Harry Potter The Kiss

Neville and Ginny didn't know if they had formed a bond but both felt better with contact so were rarely out of hand holding distance of each other.

Neville had watched the youngest of the redheads from afar never thinking he stood a chance, she was beautiful and fixated on another wizard, he was a very good people watcher and looking at Harry with Hermione knew Ginny was going to be heartbroken at some point.

Neville had already asked Ginny to the ball as a friend before all the turmoil leading to the creation of Miss Potter and the days spent with her while Harry was unconscious he learned what a special person she was, if anything he had fallen for her more.

When Harry had recovered and made the remark about Ginny needing his permission to date, Neville wasn't quite sure what came over him when he asked if he could court Ginny.

By the time Harry's answer had permeated his brain, courage had deserted him but Ginny had enough for them both which she proved kissing him in front of her family at breakfast.

Neville had known he was in love with the fiery little redhead since that moment and if the bond had any effect he was now sure Ginny was the girl he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Ginny had a feeling of contentment holding her boyfriends hand that she previously only experienced from Harry but when Neville kissed, her insides turned to goo, she knew that Harry would always love her but Neville adored Ginny and that was a totally different set of emotions.

She now understood how Hermione felt when Harry kissed her, Neville made her feel like the most special person in the whole world.

They were still young but she knew one thing, bond or no bond Mr Neville Longbottom wasn't going anywhere without Ginny Potter on his arm.

The group sat silently listening to Griphook's presentation and everyone had reached their own conclusion, nobody was smiling.

Both the Minister of Magic and Chief Witch looked ill while Ragnok was ready to rip someone's arm off and beat them with the wet bit.

The husband and wife teams of Potter and Granger made up the eight who were in this top-secret briefing.

"Dan, Emma in this situation you can anticipate reaction this news getting out would cause better than the rest of us. We would greatly appreciate your thoughts on the matter," said Harry

It was a very grave Dan Granger who answered, "war!"

Everyone in the room had reached the same conclusion while silently hoping they were wrong.

"I know we can't win but can we at least survive?" asked Amelia

"Not a snowball's chance in hell!" answered Hermione

Adrian Greengrass sat at the head of the dinner table contemplating recent events.

The pureblood backlash against the attack on the Potter's had surprised him, these short-sighed fools couldn't see further than their next bribe.

He was the one with the skills and planning to protect the wizarding world into the next millennium and this is the thanks he receives, some child declares a bloodfeud and they all run to the toilet shitting themselves.

He looked down the table at his wife and daughters, he would tell Astoria and Daphne after Christmas they wouldn't be returning to Hogwarts, not paying gold for them to learn to be muggles.

It was in his dealings with the muggles that he had been most brilliant, using dummy companies and always wearing a glamour when any direct meetings were necessary.

Unlike wizards you couldn't demand an unbreakable oath that everyone who knew his identity had to undertake, no Adrian wasn't worried about any investigation he was untouchable.

He was more worried about the service at dinner tonight, he had been finished eating for a couple of minutes and his plate was still there, he was just about to summon his useless head elf when a beautiful brown haired witch walked in the door.

Adrian Greengrass was shocked that anyone could find this place far less gain entry; he was just beginning to reach for his wand when the sword of Gryffindor touched him below his chin.
