Gryffindor's
Common Room
A/N: Well, I really like to read and write mushy stuffs on Harry
Potter. And I often wonder why I can't be a writer like J. K. Rowling. I wish
that I could also be someone who will ride on a train and have a hint on my
mind about a boy not knowing that he's a wizard. I also wish that I were the
person who loves to create new words like JKR who was able to make Dumbledore
(from a bumblebee), Muggle word, Quidditch game. Such a nice talent! But still
with my inspiration, I was able to make this story (but this is not as good as
J. K. Rowling's). On with the story! This story is a POV of Harry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter (and if I do, I wouldn't believe
I did have him), Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny, Fred, George, Lily,
James, Dumbledore, Hagrid and more. But still, I was able to make this story "Common
Room" with my inspiration from J. K.'s.

THE WAY
TO THE DORMITORY
%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%
It was
already 5pm and was the end of classes. I am going to our dormitory to take a
bath. It's a very cool day. But still I prefer to take a bath to refresh my
body and more. Well, why am I thinking like this? Am I a girl? I'm a boy all right.
Maybe I was just acting like my best friend Hermione Granger. We began to be best
friend since I saved the troll for her. I mean "WE". I also have a best friend
named Ronald Weasley. He came from a big family. Many people call him from a poor
family. But I wouldn't! Maybe he just became poor because they got a big
family. He got his old brothers named: William (Bill), Charles, Percy, Fred and
George (Fred & George were twins). And also he got a little sister whose
name is Ginny. Ginny Weasley. She once had a crush on me, when it's her first
year. I think we've forgotten about it. But I don't belong to that we I'm
saying. I can't forget it. I can still remember it 'cause I like her back. It's
so sad that I didn't tell anyone about it even to Hermione and Ron. I just don't
feel like doing it. I felt ashamed whenever I think of telling it to them.
Well, wow. What a hot bath.... See ya later. After taking this hot bath...

WHILE
DOING MY ASSIGNMENTS IN THE COMMON ROOM
%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%=%
I was in
the Common Room together with my co-Gryffindor mates: Fred, George, Ron,
Hermione, Lavender (A/N: This is my favorite color [how nice!]), Ginny, Seamus &
more. I was in a table with Hermione, Ron, Fred, George and Ginny. All of us
were doing our assignments. But maybe try to remove the Weasley twins on my "ALL"
They weren't doing their assignment, I suppose because they were sniggering. I
wonder why. They were both sitting beside me so I tried to look at what they
were doing. In their notebook, it was written:
F L A M E
S
The
greatest pair EVER!!
HARRY
POTTER - 3
GINNY WEASLEY - 3
= 6 - Sweetheart
Oh
my! I thought they forgot all about it. But I was wrong. So there they were
sniggering and not doing their assignment but doing a "Flames" on Ginny and me.
They saw me looking at the paper and George snatched it from Fred's hands (Fred
was on my right and George was on Fred's right) and they both stared at me at
the moment. "Umm... Excuse me George. Can you give it to me? It's not proper
doing a "Flames" on people without their permission" I said and somehow
invented the law. "What Presidential Decree is that Harry?" asked Fred then
laughed all of a sudden. "You don't need a Presidential Decree before
respecting other person's feelings. Give that to me!! PLEASE!!!" I yelled.
Everyone at the common room looked at me. I tried to snatch it at George's
hands and he gave it to Fred. I pulled it out of Fred's hand but Fred threw it
away to Ginny.
I
was perspiring wildly as Ginny opened the crumpled paper and read it. She
blushed and tried to hide her face expression into something like nothing
happened. She gave it to me and I got it. I looked at Fred and George who were
laughing while I pulled it out of Ginny's hands. I think there's something
happening right now. I took a quick glance at my hand and I saw it. Instead of grabbing
the paper out of her hands, I accidentally held her wrist. And up to her palm. We
were interrupted (but I still didn't remove my hand out of her) by a girl
saying, "I think Ron, I'm a bit sleepy. Lavender, Parvati, wanna join me
upstairs? I'm going to sleep now. It's a bit too late," said Hermione. Then Ron
too pretended (as in he pretended. I know him if he was really sleepy by the
look on his face) that he was sleepy and said, "Fred! George! It's 9pm already.
Mom said we mustn't stay up awake at late" I looked at my watch. It was still
8:30pm. Ron is such a jerk. I know he must be over-protective when talking
about her sister but maybe he just wanted my happiness. But wait! It's still
8:20, I remembered me advancing my watch at 10 minutes so I wouldn't be late at
class especially in Snape's class. Then Seamus called out his friends to go
upstairs now. They did. A moment later, we were alone. *WE* as in, Ginny and I.
Suddenly,
I heard some sniffing echoing all over the place. I looked at Ginny and I saw
her crying. She had her head down and crying silently. She was in a chair
infront of me. So I stood up and walked on the chair beside her and sat down. I
hugged her tightly. I don't know what I needed to do if a girl cries. But I
think I'm doing the right way. I murmured to her, "It's alright! It's alright!!"
She removed her head off my shoulder and I wiped her tears using my hands. "Why
did you cry all of a sudden?" I asked. I know it's not right to ask a person
why she cried right after she did that but I can't take it. I was looking at
her crying. And just that! I am comforting her without knowing the reason. I
thought she was going to be angry and leave me here in the Common Room. But she
didn't. She just said, "I just can't take people leaving me. I'm afraid at this
Common Room, with the fire there. I think I'm not a true brave Gryffindor" "Ginny...
don't think that you are not a real Gryffindor. You are right to be in here. The
Sorting Hat's not a liar. It really know how to Sort people. that's why it was
called The Sorting Hat, remember? (she laughed silently) And I'm here with you.
Can't you see? I'm not wearing my invisibility cloak, as you can see" I told
her. I'm not really this mushy. But I can't help it when my crush was crying in
front of me. I guess this is the real me.
We
finally noticed the crumpled paper infront of us. I got it and I said. "Sweetheart?"
I don't know what I'm saying but that word came over my mouth without thinking
about it first. She was really sweet though. Sweet as a Candy I think. A tear
rolled down from her eyes as I said that word. I think I didn't need to ask her
why because she answered the question in my mind without asking it to her in
words. "I just couldn't believe that my crush or the person whom I admire would
call me as Sweetheart" she said. I smiled to her and said, "Well, now you do"
She smiled also to me and embraced me tightly. I don't like an embrace from a
crush! So I pulled out from our embrace and kissed her on the cheek then to her
soft lips. That time, I know that we both wish that this hour wouldn't end as
she responded to my kiss.

THE END
%=%=%=%
A/N: See? It's really mushy! Well, it's 9pm (really! not made up or
not advanced by ten minutes) at our clock and we haven't eaten our dinner yet
because I pleaded to my dad not to eat yet because I wanted to finish this
story before my sister grab the mouse and let me remember the "First Come,
First Serve" rule. Presidential Decree 28 (joke!).
