Author's Note:
Finally, a new story! I hope all you Potterhead's out there enjoy it, unlike my last story, I see this one going somewhere. Just to let you know, It's only been a month or two since Sirius died, and Harry is still depressed about it, and Ron and Hermione aren't dating, not yet at least. ;)
"All the pain I thought I knew,
All the thoughts lead back to you.
Back to what was never said.
Back and forth inside my head.
I cant handle this confusion.
I'm unable; come and take me away."
- Take Me Away by Avril Lavigne.
Ginny was sitting by the Astronomy Tower, one of the tallest tower's in Hogwarts. She just needed to be alone, get her thoughts straightened out. She was only 15 years old, girls at this age shouldn't be feeling like this, should they? It's a problem. A problem that she never got over, a problem since her first year. And her brother had to best friends with him, so the problem was always there. The problem was Harry. Harry Potter. The Chosen One, the most famous boy in school, and he barely noticed her. She was in love with him for as long as she could remember, and that haughty Cho Change, Miss Perfect. She never understood what Harry saw in her, they had nothing in common, and it was no secret that she was in it for the fame Harry had. Harry likes Quidditch, not like, he loves it, I guess Cho did to, but she fell off her broom once and was scared to ride again. Harry had bravery, Cho was a snitch. Harry was kind to people he didn't know, Cho was snobby. Cho was simply pretty, she had nice, long, jet-black silky hair (that she liked to flip at me when im by and she's with Harry). It doesn't bother me, because I know that Harry cant stand it. But her personality…is just disgusting. She's haughty.
"Ugh!" Ginny said, while kicking a rock out of her way. She was so worried and stressed about it, when she even shouldn't. So what if Harry and Cho were dating, it didn't mean it'd last forever, right? Hermione told her that she has all the qualities that Harry wanted in a girl, but was only mesmerized by Cho's looks. It didn't make her feel wonderful, but it sure helped.
She was proud to call Hermione a friend, she actually told her all of the feelings she felt. Ginny always went to her mother with problems, and now that she's not here and owls take too long, she had Hermione, she considered her a big sister. She confided in Hermione more than she has to anyone before, it's like once the words start flowing, they don't stop until everything is out. Hermione's advice was actually good, and worked most the time, and not only that she knew Harry better than anyone besides Ron.
Ginny was starting to feel achy. Maybe it was because it was getting a bit chilly up there, but she didn't want to move. When she thought about it, she would be okay if she just froze to death, no more Harry, no more Cho, no more drama. But she could never to that to her family, especially her mother. Why couldn't she just let Harry go? Why? What was wrong with her? She was just tired of it. With a sigh, she got up, brushed off her skirt, and started down the stairs, back towards the Gryffindor common room. Ever since her arrival at Hogwarts, she was always fascinated by it's beauty, even the staircases were beautiful.
She was now walking across the grounds, the damp grass from it's earlier down pour. Off in the distance, she heard voices, one was a girl, laughing and another was a boy, laughing also. She thought to herself, Wouldn't it be funny if it was Cho and Har-
Her thoughts were caught off when she saw them, Harry and Cho. Of course! As if her mind wasn't depressed enough about thinking about it, but now she has to see it.
She looked straight ahead, and walked right past them, feeling surprisingly proud she had the power to do so.
"Uh, hey…Ginny." Harry said, which earned a nudge in the ribs by Cho.
"Hello, Harry." She turned her head, giving him an amazing smile, while still walking until out of sight. But just faintly in the background she could hear,
"Harry! Why did say hello to her? Do you even know her?"
"Of course I know her, I like to think of her as a friend, Cho."
Ginny just shook her head and laughed silently to herself. Cho was being ridiculous, like Harry would fall for her. That was the first time he ever confirmed them as anything. Friends. Friends. Friends! I guess friends was better than nothing. But that was going to change, she was going to talk to him more, get his attention, get to know him on a more personal level. Ginny wanted to know everything about him, and just had hope that he would want to get to know her the way she wanted to know him.
She finally made it up to the Gryffindor common room, Ron and Hermione were the only ones there, Hermione seemed to be helping Ron with some homework.
"Hello." Ginny said brightly. They looked up and bother gave her warm smiles.
"Hello, Ginny." Hermione said warmly.
"Hey Gin." Ron said and went back to his homework.
Ginny, still smiling, went towards the stairs to the girls room when Hermione said:
"What's got you all smiles?"
"Oh…nothing, I'll see you later, goodnight."
And with that, she went up the stairs, still smiling, and feeling unbelievably proud of the way she act earlier, went into her bed, and went to sleep. Only to dream of a great dream, were her and Harry were married, lived in a nice home, had children, and just lived happy. But each morning when she woke up, she was depressed, because it wasn't reality, and it most likely would never be reality.
