A/N: I know it's been ages since I've updated this story. I've been reeeaaallly busy. I am actually working on two papers simultaneously at the moment, or at least I was and then I got bored. Both are due tomorrow…so…eep. This chapter is saturated with fluff! So all the fluff lovers…this is for you.

Chapter 18- Fluff aboard!

Turns out we had fallen asleep. When I woke up my arms were around his neck, my head buried in his chest and he too had his arms around me, but his face was nuzzled against my neck. He smelt amazing, a mix of musk and chocolate.

I really need to go to the toilet, but at the same time I never wanted to move again. Somehow I suspected that Harry wouldn't have been pleased if I relieved myself right there. So I tried to manoeuvre my way out of his arms without waking him up. But I was not successful.

He sat up looking dazed, "Wha? Ginny?"

"Yeah" I whispered. "Where are you going?" he asked.

"I have to go to the toilet." It was then I noticed that most of the people who had been in the room had gone and the sun was up. I blushed thinking about the fact that they would have seen Harry and me sleeping wrapped up in each other's arms.

Harry nodded and promptly fell back into bed, but not before saying, "Come back to bed after that."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I doubt he would have said anything like that if he had been completely conscious. My eyebrows shot up even more when I felt the cold floor under my feet, now I really needed to pee! I ran to the loo as quickly as I could. I walked back to my bed a few minutes later feeling a lot better. As I slipped in next to Harry, I heard someone say, "Naughty! Naughty! Getting into bed with Harry? Now what would Molly say?"

I froze. Harry mumbled something incoherent, put his arm around my waist and pulled me closer. I could hear the person laughing.

"Who is it?" I whispered. "Siri is that you?"

Off came the invisibility cloak and I saw Uncle Padfoot and Crystal standing there with their fists stuffed in their mouths to keep from laughing. I stuck my tongue out at them and snuggled back into the warm bed. I heard them laughing as I slowly drifted into sleep.

II.

I woke up again, but it was nighttime. I was surprised to see that Harry was still in bed with me. My eyes flickered upwards and I saw that he was awake.

"Hi." He said and I replied with the same.

"You're still here." I said after a little while. I felt his head nod. "You wouldn't let go of me, so Madame Pomfrey let me stay."

I blushed and nodded into his chest. "When are you going to tell us Ginny?" I could feel his fingers running through my hair. "Tell you what?" I asked

"What's going on, why Lestrange would attack you, and why Zabini would save you and then comfort your friend, a Gryffindor?"

I closed my eyes. Why did he have to bring that up NOW? Especially when we are having this moment? I mean, how insensitive can one person be? Does he not realize how significant this whole bed-sharing thing is in my life? I looked up at him and tried to count the number of times I had told him I would tell them at Christmas time. I bet he wasn't listening!

"Like I said before Harry. I will tell you during the Christmas break when we go back for vacation. Okay?" He agreed and I sighed in relief. Maybe he wasn't THAT thick.

"Ginny?"

"Hmm"

"I am sorry."

"You already said that Harry." "I know, but that was because I was pressurizing you to tell me what was going on, this is because I haven't been a good friend to you. I think of you as a friend and I should have told you what I told Hermione and Ron."

I smiled to myself. "No Harry. I understand, besides I wasn't your friend at that time. I was Ron's little sister. But I'm honored that you think of me as one now."

"No" He said stubbornly, "I shouldn't have hidden it from you. I should have realized what an amazing person you were then. I should have told you."

My smile widened at his insistence. "You can tell me now." I told him quietly.

"But you already know." He said sullenly, sounding like a little child again. I bit my lip to contain my urge to laugh and replied, " I would still like to hear about everything from you."

He seemed to become slightly more cheerful after I had coaxed him and he spent the rest of the night stroking my hair and telling me about his life from his first memory upto that night. I listened to his deep, smooth voice and learned more about him in that one night than I ever imagined.

III.

Madame Pomfrey came in at around five o'clock. Harry had stopped talking by then and we just lay silently. My head was on his chest and he had encased me in his arms.

"I see you are awake Miss Weasley." The matron tried to look stern, but I could see the softened expression on her face and the smile tugging at her lips.

I nodded in response and she shooed Harry away telling him to go take a shower while she helped me up from the bed so I could take mine. Harry gave me one last smile and slipped out of the infirmary.

"He's been in here for nearly two days! The boy refused to leave you. You certainly have some loyal friends Miss Weasley. I hope you know that."

I smiled politely and escaped from the room as fast as I could.

My sore muscles sighed in pleasure as I slipped into the warm, bubbly bath. As I soaked, I reflected on the changes that had happened so quickly.

IV.

Madame Pomfrey let me go within a few short hours, but was surprised at my fast recovery. Apparently my healing powers enabled me to recover faster than a normal wizard or witch.

I took out my diary and started talking to Lily.

I am sorry Ginny dear, but the temptation is too great. I told you so! I knew it all along. Harry may have inherited his thickness from James, but he would have to realize how perfect you are for him and how madly in love he is with you at some point, after all he is my son too.

Yup, that he is. If it is how you tell it, he can't be anybody else's. After all I chased after him the same way James chased after you. Only you took longer, when did you finally give in? Your 7th year?

Ginny Weasley! You little brat! Yes, I suppose you are right. He is really my son, took almost as long as I did to see what is in front of him.

You know, I still don't agree with the whole him being "Madly in love" with me. I think that he's just started seeing me as a friend.

Maybe. I think you should talk to James once you get better, he may be able to help. Now get some rest and keep an extra eye out for trouble.

Alright. Give my love to James.

Will do. Take care dear.

I shut the diary and smiled as Ron, Hermione and Harry came into the common room and towards me. Harry and Ron apologized once again, but I assured them that all was forgiven.

Ron looked me with what he thought was an innocent look, "Ginny, who do you like?"

That really was the last question that I was expecting. My brain was suddenly flooded with questions, Did he know? OMG! Does he know about the bond! If he does, has he told Harry? What if he's just being stupid and thinks I like Malfoy, what if he goes and tells him, and then Malfoy thinks I like him…EEW! Oh god! I hope not! Then Ferret face is going to be all smug and spread rumors…and then Harry will believe the rumors and he'll never ever like me!

"NO ONE!" I shouted out during my hyperventilating period. Ron looked at me suspiciously, "Riiiiggghhhttt…" He drawled out.

"Ron, don't do that…you sound like Malfoy." I said. Ha! Look at his face now!…oooh, didn't know it could turn THAT green! Note to self: must tell Gred and Forge!

He collected himself rather fast and stated, "I think you like Blaise Zabini and are trying to hide it by changing the topic." Before I could respond, I heard a voice cry out, "You like Blaise!" I turned in the direction of the voice to see a teary eyed, chin trembling Jess. My left eyebrow automatically went up and the Andrews twins standing behind Jessica grinned sheepishly. "It's a tear drop," they explained, "makes the victim emotionally instable. Should last only for another hour."

I just nodded and turned back to the grand trio. "Now Ron, what made you think that I have feelings for Blaise Zabini?"

"He saved you, and then he took you to the infirmary. When I asked him why he did that, he said you had helped him." Ron then proceeded to give me a smug look.

I curbed my urge to roll my eyes at him. "Ron, I helped him by getting him and Jess together. She's the one who likes him, not me."

Hermione sniggered and then gave him an 'I-told-you-so' look. My brother quickly changed the subject, "So, you promise to tell us in December…"

I just glared at him. That seemed to be enough of a response for him. As I left the room I heard Ron say, "Merlin! My sister's turning into Snape!"

Pyrobabe7713: lol. Glad you are happy.

Wolf's scream- Thank you! yes he is, at least I think so, I don't remember what I've written for the next two chapters, it's really late and I am exhausted and all my brain is processing right now is biology. I guess we'll see what happens, maybe he just had a little spark light up in brain that'll die out soon enough.

annie: Thank you!

KathrynPersephone-20- Thanks Kathryn! ((blushes)) I was not expecting anyone to say that. I don't think Chris would be too happy. I love Harry too, I have created my perfect men through him, I just exaggerated the imperfections a bit too much…he really is very thick…you'll see. But wasn't he just adorable in this chappie? The saving thing wasn't very significant; it was just to get Zabini's friendship with Ginny, and relationship with Jess out in the open. Thanks! Maybe they'll help me finish this story along with my schoolwork and college apps. ;)

Sarahamanda: Lol, that review was a bit hard to read, but thank you for it! Remember…it's rarely that my stories will have a sad ending; Ginny and Harry will get together in the next 4 chapters or so. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but I'll say that it ill be gradual as there will be some clashes in the one or two chapters. There have to be deaths and I am thinking about killing Percy off, but I haven't decided yet.

IamSiriusgrl- Thanks! Lol, yup, drunk Snape!

MyLifeRox: Thanks!

Mrs. Green- Thanks! Glad you like. When I was in middle school my coach's name was Mr. Green, so whenever I see your uid I remember him.

Damthesquirrels: Thanks! Mwahaha. Sirius is cruel!

HSW- Thanks Mel! Really? Wow…I haven't tried to make them completely in character. In reality, a lot of Ginny's personality is based on mine. Yeah, Ron's annoying, but he'll become bearable after a while. Harry has his shining moments, like he did in the last chappie and in this one, Hermione's supposed to be clever, so…I love Snape, I don't care about HBP, I think he is one of the coolest characters so he has to be a good guy in my story. Lol, Jacque is based on my gay friend and Colin on his boyfriend so I'll always love them :) . Hope you liked this chappie too.

Mysticofthepen: Thank you! Sorry I took so long, been really busy ((shakes head)) need to catch up on soooo much sleep. When I saw you reviewed I started hopping around the room. I really liked your story 'Sometimes Friendship isn't Enough' I'm pretty sure I reviewed. If I haven't, bop me on the head! Keep reading!

neoemmy101- Hi! ((waves)) Thanks for reviewing. I read your story a while ago, but it's gone now. :( it was good, you should continue it.

Foreverfree: Thanks. you can send me an email with your suggestions anytime. I will try and use them. Hope you enjoyed this chapter too.

Starbaby-210- Thanks. I know about ff addiction, trust me. I still curse my friend for introducing me to it. Mwaha, lets see what happens. I know, there are too many subplots and really nitty gritty stuff that I need to read again while writing new chapters. Meh.

baka-onna2003: Thanks!

Smask- I'm sorry, I've been really busy, and will be, I can't update too often, but I will try my best. Please keep reading.

Tiger Lilly Cayla: Thanks. I will read your story over the weekend. I look forward to it.

Archnasloom- Thanks Archana. I appreciate your comments. I'm sorry it took so long, but I was not in town over the summer and couldn't work on the story, and once school started, its more than AP this AP that, it's also labs, papers, SAT II, college apps, college essays, along with the other stuff. It gets a little hectic. I know Ron's not that bad, do not despair, he will get better. My characters are always exaggerated, even in my creative pieces for school, I think it adds to the emotional drama and I enjoy doing that. And please don't worry, I don't plan to let my fic go up on the "wall of shame" unless something really, really life altering happens. As for the rushing of the fic…I really need to get it over with, my minds working over time and has come up with two sequels for this story, so…anyway, thanks once again. Keep R&R!

MalfoysAHottieWithABody: Thanks you! My god! I am really pleased you liked this story so much. I also like G/D, just b/c a lot of the storylines are more interesting and deviate from the canon plot, but I am a H/G shipper because it is cute and it is most likely to happen, and it did. Draco's an idiot in the book, but I like him in the fics. Well as long as we like Ginny and the two guys, it doesn't matter what ship it is as long as the plot is good, right? Please keep reading…:)

Girlqueen6- Thanks. There will be more chapters.

IzzyG: Aren't I just cruel? Keep r&r

RMM- Thanks. sorry for the time.

GinnyWeasley36: Thanks. I'll try, but I can't make any promises.
