In the shadow of Hermione Granger.

Meeting with Ginny:

Sunday October 28th

I meet Ginny by the big globus as we agreed earlier, she hugs me and says: "Glad you could make it, there's something I've been wanting to tell you"

"Really, I have something to show you later"

Ginny: "Okay." She takes a deep breath as she is nervous, so I say: "Whatever it is, you can tell me"

Ginny: "I know, I just don't know how to tell you, I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I don't know If its wired to ask"

"You can ask me anything, I will do anything for you"

Ginny: "I know" she sighs and continues, "I don't know if this is a bit wired, but I wanted to ask you, would you, practise something with me?"

"Yeah, anything of course, Is it spells or?" I'm excited to help her, but Ginny cuts me off: "Harlow, this has nothing to do with school"

"Oh okay, what do you want to practise then?"

Ginny takes a deep breath and then leans in and whispers in my ear: "Can we practice kissing?"

I look at her confused: "But you have kissed with Dean, haven't you?"

Ginny: "Yeah I have, but I didn't have feelings for Dean I have feelings for Harry, and we haven't kissed yet, and I'm scared that he thinks I'm a bad kisser"

"Okay, I'm sure you're not though".

Ginny: "But what if I am?"

To be honest, I don't know how to feel about it, I think its normal to kiss with your friends, but I don't even know how to kiss, so what if she thinks I'm a bad kisser, the panic hits me and all I can say is: "Sure, I will practice with you"

Ginny: "Thank you, thank you so much"

"But we cant do it here, there can come people any minute"

Ginny: "You are right, lets go to your room"

I can't believe this is happening, but it is I'm freaking out on the inside, and I can't believe that my first kiss ever is my best friend.
