Harry and Ginny. Easter. Chocolate. Perfection. Etc etc.
Easter eggs from Mum,” said Ginny. “There’s one for you…there you go…”
She handed him a handsome chocolate egg decorated with small, iced Snitches and, according to the packaging, containing a bag of Fizzing Whizbees. Harry looked at it for a moment, then, to his horror, felt a hard lump rise in his throat.
“Are you okay, Harry?” asked Ginny quietly.

He glanced around to make sure that nobody was listening; Madam Pince was several shelves away, stamping out a pile of books for a frantic-looking Hannah Abbott.
“I wish I could talk to Sirius,” he muttered. “But I know I can’t.”
Ginny continued to watch him thoughtfully. More to give himself something to do than because he really wanted any, Harry unwrapped his Easter egg, broke off a large bit and put it into his mouth.
“Well,” said Ginny slowly, helping herself to a bit of egg too, “If you really want to talk to Sirius, I expect we could think of a way to do it…”

“The thing about growing up with Fred and George,” said Ginny thoughtfully, “is that you sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.”
Harry looked at her. Perhaps it was the effect of the chocolate - Lupin had always advised eating some after encounters with dementors - or simply because he had finally spoken aloud the wish that had been burning inside him for a week, but he felt a bit more hopeful ….

I love these two scenes because they mirror each other. In the first one Ginny is surprised to see Harry she’s at home not expecting it, but in the second one she’s at school not expecting it, 6 years later. The beautiful difference though is that in the second one Harry is in love with her the way she is with him in both.
