I spent the entire day trying to make my hair look respectable, it kept flipping the opposite way of the other side of my head. If the left side flipped in, the right side flipped out. Finally I just magicked it to work. Then I didn't feel like wearing my hair down, so I just put it up, then I didn't like the way that looked, so I just made it cascade down my back in soft waves. I need a hair cut, my hair is at my butt. Harry was at work the entire day so that left the entire house to myself. I watched some t.v., then I showered, then I spent like five hours on my hair, then I got dressed.
Hmm…do I want to make him drool, or do I want him to at least look. I mean, Ginny you are a lady. Drool, definitely drool. I picked out my favorite dress. I bought it like two days ago and was wondering whether or not I should bring it back when Harry said I owed him dinner. It was a little expensive. Ok it was so expensive I blushed the entire time I bought it, but no other dress made me look so pretty. It's a tiny black velvet dress that hugs my curves, it has sparkles all over it, also it makes my cleavage really pronounced. There are very slim spaghetti straps that hold it on my body. Also I bought matching shoes. And a purse. Also some new make-up. I can afford it though so its not like I'm just wasting money. I work at the Ministry and at this time they don't need me, so I am on paid leave. I love it. Hermione was all happy this happened saying I could stay home incase burglars try to break in. Whatever.
I heard Harry pull up in his car, which is stupid, we are wizards. We should just Apparate but seeing as we live in a Muggle community Harry just thinks its easier to drive. I don't know I'm not going to fight with him. Anyways I ran into my room so that he couldn't see me before the date. I slipped off the shoes and put a bathrobe on. I came out just as he was walking in and he smiled.
" I'll get dressed and I'll be out in a second. I also have to shower so it might be more than a minute," Harry said as an afterthought. " Did you decide where we're going tonight?" he asked as he walked into his room.
" Yeah, I found this tiny little place I fell in love with. I think you'll love it," I said smiling. It was a tiny little hole-in-the-wall. I found it by mistake and just literally fell in love. They had the best food I ever ate. I grew up with mum, so saying this means their food is pretty damn good.
" Great," Harry walked out and into the bathroom. I heard the shower go off and I went back to my room. I took off the bathrobe and rearranged my hair. I slipped the shoes back on, they bit at my feet but they looked great. I'm not going to ruin an outfit because my feet are bleeding.
Harry knocked on my door and I jumped. I almost stuck the mascara brush in my eye. I cursed and put everything back into my bag.
" Yeah?" I asked after a minute.
" I'll be in the living room. Are we going to drive?" Harry asked.
" No, we can walk its close." I called making sure I looked alright.
" Ok," Harry said and I heard him walk away.
" Now Ginny you look great. Knock him dead." I muttered to myself and stopped. This wasn't a date. This was just friends going out to dinner. I've been going about this likes it's a date. Oh god, I'm going insane. Should I change? No. Its too late now. I'll just have to make do with it.
I opened the door and slowly walked down the hall. I saw Harry sitting with his hands on the arms of the chair. He looked up when he heard my door open. I saw his mouth drop and his eyes widened.
" Ok, lets go." I said. I smiled over at him. " What is something on my dress?" I asked innocently twirling around smoothing the back of the dress. Crap. I did it again. I usually do that on a date.
" No," Harry said shaking his head. " Nothing's wrong," Harry stood up and ushered me out into the warm night. I smiled happily and breathed in the polluted London air. I loved London. Way better than where I used to live with Hermione, nothing interesting ever happened there. Here there was an amazing chance I was going to get…mugged. I saw it on t.v. today. I thought that woman was so silly, why didn't she just whip out her wand and turn him into a toad. That's when I remembered they're all muggles. I laughed at my own silliness than almost cried. I don't know why.
" I love it here," I cried as I almost twisted my ankle on a broken cobblestone. Harry smiled over at me and then snapped his eyes away. Mother fucker, I was doing it again. I kept using all my tricks and I was afraid it was working. I cant make him fall in love with me. It took me three years after I lied and told everyone I was over him, to actually get over him. It was the hardest thing I ever did. Even harder than loosing ten pounds.
Harry glanced at me again and smiled. I smiled back and we arrived at the restaurant. I opened the door and smiled as the bell jingled signaling the arrival of guests. It smelled like cinnamon and dough. The tiny room held twenty tables, most were filled already. I glanced at the plates as we passed by. Oh, I really wanted pizza. Harry looked absolutely pleased with where I decided to go. I smiled and a waiter appeared by my side.
" Oh, they do know how to Appararate!" I hissed at Harry who snorted into his menu. The waiter looked annoyed and I just sat back huffily. Harry was still smiling when he ordered champagne. I watched the waiter walk away muttering something about tourists. I didn't even ask. I could act like a muggle. I wasn't an idiot.
" So, how was your day?" Harry asked. He took a sip of champagne and I recounted about the silly woman on television. He snorted again and I realized he must find my stupidity amusing. Usually I would find that aggravating, but somehow it seemed endearing when it was him. Everything was better with him.
I gasped and closed my eyes. Oh, I did not just think that. Oh no. I'm not going to let myself fall for him. I cant. I just got over him.
" Is everything alright?" Harry asked concerned.
" Yeah," I smiled at him and realized it was to late. I was back where I was in school. Everything he did made me want him more. I felt my cheeks flame up and felt like an idiot. I hadn't blushed in six years.
" What do you want? Everything looks amazing," Harry said. I looked at him and found I wasn't in love with him. I just loved him. I loved his ways and his faults. He made me laugh. That didn't mean I was in love with him. Great. And now we're back to denial. " I want pizza," Harry looked over at me. " What are you going to have?" Harry was looking at me.
" Pizza sounds amazing," I said smiling. I could do this. I was an adult. I have had sex. I am not a school girl.
" Want to split one?" Harry asked staring at me over the menu.
" Sure," I replied lightly.
" We can have half and half," Harry said looking at the choices. " You're hot," Harry said.
" Thank you," I replied before I could stop myself. I realized he had placed his hand on my cheek. He laughed and I found myself smiling. Ok, the only way to stop these retarded feelings, were to flirt. Furiously. Like a minx, or a scarlet woman.
" Ok, so I am going to have cheese. What would you like?" Harry asked placing his menu down.
" Cheese sounds great," I replied leaning slightly in to him. The waiter returned and took our order. I smiled at him and acted like I didn't almost tell him I was a wizard. I could tell he still didn't like me. Fine. Whatever.
" Harry I-" I began when I suddenly stopped. I felt something up around my neck snap. At first I though the straps to my dress fell apart, then I realized it was my necklace. I felt the back of my neck.
" Ginny you're necklace fell in your," Harry said blushing. " Here," he grabbed the string and pulled it out. I felt his hands brush against my breast and suddenly I really felt hot. I took it from him and smiled.
" Thanks, seriously my cleavage is like a wishing well. Anything get thrown in there," I smiled as he laughed. I noticed he was trying hard to not look at my chest. I smiled. Ok this was working. " I really wish this necklace hadn't broken. My dad got it for me when I graduated. I haven't ever not worn it," I said feeling like I was going to cry now.
" We can fix it," Harry said quickly.
" I know," I said and smiled up at his kind, gorgeous face. STOP IT!
The rest of the night went well and I found myself having an amazing time. I laughed and drank more than I have in a long time. By the time we left I could tell I was almost drunk. Not quite. Harry held his booze amazingly well for someone who had seven glasses of champagne. I had a record ten and found myself trying to control what came out of my mouth.
When we returned home Harry walked me to my room. I turned to him and smiled.
" I had a lovely night," I whispered. I could feel the tension sizzling through the room. " Goodnight," I leaned in and kissed him. I pulled away from him and smiled. He looked stunned and I walked into my room and closed the door. I fell on my bed and was asleep within seconds.
A/N Please review. Some people have been asking why they drive a car and that's because they live around muggles. Ok I don't know I just put a car in. Sue me. Love you all, please review.
