What if Harry and Ginny became close long before the Half-Blood Prince? This story takes place at the beginning of Harry's 2nd year (Ginny's 1st year) and will hopefully go through at least the battle of Hogwarts.

"It was Christmas Eve of 1996, only a short nine months had passed since Ginny Weasley had first told Harry Potter, the boy she had loved since the day they met, that she loved him." A sequel to my other story 'The Patronus', set a short time before the Death Eaters attack The Burrow.

This is a short One-Shot taking place somewhere between the events of Order of The Phoniex and The Half Blood Prince. It shows a different way that Harry and Ginny could have discovered that they love each other.
