Hehe, I'm back! Two reviews already :D I'm so happy! Anyways I hope you like this chapter...I know I did ;). I'll let you get to the reading now...
The weeks that followed were happy ones, Ron and Hermione were openly dating, but Harry and Ginny had decided to wait and figure out where to go next. No one but Ron and Hermione suspected anything, not even Mrs. Weasley, but they stayed the best of friends. Fred funeral was a sad one.
That is, until George set of a series of fireworks. Mrs. Weasley was furious but the rest of them were thrilled. He had gone back to being his old self and that was more than they could ask for. After the funeral he had sent Ginny a silent wink, not letting anyone in on the conversation they had shared after the battle.
One particularly sunny afternoon while everyone was outside Ginny decided that Harry needed a haircut. She made him sit in the chair while he told her a particularly funny story from when he was little. This one was about Dudley and she laughed so hard she almost cut off a large clump of hair. She loved hearing stories from when he was little. The funny ones he told during the day, but late and night, when they were comfortable on the couch he would tell her the sadder one. Like the times when he was locked in his cupboard, not allowed to eat for days. Those stories she would cry and he would smile at her and tell her it hadn't been that bad.
"Ginny. I know it's been a while." Harry turned around in his seat ignoring Ginny's protests, "But if I asked you to maybe- date me. Would you?"
She looked at him for a moment. She had been giving him space, allowing him time to recover, and now he was asking her. Asking her what she had wanted to hear for so long, and she was at a loss for words, "Harry I…"
"I understand if you don't want to." He looked down, his glasses reflecting the waning light from the window, "It's okay."
"That's not what I meant." She pulled his chin up, "But I just want to make sure you're serious before I say yes."
"I am serious." He looked at her with a steely glint, "More serious than anything."
"Then yes. Of course I will Harry." She hugged him, "Of course I will."
He stood up, still hugging her and as cheesy as it may sound (and it does) they gazed into each other's eyes. It had been almost a month since the last time they kissed and now Ginny couldn't wait for it to happen again. Slowly Harry brought his mouth down to meet hers and right there in the kitchen they kissed, the sunset glinting behind them through the window.
Harry stuck his tongue into her mouth and they didn't hear the door open before there was a loud shout, "Oi!"
They jumped apart to see the entire Weasley family standing there in the doorway. Some of the faces looked angry, other's amused, and some just plain confused (Fluer) but never the less Harry was embarrassed, "I just- we-"
He was cut off when Ginny looked at them all, then Harry and burst out laughing. Then Harry was laughing too, his stomach cramping he laughed so hard. "I don't understand 'e could do so much better." Fluer was saying.
"Oh shut up Fluer." That was Hermione, fed up with her.
Mrs. Weasley didn't look particularly angry but as she shook a finger at Harry he became wary, "No listen hear mister, you are staying in my house and if I ever find you in Ginny's room you will regret it. Got that?"
He nodded, wide eyed, while Ginny laughed even harder. George clapped him on the back as he passed.

The next few weeks were nice for Harry and Ginny, who had been caught kissing, because they didn't have to hide their relationship. Ginny was especially happy, Fluer (whom she had never liked) could not get her head wrapped around the thought that Harry was indeed dating Ginny Weasley. The two couples, for Hermione and Ron had been openly dating, often went on long walks. One time Harry and Hermione had even taken the Weasley's to see a muggle movie.
"So it's basically like wizard photo's" Ron scratched his head.
Hermione shook hers, "Not really. I mean sure the pictures move but they are able to have sound and it tells a story."
"And what are we seeing again?"
"The Lion King." Hermione and Harry both smiled, "It's a children's movie."
"Then why are we seeing it?" Ginny looked offended.
"Because it's entertaining and you don't really need to pay attention to know what's happening."
"Uh." Ron was confused so Harry leant forward and whispered in his ear, "Oh! Genius."
Five minutes into the movie Ron and Hermione were snogging loudly, while Harry and Ginny sat awkwardly next to them. "Uh, Harry." Ginny whispered to him.
"Yeah?"
"…Can we move?"
"Yeah."
Unfortunately for Harry, who found nothing special with muggle movies (he'd been raised muggle); Ginny was completely entranced with the movie. She watched the whole thing on the edge of her seat, her eyes opened wide with excitement. And when it was over she gushed to Harry about the music and drawings.
And despite not being able to snog his girlfriend, he found that he liked this side of her. "Oh Harry can we see another muggle picture?" She grabbed onto his arm.
"Yeah, we'll have to see what's playing next time."
"Yay!"
