A/N: (Yawns and stretches arms high above head) Hey...look! Hibernation's over! (Realizes it never started) Erm...

To make up for my absence, here's a new fic consisting of many one-shots using many pairs, and based on the piece "Love is Patient..." Enjoy!

Disclaimer: It's been four months since I've last written. Do you think Jo can stand to spend that much time away from a pen?

Dedication: This chapter goes to arnoldthefemalepurplepygmypuff for reading and reviewing all of my stories, through the good and the bad! Thanks a bunch! :)

Love is Patient

She had known.

Way before Hermione. Way before she was confronted. Way before she caught Harry sparing her extra glances.

She had known.

She had felt his gaze follow her long, red mane as she made her way down the train. She had seen the way his eyes reflected his anger after she was caught kissing Dean. She had noted the satisfaction in his smirk when the two had a falling out.

She had known.

But hey…he had known about her feelings! He had known how much she had adored him. He had known how she was too embarrassed to even speak to him.

And yet, he had ignored.

She had known…but she made him wait.

Just as he had, her.

Because when Harry ducked his head to press his own lips to hers, Ginny had never felt such an electric shock.

After all, she knew, he would always be worth waiting for.

A/N: Next chapter: "Love is kind".
