Sudden Rain

"It's a nice day," Harry commented with a smile, as he and Ginny walked farther away from the Burrow.

"Yes it is." Ginny agreed. "Expect for maybe those dark clouds."

It was two months after the war and Harry and Ginny had decided to advantage of the beautiful July weather.

As the young couple walked, there was silence between them. Not uncomfortable silence, but companionable silence. They looked over the scenery, and let their thoughts run. They thought over all that had gone on recently and their newfound relationship. And as Harry thought of how much he loved her, he felt the urge to kiss her.

Harry walked out in front of her, placed one hand on her waist and the other on her cheek, and claimed her lips with his own. She whole-heartedly kissed him back.

As the young couple stood and kissed, they didn't notice the dark clouds coming closer. And, in record time, it started to slowly drizzle rain. Surprised, the couple broke apart and looked up at the sky.

"It's raining!" Ginny exclaimed excitedly. She put her arms out and her head back.

"We're going to get all wet." Harry pointed out, but Ginny just smiled.

"So?" Ginny inquired. "It's fun!" Harry just laughed. He loved the playful, lively personality of his girlfriend.

"When I was little," Ginny started. "I used to always come out and play in the rain with my brothers. We'd have puddle jumping contests, mud fights and play tag. Mum didn't mind much, since she had magic to clean us up with."

"It does sound like fun." Harry said almost wistfully.

"We can play tag right now," Ginny told him. "You're it!" And with that, Ginny was off. "You'll never catch me!" She called as she ran off. Harry laughed, before running after her.

He chased her around for a while, before she took mercy and slowed down. As she stopped, hand on knees and panting, Harry came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Gotcha'." Harry mumbled in her ear.

"I let you get me." Ginny murmured back as she snuggled into his embrace.

"I know," Harry whispered with a laugh.

Ginny turned around and looked at her soaking wet boyfriend. She reached up and ran her hands through his wet, tousled hair.

"I think it's raining harder now." Harry murmured through the rain.

"I think so too." Ginny agreed. She then traced a finger over his red, slippery lips, before reaching up and gently kissing him. "I've never done that in the rain. "Ginny murmured against his lips.

"Me neither." Harry whispered.

"There's something else I've never done in the rain." Ginny then whispered.

"What's that?" Harry asked curiously.

"Danced." Ginny said simply. She took one of his hands in her own and placed the other on his shoulder. Understanding, Harry put his other hand on her hip. They then danced to the steady drip, drop of the rain.

"I love you." Harry murmured after a moment and quickly added a gentle kiss.

"I love you, too."
