“Are you sure it's safe?”
“Of course I'm sure and the weather couldn't be more perfect. Muggle kids everywhere do this.”
“So?”
“It's like flying on the ground. Now get on. Or is the big bad Boy-Who-Saved-the-World too scared?”
That did it for him, as Ginny knew it would. Cautiously, he climbed aboard. Ginny showed Harry how to control the contraption. A good shove later, he was flying down the hill. His laughter warmed her.
Returning, he begged, “Can I go again?”
“Absolutely.”
That's it, Harry. Be the kid you never got to be.
Ginny fumed. She paced. She huffed. She ranted then waved her wand in her brothers' directions. With grim satisfaction, she watched the faces of her twin brothers transform into something a bit more appropriate. She'd be forever grateful to Hermione for finding that spell.
“How could you? I've never been so humiliated in my life!”
Two, literally mulish, faces stared back apologetically. One opened its mouth and George's voice emerged.
“Sorry, sis. We thought you'd have found it funny.”
“You running starkers through any kind of gathering usually is hilarious but this time...it was my DREAM WEDDING!”
“You're staring again,” Hermione laughed.
“Oh, uh...I can't help it! It's like...the whole ugly duckling into the swan.”
“She was ugly before and now she's not?”
“NO! I didn't meant that! I meant...uh...that she...um...”
He searched desperately for an explanation.
“No, more like a caterpillar into a butterfly.”
“So, you're saying I used to bug you and now I don't?”
Eyes huge, Harry turned to Ginny. Flustered, he stumbled all over his words.
“No...no...I...uh...” Run.
Giggling at his retreat, Ginny felt her heart sing. He's finally noticed! Should I hug or hex him?
“Harry! Welcome back!”
Harry suddenly found himself engulfed in a hug by the youngest Weasley. She pulled away and he got a good look at her.
Oh...wow...she looks...wow...
He quickly found himself engulfed in another hug, this time from Hermione. She let him go and he was greeted by the rest of the Weasleys but his eyes kept straying to Ginny. He couldn't believe it. She'd transformed over the past year and he hadn't even noticed. But now...
“Sorry, what?”
But it was no use. Something in his chest had awakened. His eyes strayed to Ginny.
She looks...good.
