On her way up to her room she passed Harry's and saw that he was sitting at the window staring blankly out of it. She entered his room tentatively and said,

"Harry are you all right?"

"Yeah I guess I am," he replied.

When he turned and looked at her he had a small grin on his face. She looked at him quizzically and asked,

"Why are you grinning at me?"

"Because I heard you yelling at Ron and Hermione and I am imagining Hermione's shocked face and Ron standing speechless," he replied.

Ginny grinned at him for a moment and said,

"Well you are right about that. Well if that's all I will leave and let you be left alone."

She turned to go but then she heard him say,

"Wait Ginny. What if I want to talk to you?"

"Why me," she asked.

"Well right now I only really want to talk to you," he replied.

She nodded her head and went over and sat on the edge of his bed. She looked over at him and saw him staring out the window again. She just sat there for moment trying to decide what to say when his voice interrupted the silence.

"Hey Ginny I want to finish asking you what I tried to earlier."

"What is it," she asked.

"Well I haven't asked it yet," he replied lightly laughing.

Ginny smiled to herself when she realized that she made Harry laugh. She knew it was a rarity to get him to laugh after he discovered the prophecy.

"What I tried to ask you earlier was do you want to go for a walk," he asked.

"Sure let me go change into a more comfortable pair of shoes," she replied.

"All right I'll meet you downstairs in ten minutes," he said.

She nodded in agreement and got up to leave when he caught her wrist. She turned back and looked at him. He was smiling at her and said,

"Thanks Ginny."

"Anytime Harry," she replied.

She walked out of the room and then bolted for her room. When she got to her room she found Hermione sitting on the windowsill looking out at the countryside. She grabbed her tennis shoes and was tying them when Hermione finally realized her presence in the room. She noticed Ginny tying her shoes and said,

"Where are you off to?"

"Somewhere, but I'm not telling you."

Ginny stood up and walked out leaving a dumbfound Hermione behind. When she got to the bottom of the stairs she saw Harry standing there ignoring Ron who was questioning him like crazy. Harry looked at her pleadingly and she took the hint.

"Are you ready to leave Harry," she asked.

"Yeah sure," he replied quickly.

As they started to go out the door they heard Ron yell,

"Where are you going with my baby sister?"

Harry cringed when he looked at Ginny's expression that was thankfully aimed towards Ron and not him. She turned around with fire in her eyes and said,

"Ron you have no right to tell me who and who I cannot go with and for the fifty third time I am not your baby sister!"

She turned on her heel and slammed the door. When she turned around she saw Harry's expression and laughed.

"Are you happy that's not aimed at you," she asked.

"Yes very glad," he answered.

"Harry where are we going," she asked.

"I dunno. Do you want to just go for a walk," he asked.

"Sure," she replied.

As they started to walk Ginny looked up at Harry and saw that he was staring up at the open sky. As the comfortable silence settled between them Ginny decided that it was time to show him her secret hiding place.

"Harry I want to show you something," she said.

"All right, where is it," he asked.

"That you will find out in a minute," she answered.

All of a sudden she veered to the right and Harry almost didn't follow her. As they walked down another pathway Harry looked at Ginny and said,

"Ginny can I ask you something?"

"Sure shoot," she replied.

"Why are you showing me your secret hiding place," he asked.

"Because I trust you, and also because I hope that we can come here

again later and have a picnic here," Ginny answered.

As they rounded the last turn in the road Harry saw a small hill that had a single tree and a small swing. At the bottom of the hill there was a pond that glistened in the sunlight.

"See why I come here when I just want some quiet," she asked.

He nodded and kept looking around at the new surroundings. When he looked at Ginny he noticed that she had brought a bag.

"Hey Ginny, what are you carrying in that bag," he asked.

"Just something that you will find out about here later," she replied.

"Let's go set under that tree in the shade," he said.

When the reached the tree Ginny reached into the bag and pulled out a small basket and laid it down on the ground.

"Engorgio," she said.

Suddenly the picnic basket was enlarged to a normal sized picnic basket. She reached into the basket and began taking out various items from it. The first item she pulled out was some sandwiches and two apples. They both ate in silence until Ginny took out the caramel chocolates she had brought for herself and Harry. Harry's attention though was directed elsewhere at the moment. Ginny decided to bring him back to reality by waving the chocolate in front of him.

"Harry, look at what I have," she said teasingly.

"Ginny, you brought chocolate…and my favorite kind," he replied.

She smiled knowingly and just nodded her head. He began to reach for the piece but didn't get it because Ginny pulled it away from him. She began to make him try to grab it and it did various times but always failed. Finally she decided to let him have the piece. As he grabbed it his hand briefly touched hers and Ginny felt a jolt run through her. Little did she know that Harry felt it too. She looked over at him and saw that he was looking down at the pond again.

"It's rather large for a pond isn't it" he asked.

"Yes I suppose it is, but I like to call it a pond though," she replied.

"What time is it Ginny," he asked.

"A little after 1," she replied.

"All right," he said and leaned back against the tree.

A few minutes later Ginny turned to ask Harry a question but saw that he was asleep comfortably against the tree. She carefully scooted closer to him and tentatively leaned up against him. Just as she got comfortable she felt him move a little. She froze slightly and carefully looked up and thankfully saw that he was still asleep. She felt her eyelids growing heavy and decided to give into her drowsiness. Just as she felt herself falling into a deep sleep she vaguely felt something wrap around her torso.

A few hours later Ginny woke up and saw that the time had flew from 1 to 3. She tried to move but realized then that Harry had wrapped his arms around when she had fallen asleep. She decided that she would just enjoy this moment because she doubted that this kind of moment would ever happen again. She had just begun to enjoy being in Harry's arms when she felt him shift. She looked up and saw that his eyes were just fluttering open.

"How long have I been asleep Ginny," he asked.

"Around two hours," she replied.

She prayed that he wouldn't realize where his arms were. At first he didn't but as soon as he woke up more he realized that he had his arms around her. He quickly pulled them back and Ginny almost fell back against the tree.

"I'm sorry Ginny…really I am," he stuttered.

"It's not your fault Harry. I was the one who decided to sit next to you

after you had fallen asleep," she said.

"Oh," he said softly.

"Let's go back before Ron decides to come looking for us," she said.

They stood up and gathered all the stuff and put it back into the basket. Ginny shrunk it back down to a smaller sized and placed it back into her backpack. On their way back Ginny felt Harry staring at her several times. She thankfully was able to maintain her blush to a minimum. When they got back to the Burrow Ron was standing outside telling Hermione he was leaving to go look for Ginny and Harry.

"You don't need to Ron," Ginny said icily.

Harry could have sworn he felt the temperature drop after Ginny said that. 'Thank goodness she's not that angry with me,' he thought.

"Ginny where have you been for the past two hours," Ron yelled.

"Why would you care? It involves Harry and you don't seem to care

about him," she said.

"Ginny, I do…" he started.

"Don't talk to me," she said.

She took Harry by the arm and led him into the Burrow where Ron and Hermione heard the two being greeted by his mother.

"I'm going to have to have a talk with him later," Ron said.

"I don't think you will get anything out of him," Hermione said quietly.

Ron turned around and said,

"I think I will."

And with that he turned back around and went inside.

Hey everyone! This is all I have so far but don't worry I'm already working on Chapter 4 and I know the direction of where this is heading! I should have an update in a day or two!
