Fan Fiction ❯ Harry Potter and the Dual Heir ❯ One kiss ( Chapter 3 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Harry looked around the room, at all of the shocked faces and grinned happily. "Then I trained and trained like hell. Orien is a slave driver! But here I am." he said.

"I resent that Harry!" Orien said idignantly. Harry smirked a smirk to rival Malfoy's and shook his head. And then the questions exploded in the room.

"Harry, why didn't you contact us?" Remus asked over the noise.

"I couldn't Remus, Orien said no distractions." Harry replied.

"Godric Gryffindor was a vampire?!?"

"You are heir to the Elemindrians AND Gryffindor?!?"

"What IS an Elemindrian?"

"An Elemindrian can control an element." Harry said simply, and left it at that, not wanting anyone to know anymore than necessary. Ginny sat with her feet curled underneath in her chair, and smiled at Harry. She didn't have a crush on him anymore. 'No, not a silly schoolgirl crush.' she thought, 'I love the man that Harry has become.'

Harry caught a glimpse of Ginny curled up in her chair as he was bombarded with questions, her hair glimmering in the firelight. 'God she's beautiful.' he thought, 'She's become such a beautiful and mature woman. What will Ron say I wonder? Wonder if Gin still likes me?' He smiled at her when she caught him looking at her and Harry looked away.

"Would you all quit asking me questions?" Harry asked, "I'm tired, I want to go to bed." No one listened so Harry tried again. And again. "Fine." he mummbled.

He mentally yelled into everyones heads, "SHUT UP!" and the entire room fell silent. "What the bloody hell was that?" yelled Ron.

"Ronald Weasley!" screeched Mrs. Weasley. Ron blushed and grinned. "Now I am tired." Harry said, "I want to go to sleep, I have to be up early in the morning. Thank you for your attention, Good night!" And with that he walked from the room, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione following him.

"Wow Harry! The things you must have learned!" Hermione exclaimed and Ron rolled his eyes. "I did learn alot actually Hermione, and I actually liked it." Harry said and laughed. Ginny giggled and her hand brushed his, causing them both to blush and look away.

"You can control an element Harry? Which one?" asked Ron eagerly.

"Ah.." began Harry, "I sort of can't tell you that here. It might be overheard, and we want everything to be a surprise to Voldemort. So don't say anything more about it please." Ron nodded and they walked on.

Harry looked down and noticed Ron and Hermione were holding hands. "Did I miss something here?" he asked, confused. Ron and Hermione blushed deeply and Ron cleared his throat. "We er..got together when you were gone Harry." he said nervously. Harry grinned. "Oh so you don't mind if I do this do you?" he asked casually and putting his arm around Ginny's shoulders, and kissing her lightly on the cheek. Ron's eyes grew small and he glared at Harry, who glared right back. Finally, Ron shrugged and continued to walk. Harry looked at Ginny and grinned and started to walk, taking his arm off of her shoulders. Then he surprised her by taking her hand, and looking intently at her. "Gin?" he began, "I really really like you, and I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date with me this weekend?"

Ginny smiled and ran her hand of his cheek. "Of course I would Harry." she said and lightly kissed his lips, surprising him by the heat in that one small kiss. She pulled him along the corridor to Gryffindor tower and they parted with a goodnight kiss.
