Okay, so this idea has been stuck in my head for, like, FOREVER! Detailed A/N at bottom. Until then, enjoy!

Little Did They Know: Chapter 1

Harry Potter.

That name was more familiar to her than you could possibly ever know.

Of course, he probably had no idea what she was like.

He probably didn't know that she was a hopeless romantic or that she loved Quidditch just as much as he did or that her favorite ice cream flavor was Mint Chocolate Chip or that her favorite color was green, just as his eyes…

Or that she was hopelessly head-over-heels in love with him…

She could only wish that she had better things to do on her Friday night, but considering the fact that he and her brother would just across the Common Room, playing Wizard's Chess, she figured that she couldn't be that boring.

Or was she?

All of her friends seemed to have made arrangements: Dates, study sessions, book clubs, Girl Night Outs, trips to the kitchens, etc. So, why hadn't she?

Is that why Harry wasn't interested in her? Was she plain? Was she dull? Boring, even?

Maybe she was…

She watched as his brow furrowed over the lightning-bolt shaped scar that she loved so much. The light of the flames reflected lightly on his jet-black hair, and his emerald eyes danced as he discovered his next move. "Checkmate," she heard him say cheerfully.

Merlin, she had it bad…

Then, in that single moment, everything changed. Her poise was no longer one of a girl hunched down in a scarlet armchair, but of a woman sitting up straight and confident. Her eyes were no longer dazed from her day-dreaming, but blazing with pride. A slow smile curved on her face.

Ginny Weasley decided then and there that her mere school-girl crush would be no more.

She would just be herself, date other boys, stop dwelling on unimportant details.

She would become unafraid and forget Harry Potter.

…Or so she thought.

Little did she know that her mere silly little crush would come back to haunt her.


A/N: Okay, I finally got it out! What do you think? It'll only be four chapters, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

In the meanwhile, anyone up for a challenge? (Thought I should promote this.) I'm looking for a very creative writer than can do pretty much anything with HP. See my profile for the entire profile challenge and all details, rules, and regulations.

Oh, yeah, and REVIEW!
