CRACK. Hermione and Ginny suddenly appeared in a room that clearly belonged to the famous Harry Potter.
"Shh! Ok, it didn't wake him. Good. Let's just put the presents here and then we can do what we talked about," said Ginny in a hushed voice
"Ginny, are you sure about this? I mean, your mom will get angry at you for just leaving in the middle of the night!" Hermione replied anxiously, brushing her bushy hair back from her face.
"Oh don't worry Hermione, I left a note," Ginny quietly answered. "Now do the charms and leave! And I do mean that in the nicest way possible."
A few moments passed as Hermione waved her wand in what seemed to be rather erratic motions, concentrating hard. "Alright, the charms are set, see you tomorrow, and wish him a happy birthday from Ron and me!"
CRACK. Hermione disapparated. Ginny winced at the noise and turned from where Hermione had left to look as Harry lying in bed with the sheets mostly kicked off due to the hot weather.
Aw, he is so cute when he sleeps! I didn't know that his hair could get any messier! Aw! Look at him in his t-shirt and boxers. He is just so adorable! Ginny thought to herself.
Ginny, trying to be as quiet as possible, slid off her coat. She was still dressed in her pajamas, which consisted of long flannel pants and a pink tank top. She carefully pulled back the sheets and lay next to Harry. She then pulled the covers back over the two of them and fell right to sleep.
Harry woke up and realized that he had slept in, a rare occasion indeed. He had the distinct feeling that someone was watching him. He grabbed his glasses from his bedside table and rolled over, only to see that someone else was sharing the bed with him! Harry was so shocked that he fell right off of the bed. Instantly he jumped off of the floor, blushing to see the other occupant awake and smiling, clearly amused.
"Ginny! What the bloody hell are you doing here?" Harry asked trying to catch his breath.
"Well good morning to you too," replied Ginny as she sat up, yawned and stretched. "I thought I would give you your birthday present early. I hope that I haven't startled you." She then flashed a very large grin.
"Oh no, falling off my bed wasn't that much of a startle!" Harry said, chuckling a bit. "How long have you been here? Merlin, you are lucky that my relatives didn't come in!"
Ginny started to get out of bed as she replied. "Oh since about 6:00 this morning. Don't worry about them, Hermione put silencing and locking charms on the door."
"How long have you been planning this?" Harry look shocked at all the thought going into his early birthday present.
"About 3 days or so." Ginny got up and walked over to him and gave Harry a very tight hug. She quietly whispered in his ear. "Happy Birthday!" With that she looked in his oh so gorgeous eyes and gave him a quick kiss.
Harry's hair on the back of his neck stood straight up. He was surprised at how much her warm breath on his ear could affect him.
"Now," Ginny said with a start, "let's get to the presents!"
Harry began to unwrap the smallest one. It was quite a few candies from Fred and George. He then grabbed another present; it was yet another book on Quidditch from Hermione. The last present was from Ron, Mrs. Weasley and Mr. Weasley. It was a kit for his firebolt.
"Now," Ginny said in a seductive voice, "for my present. I'll give you part of it right now and save the rest for later."
She walked over to him and sat on his lap facing him; each of her legs were on either side of him. She looked into his gorgeous emerald green eyes and they began to kiss.
Harry forgot how good it felt to kiss her. It brought back so many wonderful memories. He distinctly remembered their first kiss: It was in the common room right after they won the Quidditch cup. It was so sudden, but felt so wonderful. He had been scared that Ron would be furious with him, but he didn't really seem to care that much.
Ginny gently leaned against him so they fell back onto the bed. The kiss was getting more passionate by the second. Harry slowly rolled over so he was on top.
Ginny began to run her hands up and down his back while he slowly kissed her jaw line and her neck. Knowing they wouldn't go any farther, they just laid there snogging.
CRACK. Hermione appeared into Harry's room. She let out a very audible gasp and covered her eyes remarkably fast with her hands. She also turned around to face the wall.
Harry abruptly sat up, causing Ginny to fall to the floor this time. He immediately got up and helped her to her feet.
"Oh my goodness! I am so sorry you guys! But Ginny, your mum is going ballistic! She said for you to come home this instant."
"Ok, I'm coming! I'm coming!" Ginny said.
Harry didn't know if he had ever been so embarrassed in his life! "Umm… hold on let me throw on some jeans and I will come with you. I'll come back later to get my things." Harry quickly threw on the pants.
"Hermione, go ahead, I'll go with Harry," said Ginny as she gave him a smirk.
CRACK. With that, Hermione had left.
Ginny gave Harry a quick kiss and placed her hand on his arm.
"Ready?" He asked her.
"Ready as I'll ever be." She looked apprehensive but not guilty in the slightest in Harry's eyes as she smiled lovingly at him.
CRACK, they left for the Burrow.
"GINEVRA MOLLY WEASLEY! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU!" Mrs. Weasley bellowed as soon as the two appeared.
"I'm sorry mum! I just really wanted to surprise Harry for his birthday! I left you a note so you at least knew where I was," she said quickly.
"Ginny, there was no note! Where was it? You really shouldn't just leave like that. You had me worried sick!"
"I'm sorry. The note was right here on the table-HEY! Who moved it?" asked Ginny.
They heard distant shouts of laughter.
"FRED! GEORGE! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!" Screamed Mrs. Weasley.
Slowly but surely Fred and George came down the stairs. They had a complete look of innocence on their faces.
"Yes mother?" They asked in unison.
"Don't 'yes mother' me! I thought Ginny could be dead! Ginny, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, you all may go."
They all hurried up the stairs towards Ron's room. Ginny was a deep crimson red as she thought; Oh I'm so stupid! I don't know if I will ever be able to look at Hermione without blushing! She looked at Harry and they both blushed.
The rest of the day went pretty well. Harry had gone back to the Dursley's for the last time to retrieve his belongings. Once he came back he told them about what happened. He said that Dudley and his Uncle Vernon had never been so happy in their lives, but that his Aunt Petunia was a little sad. He didn't know the reason for that.
Harry was so traumatized by Hermione seeing Harry and Ginny in such a compromising position that he couldn't bring himself to look her in the eye or talk to her.
Before dinner everyone except Mrs. Weasley, who was preparing dinner, was in the living room. That chatted amiably for a while before they heard Ron's favorite words:
"Dinner's ready!" Announced Mrs. Weasley.
Everyone got up to head to the kitchen. Ginny held Harry back by grabbing his arm.
"Here," said Ginny with a sly grin, "once you have read it make sure you destroy it."
With that she slipped something into his hand and walked over to the dinner table. Harry unfolded the note and read it.
Harry,
Meet me outside at 12:00 P.M. Sharp! I still owe you the rest of your birthday present.
Loving you always,
Ginny
P.S. Don't be late
Harry had no idea what she had planned, but he couldn't wait. He barely ate any dinner because he was so nervous. He went upstairs and pretended to be asleep. Once he knew Ron was asleep, he got up and looks at the clock. It was 11:54, which meant he had 6 minutes to change and get outside. He put on his green shirt that he knew was her favorite and a pair of his best jeans (which weren't much, as they had once belonged to Dudley). Harry took a deep breath and went downstairs, not knowing what to expect. He had butterflies in his stomach and he felt slightly nauseous.
Harry walked outside and stood there, puzzled. Ginny wasn't anywhere in sight.
"Mr. Potter, you are late. It is now 12:02," said a very stern, but seductive voice.
Harry jumped; the voice seemed to come out of nowhere.
"Lumos" Harry muttered. He scanned everywhere for Ginny, then his light fell on her. She was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed. She was wearing a black skirt with ruffles on the bottom, falling right above her knees. She also had on a lacy red tank top that had a plunging neckline. To top it all off, she had on red stilettos that wrapped around her ankles, and her hair was half up, but the down part had nice spiral, bouncy curls.
Harry stood there completely at loss for words. He had never seen her look so beautiful in his life!
"Ginny! You look… wow!" Harry exclaimed. Ginny abruptly got up and started to walk towards the woods. She stopped after about 10 feet and motioned for him to follow with just her index finger. She then turned around and continued to walk towards the woods. Ginny didn't get that far because she tripped and fell. Harry rushed over to her side as she began to take off her high heels.
"These damn heels!" Ginny said angry. Harry began to laugh at her. "Don't laugh! I'd love to see you try and walk in these!"
Harry then apologized and picked her up. He gave her a quick kiss, and then set her back down.
"Now where were we? Oh yes, you were following me." She then took off towards the woods as before, but this time without heels.
Harry followed her obediently. After about five minutes of walking, and many failed attempts to find out where they were going, she stopped. She turned around and put a black silky cloth over his eyes. She then guided him for about a minute, and then stopped.
She whispered in his ear, "Keep your eyes closed," then she removed the cloth. "Okay you can open."
Harry obediently opened his eyes. They were at the river where they had all swam at many times, but much more romantic. There were candles floating everywhere and also rose petals floating in the water. Lastly, his eyes fell on the rather large blanket also covered in rose petals.
"Ginny! It's amazing!" exclaimed Harry.
"Really?" asked Ginny, Harry nodded.
Without any warning, Ginny jumped on him in a backwards-piggyback ride fashion and kissed him. They stood there for what seemed like hours. Then Harry lowered them onto the blanket. They laid there snogging for quite a while. Ginny jumped up quickly.
"Ginny? Are you ok?" Harry asked looking at her.
"Oh I'm wonderful, but you know that already," she gave him a very large smirk and a wink which caused Harry to blush. "Fancy a swim?" She asked him.
"I don't have my bathing suit…" replied Harry, looking sad.
Ginny just looked at him. "You'll think of something." With that, she gave him another large grin and jumped into the water fully clothed. Harry had obviously gotten the hint because he stood up and removed his shoes and socks, jumping in soon after.
They had so much fun swimming! After a few minutes they engaged in a splash fight. Several minutes later, and no chance that Ginny would give up; Harry went under the water... Ginny was stunned when the splashes she was sending out weren't returned. She paused and looked around; Harry wasn't in sight.
Ginny yelped as she was pulled under water by something – someone - holding on to her leg. She instinctively took a very large breath, and obediently went down. Once she was under water she opened her eyes. Floating before her was the one and only Harry Potter. He looked gorgeous under water with his jet black hair floating around his face. Ginny wished she could see him like that forever, but being human, she needed oxygen.
Harry and Ginny floated slowly to the surface of the water.
"Ok, I'm getting really cold," said Ginny as she shivered. "Ready to get out?"
"Sure." Harry sadly got out of the water because he was having so much fun. Harry then realized he had been shivering also. Once they were out, he conjured two warm and fluffy towels.
"Harry, could you please dry me off? I'm freezing!" Ginny said to Harry's surprise.
"Huh?" he asked her confused.
"Well, seeing as you are now of age and can do magic outside of school, can you please dry me off!" Ginny said smiling. Harry's eyes widened in understanding and he quickly dried both of them off. However, there was still a slight chill in the air.
"Hey Harry, how about a sweatshirt?" asked Ginny eyeing him.
"Sure" Harry said. With some more concentration he imagined a sweatshirt with the most holes in it possible, thereby rendering the article of clothing useless.
"Oh you git!" Ginny replied as she punched him in the arm playfully. "I demand you put a new one on me this instant!"
Harry clicked his tongue in mock irritation. "Say please!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "Please?"
Harry gave another flick of his wand.
"Is that better?" Harry said as he looked at her.
"Very much so, but I'm mad at you!" Ginny said and turned around, crossed her arms and said "Hmpf!"
Harry knew that he saw her smirk before she turned around. He walked very slowly and silently up behind her. He gently put his arms around her waist and placed his head on her shoulder.
"Will you ever forgive me?" Harry asked somewhat dramatically. She shook her head, but he knew she was smiling. "What can I do?"
"Oh I don't know," she said in a very mischievous voice.
Harry spun her around, caught her by her hips and kissed her. "Better?"
"A little," she said in voice that sounded like a 5 year old.
"Ok, close your eyes!" Ginny did as she was commanded. Harry turned towards the blanket and flicked his wand with some concentration. A tray of hot cocoa and cookies appeared.
Harry turned back to Ginny. "Keep your eyes closed!" He then led Ginny back to the blanket. "Ok, open." He whispered softly into her ear.
She opened her eyes and gasped. "Oh Harry! You know how I love hot cocoa after swimming." She then gave him a very tight, warm hug.
They sat there talking, drinking their hot cocas, eating their cookies, and occasionally engaging in snog sessions. They sat there for a little over an hour until they both fell asleep in each others arms.
"Harry! Harry! Bloody hell! Wake up!" All that got Ginny was a little grunt and him turning over. "Harry, honey, wake up." And she kissed him softly on the forehead, followed by the lips.
Harry awoke with a start. He sat up and rubbed he sleep out of his eyes.
"Hurry! Hurry get up! By your watch it's 9 o'clock! Everyone is probably already up! Come on! We have to hurry!" Ginny said urgently.
Harry got up, and vanished everything. They both took off at a dead run. Harry didn't know what Mrs. Weasley would do. This was their second time getting caught in two days so he became nervous.
They slowed down and caught their breath 10 feet in front of the Burrow. Then they walked into the house not knowing what to expect.
