Maybe There's Hope


Harry walked into the library and sat down in a chair. He had a major essay from McGonagall that he really had to finish. He took his books out of his pack and sat them on the table. Before he looked down at the books on the table, he saw, the girl of his dreams…..Ginny Weasley.

He loved Ginny with all his might, he just didn't know is she felt the same way.

'She's cute isn't she?,' thought Harry.
'No!!!, you can't be thinking this, she's…well...RON'S SISTER!'
'So!,' thought Harry slobbering in his stare.
'SO!!?, well do you want to die young?'
'Of course not!'
'So, don't think of going over there and asking her on a date!'
'Date?! That's a great idea, thanks.'

Harry got up and walked quickly towards Ginny.

'Oh. NO. You. Don't!!,' thought Harry as he stopped dead in his tracks.
"Will you come ON!!," said Harry quietly through his teeth.
'No way.'
'Well, either you come on or I'll tell…um...Snape, that we played that we played that prank on him on Valentine's Day.'
'NO! NO! Please don't!'
'I'm going to…,' thought Harry.
'Fine.'

Harry walked next to Ginny.

"Can I speak with you?," he asked.
'Wait,' thought, Harry,' We didn't prank Snape on Valentine's Day!'
'Too late.'

"Harry? Harry. Harry? Are you okay?"
"Yeah." Harry was snapped out of his thoughts by a nail polished hand waving up and down in front of his face.
She repeated…..

"Harry, are you ok?"
"I already told you, yes."
" I also told you, yes, too."
Harry looked confused.

"Yes? Yes. I told you I'll speak with you," said a concerned Ginny.
"Oh yeah, let's go for a walk."
"Sure," said Ginny.

They walked around the pond in silence.
'Well aren't you going to say something Mr. Make -all-the-decisions-without-discussing it-with your conscience.?'
'I'm thinking, 'what if she says no.'
'Well you or WE should've thought about that.'

"Harry, I give up, you surely have something else on your mind. So…talk to me later," Ginny said as she turned to walk away.
"Wait," said Harry grabbing her arm," this needs to come out now….."

"Gin…I like you and I really needed to tell you---"
'Very good nice guy, now I'm sure she'll sic her SIX brothers on you now.'
"----will you do out with me…..?"

Silence.

"Well Harry, I wanted to go out with you for a long time now, but, it isn't a good time right now. Maybe if you ask me in a few days then maybe….
"That's fine," said Harry, as she left.

'Well, that wasn't that bad was it Mr. Wait-,no-her-brothers-are-going-to-kill-us-if-you-ask-her-on-a-date,' Harry told his conscience.
'Fine you're right. But she STILL turned us down…"
'But she also said 'Maybe if you ask me in a few days…'.

"………Maybe there's hope."
