"Wow, Harry you really out done yourself." Ginny commented. She was really excited, I could tell. Her eye's were twinkling and her hair was shining brightly and it was almost blinding.

We had just arrived at the restaurant we were to eat at, the 'Bouquet of Roses' it was really elegant. The tables were lined with Downey whitish cream table cloth, and the romance candles. There was a single Red Rose as the center piece and an expensive wine in the holder.

You held my hand and then you slipped away

And I may never see your face again

So tell me how to fill the emptiness inside

Without love, what is life?

I pulled out a chair, waited as awed Ginny sat down and then pushed her in. "Lovely isn't it" I said waving my hand around.

"Yes, It's really beautiful." she replied. Ginny took hold my hand. "Harry listen this is really beautiful but ..." she trailed off biting her lip. She took a deep breath and continued, "I can't do this Harry, we're over. I don't want to be the trio tag-along anymore."

Her eyes had turned cold and was were starting to water and sting with tears.

She let go of my hand and got up, "I'm sorry." She grabbed her cloak, slipped out the front door of the restaurant and was gone.

I sat there numb. How can she do this to me? I thought We were going great for 2 months. What happened?

And anyone who knew us both can see

We always were the better part of me

I never wanted to be this free

All this pain, does it go away

"Hermione, What did I do wrong? Things were great. We always had fun..." I cried out.

"Yes, Harry I know. You guys were perfect. And you always looked better and was happier when you went out,then before you did." Hermione said sympathetically.

"Yes, Hermione I never wanted to break up, and I feel hurt that she did it. And numb too. Why'd she do it and will this pain leave me alone... it's torture."

Then every time I turn around

And you're nowhere to be found

I know I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

Oh, I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

To you, to you

"Harry, Harry!"

I turned around. Ginny! I thought. . . Nope, it was just Hermione.

"How are you?" She asked looking concerned. "You look like you haven't slept in ages." She was referring to the slightly bulging bags under my eyes, and my hair which looked worse then normal.

"I'm .. Fine." I lied. Hermione searched my face. I gulped. That was the give-a-way, "Harry your lying." she said.



From memory, there is no hiding place

Turn on the TV and I see you there

In every crowd there's always someone with your face

Everywhere, trying not to care

"Ok... Ok.." I said reluctantly. "It's just that everywhere I go I expect her to be right behind me. Every place I go there's reminders of our relationship. When someone calls me I except it to be her, when there's a red head walking by..." I was crying by then but I didn't care.

Then every time I turn around

And you're nowhere to be found

I know I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

Oh, I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

I continued on, "I think that its her and... her voice, I hear it every where... and it just hurts Hermione, It just hurts."

Hermione came closer to me as if not to scare. She wrapped her arms around me in a hug, "I know Harry, It hurtsbut it always hurts for the first little while but then it just leaves. The pain will go."

To you, I wish you everythin'

And all the best that life can bring

I only hope you think of me sometimes, oh

And even though I feel the pain

I know that I will love again

The time will come, oh, and I'll move on

As I entered Diagon Alley through the brick entrance way I saw a flash of red. "Ginny!" I called out.

She stopped and turned to me reluctantly. She smiled, "Hullo Harry. How are you?"

"I'm.. fine." I lied again. I gulped too.

Ginny looked at me "Harry you were never good at lying."

"Ok..." I sighted. "I just miss us, that's all."

"Harry you never really looked twice at me until Dean and Hermione were together you know. I was your second to her, you just never realized it."

I looked at her suddenly realizing that she was right. "Ginny your right, all I'm gonna say is I hope everything you do makes you happy and that I do wish we were together but that's not gonna happen. Is it?"

She shook her head. No.

I love you I thought and almost said it, I love you but you don't love me. But all I said was, "Think of me sometimes ok... just don't forget me." I will love again I thought. I will. But I got along way to go before I do.



I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you

Oh, I got a long, long way to go, got a long way to go

Before I can say goodbye, before I say goodbye

To all I ever knew, to all I ever knew

I got a long, I got a long, long way to go, long way to go

Before I can say, before I say, goodbye to you

Say goodbye, say goodbye

Oh, I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to all I ever knew

Girl, I wish you the best I know, oh and all of the rest, to you

I got a long, long way to go

Before I can say goodbye to you



The End!
