"Tunnel of love?" Ginny repeated. Harry nodded, hoping she'd say yes and get this over with because his heart is pounding like crazy with excitement and fear for what Ginny was about to answer. Ginny smiled at him. "I don't know what the tunnel of love is, but all I do know is that I love you and if I have to go through any tunnel with you, I would," she said.
Now I'm broken, and I'm faded
Harry happily let go of the breath he held. He took Ginny's hand and led her to the tunnel of love. Harry helped Ginny into the boat and hopped in after her himself. He found a cozy position for the two of them as the boat started to move.
"Isn't it pretty dark in here?" whispered Ginny, looking around seeing nothing but a dark tunnel. She looked at Harry. "What is this supposed to be?" she asked.
Harry laughed. "This is the general idea," he said. Ginny looked at him with a bewildered expression. Harry smiled at her. He was so happy to see her this cheerful again. "Close your eyes for me, will you, Ginny?" whispered Harry.
Ginny closed her eyes. Harry looked closely at Ginny's face. He placed his hand softly on her cheek. Ginny, still with eyes closed, touched Harry's hand lightly. Harry smiled and slowly closed his eyes as well. He leaned over and touched Ginny's lips with his. Ginny returned the kiss. With her other free hand, she hugged Harry and pulled him closer to her. Harry placed his other hand on Ginny's waist as he continued to kiss her passionately.
Ginny broke it off. Harry opened his eyes. "Harry," she whispered, "I love you so much."
Harry caressed her face. He swept away the hair on Ginny's face and stroked her hair. "I love you so much too, Ginny. I've loved you for so long. I don't know what kind of a life I'd have without you," he whispered back.
I'm half the man I thought I would be
Ginny smiled. She pulled Harry into another kiss. Harry chest seemed to explode inside as he explored Ginny's lips. The sweet taste of kissing her hasn't left him. Her love for her grew inside. He held Ginny close to him, never wanting to let go again.
Harry finally pulled away from Ginny and sat straight as the boat reached the tunnel's end. They both looked at each other and couldn't stop smiling. Harry looked at his watch as they got out of the boat. It was almost one thirty so they had to go back to the meeting place.
"There you are," said Ron. "Hermione said that the queue might be long so we have to line up now if we want to see the show." He looked at his widely grinning little sister. "What have you two been up to?" he asked.
Ginny showed Ron the stuff toy. "Harry won this for me," he said. Ron turned scarlet. He hadn't won anything for Hermione even if he tried, although Hermione repeatedly said that it was all right and she didn't need another stuff toy.
When Mr. Weasley showed up, they went and lined up for the next show. "So, how did it go?" he asked the two pairs. He seemed to be quite supportive of the coupling of his children to the two other people that was seemingly already part of the family.
"Good," replied Ron.
"Nice," said Hermione.
"It went okay," Ginny answered.
"Yeah, okay," said Harry.
Mr. Weasley knew it was more than good, nice, and okay; but he didn't bother asking for any more answers since he knew that they wouldn't give him the details anyway. They entered the tent which holds the circus. Mr. Weasley was surprised to see the tent as a rather simple tent, unlike what they have every time they watch an important Quidditch match.
The circus began. The Weasleys and Harry enjoyed it very much since they hadn't been to a circus in their life. Hermione, on the other hand, watched their overjoyed faces and was very happy herself.
"Look at that!" exclaimed Ron as he leaned forward to watch the Ringmaster command the lion to jump over the hoop. He looked at Hermione. "How do you imagine centaurs doing that for us?" he asked, entertained by the thought.
After the circus, they decided to go home by portkey since it was really tiring is they took the subway. They appeared at the Burrow to find Mrs. Weasley waiting for them by the kitchen with her hands on her hips and an irritated look on her face.
"Leaving without saying anything," she said. The five of them looked guilty. "Did you know how many times I called for you? You didn't even leave a note saying where you would be off to." She eyed Mr. Weasley. "And I am really disappointed in you setting a bad example for the kids."
Mr. Weasley looked at the four who were not about to come to his aid. "Molly, the kids aren't really kids anymore. Even Ginny is about to come of age soon," he said, hoping that Mrs. Weasley would cool off now given that excuse.
But you can have
"Still…" Mrs. Weasley looked at the four and ushered them out of the kitchen. "The four of you get changed now. Look at those dirty clothes you're wearing. Come down for supper after you've had a wash," she said and went back to her cooking.
Hermione and Ginny went to Ginny's room while Ron and Harry went to Ron's. "So what did you and Ginny do during the whole time?" asked Ron as he took off his shirt and threw it aside. He rummaged his closet to find a cleaner one.
"Nothing in particular," replied Harry, though he could still feel the moment when Ginny's lips touched his. "We just walked around. I won her that stuffed toy, then we got tickets to the tunnel of love and went there," he sad.
"The tunnel of what?" asked Ron, nearly dropping his pants. "I didn't know there such thing! Hermione didn't mention anything to me. Why didn't you say there was something like that? What is with that tunnel?" he asked curiously as he pulled up his pants.
Harry shrugged. "Nothing really. You just right in the boat pass through a tunnel, and that's it," he replied, knowing that Ron would ask more about it anyway.
"Then where's the love there?" asked Ron.
Harry just smiled. Ron threw him a pillow. Harry threw it back. "What did you and Hermione do then?" asked Harry as he closed his trunk where he kept his clothed.
"Walked around, talked, sat on the bench," replied Ron trying to make it sound interesting too, though he was more interested in the tunnel of love and wished he and Hermione could have gone on that ride too if only he knew about it.
"And?" said Harry.
"And nothing," said Ron. "I didn't get to win her anything really. I was hoping I could hex the other contraption so that it's ring the bell. You know, the game with that huge hammer, but Hermione noticed it and pulled me away from it. We just sat on the bench and talked and, well, you know," he said.
Harry nodded as they went out of the room. They met the girls in the living room. Both of them were giggling about something. "What are you girls talking about?" asked Ron as he sat on the floor and looked at Hermione.
"Nothing," Hermione lied, but she was smiling and Ron knew what they were talking about anyway.
Harry and Ginny's eyes met. Both of them smiled at each other.
what's left of me.
