Harry blinked, diverting his gaze from the kites in the sky (he was just considering if he was too old to learn how to fly a kite).
“What?”
“Your first kiss,” said Ginny calmly. “How was it?”
“Why do you wanna know about my first kiss?”
“You were the one who suggested we try dating.” She shivered exaggeratedly as if the word offended her. Harry couldn’t help his laugh.
“How scandalous of me.”
“Usually people go on dates before they are in a relationship,” she noted, raising their intertwined hands.
“You know me, I don’t do things the usual way.”
Ginny smiled, moving closer to him on the bench. “This feels pretty normal,” she said in a small voice, winking at him.
Harry flushed, pleased; Ginny was right. So far, the day had been ordinary and that was the best compliment he could give it. Leaving the wizarding world behind to walk upon Muggle London had been a simple and yet brilliant idea. Here, there was no pressure, no tension upon any of their shoulders.
Here he was just an eighteen-year-old guy enjoying the day with his gorgeous girlfriend, two unknown faces in the middle of this very crowded city; a normal couple sitting on a bench at Hyde Park.
“So—your first kiss?”
“How is this a first date type of question?”
“Probably because it involves so many embarrassing moments that you know it can’t get worse afterwards.”
Harry supposed she got a point. “I have to say, I improved a lot afterwards,” he assured, pulling her hair behind her back casually. “You never complained,” he added. His lips traced the column of her neck, which earned him real shivers this time.
She giggled as she pushed him away.
“Nice try—but you are not getting away from this.”
“Ugh, a bloke had to try.” He placed a soft peck on her cheek before resuming his position on the bench. “Wet.”
“What?”
“How my first kiss went. Wet.”
She frowned. “Wet like—you were underwater or—”
“No, no. You know back when—well, she was crying so—”
“Crying? Oh. Oh.” Ginny patted his back. “It was not your fault.”
“One would think it would help to cheer her up.” He rolled his eyes, ignoring the pinkness on his cheeks. “That’s what your brother told me, anyway.”
“You know Ron is not the best relationship advisor in the world, right?”
“Considering how long it took for him to realise Hermione is a girl… yeah, looking back, I see it now.”
Ginny laughed for a moment. Then she threw him a furtive glance before looking up, to the same kites that Harry had been admiring before.
“Was it a nice kiss?”
“I… I don’t know!”
“Well—did you want to kiss her again?”
“I—I think so, I don’t know, I was fifteen and I was a mess. Why are you asking me this?”
She sighed. “Because I got curious. I couldn’t ask you before and for all she knows Hogwarts, A History, by heart, Hermione is terrible at details. We talk about this kind of thing,” she added, unashamed.
“Like—”
“Like everything. Well, almost everything. Turns out I can’t deal with details involving my brother.”
“Ugh. That makes us two.”
“Anyway—details.”
“I think in this aspect I am like Hermione.” He shrugged. “I didn’t pay enough attention.”
“It was your first kiss.”
“Hm.” His fingers traced the back of her hand. “She threw her arms around my neck. I looked at her and then I just knew what I had to do. So I kissed her—first I tugged her lower lip, and it was as soft as I thought it would be—and I had spent a lot of time considering it. And then I was holding her face and—funny thing about tongues, right? You don’t really know what to do until you are doing it and it is just so nice. I felt like I could go on like that for days—you know when time stops and it feels as if there are just the two of you in the world, but in fact, you are in the middle of the Common Room and everyone is just staring—”
“Hey.” Ginny’s eyes were sparkling. “That was not your first kiss.”
“No, but it was ours—and at that time I was noticing everything. I would have given a much better recount to Ron and Hermione, except—”
“They witnessed firsthand, yeah.” Ginny laughed warmly. “And you know what, kissing the girl you had a crush on for ages—that’s also a pretty normal thing.”
“Didn’t we kiss after I missed the match because I got a detention for cursing my school archenemy with a spell invented by a professor who spied—”
“Fine, fine. Not the usual way.” She kissed him softly on the lips; it was just a peck, a brush innocent by any standard, and yet Harry felt again that same brightness that always came attached with kissing Ginny. “I know you won’t ever ask, but I don’t remember either.”
“What?”
“How it feels to kiss someone else. Not to say I didn’t like them, or that snogging wasn’t nice—”
“Er—I would rather not think about it. Though—” He fidgeted with his free hand. “It was seeing you and Dean together that made me realise how I felt about you. So—silver linings, I guess…?”
“Oh, no.” Ginny slid closer to him again. “That’s not the kind of silver lining we enjoy,” she said, and then there was nothing innocent about their kiss anymore; it was pure light, warming and glowing, the kind that made Harry lose any sense of time and space.
When they broke apart, at last, Harry traced her face. “Sunlit days,” he declared.
“What?”
“Kissing you feels like this.” He gestured around, to the bright green grass behind them, where people were picnicking over towels; to the lake in front of them, where a water fountain was turned on, sprinkling them with steam when the wind turned; and then to the blue sky, only a few fluffy white clouds in sight. It was a hot day, and the sound of bird songs and people chattering just added to the normalcy that Harry most craved. “Like a summer day.”
She kissed the palm of his hand. “We will share all seasons now.”
Happy Birthday to the boy i love the most in the whole world. To the boy and his story, which completely changed my life. Wish I could hug you. I love you to the moon and back, to infinity and beyond. The light of my life. I love you Harry, you changed my life. - T
Some part of Taylor songs I think hinny relates to :
The way I loved you (tv) : “it’s 2a.m. and I’m cursing your name
So in love that I acted insane and that’s the way I loved you…”
-Both Harry and Ginny missing each other during DH, when Harry was on the horcrux hunt.
“He’s close to my mother, talk business with my father
He’s charming and endearing and I’m comfortable “
⁃ I don’t need to explain it, I mean it’s Ginny’s pov.
Back to December: “It turns out freedom ain't nothin' but missin' you
Wishin' I'd realized what I had when you were mine
I'd go back to December”

“Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
'Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile”

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see, sparks fly, whenever you smile”

Agree with all of this and I'd like to add Peace. Peace is so much hinny in the summer after the war.
Our coming-of-age has come and gone
Suddenly the summer, it's clear
I never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near
And it's just around the corner, darling
'Cause it lives in me
No, I could never give you peace
-> This is so Harry: leaving Ginny to protect her, wanting her but knowing the price of being associated with him, something we see again here:
But there's robbers to the east, clowns to the west
I'd give you my sunshine, give you my best
But the rain is always gonna come if you're standing with me
But we also have:
And you know that I'd swing with you for the fences
Sit with you in the trenches
Give you my wild, give you a child
Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other
Family that I chose, now that I see your brother as my brother
Is it enough?
-> Fighting in the same war, Harry calling her his family, the silence of two people who understand each other??? I mean, come one. And do I have to explain the brother's one?
But I'm a fire, and I'll keep your brittle heart warm
If your cascade ocean wave blues come
All these people think love's for show
But I would die for you in secret
The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me
Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?
-> The malicious gossip in the papers. Harry literally going to die without telling anyone and having Ginny as his last thought.

What if Ginny came to the horcrux hunt with the trio :
Angst Hinny content obviously
Harry is definitely Against the decision of Ginny coming to the hunt. (it was a mistake that Ginny got into all this)
They had obviously broken up so, you can feel the tension
The EYE CONTACTS-
A secret passionate kiss exchanged midst this chaos alone in the tent (plot twist in the movie where Hermione goes with Ron i.e when Ronarry fight happens, Ginny stays with Harry )
⁃ also instead of that unnecessary harmione dance we could have got this.
hey! here is an edit which I made a while ago. The song which i used is a Bollywood song <3 + I thought of opening an account on gram (hxarrry) but I deleted it :( so, thats what the watermark is for.
Sometimes I wonder if people realize that every time they ship Harry with someone that it's not Ginny, they are doing something for which Harry would hate them.
Harry and Ginny had broken up but what if we add the "one bed trope" here. Like, Harry and Ginny under the circumstances had to share a bed. Harry offers to sleep on the couch , ginny definitely not agreeing but harry had to.
Things that gets me are:
Someone getting a nightmare.
The tension because you know they had been broken up.
eyecontacts omg
Things when , let's take ginny for instance gets a nightmare and harry all over taking care of her.
