Venus is there- Week two
PG
~*~*~
Ginny's POV~~
I felt awful. The days were dragging by so slowly. I was always tired now, from lack of sleep. I had been studying the stars every night and talking to Dominus every second night. I knew Harry was noticing my bags. He would look over at me and press his lips together until they were white, concern all over his face. Ron had even tried to order me to go to bed earlier. But he didn't understand, no one understood except Dominus, that I had to do this. I couldn't stand by and let someone die bacause I was tired!! At least I had Dominus as a friend, he knew what I was going through.
It was ironic how we had become friends. Me, always sneaking away to draw by the lake, Dominus, always sneaking away from the centaurs, feeling he didn't fit with them. It was by chance that we had met, by the forests edge. There was something different about him, he wasn't so stiff about conversing with humans, but he did worry what others thought of him. After how many years, I had learned to understand the stars just like cantaurs. And it was hard, knowing what was happening and following the strict code, not letting anyone on, for the stars had chosen to let me in on their secrets.
I looked at my watch absentminidly. Oh no! It was 12:30, I have to go meet Dominus now! I got up and ran to the door, just as Harry entered the common room. Damn!
'Gin! Hey Gin! I need to talk to you' He called to me.
'Harry, not now, I have to go' I said, shaking. It hurt to look at him, ever since I had learned that Jupiter was in the sky, and in December! I turned around and hurried out the portraight door, praying to the stars, that he wouldn't follow me.

Harry's POV~~
Something was up, especially since last week. All I remembered was talking to Sirius, my reason for being down by the forest and -BAM- next thing I knew I was kissing Ginny Weasley. It was a nice kiss, I don;t know whether I scared her or not, but there was something else that was bothering Ginny. And, if Ginny was too busy to talk to me, I'll just have to see why. I had to admit it to myself, I was worried about her. More worried than I had ever been. She looked awful, always so sad and tired. Creeping down the hall, I glanced around making sure there was no one. There wasn't. I followed her outside. Where was she going? To the forest? Why would she be going there? I walked slowly behind, making sure she didn't hear me, but I think she was too caught up in her own thoughts to notice anything else. She slowed doen and entered the forest quietly. I followed and soon hear voices, one her's, one I didn't reconize. Peering around the tree I saw her standing there, talking to a centaur. Since when did she talk to these creatures? I wondered. He was speaking especially low.
'Ginny, I see Venus up in the sky' He said
'You do? Oh that's great!' She cried, throwing her arms around the man (er horse? er both!)
'It's small, hardly visible, but it's there..' He said as he smiled. 'Oh and one more thing, the Polar Star shines brightly tonight.' Ginny stiffened then turned around slowly, in my direction.
'Harry?' She said shocked. How did she know I was here?
Ginny's POV~~
'Harry?' I asked shocked. Damn! How much did he hear?
'Hey Gin' He said meekly, a little shocked himself.
Dominus broke the silence 'I must go, the time runs late.'
'Bye Dominus. Remember what I said' I told him. He nodded his head in thanks, before galloping off. 'Well...' I said 'I guess I should be heading back....'
' Gin, what's going on?' Harry asked, concerned.
'Harry don't make me erase your memory again' I told him.
'You? You were the one who did it?' I nodded my head as Harry's eyes widened. 'Why?'
'Look, I won't erase your memory again if you forget yourself that this happened, ok?' I said, pleading with him. i hated erasing memories, although I was exceptionally good at it, i felt it gave me an unfair advantage over others. I breathed a sigh of relief when Harry nodded. 'Let's get back to the castle, before they find us missing ok?'
'Sure' Said Harry. We walked up to the castle in silence. I felt relieved, Venus was there, help was on the way...
