Summary: Harry is cheating on Ginny? One minute he loves her the next he's making out with…..Luna? What's going on at Hogwarts? HPGW HPLL HGRW
CHAPTER 1. The Beginning….
Ginny plopped down next to Harry on a big poofy couch. It was one of her and Harry's free periods. She should've been doing her transfiguration essay, but she would much rather spend time with her boyfriend.
"Hey!" she greeted.
"Oh, Hey." Harry had been very preoccupied with his studies lately. Ginny guessed he must really want good newts. Even Hermione agreed he was a bit overboard. Ginny didn't get much time with Harry anymore. His studies, horcruxes and quidditch kept him busy. Not to mention Voldemort.
"Whatcha doin?" she asked peering over his shoulder.
"Charms," he said distractedly. She sat there quietly waiting for him. She knew if she talked to him it would just take him longer to finish and less time for the two of them to spend together.
He let out a sigh and threw his quill down.
"Hey, you wanna go find an empty classroom?" Ginny suggested.
"Sure."
"Oh…really?" Ginny asked surprised. Usually the only time he did this was on Saturdays or when he had no homework. "I mean, you don't want to finish that?" She gestured to his unfinished parchment.
Harry's eyes widened. "Ginny, you don't really think I'd take homework over you, do you? You're making me look like Hermione."
At the moment Hermione's head popped out from the portrait hole. "What?" she demanded as Harry and Ginny started laughing.
Ginny smiled. It was good to see Harry happy for once.
30 minutes later, their moods lifted from a good bit of snogging, Harry and Ginny met up with Hermione on her way to the great hall (remember, Harry and Ginny were in an empty classroom, so they can meet up w/ Hermione again).
"Where's Ron?" Harry asked.
"How should I know!" Hermione snapped.
"Uhh… uh, I dunno, I just… thought you might now.."
Hermione sighed. "I'm sorry Harry. I don't know where Ron is. If I had to guess though, I'd say he's probably off snogging dearest, Suzie."
"Suzie?"
"Susan Bones," Hermione said in a very sassy voice. "As in Ron's girlfriend.."
"Ron's GIRLFRIEND!" Harry cried, completely astonished.
"Yes…"
"Wait a minute, Susan Bones is Ron's girlfriend?"
"Yes! Where've you been Harry?" Hermione exclaimed.
"I don't know," Harry mumbled. "I guess with the horcruxes and school-"
"Well you must be out of the circuit or something," Hermione interrupted, "because I've known for ages."
"Since when are you in the circuit?" Ginny snorted joining the conversation.
Hermione scowled at her. "It doesn't matter. Ron's with Susan, Harry, I bet you anything."
"I still don't get it," Harry thought out loud.
"What?" Ginny asked him. Hermione had gotten interested in a book.
"Why would Ron want to go out with Susan Bones?"
Ginny squealed and playfully hit Harry on the shoulder "Harry! You're so mean!"
"OH!" Harry corrected himself quickly. "I meant, like, when did he start fancying her?"
Ginny shrugged. It was Ron! Would it matter whom he was going out with? Well, now that she thought of it did. She had to be at least decent looking. He refused to take Eloise Midgen to the Yule Ball. " I don't know. He probably was just desperate for a snog."
Harry shook his head. "How can he do it though? I mean we all know he loves Hermione!"
At that second Hermione jumped and turned bright red, dropping her book to the ground.
"Here, you dropped your book." a boy said handing Hermione her beloved Hogwarts, A History.
"I noticed," Hermione shot back practically ripping it from his hand. It was Colin.
"Oh, hey Colin," Harry greeted.
Colin looked over at Harry and rather than smiling and graveling at Harry's feet like usual, he narrowed his eyes and spat, "Oh. Hullo… Harry."
Harry and Ginny exchanged confused glances. Then Colin turned to Ginny.
"Oh! Hi, Ginny! How are you?"
"Umm… I'm fine," Ginny replied dully.
"So, are you thirsty?" He asked, somewhat excitedly.
"Uh.. I guess."
"Oh, well, do you want some pumpkin juice?" He held out a glass bottle, which contained a swirly gray liquid. It looked a bit chunky too.
"Are you sure that's pumpkin juice?" Hermione asked with a disgusted look on her face.
Colin blushed. "Oh… well, I, it's-"
"It's okay, Colin," Ginny said. "I'll just get some when I go inside. You know to the Great Hall." Harry covered his mouth so he wouldn't laugh.
"Oh… erm right. Bye," Colin squeaked his cheeks turning red.
Harry turned and grinned at Ginny. "Well, isn't that cute!"
"What?"
"He likes you!"
"What?" Ginny cried. "No way. More like you! I swear, that kid is gay. I mean, he's nice and all, but he's obsessed with you."
"Yeah, sure, that's why he was glaring at me the entire time," Harry said sarcastically. "Hey, what was that whole pumpkin juice deal?"
"I don't know," Ginny admitted truthfully. "He keeps trying to shove stuff down my throat. It's like I'm dehydrated or something.
Hermione inspected Ginny. "Well, you're eyes do look a bit red. That's a sign you know."
Ginny rolled her eyes and went off ahead of them into the Great Hall.
Hermione looked cluelessly at Harry. "What?"
Ginny rested her head on Harry's shoulder. "I couldn't sleep last night," she told him.
"Why? Was something wrong."
"Oh, no. I was just thinking about our first kiss," she sighed dreamily; disregarding Ron's gagging and coughing noises in the background.
"Oh really? I don't remember that very well." He grinned.
"Here let remind you…" She kissed him.
"UH! Eww! I'm still here, I'm still here! Get a room please! I believe I'm blinded."
Ginny groaned and whirled around. "Ron. Shut your mouth or go away."
Ron stuck at his tongue than her.
"At least some o us act our age," she scowled. Sticking out your tongue was for three-year-olds.
"At least I don't act like a… like..well-"
"Like what, Ronald?"
"Like… like a HOOKER!"
Ginny gasped, Hermione spilled her ink, a group of second-years shrieked, and Harry raised his eyebrows.
"So that's what I am now? A hooker. Just one little kiss and I'm a hooker?" Ginny roared, her face as red as her hair.
"Well, you could at least get a room!" He retorted.
"Well, that's pretty hypocritical. I don't see you and Suzy finding somewhere private. It's almost as if you want us to see you to snogging ferociously in the most public areas."
Ron blushed.
"That's what I thought. Now, if me sitting next to my boyfriend is to gruesome for your liking, than you can turn around or close your eyes."
Ron returned to his Herbology homework, but not without shooting an evil look at Ginny.
"How's it going with you two anyway?" Hermione asked curiously (she had just finished clearing away the huge ink spill).
"Fine," Ron spat in a why-do-you-care tone.
Ginny shook her head. Ever since Ron and Susan had gotten together, Ron and Hermione had been in a fight. His favorite time for a makeout session was whenever Hermione was in clear view of the scene. Hermione had taken to fawning over Zacharias Smith to make Ron jealous. Sometimes Ginny just wanted to say, "You guys love each other. You both know it, and so does everyone else. So why don't you two snog already!" But, after much thought, she decided that if it had taken them this long and they still hadn't figured it out, maybe they just weren't meant to be.
"Hey Ginny! Hey Ginny, over here!"
Ginny looked up. Colin Creevey was waving vigorously at her. "I saved you a seat." He pushed Dennis out of the seat next to him.
Ginny looked around desperately for Harry to rescue her, but he was nowhere to be found. Neither Ron nor Hermione were either.
"Where is he?" Ginny whispered to herself.
'Oh yeah. Probably looking for Horcruxes.' Yes, it was sweet that Harry loved Ginny, and wanted to protect her, but it also annoyed her. She knew exactly what was going on, but yet had no way to help.
She sighed. At least they were here. It took her weeks to convince them. They told her there was now way they were going back. But, to Ginny's excitement they suspected a horcrux to be hidden there. So with much hesitation they agreed to return for their final year of schooling. And McGonagall gave them permission to leave the castle on Saturdays for their missions. That was most likely where they were today. They had a good lead, and today was a Saturday.
"Okay," Ginny said sitting down next to him.
He was grinning from ear to ear.
"Ssso, H-how are you?" He stuttered looking very nervous.
"Oh, pretty good. I got a lot of homework from Slughorn though. Two whole rolls of parchment." She bit into a roast beef sandwich.
"Where are Harry, Ron and Hermione?" He asked looking around.
Ginny shrugged as she gulped down some milk. "Oh, I don't know. Probably just looking for some hor- BOOKS!" she practically screamed catching herself just in time. "BOOKS!"
" Horbooks?" Colin asked with a disgusted look on his face. "Ick."
"Oh, no! No! Herbology books. You misheard me." 'Wow, that was a close one,' she told herself.
"Oh," Colin said eyeing her suspiciously. "So, uh, would you like this candy bar?"
"Well, I'm not that hungry. I already ate a sandwich. Thanks though."
Colin frowned. "PLEASE!"
"Why?"
"Well… Er.. I just.. I made it myself. I wanted to know if you liked it."
Ginny smiled. "OH! That's what this is about? You want me to test out your concoctions?"
He nodded excitedly.
"Well, I-"
She was interrupted by a dripping wet Ron Weasley, who had just sat down next to her.
"What happened to you!"
"Oh, it was raining."
Colin's eyes bulged out. "It was raining in the LIBRARY!" He cried.
Ron wrinkled his nose. "No… It was raining outside. On the erm… quidditch field."
"I thought you were at the library," Ginny said forcefully through gritted teeth.
"Oh… err, yeah. I was. After I went to play quidditch."
Colin cocked eyebrow. "Right. Well, Ginny are you gonna eat it or not?"
"Well… I'm kinda on a diet, and… I don't want to be a guinea pig. I mean, what if you didn't make it right, and I end up with an elephant trunk or something!"
"Well… er.. I already tested it. And it doesn't have any calories." He waited for her reaction, but none came. "Or.. Er, carbs!" he added.
"Well… I guess maybe.. But, I'm pretty full. Maybe I'll just bring it with me."
Ron's jaw dropped. "Ginny! Are you crazy? Those are the most delicious things ever! How can you leave it untouched?"
"Oh, so Ron is the one you tested it on?"
"Um.. Sure."
"They're really good," Ron rambled on. "Only problem is they're horribly sugary and fatty, and all around bad for you. But, what candy bar isn't?"
Ginny glared at Colin. "Colin! You're a little liar! I bet you didn't even make those! Were you trying to make me fat or something?"
"What! Of course not!"
She stormed out of the great hall very flustered.
"Too bad mate," Ron said slapping him on the back. "Ooo! Hey, can I have that?" He asked pointing at the candy bar.
"Uh.. Sure.. I mean NO!" He grabbed it and ran off.
"What a nutter," Ron muttered as he turned his attention to the very yummy Roast beef sandwiches.
