Hope you enjoy this: some notes. This is my first fan fiction ever, and also my first time doing any form of creative writing in agesss so I know it's written badly. Hope u enjoy, and the narrator (neutral person who knows like everything) is in bold. PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW!
PS: All of this is JK Rowling's characters and world, I take no credit for any of that, all I'm creating is the story.
ENJOYY!
It was 11'o clock, and Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny were sitting in the vast, colourful lounge room of the Burrow. The war finished 2 years ago, and everyone is still settling into what they want to be a normal life. Ron and Hermione have now broken up and gotten back together 4 times, and each time they say, "this time it's for good!". The last break up was 5 months ago and they've been surprisingly good ever since. Harry and Ginny have stepped into a fathering role with Teddy Lupin and they just finished rebuilding Harry's parents' home at Godrics Hollow and are planning to move in next week. While the Weasley family is still mourning the loss of Fred, they have moved into a daily routine to keep them going. Overall, life is as good as it could be in these circumstances for everyone at the Burrow.
Ginny's POV
We were sitting on circular orange couches around a small brown table.
"My turn!" shouted Ron
as he placed down a yellow three. It was me and Harry vs Ron and Hermione in wizard uno. Wizard uno is basically just regular uno but the cards will speak to you and give you advice. In short, mostly just insult you. It's tied, and the game's been going on for ages! Harry places down a yellow +2 onto Hermione.
"C'mon Harry, you don't need to keep doing that I already have 22 cards."
"I'm playing to win Hermione, I'm playing to win", said Harry.
The game went on for a while longer until I was on uno.
"please be a red, please be a red" I whispered. "IT'S A RED! ME AND GINNY WIN THE GAME!" exclaimed Harry.
"I'm going to bed" Ron said.
"What a sulk" I whispered.
He trudged up the creaky grey stairs to the sound of me and Harry playfully insulting him.
"I'm going to bed as well", said Harry soon after Ron had left. "Need to be up early tomorrow if we want to pick furniture for our house, I'm so excited babe!". Hermione snuck a look at me and mouthed, "since when did he call you babe?"
I tried to muster the same energy as Harry, but I couldn't bring myself to. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I think furniture picking is boring.
Hermione's POV
Ginny looks quite sad. I can tell it's about Harry but I'm not sure how to bring it up to her.
"Ginny, are you feeling okay?"
Nice and simple start to the conversation. Casual. Ginny mumbles something I can't hear.
"It's just us two Ginny, we're best friends and you can tell me anything you know". I look up the stair quickly to make sure Harry and Ron have left.
"Okay… I don't think I'm in love with Harry".
Woooow. OK. I mean, I guess I told her to just get out with it. I did not expect that though.
"Ok… ok, what makes you say that?"
"I guess… I think I was so caught up in being Harry Potter's girlfriend, the famous boy who actually chose me, I didn't think about the fact that we are not really that compatible. Does that make sense?"
My brain can literally not comprehend what Ginny is saying.
"Wait, hold up. I need a second to think about this" I said.
Ginny not liking Harry Potter? The girl who was pining over him before she even met him It doesn't make any sense. But deep in my mind I realise that it actually does kind of make sense. She was in love with the idea of Harry, not actually Harry as a person.
"Hermione, not everything needs to be thought through in such detail, I've only just realised this the past couple days and I already know what I need to do", exclaimed Ginny.
"What do you need to do?"
I said, so badly wanting the answer to be-
"I want to break up with him"
That! Exactly that! I need to play this carefully. I'm not even sure what I'm doing…. I like Ron, right? But do I even like him, or do I just want a boyfriend to dampen the pain of not having who I really want… do I want Ginny? I have no idea. I have a thousand different thoughts whirling through my mind right now and they all seem to be circulating so fast. I already kind of knew I was bi, but is Ginny who I really want? Yes, please yes, says my body, getting wetter each second that passes. But my mind says no. I can't do that to Harry or Ron, especially Ron… I couldn't leave him for his sister! Right?! That's out of the question.
Honestly why am I even thinking about this in the first place? Ginny has never expressed any feeling towards women, and even though I know I'm bi, I haven't either! I'm going to think logically and talk to Ginny about this.
Ginny's POV
Hermione had been silent for a couple minutes now. She's thinking very hard about something at length, I can tell.
"I know you well Hermione" I said. "Stop internalising everything single thought you have and just tell me what you think".
Even though I want her opinion, I've already made up my mind, I'm breaking up with Harry. Everything I said to her was true. I think I'm in love with the idea of Harry Potter instead of the actual Harry.
"What about Teddy?"
Hermione makes a good point.
"Fuck. I was so caught up in the idea of leaving Harry I forgot about Teddy". "What do I do?" I pondered.
"I think if you want to leave Harry, leave him. Teddy will be okay. Caring for a child does not fix a relationship"
She's right. Simple fix. Why are problems that you think would be so difficult are suddenly so easy when you face them?
"I'm sad. Harry is a perfect boyfriend. Almost too perfect, which is why we need to break up. Honestly Hermione, I'm bored. I'm bored of our conversations, I'm bored of the random shit we do, and most of all I'm bored of our sex life. It's shit." I didn't mean that part about our sex life to come out (no pun intended), but I'm glad it did.
Hermione opened her mouth, then closed it again. She looked like a gaping fish. But still she's so fucking cute! AHHHHH. "You don't have to say anything, but thanks for this conversation Hermione. I feel like we covered years of conversations in one. I'm gonna talk to Harry tomorrow".
Then she leant over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek. My eyelids fluttered in surprise but I kind of liked it. She moved down to my neck and I fucking loved it. I was getting more and more turned on, ready to rip off my and her clothes, but she suddenly stopped and jumped away in haste. I want her. I don't know why or when this happened, but I want to fuck her. She took one last look at me then scuttered up the stairs.
Little did they know, Harry was listening to the entire conversation from the stairs and had seen everything. He hurriedly rushed upstairs. He lay in bed with his eyes wide open, and heart broken apart.
