Only the Lonely
Chapter 1, Thinking about It
A redheaded
girl sat on a stoop next to a wall of armor, watching everyone go to their next
class. She sighed a great deep sigh
when she saw her crush walk by with a group of girls laughing at probably one
of his very funny jokes. He waved and smiled at her, leaving her just goggling
at him.
"Hey,
Ginny! What's up with you?"
Ginny
turned around and looked over her shoulder.
It was Ron who called her name out, and Hermione was with him holding
his hand. Seeing this made Ginny feel even worse.
"Nothing
really, I don't have a class during this period so I thought I would just sit
awhile and relax," Ginny answered.
"I don't
think sitting on a stoop is what you call relaxing exactly, why don't you go
back up to the common room or catch up on homework?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah I think
I'll do that," said Ginny "Of course she had to go and think of catching up on
homework."
"Okay,
well, I have to go to Divination now, I'll see you later, Hermione?"
"Yeah, sure
Ron." Hermione answered and this gave each other a small kiss.
Seeing
that, Ginny stomped away to the upstairs and to think up there. She wasn't
going to exactly do what Hermione told her to do … she was just going to sit lazily
in front of the fireplace … and… think!
"Muggle,"
Ginny said to the Fat Lady Portrait when she got to the common room. As she walked in, she was found herself in
the worse situation ever. Neville, who
had had a very big crush on her last year, and still does, was walking towards
her, with who else? Her crush. "Hullo,
Ginny! How are you?" asked Neville with a wink to add.
"Uh, fine,
excuse me, but I have to go catch up on homework, see you," she answered.
"Oh wait
Ginny! We were just talking about the Hogsmeade trip this weekend, there's
supposed to be this great party at the Three Broomsticks, maybe we'll see you
up there!" exclaimed her crush.
"Oh my
god, he DID NOT just say that to me! Does that mean something, like he's
expecting me to go?!? Oh my gosh, this can't be…AAAAAAHHHHH!!"
With a
sheepish grin on her face and blushing bright red, Ginny said, "Oh! Um … yes! I'll
be sure to be there, I guess I will be waiting for yo-…I MEAN! Um… I mean, I
will be hoping to see you there, too." And with that Neville and her crush
walked away, leaving her feeling VERY foolish of herself. She walked up the
staircase that led to her dormitory, smacking her head every step she took. She opened the door to the dorm and went to
her bed, and shut her curtains. "Oh geeze, I don't even know if I can go to
the party! Why did I even say that? I have so much homework to catch up on…
wait a minute…maybe I can do it now…oh but I don't feel like it! But I might as
well if I want to be at that party, I don't want to miss anything…"
"Ginny!
Ginny! Wake up! You're late for class!"
"Huh? Wha?
WHAT?! What time is it?!?"
"It's like,
2 something! You missed lunch and I got worried, c'mon, we gotta get to class!"
"Oh dear, I
can't believe I fell asleep, Julia," Ginny said as she got all her books
together, "I was catching up on homework I had to do and I guess I was so tired."
"It's ok,
just, c'mon!" said Julia, Ginny's best friend.
"What class
do we have anyway," asked Ginny?
"Charms…I
overheard that we are learning love potions, but I'm not sure if that's true.
Wouldn't that be exciting if we could? Oh my, I would love to try that on
someone," said Julia.
"And who
would that be? Hmm?" snickered Ginny.
"Oh be
quiet!" and they entered the door to the charms room.
"Hurry it
along, children, we are learning the love potions today!" said an excited
Professor Flitwick.
Ginny and
Julia found a seat and looked at each other with smirks on both faces.
"This
will be great, maybe I can use it at the party…"
******************************************************************************************************************************
Ginny, Ron, Harry, and Hermione
sat at the dinner table chatting away. "Wasn't
that Divination class so stupid? There's not point to that, honestly!" said
Harry.
"That damn
lady keeps telling me and Harry that our future thinkings are getting very
unlikely," says Ron.
"Maybe
because they are unlikely? I mean, come on, who is going to get the flu every
week? You guys have to think of different things. For one thing, I would not believe any of those ideas you guys
write down,"
said Hermione, with a hidden laugh from Ginny.
"Excuse
you! Who asked for your opinion? If you were in that class you would have a
hard time predicting your future also!" argued Ron.
"So, did
you guys hear about that party this weekend?" asked Harry, to change the
subject.
Ginny
blushed deeply and started eating her food.
"No, I didn't,
how about you Ron?" asked Hermione.
"Yes,
actually, I did, it's at the Three Broomsticks, right? Yeah, I read it on the
bulletin board down the hall. Do you
think you guys want to go?" he said.
They all
nodded their heads.
"It says
that it's a dance party and that you should bring a date…who are you guys
thinking of taking?" asked Ron.
Oh man
Ron! Why'd you have to go and say that? Now I'm going to have to hear whom
Harry is inviting. I'm going to look like a dork if I go and don't have a date."
"Er- I
haven't decided yet. But I have an idea," said Harry.
Oh god,
he has an idea, WHO?? Who is it??
As if
Hermione read her mind, she asked Harry who that idea just was.
"Oh, like I'm
going to tell you!" said Harry, but seeing their faces, he added, "oh this is
crazy, I was thinking of asking Jyeeiny."
"Who? What
was that?" Ron smirked.
"Oh god,
you're such a pain in the ass, ok…I was thinking of asking Ginny, if that's
okay with her…"
Holy
shit! He did not just say that! Oh my god! AAAHH! This can't be happening, is
this a dream? I hope it's not. What do-
"Ginny?
Ginny? Did you hear him? Did you?"
"Wha? Huh?
Oh yeah, I heard him. Yeah um…I'd like to go with you Harry, thank you for
asking," said Ginny.
"Okay then,
it's a date," he said with a smile.
He said
it's a date…this is a very good day.
Well, I hope you guys will continue on with this story. I
will be sure to update every so often.
