The new face of evil - 8 years out

Harry wasn't expecting this. "Sir?" he asked confused.

"How do you think this would affect your job?" Mr. Weasley asked, sounding very serious.

Harry thought for a second and said, "I don't think it would sir. I mean, you all treat me as family now, so I don't see that my dating Ginny would matter for my job. If I was hurt I think she would be upset even if we weren't dating."

"It's true dad," Ginny spoke up. "Hermione and I went over there after Harry left the last time and saw the medi-witches patching him up. I always worry about him." Ginny gave Harry a sad look.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Weasley looked very uncomfortable with this statement. "But what about in the future?" Mr. Weasley asked again.

Harry realized what he was asking. "Sir, it would be the same if I was seeing Ginny or not. I want a family someday and when that happens, I don't intend to put myself in situations I find myself in today. I don't enjoy coming home with broken bones and cuts, or having to spend days in some little Muggle hospital in Brazil." Harry felt Ginny grab his hand and he saw the look of hurt on Mrs. Weasley's face. "Whenever I'm lucky enough to get married and have a family, I won't let those things happen. I hope things will be better by then, but either way, I'm changing my part," Harry said this very confidently.

It looked like his answer shocked Mr. Weasley because he sat there staring for a second and then said, "Well then, I suppose you've realized what her brothers would do if you ever hurt her?"

"Yes sir, but I can assure you that won't ever be necessary," Harry said and Ginny hugged him.

Mrs. Weasley instantly went to her daughter and gave her a big hug. "So, is this why it was such a great day dear?" she asked her daughter.

Ginny and her mom went into the other room and talked, but Mr. Weasley said, "Sorry about all those questions Harry, but she is my little girl."

"I understand sir. I just wish I would have had more courage years ago," Harry said and then the two men went to join the women in the living room.

"So, do your brothers know yet?" Mr. Weasley asked.

"Only Ron. We want the others to find out on their own," Ginny said with an evil smile.

"Oh, Sirius knows. I told him yesterday. He would also join your brothers if I ever mess up," Harry said.

Harry and Ginny went for a walk around the lake. "Remember how many times we came down here just to walk around and talk?" Ginny asked.

"You didn't know this, but I usually spent the time watching you," Harry said.

"You did not! Why would you have been watching me?" Ginny asked.

"I think it started after my fourth year. When I came here that summer, I couldn't believe how pretty you had gotten and how much you had changed since school got out. From that point on, I never looked at you the same. If I had seen you at school and you hadn't been Ron's sister, I would have done anything to go out with you," he said.

"I knew you always thought of me as just Ron's little sister," Ginny said sounding angry.

"It's not that I thought of you like that. I always wanted more; I just didn't want to risk losing Ron as my best friend. Just like I didn't want to lose you as my best friend by asking you out. I was really scared," he said.

"You're so weird. You'll date a vampire, face down death eaters, dementors and Voldemort in your sixth year but you were too scared to ask me out until ten years later."

"Yeah but I had made mistakes with Voldemort before and I knew that if I made a mistake with you, it would be my last one," Harry joked and pulled her down on top of him where he proceeded to give her a very deep kiss. "I'm here to apologize for my stupidity and beg forgiveness."

"What will you do to get my forgiveness?" she asked playfully.

"Whatever you say," he replied in the same playful voice.

"Ok, stay with me tonight," she said.

"Ok, no problem. I just did that the other night."

"Under the covers this time," she said very calmly.

Harry's eyes got big. "That's not taking things slow Gin. It was hard enough when I was on top of the covers."

"Was it now?" she asked raising her eyebrows. Harry blushed profusely. "All I'm saying is stay with me and sleep under the covers. If you don't want anything to happen, it won't."

"It's not that I don't want it to happen, I just want it to happen differently for our first time. I want it to be very special and won't forgive myself if I just give in before we can make it special. When did you get so pushy about getting what you want? Is this how you've been with your other boyfriends?"

"No, I haven't been like this, ever. I'm just so comfortable with you that I don't see the need to hide anything. Besides, I wanted to kiss you since I was ten and saw you on the platform and I waited all these years to finally get the kiss. I've wanted to do more with you since my sixth year and I don't see the need to wait much longer on that either."

"You're a very aggressive girl Miss Weasley." Harry said smiling.

"I thought you liked aggressive girls. I heard R.J. was very aggressive, and we all know Kristi was," she said giving him another quick kiss.

"Well, I guess I do. That usually saves me from being so dense about what I'm supposed to do. I like to think I've gotten better about knowing what to do over the years."

"Oh, you've gotten better, but I'm not willing to let you go as slow as you do with your other girlfriends."

"Well, we'll see how good my willpower is then won't we? Come on, let's say goodbye to your parents and get back to your place."

The couple went back inside and talked to the Weasley's for a bit before returning to Ginny's house. "Ok, so are you ready to be a real couple? Once we're seen out together a few times, it will all be out in the open," Harry asked.

"I'm ready. None of that will bother me. I've been around you enough in public to have an idea what will happen. I can't wait to see my brother's reaction." The two ended up snuggling on the couch until Ginny suggested going to bed. Ginny went in first and got ready and into bed before she called Harry in. Harry felt very nervous even though he had slept in her bed many times before including just the other night. He went to the bathroom and came out in his boxers and t-shirt and could see Ginny just smiling up at him from under the covers. He first lay down on top of them but Ginny spoke up quickly, "We had a deal Harry. Get under her now," she said trying to sound demanding.

"I see how our relationship is going to go. You're going to keep ordering me around aren't you?" Harry said as he slipped under the covers. He was close to her but not touching.

"I won't order you around in public. Your fans can keep thinking you're the boss," she said and turned onto her side and snuggled into him. Harry had his arm wrapped around her and touching her back. He couldn't remember wanting to be with someone more than he wanted Ginny, but he made a promise to himself that he wanted his first time with Ginny to be away from their normal lives.

Ginny pulled up and gave Harry a nice deep kiss. He held her tight while she did this and then after she pulled back and moved to her position snuggled against him she said, "You know, something's not right."

Harry instantly got worried. "What? Do you want me to get back above the covers?" he asked sounding guilty.

Ginny looked into his eyes and smiled. "No, that won't help. Wait a minute," she said and pulled the covers above her head. Harry felt her fumbling around and moving quite a bit. Suddenly her head popped back above the covers and she said, "There, that's a little bit better."

Harry didn't understand and looked confused. Ginny realized this and pulled one of her arms out and Harry saw she was holding her nightshirt. That's what she was doing under the covers he realized. "Oh." Was all he could say and she curled up against his side. They both flinched when Harry's hand came down on her now bare back. Her arm was across his chest and her hand was on his shoulder. He began lightly running his fingers over her bare back and felt her move in tighter to him. He couldn't believe that Ginny was lying next to him only wearing her panties and he was having a hard time not throwing his promise to himself out the window.

Ginny was as nervous as she could ever remember feeling, but also feeling very liberated. She felt like she could do anything and wanted nothing more than to be close to Harry. She had dreamed of being with him for so long and didn't plan on letting a little thing like embarrassment keep her from what she wanted. Making another decision, she suddenly rolled over and said, "It's still not right." She reached over and pulled up on Harry's t-shirt. "Take off your shirt Harry."

"Ginny. You agreed to wait," Harry said.

"It's just your shirt Harry. I want to feel you next to me," Ginny demanded.

"If you weren't so darn beautiful, I'd say no. I don't know why you always get your way with me." He sat up and pulled off his shirt and threw it on the floor. He saw the evil grin form on Ginny's mouth. Harry shook his head and slid back down. This time when Ginny curled into his side, he immediately felt the difference. He felt the warmth of her body against him and could feel her chest against him. "There, that's much better," she whispered. Harry had to agree she was right.

Ginny's hand was lightly running over Harry's shoulder and upper chest while his was again running up and down her bare back and lower neck. Her caresses started going up and down his side causing him to flinch quite often. He finally decided to give up trying to get to sleep and swiftly grabbed her and slid her up his body so he could give her a kiss. "You're making it very hard to sleep," he said and pulled her into a deep kiss.

She pulled away smiling. "Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know what's gotten into me."

Harry decided to try something that had worked in the past and he quickly rolled her onto her face and sat straddling her. "What are you doing?" she asked, sounding disappointed to be moved from her position. Harry didn't answer and began massaging her back. He occasionally leaned down and nibbled on her lower neck and ear causing her to tense up and give a little moan. Harry slowly worked his massages up and down her back, with occasional light traces along her sides to keep her guessing. After a bit of this, Harry moved off of her but kept rubbing her back. He would now let his light traces flow over her rear and down to her upper thighs. He grinned when she absently minded spread her legs a bit when he did this. He didn't take advantage of the new room and kept his motions exactly the same. After quite a bit of this teasing, he concentrated all of his stroking to her mid and upper back and after about twenty minutes of this, he heard her breathing become very regular and he smiled to himself. Slowly, he pulled the blankets up and lay on his side keeping one arm across her back. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep as well.

The next morning, he was woken by the sudden weight of someone sitting on him. "You'll make that up to me Harry Potter!" Harry blinked his eyes and found a very angry looking Ginny Weasley straddling his waste. He was still getting things focused when she said, "You knew that would put me to sleep, didn't you? You owe me for that." Harry finally focused on the red-head yelling down and him and was pleasantly surprised to see she hadn't put her nightshirt back on. This was the first time he had ever seen her without her top and was very pleased with what he saw. Her skin looked flawless and he thought her chest was the perfect size. Again, he couldn't believe how lucky he was. A broad smile came to his face. "What do you have to say for yourself?" she demanded.

Harry pulled his arms out and placed them on her waist and said, "My god Gin, you are so beautiful. I can't believe what a fool I was before." This obviously wasn't what she expected and she started blushing. He sat up pulling her tightly into him and giving her a very passionate kiss. After the kiss, she seemed a little short of breath and he said, "When we are able to be together, I'll owe you as much as you want. You're perfect." Ginny just stared and got tears in her eyes. Harry quickly felt bad. "I'm sorry Gin. What did I say?"

"Nothing...I just can't believe you actually want to be with me. How did I get so lucky?"

"I'm the lucky one. I'm just glad we finally have a chance to be this way. You were right last night. It was much better after your suggestions," Harry said allowing his hands to move up the side of her chest.

"Told you. Next time we just start that way," Ginny said. "I wish you hadn't tricked me last night. I can't stop thinking about being with you."

Harry kissed her and made a decision. He quickly flipped her onto her back and pressed down into a long kiss. She was pulling his head into her mouth and he began using his hand to rub along her side. He started placing small kisses down her neck and to her ears and then back to deep passionate kisses on her lips. His hand was now lightly caressing around the swells of her breast and down to her tight, flat stomach. Every so often, he would trace down one of her thighs and slowly back up on the inside of the thigh. He smiled when she would raise her hips and slightly spread her legs, but he avoided the area she obviously wanted him to touch.

Ginny was beginning to breathe harder and he finally let his fingers run lightly over her panties one time on the way back up from her thigh. She let out a low throaty moan when he did this and opened her eyes to see him staring back into them. "I thought you were going to wait?" she managed to ask.

Harry kissed her quickly and said, "I am going to wait." He quickly kissed her so that she couldn't ask any more questions and went back to work with his hands. His traces were lingering over her panties now and she was obviously pushing her hips up to meet his hand. He slid his fingers under the waistband and heard her give another moan. Quickly gripping them, he managed to rip them away in one motion causing Ginny to gasp.

Harry then moved slightly on top of her so that only one of her legs was not under him. He felt her hip move up into his lower waist. He slowly kissed down her neck and then down the center of her chest. She kept one of her hands on the back of his head, lightly playing with his hair. He traced circles around her breast with his tongue while rubbing her hip and leg with his hand. Her breathing was very rapid now and when he finally took one of her breasts into his mouth she tensed up suddenly and pulled her head tightly into her. Her free leg wrapped around him and pulled him to her.

She started moaning very loudly and then felt her catch her breath. He could tell what was happening and was surprised it had been so quick. He kept the pressure on her with his lower waist and pulled her leg with his hand. When she finally started breathing again, he kept to his original plan and continued kissing her chest and stroking her leg. She whispered, "Oh my gosh," and this gave him more reason to continue. Soon, he felt her hips start to move again and he was now kissing around her lower stomach. His free hand was now off of her leg and running over her chest and lightly caressing her breasts. When he heard her breathing get rapid again, he slid down a bit more. He breathed deeply and slowly let his breath out so she could feel it between her legs. He heard her gasp as he started kissing down her inner thigh before moving to the other one and kissing back up.

She now had spread her legs very wide in an obvious invitation. Harry began moving his face back and forth just barely touching her hair causing her to keep flinching. After just a minute of this, she moved her other hand to the back of his head and pulled it down onto her. When his tongue finally did reach her, she moaned, "Oh Harry." He began moving his mouth all around her. She would occasionally pull him very tight but Harry kept trying to tease her. Soon, he heard her start to moan deeply and breathe very hard. Then he placed his mouth around the spot he knew she wanted and sucked in deeply. Her hands pulled him in very tightly and her legs wrapped around his back. She bucked into him a few times and almost sat up before finally falling back down on her back.

Slowly he slid back up her body, kissing as he went. He kissed her neck and wrapped his arms around her and just held her for a while. Finally he heard her say, "My gosh Harry. I can't believe how good that felt."

He whispered in her hear, "My pleasure, I couldn't keep my hands off of you any longer." He pulled up and smiled at her. She put both hands on his head and pulled him into a very deep sensuous kiss. She started stroking his side and when he felt her hand go below his waist, he stopped her. "If I let you do that, there is no way I could wait. I'm going to have to stay frustrated if there is any hope on waiting."

"But Harry, I really want to," she begged.

"And so do I, but let me make it special. We'll go away next weekend. And, no more staying over until we do."

She pouted. "A whole week?"

Her hand was working its way down his body when he grabbed it. "I should go home and have a shower, but can you do me a favor first?"

She smiled and again started caressing him. "Um, not that favor," he said quickly. "I want to watch you walk to the shower now that it's light out. I still can't believe how beautiful you are."

Ginny just stared at him and couldn't believe that's what he wanted. She couldn't believe how good he made her feel about herself. He really made her feel beautiful and sexy. She knew she was ok looking, but nothing compared to the models he had dated. This had been one of her biggest concerns. She kept thinking that once he saw her that he would realize he'd rather be with one of them, but here he was asking to see her and calling her beautiful and she could tell he really meant it. Well if that's what he wanted, she would gladly give it to him. She confidently stood up, turned and looked straight at him and gave a fake yawn and stretch above her head. When she looked back at him, she saw him looking straight into her eyes with a large smile. She slowly walked out of the room and then peaked back in. "Happy now?"

He frowned and said. "No, you didn't give me a kiss before you left."

She ran back and jumped on the bed and gave him a deep kiss before jumping up and running back out.

Harry dressed and waited for her to come out of the shower. She had on a dressing robe and gave him a hug. "I would have done anything for you this morning," she said playfully.

"I'll remember that," he said smiling.

"You do owe me a new pair of panties."

"Maybe we'll go shopping for some. I should probably get you a few pairs in case that happens again." He kissed her and said, "Oh, there's an event on Wednesday, would you like to go with me?"

"Of course Harry. I can't wait for another date with you. Don't forget about next weekend, I'm not letting you keep me waiting much longer."

"I don't think I could wait much longer." He kissed her goodbye and left.

Ginny was in such a good mood the next week that everyone she knew kept asking her what was up. She just said that she was in a good mood and wouldn't give any details. They even came into her office a few times when they heard her just break out laughing when everyone knew she was alone. Harry was feeling great as well but since he only saw a few people who knew him well, he didn't get many questions.

Harry appeared outside of Ginny's to pick her up for the fundraiser event. He had on his nice dress robes and knocked on Ginny's back door. She opened it quickly and instantly planted a big kiss onto him. "I missed you so much," she said.

"It's only been three days Gin," Harry said hugging her.

"Three nights! I don't like sleeping alone," she said with a pout coming across her face.

"As far as I know, you've slept alone most of your life. And, didn't you even tell me once that you kept making your boyfriends leave because you couldn't sleep when they were here?"

She blushed and silently cursed Harry knowing so much about her. "Well maybe but things change. I'm allowed to change my mind aren't I?"

Harry looked at her again in her nice dress. "You look great by the way. I'll have to work to keep the other guys away."

"Don't ever worry about that, I've got what I want," she replied before they left for the event.

The event was a lot of high-society and important business people raising money to purchase large tracts of land to use as a sanctuary for magical creatures. The foundation had given enough money and they were to be seated at a table with some very important business people. He and Ginny had made their way around mingling with the couples. Most of the other people there were older wizards, which caused Harry and Ginny to keep to themselves quite often. Ginny loved walking around and was impressed with how easily Harry moved from one conversation to the other. He also never hesitated to introduce Ginny as his very good friend. Ginny remembered he always introduced his dates as just his friend and she appreciated the subtle difference. They were alone near the bar when Ginny said, "I can't believe how easily you talk to these people."

"They're no better than us. Some of them are actually not nice at all, but at least they give money to help out. Don't think that just because someone is here that they're a good person."

Ginny and Harry danced to many songs during the event. While taking a break, they were standing near the bar when a very attractive woman asked Harry to dance. Harry glanced at Ginny who gave an approving nod so Harry went to dance with the woman. Ginny actually liked watching him dance and thought the two of them moved well together. Instead of feeling any jealousy, she felt happy that she was here with Harry. She had always been the woman he would dance with once and then go back to his real date before, and now she knew she was the one he would be coming back to. She got a very warm feeling when she caught Harry's eye and saw him give a wink from the dance floor.

After he came back, she leaned in and whispered, "You're so sexy. You seem so confident moving between these people. Want to stay over tonight?"

"Don't talk like that Gin. We're going away in a couple days and I already feel like there's so much pressure on me. What if I can't...you know...perform?"

Ginny laughed out loud causing some couples close to them to stare. This didn't bother Harry at all. "Have you ever not been able to perform?"

Harry quickly said, "Of course not."

"Then I won't let you use that excuse. You're going to give me what I want this weekend or you won't be walking much," she said and looked serious.

"What have I gotten myself into?" he joked, rolling his eyes.

The rest of the night went quickly. Ginny never tired of being with Harry. He rarely left her side and always made sure others knew she was with him. When Harry finally took Ginny home, he said a quick goodbye in her kitchen and left before he changed his mind about staying.

The next day Harry noticed a large picture in the Daily Prophet showing Ginny and him dancing. Normally he wouldn't look twice when his picture was in the paper, but this one actually made him smile. He had Ginny were dancing and she looked up and him and they gave each other very warm smiles. The article went on to talk about the two of them that night and that they came as a couple and danced most of the night. "Well it's out in the open now," Harry thought.

Harry hadn't talked to Ginny before appearing at her back door early Saturday afternoon. He knocked on the back door and Ginny pulled him into a big hug. "I missed you," she said.

"I missed you too Gin. All packed?"

"Packed? You told me I couldn't bring anything." A worried look came to her face.

"Oh that's right." He snickered before getting hit.

"Now can you tell me where we're going?" she asked.

"Nope, you'll see in a minute. By the way, did you get any grief over the picture in the paper the other day?"

Ginny blushed profusely. "Oh, kind of. My assistant seems really upset with me and I keep thinking people are whispering when I'm in Diagon Alley. I've been keeping away from seeing my brothers until you're there so they'll take anything out on you."

"That's not very nice. Maybe we should just cancel this little trip," he said, trying to sound serious.

Instantly she pulled out her wand. "That wouldn't be a very healthy thing to do."

"I guess not. Give me your hand and we'll go," Harry said taking her hand. Instantly they appeared inside of an office. Ginny still couldn't tell where they were, but she smelled the ocean. She was about to ask when a large man came from another room. "Ah. Mr. Potter. We've got everything setup for you. Let me take your bag."

Harry handed the man his bag and said, "Felipe, this is Miss Weasley. Ginny, this is Felipe, a friend of mine."

The two shook hands and Felipe said, "Will you two be going directly there?"

"Not directly. It seems Miss Weasley forgot her luggage. Could we get a car to the shopping district please?" Harry asked.

"Of course, one will be up directly. I'll take your bag on," Felipe said and left.

"Forgot my luggage did I? You're walking on thin ice. Now, where are we? And, wasn't he a Muggle?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, he's a Muggle. I kind of gave him a second chance a couple years ago when he fell in with the wrong crowd. He's really a good guy. We're in Monaco. I know this office doesn't look like much, but Felipe runs a company and we'll be out of here shortly."
