Harry Potter Oneshots

Brother's best friend (Ginny Weasley)

Ginny POV

"Hey Ginny!"

I heard someone calling my name. I turned around to see Ron and his best friends behind me. Harry Potter, Hermionie Granger, and Ella Middleton. 

I stop walking, allowing them to catch up to me. As they do, Ella ruffles my hair causing me to blush and look away. Hermionie smirks at me, knowing about my crush on the girl. 

How could I not like her though? Her light brown wavy hair falling perfectly over her shoulder. Godric she's so pretty. And so kind, she's always helping little lost first years, and took me on a tour of the castle at the beginning of my first year. 

Only problem, I'm not sure how Ron would react. I was 15 now, I could make my own decisions, but they were best friends. He was closer with her than he was with Hermionie and Harry. 

We all made our way to the great hall. Hermionie sat next to me, and Ron, Harry, and Ella sat across from us. I looked at Ella who was grabbing eggs from the bowl. How did she make the simplest things look so graceful?

"You're staring again," Hermionie whispered to me, bringing my attention to her. I smacked her arm and she giggled a bit.

"So Gin, how's classes going for you?" Ella asked me, grinning when she looked up. 

"Pretty good, although Snape's giving me a hard time in potions and I have no clue as to why?" she pondered aloud. Ella and Harry laughed as Ron grumbled and Hermionie smirked. 

"Your dear brother here had a potion explode in Snape's face. He's probably just taking some anger out on you," Ella said through her laughs.

"Shut up El," Ron told her and she gave him a cheeky smile. He picked up a bread roll and chucked it at her, hitting her on the nose. She glared at him as we all laughed. 

As dinner ended we all made our way back to the common room. I suddenly heard Ron ask to talk to Ella.

"We'll catch up with you guys," Ella says before they walk off. I wonder what they're talking about.

Ella POV

I walked off with Ron as he lead me to an empty hallway. 

"Look if this is about me stealing your brownie last night-" I start before he cuts me off.

"THAT WAS YOU?" he screams. Guess he didn't know bout that. "We'll get back to that later. This is about you and Ginny."

I got nervous. I have had a crush on the youngest Weasley since fourth year. I tried not to make it too too obvious but sometimes I couldn't help but stare.  Her smile was so pretty. I never went forward with anything though, I wasn't nervous about telling her. I was nervous as to how Ron would react. 

"What about Ginny?" I asked, trying to stay calm and failing miserably. 

"Don't play dumb with me El, I see how you stare at her. Or how you ruffle her hair or hug her all the time calling it "sisterly affection". How you're always asking her questions," Ron tells me with a bit of an eye roll before softening his face. "Do you like her?" 

I sit back against a wall before nodding. "I'm sorry Ron, I know she's younger than me, and she's your little sister. I didn't mean to fall for her, but I did. I can't help it. I'm sorry if you're mad though," I tell him.

He comes and sits down next to me. "I'm not mad. I get it you can't really control who you like. If I'm being honest, I'm glad if you were with her. Then I know it's not some nasty guy just trying to use her. She would be in good hands. I trust you with her." he tells me. 

"Wait so I have your approval to ask her?" I question. He nods and I hug him. He hugs me back and we stay like that for a while before he lets go. As we walk back to the common room, he tells me. 

"Don't hurt my sister though, Middleton. Or you'll have to deal with me," he tells me, becoming serious. 

"Does dealing with you include stealing my brownie?" I ask him. He hits me and I giggle. "Don't worry Ron, I wouldn't hurt her."

We enter the common room and walk over to Harry and Hermionie. 

"Where's Ginny?" I ask. Harry points to the other side of the room where she's alone reading a book. I thank them and walk over to her. She's sitting on a couch with her legs bent so she's fully on the couch. She doesn't see me behind her so I decide to do what any normal person would do.

"GINNY!" I scream grabbing her shoulders. She jumps and the book falls to the floor. She turns around. 

"Merlin Ella, you scared me." she breathes before glaring at me. "You made me lose my page."

"Aren't I more important though, darling?" I say, winking at her. She turns away to hide her blush. 

"Aww are you blushing?" I say, going around her to sit next to her on the couch, just in time to see her cheeks go three shades darker.

"Shut up," she says before picking up her book and trying to find her page again. I roll my eyes and take the book out of her hands. She looks up at me. 

"Can we talk?" I ask her. She nods and sits up a bit. I take a deep breath, now we're actually in the moment its a bit more stressful.

"Where to start? Alright I'm just gonna say it straight out. I like you. I've liked you for about a year and a half now, you're just so kind and sweet. You're smile can lighten the atmosphere of a room in an instant. And if all that isn't enough, you're so damn hot. To be honest I was questioning whether you have the same feelings, but seeing you blush earlier, super cute by the way, helped confirm it for me. Although I don't want to assume." I finish. I see her look, its a mix of confusion, happiness, and worry.

"Yeah, I like you as well. What about Ron though? You guys are best friends. I wouldn't want that to get in the way, you know?" she asks me and I nod. 

"That's what he pulled me away to talk about earlier, apparently my staring isn't as subtle as I thought," I tell her with a wink. She giggles a bit. 

"Well then, Ms. Ginny Weasley, want to make it official? Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask. 

"YES!" she screams. I laugh at her and pull her closer to me. I position her with her back to me, in between my legs (not the only time she'll be in between my legs ;)), with my legs hugging hers, as she laid her head against my chest.

"So, my darling girlfriend, what book where you reading?" I ask her. She goes to grab it before going back to her previous position. She goes on to tell me all about it. I wasn't really following, just listening to her voice. 

After a while I look down to see she had fallen asleep. Godric she was cute. I start stroking her hair as she sleeps, smiling down at her. I'm so lucky to have gotten an amazing partner.
