Harry could see the clouds looming over the horizon, coming closer by the second. He would have to move soon if he wanted to make it back to the castle before the storm came, but he was mesmerised, the dark grey, almost black of the clouds, seeming to spread as far as his eyes could see, moving closer with every passing moment. He couldn't bring himself to leave the owlery, even though he knew he would be stuck here when the storm came, Harry didn't want to return to the school at the moment.
Things were changing, at a rate so rapid that it was scaring him. His tight group of friends, with Ron and Hermione was falling apart, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. Ron could see nothing wrong with what he was doing, as far as he was concerned it was Hermione's own fault that he was with Lavender. Ron hadn't said this, but Harry knew that was what he was thinking. And Hermione, well she just pretended that Ron wasn't there most of the time, especially when they were all in the same room. Harry just wanted it to go back to the way it was.
Then there was the thing that happened whenever Ginny was around, the clenching in his stomach, the rapid heart-rate, and the fact that all noise seemed to fade away, and all he could hear was her. Harry had never felt this way before, unless you count Cho. The only other girl he had ever fancied. He still couldn't quite understand how that had all gone belly up, but it had, and it was done. Nothing could be done to change it.
Sometimes he wondered what could be done to change it, make it all back again, maybe if he had a chance to change it, fix it all, would he? Did he really want to be with Cho? For some time there it was all he could think about, then she said she had a date to the ball, and it seemed all over. Cho had Cedric, what would she want with little Harry? Then Cedric was gone, and they got closer, it seemed that this was his time, his chance with Cho. And then it turned sour, misunderstandings and their own foolish tempers had come between them.
Time to let it go. Harry knew what was done was done, she had moved on, he had moved on somewhat.
Time for a new beginning.
