The Real Harry Potter

"Harry!" A voice called which caused Harry to stop as he was about to make his way back to the chamber, he turned to see Ginny Weasley running up to him. She was dressed in casual clothes so Harry guessed that she was going to Hogsmeade. "There you are!" She panted as she stopped in front of him. "I have something to tell you, can we talk in private?"

"Sure...I guess." Harry said before he guided her towards an abandoned classroom, Harry closed the door and put up a silencing charm before turning to her. "So what's up?" Ginny was suddenly very nervous but quickly pushed it aside and began speaking.

"Well you know how my brother Charlie works with dragons, I got a letter and met him today outside of the castle. I'm not sure but I think dragons might be the first task."

"You're brilliant, did you know that?" Harry smiled at her.

"But...but..." She blushed but continued speaking. "but I just told you that the..."

"Ginny, I already knew." Harry cut her off. "But I am glad that you told me."

"Oh...oh okay." She said, looking embarrassed. "Did...did Ron tell you?" She asked.

"No...did he know?" Harry raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah...but maybe he plans to tell you later!" Ginny said hopefully.

"We'll see," Harry said sceptically. "but it was actually Hagrid that told me. However back on the topic of you, I really am thankful you know."

"It's nothing...I just..."

"No," Harry said as he walked forward and took her hand in his own. "you not only believed me when I said I didn't enter my name but you also tried to help keep me alive, it means a lot."

"It's...it's only fair...I mean you did save me in my first year."

"Consider us more than even," Harry said with a smile that made her blush. "however I do have an offer for you."

"An...an offer?" She asked, looking him in the eye.

"Yes, I am not looking for a girlfriend Ginny." Harry said, causing her to nearly go as red as her hair. "Nor do I think I want one at the moment, probably not this year, maybe not even the next year. And when I do it might not even be you Ginny."

"Oh." She responded, looking incredibly disappointed.

"Here's where my offer comes in, do you want to snog?"

"What?!" She blurted out as the embarrassment came back in full force.

"It's quite simple." Harry shrugged. "I want to snog someone and I want to thank you so this is a win-win for me. I assume you want to kiss me, and this way you'll grow more confident and experienced as a woman and eventually you'll be able to move on and find a nice guy who is willing to settle down, so win-win for you as well. Don't you agree?"

"I..I suppose." She shifted on her feet.

"Ginny, this'll just be two friends having fun. And honestly I think we should do it now, however I don't want to hurt you either. We can stay friends with...'benefits'...but I am not looking to have you as a girlfriend or fall in love with you or anything."

"I...I understand." She sighed as she looked at him. "You know it's funny, I've had a massive crush on you for ages." She admitted. "Not just the boy-who-lived...but you as well."

"Really? I couldn't tell," Harry said dryly. "the squeaking and running meant you had a crush on me, here I thought I was just intimidating."

"Shut up," She laughed despite her embarrassment. "that's not funny."

"Then why are you laughing?" Harry countered. "Besides look at you Ginny, I think if you act more confident you're going to grow up into a nice woman with a nice husband."

"But not you though?" She asked.

"Not me," Harry shook his head. "I'm sorry Ginny, you're a nice girl and all but I've spent the last few years pretending to be nice and little polite Harry Potter for other people. Now I'm done acting and I am different, I don't think I'm the sort of guy you should be with. But...I do hope we can stay friends."

"Friends." Ginny nodded with a small smile, yes she was disappointed but she supposed it could be worse.

"I'm glad you're taking this well." Harry said.

"That's because whenever I imagined getting rejected it was with you telling me I was ugly or stupid or something and then laughing. This is much nicer in comparison."

"True but you are not stupid and you are definitely not ugly." Harry said as he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her in close, causing her to gasp. "So...you want to snog now?"

"I...I suppose I wouldn't object." She said as she grabbed both sides of his face and pulled him into a kiss.

Harry noticed that her lips were much softer than Rita Skeeter's, Harry started slow as he figured that this was Ginny's first kiss and it was his second.

Though to be fair when he snogged Skeeter he didn't give two shits how she felt, Ginny on the other hand was a friend who took the time to warn him about a potential danger so Harry wanted her to feel good. As the two got more into it their lips parted and tongues got involved. Several minutes later the two broke apart.

"Wow!" Ginny said as she panted and leaned her head on Harry's chest. "That was nice." She added in a quieter voice.

"Yeah," Harry agreed as he kissed her on the top of the head. "it was."

"So...what are we now?" Ginny asked as she looked up at him. "I know you said we're not boyfriend-girlfriend so what is this?"

"Friends with benefits I suppose." Harry replied. "Is that fine with you?"

"I suppose, how often do we have to do it?"

"Whenever we both feel up to it, doesn't even have to be a daily or weekly thing. For example let's say three months from now I have some tension and need it released and if you're in the same situation then we can snog it out of each other."

"That's fine I suppose, I guess we're keeping this secret. I don't want mum to know about this, if she doesn't get angry then she'll probably start planning a wedding."

"No offence to you but your mum does seem to be a bit...of a control freak."

"Huh?" Ginny laughed as the two let go of each other. "And here I thought you loved the woman like a mother?"

"Ginny I've only been around her for a couple of weeks and most of the time I had to listen to her shouting or giving orders, the woman seriously needs to learn how to relax." Harry said as he shook his head. "Anyway I'm off, see ya later then yeah?"

"Yeah sure." She smiled at him as he walked off. She supposed that if he wasn't going to be her boyfriend then friends with benefits was probably the next best option.
