Breaking the shadows

Victory's kiss

1996

Wednesday September 22nd

Harlow's perspective:

As the quidditch pith erupted into cheers and applause, I found myself caught in a whirlwind of emotions. My heart swelled with pride for Ginny, my fiery and determined love, who had just been named the newest Chaser for the Gryffindor team. The sight of her vibrant hair flying behind her as she soared through the air was simply exhilarating.

The match had been intense, with Ginny showing her impeccable skills, manoeuvring effortlessly on her broomstick, and scoring goal after goal. I stood on the side-lines, my hands gripping the railing tightly, unable to tear my eyes away from her. It was moments like these that I was reminded of just how much I love and admire her.

As the final whistle blew, signalling Gryffindor's victory, the crowd erupted into jubilant celebrations. Students rushed onto the pitch, engulfing the players in a sea of cheers and congratulations. I spotted Ginny making her way through the throng, her smile radiant and her blue eyes sparkling with excitement.

My heart swelled with joy as I met her halfway. Ginny's expression softened as she caught sight of me, and she reached out to grab my hand, intertwining our fingers. Her touch sent a shiver of anticipation through me, and I couldn't help but smile.

"I did it Harlow!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of elation and disbelief. "I made the team!"

I couldn't contain my excitement any longer. Pulling her into an embrace, I whispered, "I never doubted you for a second, Ginny. You're extraordinary, and this is just the beginning of your Quidditch journey."

Our eyes met, and I could see the happiness and pride reflected in her gaze. In that moment, surrounded by chaos and cheers of the crowd, time seemed to stand still. It was just the two of us, connected by an unspoken understanding and a love that was both fierce and tender.

Leaning in, I pressed my lips gently against hers, savouring the taste and warmth that was uniquely Ginny. It was a kiss filled with celebration, a testament to the countless hours of training and dedication she had poured into her dreams.

As our lips parted, Ginny's smile widened, and I couldn't help but mirror the expression. Our love was a flame, burning brightly at Hogwarts, and I was grateful for every moment we got together. Even though other students look down on us for our sexuality. 

"Thank you, Harlow," Ginny whispered, her soft voice, filled with emotion. "For always believing in me, for being by my side."

I smiled, my heart overflowing with love for this incredible woman. "Always, Ginny. I'll be here, cheering you on every step of the way."

Hand in hand, we walked back towards the castle, our fingers intertwined, ready to face whatever challenges and adventures lay ahead. Together, we are unstoppable, a force that would conquer the world. And with every kiss, every touch, our love blossomed, creating a bond that nothing can ever break.
