They sat & talked in the imitation Honey Dukes for hours. Ginny learned about Harry's life. She was eager to learn more about him. He talked about his aspiration's to be an Auror, his life with the Dursleys and what his private lessons with Dumbledore were about. She always knew Harry was down to earth but hearing him speak this candid made her like him even more. Anyone would think that being this famous hero, he would be conceited, he was far from it. He was confident but not to the point of arrogance.
The conversation wasn't all about him either. Harry asked Ginny many questions about growing up with a large family & being the only girl. He seemed to stay clear of the topic of her being possessed by Voldemort. She liked that he knew that she didn't want to relive that. He complimented her being a great Chaser, on her spell casting abilities and her looks.
Ginny glanced at the wall clock, it was four in the morning. She hopped off of the cushioned bench they were sitting on.
"We better head back" Ginny said.
"I guess you're right. I enjoyed my time with you" Harry smiled.
"I did too" Ginny grinned back.
"So where does this leave us?" Harry asked, still sitting on the bench, looking up at her. He looked as if he would be severely hurt if she told him she wasn't interested.
"I don't know what you want from me" Ginny said. She really didn't know.
"I want you to be my girlfriend" Harry said.
"I heard about how your relationship with Cho Chang. Are you sure a relationship is what you need? After you telling me about all that's on your plate nowadays, a relationship might just be another complication for you" Ginny said. She was trying to be rational about this. She wanted to be with Harry but she wanted to know exactly where his head was at.
"Let me be the judge of what I can and cannot handle. Don't ever call yourself a complication, if anything, you're an asset" Harry said with a grin.
"Oh, so I'm something to obtain?" Ginny asked, she was slightly insulted.
"No you're something to be treasured & loved" Harry said, getting up facing her. "I would be honored if you chose to be with me. Even though I have a lot of things going on, I will always make time for you. I know you're busy as well so I could only hope you'd make time to accommodate me as well."
He said all the right things.
"I'm breaking things off with Dean" Ginny said.
"Are you sure?" Harry asked, looking into her eyes.
"Yes. I'm sure" Ginny replied. Harry kissed her, holding her in his arms for who knows how long.
When he finally let her go, he said "Let's get out of here. Meet me back here, same time. I want to by then be able to officially call you mine."
"Deal" Ginny said, enthusiastically.
