I smiled heartfully after so many days and leaned down and kissed...

Ginny's pov

He leaned down and kissed my forehead.
I couldn't help but giggle at that sweet gesture.

Ever since I saw Harry at the library, I kept thinking of dean's words. So, I couldn't able to concentrate on what he said but I finally brushed it off when harry yawned. Whatever he feels or whatever I feel doesn't matter but I hate to see harry being so stressed for God knows what reason.

I sat next to him and hugged him. "I missed you" I confessed.

I heard him chuckle and he quickly hugged me back "I missed you too, gin. You've no idea"

We broke apart. "feels nice to know someone cares," he said.

"Everyone cares harry but only some shows"

We talked, I don't know how much time. I didn't want this to end but we both yawned this time. I laughed and so did he.

He got up "I'll sleep on the couch, you sleep here," he said pointing to the bed.

"Shut up, Potter. I'm no guest, you sleep on your bed, I'm taking the couch"

"But-"

"No! I'll leave if you protest," I said sternly and he gave up and climbed onto his bed.

I was about to step near the couch when heard a book fall from his shelf and something like a paper (A\N: ginny's photo that harry nicked from Dudley's room) heaved near harry's bed.

I wandered to see what that is but I felt a pair of strong arms grabbed me by the waist twirling me around to face him.

"Harry, what the hell?" Shivers went from every bit of my body as his hands rested on my waist tightly.

"Sorry" he was about to take them off but I think he slipped stepping on something which made him lose balance as he fell on the bed dragging me along with him.

"Ah!" with a squeal I landed on top of harry on his bed.

The room is dead silent and I can only hear our pacing breath. He's staring right into my eyes, I couldn't help but stare into his gorgeous Emerald eyes. Our faces are inches apart that if anyone moves, our lips will touch.

My eyes darted from his eyes to his lips, I want to...no no no no I shouldn't. I guess harry leaned forward and my breath stuck in my throat.

Harry loves you

Dean words flickered in my head again. I instantly got up from the bed, blushing furiously than ever.

"I--I " cleared my throat "I'll sleep," I said strolling to the couch.

I couldn't sleep that night. How could I? We almost kissed. We were damn close to kiss each other. Did we just caught in the moment? Or is it something more?

The next morning I woke up early, for that matter I didn't even sleep. Harry's still soundly asleep, he looked so precious cuddled in those pillows and blankets.
I just wanted to stay here forever and watch him sleep or cuddle next to him.

No! This is crazy. I better get out of here.

Clock Tower Courtyard

It's been two days since that weird incident. Harry and I were not talking, things are awkward between us, so we're kinda avoiding each other or maybe I'm avoiding him a bit.

I've been killing my time with Hermione cause we both had the same classes. It wasn't boring but it was dreadful staying away from Harry. Mostly when I see him with Kathy. Everywhere I see...It's them, talking, laughing, flirting? I don't even know. I've never been this irritated. Kathy's my best friend, I shouldn't feel this way but I couldn't help it.

Even now they're busy with their godforsaken conversation in the common room. I'm done with it, so I came here for some air.

I heard some voices. I turned around to see Draco, Parkinson and Zabini. Parkinson and Zabini are so involved in some conversation and Draco isn't even paying attention to them.

"Draco!" I called out.

I guess he recognised my voice as his frown face turned into a smirk.
Before he could talk that pug face interrupted him. "How dare you call his name mudblood? I wanna hex you so badly so run before scar head shows up and saves the day" she shouted with her nasty smug look.

If she wants to start a fight who am I to say no, I too wanted to take all my anger out. I grabbed my wand from my pockets just when Draco stood in between us.
"Pansy go," he said.

"What?"

"Don't make me say it twice" his voice is serious and stern. Pansy huffed and strode away followed by Zabini.

"So, not afraid of me anymore huh?" He asked making his way towards me.

I glared at him and he chuckled. Who knows Draco can smile as normal people do.

"You should do that more often," I said.

"What? Asking pansy to shove off?" He smirked.

"No, smiling," I said.

His face changed, no more smirking. "Maybe I don't have people to make me smile, ginny"

"Maybe it's your fault" I shrugged.

"Yeah, I know that."

We sat there for some time, silence filled between us but we're comfortable. "I'm planning to apologise, y'know to the trio. I don't wanna live in this guilt anymore. I know they won't forgive me easily but--"

I interrupted him "at least you've got to try"

He nodded.

Draco and I chatted for hours. I didn't know talking to him would be this simple. It's like we're already close friends.

"Don't beat yourself, Draco. You didn't make any wrong decisions, you just had no choice" I said gently squeezing his hand.

"It's nice to talk to someone. I feel relieved" he smiled.

"I'm always here" I hugged him. I think he was shocked though eventually, he hugged me back.

Just to make clear that neither draco nor dean had any non-platonic feelings for ginny.

Still, one more chapter for harry to finally confess his feelings. I'm so excited for that chapter.

Who wants to see  a possessive and jealous harry? 😉
