Chapter One

Something was bugging Ginny. In her mind she could feel something was the matter with Harry, but what? Groaning she knew that now she would be unable to go back to sleep. Deciding that Hermione would be the best person to talk to she got up. Yawning Ginny made her way into Hermione's dorm, walking in she was glad to see Hermione was up.

"Hey." Hermione whispered genuinely glad to see Ginny. Even if it was about three in the morning.

"You're up early!" Ginny remarked, "New study plan?"

Hermione pulled a face a nodded towards Lavenders bed, she was fast asleep and Ginny could just make out her talking in her sleep. "And plus, it would be six not three."

"What?" Ginny asked trying to hear what Lavender was saying.

"Its – Oh erm… Don't worry." Hermione said blushing.

"RON… Won… Ronnie… Ron…" Lavender suddenly shouted. Ginny shivered and made a mental note for Hermione to give her a memory wipe of that soon.

"Do you want to go into the common room?" Ginny asked, sensing her friends pain. She sighed, why wouldn't they just go out? She was so sure they would at the Yule ball… But now they were into the sixth year at Hogwarts and they weren't even talking. But… She really wasn't one to talk.

"So what's the matter?"

"Hermione… Your advise was to date other guys? But its not working I still like-"

"Harry." Hermione finished smiling.

"Right pair we are, liking the dimmest guys in Hogwarts!"

Hermione paused, unnoticed by Ginny she seemed to be struggling to find the words to say.

"Alright girls?" Dean asked putting his arm around Ginny. Ginny hated herself at times, Dean was great, but he wasn't Harry. She knew Hermione thought she should break up, but with Christmas so close was it fair? She knew she really should, but how? They'd been arguing nearly all the time for the last month, but he stayed with her guessing it was stress. Dean saw her staring at him and leaned in towards her.

Breaking away she saw Harry standing awkwardly, next to him were Ron and Lavender. Ron was glaring at Dean.

"In your space 'Ronnie'" Ginny said mimicking Lavender, he was her brother but he was also being a right… hippogriff towards Hermione. "Don't worry, I have to go and find Hermione now."

Once out of the common room she ran towards moaning myrtle's bathroom. Looking in the mirror she felt her self-shaking and started to cry, part of her wished that Hermione had never said to date other guys, she wouldnt have fell of Dean then. But, she wouldn't be able to talk to Harry if not. As much as she wanted to just be with Harry it was now over complicated, liking two guys would never be easy she thought. Wiping her tears away, Ginny started to laugh dryly.

"You're really pathetic you know?" She told herself stubbornly. She didn't care about crying here, no one ever came in. She could always to into the chamber if things got that bad… No she thought what a thing to say? But she reminded herself, Harry came through for me once there before. Walking to the sinks she found the tap with a snake on, bending down she studied it. Her first year, possessed, tricked she nearly killed her best friend.

"Ginny?" A voice called.

"Hermione? What- How did you know I was here?"

"Harry, he saw me in the library and asked me to come and find you. It's a bit weird I can tell you looking for you on the map."

"Oh I'm sorry Hermione. I've been selfish, I'm sorry about my darling brother we all are. Mainly Fred and George… He ruined most of their pranks, but I mean it."

Hermione smiled, "don't worry."

"You're not coming to ours for Christmas are you?" Ginny asked sadly.

"No. I'm sorry Ginny. He has the right to date who he likes. But I just can't watch it. For a while I need space I think."

"You know what? I might just like… Phlegm, more than Lavender. But, it's a might."
