Chapter 1 – August
Monday August 18th
Before I start to write I must ask. Hello? Is anyone else here? Tom?! Ah good then I can start. It's been another boring day at home and just as hectic as any other. Fred and George swapped Percy's shampoo for glue and now his hands are stuck to his head. It's quite funny actually, he chasing them around but keeps falling over because his balance isn't too good.
Ron seems to be in a good mood if that's even possible. He spends a lot of time in his room writing to Hermione. That's strange; his never seemed so interested in writing before, I wonder why…
I'm in a very good mood today because Harry's coming to stay with us. Yay!!! It's not as though he notices I'm here anyway, never mind. Oooh! I can hear Ron downstairs and I think he's with Harry!
Harry smiled at me! I know it's not much but it made me feel all warm and tingly inside. I'm sitting in the kitchen at the moment with mum because the boys have all gone to play Quidditch, except for Percy of course because he is trying to cut the glue out of his already messed up hair.
Ah, what can I do now? I think I might go and watch the boys play Quidditch and try to ignore anything Fred and George might say to embarrass me, I'm sure they won't even know I'm there…
Wrong! They all came over to me while I sat under a tree. Fred and George had that look on their face, a look that said 'get ready to be embarrassed'. Fred just had to say: "Hey Gin, what you doing here? Have you come to watch Harry on his broom and pretend its you?" My face went as red as my hair. I looked up at Harry and he was blushing. Wow! Harry blushing over me! I better not get my hopes up though; he'd never be interested in me.
Thursday 21st August
I decided to do some homework today, very boring! I was sitting up the table doing it and I got very stuck on my History of Magic homework. I didn't have enough books to look up the information I needed and got a bit stressed. Professor Binns would kill me if I didn't finish my essay. Harry came downstairs and sat next to me and started talking to me.
"Hey Gin, how's your homework going?" Instead of falling off my chair or throwing up, I replied. "Awful, I haven't got enough information to finish it. I'm missing a text book". "Oh, I have one. I'll go get it for you" Harry said as he got up and left the room. He came back holding it and put it on the table. I thought he'd leave after that but he decided to stay.
"Do you mind if I read what you've done so far?" Harry asked me. "As long as it doesn't bore you" I replied. Harry actually laughed! I made Harry laugh! I've never done that before! My work was a few inches away from me and quite far from Harry's reach. I thought he'd get up to get it but he didn't. He leaned over me to reach it. I was blushing like mad! He smells sooooo nice! Just like peaches I thought.
After he'd read it, Ron came in and Harry left with him but before he left, he winked at me. What does that mean? I thought there might be something wrong with me so I looked in the mirror to check. I saw my fourteen year old self look back at me. I'd grown quite a bit in the last few years. I was know about 5 foot 2 and had grown into my figure quite nicely. My red hair which had been extremely bushy was now straight and sleek. I didn't think I looked too bad. There was nothing wrong so I decided to write in here. I'd better stop now though, I still have Potions homework to do, sigh. Maybe Harry can help me.
Sunday 24th August
What is it about Sundays that make them so boring? I do have something to look forward to though; my best friends Abby, Lou, Susie and Katy are coming round for the day. Maybe I should ask them about Harry and what has been going on. He is being very nice to me whenever he sees me and is always smiling at me. Maybe he feels sorry for me, thinking that I have no friends. Well, he'll know that I do by tomorrow.
Monday 25th August
Its official, my friends are crazy. I told them what was going on with Harry and they all started to giggle. I wondered what was so funny and Abby finally spoke. "He has a crush on you". I was completely shocked that she'd say that! I don't want my friends to feel sorry for me; they know deep down that Harry would NEVER like me, why would they say that? I didn't say that of course, I just smiled and said: "whatever" and changed the subject.
Thursday 28th August
I've started to pack my Hogwarts things now, just so I know I'm prepared. Hermione's coming today; Ron is very excited for some reason. I think he fancy's her, how funny is that?! I'm looking forward to Hermione coming because we can have a sleepover in my room; she's really cool when she's not talking about schoolwork.
My day was quite normal up until I decided to get a drink from the kitchen. I turned the corner and saw Harry and Hermione there. I was about to enter anyway but I heard them talking about who Harry likes. Hermione began to talk: "I know you still like Cho, Harry". "Do I now? How did you know that?" Harry asked. "It's kind of obvious, you should ask her out" Hermione said. "Maybe…" Harry replied. At this point, I'd decided I'd had enough and left the room. (A/N: What Ginny didn't know was that the conversation continued and they weren't talking about Cho…).
I ran up my stairs and burst into my room. I jumped onto my bed and buried my face into my pillow and began to cry softly. I couldn't believe it, Harry liked Cho still. My friends were so wrong! It wasn't as though I believed them anyway. I decided to call Lou to tell her about it. She was very nice and cheered me up. We talked for about half an hour but mum came upstairs and told me to get off the phone. (A/N: Ginny knows how to use a phone because she does Muggle Studies).
By the time it was 6:30pm, I heard mum call me to come downstairs to dinner. I reluctantly left my bed and walked slowly down the stairs. Everyone else was already sitting at the table. The only space left was opposite Harry. When I sat down, Harry smiled at me. I weakly smiled back.
After dinner, I quickly went back upstairs and put up Hermione's blow up bed she'd be sleeping on tonight. By about 8:00pm, Hermione came back upstairs. Hermione noticed there was something wrong so I thought I might as well tell her. "Harry likes Cho doesn't he? I didn't mean to overhear you two talking, I'm sorry" I said to her. "It's ok Gin, how much did you hear though?" Hermione asked a little worried. "I left when you said to Harry that he should ask Cho out and he said maybe" I replied. Hermione looked quite relieved. (A/N: Hermione had also told Harry what she thought of Ron)
"You still like Harry don't you?" Hermione asked me softly. I nodded my head in agreement. "Yeah, he'd never like me anyway" I said. Hermione looked at me as though she knew something I didn't…
Sunday 31st August
Back to Hogwarts tomorrow! I can't wait. It might cheer me up from this whole Harry thing. Ron and Hermione are acting different. They keep going off together and come back smiling widely. By about 10:00pm, me, Hermione, Ron and Harry were sitting by the fire. Harry kept glancing at me looking as though he wanted to talk to me. Hermione noticed this and whispered something to Ron and they left the room.
Me and Harry just sat there in silence. I was about to go upstairs to go to bed until Harry came and sat in the chair next to me where Hermione was sitting. He looked at me a moment and then began to talk. "Do you like anyone, Ginny?" I was quite surprised he'd asked that and was about to say yes but thought for a moment. If Harry knew I liked him, he'd feel sorry for me, I don't want pity.
I answered: "No". Harry looked disappointed for some reason and went quiet. I decided that I had to ask him something. "You like Cho don't you?" Harry looked up at me and forced a smile. "Yeah, I think so" he replied. I was a little hurt even though I knew it was true before.
"Well, I think I'll go to bed" Harry told me. He got up, smiled at me and left the room. I sat in my chair and bowed my head. I knew Harry would never like me, I only wished he did…
