Don't- Part 1
By: FireSprite
A/N: Hey, thought of this last night. I now have it all planned out, so explaining it should be easier and that means I can focus on descriptions and writing it better!
Little background info: Ginny is an Auror, she has just returned from one of her missions. She's 18, Harry is 19, Sirius is God-knows how old! He's *oo* let's say he's 39 in this little ficcy!!! This starts out with Harry and Ginny together but it will not end up that way! Sorry all, I know how much you love G/H but this is a Sirius/Ginny fic!!! Now before you all hit your back button, I really think this is a good plot. If YOU don't or you have CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM, please R/R, it would help me!
And everyone say "HIYA" to my new beta reader Milkyweed24!!! *Claps* :D

Harry smiled as he looked at the letter once again. It read:
Harry,
Gin's back!! Big family celebration, which means you're invited to the family dinner!!! I'm sure Ginny will be glad to see you, she came back from her mission a little down! Anyhoo, I got to go pick up Hermione from the station. See you there!
Ron
Grabbing a present for Ginny, he got ready to apparate. He really had missed her this last year! He smiled again and disparated. Instantly he was in the Weasley household. He was standing in the kitchen, which smelled wonderful.
'Harry!' Cried Molly Weasley, coming from the stove. 'It's so good to see you' She wrapped Harry in a hug. 'It's nice to see you too Mrs. Weasley' Harry said, honestly. 'Er.. you know where Gin is?'
'Yes, poor dear, must be tired. She looks so sad! She in the living room. I'm sure seeing you will pick up her spirits!'
'Thanks Mrs. Weasley' He hung up his cloak and proceeded to head towards the living room. Music was playing in the background, something by Mozart, Harry guessed. Mr. Weasley had really gotten into the muggle classical music this last year, Harry remembered. He walked in and saw Ginny, sitting on the couch, head down. She had a pillow in her lap and was picking at it in a dejected way. 'Hey' He said, sitting down next to her. 'How are you?' Ginny looked up. Her eyes were hollow, they had lost their warmth in the last year. They reminded Harry of the look Sirius had first had when he had escaped.
'Hey' She whispered in a hoarse voice 'I'm fine, a little tired, I guess'
'Well, at least you're alive!' He said, grabbing her hand and giving it a squeeze. He noted how cold they were. 'I have something for you!' He said, trying to push that nagging feeling he was getting that something was wrong into the back of his head. Ginny tried to smile and failed. He handed her the small box. Opening it, she saw a gold bracelet.'Oh Harry! You shouldn't have!'
'Aww, it's nothing' He said
.'No, I mean you really shouldn't have!' Ginny licked her lips, which were very chapped. 'Harry, I have to tell you something. Can we go outside to talk in privet. Please?'
'Okay' Harry said, knowing there was something very wrong now. He followed Ginny out into the cold, windy yard.
'So, what is it?'
'Harry.. Harry' She said, not looking at him 'I'm so sorry, but I've fallen in love with someone else! Please don't be mad!' Harry stood there shocked. Ginny loved someone else? Who? And how could she if she had been working all year? 'Is it someone I know?' He asked, tentatively. Ginny looked up at him for the first time, her hollow eyes shinning with unshed tears.
'Sort of' She said, picking at her mitten. 'Not really... well it depends... I don't know!!' She said, crying now. She pressed the bracelet into Harry's palm. 'I'm so sorry' She whispered, before turning around and walking back to the house. Harry stood there for a long time, wondering who it could be.

Incidentally Harry was placed right next to Ginny at dinner. Neither party's had said anything about the break-up to anyone, so everyone thought they were both in paradise, sitting next to each other. Harry noticed there was an extra chair at the table. He made sure to count all the Weasleys. Satisfied that he wasn't missing anyone he looked over at Mr. Weasley and said:
'Who's sitting in the extra chair'
'It's a suprise for you Harry' Mr. Weasley said smiling, with a twinkle in his eyes, that resembled Dumbledore greatly. Harry smiled, in spite of himself. Everyone sat there, waiting for the mysterious guest to appear. Suddenly the flames from the fire place became green. Out popped a man, Sirius Black to be exact. He stood up and brushed the soot of his robes.
'Sirius!' Harry cried. Harry felt Ginny's neck snap up. Her fork dropped onto her plate with a clatter.
'Don't worry Gin!' Ron said to his sister 'He's innocent!' Ginny just stared at the figure in front of the fireplace.
'Gin?' He said. Harry looked from Sirius to Ginny and back again. They each wore identical expressions on their face. A mixture of horror, suprise and delight. Ginny stood up, knocking her chair over and ran up to her room, tears streaming down her face.
