It's not just a bet anymore!

Summary: Harry Potter makes a bet with the Weasley brother. They bet him that he can't date Ginny for a whole month. Harry decided to take them up on the bet. But what if Harry winds up falling for Ginny. What happens when Ginny finds out?

~*~*~*

Harry and Ron slowly walked down the stairs. Ginny was setting the table, her copper red hair pulled back into a ponytail. Harry has to admit that Ginny has grown into a beautiful woman over the years but she was still like a sister to him. "Hey Gin."

Ginny looked up and smiled, "Oh hey Harry." She went back to setting the table.

Harry figured this was going to be hard, she didn't even like him anymore.

Ron sat down next to Harry. Mrs. Wealsey called down the twins and Mr. Wealsey. Percy walked into the kitchen and sat across from Ron. Percy has realized his mistake the summer after the second wart has begun. Mrs. Weasley forgave him instantly but he had to work on everyone else. After Voldemort's defeat everyone was so relieved that they forgot to be mad at Percy. Everyone except Ginny that is, who had a tendency to hold grudges, Percy was still working on Ginny.

Everyone took their seats and the only free was for Ginny was next to Harry. Funny how that had worked out for him. Ginny smiled and sat down gracefully next to Harry. No one would have believed that this was little Ginny who could hardly stand still around Harry without making a complete fool of herself.

Dinner was nice and everyone talked to one another. No fight or brawls. It was a nice family dinner. Mrs. Weasley was soon kicking the children out of the kitchen so that she could clean up. "Hey Gin do you want to go for a walk with me?" Harry asked.

"Umm I think Hermione wanted me to wait for her." Ginny said letting her hair fall out of its holder and fall down her back.

"I have something important to talk to you about."

"Ok I guess I'll talk to her when we come back." Ginny said leading the way out of the living room into the backyard.

Harry thought about what he was going to say to her the whole way to the lake. The Weasley's had a small lake at the back of their house where the children usually spent most of their summer. Ginny sat down on the large boulder that sat at the edge of the water. Harry sat down next to her and joined her. He had to take care of this bet. He couldn't lie to the twins because they could simply find out just by talking to Ginny. And he defiantly did not want to moon professor McGonagall. "Ginny there's something I've been meaning to tell you."

"What is it Harry?" Ginny asked slowly turning her body towards him.

"Ever since the end of the war. When I saw your bravery and intelligence. I think that I've fallen for you." Harry said lying to her while looking her in the eyes.

Ginny felt her heart flutter at those words. She couldn't believe that the man she had always loved had finally confessed his love to her, especially when she thought that he would never feel the same way. Ginny felt the tears prickling her eyes. Suddenly she threw her arms around Harry. "I never thought I would hear you say that. I've always loved you Harry." She gently kissed him on the lips taking a bold step.

Harry shrank back. She wasn't supposed to feel the same way. And he had lied to her. If she found out she would kill him. He rationalized this in his mind though. If he dated her for a month and didn't do anything to drastic and acted loving and kind she wouldn't find out that he lied. That was all he had to do. Ginny leaned in a kissed him once again. This time he let himself kiss her back.

A/N: I know it's a little rushed but I couldn't think of another way for Harry to tell her. I promise it will get better as I go along. Please Review and let me know what you think.
