The one that got away~
Chapter 1: The Fight
*In the Griffindor common room* Dean Thomas' POV*
"Seriously " Ginny said "You are getting mad at me for having to go to Slughorn's tea party! It's not my fault I got invited! "Yes!" I said "This is the fifth date of ours that you've blown off. You can't keep doing this!" "Oh so now it's my fault that Slughorn likes me" Ginny spat. "Now I never said that" I retorted "Stop putting words in my mouth." "Please we'll just reschedule for tomorrow" Ginny pleaded "I have remedial charms tomorrow" I said with a sigh "This is the only night I'm free" "Why don't we just take a break from each other? Ginny said with a note of sorrow "We are so busy we don't even have time for each other" "Now come on Nerva don't talk like that" I said, my heart dropping to my feet "We can work this out"
"But what if we can't " she said, tears now streaming down her face. It pained me to see her like this. "What if we just keep fighting? I can't stand crying myself to sleep every night!" Now I was tearing up. "Nerva you can't think like that or it won't work" I half- yelled-half-said "We need some time alone Dean." "Well fine if you think we should end a perfectly good relationship due to us being busy than do it!" I yelled. "Oh great" I thought, now the whole common room was staring at us. "Fine!" "Fine!" "Great, thanks a lot Dean, now I'm late and we are being stared at" she mumbled.
Then she just left without saying good-bye. I threw down my things and stormed up to the boy's dormitory.
"Hey I'm sorry mate" Seamus said as I sat down on my bed "That was brutal" "You heard from up here?" "Nah I was down there a moment ago. She's got fight in her" "Yeah".
I got up and left, not knowing where I was going but that I needed to go somewhere. As I strolled the corridors—keeping a sharp eye out for Ms. Norris—the argument replayed in my head. Pounding, and pounding the words of "Why don't we just take a break from each other?" repeated until they had no meaning.
