Okay so was anyone else disappointed with the HBP. I was very sad. They didn't even establish that Harry and Ginny were dating! They didn't even show that they broke up! And the fight scene lasted like, what? Two minutes? But I guess as far as Harry Potter movies go it wasn't too bad. I miss the old director. David Yates is :P

Jane: I understand but that really wouldn't have very much of a plot to it. The story has to have conflict. But I think your going to like what happens in the end. I hope you keep reading.

Okay I keep forgetting my disclaimers. So I will say this one time and one time only.

I DON'T OWN HARRY POTTER. If I forget my disclaimer it's because I'm stupid that way. Not because I some how bought Harry Potter from JK Rowling..... which I don't think people could even do. I don't know. I'm starting to ramble so let's just get on with the chapter.

"Here, this one's free." Ginny said pulling open the door to a compartment on the train. She placed her trunk on the rack and then took a seat. She was a little surprised when she saw Ron offer to put Hermione's up for her.

"Thank you, Ron" Hermione said she looked down to try and cover the blush on her cheeks. She looked at Ginny and the smirk on her face told Hermione that she noticed it.

Ron and Hermione took the seats across from Ginny. It was Christmas break. Ginny was both irritated and happy about it. Happy because she would get to see her family and because Hermione was staying with them. She had decided to skip out on going skiing with her parents so Mrs. Weasley had invited her to spend the holidays with them. She was irritated because her mother also invited Harry. Even though she was devastated to hear about the break up between her daughter and Harry she still considered him part of her family so she invited him. This meant that not only would Ginny have to be around Harry but her mother would constantly be trying to get them back together.

They waited several minutes then Ginny heard the whistle blow and she felt the train begin to move. She stared out the window, deep in thought.

After he the incident with Harry yesterday Ginny had tried to find Hermione. The first place she looked was the library and she wasn't too surprised to find out she had guessed right. Hermione was sitting at a table that was practically swarming with books. Unfortunately she hadn't gotten to talk to her because the moment she said that she had something she needed to tell Hermione, Ron had walked in. She swears her brother has the worst timing in the world.

Another opportunity to talk to Hermione alone didn't rise from then to when they got on this train. So she would just have to wait until they got to the Burrow. She really wasn't happy about having to spend her Christmas break with Harry but on the plus side, at least Romilda wasn't going to be there. A smile came across Ginny's face.

"Gin!" Hermione said, snapping her fingers in front of Ginny's face. Ginny was pulled from her thoughts and gave Hermione her attention.

"What?" she asked. It was then that she noticed Ron had left the compartment. "Where did Ron go?"

"Oh he went to go hunt down the trolley." She said with a small smile. "Listen I really need to talk to you. I think I might be well on my way to figuring out what's wrong with Harry."

"What do you mean?" Ginny asked. Wrong with him? What could be wrong with him?

"I mean I might know why he broke up with you."

Ginny sighed, "Hermione we know why he did it. He said it himself, he doesn't want to be with me anymore."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "Ginny, Harry was completely in love with you. And if you honestly believe he broke it off with you just because he woke up one morning and said "You know what, I'm sick of her." Then you clearly are not as smart as I thought."

Ginny said nothing. She just folded her arms and looked back out the window.

Hermione went on. "Gin look I think Romilda might have given Harry some sort of potion. I-"

She stopped talking because Ron had walked back in the compartment, carrying an armful of sweets. He sat down and started up a conversation with Hermione.

However, Hermione had gotten Ginny's attention. She had to admit it was odd. One day Harry loves her then the next day he's in love with someone else he had barley ever spoken to, just like that. She tried to crush the tiny piece of hope that had risen inside her, telling her that maybe Hermione was right. She tried to ignore it. Wasn't she supposed to try and get over him? She knew that her "date" with Dean hadn't exactly gone great but she felt like she was actually making a tiny bit of progress in getting over him. Was she really going to toss that away just because Hermione says that Harry might actually be in love with her still?

It was ridiculous to even consider it. She knew the risks she would be taking if Hermione was wrong. She would have to start the process all over again. This time it may actually take longer. She would get hurt again, she would probably cry over Harry Potter again, and she would have to deal with the reality that her and Harry were permanently over. Is this tiny chance really worth all that pain she would have to endure if they were wrong? Is Harry worth all that pain?

It took her less than a second to know her answer. 'Yes. Yes, he is.'

Okay I noticed a lot of you guys want the Butterbeer recipe. I will call my friend and ask her (I just tried and she isn't answering her phone) but no worries I'll give it to you. How? I don't know yet. But I will. It's SOOOO yummy. :)

I know this chapter was oober short but I'm posting two chapters so the other one should be up in a matter of minutes. I end chapters based on stopping points, that's why some of them are so dang short. Please R&R. ;)
