Forgive & Forget

Authors Note- This is my first fanfic story so I'm still getting used to things. I would be really grateful for all that review and will try to reply to them all. Updates will probably be once a week unless I have some free time and post early.

Chapter 1-

The sun had just risen, the morning light peeping through the curtains in the Gryffindor Boys Dormitory. Harry rubbed his eyes as he began to stir, before reaching onto the small wooden side table and shoving his glasses onto his face. He propped himself up by his elbows and glanced around the room, it looked like everyone else had already upped and left to go get breakfast.

He yawned loudly and stretched his arms, withdrawing them quickly as a stinging pain ran sharply through him. He groaned as he climbed out of bed before dragging on a mucky white shirt and some faded jeans, picking up his wand and pushing it into his pocket.

As he descended the stairs down to the common room, he heard voices. They sounds harsh but were kept quiet. He stopped still in his tracks to listen to the muttering.

"Ginny. Why did you never tell him?" Hermione muttered, sounding slightly broken and surprised at the same time. The shock was clearly visible in her voice.

"Because Hermione, if you don't remember you have been camping out in the countryside for the past year nearly now. How could I of told him?" Ginny replied, raising her voice slightly as she replied.

"Why did you do it though? I thought you two had something that would last forever, something that would mean you never wanted to be apart. Or with other people for that matter." Hermione spat back. Harry froze, could Hermione be talking about his and Ginny's relationship before they left on their mission?

"I-I wasn't sure if he was going to ever come back. We never heard anything from you, where you were of if you were still even alive Hermione! A whole year not knowing." Ginny started, her voice growing ever louder as she spoke even though it wavered slightly as she held back tears. "It just happened, it was never planned or anything. He-he just kissed me and everything took off from there."

"You need to tell Harry though Ginny. On our way to Hogwarts that final night, he wanted to go find you so badly. I had to stop him by telling him not to get distracted, that the job needed finishing." Hermione replied, standing up. "I'm going to wake him up."

"No need to Hermione. I heard the whole thing." Harry exclaimed, finally revealing himself. Ginny turned around then froze as she heard his voice.

"You were spying on us Harry?" Ginny questioned, her voice sounding sharp and quite sickened.

"I wouldn't have called it spying." Harry replied, scowling at her. "So who is he then? Who kissed you?" He advanced on her slowly, the air static with tension.

"You don't need to know. Why would you care?" Ginny sneered at him, backing off slightly, keeping her distance so she didn't do anything stupid.

"Just tell me Ginny!" Harry shouted. Ginny looked down at the floor as he shouted, ashamed of the truth. "What the hell has happened Ginny? You had dreamed about going out with me since you met me seven years ago, then when you finally get what you want, you decide to ditch me. Did I get boring? Did I not live up to your expectations? Is that what it is?"

"No, Harry not at all." Ginny replied, tears starting to flow from her eyes. He was right though, she had just given up her dream.

"Well who is it? Who kissed you? Who are you dating then?" Harry pressed, only wanting to know whom she decided was better for her than he was.

"N-Neville..." Ginny murmured softly. Tears flowing down her face at a rapid pace as Hermione came to her side with a comforting arm.

"Neville! As In Neville Longbottom?" Harry shouted, looking rather pissed off. "You choose him over me because you thought I wouldn't come back to you? When did all this happen Ginny?" Harry asked, him voice softening slightly.

"Yes, Neville Longbottom. And I wasn't expecting you to come back at all. With all the rumours people were spreading, it seemed so unlikely. It happened about a week in from the start of the year. We were talking about getting the DA back together, we were in the Room of Requirement and when we just stopped talking, in the silence he kissed me." Ginny replied, tears now flowing rapidly.

At that moment, Neville walked through the portrait hole waving and smiling at the both of them. "Hey Harry, Hi Ginny." He said happily, kissing Ginny on the cheek as he walked past before he headed up to the boys dormitory.

"I'm going to kill him. I'm going to fucking kill him." Harry growled, following Neville at a rapid pace up the stairs.
