A.N: My first ever fan fiction, please please please read and review.


"Eat some more, you look starved," Harry said studying Ginny's tired eyes and her hollow cheeks with concern.

"I'm fine," she muttered, poking the food around on her plate but not eating any. "Rough day?" Harry asked smoothly, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"Just the usual," trying hard not to flinch away from his hand, Ginny asked "are you done with your dinner? Can we go home?"

"You haven't eaten anything at all," Harry said with worry in his voice and then smiled slowly "try to eat a little and we can take a small stroll along the road".

"I am not in the mood Harry, I am sorry," Ginny hoped she didn't hurt him too much. If Harry was hurt, he didn't show it. "Alright," he said with forced patience "eat some more and I will drop you home".

"I am not a kid, I can find my way home," Ginny said finally snapping.

Harry looked stung by her words, but still tried to speak softly keeping his raising temper in check. "You look awfully tired and you didn't eat a proper meal in days. Please Ginny you can't go on like this."

Ginny had had enough. It was already a rough day at practice and Harry hovering over her like she was a five year old only made matters worse. "I've got to go, I'll see you tomorrow" she jerked up from the chair and took a few steps before Harry caught up with her. He tugged at the elbow stopping her and turned her to face him. "Can you please explain me what the hell is this all about?" Harry asked his temper flaring. "Why are you suddenly behaving so stupidly?"

Ginny exploded to that, "you are the one who's behaving stupidly. You don't have to get overly concerned. I don't need it Harry, I can take care of myself. I am not a kid."

"I am just trying to be nice to you alright? I understand you've had a long day, but you are not the only one who is working your brains off. I never showed my work stress on you. Even when I am very busy, I try to maintain my timings according to your convenience. I come and meet you every time you want me to, I put up with all your moods, all your temper tantrums and you just.. show attitude? You know what Ginny I think you take me too much for granted" Harry finished indignantly.

Ginny looked stricken. She couldn't say anything for a few minutes, just stood there speechless, staring at him with disbelief. "You put up with me?" Ginny asked in a whisper. Harry was alarmed by the look on her face. Tears slowly started forming in her eyes.

"Ginny….. I didn't…. I don't mean….." Harry spluttered.

But Ginny stopped him raising a hand, "did you say you put up with me?" she repeated barely controlling the anger in her voice "all these days, all this time we've been dating you didn't enjoy my company, you just put up with me?"

"No Ginny, it's not like..."

"And all this time I've been thinking, I never even realized," she spoke more to herself than to him.

"Ginny," Harry pleaded once again "I didn't mean like that, I am sorry, please listen to me".

Ginny blinked a few times and it was almost after a complete minute she faced Harry with a look of forced determination "this is not working Harry," Ginny said with deliberate calmness "I don't want to be in a relationship as vague as this. We don't even know how the other person feels."

"Please Ginny let's talk it out, let's settle this," Harry once again pleaded "you can't do this to me," he finished a little desperately.

Ginny laughed without any humour, "Why? Is it something about 'you-cannot-ditch-the-famous-Harry-Potter thing'?"

Temper flared in Harry to a boiling point at this "you know what," he said thickly after a few moments "You are right, this is not working, this will never work. You are so full of yourself; I cannot be your toy anymore playing along with your moods all the time." With that Harry turned around leaving Ginny staring after him.

Ron and Hermione watched open mouthed the entire time while Harry and Ginny argued. All four of them meeting once in a week and having dinner together had become a common practice recently.

After the battle, Harry, Ron and Hermione went back to school to finish their final year finishing school along with their new classmates including Ginny. When Harry and Ron were offered Auror positions by Kingsley Shacklebolt, the now Minister for Magic, Harry accepted the offer eagerly, while Ron declined politely saying he had had enough to do with dark magic to last his entire life.

Ron helped George in the shop, the Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and Hermione continued her research in developing S.P.E.W (Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare) as a strong case and planned to submit it to the Wizengamot.

Ginny was recruited by Holyhead Harpies, the all-women Quidditch team and had already started practice for her first professional match. Ginny and Harry had resumed their relationship in their final year of school and so did Ron and Hermione. After school everybody had become busy with their lives, so they made it a point to meet at least once a week.

Hermione watched intently as Harry came back and sat across her looking aggrieved. He glared at his partly empty plate with such intensity that it seemed like he was trying to set the plate on fire. "Don't you dare to give me another one of your lectures on understanding girls and their psychopathic behaviours" Harry snapped at Hermione when he realized she was staring at him. Hermione merely shrugged and started picking at her plate.

"Wu wass zah all aou?" Ron asked his mouth full of food.

"Ron, can you please speak human?" Hermione said with a look of disgust at him.

Ron finally managed to swallow all the food he had stuffed in his mouth and asked "what was that all about?"

"Ginny's gone mental,"Harry barked.

"Oi! It's my baby sister you are talking about,"Ron said warningly.

Harry stood up his frustration running high, "Well Ron, thanks for pointing out the obvious but, your baby sister has gone completely mental,"and before either of them could say anything he muttered a goodbye walking away as fast as he could manage in his boiling anger.

"What is wrong with him?" Ron asked bewildered.

"Ron", Hermione said exasperated, "they both had a row and Harry is really upset. I get it you don't use your brain, but you can at least use your eyes sometimes."
