CHAPTER 1: Nights to Remember
Harry was still awake in the middle of the night. He can't
sleep with Cho in his thoughts. 'Oh Cho! Why do you have to leave?' he thought.
Cho Chang, his huge crush, just left the Hogwarts because of Cedric's death. He
can't keep from blaming himself. He thinks it was his fault why Cedric was
killed by Voldemort. His friends are really worried. He eats little, has so
many sleepless night and during Quidditch practice, he's just there in the air
and does nothing but stare below. He's been acting so weird. He suddenly felt
the urge to go down. Just then, he saw someone sitting in front of the
fireplace.
"Uh," He wanted to catch that someone's attention.
A girl stood up from where she was sitting and was
terrified. "Who are you?" She can't see Harry because of the darkness that
filled the common room.
"Why are you still up?" Harry asked even though he
couldn't recognize the girl's face.
"Harry?" Ginny knows Harry's voice. She thinks it was
because of all the stalking she USUALLY does during her first and second years.
"I almost screamed! You scared me to death! Oh, well. I can't sleep. And you?"
"I can't sleep too," he replied. "Do you mind if I sit
beside you?"
"No I don't, it's okay." Harry sat on the couch facing the
fireplace.
They stayed there for almost one hour and neither of them
spoke. At last, Ginny broke the unbearable silence. "Something's bothering you,
right?"
"Huh? Nothing, really," he lied.
"Oh, no there is!" Ginny insisted. "Harry, you could tell
me. I can be a good listener and adviser, you know."
"It's just that...uh, nothing."
"Guess I'm not trusty eh?" she said with hurt.
"No, um, I...I just can't find the words to say how hard I
feel. It's about Cho." Harry said immediately when he heard Ginny's hurt voice.
"Cho. Think it must be bad to feel someone you love leave.
You know, I believe that when you really are meant for each other, you two will
meet again in the future." she said. Ginny's over with Harry so she doesn't
feel bad about saying these. "You'll get over it. All you need is just a
little..." she tickled him on his tummy which made him laughed. "See? Get a
life, Harry!"
He smiled. "I think Ron and Hermione must feel bad about
me ignoring them. I just thought it's good to be alone."
"Yeah, it's good to be alone at times. But then, you will
feel lonelier." she told him.
They kept on chatting and chatting. Ginny told funny
stories while Harry just listened and laugh. It was until Ginny felt sleepy.
She didn't talk for a while and when Harry turned his head from the fireplace,
Ginny's sleeping already. Harry then noticed how a beautiful lady Ginny is. He
shook his head. 'No, she's just a friend!' Then she shivered. He realized it
was getting cold and getting late. It was already 2:30 AM. He thought he might
as well accompany her. He got a blanket and lied beside her. They were so close
(AS IN REALLY CLOSE) because they had to fit in the couch. While sleeping,
Harry who is unconscious hugged Ginny. And then Ginny, woke up, surprised to
find herself in Harry's arms, got up which made Harry wake up too.
She asked, "So what do you think you're doing?"
It was already morning but they were the first one who's
up. Harry's face blushed. "Uh, I just thought that you need to be accompanied
here tonight and you felt cold so I got some blankets."
"Oh." Ginny said, humiliated. "Sorry. And, um, thank you
for your concern. Um, you could go back to your sleep again. It's still early.
I will go to my dorm and take a bath."
"No, I might as well go to the boys' dorm."
With that, they both left. When he arrived at his bed, Ron
woke up. "Good morning Harry! You didn't sleep, did you?" Ron asked.
"I did. But downstairs..." he was supposed to say 'with
your sister' but didn't think it was a good idea.
"Why?"
"I can't sleep so I went down. There, I felt sleepy so I
found myself lying on the couch."
"Uh-huh." Ron said stading up and went to the bathroom.
~*~
During the afternoon, a Quidditch practice was held. This
time, Harry is paying attention. His friends noticed it too. Good thing they
didn't ask for his changed mood.
That night, Harry went downstairs when he saw that his
roommates are already sleeping. He was hoping he could see her again. 'There!
She's there!' he thought and sat again on the soft couch. "Hi!" he said.
"Can't sleep again?" Ginny asked.
"No, I just think it's nice to stay here."
They talked again. Then by 1 AM, they said goodnight to
each other and Ginny pinched him on the nose which made Harry snicker. This
happens every night, which made them closer to each other and during the day,
Harry's mood gets better and better until...
Harry noticed two heads on the couch. He sighed. He wants
to be with Ginny. Alone. When he got there, he noticed that the other head was
a guy. They were giggling so Harry turned and marched and went back to his
dorm. "Stealer!" he muttered under his breath.
The next night, he was hoping that the 'Stealer' wouldn't
be there to steal the night but unfortunately, he's there again. He wanted to
see who this mystery guy is and found out it was Seamus! He then found himself
standing in front of them and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, hi Harry! Seamus and I were just talking about...um,
is there something wrong?" she saw the expression on Harry's face. He was
glaring at her...no! at Seamus. "Stealing the night huh?" he said and left.
Ginny heard what he said and tried follow him but decided no to. She went back
to Seamus and said, "I think I have to go now. I'm already sleepy." Then
pretended to yawn. "Alright, goodnight
then" he replied then the both of them left.
Harry was punching his pillow until he felt tired and
slept. The next morning, he found the 'stealer' and Ginny talking and smiling
during the breakfast and Harry just couldn't take it anymore.
