ALWAYS (Hinny)

Chapter 17 : Heaven

The sky was grey and it was cold. The leaves were no longer falling and you could really feel that it was the beginning of November. It was Tuesday evening and we had a Quidditch training. I stepped on the grass of the pitch. It was raining.

"Well the weather's surely on our side." Harry said joking.

I laughed. "I've never felt more supported."

He chuckled.

"Should we begin?" Dean asked from behind us.

"Yeah." Harry and I replied together.

We were flying. The rain was pouring down. I nearly couldn't see anything. But we had to practice. The match against Ravenclaw was Saturday in two weeks.

I caught the quaffle Sara sent me, and threw it at Ron who caught it. I sighed. Suddenly I felt a huge pain in my left side. A bludger had hit me. I nearly fell of my broom and I heard a wisthle blast. It must have been Harry.

"Gin are you okay?" I heard him yell. 

"Yeah I guess.. it hurts a bit..." I said, though the pain made me close my eyes.

"Gin go to the changing room and take a look at it." I heard Harry say.

"But-"

"Ginny please."

I sighed and obeyed. I went to the changing room and looked at my reflection in the mirror. Shit. I was a bit.... bloody... I sighed. I took off my jumper and took a tissue to clean up my left arm and collar bone. My hair was completely soaked. A few minutes later the other members came in.

"Hey Ginny you okay?" Sarah asked.

"Yeah it's just hard to get rid of that blood."

"I'm sorry." Cory said.
"So am I." Rachel added.

"Don't worry I'll be fine."

We all looked at the doorway when Harry got there.

He looked at me worryingly.

"I'm okay." I said. He nodded, not really convinced.

The others changed and all got out one by one.

"Well, see ya Harry! Same Ginny!" Said Dean as he stepped out.

"I'm going to the common room..see ya" said Ron before leaving too. There was just Harry and me left.

"Are you really okay?"

"Well.. of course it hurts a bit but it's okay."

He nodded.

"Let me help." He said taking a tissue too.

He began to clean up my arm and then he got to my collar bone. I shivered. I looked at his hand and and then realized that he was really close to me. I looked at him. He was really attractive with his wet hair all dishevelled. My eyes met his and we couldn't move. I could feel his breathing on my forehead. My eyes then fell on his lips. I was thrilled. We were getting closer and closer. He slowly leaned in and finally, our lips met. I felt like a firework was exploding inside me. I had wanted that for so long! We pulled apart and slowly looked in each others eyes.

And with no warning, he kissed me passionately. I let my tissue fall down and ran my hands in his wet still messy hair. One of his hands was in my hair and the other was on my hip. I suddenly pressed my body against his. We deepened the kiss even more. My hands slid to the hem of his jumper and I took it off. I couldn't think. I was in another world. In heaven maybe. I let out a moan and I didn't even care. His fingers slid under my shirt, making me shiver. My arms came up his torso and he suddenly grabbed my thighs, leading me to wrap my legs around his waist. He pushed me against the wall, grabbed my butt and we groaned. I had just taken his shirt off when the door shut open.

We jumped apart still panting. Harry's hands were still on my bum. Dean was standing there, shock on his face. I cursed under my breath. He just ruined the best moment of what I remembered of my life.

"Oh... sorry" he said awkwardly. "I just forgot my gloves here... found them" he picked them up from the bench. "I'll just.. go." He finally said, glaring at Harry's hands, which hadn't move. I was still close to him. We watched Dean leave, then we just stayed there, not moving, still trying to take in what had just happened.

"We.. we should change and go back to the common room.." Harry finally said.

"Yeah.. right." I replied. I headed to the girl's room.

***
I sighed as I closed my bag after changing.
I was so confused. What had just happened? We were normal and then... we just started to snog.. and that such a meaningless word.. we nearly did it.. if Dean hadn't interrupted us .. in the changing room.. I didn't know what could have happen if Dean hadn't interrupted that. I still could feel the sensation of Harry's hand on my body. It was so great... It was the first time we kissed in those three months and we nearly couldn't stop!

"I'm heading to the common room." Harry said from behind the door.

"Okay.." I just said. I heard him walking away.

***
I didn't talk to him all evening. Hermione seemed to notice but didn't say anything. Dean was just glaring at me every single time we were in the same room.

And it just stayed that way for an entire week. I was feeling bad without Harry, but I just couldn't talk to him. I was now nervous as hell around him.

"Enough!" Hermione said, grabbing my arm and leading me to the girls dorm, on that Wednesday evening, a week after the 'incident'. "What the hell happened? Even Ron noticed! It's been a week since you last talked to each other!!"

"I don't know what you are talking about!!" I lied.

"Don't lie to me!! I need to know!!"

"There's nothing you need to know!"

"That's precisely what Harry told me!!"

"I don't care about him!!" I said, though that lie was one of the biggest I've ever said.

"Why do you both lie!!"

"What did he say?" I suddenly ask.

"I won't tell you if you don't tell me."

"Hermione stop!"

"I won't stop!!" She yelled. "You two just ignore each other!!"

"And why is that a problem!?"

"Because you are both so upset about it that you don't even talk to Ron and I either!!"

"I am not upset!! And neither is Harry!"

"Then talk to each other!!"

"Leave me alone!!!" I yelled, tears in my eyes.

"Ginny... please... I can help you.. I've known Harry for 7 years.."

"You couldn't understand.."

"And may I ask why?"

"Ron and you... it's not like Harry and I."

"I know. But I know Harry."

I sighed.

"Why are you so upset?" She asked again.

"I....won't tell you."

"Fine." She gave up. "But please talk to each other."

"I just can't..."

"But why?"

"He will reject me."

"No way."

"Hermione..."

"Just do it."

"Not now."

"Fine but you do it before Monday because he and Ron will go back to London for the Auror training, for two weeks."

"Two weeks?"

"They didn't go in October.. so they have to go two weeks to catch up."

"Okay.. I'll do it." I sighed.
