I don't own Harry Potter.

Chapter 6

Harry had managed to avoid Ginny without being obvious for a few days. How he did it, he didn't know. He spent time with Malfoy in the library, Hermione joined as well, but she was usually slipping in comments about Ginny. He finally became fed up with it one day and walked out, leaving a stunned Malfoy and Hermione.

Hermione had not been helping. His mind was in turmoil over Ginny. He still didn't know what his feelings were or what to do about them when he figured it out.

"Admit it, Ginny. You like Harry," Ron said walking beside his sister.

She groaned. "Ron! Shut up. We're just friends. Knock it off."

Ron smiled. "You're getting defensive. You like Potter!"

She broke into a run to get away but he caught up with her. "What, Ronald?" They stopped and stared at each other.

He smirked and pointed his wand at her. "Admit it or I'll hex you." He was joking of course and they both knew this.

She was tired of being bugged about Harry. "Fine. I like Harry Potter! Happy?"

"Extremely," he replied putting his wand in his pocket.

They turned to find an embarrassed Harry staring at them dumbfounded. "Sorry," he said before spinning around and walking away.

Ginny closed her eyes and groaned quietly. She pushed her brother away. "See what you did!"

She walked away to find Harry and explain that she just said it to shut Ron up. As she walked, she began to wonder. Did she still like Harry Potter? She thought she had gotten over him. Especially since they had become good friends. Now though, saying the words aloud had seem...well, right.

Harry walked aimlessly through the deserted hallway. Hearing someone coming, he threw his invisibility cloak over himself and stood against the wall. The person came around the corner and Harry held his breath. It was Ginny. Something snapped in his head and knew instantly whether he liked Ginny or not. With a smile, he followed her. Amazing how simple an answer could come to him.

She sighed and threw up her hands in frustration. She gave up her search. She was about to turn around when someone grabbed her and pulled her into an empty classroom. "Ginny," came a soft voice.

Her eyes widened. "Who is it?"

Laughing, Harry pulled of the cloak and appeared in front of her. She began laughing as well. She was about to explain what happened with Ron, when Harry lips touched hers in a gentle kiss. He stepped back as if stunned by what he had just done. His lips formed a small smile and waited for her response. His doubts were gone.

She began laughing as she realized she really did like Harry Potter. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him, a voice in her head telling she'd have to thank Ron.

They had the same thought in their heads... Amazing what one kiss can do.
