Don't give up hope

Ginny was sitting in the common room, it was early in early in the morning and nobody was up yet, so she had decided to read a 'Quidditch through the ages' which she had borrowed from the library. But then she noticed Hermione coming down the stairs. She was a bit surprised to see her up at this time, as usually she slept in until at least 8 o'clock.

'Hello Hermione'

'Oh hi' Hermione said yawning 'Ginny your just the person I wanted to see'

'Right, well what's up?' Ginny asked enquiringly.

'Ok Listen Ginny you know that time when I told you to forget Harry for a while and maybe go out with some other people, and stop pining for him?'

'Erm what? Oh yes I do course I do, and I will thank you again for the advice Hermione it really helped me, I have actually been out with some other boys and I luckily overcome my embarrassment around him, and can now actually be friends with him'

'I know – and he gets to see the real you now. But do you still have feelings for him in the same way you use to?

Ginny paused for a while, did she still feel for him the same way? Oh she knew the answer to that. 'Of course, I would be lying if I said I didn't. I am still in love with him I suppose, but I understand now that he isn't likely to reciprocate my feelings. I am fine with that, because after all there are plenty more attractive boys out there. Anyway why you ask?

'No reason, only that I am starting to think Harry my actually like you in that way!'

'What?' Ginny gasped 'Wh…why do you think that all of a sudden?'

'Well it's just he seemed rather interested about you and Dean splitting up'

'Oh is that it – Hermione he was probably only interested because it might cause a bit of a predicament with both of us on the team.'

'Umm that is what his excuse was too, but Ginny there are times when I have seen him gaze at you and then he will go into this little daydream whilst looking at you, to me that is a big clue that a he likes you! And just think after training sessions he always goes to talk to you and walks you back to the castle and then after that he is happy for hours.'

'Like I said me and Harry are friends now so he's bound to come and to talk to me, and he's only happy after Quidditch training because he has had a good time flying and stuff. No Hermione I'm sorry but I think your just interrupting this all wrong.'

'Ginny can't you see - I think it's worked, you acting like yourself around him has made him have feelings back.' Hermione said exasperated.

'Hermione I think your wrong' Ginny found it weird to say this to Hermione

'Ginny when am I usually wrong?' She was right, Hermione was hardly ever wrong.

'Ok I get your point, you are always have to be right! But just drop this one Ok?' Her temper flaring up. 'Your only going to make me get my heart broken! '

'Ginny' Hermione responded calmly as she worked towards the portrait hole off to breakfast, 'Don't give up hope, you'll see what I mean...'
