A Love Grown Apart
Ch.4- Disaster at Diagon Alley
Ginny couldn't sleep that night. She knew Harry was taken but she couldn't resist trying to make him fall for her again. Sure, she was still going out with Jake but she had been thinking about breaking up for a while.
She dressed carefully and put on a white mini skirt and a yellow top. Finally she apparated into Diagon Alley where she found Harry standing on front of Florean Fortesues. (A/N I don't know how to spell it I'm going to check it then fix it)
"There you are I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to arrive." He bent down and kissed her on the cheek like he had done the day before.
"Oh, come on why wouldn't have I shown up? Besides it's barely two." Something flashed. There were suddenly yells in the air saying things like, "Harry where is Gisele?" Ginny looked around and saw about 20 people with cameras that were flashing furiously.
"Let's go," Harry whispered. Ginny followed Harry through the door where Florean was standing. The door closed behind them but they could still hear the paparazzi outside.
"I thought Florean had been dragged off and killed by Death Eaters," Ginny said surprised as she sat down on a table far from the windows.
"Nah, he was dragged off but they never got around to killing him. I finished them first," he said casually.
"Oh. Hey does Gisele know you're here? Won't she get angry when she sees us on the cover of witch weekly on Monday?"
"No she won't, we stopped reading it ages ago. But she does know that I'm with you. She actually wanted to come and meet the girl that I never stop talking about but she wasn't feeling well."
Ginny laughed, "You never stop talking about me? I find that hard to believeā¦"
"No, it's actually true. She knows a lot about you. She says you must have been a great girlfriend because I never shut up."
"Really?"
Harry nodded, "So what's Jake like? Was he the one that proposed?"
"What? Jake? No!" she said half laughing, "Who told you that?"
"Ron did. He didn't say who had proposed he just said that a bloke had popped the question and you sweetly turned him down."
"That was Alan. Jake works for the ministry and I'm sure he's not proposing anytime soon."
"Why did you turn Alan down?"
Ginny shrugged, "I don't know. I guess I just feel too young to get married. When I get married I want it to be perfect timing but first I want to enjoy my life. I want to be able to go to parties, get drunk, and flirt with every man in the room. I know that it will feel right when it's time to get married and that will help me to say yes but for now, I want to stay free."
Harry nodded in agreement. "Besides, I wasn't in love with Alan," she finished.
"Are you in love with Jake?"
"I'm not sure," she said slowly, "how are you supposed to know?"
"I guess you just know."
"Are you in love with Gisele?" Ginny asked anxiously.
He smirked, "Now why are you son interested in that?"
"Hey you were the one that asked me if I was in love Jake!" she snapped.
"How should I know? I'm a guy. Isn't that what women say? That guys never know if they're in love?" he said laughing.
"Gisele is like a guy's dream come true isn't she? She's the type of girl every man fantasizes about."
"Well depends on how you look at it. I guess physically, yeah I guess she is a guy's dream, but mentally, she is sometimes a pill." He said quietly.
" I thought you had said that she was down to earth!"
"She is, don't get me wrong she is really down to earth, but that doesn't mean she can't be a pill," he grinned, "I hope she never finds out I said that."
Ginny laughed and quickly tried to change the subject. Thinking about Gisele made her remember Harry had a girlfriend. "So how's Quidditch? I heard you guys won last week."
"Yeah, we did. It's been really good for me. I hope I can be at least one of the top five seekers in the world."
Ginny suddenly burst into a fit of giggles. She didn't know why but thinking of Harry dreaming of being the best seeker in the world made her laugh.
"You may laugh at my dreams but I dream about your laughter," he said without thinking.
Ginny stopped giggling and Harry realized what he had just said. An awkward silence fell between them. They were both wondering the same thing even if they didn't know it. 'Did I say just say that out loud?' Harry thought. 'Did he mean what he just said?' Ginny thought.
At that moment she was sure she knew why she had refused to get married. She had never stopped loving Harry and even if she knew Harry was never going to look at her she always hoped that by refusing to get married Harry would notice that she was very popular and start to notice her and, if she was lucky, he would ask her out. Now was the time. She had to tell Harry how she felt, that she loved him more than anything in the world even if Gisele was his girlfriend. It was now or never.
"Harry I--" Ginny began but at the same time another voice spoke.
"Look Neville! It's Ginny and Harry!" She turned around and saw Luna and Neville loaded with bags from shops.
"Hello." Ginny said coldly. They had just ruined the most important moment in her life.
"Hi!" said Neville cheerfully.
"What are you guys doing here?" Harry asked.
"Oh just shopping. Didn't you hear? I'm pregnant!" said Luna happily.
"Really? Congratulations!" Harry said beaming.
Luna and Neville had been married for 3 years and hadn't been able to have kids, so Harry was actually surprised.
"That's great," said Ginny after a while, "I'm so sorry guys but I forgot I have to get home and- and wait for Jake. Harry I'm sorry. Luna, Neville, congratulations. Bye!"
She gathered her things and left without another word, leaving Harry, Neville, and Luna very confused.
She walked for hours looking around Diagon Alley. She passed the twin's store but didn't go in. She finally decided to go home. Wondering what would have happened if se would have told Harry how she felt.
