Life is something that you should never take for granted. It could be taken away from you in an instant. Death doesn't care who it targets, all Death knows is that everybody, at some point, will be on his list and there's no way of escaping from it.

Ginny's fifth year was approaching, and the usual stress of exams, leaving her parents and homework was taking its toll on the young girl. She knew what to expect, after receiving an hour long speech from Hermione on how much work she was expected to do and how many hours she needed to study each week, but she only thought she was over exaggerating.

On top of all that, the news that Lord Voldemort had returned had left everybody in a constant state of worry. More and more meetings for The Order were being held each week, as more news of Muggles and Muggle born families disappearing were being plastered across The Daily Prophet.

However what worried her most was that she and Harry were becoming more distant. Obviously, it would be harder for Harry to deal with recent the up raise of the 'Dark Lord', but they were hardly speaking anymore. Whenever she did try to speak to him, he would either already in be in a hushed conversation with Ron and Hermione, or in such a foul mood you couldn't step within ten feet of him without being snapped at.

"I know he is planning something with Ron and Hermione, but why can't he talk to me as well? After all, I am his girlfriend. I'm just fed up of being ignored, it's like I no longer exist in his world anymore." She thought glumly, whilst pushing her food around on her plate.

Ginny was recovering well from her anorexia and bulimia, but was finding it difficult. Occasionally, something would happen which would make her want to relapse, but Harry would always pull her through and support her all the way.

However, the past few weeks, everybody was so busy about something or another, Ginny's insecurities just kept building on top of each other. She knew that it wasn't healthy thinking that way, but she couldn't help it. Even though she had reached and sustained a healthy weight, and was finally learning to accept that she was beautiful the way she was, she still had a long way to go.

Due to the recent happenings, her appetite had decreased and she had lost a little bit of weight,

"Thankfully it's not that noticeable, the last thing I want is for people to worry about me again. I want that stage in my life to be in the past."

"Ginny dear, hurry up and finish your dinner, the Order are having another meeting tonight so you'll need to go into your room." Mrs. Weasley told her kindly, at the same time she was magically washing everybody else's dishes.

"Sure." Stuffing one last forkful of chicken into her mouth, Ginny stood up and gave her Mum the rest of her unfinished meal.

"Is that all your having, are you sure you don't want anymore?" Questioned Mrs. Weasley.

"No, I'm fine. I think I'll just go to sleep early tonight, I'm really tired" Ginny stated, kissing her Mum gently on the cheek, before turning around and heading towards the stairs.

Once outside her door, she heard a quiet cough before a small voice spoke.

"Ginny, Erm can I speak to you for a minute?" It was Harry.

"What's wrong?" Ginny asked slightly panicked at the tone of Harry's voice. Something wasn't right.

Ginny indicated for Harry to follow her into her room, and closed the door once he had entered. His shoulders were slouched and it looked like he hadn't had any sleep in awhile. All Ginny wanted to do was to hug him and tell him everything will be ok, like he had done to her many times before.

"Ginny, listen…" He started.

"This isn't good. Anything that starts with those words can never be a good thing."

"I can't be involved with you anymore. We've got to stop seeing each other. We can't be together." He said quietly.

Ginny couldn't speak, move nor breathe. Shock had left her immobilised.

"No, this can't be happening, not now." She pleaded mentally.

"Voldemort is using people that his enemies are close to. He's already used you as bait once, and that was just because you're my best friend's sister. Think how much danger you'll be in if we keep this up. He'll know, he'll find out. He'll try and get to me through you."

Her heart felt like it had been ripped out of her chest and had a stake stabbed through it. Multiple times. Staring into his bright emerald eyes, she felt the warm tears slowly begin to form behind her own. Determined not to let them fall, she looked up at the ceiling.

"I understand." She lied, if she was going to be honest she would have told him that he was being ridiculous and that they had to stay and fight together during these hard times. But she didn't ant to hurt his feelings.

"I don't want this to happen Gin, honestly I don't. It's just that I don't want to see you hurt."

"You're hurting me by doing this." She wanted to say, but the words wouldn't leave her mouth.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

With that, Harry slowly walked out of the door, closing it behind him. Ginny was stuck to the spot, still unable to breathe, her vision became blurry and she began to sway slightly.

"This is just a nightmare, it can't be true. I won't believe it; Harry would never hurt me like that."

However, as time went on, realisation slowly began to hit home and she fell on her knees, tears now pouring out of her eyes.

"It's all my fault."
