Roses, Romance and Affairs

Dis: No, I don't own Harry Potter period.
A/N: I'm back AGAIN, with ANOTHER fic! I've been really bored lately, so here are my updates for like the next few months! Just kidding, I hope to keep updating when I can. Well anyway, I should warn you that this fic contains: mild lemon and some swearing...Well I'm not much of a swearing ficcy type person, so yeah...And this is also after Hogwarts...

"I don't know what to do, Ginny. He just seems so..."
"Distant?" Ginny finished Hermione's sentence, looking down into her mug. Hermione nodded and looked up.
"Exactly...But how'd you-?"
'Well...I guess I'm having the same trouble with Harry...And besides...I know my brother like the back of my hand." Ginny answered with a short sigh, clasping her mug with both of her hands. "No...You and Harry...But you two are so...Perfect together!" Hermione gasped a little. It was true...Harry and Ginny did seem to be happily married, and still content with each other. "I don't know Hermione. I mean, well...It's like he's getting cold feet...I-I tried to...Well you know, but he just...Pulled out of it. I don't know what's wrong, I seriously don't know." Ginny whispered, not daring to look up. "I might as well be a divorcee."
"Don't say that, Ginny! Harry still loves you, I'm sure of it. I just think you two might need some space from each other..."
"Yeah, well we already get that." Ginny said bitterly. "He's never home...He's always off at the pub. You don't think he's..." Ginny swallowed the lump in her throat as he brown eyes filled with angry tears. "Ginny...Don't say that, of course he wouldn't be...He's Harry...And the Harry I know would never shut his best friend's little sister out...And he wouldn't do it to his wife, either."
"I just hope you're right, Hermione." Ginny whispered quietly, her brown eyes now fixed on the table. "But it makes me feel...Unattractive...If he doesn't love me, then who the heck will or would?"
"Listen to me will you? You're one of the prettiest girls in the whole town!"
"Oh, come off it Hermione. If I went down to the bar, I wouldn't be able to pick up one guy...Trust me, I've tried!"
"Ginny!"
"What?"
"It's not Harry that's the problem...It's you!"
"Hermione! How can it be me?! How can I not get itchy feet if Harry's never there?"
"He's never there because you aren't!"
"No, you've got it wrong. It ISN'T me, because I've only ever been down the pub...Once...Or twice...Okay, okay, I've been down there a few times..." Hermione shook her head in defeat as she gave a sigh.
"Ginny, you have to clean up your act and start learning how to be faithful."
"But..." Ginny wailed as she twitched nervously. "I AM faithful!"
"Doesn't sound like it to me." Hermione sighed as she drained the rest of the coffee from her cup.
"Hermione, you're supposed to help me!" Ginny snapped...But not really intending to.
"Listen! Harry is my friend too! I KNOW that Harry would never get itchy feet, because I KNOW for a FACT that he truly LOVES you, but how can he when it's actually YOU that's the unfaithful one?! He knows it, and that's why he's never around you! It's so obvious, because Harry's been coming around here an awful lot!"
"You! You're the one he likes then!" Ginny yelled back, her eyes starting to bulge as she stood up angrily, sending the contents of her mug spilling onto the table. "NO! I DO NOT love Harry! Sure, he's a great friend, but I'd NEVER go THAT far!"
"Right! Whatever you fucking think!" And with that, Ginny stormed out, leaving Hermione with a look of twisted anger and hurt on her face.
"Hermione? What happened?" Ron asked in shock as he heard the front door slam, making one of the glass panels shatter. It took a little while for the angry and shocked Hermione to answer. "Well...Ginny thinks I'm having an affair with Harry...Which of course I'm NOT..."
"Oh God...Not this AGAIN!"
"What do you mean...Again?"
"Well...Ginny's been telling me that you and Harry were having an affair and yadda ya. I know you and Harry would never..."
"Of course we wouldn't!" Hermione answered sharply. "We're just really good friends, we always HAVE been! Ginny's just been acting...Too strange for my liking."
"Don't worry about her...She's probably just acting up. Besides, I think Harry and Ginny took it too fast..."
"What do you mean? They've been dating for AGES!"
"I know that...But they don't seem right together...Well not to me. Harry's been depressed and Ginny...I don't even WANT to start on her."
