A Different Beginning
Just Friends
"Hey, no harm done, we'll just sort this out with a game of quidditch," Harry decided, "Now get me down from here."
"One little problem," Selena giggled, "The only way you can get down is if someone other than your family kisses you." Harry gasped, and all eyes went straight to Ginny.
"Oh no," Ginny said firmly, "We're just friends."
"But Ginniekins, what happened to marrying the boy-who-lived?" George asked in mock horror. Ginny blushed, and muttered incoherently.
"What?" Fred smirked.
"That was a long time ago," Ginny grumbled.
"By a long time, do you mean the day before you actually met Harry?" George teased, without realizing the effect.
"That's enough," Lily snapped, "We'll leave you two alone to, er, you know." With that, everyone left, leaving Harry and Ginny alone.
"I thought you liked me for who I am," Harry started, hurt in his voice, "I finally find someone who's my friend because I'm me, only to find out she's been obsessing over me all her life."
"I do like you for who you are, Harry, you're really my only friend, and besides, that was before I knew the real you, and I hardly judged you after," Ginny cried out.
"You thought I was buying your friendship," Harry mumbled.
"That's only because I hardly knew you, you said some things about friends, really confusing and now, my silly crush is gone, and I see you only as a friend, in fact, you're my best friend, which is why I'm getting you out of this situation." With that, Ginny climbed onto the bed, reached up and kissed him briefly. With a crash, they both fell onto the bed, Harry on top.
"Sorry," Harry panted.
"Understandable," Ginny gasped out, "Now get off of me." Harry quickly rolled over, and replayed what happened in his head.
"-JUST A JOKE, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?" Lily's screams drifted up the stairs, "ON HIS BIRTHDAY AS WELL!"
"Seems like Selena, Fred and George are really getting it," Ginny grimaced when she heard her mother's shouts join. There was a pause, followed by laughter that sounded like howls.
"Sirius, I'm going to bloody kill him," Harry growled.
"Just friends," Ginny checked.
"No," Harry answered gravely, "Best friends." Together, they walked downstairs, prepared to face the family and friends downstairs.
