Rating: PG
#01 - Comfort - Sometimes he wonders if his presence is a true pleasure for her, or just a consolation.
#02 - Kiss - They were chatting in the hallway, her face quiet and subdued, when he finally worked up the nerve to kiss her.
#03 - Soft - She could still remember the stains his soft crayons left on his skin, turning his hands into a riot of color.
#04 - Pain - A week after, it still hurt to look up and not see her bearing down on him at full speed.
#05 - Potatoes - He’d insisted his mother’s potato casserole was as good as Molly’s; they’d eventually had to agree to disagree.
#06 - Rain - The one time they tried for a romantic kiss in the rain, she complained about what it had done to her cloak.
#07 - Chocolate - He’d always consider the raid on Fred and George’s chocolate stash one of the high points of their relationship.
#08 - Happiness - Helping her through the portrait and opening doors for her made him happy, so she usually grinned and accepted it.
#09 - Telephone - “No bloody way you can hear me all the way from here.”
#10 - Ears - Comparing her ears to slices of bleached broccoli probably hadn’t been his smoothest line ever, but the way she laughed made up for his embarrassment.
#11 - Name - The name Weasley always came with expectations, and being with someone who only knew them vaguely was a relief.
#12 - Sensual - Gentle fingers on his eyelids and cheeks and lips; these turned him on more than any blatant display ever could.
#13 - Death - After Dumbledore’s funeral, he’d considered approaching her, and spent the next three days berating himself.
#14 - Sex - She’d jokingly suggested they try doing it in the common room at midnight; he’d wisely squirmed and changed the subject.
#15 - Touch - Their touches were fumbling and gentle at first, but they turned quick and rough quickly enough to make him nervous.
#16 - Weakness - Every couple had weaknesses in their relationship; he’d assumed they could work through theirs.
#17 - Tears - It surprised and worried her, how little she felt like crying when it was all over.
#18 - Speed - He tried to tell himself it didn’t hurt that she’d replaced him so quickly; sometimes, he could even convince himself.
#19 - Wind - The wind whipping through her hair as she ran and laughed made his hands itch more than usual for a pencil and paper.
#20 - Freedom - Plenty of people will say she dumped him solely for Harry, but they’ll never know how much of it was just for freedom.
#21 - Life - As Seamus liked to say, he had to suck it up and admit that life would go on regardless.
#22 - Jealousy - Dean’s first impulse when Harry saw them kissing was to tell him to shove it, and stay away.
#23 - Hands - He once told her hands were a window into the soul; she’d laughed, but with a touch of curiosity.
#24 - Taste - Their first kiss tasted of nerves and curiosity and the chicken she’d had for lunch.
#25 - Devotion - He’s sure she was faithful while they were together, which makes it a little easier.
#26 - Forever - ‘Is this going to last forever?’ is a question she strives to not let herself answer.
#27 - Blood - Ron’s attempts at interfering with them were more a source of amusement than anything.
#28 - Sickness - The tumble off her broom only kept her in the infirmary for a night, but he made sure to visit her all the same.
#29 - Melody - She liked to creep up on him when he was whistling some obscure muggle melody to himself.
#30 - Star - He once saw her sneaking out of the castle in the evening, but was content to watch her soar against the rising stars.
#31 - Home - This castle would never be home to him in quite the way it was to her.
#32 - Confusion - Both the beginning and ending of their relationship left him confused, uncertain, and a little afraid.
#33 - Fear - He’d never admit it to her, but the thought of her out there on the pitch, flying alongside Slytherins and bludgers, scared him.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder - They watched an approaching lightning storm from a hallway window, the thunder making him shudder and her gasp.
#35 - Bonds - Holding her tightly, he tried to imagine some kind of bond holding them together.
#36 - Market - The idea of Harrods had tempted her, but she’d felt the need to stay closer to her family over the summer.
#37 - Technology - Ginny’s expression when she saw her first cellphone made the hours he’d spent working to earn it worthwhile.
#38 - Gift - She always looked embarrassed when the subject of Christmas presents came up, but he’d always managed to defuse it with a smile and a kiss.
#39 - Smile - Seeing him grin up at her from the ground made her want to send her broom swerving and wheeling through the air.
#40 - Innocence - With Michael, she’d assumed it would last forever; with Dean, she was good deal more cautious.
#41 - Completion - That portrait of her he’d started back in November sat at the bottom of his desk, unfinished.
#42 - Clouds - He’d always say the clouds looked like castles or horses or armies; she’d laugh and say they looked like rain.
#43 - Sky - Though she never said it, she always found his fear of flying perplexing and a little annoying.
#44 - Heaven - When Dean first kissed Ginny, he believed with all his sixteen year old heart he was in Heaven.
#45 - Hell - When he saw Ginny kissing Harry in front of everyone, he believed with all his seventeen year old heart he was in Hell.
#46 - Sun - The sun turned her hair to burnished gold.
#47 - Moon - Staring up at the moon from her window in the Burrow, Ginny firmly did not let herself thing of all the times she’d watched it with Dean.
#48 - Waves - He spent a great deal of time afterwards staring out at the lake’s tiny waves, letting them calm him.
#49 - Hair - They’d both loved running their hands through each other’s hair.
#50 - Supernova - She still had no idea what it meant, but her fondest memory of Dean remained him comparing her kisses to a supernova.
