His Version

Harry Potter stared out the window of the Hogwarts Express gloomily. As he watched the rain pelt the windows he couldn't help but think about that day. That day must've been the second worst day in his live - the final battle being the first. The day had been almost three months ago but he still remembered it like yesterday.

Harry sat at his desk and nervously put his quill down to the parchment. He knew he had to do this, but he didn't know what to write. 'How am I supposed to tell her how I feel' he thought to himself.

He thought for a solid twenty minutes before finally started to write. "Dear Ginny. . . ."

A half hour later after many revisions and drafts, he finally was satisfied with what he had written. He read over it once more to make sure that was what he wanted to say, and with one last glance he tied it on to Hedwig's leg and sent it off.

Ginny Weasley walked into the Great Hall laughing with her friends.

As she piled food onto her plate she saw Harry's beautiful snowy owl, Hedwig, swoop down over the Gryffendor table. She expected her to land in front of Harry, but instead she flew right over his head and landed in front of her.

Only a few people noticed the snowy owl, and even fewer seemed to find it weird that it would land in front of Ginny.

As soon as Hedwig lifted up her left, leg Ginny took the letter. She patted her affectionately and then she was off again. Ginny stole a look at Harry, who now seemed very interested in his chicken.

With trembling fingers Ginny slowly opened the letter. She gasped when she read what was in it. It read…

Dear Ginny,

I know you're probably wondering why I'm

writing to you, but I just couldn't tell you this

face-to-face. The truth is that I really like you,

and I am almost positive you feel the same way.

If you don't still like me like that, then I understand.

I had to tell you because it has been nagging at me

for months. I didn't want to not tell you and then

regret it for the rest of my life. If you just want to

be friends that's fine, because I don't want this to ruin our friendship.

I'll talk to you later,

Love,

Harry

When Ginny finished reading she looked up so quickly that her neck cracked. Harry was looking at her. A searching look that made her feel completely vulnerable.

She was unable to break his gaze for a while, until one of her friends called her name, and her thought process was broken.

"Anyway, like I was saying. . ." but Ginny didn't hear a word of it. Her mind was on more important things.

Later that day Harry had been studying for his N.E.W.T.S. when Ginny slowly approached him.

"Hi." She said sheepishly

"Hey." He said back.

Harry watched as she sat down on the chair next to him, and began to twirl a lock of her beautiful red hair around her finger.

"Harry-"

"Gin-"

They both started speaking at the same time.

Ginny gave a nervous giggle.

"Harry, about the letter-"

But, she was silenced as Harry pulled her to Him and kissed her soundly.

Ginny wrapped her hands into his hair and he deepened the kiss. After a few minutes of snogging, Ginny's eyes flew open, finally realizing what she was doing. She put her hands on his chest and pushed away abruptly.

"Gin what's-"

"Stay away from me!" she shouted. and with that she wheeled around and bolted from the library, leaving Harry confused and hurt.

Ginny completely avoided Harry until term got out, on the train, and over summer when he was at the BurrowIn fact, He hadn't even seen Ginny until earlier that morning on platform 9 3/4.

Harry sighed as the lights in his cabin flickered a couple of times before going strong again. For the first time in his life he was actually dreading the next year at Hogwarts.

AN: Ok, this is my first fic and I hope you like it so far. Now, I know that this this chapter isn't very long, but I promise that they'll get longer as the story goes on.

The next chapter is going to be Ginny's side of things. Please, please, please, please, please leave a review. I'd like to know what you think about it so far (your thoughts impower my writing!) . Also since this is about 4 pages I want 4 reviews minimum.

Thanks,
