The Love Of My Life (Hinny) [Prequel]

The Love Of My Life

"Harry looked around; there was Ginny running towards him; she had a hard blazing look on her face as she threw her arms around him. And without thinking, without planning it, without worrying about the fact that fifty people were watching, Harry kissed her."

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Joanne Kathleen Rowling

When I first saw her at the Burrow, I didn't know much about her; nor did I realize what would happen later in my life. As time flew by, she eventually joined the Quidditch team. Year by year, she continued to attract me more and more. During my fifth year, she supported me and Dumbledore's Army greatly. I knew she had a great personality and possibly some feelings for me. However, I just left her alone. At my sixth year, she was dating another boy, when I realized I had a heart full of jealousy each time I spotted them together. That's when I knew for sure I had something for her.

Then at the end of my seventh year - or what was supposed to be of it - I acted as road kill to plan for a heroic come back, faking death. Voldemort soon explained to all of my classmates that I was dead, or so he thought. I slightly opened my eyes to see the reactions and what caught my attention was she. She cried out in sorrow mourning over my false death as she heard the melancholy news. I could tell that she truly loved me.

When I first heard of his name, the boy-who-lived, I dreamt every night about his looks and personality. Just as many teenage muggles adored boy bands, I was crushing on a person who I'd think I'd ever marry. After my closet older brother returned from his first year at Hogwarts with him, I had no idea. I raced down the stairs and my eyes bulged out of my head as I stared at him. He inspired me to do so many things. For instance, I joined the Quidditch team because of him. It was a secret of mine, to be with him at a Quidditch game. He was my hero. While I was dating Dean Thomas during my fifth year, I didn't know much about love. I was still to dumb to know. However, I learned by the end of that year when I kissed Harry in the Room of Requirement, that I didn't love Dean Thomas at all. I didn't even know what love was until I kissed Harry.

Voldemort danced in and announced that his arch nemesis was dead...and he had the body to prove it. I cried and mourned a quick moment as I knew I had to be strong. However, just as I had dreamt about when I was much younger, I saw him heroically fight back. With the growing strength of knowing my life-long crush was alive, I was confident about taking risks just like he did. My mother came and killed Bellatrix Lestrange, as I was a mere inch away from death's happy wish. If things couldn't get any better, I saw him glance at me after the battle, and from then on, I knew there was a spark that wouldn't be extinguished.
