Disclaimer: I do not own it.
A/N: Really, I have no idea why the last chapter was so important to me. But it got comments, which made me happy. So this is chapter 10. I feel like this story has been going painfully slow, but if I sped it up at all then the final outcome will be something totally different than what I am now planning it to be. Everyone will come together in the end, all random character's thoughts will not be so random in the end.
x2: Sorry for the wait, I just have been really busy. And I needed to find the right awy to approach this one.
Ginny Weasley was growing bored.
She had been sitting in the library for almost an hour now, doing her homework. It felt like she had been sitting there for weeks. And in a way she had been, she almost always did her homework in the library lately. She couldn't help hoping to see him there again. But that hope dissapeared with the weeks, and was replaced by boredom.
Ginny was a sociable person. The library was a place of solitude. The two did not mix well. And the library was so quiet. Ginny got used to the silence of the library over time, but today it was annoying her for some reason. And there were so many books! You could get lost in this place looking for the book you want, that cannot be safe.
Ginny was mad. Mad at the books on the shelves. Mad at the high ceilings. Mad at this annoying silence. And above all, she was mad at Blaise Zabini.
Blaise Zabini? Ginny didn't know where that thought came from. But the more she did think about it, the more sense it made. He was the one who made the library so enjoyable. She would've never spent so much time doing her homework here if it wasn't for him. He shouldn't have just used her like that. He should've said something, before and after he kissed her. And he shouldn't have avoided her after. Ginny became furious.
But then again, he never really told her that he would meet her here. He never told her he would talk to her, or even kiss her again. She just hoped for it. He was the reason that she spent her days here, but it really wasn't his fault. Maybe she was just a bad kisser? Was that it? She would just die if that was the reason. Wait a minute, what was she thinking? How could she be thinking such shallow thoughts? She snapped out of her thoughts, and looked around the library again, feeling like she was seeing it for the first time. They were just a bunch of books, but these books have seen a side of her that Ginny didn't even realise she had until now.
She had been selfish. But when did this selfish part of her start, exactly? Thinking back, she started thinking only of herself some time after she dumped Michael. Ginny felt ashamed. She decided she needed to apologise to him. And also to Dean, for using him the way that she did. And to her friends, because she ditched them for a boring library when they were putting up with her selfishness.
Ginny collected her homework and quill and started to walk out of the library, mentally adding to the list of people she needed to apologise to. If she wrote the list down, it would be at least half a foot long by now. And it was still growing. If she didn't start now there was no way she would finish by the end of the year.
When she walked into the library, she was bored. When she walked out of the library, she had a greater understanding of who she was than she has ever had. She knew who she was, and she wanted to make that person better. Because the old her wouldn't have been friends with her now, and she decided that was something to be ashamed of.
Ginny was so deep into her thoughts that she didn't even realise that she was about to bump into someone, until it was too late.
A/N: Sorry, it wasn't a strong ending. Or a long chapter, usually Ginny's POV is the longest. But it really needed to be written. And sorry for the cliffhanger, which origionally was going to be a cliffhanger, then it wasn't. And now it is, because thats what happens in the editing stage.
