It was quiet. Harry stood before me, holding the Daily Prophet out to me. On the cover it showed an animated picture of me. Kissing Lee Jordan. I stared, shocked. How did that vile woman..? I looked at Harry's face, his eyes filled with tears. I reached out to take his hand but he jerked back as though I had burned him.
"Ginny..How.. How could you do this?", He asked. My heart clenched painfully inside my chest. "Harry you can't-". I began but he cut me off. "I can't what Ginny? I can't believe the prophet? Moving pictures don't lie Ginny!", He yelled as he through the paper down on the ground. I could feel the tears build in the corners of my eyes as I once again tried to reach out and touch him. He acted as though I was trying to cast the Cruciatus Curse on him. When I looked in his eyes, the look of happiness and mischief was replaced with a betrayed expression. " I already talked to Lee, Ginny.", My heart sank. Everything was falling apart. "He told me that you said we had broken it off because I was running off with Cho. Ginny how could you do this to me? To Lee? You made both of us fall for you! Is there others Ginny? How many other blokes have you been spreading your legs for?", He seethed.
Those words were like a hex to my heart. I was drunk when I told Lee that story. But every time I tried to explain myself, something came over me, forcing me to stay with Lee. Only one person could have known.. Hermione. Multiple times she has almost caught me and Lee, so I guess she finally did and instead of telling Harry, she told Rita Skeeter.
I explained this to Harry and it seemed to make him angrier. "Something was FORCING you to stay with Lee Ginerva?! How thick do you think I am? That is the most ridiculous lie I have ever heard!", He yelled. I coward from the force in his voice, a surge of his raw power made the lamp on the nightstand explode. Soon clothes were flying through the air. I stood there, stunned as I watched Harry pack. I snapped out of it and followed Harry around the apartment, pleading with him to stay and calm down.
He ignored me and suddenly the fire roared and in walked Hermione and Ron. Ron helped Harry pack and they walked back through the flames, most likely leading to The Burrow. I walked to Hermione, screaming at her, asking her how she could do this. She turned to stare at me and I have never seen such a look of hatred in her eyes. "Because I knew you would never tell Harry the truth Ginny. I know that you knew exactly what you were doing. I have never been more disgusted with someone. You have shamed yourself. And I told Rita Skeeter so everyone could know you aren't the sweet, innocent girl everyone, including myself, believed you too. Your parents are in shock. They are disgusted with your behavior along with your brothers. You are no longer allowed at the Burrow. Goodbye Ginerva.", Hermione said sharply as she disappeared in the fire.
I watched Harry pick up his wand. He looked back at me and I felt myself falling apart as a dry sob erupted from my throat. "Harry..please..Don't leave me.", I sobbed. I saw his eyes go hard and I heard him speak, "Goodbye Ginny. Have a nice life.", before he disappeared and the flames vanished.
I fell to my knees and screamed, letting it all out. The man I truly loved just walked out of my life. I clawed at the ground, pulled at my hair, screamed till my throat was raw. I cried and sobbed till I had nothing left. I just lost everything I ever loved, forever.
And it was all my fault.
