1. The story of us

A/N: The chapter title is "The story of us" by Taylor swift

Ginny sat in potions class, staring out of the small window, wishing she was somewhere else. She absent-mindedly twirled her quill between her fingers, blobbing little drops of ink onto her parchment as Professor Snape explained the importance of the upcoming exams.

However she had too much on her mind to worry about such trivial things as school work. "Class dismissed", droned Snape in his monotonous voice. Ginny slowly got up from her seat and gathered her things. It seemed like lately even the smallest task required an immense amount of effort, as if the thoughts that weighed her down physically existed and were pulling her to the ground with every move she made.

"Harry". Even the mention of his name sent a thousand thoughts spinning through her mind. Their little conversations about nothing that meant the world to her. The rare but heartfelt compliments she received and of course their kiss in the Room of Requirement last Friday.

She made her way towards the Gryffindor common room. She muttered the password and climbed through the secret passage. The room was buzzing with people but somehow she managed to feel alone. Hermione spotted her when she looked up from her book. "Ginny whats wrong? You look depressed", she called to her from the arm chair by the fire. "Nothing much, can we go up to the dorm for a chat?" she asked hoping that there would be no one up there, so they could have a proper chat. "Sure", replied Hermione as she got up from her chair and the two girls made there way to the stairs.

Hermione sat perched on the end of the bed waiting for her friend to begin her story. "You know that DA meeting last Friday night?" she began. "yes how could I forget, Seamus nearly blew us all up with a disarming spell". she laughed. "Well there was quite a mess left afterwards, so I stayed behind to help Harry".

Hermione looked at her the youngest Weasly unsure of what was to come next, had something bad happened, or the total opposite. There was a flurry of scenarios flying through her head as she waited anxiously for Ginny to contuinue on with the story. She paused for a while and there was a long silence. Hermione couldn't take the suspense any longer so she broke the silence by saying " oh my, you didn't….. Kiss Harry did you?"

"NO!" exclaimed Ginny. "Well yes, but well he kissed me" she said quietly. "You mean you didn't want him to?" enquired her friend, who in recent times had become more like a sister. "No I wanted him to, I have always wanted him too, since I first met him on platform nine and three quarters five years ago" she was getting distressed.

"I cant say I haven't noticed the way you look at him, and that dreamy stare you do when he's talking to you". Ginny looked slightly embarrassed by this. "Is it really that obvious?"
