so high and mighty that you think you can skip curfew? A month's detention! Both of you"

"Yes sir" Harry said as bowed his head down.

"Yes professor." said Ginny. With that he twirled around and turned back to Harry quickly hid his invisibility cloak and deactivated the map. He then grabbed Ginny's hand and ran with her to catch up with Snape not realizing that she was bright red at the gesture.

~At the Griffindor Entrance~

"And make no mistake your head of house will be hearing about this." Spat Snape at Harry. He then turned and stalked away.

When Ginny was sure he was out of ear range she span and turned to Harry "How badly does he hate you?" she asked.

"A lot." said Harry.

"Well are you two going to come in or not?" grumbled the Fat Lady. After giving in the password the two entered in to find it completely empty.

"Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow." said Ginny. She then summoned up all her Griffindor bravery and kissed Harry on the cheek. "Goodnight"

"Y-you two." said Harry turning a shade of red that would make Ron proud. She giggled slightly and turned upstairs to the Girls Dormitory.

"And by the way, thanks." And with a wink she closed the door.

When Harry turned upstairs he found Ron was slightly awake.

"Where have you been mate?"

"I went to the check on Hedwig."

"Ok. Tell that with Hermione. Goodnight." Harry had to chuckle at that.

"And with that he turned around, got changed and when he laid down asleep his only thoughts were about his friendship with a certain petite redhead.
