Chapter 3

Unknown POV

Fred and George had their heads together in the corner, occasionally shooting glances in Ginny's direction. To someone who knew Fred and George they would assume that they were thinking up yet another joke for their future joke shop. Although this would be the topic around their usual conversations that time their conversation was centered on their youngest sibling who had been acting very strangely.

"Something's up."

"You don't say, George. I have never seen a Weasley leave the table without finishing their meal."

"Don't look at her Fred; we don't want her to know we're talking about her. I wonder what's wrong. She gave us that evil glare yesterday morning."

"Ok, what has happened in the last week to make her all…strange?"

"Not sure, we shall talk later because she's staring at us."

Ginny started at Fred and George with an amused but at the same time confused expression. They walked past her into the kitchen to find Ron chewing on pumpkin pasties and humming to himself.

"Ron, have you noticed…" Fred started.

"Something wrong with Ginny," George finished.

"Yeah but I don't think it's anything to be worried about."

"Ron! She's our little sister of course it's something to worry about."

"Well I don't know anything and you don't know anything, so no one knows anything about it."

"That's why we have to find out."

"I don't think we do."

"Ron you are so hopeless!"

Fred and George stomped out of the room clearly annoyed and ready to formulate a plan to fix the problem for Ginny.

Ginny POV

I knew they were talking about me form the way they looked over at me. It was almost too obvious how they lowered their voices when they went to go talk to Ron. It was somehow annoying but I knew they didn't have any clue what was wrong and I wasn't about to tell them. When I was sure Fred and George had gone upstairs I walked into the kitchen.

"What was all that about?"

"Err…nothing…nothing at all."

Ron's face went all red and he couldn't look at me. I knew he was lying; he was never a good liar.

"It didn't sound like nothing."

"Well that's what it was, ok! It was nothing, I don't know why you would think it was anything, 'coz it was nothing!"

He was angry and I didn't care because he was annoying me. I turned around so I wasn't facing him anymore and crossed my arms. I was sure he felt bad and a little guilty about yelling at me, but I wasn't about to forgive him because he was being…well Ron. I heard footsteps hurrying down the stairs and I just hoped that person could save us from the awkward silence. My hope disintegrated when I heard the all too familiar voice.

"Ron what's up with Fred and George? They just stomped up the stairs and banged the door. They seemed pretty pissed."

"I don't know Harry, ok. I don't know everything; I'm not a genius like Hermione. I don't know what you expect from me. Some people just don't understand that under pressure like this I can't answer everything. Why doesn't everyone just leave me alone?"

I saw Ron disappear outside mumbling something about too many questions and being under pressure. He's so childish sometimes but I think he just wanted to escape that awkward situation I was in. That's when it hit me that I was in the same room as Harry. My whole body stiffened and I tried to control my breathing.

I slowly turned around to see Harry still leaning near the door frame staring at me. He probably thinks I'm so weird standing as still as a statue turning on my feet. I tried to act normal and dropped my arms and tried a lame excuse at a smile. His body stiffened and my smile faltered. I felt my face go hot and I knew I was displaying yet again another famous Weasley blush.

"Err…hi Gin."

My heart skipped a beat because he just called me Gin. I can't believe he just said that. I had waited so long to hear Harry say my name in that way.

"Hey Harry."

My voice cracked and I was amazingly embarrassed. He must have thought I was going nuts or something. I didn't know how I was going to get out of this sticky situation but I hoped something would come up soon.

"How are you today Gin?"

He did it again and I couldn't take it I beamed, he must have thought I was crazy.

"I'm ok, how are you?"

"Yeah I'm alright."

I decided if I stood up any longer than I was going to faint. I moved toward the table and offered Harry a seat. For the first time since Ron left Harry moved from where he was standing. He looked a bit faint but still his eyes shone with all the beauty in the world.

"Hey, would you like something to eat or drink?"

"Thanks Gin that would be lovely."

The way he said that made me shiver. He noticed.

"You're not too cold are you?"

"Nah I'm fine."

I can't believe how stupid I was acting. I was never going to get anywhere with Harry and I didn't know how I was going to get over him that time. I gave him his tea, just the way he liked it. He smiled at me and it took my breath away. I sat down and faced him. He was gorgeous.

"Hey Ginny…"

I snapped out of my fantasy of him, as always.

"Can I ask you a…personal question?"

"Sure Harry, what did you want to know?"

"I know this might seem a bit weird and all but…I know you used to like me when we first met…"

I gulped, where was he going with this?

"I was just wondering whether you umm…well still like me."

I felt like I had just been slapped in the face, but it felt warm. The hand that slapped me felt soft and smooth, like nothing I had ever felt before. I felt a chill, but a warm chill at the contact. An electric shock passed through my body and I shivered.

"I'm sorry Gin that was probably out of order. It was just a question and you don't have to answer it. I mean…"

"Harry no wait."

I cut him off in desperate need to get a hold of my thoughts.

"No I understand Ginny. I understand that you waited that long and I should have seen you for who you are today. You're a beautiful young woman who has a great personality that I was blind to. I'm so sorry I didn't see you and I'm sorry that you had to wait for something that never came. I understand the pain that I put you through and I will never forgive myself for that, but now I hope you can forgive me. I'm sorry Gin and I think I love you."

Tears started rolling down my cheeks as he spoke the words that filled me up. I realised that finally he liked me. He saw me as more than just his best friend's sister or his little sister. He saw me as my own person, a woman.

"See I've made you cry. I can't do anything right."

"Oh Harry. You can't even imagine how happy you have just made me."

"I'm sorry Gin…What?!...you're happy?"

"Yes Harry. You've happier than I have been in a very long time. You see I have never stopped loving you. I think I just convinced everyone else and so I almost convinced myself. I always loved you no matter how much I was convinced I had moved on. Lately I have been confused though. I knew you were coming here this summer like you have been ever since the start of your second year. This year was different though, I can't explain exactly how. I just knew it would be. When you came I was unsure of everything and trying to sort out my thoughts. I wasn't expecting you but you were there and I wasn't ready. When I saw you I felt the little girl I used to be come out again. The little girl who loved you was back and I was breathless. So Harry, don't be sorry for anything. Don't be sorry for loving me because Harry, I know I love you."

Harry's smile was unbelievable. It reached his eyes and lit up his whole face. I was sure this was going to be the start of a new beginning. I had noticed that our hands were linked and we had moved forward gazing intently into each others eyes. I was content until Fred and George burst in. I remembered I had older, overprotective brothers.
