Chapter one: In Love Again

Ginny Weasley sat alone in the common room, pretending to do her potions essay, even though she had been staring at someone, Harry of course. The same boy she always stared at. Every time she looked at him her heart ached. She had grown to be good friends with Harry recently, and even though it raised her hopes a little bit, her heart sank every time she talked to him. Every time she heard his voice, she couldn't help but realize that that she would never hear that voice say "I love you." And every time he smiled her insides turned themselves in knots, because she knew it was only a friendly smile and that she shouldn't expect more. Every time he talked to another girl, Ginny couldn't help but feel a slight pang of jealousy inside her, even though he had every right to talk to them. Every time she heard his name her ears involuntarily perked up and listened to what was being said. Ginny knew that she had no chance with Harry but she couldn't help herself.

She thought about him non-stop. She tried to get over him, she tried to push him out of her mind, she tried to move on, but one smile from him made all the feelings rush back to her heart like a stampede. She tried to point out his faults to herself but the few that she did find made her love Harry even more. Ginny was in love. And you can't just make yourself fall out of love. Not that love is a bad thing, but when it is not a mutual feeling it is quite painful. She could think of hundreds of reasons why Harry would never love her back and she should just move on. but it didn't help the feeling was there.

The next day Ginny and Harry were talking and laughing about how terrible Snape was, and every time Harry laughed she fell in love with him all over again. She knew she was torturing herself by talking to him and being friends with him, but being away from him was painful also. One day Ginny just had an emotional breakdown over this, and began crying in the common room late one night. She heard someone come down the stairs from the dormitories, but she didn't look up. She hoped it was Ron- he could comfort her, but instead it was the person she wanted to see the least and the most- Harry.

"Ginny what's wrong?" He asked concerned

She looked up into his eyes, Should she tell him that he was the reason she was crying. He already knew that she liked him, what did she have to lose?

"Nothing," she said unconvincingly as she hastily wiped away her tears and got up to leave. Harry stopped her and looked in her eyes.

"Ginny, you can tell me anything, it'll make you fell better if you say whats on your mind," He persuaded

This was a pivotal point in the conversation. Should she break down and tell him, or should she run away? She took a deep breath.

"I.I. I don't know how to act around you," she sobbed

" What do you mean? Just be yourself," He told her

"I can't"

"Of course you can"

"No, I can't, I can't just be friends with you- it's just to painful," she sobbed while she looked away, His hands still gently gripping her arms to keep her there. She couldn't look it him-it was too embarrassing. Here she was basically saying that she loved him even though she knew he would not say it back.

"Ginny..," Harry started but suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"Harry," she said shakily "I don't know if I should smile because you're my friend or cry because that's all we'll ever be" just choking out the words between sobs as she now looked up into his eyes. Her Courage failed her and she broke his grasp and ran to her room.
