!1997: 10, !complete, ginny weasley, harry potter

Who: Harry, Ginny
When: Thursday Night (Backdated)
Where: Room of Requirement
What: Checking the RoR's enchantments. ~~Ginny uses a flimsy excuse to get Harry alone.~~
Rating: T.B.A. Probably tame.
Open/Closed: Closed.

Harry met Ginny downstairs a few minutes late. Largely because he'd tried to decide if he should bring Hermione or not. And then when he decided that he should, he'd had to get Parvati to go up and fetch her from the girls' room so he could ask her. When he'd explained that Ginny had asked him to come with her so they could experiment a bit with the Room of Requirement to see if it could give them multiple exits or entrances, and how safe it was, Hermione had given him a look that said he was an idiot in an infinite number of ways, and then told him to go with Ginny before rolling her eyes and going back upstairs to do her homework.

So no help there.

Harry grimaced a bit but headed downstairs, cloak tucked under his arm as he met Ginny in front of the portrait. "Sorry - I had to ask Hermione something. Ready?" he asked Ginny, reaching up to push his glasses further up on his nose and giving her a slightly awkward smile. He really missed the days when the youngest Weasley didn't turn him into a bubbling idiot, sometimes.

Ginny couldn't keep her smile to herself, standing here, snogging someone who was half invisible and she let out a little laugh. Harry'd kissed back though, at least she thought he had, and that was something. Her heart fluttered happily in her chest and she was glad they were alone, away from any brothers or parents or anyone else to interrupt them. There wasn't that press of secrecy like there had been at the beginning of the summer, the hurried, awkward moments they'd shared, always aware that someone could walk in one them at any moment.

This was good, this was nice. Sure, Harry wasn't the best snogger in the history of snogdom, but that was alright. Ginny was perfectly okay with teaching him. He stepped back, uncertainly and she gave him a small, encouraging smile, biting the inside of her cheek to keep her bubbly grin inside.

He wasn't moving towards her again, but he also wasn't running away and she swayed towards him slightly, hoping he'd take the hint and kiss her again.

Harry was inept. But he wasn't COMPLETELY daft. He saw the way she leaned in, and that she was smiling, and he grinned back a little, starting to lean back in.

He'd only just started to kiss her when the part of his brain that Harry would probably term "sensible" and Ginny might have another name for kicked in. "Ermm," he leaned back again, taking a step away.

Harry was hunting down bits of an evil wizard's soul. People were trying to kill him every other day. It wasn't fair to Ginny to get her any MORE involved in that, and Harry couldn't let himself think about how nice she smelled, or how soft her lips had been. He had to be practical because he couldn't HAVE a girlfriend.

Not to mention the best-friend-shaped redhead who would punch him in the face when he heard. Though that was, admittedly, an obstacle Harry probably would have ignored, normally. "Ginny. . . I like you and all. But I can't. . . we shouldn't." Bugger. "I mean with everything going on, we should just. . . be friendly. Not. . . snogging friendly." Harry wondered why she even WANTED to snog him, considering he was such a prat around her most of the time lately.

Harry was kissing her back. Harry was kissing her back. Ginny smiled into the snog, just as Harry pulled back. Her face fell even as she tried desperately to school it. She failed and for a long moment her disappointment and embarrassment was fully evident on her face before she managed to pull herself together.

A million responses ran through her head, she was aware of the danger, being with him didn't put her in any more danger, she was a blood traitor for Godric's sake, her whole family was like public enemy numbers two through ten, but nothing came out when she opened her mouth.

She felt sick, like someone had punched her in the stomach, and all she wanted to do was to run back to her dorm and sob into Sam's shirt, but she managed to ground out, "You should go check where that door lets out," while curling her hands into fists, her nails digging into her palms in a monumental effort to keep from saying anything else.

Harry saw the look on her face and bit his lip, hand emerging from nothingness to scrub awkwardly through his hair before he shoved it back in the cloak. "Gin. . . I didn't mean. . . it's not that I don't want. . . There's just loads going on, yeah? I don't even know how much I'll be around and people try to kill me every other bloody day. It's just. . . more than I should have going on right now, yeah? It's not that it wasn't. . nice." He winced inwardly at the word, knowing it was a very bad choice. It had been more than nice. It would have gotten better, he was pretty sure.

He groaned a little and then nodded. "Yeah. Just. . . shut the door after me, okay?" He had a feeling she might not be willing to open it again for him, at this point.

Gritting her teeth, Ginny crossed her arms over her chest, hugging herself tightly. "You should go." She ground out, feeling the stinging at the bridge of her nose that signalled tears and desperately not wanting Harry to see her cry.

He was talking, babbling and all Ginny heard was nice. It was nice, she was nice. Bloody NICE. Had Cho been nice? Had he gone back to Ron and Hermione after snogging Cho and said that it was nice?! Ginny bloody well thought not.

Ginny reached out and gripped the edge of the door, biting the inside her cheek to keep from shouting at him, her mouth a thin line. Nice. Well, that settled it. Clearly, Harry wanted nothing to do with her and was just trying to let her down as best he could. The prat.

"Go." She repeated, holding onto the door to keep from slamming it on him.

"Right," Harry answered nervously.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to tell her that he noticed she was a bit like her mum when her mouth went all tight and angry like that. Like when Molly was having it out at Fred and George about something.

He ducked out the door, turning around to look. As soon as he stepped out of contact with it, the wall melted together, looking seamless. So right. One way only. Even if she left the door open. Which Harry thought she probably hadn't. Brilliant for the D.A.

And not actually that bad for him either, since it meant he got to hide in the cloak and walk the long way around back to the Room's entrance. By the time he got back, Ginny might have. . . stopped looking like she wanted to cry. Or kill him.
