Certain people are meant to be together –
And Harry and Ginny are definitely one of them.
I guess I knew it all along. Yeah, all these months – I knew she still had feelings for him. She was, somehow, different when she conversed with him. Of course, you would say she was nervous; but no – nervousness in front of Harry was Ginny's past.
Back when I was in my second year I remember noticing that she was cute..but of course that was it 'cause I didn't care about girls and all that time .. well, I was just a twelve year old innocent kiddo then!! On second thoughts - cancel the 'innocent' if you like. Haha – I just cracked a joke! Wow..well, not that wow – Ginny always said I had a good sense of humour. Argh, why do I always have to come back to her?
Oh well..I was anyway telling you about "Me and her – Us" itself..so might as well continue.
So after her first year, everyone was aware of her long-standing crush on Harry till her 3rd year or so. That is – my fourth year or so.
But at the end of my 4th year and my 5th year, I remember noticing that she was opening up – a lot; though she was still quite reserved around him. She was going around with Micheal and was getting really popular and all. I mean, I think that was the time I realized that she wasn't the cute-but-dumbsillyshy kind of girl; she was cute-and-funnywittysmart kind of girl. I was suddenly liking her a lot by the end of my 5th year! She had broken up with Michael so I just gave it a go and took my chance and by some miracle – she accepted! I noticed that she had become so damn easy around him by the time I had entered my 6th year; though that still (for "some reason") hadn't cleared that ruddy doubt of mine about her still having feelings for him! I guess that "reason" was the "difference" …you know ..which I told you about, earlier.
But, I can't understand what was different. Maybe the glow, the brightness on her face, the way her eyes lit up, I don't know – maybe just the thing that she was maybe..kind of…somehow - happier when she talked with him or had something; anything to do with him. Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating, but there definitely was something different when I saw her with him. It bothered me. No use denying that. Yeah, of course it bothered me!
But the thing was…I didn't have to let it bother me.
Then that day when we were happily ki-*ahem*-ing in that passage and were having a 'moment', her git of a brother and Harry had to come bursting right over there and spoilt everything! It's just so unfair – but my anger or frustration was nothing...nothing I tell you – compared to Ginny! Oh, well, before I start about her, let me tell you something.
To be honest – the expression on Harry's face (when he saw us, I mean) ..you wouldn't believe me..it..uh..kinda..scared me. I mean.. embarrassment, awkwardness or anything along those lines would have been..you know..understood, if you get me; but there was a kind of fierceness on his face. It looked like he had a lock-jaw, there was a kind of determined expression on his face as if he was stopping himself from beating me to a pulp or a kind of ..anger..which made him look that he wouldn't want anything more than to give me a good punch right then and there! I mean, he isn't her brother or something! Okay – he's her brother's best friend – but what's his problem!?! But then, Gin was really fiery and pissed off you know, most of which would have been 'cause of Ron, I guess, yeah but – she was really bugged up with both of them – you could say; so I tried not to notice anything and told myself to stop analyzing things so much and enjoy myself with her! ..
** x x x **
So guess the few months that followed were some of the best of my life..
And then, that ruddy day.. I had to laugh about Harry being hit by the bludger.. and she had to get offended and then on top of that mad at me.. so then I tried to be a gentleman.. I tried to be you know.. solicitous.. to avoid rows. .. I didn't wanna break up with her man. .she was GOOD .. I thought she'd like it.. but Merlin, I was wrong.
** x x x **
Then that bloody day.. I dunno how.. or who.. 'cause it SURE wasn't me.. pushed her a bit while we were going through that portrait hole. I didn't know what was the big deal.. I just couldn't understand! .. And then – it ended. Just like that. SHIT man.. .
I remember Seamus coming over and telling me, as I sat brooding in a corner of the common room –
"Its not as if it's the end of the world, mate.", he said, clapping me on the shoulder.
I didn't say anything.. Yes, it certainly wasn't the end of the world.. but definitely a pause. I knew I was acting like I was in LOVE with her or something.. but I seriously liked her a lot!
He looked at me worriedly for a minute, shook his head and then went away.
I didn't mind actually.. I was best left alone with me and my depressing thoughts.. All I wanted was Ginny.. but she certainly didn't want me anymore.. so..
~ *** ~ *** ~
And then that day ..
We all were like so happy .. winning the match and all.. there was the whole Gryffindor Common Room.. she.. I mean… Ginny.. excellent seeking.. as always.. Harry hadn't played .. he came throught the door.. and then suddenly.. the glass of butterbeer in my hands froze midway to my mouth .. as she was running towards him .. or he towards her.. I didn't see.. all I saw was both of them were hugging and next moment – they were snogging the hell out of each other!!! HOW THE HECK?!? ..
Who were you fooling, Dean? You always knew it.. , said a small voice in my head.
Yes, I did.. but I didn't know those feelings were SO prominent!
.. So, why did you think she left you? Because, she had stopped liking you? Nah, she had started liking HIM more..
Oh, come on! STOP IT! .. Whatever reasons.. is this it? She's – gone - ? to – him? Not – coming – back ? to – me?
Yes.. ofcourse.
But – but - NO!!! ..
Calm down, man. You knew it man. You knew she still liked him.. you knew she was bound to go to him.. you liked her.. she liked you as well.. for sometime.. you knew she wouldn't be with you forever! .. You got your chance, man. She chose him.
I pondered over that for few minutes I guess..
Yeah, I knew it. Yep, I guess as I said earlier.. I knew it all along.. you are absolutely right .. She was bound to go to him .. He was bound to get her (Never mind the fact that it's always HIM who gets everything) .. yeah, they were bound to get together someday, they are the madeforeachother sort I guess.. 'cause – Certain people are meant to be together – And Harry and Ginny are definitely one of them.
