Chapter 1

I do not own anything but the plot!! Everything else belongs to the wonderful J.K. Rowling!!

Ginny Weasley. Tall, slender, red headed, beautiful. All you need to know. Except of course if you're Harry James Potter. Then Ginny Weasley is more than those things you just read above. Yes, Harry goes deeper than that. Unlike most men. He goes for personality, passion, trust, honesty, blah, blah, blah. Not your typically man. Probably the only known man in all humanity that knows how to treat a lady. Every witch wants him and only witch can have him. Ginny Weasley.

"Oi, sweetheart! Oi! How 'bout some Fire Whiskey over here eh?!" A drunken wizard called over to the waitress. Ginny turned around and waved at him.

"I'll be right there sir!" She called back. The man looked disgruntled but nodded. She turned back to her co-worker and one of her best friends, Katie Bell. The two women worked at The Three Broomsticks, for almost four years now. A little job during Hogwarts now turned into a full time job while also training to become Healers at St. Mungo's. The two best friends lived together, worked together, ate together, watched muggle TV and movies together... Yeah they did just about everything together. Attached at the hips those two.

"I really wish all these ugly, old, wizards would stop coming in here! Why can't more handsome, young wizards come in more? I mean honestly!" Katie said, shaking her long brown haired head. Ginny laughed.

"You know that will never happen. But at least we get eye candy. There's no doubting that." Ginny said. Katie nodded.

"Yeah that's true. And we have the nice regulars. Even if they are old and ugly." She said, causing Ginny to laugh some more.

"I'll be right back." Ginny said and loaded a tray with Fire Whiskey shots. She walked over to the table containing the drunken wizard and his comrades. She set the tray down and smiled.

"There you guy gentlemen! Enjoy!" She said. They said their thanks and she walked back to Katie. The door opened and the bell jingled, causing the two waitresses to look over. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Oliver Wood, and Seamus Finnigan walked through the door, all of them chatting heartily and laughing. Katie looked over at the flushing Ginny and smiled.

"Oh well look who it is! Harry Potter!" She teased, gently pushing Ginny's shoulder. Ginny gave her a look that clearly read, 'Don't start!'

"Ginny! How's my little sister?" Ron asked, a huge smile on his face.

"I'm fine Ron how are you?" She returned the greeting.

"Ah you know how it is! Just taking one day at a time!" He said, and patted her hand. Ron and his best mates walked over to a booth in the corner, Harry smiling and giving Ginny a little wave. She returned the gesture. Oliver winked at Katie, causing her to start a fit of giggles. Ginny shook her head at her.

"You know he likes you! Why don't you just ask him to come over for dinner already? You know im a great cook! I wouldn't mind wining and dining you two one night." Ginny said. Katie looked at her, her eyes wide.

"Hey now! I'm just as good a cook as you are! So what if I burn my toast every once in a while? It happens to everyone!" She commented. Ginny snorted.

"Right! Well you want to take them or me?" Ginny asked, getting her pad and pencil out. Katie threw a hand out.

"I'll get them!" She said quickly and dashed off to the table. Ginny watched her flirt with Oliver and everyone else at the table. Except Harry. Katie knew he was off limits. No matter how many women wanted him, she knew deep down in her heart that he had a thing for Ginny and only Ginny. Women still threw themselves at him but he kindly and politely turn them down.

"So guys what can I get you?" Katie asked, her pencil at the ready.

"Bring us a couple of rounds of Fire Whiskey shots, and then after that, bring us some of that muggle beer. Don't care what kind, just bring them to us." Ron answered for everyone at the table. His fellow companions nodded in agreement and Katie wrote it all down.

"Alright... Anything else? We got some of those muggle appetizers, buffalo wings. They're really good actually." She encountered. Seamus rubbed his hands together.

"Yeah bring us some of those too!" He said giddily.

"Alright. Whiskey, beer and buffalo wings, coming up!" She smiled and walked off. She handed the ticket to Ginny who read it.

"Such men huh?" She laughed. Katie nodded.

"Oh yeah." And Katie started making the shots, while Ginny went in the back to get the muggle beer and buffalo wings started.

------------------------------------

"So that blonde last night mates... Let me tell ya! A wild cat in bed!" Seamus bragged. Ron rolled his eyes and Harry laughed. Oliver choked on his beer but joined Harry's laughter.

"Seamus how in the world do you get all these women?" Ron asked amazed. Seamus shrugged his shoulders and grinned.

"I'm that good my friend. I'm that good." He boasted.

"Obviously." Harry inquired. He looked off towards the bar, seeing Ginny cleaning glasses. He smiled a small smile.

"Harry you okay?" Ron asked. Harry blinked and looked at Ron.

"Yeah why?" He asked, feeling his cheeks get hot. Ron smiled slyly at him.

"You know why. My sister has got you hot and bothered." He said. Oliver and Seamus chuckled. Harry knew he couldn't save his ass now.

"Ron come on... Please don't start..." Harry begged. Ron held up his hands in defeat.

"Alright, alright! Sorry..." He said, and took a swig of his beer. It was time to turn the tables. "So Oliver... Katie is pretty gorgeous... You ever going to get the courage up and ask her out?" Oliver quickly took a shot of Fire Whiskey, cringing as the fire like alcohol ran down his throat.

"Sometime. But not right now. I like to keep my options open." He said, rolling the shot glass along his hands. Seamus snorted.

"She practically throwing herself at you man!" Seamus said. Oliver smiled.

"Yeah she is isn't she?" He said smugly. Everyone at the table laughed.

"So get after it mate! Come on!" Ron said, clapping Oliver on the back. Oliver scratched his chin and sighed.

"Yeah I guess I better get a move on." He said. The guys nodded their heads in agreement. "Alright. Before we leave I'll as her out. Happy?" He said.

"Very!" Seamus said. They continued to talk, mostly about women, drank some more and ate their buffalo wings.

"So have you heard from Hermione lately?" Katie asked Ginny as she was putting money in the cash register. Ginny shook her head no.

"No. Not since last week. But you know how she is. She's studying hard." Ginny said. Hermione had went to a muggle college to study to become a Biologist. That course of action was a surprise. Who would have thought Hermione was going to become a Biologist? But that was Hermione for you. Full of surprises. Once she got her degree she was going to movie back to England and start her job here.

"Yeah that's true. Nothing has changed about her." Katie said. After cleaning all the glasses and tidying up behind the bar and in the back, Ginny was ready to go home. And she knew her best friend was too. As the time passed slowly like a snail, the pubs customers started leaving. They all said their goodbyes to the two waitresses and soon, Harry, Ron, Oliver and Seamus were the only ones left. Ginny thought they stayed so late on purpose. They finally stood up, and walked over to the bar.

"Well ladies we are leaving. Had such a jolly good time." Ron said sarcastically. Ginny raised an eyebrow at him.

"Right. Well goodnight then!" She said, shooing them off. Ron and Seamus walked out the door, leaving Harry and Oliver behind.

"Hey Katie? Can I talk to you for a moment?" Oliver asked her. Katie smiled dreamily.

"Of course you can." And followed him out the door. Now it was just Ginny and Harry. Awkward. Harry cleared his throat.

"So how have you been?" He asked her finally. Ginny smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Oh just fine. And yourself? How's Auror training going?" She asked him.

"I'm good. Yeah training is going really good. Me and Ron are going with Kingsley on Friday on real mission. Some wizard has been causing some trouble down in Knockturn Alley. Supposedly selling some dark magic artifacts." Harry said. Ginny listened intently, her mind wondering off.

'Merlin he's so handsome. And so intelligent...' She thought. She rested her head on her hand, listening to him go on about the mission. Harry had defiantly changed over the years since they all graduated Hogwarts. He was twenty-four and Ginny was twenty-three. Harry was tall, but not as tall as Ron of course. He was a little taller than Ginny, she met him almost eye to eye but not quite. His raven hair was unruly like always, but so sexy. His emerald green eyes shined with confidence and happiness. His body had filled out nicely from Quidditch and all the Auror physical training. Ginny had daydreamed about him without a shirt on for many years now. But lately, her daydreams had turned more intimate, and... Naughty.

"Ginny?" Harry's sweet voice brought her back to reality. She blinked up at him. "Are you alright? You seem a little flushed." He said. She shook her head and smiled shyly.

"Yes, yes im fine. I'm just hot. I mean im just feeling a little hot! Does it seem hot in here to you or is it just me?" She stuttered, getting more embrassed every time she spoke. Harry chuckled at her.

"I think it's just you." He said smirking at her. If she didn't know any better he was flirting with her. And she liked it.

"I think it is." She flirted back. He smiled at her and she returned that smile but with some white teeth. Just then the door opened and the bell jingled happily. Katie walked in, her own toothy grin plastered on her face.

"Oh Harry! The guys are waiting for you. And their getting impatient." She said, walking around the bar to stand next to Ginny.

"Right. Well I'll see you later." Harry to Ginny. She nodded. He waved to goodbye to Katie who waved back. As soon as the door shut behind him, Katie let out an excited yelp. Ginny looked at her curiously.

"Oliver finally asked me out! Can you believe it?!" She said excitedly, hugging Ginny so tightly she thought she would faint from lack of air.

"Katie I can't breath!" She wheezed out.

"Oh! Sorry, sorry!" Katie giggled, and let go of Ginny.

"I'm glad you two are finally going out on a date. It's about bloody time!" She said, patting Katie on the shoulder. Katie huffed.

"I know! I can't believe it took him this long to ask me!" She said, suddenly the happiness leaving her face and voice.

"Don't get angry! Be happy! I mean it was worth the wait right?" Ginny asked hesitantly. Katie stood their, looking deeply in thought. She suddenly smiled.

"Yes, yes defiantly worth the wait!" She said and started jumping up and down like a little girl who just got a pony for her birthday. Ginny laughed at her. After an hour or two of cleaning the entire pub, the two best friends went home. They shared a flat in down town London. They lived their for two years, and loved it. They made the flat over, every room reflecting their personalities. Ginny walked into her room, throwing her bag onto a chair and collapsing onto her bed with a loud and heavy sigh. Katie stood in her doorway.

"You know you and Harry must of had a very interesting conversation when the rest of us were outside." Katie said. Ginny leaned up on her elbows to look at Katie.

"What are you talking about?" She asked her.

"Because when I walked in you two were looking at each other like a couple of love sick teenagers." Katie said. Ginny rolled her eyes and dropped her head back down onto her bed.

"Kate get real..." She said but trailed off.

"No you get real! You were blushing like you just seen Harry naked!" Katie exclaimed, jumping onto Ginny's bed laughing.

"Katie stop!" Ginny said, laughing with her. Katie kept jumping up and down on Ginny's bed, making her bounce.

"Not until you admit that you like Harry and want to be with him!" Katie said, her jumping intensifying.

"Alright, alright I like Harry! You happy now?!" She exclaimed, tripping Katie, causing her to fall onto the bed, out of breath.

"Yes! I knew it!" She said in victory. They laughed and talked for hours until Katie decided to go to bed. Ginny lay in her own bed, thinking about her night. She did like Harry. But she was beginning to have different feelings for him. Feelings that were tickling her insides. Butterflies flying around in her stomach. She loved Harry James Potter. And that was that.
