…………………………………………………………………

Ginny POV

Why are boys so stupid? I mean proclaiming their undying love for you when you just told them you wanna take things slowly kinda doesn't make ANY sense to me. Don't get me wrong I really like Dean, but I am beginning to feel that my feelings for him are never going to be as grand as his feelings for me. Which I don't think is fair on him. At all. Ah can't sleep. Gonna go get a drink.

Later

Oh. My. God. When I got downstairs I noticed the kitchen light was already on. I figured the twins were doing some more late night 'research' for their new joke shop. But I couldn't hear the usual banging and popping etc so I figured it would be at least safe to go in.

It was only Harry in there. Only Harry. The Boy Who Lived and the boy who I had loved for, oh I don't know, HALF MY LIFE! Gosh.

Getting over my silly little crush on him had to have been one of the best things I ever did. He would never even think of me as anything other than his best mates little sister anyway.

After I realized that it was Harry and not Fred or George a number of things happened very quickly.

Harry turned around and almost dropped the glass he was holding and said to me "Oh it's only you Gin. I thought it might have been the twins attempting to do some more 'research'" Since when did he call me Gin?

I realized I was only wearing my pj shorts with the little lady bugs on them and a singlet that was at least 2 sizes to small. Well it was a hot summers night.

I darted behind the kitchen table to try to hide my very bare legs, while saying to Harry "It's ok I was just… uhhhh" like and idiot.

"It's ok I was done." Harry said unsurely.

"No, stay." I kinda blurted it out before I realized what I was doing. God what is wrong with me?

I sat down at the kitchen table with a glass of milk which Harry had poured for me. Out of all the seats at our table (which is quite big considering the number of brothers I have) Harry chose to sit in the seat right next to mine. Out of all the seats… very strange.

"So what's got you awake?" Harry asked me.

"Oh it's nothing" I said hoping to avoid the 'D' word. I didn't want to go and complain about my boy trouble to my brother's best mate.

"Sure" Harry replied, rolling his eyes jokingly.

"Well what's got you up then? Huh?" I said matching the humour in his eyes.

"Ron's snoring for one thing," Ron can snore like a tractor when he wants to, "and I was just thinking about Sirius."

Sirius' death hadn't been mentioned much at all during the summer even though Harry was staying with us at the Burrow.

"I haven't been sleeping much at all actually." Harry said with a certain amount of sorrow in his voice. Everyone knew that night at the Ministry had hit Harry the hardest. The poor guy has had to deal with so much in his life. It's not fair, but as Mum always says, life's never fair. But it still sucks.

Harry POV

Something inside me changed. The shell I was hiding in cracked, a wall came down. Everything inside me just came pouring out. Everything I was feeling about Sirius, the prophecy. I don't know why I told her. But I knew that no matter what I could trust Ginny.

Sometime later I realised that I had been talking non-stop for quite a while.

"Wow. I cant believe I just told you all of that." I said tentatively, "Thanks Gin." There I go again with Gin. What's with that?

"Its ok. You know you can trust me. No matter what. Sometimes you just need to tell someone everything that's going on. It helps."

I let out a small yawn which Ginny noticed.

"All that talking worn you out, hey?" she asked with a small smile creeping across her face. Gosh she looks pretty when she smiles. Wait I just called Ginny pretty! What's wrong with me?

"Yeah I think so," I finally managed to get out while smiling back at her.

There was something about her that just made me feel like I could talk to her about anything and she would understand.

Ginny POV

I could tell he was truly grateful for me staying there and listening to him.

When we had finished talking, there was something about him which was different. The sparkle had come back to his eyes. Harry had been missing it for sometime now.

"Thanks so much Gin" he whispered as he pulled me into a hug.

"No problem Harry. You know I am always here."

We decided to call it a night then as it was getting pretty late. Harry was walking towards the stairs when he stopped and turned to me. I was thinking about everything that we had talked about so I didn't notice that he had stopped so I walked straight into him. After stifling our giggles, what's so funny about it anyway? Harry gave me another hug. This hug was longer than the one before. And it felt as if he wasn't going to let go anytime soon. What was going on? I never knew that Harry was a double-hug kind of guy. Not that I have thought about what kind of hugger Harry is… But being in his arms felt incredibly… right. What is with all this?
