Harry was nervous. He'd hardly been able to sleep the night before. Of course there had been the strange, new noises of the jungle around him, but Ginny had been a large part of it. He finally resigned himself to a sleepless night around 5am and got up, at first just milling about aimlessly in his shorts.
Finally he made himself a cup of herbal tea and, pulling on a house coat, went out onto the porch to watch the sun come up. It really was a beautiful place, even if the warm weather and exotic location would take some getting used to. Just as dawn crested, Harry watched a huge bird wander out of the thick underbrush and across the yard. Unsure if it would show dangerous interest in him or not, he held his wand at the ready. The bird, however, took no notice of him and disappeared into the jungle a few long moments later.
He stayed out there for quite some time, long after the dregs of his tea had settled and dried in the bottom of his cup. Stretching his arms high over his head, he checked his watched and saw that he had just enough time to shower and get ready before, he assumed, Ginny would show up. They hadn't set an exact time, but he knew her to be just about as much of a morning person as he was.
A little while later he was dressed and toweling his unruly hair dry when he heard a knock on his door. He grinned to himself and slipped his glasses back on, noting the dark circles under his eyes. He slipped his wand into its holster along the outside of his right leg and made his way to the front door. His hands smoothed down his plain grey t shirt and worn denims, an unusual gesture for him.
Without any more hesitation he pulled the door open and couldn't help but smile broadly at the sight that greeted him.
"Ginny," caution was thrown to the wind and he stepped forward, wrapping her in a tight embrace. "Merlin, I've missed you."
