She loved going there, watching the squid and fishes swim and play in the water. She stopped cold and her breath caught in her throat, when she saw someone was already there. And that someone was Harry Potter. She watched him and immediately memorized his features. He hadn't been himself lately. At meals he just sat and stared at his food, pushing it around on his plate with his fork until it turned to mush. Ron and Hermione hadn't been able to cheer him up either. They didn't know what to do, he barely ever spoke, even Draco Malfoy hadn't teased him, getting no reaction from him. His Quidditch team was suffering, the practices being useless, as he just sat up on his broom, staring into space, noticing nothing around him. But there he was, looking over the lake at the full moon in the sky, his knees brought up to his chest, his arms around them. His cloak lay spread out behind him, like a princes cape. He looked so fragile, sitting there leaning sideways against the trunk of the willow, that Ginny longed to run to him and sooth him, like a mother would a child. As his back was to her, she couldn't see his face, but she knew if she did, her heart would brake into a thousand pieces. The slight breeze ruffled his hair, and made him look like a knight who had lost something most cherished. He made no noise, not moving at all, just staring at the moon. Ginny silently walked up to him, moving to stand next to him. she tried to not look into his face, but she couldn't resist. He looked so sad, so lost that she cried out to him on the inside. She whispered his name. "Harry?" He made no movement or sound but she saw a faint glimmer of recognition in his eyes. She sat slowly down beside him, not moving her eyes from his face. Finally she tore eyes from him, and focused on the moon. She noticed how bright it shown as it gleamed at her in a soft welcome. She didn't know how long she sat there next to Harry, staring the white moon, until Harry spoke. "Did you ever wonder what it would be like to walk on the moon? To just up-and-leave, leaving all your troubles behind you? To look down at earth and know you were out of harms way, and welcomed among the stars?" It was barely a whisper, but she heard every word. "Yes. I wonder that every night." He turned his head to look at her. He reached for her hand, and clasping it in his own said, "If I asked you, would you walk on the moon with me?" She turned her own head, not believing what he asked. "Anytime, Harry." He smiled faintly, and putting an arm around her, drew her near. She rested her head on his shoulder, he rested his head on hers. "Good," he murmured. He wrapped his other arm around her, and together they watched the moon as a cloud moved to cover it. Before it did, Ginny could swear that she had seen Dumbledore's face smiling down at them. _______________________________________________________ A/N: Do you like it? I don't know where this came from. I wrote it in about ten minutes. There aren't enough Harry/Ginny pairings posted. They like, totally belong together. Well anyway, review and tell me if you want a sequel. I don't know if I want to do one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Chapter ( 2 ) » ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Review Story ( be a responsible reader and write a review) Title: Walk on the Moon Name: Email: (optional) Review: If you feel that this entry violates any of the guidelines set by FanFiction.Net please click here to notify the staff.

It was like he had died and came back from the dead. You could now find him laughing or playing jokes on poor, innocent people… if you counted Malfoy as 'poor and innocent'. No one knew what had brought on the change, but they were happy none-the-less. Ginny and Harry made it a regular routine to sit by the willow every night, staring at the moon, or watching the squid in the lake. They hadn't confessed anything, but they were content to lay in each others arms, wishing otherwise. When questioned where they left to every night after sundown, they would truthfully say that they watched the moon. Many times they came close to telling the other how they felt. But neither knew how to start or what to say. When together during meals or in the common room, they barely spoke. It was a week later that Hermione finally found out what they did at night, and relayed it to Ron. Together, they devised a plan to get them to tell each other the truth. Many students (and even a few teachers) got in on it. And not long after they set their plan in motion. Harry and Ginny were once again sitting under the full moon, a month after Harry broke out of his shell. They were brought out of their reverie by one of the school owls, as it landed in front of them, a letter bound to its legs. They pulled it off, wondering who would send a letter to them, as it was addressed: To Mr. Harry Potter and Miss Ginny Weasley It read something like this: You are needed in the Mess Hall at your utmost convenience. (A.k.a., right now.) They stared at the note in bewilderment, but got up, and went to the castle anyway. They ran into neither ghost nor student nor teacher, as they made their way to the Mess Hall. When they entered, they were met by the most brilliant sight. The room was shining in the faux-moons light, as though the whole room were lit up on its own, the floor bathed in a silvery glow. A soft, romantic song was playing from somewhere, though Harry had a suspicion that it might be coming from the walls themselves. He smiled at the now giggling girl beside him. he walked to the center of the clear hall, turned to her, and imitated a bow. "Will the lady honor me with a dance?" Ginny smiled, and walked up to him. He put his arms around her waist like he had done so many nights before. Her arms found them selves around his neck, and they swayed to the gentle sound. Cheek-to-cheek they danced, in their own world where nothing existed but themselves. Ginny moved to look him in the eyes. What she saw sent waves of emotions through her. "Harry?" "Mmm?" "Did you ever take that walk on the moon?" "Yes. And now I'm back on Earth." He leaned forward, and kissed her. _______________________________________________________________ A/N: I know, short again. But oh well. I wrote this because I have writers block. If any of you are waiting for chapter five of "Harry Potter and the Secret of the Guardian", expect a long wait. I'm not continuing this, but if you have any suggestions for another side-story, feel free to give them. One more thing. Do any of you peeps have a good name for a dragon? I also need a nickname for these animals: A doe; a stag; a dog; a cat; an eagle; and a phoenix. It's for my story.
