Chapter 7 – What do we do now
The next few weeks were a blur to Harry; he had avoided any conversations with Hermione over Ginny although she kept giving him looks when Ginny was close by. Which he had ignored but appreciated the silence over the issue, he was pretty sure Hermione knew what was going on and would confide in her when he felt ready.
He felt so confused and intoxicated by his feelings, Ginny had apologised for not telling Harry about her date and being the nice guy he was he just shrugged it off and said its ok. Neither Ron nor Hermione had told her about Harry's reaction in the great hall, and that he was grateful.
He had still hung out with Ginny but it was getting increasingly hard as they had to curb some of their habits of sleeping on the sofa together, just in case they did get caught. But if Ginny did experience a nightmare he would sneak up to her room and check if she was alright, Harry hadn't felt any interference with Voldemort entering his mind since his possession at the ministry on magic. He felt increasingly annoyed Ginny had to suffer him; he would have swapped places with her any day to stop her feeling the way she did after he invaded her.
The weeks turned into a month and Valentine's day was fast approaching, the students were given a ball to be held in the great hall that was to be organized by head boys and girls along with the prefects.
With Hogsmede not being an option this year, Dumbledore contacted the Order of the Phoenix and Aurors from the ministry and asked for some strict security in the village for approximately 4 hours so the student could gather what they needed for the ball.
It had been accepted although there were strict rules and schedules to be followed for the trip to go ahead, everyone who intended to leave the castle was put on a list and random small groups of student were to be accompanied by aurors and never left unattended. The threat was too risky to be unsupervised.
Ginny was obviously going with Michael, Ron and Hermione were going together and Harry just didn't want to go at all. What was the point torturing himself by watching Michael Corner with his hands all over the girl he was in love with. Other girls had asked him out of flirted with him to try and get him to ask them out, but Harry just wasn't interested in any of them witches. There was only one witch he wanted and if he couldn't have her, he didn't want any no matter how pretty they were.
The ball was a week away and everyone interested in going to Hogsmede had been and there had been no trouble apart from a few girls fighting over dresses they wanted.
...............................................................................................................................
Harry and Ginny were on their way back to the common room after supper one evening, they were talking and laughing comfortable as they made their way through the corridors.
"So Mr Potter, who you taking to the ball?" She asked while wiggling her eyebrows at him.
"No one, I'm not going!" he replied rather bluntly.
"Come on Harry, let your hair down for the night!" she replied as she came to a halt in the empty corridor, looking up at him expectantly.
"I just don't feel like it, there's no one I want to take." He lied.
"Well take a friend with you." She suggested.
"Tell ya want, if I think about it will you leave me alone?" he asked.
"Sure, of course." She agreed
Just as they were about to continue their journey, a group of first years ran down the corridor chasing Peeves who was hurling abuse at them. They didn't even see Harry and Ginny standing there and knocked them into an alcove in the corridors wall.
Ginny tripped over her own feet and landed pressed up against Harry with his arms wrapped around her, he pushed her behind him to check if there were anymore students following. When there was no more movement he turned around to check if she was in one piece, his breathe hitched in his throat at the sight of her. Her clothes were all crumpled and Harry could see a little of her cream skin of her stomach showing under her t-shirt, her red fiery hair framed her glowing face and her eyes made him melt. She was breathing quite heavy as the first years had give her a shock or so he thought, her curve her chest moving up and down as she stared into Harry's glowing green eyes.
"Harry?" she spoke uncertainly.
"Yeah."" He replied as his breathing became faster as he looked down at her.
"Kiss me...please...as a friend...I need to feel you!" she replied huskily as she looked hopefully into his eyes.
He couldn't deny her; the look she was giving him was sending him over the edge.
"You...sure...what...about?" he spoke as he edged closer to her body in the confined space hidden in the corridor.
"It's...just...us..." she replied as Harry's arms encircled her and she felt his hands on the small of her back as he pressed his body to her pushing her back into the wall. He moved his head closer until their foreheads were touching.
"Yeah...just...us!" as he slowly dipped his head to capture Ginny's top lip and revelled in her taste, he moved to capture her bottom lip and her eyes fluttered shut at the feeling of him so close. He pulled back and looked into her eyes and she opened her lust filled ones to see hers reflecting in his, he came back crashing his lips to hers. He ran his hands up and down her fully clothed back, when he felt her moan into his mouth; he took the opportunity to gently slide his tongue across her lips and started caressing her tongue with his.
Her hands found their way to his hair and she fisted it pulling him closer to her, they both knew things were getting out of hand but couldn't pull themselves away from one another.
Michael was really a nice guy he doesn't deserve this Harry tried to think, Ginny was thinking the exact same thing too. But Harry began to delve deeper into Ginny and any logical thinking was blown out of the water, he moved his hands back to her hips and started caressing them with his palm and Ginny head flew back as a wave of butterflies invaded her stomach. This edged Harry on even more and began moving the intense kisses down her slender cream neck, he was out of control again and so was Ginny.
"EW, YOU PESKY LITTLE BUGGERS BETTER NICK OFF! Came a screech from down the corridor.
As the first years that had knocked them out of the way moments earlier came running back along chasing Peeves, who seemed to be having a whale of a time with this new game.
Harry pulled back from Ginny after they passed and looked down at the girl he had his arms around, Ginny stared into his eyes and regained her breathing.
"That...was...intense." She admitted straightening her clothes.
"Yeah...it...was." Harry reply stepping back giving her room to move.
"I think we went too far though, we got a little carried away didn't we...again!" She admitted.
"Yeah...we really shouldn't of done that...it's not fair to Michael even though we are just friends." Harry lied the last part straightening his glasses and looking around to make sure no one had seen them.
"Your right...it's not fair." She agreed, "I just miss having you so close to me, I miss the contact between us."
"I miss it too Gin, but I don't think your boyfriend would like us sleeping together and especially wouldn't like what we just did. Anyway let's forget it and get to the common room before anyone knows we're missing." Harry forced himself.
"Yes...let's."
They removed themselves from the alcove and continued down the corridor, as they began talking and laughing like nothing had just happened. It was their little secret this time or so they thought.
A dark figure stepped out of the shadows and narrowed his steely grey eyes at the pair as they retreated away from the steamy scene they had just created, this was going to be fun he decided.
