Chapter 4-Caught in the Act

Later on Christmas Day, everyone else came to the Burrow. Harry was speaking to George about Ginny taking work experience at his shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

"Yeah, I mean if you want something to do then, you could come along too." He asked. Harry polite fully declined and spoke to Bill about life, at which he grinned and called the family, Harry and Hermione to sit at the table. They all did. He and a beaming Fleur stood at the top of the table.

"Everyone, we would like to announce," he put an arm round his wife "Fleur is one month pregnant!"

At this, everyone burst out in applause and congratulations. Mrs Weasley seemed over the moon. They then ate the huge dinner and opened each other's presents.

As Ginny opened her present, she smiled. Harry gave her a golden chain which had a locket at the end which had a red G engraved on it. She came to kiss Harry, but he gave her a glance to say remember no one knows yet! So she hugged him instead. What he got from her was a photo-but it was a wizarding one. It clearly showed a younger him, with Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Neville and Luna. He hugged her again and the evening resumed with present opening.

At about eleven in the evening, having bid everyone a goodnight, Harry made his way up to Ron's room, when he heard a soft voice calling him to Ginny's room. He did so cautiously. As he entered the room, he immediately stopped. Ginny was wearing one of Mrs Weasley's jumpers, but no trousers. The jumper was big, but only went down to about a quarter down the way of her thighs.

"What?" she asked.

"Nothing. Do you want me to come back later?" he replied.

"Why? No, I wanted to speak with you."

She walked past him to close the door and then walked up to Harry. Trying not to look down at her soft legs, he stared at her face. "What did you want to speak to me about?"

Seeing what he was avoiding to gaze at, she said "Harry, you can look at my legs!" she laughed. "I wanted to thank you properly for the gift." She purred as she put on pyjama trousers. She walked up to him and he put her arms around her. She pushed him into the wall and kissed him. For a couple of minutes, they kissed, only surfacing for air, until suddenly, Mrs Weasley came in. "Ginny, have you seen my-oh!" she blushed as did Harry and Ginny.

"I'll just leave you two alone, but you should know Harry, it's very late..." she smiled and left the room.

"Well, thanks. What's so funny?" she asked.

"Nothing...well goodnight." Harry replied. He kissed her cheek softly and left the room. He could not help but grin. He was so happy.

Next morning, he woke up with a grin. He had just relived the past day in dream. Throwing his glasses and clothes on, he only just realised Ron was downstairs already. He glanced at the watch he received years ago. The short hand was on eleven and the long on nine. Holy crap! He half-jogged downstairs, to be greeted by a dozy Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Bill in the kitchen.

The latter of the group asked aside Harry to join him to the living-room. Harry followed, suspiciously.

"So...Harry...I heard about you and Ginny." He said in a put-on deeper voice.

"Yeah...Well...Er..." how was Harry supposed to respond? He thought he saw a flash of red before Bill spoke.

"Listen, I know that Ron is too much of a friend to tell you this, my dad too much in awe, George not caring...But we all feel the same way. We couldn't think of a more perfect person for our Gin. But if you hurt her, you'll have five brothers, a dad and mum on your case."

"No trust me, I will never hurt her ever again. I would die before I lose her...I love her..." his voice trailed off. He thought about how bad it would it would pain him if she died or left him for someone else.

"Good. Well just so were clear..." he gestured back to the living room.

"Harry, Ron, Ginny, do you wanna come outside?" asked Hermione.

"Oh, but we haven't even had breakfast!" groaned Ron.

"Ron, you idiot, breakfasts not ready yet! Besides, you ate a quarter of a turkey yesterday, not to mention twelve Yorkshire Puddings!!" she argued.

"Oh...fine..."

They all hustled out of the front door. The snow had melted, leaving large puddles everywhere.

"'Mione, can you and Ronald the Human Waste-bin just give us two secs?" asked Ginny, out-of-the-blue.

"Sure. Come on, Ron." giggled Hermione, as she dragged a scowling Ron away.

"I heard what you said to my brother...Would you really?"Said Ginny, as she turned round to face Harry.

He knew what she was talking about. "Of course. I love you so mu-"Ginny's lips stopped his mouth from saying another word. She pulled away and grasped the front of his jacket.

"I love you too, Harry Potter..."

And then they melted into one another, their lips locking.

"Don't leave me...O.K.?" said Harry as they lay on the living-room couch. Ginny was resting her head on Harry's lap as she stretched out along the length of the couch. Harry was stroking her face and twirling her long, fiery red hair.

"No...I promise you."
