Ginny's POV:

My mind was going crazy on my way down to quiditch practice. The rest of vacation had gone by in a blur.

I had hung out with Ron, Harry and Hermione a lot, and talked to Harry occasionally, but it wasn't the same with Hermione and Ron there.

What was with that wink? And did he feel the electricity when we touched too? Oh I'm so confused.

I should probably get my head in the game though, Harry is quite strict when he's playing the captain role, though not as bad as Wood, or so I've heard.

When I got to the pitch, everyone was already flying around warming up, I got up in the air and Harry yelled to me "Hey Weasley! I don't tolerate late players!"

"Actually," I called back, "I'm two minutes early! I don't tolerate Captains without a watch!"

He smiled and got into his "motivational" speech he gave before every practice.

Harry looked so good on his broomstick, with his hair whipping in the wind….. "Hey Ginny! Focus!"

"Oh! Sorry Demelza!" oops ; ), haha "Hey Gin!, Don't make me regret adding you to the team!"

I liked his little nickname for me! "You won't when we whip Slytherin Harry!" Hmm maybe you'll be so excited you'll ask me to the ball! No, don't think that, don't get your hopes up. Be realistic.

All in all it was a good practice, especially for right after a long break of flying, Harry looked pleased, and was in a good mood, until he asked, "Who's going to help me put away the equipment?"

Suddenly all of the team was talking about how they had a lot of homework, and tests to study for right away, and they started walking up the hill.

Harry looked about ready to hex them all from behind, so I offered to stay and help; "I'll stay Harry, don't do anything rash."

He instantly calmed down and smiled, "Thanks Gin, I knew I could count on you!"


Harry's POV:

"-I knew I could count on you." I say, oh she's so cute, she smiles looking down. I realize this is the first time we've been alone since that day at the burrow.

She is so sweet to help me, she actually looks like she doesn't mind, maybe…no, that's crazy, she couldn't still have feelings for me, when she liked me she couldn't be in the same room as me. Besides, even if she did, it's not like I could act on it.

It's crazy how long we can go without talking, and it still isn't awkward. "It looks like a storm's coming." She says frowning up at the sky. "Oho!" I exclaim, "Now who's talking about the weather?" she laughs along with me.

She must have been asked to the ball already, with a smile like that…. Though I haven't heard she's going with someone, if she's not, oh but Ron… wait this is good!

I can ask her to the ball, and sense Ron's reaction, if he seems mad I can just say it was to have the fan club let off! Yes its perfect! And if he seems fine, I can go along being the happiest guy in the world!

While I've been having this little epiphany, we started walking up to the school. Thunder crashes above us. It starts to pour like I've never seen. We run towards the school laughing historically, and I grab her hand to drag her along.

Her hand is so small and fragile. How can it be so warm in this weather? It feels so nice, so right. I know I have to take the chance, I have to ask her, even if she says no, I will at least not have to wonder for the rest of my life….now just to work up the courage.

We keep running even when we get inside, we run all the way up to the portrait hole holding hands, and we have real trouble saying the password because we cannot breathe from laughing.

When we finally get in, we stop at the stairs that separate the dorms. Everyone is looking at us like we are lunatics. Who cares, I'm as happy as I could be, well…almost.

Our laughter settles and we are left looking into each other's eyes, hers are so beautiful brown. She looks down and says "Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow Harry." I nod and she slips her hand out of mine.

I can't hold it in, she's almost in the dorms, I call out, "Hey Gin!" She turns and looks at me surprised. "Um, I'll see you at breakfast?"

Author's Note: Hehe poor Harry didn't have the courage, but don't worry he'll work it up soon. This chapter kind of went along as I typed it, hopefully it works! My computer crashed so that's why I couldn't update sooner. As always review! And thanks again to all my reviewers who help me so much! Oh and thanks to Justin Bieber for making the best music to listen to! J
