Disclaimer: This story uses the song, "I will survive" By Gloria Gaynor
"Ginny, just let him go! You're becoming obsessed! Harry is just a boy and he doesn't like you that way. There is someone out there for you but not Harry. You are just a friend to him."
Hermione's words were harsh but Ginny needed to hear them. She was becoming so preoccupied with Harry that her grades were getting steadily lower. He was all she thought about.
"You're right, Hermione. Maybe I'm getting a little over the top. Harry is just a person." Ginny's face started to redden from being so pathetic that she needed to have this conversation. "I think that I need to go take a walk and clear my head. I'll be back later."
Ginny quickly left her dormitory with Hermione still sitting on her bed. She didn't look at anyone in the common room though it was quite full. As she was running to the portrait hole whom else should she bump into but Harry Potter, her crush.
"Hello Ginny!" said Harry cheerfully.
Ginny looked up at Harry. He was a little taller than she was but just as skinny, with those gorgeous, bright green eyes. She felt tears coming to her and quickly pushed through to the portrait hole. She didn't want Harry to see her crying. She just wanted to be with him. But that will never happen, she told herself, wiping away tears. He just doesn't like me that way.
She reached the front doors and bustled through them and onto the grounds. Walking over to the lake, she sat down and watched the giant squid lazily swimming in circles.
Hermione really is right. I need to get over him and move on. Harry can just be my really good friend. I can survive without him.
Even thinking that last sentence was hard. Could she really survive without loving Harry? She had loved him ever since he came to the Burrow right before she started her first year at Hogwarts. That was three years ago. Loving him had become a part of her life. But she knew that she had to move on.
I can survive without loving him, she thought.
"First I was afraid I was petrified! Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along!"
Yes! This was the perfect song to get Ginny's spirits up about Harry. Whenever Ginny felt down, she tried to sing. It usually made her feel better.
"Go on now go! Walk out that door. Just turn around now, Cause you're not welcome anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbyes? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?"
Ginny stood up. She was gaining her confidence back. She could survive without Harry.
"Oh no not I! I will survive! Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'm still alive. I've got all my life to live, And I've got all my love to give, I'll survive, I will survive
Hey Hey!"
"It took all the strength I had not to fall apart. Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart. And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself, I used to cry But now I hold my head up high."
Ginny was really starting to feel better. It was all starting to make sense. Her and Harry would just be really good friends and if he happened to like her along the way, Great! Just as she was putting more thought into this idea, Professor Sprout came walking out of Greenhouse 3 and Ginny decided that it was time to go back in the castle.
THE END
