A short piece on Ginny's thoughts at the end of HBP that's been annoying me. Tell me what you think, even if you don't like it.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, as much as I wish I did.
I'd known it was coming, even before I looked in to his eyes after Professor Dumbledore's funeral. Harry could be extremely predictable, and it was only to be expected that he would one day leave to bring about the end of Lord Voldemort.
However, I'd always secretly hoped that this day would never come. Selfish of me though it is I never wanted him to leave, but once he gets an idea in to his head it's almost impossible to convince him otherwise. The past few months with Harry had been absolute bliss, and I never wanted them to end.
I smiled as I thought back to the days when I was too nervous and excited to mutter a single word around Harry. After he had rescued me from the Chamber of Secrets, my infatuation became even worse. I was desperate for him to think of me as someone other than Ron's little sister, but it wasn't until Hermione spoke to me that I finally started to relax around him.
"I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together." I'm not sure if he realised just how much those words hurt me. I did my best to hide my emotions and I never let a single tear escape, yet he has a way of being incredibly perceptive at times.
I know that he's trying to protect me by ending our relationship, but I hardly spared a thought for my own safety. In a few days, he – along with my brother and Hermione – will most likely end up in a number of life threatening situations, and he's still more worried about me than himself. I didn't know whether to be touched or annoyed that anyone could be so stupid.
Either way it doesn't matter. He'll be leaving soon, and there are six words I want to tell him before he leaves.
Come back to me, my love.
