A/N: This has picked up on quite a few radars it seems. Wow, thanks for the support. Keep in mind this will come a lot slower than you're anticipating. Now we come to Harry's big moment on the Hilltop. Enjoy.
3: Some Say That we are Players, Some Say That We Are Pawns
2 Hours Later Hilltop above the Burrow.
Molly's peptalk before I made the walk up was the boost of confidence I needed to make the biggest gamble of my life.
"Ok, just like you practiced…"
But as luck would have it when my bright and blue eyed girlfriend made her way up the hill, whatever confidence I had picked up from Molly suddenly vanished into thin air.
"Hey, what's up you said you needed me."
The hand reached back for the ring in my pocket ready and waiting.
"Ginny, there's something I've been wanting to say to you since the second we both left Hogwarts."
I could see a small smile form on her face and that allowed me to continue.
"My whole life, I never knew what I was or who I belonged to, my relatives who were alive weren't the best people as Ron could attest to. But since that day I first got on the train, met your brother, and saw you there was a true family I could relate to. You guys have always been there for me on an off these past 8 years, and in the past 2 I've never been more happier with you than I've been right now which is why."
My knee began to lower to the snowbank as I reached for the ring and started to mouth Ginerva but before I could feel the moisture go up my knee she unexpectedly stopped me dead in my tracks.
"Harry, let me stop you right there."
That threw me for a loop.
"Do you really think now is a good time to do this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Dad says I may have picked up more than a few traits from Mom, and one I know that he had was intuitive aptitude. If I can guess what's coming correctly, than can I say this."
"Guess What?"
I could feel Ginny grab my shoulders and pull me back up to my feet. My face went through the ringer as I was wondering what was happening until she stopped dead short of my pants pocket.
"The boy who lived, can do a lot better than this…"
While watching Sirius and Dumbledore die was one of the worst moments for me personally. Ginny just joined them in the top 3. She kindly kissed me on the cheek and smiled innocently enough.
"Lets get back to the party, I think you could stand to liven things up some more."
She led the way but as far as I was concerned the damage was already done. It was 11:10 when I came back into view at the party as I noticed Draco and his girlfriend Astoria belt out that American song All My Life. The way to the table I had been at before was quick. My eyes shot Ron and Hermione's direction while they were talking with Viktor Krum and his pregnant wife. Once they saw me they broke contact and rushed right over.
"Harry…"
"Hey man, what happened."
I looked at them as a mix of hollow and shell.
"She dumped me."
Ron was a bit stunned while he turned and noticed Ginny talking with her soon to be supervisors at The Daily Prophet. Hermione however digressed as she rubbed my shoulders.
"Harry, maybe tonight wasn't the best night to do this."
Ron knelt to my side noticing the ring bulging out of my jacket.
"She's right mate, what more could you have done."
As I was set to respond, in the distance I noticed a bright Purple glow. The guys broke off and left me to my own devices for a bit. However, I noticed that glow get brighter. Somehow, I was the only one noticing it.
"What is that…"
As I left the party again with the clock showing 11:28 I figured I could use a breather to ponder Ginny's words. Plus that glow in the distance was bugging me
"The Boy Who Lived, could do a lot better…"
"What does she mean?"
My answer would come soon enough.
