Ginny's eyes filled with tears as he broke the news to her in a quiet corridor.
He was never very good at acting smooth around girls, it was something he definitely needed to improve on.
Being with Ginny had helped a great deal though.
He loved her, he really did. But when he looked at her he didn't feel like how he felt when he looked at Luna.
When he saw Ginny he saw a sweet, pretty and funny girl. But he also saw Ron's sister, a girl who was practically his sister too.
He looked upon Ginny with a brotherly love more than anything else, and he decided the fondness he felt for her was almost the same Ron felt for her.
But when he had kissed her, it had been like he was kissing Hermione. And he would definitely never think of Hermione as anything in the romance direction – she was practically his sister. So what did that mean?
Probably that Ginny was more like a sister to him than anything else.
It was a shame he had taken so long to realise this, he decided. It wasn't fair on Ginny.
"Ginny, I, I don't know what to say. I love you, but not like this." His voice was faltering, he wasn't sounding as confident as he would have liked.
She shook her head. "Harry, don't do this. Please?"
"I have to Ginny, there's no other way."
Her warm brown eyes bore into his own.
"Is there anything I can do to make you change your mind?" She asked desperately.
Harry frowned, his eyebrows knotting together in the middle.
"I'm really sorry. You don't need to be upset though Gin, you can do way better than me. Look at you, you're beautiful. And smart, and funny. And me, I'm just,"
"You're just wonderful. I will never do better than you. Ever."
"Aw come on now, you know that is not true."
He leant down and kissed her on the top of her head.
"Are you really sure you want to do this?" Ginny asked.
"I don't want to, because I don't want to hurt you. But I need to."
"Ok Harry. As long as we can be friends."
A tear slid down her cheek, it was so unbearable to see her like this, and know her suffering was his fault.
"Of course we can be bloody friends. I will always love you Ginny."
Ginny nodded. "Me too Harry. I hope you're happy with Luna."
He froze. How did she know? There was no way she could.
Then again, Ginny did know him better than anyone.
He couldn't lie to her and deny it, so he said nothing.
She reached up and let her lips become one with his for the last time.
Their final kiss.
Even Ginny couldn't deny the lack of spark she had once felt – or the way Harry's kissing was non-responsive and awkward with her unlike it used to be.
"Bye, Harry."
Any doubt of whether he was doing the right thing vanished. Ginny would never be more than a friend to him again. She would understand that too, one day.
And at that she walked away.
A tiny bubble of sadness rose in his chest, but he pushed it away at the thought of the blonde haired girl with the radish earrings.
He loved Luna, and only Luna - he could see that now.
Only problem was - ever since the days when he had been so stupidly oblivious of Luna's charm and she had been forced to resort to a make over - so did lots of other people.
Including the one person who had always been Luna's second choice after Harry – and who was possibly now her first – Neville Longbottom.
Who would Luna choose?
Harry wasn't sure.
But he was sure that no matter what, he would win her back.
