I Really Like You
After classes the next day, Harry decided to go outside by the lake to do his homework since it was such a nice day. He grabbed his bag, headed out of the common room, and made his way down to the doors to the castle. He quickly made his way down to a tree by the lake, in a nice shaded area. Harry sat down, leaning against the tree and pulled out his homework. Sighing, he got started on it.
Quite a few minutes went by before Harry looked up when someone spoke to him. He found himself once again looking a Ginny Weasley.
"Hey Harry," she smiled. "Homework?" she asked, gesturing to the books and parchment he had.
"Yeah." He sighed. "You too?" He asked, gesturing to the books she herself had.
She nodded. "I was gonna do my homework out here, but I can do it somewhere else if your here." She said softly.
"Oh, no. Its fine, we can both work here, can't we?" He smiled. Inside his heart was racing, as it had started doing everytime he saw Ginny.
She smiled. "Thanks." She said softly, sitting down next to Harry. She felt hyper aware of how close they were sitting, but she liked it. Ginny started on her homework, while Harry went back to working on his.
A few minutes passed, only the sounds of turning pages in books, or one of them writing something on parchment, and the sounds of the birds and insects around them heard.
Finally Ginny sighed in frustration, there was a certain assignment she had that she just couldn't understand. Harry looked over at her in question.
"Whats wrong?" He asked softly.
"I can't figure out this stupid assingment from Snape." She said, sighing again. Harry grimaced in sympathy.
"Hmm, don't count on me being able to figure it out, but let me see if I can help you." He said softly.
"Thanks." She smiled, moving the paper over a little towards Harry so he could see.
"No problem." Harry said, leaning over close to her to read the paper. Their shoulders were touching, and honsestly they were sitting about an inch apart now. Harry started to read the assignment, all the while very aware how close they were.
Ginny looked at Harry, his face inches from hers, wondering once again what he thought of her. She watched his eyes move as they scanned the paper, and was almost startled when he suddenly turned his head, and met her gaze.
Harry looked at Ginny, almost unable to breathe as he gazed into her eyes, so close to her...
He was unaware that he had started to lean closer to her, until he had already done it. Neither one of them spoke as Ginny leaned closer as well, till their faces were so close, Harry could have counted her eyelashes.
Then, without thinking about the doubts he had that she might not like him, he took a chance. There was an inch of space between their lips, but a second later, Harry had closed his eyes and moved foward, and their lips met. Ginny closed her own eyes, melting into the soft, gentle kiss. Harry's heart was racing, feeling so atracted to her as they kissed for several seconds, before they finally broke away.
Harry and Ginny looked into each others eyes for a moment, before Harry couldn't stop the grin that spread across his face. Ginny smiled brightly, blushing a little.
Did that really just happen? Harry wondered in awe. Harry couldn't find any words to say. Finally, Ginny spoke in a very soft voice.
"I really like you Harry." She admitted, in a slight blissful daze from the kiss.
Harry's heart lept. "I really like you too Ginny." He said, almost whispering. They were so close to each other, it was pointless to talk loud anyway. Ginny smiled more, leaning into what became their seond kiss, in in Harry's opinion, was better than the first. And so was the next couple that followed it, there lips meeting time and time again, there hands finding each others, as their homework lay forgotten.
Finally, what was quite a few minutes later, they stopped kissing, but kept there hands intertwined.
"So, are we..together?" Ginny asked a bit shyly. Harry smiled at her.
"I would hope so...only if you want to though." Harry said, adding the last part quickly as an after thought. She shook her head in ammusement.
"Of course I want to." She said, smiling radiantly. Harry felt estatic, and couldn't stop grinning as he squeezed her hand a little. Then he thought of something.
"But, Ginny, we have to.." He started, but Ginny cut him off. "Keep this a secret, I know." She finished gently. She wished they didn't have to hide this, but she knew it was for the best.
"If your brothers find out about this...they will kill me." Harry mumbled. Ginny laughed.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She said teasingly. He laughed.
"We'll be able to hide this, don't worry." She said reassuringly. He nodded. Neither one of them realized how hard that was going to be.
They talked for a little while more, before it was getting really close to dinner time, and they packed their stuff up. Shouldering his bag, Harry stood and reached a hand down to Ginny to help her up. Ginny smiled and shouldered her own bag, before taking his hand and letting him help her up. Once they were both standing, they didn't bother to let go of each others hand, there wasn't anyone outside but them.
They walked in peaceful silence up to the castle, their intertwined hands swinging slightly. They reached the castle doors, and were about to part ways, when Harry remembered something.
"Hey, Ginny, you wanted to go to Hogsmeade, right?" He asked, a plan forming in his mind.
She turned to him curiously. "Yes. Why?" She asked.
"Well, this weekend is a Hogsmeade weekend, and even though niether one of us are allowed to go, I know a secret passageway, and I have an invisabilty cloak, and we could sneak out and go...do you want to?" He asked, blushing a bit and hoping she would want to go.
She looked suprised, but pleased.
"Of course. But I have a question." She said softly.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Were in the world did you get an invisability cloak?" She asked excitedly. He chuckled and explained quickly about how he got it in first year. She nodded, getting excided for the upcoming weekend.
"I can't wait." She grinned.
Harry smiled. "Me either." he said softly, his heart pounding in happiness. They reluctantly let go of each others hands as they walked into the castle. They quickly got to the Great Hall, and knew they had to start the hiding relationship thing, now.
"Well, see you Harry." She said softly, with small smile.
"See you." He said gently, and walked into the Great Hall first. He went over and took a seat were Ron and Hermione (who were speaking now) were.
"Where have you been?" Hermione asked curiously, Ron looking interested to hear his answer as well.
"Outside." He answered easily. Ron nodded, excepting the answer and quickly starting on his wasn't that easy to convince though.
"Doing what?" She asked.
"Homework." Harry answered easily. She narrowed her eyes a bit, sensing there was more to it, but let it go and started eating.
Harry couldn't beleive it honestly... he was dating Ginny.. He had kissed her. He was going to sneak into Hogsmeade this weekend with her. He smiled to himself, it seemed so perfect, that he didn't worry at the moment how it was gonna be hard to hide this relationship.
Hope you liked it! Please Review :)
