3. Dean
"Are you serious?" Ginny gaped as Dean lifted the tapestry.
"Yeah, I am. No one comes this way anymore, Gin." His eyes had a mischievous glint and paired with his wicked smile, she was putty in his hand.
The past months she'd had with Dean were emotionally charged. He was the first boy that made her feel attractive and because of that, Ginny carried herself better and more confidently. He was the first to kiss her without asking and oh, could he kiss. At first, she was jealous over whomever taught him to kiss like that, but now she was rather thankful. Dean was unashamed of his physical attraction to her and she fought to keep things under check. Ginny knew she wasn't ready for a lot of things that Dean talked about; there were even times that she flat out slapped his hands away.
"Let's just go outside. It's a beautiful day," she tried to insist with only a half-hearted attempt.
"Gin," he said from deep in his throat with his forehead touching hers, "I'm all worked up. Practice was phenomenal, and seeing you ride that broom made me think-"
"Stop!"she hissed, feeling her cheeks warm and a thrill run through her, knowing she could do something like that to him.
"Just kiss me, okay?" He leaned forward and touched her lips with hers. His strong lips moved across hers and he opened her mouth with his tongue. Ginny melted against him, running her hands over his back and his broad shoulders.
The kiss grew intense and she nearly forgot about breathing as Dean's hands became bolder and their bodies brushed against each other. Signals went up inside her brain, telling her to stop this before things went too far, but he made her feel so good…
"OI!"
Ginny broke apart from Dean and found Ron, wearing a decidedly murderous look, and Harry, looking shocked and ready to be sick. Ron, she could deal with rather easily; it was the look of utter surprise and a little heartbreak on Harry's face that would haunt her forever.
After fighting with Ron and goading him about his lack of kissing experience, Ginny stormed up to her room and threw herself onto her four-poster. After all this time, Harry chose this moment to notice her? Damn him! She punched her pillow before screaming into it. There was so much that she thought she'd got over in regards to him and the look on his face made all the old feelings for him come rumbling back to the surface.
This was going to be a long Quidditch season….
