Ginny's Point of View

When I found out that I had gotten into Hogwarts, I was ecstatic even though I was guaranteed a spot being a member of a pure-blood family. It was time that the "baby" of the family finally branched out. I thought that maybe I could even hang out with Ron, Harry and the girl whose name I can't remember that my elder brother happened to be best "mates" with as he put it.

It was a known fact to pretty much everyone that I had a crush on the legendary Harry Potter no matter how hard I tried to hide it. Ron was the first person to find out about it but he didn't tease me as bad as the twins did when they found out. They were merciless in their teasing and normally Percy was the one who defended me but, against all odds he had somehow managed to erase his existence from the Weasleys that summer.

When I met Harry again, I was shocked to see how thin he was. I felt a surge of anger go through me targeted at the Dursleys before I saw Harry's smiling face and I felt the anger slide away. I noticed how my brothers treated Harry with ease and I felt a stab of jealousy as I gripped my chair wishing I could talk to him that easily.

I found my brother and Harry practically inseparable over the last few weeks of August as you could rarely find one without the other. I found myself wondering if the two boys were as close to each other as they were to the girl, Hermione, I believe.

At the moment, I instantly realized that if they even half as close to Hermione like they were to each other, it would be practically impossible for me to join their ranks. So if I wanted any hope whatsoever of being part of their club, clique whatever, I had to act NOW!

Slowly but surely, I started sliding myself into the boys schedule. It started with conversations during meal times and then playing quidditch with them with mini toy versions of the quaffles etc. Eventually I was able to hang out with them and join in on their conversations.

I thought the friendship between us has gotten so far, I could go shopping with them at Diagon Alley. Even if their other friend was joining us, I'm sure they wouldn't abandon me. That's where I fell prey to hope. They saw a random girl and then started heading towards her.

They snuck up on her, and then Harry practically attacked her with his hands on her shoulder. The girl quickly grabbed the hand on her right shoulder, twisted her body and then kicked Harry's feet out from under him. Harry on the other hand landed on his back.

"HARRY!" I yelled rushing to him in concern.

"Harry? Oh My God, are you okay?" The girl gasped finally realizing who it was, kneeling down.

Ron and the twins who had suddenly appeared beside him couldn't stop laughing at the scene before them. A flustered me, a shocked girl and a baffled Harry starting to get up. I suppose I would have been laughing too if I wasn't in this scene.

I kneeled before Harry and then snapped at the girl.

"What the hell was that! Is there something mentally wrong with you? Is that why you freaked out for nothing?" I screamed at the brunette.

After I finished screaming, I noticed an abrupt silence hang over Ron, the twins and Harry. Harry awkwardly got up and brushed himself off while the girl with bushy brown hair seemed close to tears. Ron quickly moved to the girl's side and awkwardly put an arm around her to which she semi leaned in wiping her eyes with the backs of her hand. The twins just looked plain shocked at my outburst.

That was when I put the pieces together. A girl with bushy hair that my brother had an arm around with Harry on her other side holding her waist. Friend…Bushy brown hair….Friendship…Hermione!

The moment I realized that was Hermione, I suddenly felt ashamed.

"Hermione, I am sooo sorry. I didn't know that you were…. you." I said desolately as I looked at my shoes.

"It's fine." Hermione said regaining her composure and stepped away from the boys.

"I don't believe we have been properly introduced, I'm Hermione Granger and you are….. Ginny Weasley, correct?" She asked going back into friendly mode.

"Yah, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to….."

"It's fine, really so are we ready to go shopping for school stuff." Hermione said turning back towards the boys avoiding their now questioning glances.

"Sure," Harry said giving Hermione a pointed look and grabbed Ron's right arm pulling him towards Hermione when he grabbed her arm and dragged both of them off.

"See you around, Ginny!" Hermione screamed behind her as she was dragged away by Harry.

That was when I realized the bond between Ron and Harry was nothing compared to the bond shared by Ron, Harry and Hermione.
