“I’m sorry, darling. Today was-”
Harry brought the bucket up closer to her so that there would be less of a splash.
“Today was supposed to be a good time. Instead you’re stuck here holding a bucket full of vomit.”
“It's not your fault the curry was bad. And it's not full, babe.” He smiled, and his glasses slipped. The arch caught on the nib of his nose. Ginny’s brown eyes caught the sudden movement and she could not help but give a knee-jerk giggle. Harry’s eyes crossed as he set his head back to reduce the risk of his spectacles falling into the abyss.
“Not babe, love. I do have a realistic idea of what I look like.”
Harry flung his head sharply to one side and his glasses fell loudly on the floor. He cocked his head to the side and leaned forward until his nose touched hers.
“Look into my eyes. Do you see them? Whether they are wet with tears or bright with joy, they’re what I see you through. And they’ve not lied to me yet. You are beautiful. Whether you’re laughing or puking, you are gorgeous.”
Ginny smiled, her red lashes coming together to frame her brown eyes, sweeter than chocolate, in her wan, freckled face.
And then Harry raised the bucket.
