She will chase you around for a while,
But there's going to be a day when
She's going to stop running
In circles around you
She's going to get over you and
At that very moment
You're going to wish
You had let her
Catch you'
~
'We better get going' Harry said looking hopeful
'No Harry' Joseph laughed. 'Don't be a party pooper!'
'No I have too, lady at home to please'
'Yeah and I have an early start in the morning' Hermione stood up, and reached for her bag that was on the other side of musty table.
'Fine, but you're missing out-'
'On a great night' Harry finished for him
'Yep'
'I really have to go' He smiled. 'I'll see you at training'
'Fine' He laughed again. 'See ya'
'Yeah' Hermione quickly hugged him. 'Coming Ron?'
'Sure'
~
'Do you want a coffee or anything before you head home mate?' Ron said from the kitchen.
'No, I really should be going' He smiled slightly
'If you're sure'
'Why wouldn't I be?' Harry said a little bit too harshly
'I didn't mean it like that' Ron said blankly as he popped his head round the corner.
'I know, sorry' He shook his head
'Long Day'
'Just a little' He sighed. 'Not enough sleep, all Cho ever wants to do is-'
'Mate I know your tired and all but I do not need to know what you two get up to' Ron cut in uneasily
'Right'
'But really how much shagging does a girl need'
'Not as much as you think' Harry said knowingly. 'Except for ones like her'

'Ginny' Hermione spoke into the silent room. 'Ginny?' She flicked her wand and room lit up instantly
She noticed a piece of paper sitting on the small dining room table, neatly folded with her name clearly written on the top.
Mione
I didn't know if I was ready to tell you before
that I was actually due to leave tonight,
obviously I wasn't, and it seems so stupid now.
Sorry.
I left my key on the bench as well as this months rent.
I just need to get out of here, start a fresh, you know?
Write when you can
Xo
Ginny
P.S: hope you had a good night
~
The air was cold, and the rain had just started to fall, which was a good thing really as it started to make a façade upon her face to hide the tears on her cheeks. Her red hair was pulled tightly in a pony tail covered by the hoddy she had thrown over it as she made her way down the empty street.
She remembered the last time it had rained and she had walked down this very street;
The Night Harry had gone on his first date with Cho Chang.
The same day she had lost the baby.
But this time she didn't know why she wanted to see her brother so desperately, she didn't have a good reason, maybe she just wanted to say goodbye.
~
Harry shut the door gently and stepped into the quiet rain, and made his way down the garden path away from the small house. He kicked his way through the small puddles beginning to form as the rain grew stronger.
He saw a dark figure moving slowly towards him, staring at the ground. He moved towards the left to let the person past but as he walked through the light of the street lamp, the person looked up, then looked away fast, but not fast enough.
'Ginny' He spoke softly
She stopped and looked at him. Silent
'Your bag is open'
'Shit' She muttered, digging around in the wet bag to find her wand, but Harry had his already in hand and quickly waved it.
'That's a lot of stuff to be carrying round'
She shrugged
'You really are leaving, aren't you?'
'Yeah' She closed her eyes and turned. 'I should go…'
'Gin'
She looked over her shoulder.
'Have a good one'
'Yeah' But he tugged at her hand, she looked into his eyes, they were not the same as they had been a few hours ago, not angry. He kissed her cheek softly before running down the soaked street.
~
'Bye' she whispered
~
'Harry!' Cho snapped. 'Where have you been, and why the hell are you drenched?'
'I said I was going out, and it was raining' He said bored.
'Harry, its almost-'
'Eleven' He felt his temper rising. 'Just drop it'
'I'm your fiancé Harry'
'Then start acting like it'
'Excuse me!'
'Cho every time I go out with my friends, you have a problem with it' He breathed. 'Sometimes I need a break'
'I understand that Harry, but your friends well they're not exactly the best'
'Well at least my friends don't choose to go to strip clubs and get drunk into the early hours of the morning'
'They're funny' Cho fired 'and they do not, it's a one off'
'What ever'
'Harry'
'No, my friends will never be rich enough or good enough right'
'It's not my fault I'm worried, you spend all your time with your ex-girlfriend who is still in love with you'
'Well you won't have to worry anymore Cho, she's left town for good'
~
'Ginny' He said confused. 'What are you doing here?'
'Ron, I'm leaving
'What' He said starting to catch on. 'Tonight'
She nodded
'Hey what's up?'
'It's nothing'
'Harry'
'No' she looked at him
'Why didn't you tell him?'
'Because Ron, I didn't know what to do' she turned away. 'I was a stupid knocked up 17 year old'
'Ginny'
'Ron, he dumped me the day I went to tell him'
'Oh'
They were both silent. 'And you lost the baby-'
'Two months later'
'How?'
Ginny looked uneasy. 'I fell down some stairs'
'Ginny you haven't fallen down stairs since you were 3' He said knowingly. 'You didn't exactly fall did you?'
She shook her head. 'Cho`

'Nothing hurts more then waiting,
Since I don't even know
What I'm waiting for
Anymore'
