Characters are JKRs, I just like to toy with the characters
Ginny walks through the door, looks at me and puts her nose up in the air. I guess she's still mad at me. It's ok though, because I really don't feel like talking to her at the moment. I feel kind of guilty about kissing Hermione. "It was only a peck, that's almost nothing." my mind tells me, "No it wasn't even what it was... it was a... a friend kiss. That's right a friend kiss." Although I think this way... I don't think my mind is totally convinced.
Ginny comes rushing back into the room with her face glowing and her beautiful wide smile. "You started it!" she exclaims, "It looks wonderful!" She rushes up to me and plants sweet, fluttery kisses all over my face.
"I guess your not made at me anymore." I say.
"Nope." she giggles as she sits on my lap, "The room is fantastic!"
"I'm glad you like it." I state, "I don't feel very well though, Sweetheart, so I'm going to head off to bed for a little nap before dinner... perhaps I'll feel better by then."
Ginny looks at me with concern, "Oh. Ok then." she says sounding disappointed.
I plant a small emotionless, kiss on her cheek and I head up to our bedroom. I collapse our bed and I lay there staring at the ceiling. I'm so confused, I don't know what to think or what to do. I ponder if I should tell Ginny what happened, but it seems so insignifcant, and not worth a big fight... I guess my guilt is punishment enough, and I settle with that thought.
Slowly I feel my eye lids growing heavy and I close them, before I know it, I am asleep. I wake up to find Ginny peacefully sleeping beside me, slowly I turn my head to face the clock, it reads 4:30am.
"Wow, I was asleep for a long time." I whisper to myself.
I quietly get dressed and decend the stairs into foyer. I unlock the door and leave to the shed in our vast backyard. I take out my trusty Firebolt and fly. I don't know where I want to go, but flying always seems to make me feel better. The air is brisk and there is a slight drizzle this morning. I fly faster and faster up into the sky, early morning rain drops hit my face making both my face and hands freezing cold. Although I feel cold, I feel refreshed. The sun was raising slowly, some light reaching though the thick clouds. I sigh as I think, "The best time to fly is most definately the morning."
The position of the sun tells me it's time to head back home. I race full speed down to the surface, my heart beats a mile a minute with the thrill of the speed and risk of hiting the surface at this speed. I stop just in time and carry my Firebolt back to the shed. My robes are soaked through and I am very cold, but I feel refreashed... almost cleansed.
I enter my house. Ginny is searching frantically through the cupboards. "You!" she hollers.
"Oh shit!" I think, "She knows!"
"You used up the last of the honey!" she sobs, "How am I suppose to eat my pickles now! You know I can't eat them without honey!"
"I'll run over to the store and get some." I answer hastly.
Ginny continues to cry.
"Ginny sure has had some weird cravings since the pregnancy." I think, "Honey and pickles... disgusting." I shudder at the thought.
I go to a nearby muggle grocery store and purchase some honey. I appearate back home... well after I found a secluded place out of Muggle views, of coarse.
I quickly hand the jar of honey to Ginny, and run upstairs to get changed for work. I run back down the stairs, Ginny is happily dribbling honey on her plate of pickles. I shudder. "Bye Gin." I say and I leave without a kiss or response.
I appearate to the Ministry of Magic, and walk to my lonely office and continue my vast amount of paper work. Who would have thought being an Aurour ment you had to do this much paper work? It sounded more fun when I was in Hogwarts... on occassion I have to stop dark wizards from crimes, but for the most part a lot of it has stopped since the ending of the war.
Suddenly a knock on the door disturbs my concentration. I turn my head and there... standing in the doorway is Hermione, she works on another floor here. So I was really shocked to see her, specially with a tear stained face.
"Her...Hermione!" I exclaim, "What's wrong?"
"Ron and I had another fight." she wailed.
"What did he do now?" I ask exahasperally.
She just shook her head. "He's all mad because I don't want to quit my job and start a family. He says it's my duty as his wife to be a wife and a mother, he wants me to be just like his mum! He wants to have kids now and wants me to stop everything I have worked so hard to achieve within the past years. All my work on Magical Creatures Rights, everything! He wants me to end it all. All for... for him! I told him I don't want kids right now, I want them later in life, but he's had it set in his head for months! Since, well, since, Ginny found out that she was pregnant!"
"Aw, Mione, I don't know what to say..." I trail off.
"But that's not everything. I feel guilty about, well you know." she whispered.
"That was my fault Hermione. I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me." I say.
"It's ok Harry, I really didn't mind." she said, "Let's just call it a friend kiss."
I laugh, "That's what I thought last night!"
I suddenly I turn serious, "Hermione, if you want to talk about your problem with Ron in more detail... I have my lunch break at 12:30. We can go for lunch and talk then."
Hermione nodded, "Thanks, that's sounds great."
Once she leaves, I can't shake the excitment I have and I can hardly wait until 12:30 when I get to have some time to be alone with Hermione.
