Raindrops

Harry fumbled for his books that had just dropped on the ground. A girl with stunningly red hair swooped down and helped him. It was none other than Ginny Weasly.

"Hi Harry!" she replied hastily, while avoiding his eye. In their 5th year, she still fancied him greatly.

"How are classes Ginny?" he said, warmly smiling at her. She was a real sweetie.

She blushed lightly and smiled back.

"Fine, I guess. Professor Trelawney is out of her mind once again, and McGonagoll is extremely nice all the sudden."

Everyone at school was noticing the Professors cheerful disposition. It was a mystery, of course. No one knew what happened behind closed doors in this castle.

Suddenly, Ginny remembered a time. A special time in her life, when she had had the man of her dreams. She once had Harry's heart.

" Harry, do you remember when we were, you know, going out?" she said softly.

"Yes, I remember."

Harry frowned lightly. He didn't like to think about it. And besides, I would have broken her heart in the end, Harry thought. The story went something like this:

________________________________________________________________________



" Potter!"

Harry's head snapped from the clouds of daydreaming. Oh dear, he had been daydreaming again.

"Kindly demonstrate how you managed to make your Transfiguration book into your Potions book!" Professor McGonagoll was in a bad mood on the day of April 12th.

Harry idly waved his wand, muttered a few words and voila! His book was changed into One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi.

" Thank you Potter, that was excellent." Harry cheered up slightly. He had just gotten what was extravagant praise from a Professor.

"Class is dismissed"

"Thank God, I was wondering if I was ever going to get out alive." he thought, with a sigh of relief

Harry began walking down the stairs when, lo and behold, Ginny raced down to talk to him.

" Hey, Ginny! How are things at Percy's job going?"

" Ha! His job! What are you, kidding! He's been demoted, so now he's sulking around, and throwing fits. Ron absolutely loves it.", she said, grinning wolfishly at Harry.

Harry burst out laughing and his cheeks turned red with mirth.

Suddenly, Ginny looked him seriously in the eye.

"Harry, would you like to walk around the lake tonight?" She uncertainly looked down at the ground.

Harry was flabbergasted! Ginny was asking him out!

" Um, er... you see-" He was then cut off by Ginny

"It's OK, I understand. I should have known you have someone special in your life already."

"No, no Ginny. I was just surprised. Sure, I'll walk around the lake with you.

" Thank you, Harry. So, I'll see you tonight." With those words spoken, Ginny raced down the stairs, feeling lighter than air.
