Unfinished Business

Pairing: H/G
Rating: (just pretending like I get the new system) uh… T. Ok I admit it, I have no clue what that means. Whatever. I guess I'm safe whichever way; not much stuff going on, besides what's in the book…
Summary: Ginny is not satisfied with Harry's excuse for ditching her, and feels she has stuff to tell him too.
Disclaimer: JK Rowling owns everything, anything and all things inside this fic!
Warning: Continues where HBP finished, so SPOILERS!

Yes, here we have another post-HBP fic picking up from the end, clearing out H/G stuff… clearly it was very confusing for us, and we need to make our own sense of it… H/G fans around the world are now baffled, as the thing they wished for the most suddenly happened, without warning, only to… end. Huh, the H/G nation says. This is my own personal sensemaking, making a suggestion to what could have happened to clear stuff up… Because I love JK and all, but this was, I'm sure unintentionally, quite cruel to the fans. I dunno what'll happen in the 7th book, in a way I never want to because then it will be over… but I hope H/G was more than this. They deserve as much. End of rant.

This fic begins, as I have said, where the story left off.

And that was when Harry Potter walked away. It seemed unjust, cruel, unfair, thought Ginny, even though on her face was plastered an understanding smile. He was going to do this alone. And yet... as she looked at him, now left by the Minister and joined by Ron and Hermione, maybe he would not be. He would have them. But not her. He was afraid she would get hurt, he said. He was not afraid they would hurt Ron, or hurt Hermione? Perhaps they were already so deeply involved that it wouldn't matter whether he ditched them now... Ginny did not honestly believe she could be too important for him. That couldn't be the reason. Ron and Hermione were, she had always known, far more important to Harry than she would ever be, though she had honestly believed in these last few weeks that she was close behind on the scale of affection. Apparently she wasn't important enough for Harry to be wasting his emotions on, she thought angrily, he wanted her to forget about him and move on to make it easier for himself, not her. He never loved her, otherwise he wouldn't have cared about the odds, he would have stayed with her no matter what...

Somehow she really wanted to believe that. She thought it would be easier if she could just hate him. Not love him. This was not the way it was supposed to go, she thought sadly. Of course Dumbledore shouldn't have died... Bill shouldn't have been bitten, though Ginny had to admit it did bring out the nicer side of Fleur. And Harry... Harry shouldn't have had to lose any more people, shouldn't have to fight this war on his own, shouldn't... have to be alone.

Ginny turned her gaze away from the threesome-that-did-not-include-her-and-never-fully-had-because-duh-threesome, and allowed herself five minutes of contemplation. They would be leaving in less than an hour, leaving Hogwarts, and possibly never come back. Would Harry come back, even if it was possible? Somehow, she thought he would not.

She had made up her mind. Setting her gaze once more upon the three a little while away, she knew what she had to do. It was all or nothing.

She went over.
