I love you, Ginny Weasley

'Hurry up Gin!' George called as he ran through the Burrow and towards the large pond located in the Weasley back garden.

'Just give me a minute!' The red-head answered from inside her bedroom. Her brothers thought she was changing but really she'd been wearing her bikini under her summer dress all day, waiting for someone to suggest a swim. It was the middle of August after all, who wouldn't want to cool down in the pond!? No, really she was checking her hair looked good and that it wasn't obvious she was wearing waterproof makeup. Normally Ginny Weasley hated the idea of dressing to impress a boy but today was different. Today there would be other girls there, other girls that any boy would take one look at and fall in love with. Ginny was slightly frustrated at herself for inviting them but they were her and her brother's friends and on a wonderful sunny day like that she wasn't going to give up that opportunity.

'Ginny?' she heard Hermione call with a soft knock at the door, 'can I come in?'

'Of course,' the Weasley answered and moved to open the door for her friend.

'Do I look okay Gin?' the older girl inquired taking a seat on the bed.

'Hermione you always look great, relax. Do I look okay is the question!' replied Ginny.

'You look great,' Hermione said, 'I know I shouldn't be worried Ginny but the thought of all those girls out there in bikinis with Ron just scares me a little. I mean what if Ron decides he'd rather have one of them?'

'Honestly Hermione,' Ginny said while collapsing onto the bed next to her friend, 'I feel exactly the same way. Just not about Ron obviously!' Hermione laughed before standing up and walking to the door.

'Come on then before those girls are all over our men!' Hermione stated and Ginny laughed before following Hermione out of her bedroom.

When Hermione and Ginny arrived at the pond Ron was talking with Dean and Seamus in the shallows and Harry was leaning against the edge in the deep laughing with Neville and two rather gorgeous girls, one blond, one brunette.

*I didn't invite them* Ginny thought and she started to worry.

'I'm going to go and see Ron, okay?' Hermione asked and Ginny smiled and nodded before walking towards Harry, smiling so that she could show those other girls that he was hers and they were happy together.

'Oh hey Gi-' Harry's words were cut off at the sight of his girlfriend. Her white bikini top was strapless and revealed just enough of her while not showing too much. *Unlike these other girls* Harry thought. Her body was tanned and in good shape because of all the quidditch she played and hours of laying in the sun with Hermione. Her bikini bottoms were also white and held at the sides by two gold hoops which just about revealed a freckle on her hip which Ginny hated but Harry loved. Her gorgeous locks of red hair were tied in a bun on top of her head and the thing that set it all off for Harry was her beaming smile.

Ginny giggled when she noticed her boyfriend's lack for words and slid into the pond next to him, pecking him on the cheek as she went.

'Hi guys,' she said to Neville and the two unnamed girls that Ginny had not invited.

'Hi Gin,' replied Neville smiling before adding, 'this is Grace and Charlotte.'

'Hey, I'm Charlotte nice to meet you,' the brunette said to Ginny smiling.

'And I'm Grace,' said the blonde girl frowning.

'I'm Ginny, nice to meet you,' Ginny said as Harry slipped an arm around her shoulder making her smile.

'We'd better get going,' frowned Grace, 'see you later.' And Ginny was fairly sure she winked at Harry before climbing out which made him pull Ginny closer to his body.

'Sorry about her, it was nice meeting you!' smiled Charlotte before quickly following her friend.

'Who invited them?' Ginny asked once the girls were out of earshot.

'George,' answered Neville, 'they work on the shop's management team.'

'Charlotte didn't seem to like me much,' sighed Ginny.

'No she has a thing about Harry you see,' Neville informed Ginny.

'Oh that makes sense now.'

'Yeah I said no plenty of times when she suggested 'going somewhere private' but she didn't seem to get the message until you came over,' Harry told Ginny.

'Well Grace seems nice anyways,' smiled Ginny.

'Yep complete opposites those two,' said Neville, 'well I'm going to see Luna, see you guys later.' Neville waved goodbye and left Harry and Ginny together at the side of the pond.

'You look gorgeous by the way,' Harry whispered in Ginny's ear, his breath tickling her neck as he turned to face her.

'You don't look so bad yourself,' laughed Ginny. She had been secretly checking her boyfriend out while the others were talking and even though she had seen him shirtless more times that she cared to remember she was always impressed. Harry had a very defined six pack and his body (like Ginny's) was tanned after hours in the sun over the summer.

'Should we go and join the others?' asked Harry motioning to the shallower part of the pond where most of the party was gathered: laughing, talking and swimming in the sun.

'Wait a second,' Ginny replied before kissing Harry. It was a short kiss but still full of love and passion.

'I love you, Ginny Weasley.'
