WARNING: a somewhat smutty chapter

Seven

"Keep your eyes closed Gin."

She didn't really have much choice. Harry's hand was placed securely over her eyes as he carefully directed her from the living room into the kitchen. She knew that he had been planning a special surprise for Valentine's Day but she couldn't help but wonder what.

He had gone to great lengths that was sure. When she had been upstairs getting changed she had heard Harry calling the three kids. It seemed as though they were having a slumber party at Uncle Ron's. Harry only did this on rare occasions when he wanted to talk about something important, or wanted to do something romantic.

"Can I look yet?"

"No!"

Harry turned Ginny to the left and then slowly she could feel his hand moving from her eyes. His mouth was close to her ear when he spoke next.

"Okay now."

The largest smile she was capable of appeared on her face as she looked around. He'd placed candles all around the kitchen to set a romantic mood. Then the table had been shrunk to sit only two. It was covered in a red table cloth with a Champaign bottle in a silver ice bucket.

"You did all this?"

"And more."

Harry walked over to the oven and pulled out a casserole. A tiny laugh escaped Ginny's lips as he ran it over to the table making funny noises.

"It's really hot!"

"That's why you wear oven gloves."

"Oh right."

His eyes told her that it had been staged. But that didn't take away from their moment. She moved to a chair but Harry ran up behind it pulling it out.

"My lady."

He settled her into the seat and poured the Champaign for her. She watched silently as he ran around the kitchen putting food onto the plates before returning and sitting opposite her.

"Happy Valentines Day Gin."

She raised her glass to him smiling gently.

"Harry, Happy Valentines Day."

They took a sip of the drink and then started in on the food.

"This is amazing Harry."

"Of course it is. I made it."

"Oh yes how could I forget anything that The Harry Potter touches has to be amazing."

He gave her a smirk from across the table. Maybe she had missed something there she didn't understand the look.

"Well!"

"What?"

"Why are you smirking?"

"Because apparently everything that I touch is amazing."

"And?"

"You're amazing."

She felt the blush start at her toes as it spread to her face. How could she have said that without thinking it through? Harry's laugher lightened the mood though. They sat in silence for a few moments and then Harry spoke gently.

"Are you feeling any better?"

"Yes I think I must have had the flu or something."

"Are you sure though. I mean if you're still not a hundred percent you could go up to bed."

"And will you be joining me in bed?"

There was a sparkle in Harry's eyes as he answered.

"You wouldn't be able to stop me. But are you sure you were really bad."

Ginny nodded at him as she put her glass down.

"Harry do you remember the first time we did this?"

She watched his green eyes close for a moment before nodding.

"It was just after Hermione and Ron got married. They'd gone on their honeymoon and I had the house to myself for two whole weeks. So on my day off I decided to surprise you with a home cooked meal. Only I burnt the lamb forgot to put the potatoes on and the wine was corked."

Ginny giggled nodding her head.

"It was the worst meal I'd ever had. But you'd tried so hard that I wanted to make it look like I was enjoying it."

"Thankfully I wouldn't let you eat it. Think I could have poisoned you. Ron would have killed me for that!"

Ginny laughed again nodding as she thought about it.

"So you went into London and found a pizza shop and brought us back two of the biggest pizza's I'd ever seen. We were still eating them three days later!"

Harry was laughing now as well. The two look at each other closely remembering what else that night had marked. Ginny blushed slightly and Harry's grin grew wider.

"It was a good night though Gin."

She only nodded biting her lip. Yes it had been a great night. She sometimes saw it when in work and looking at the memories. She never recorded it though; no it was a personal memory between just the two of them.

Ginny opened the bathroom door and looked straight up at Harry. He was grinning at her in a manner she'd never witnessed before. Yet she was unable to say anything as his lips found hers. It was a soft kiss filled with tenderness. Or at least that's how it started. Harry's lips became rougher against Ginny and she in response pushed at him harder.

She felt his arms grip her hips as she swung her arms around his shoulders. They stood like that for minutes just lost in their passion. Finally Ginny broke away breathing deeply.

"Wow."

She could tell from the look on Harry's face that he was thinking the same. In a swift movement he had her wrapped in his arms kissing her again. She could feel herself getting lost in Harry's kisses. In fact she must have gotten lost because she didn't notice him lifting her from the ground or moving them into his room.

As she felt her back land on the bed she pulled a little away. Harry although reluctant moved back to look at her. She smiled slightly and slowly moved to kiss Harry again. The kisses became longer and filled with more passion. Then she felt Harry's hand on her stomach. Fluttering took over as he ran his fingers along her top moving it up inch by inch until finally he pulled out of the kiss and took the top off.

Ginny shivered as Harry took her in. His lips moved to her neck and she groaned lightly at his soft kisses…

"Harry did you and Luna ever…"

His eyes had been glazed and she wondered if he'd been thinking of that night in the same way she had. Slowly he gave her a tiny nod. She had suspected that Harry and Luna had been but had always been too nervous to ask. He caught her eye now though and took a sip of his drink.

"We were both young Gin and I loved her. But it was never like it is with you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. We only did it the once and … I shouldn't be telling you this."

"Please I want to know."

Harry stood up and took their plates from the table. She watched as he silently put them in the sink before turning to look at Ginny.

"It's hard to talk about Luna Gin. Especially that side of the relationship. I mean people knew that I loved her and I did Ginny. She was my life and then he took her from me. Just like he tried to take everything."

Ginny remained silent watching him. It was true that Luna had become a topic that they didn't talk about anymore. Ginny and Hermione on occasion would speak about her but Ginny knew that it had been a number of years since Harry had spoken her name.

"The day of the battle Gin she said goodbye. She told me that she loved me and went to walk away. My heart sunk especially when she told me that with everyone that had died she thought she would. But I promised her that I wouldn't let them kill her. I promised that I would die before letting them take her. I couldn't keep that promise."

"Of course you couldn't Harry and she would never have blamed you. We all knew that we were going in there likely to get injured or die. We all readied ourselves and let's face it only one of the six of us came out unharmed and that was luck more than anything."

There were small tears in his eyes and Ginny moved over and hugged him close. She held him as tight as she could and he did the same back. Finally she pulled a little back and smiled at him.

"Tell me about Luna Harry."

He took her hand and led her into the living room. It was surrounded with family pictures of them and the kids, of her brothers and their families and of their extended family, Remus, Tonks and little Sirius, and of course Neville and April. But also among the many photos were Hogwarts ones, of six people together. Her eyes went to that as Harry spoke gently.

"I don't know if I can tell you Gin. I mean you're my wife."

"Please. I want to know."

He sighed softly and began to speak in a very low voice.

"She was my first love. Sometimes I could image us together when the war was over. She'd have been the perfect wife. You know she was very sweet and tender something that most people didn't see. And the wackiness that was a by product of the hurt in her life. She saw her mother die and wanted to believe that it wasn't the end so she believed in everything she could. I liked that about her."

Harry sniffed gently and Ginny wrapped her arms around him.

"I know what you mean. Neville was the first man that I loved. Do you know we even planned our wedding and honeymoon. We'd even got so far as to settle on the names of three out of the five children we were going to have."

Harry made a soft chuckle.

"Did you and Neville ever…"

"No. We decided that we were going to wait until after the battle. We were going to get married and then we'd … I guess I missed out there because from what April has said –"

"Please Ginny don't finish that sentence!"

She laughed looking up at Harry. Gently she took his lips and then pulled away.

"Tell me about you're first time and then I'll tell you about mine!"

This was something else they'd never talked about. Their sex lives before each other had been long out of bound.

"Okay fine. It was the day before the battle. Luna and I had been taking the relationship slowly. Then we decided to go for a walk around the grounds and I remember Luna just grabbed me and started kissing me right there in front of everyone."

Ginny was watching Harry closely. He had a look of embarrassment just remembering it.

"She pulled me over towards the forest then and said that she wanted to show me how much she loved me. I remember she took my hand and pulled it inside of her top. I was so shocked because she wasn't wearing a bra! I just I remember thinking that she was mad. I told her that I knew how much she loved me and that she had nothing to prove. But she didn't believe me."

"Wait you had sex with Luna in the forest!"

"No Gin. I told her to wait there and headed back up to the dorm room. I got my invisibility cloak and went back down. I took her to the shrieking shack."

"Oh how romantic!"

"Actually it was. It was where Hermione and Ron had been sneaking to for months."

"What they were…"

"Yeah I only found out because it had been cleaned up. Luna dragged me up to one of the bedrooms and took full advantage of me."

"Really?"

"Yeah. She was in control the entire time and I did what she ordered me to."

He laughed and Ginny could tell that he was lost in that moment. She wouldn't disturb him from that. She sat silently watching him for a couple of moments and then he seemed to shake himself out of it.

"Alright Mrs so tell me about your first time."

"Alright. This guy was really sweet made me a fantastic meal and made me laugh. We talked about all these good times that we'd experienced in the past and then I excused myself to the bathroom. When I opened the door he was standing there waiting for me."

Her eyes locked on Harry's and she could see that he was studying her closely.

"Gin am I the only guy you've ever –"

"Yes Harry. There's only ever been you and I wouldn't change it for the world."

His kiss was amazing. Full of emotions, there was want, need mixed with love. There was a mix of roughness that would be replaced by tenderness only for the rough need of their passion to take over again.

Ginny quickly pulled out of the kiss and took hold of Harry's hand.

"Let's take this upstairs."

He nodded silently as she led the way. As they climbed the stairs she could feel Harry's hands running over her already. The usual fluttering in her stomach was back and she knew to expect amazing things. But as she opened the door one other thing was on her mind. She had finished the potion three days ago. According to the research she was likely able to conceive.

As she pushed Harry onto the bed and climbed on top of him taking his lips that thought ran through her mind. This could be the moment where their love made a baby. This could be that brilliant moment when her body would do what it was suppose to do.

Harry flipped her and she looked up as he wiggled his eyebrows. All she could do was smile as his lips once more took hers. His hands skimmed her body touching her in her most sensitive places giving her small pleasures. His lips left her mouth as he moved down her. She felt his tongue brush against her. She held his hair as he probed further and further. Her mind was beginning to boggle and then she screamed out his name.

When her eyes regained focus Harry was above her once more. Their lips met and their kisses became tender. Her fingers ran along him enjoying the soft moans he made into her lips. Then he was positioned over her and she felt him push inside. As they moved together the image of a small child played on her mind. As she called out his name once more she couldn't help but smile and hope.
