SWEET SIXTEEN
- Part 10 : To trust isn't that easy -
Harry didn't wait to see William's reaction to head for his tower. William just didn't worth to waste time for him. If Harry would have stayed in the Great Hall, he could have seen every Gryffondor standing up for him. And even if he hasn't wished that, he has just increased his popularity among the other students.
But, for the moment, in the corridor, he ran after Ginny.. After one month apart, he could still remember the smell of strawberry shampoo, he had just to follow that smell . He just loved that. He knew he just loved her. After looking everywhere in their common room, he feared she could have gone in her dormitory. He couldn't go there. But soon, he realized he had gone there many times to go find her in the night of Hogwarts, just to surprise her and just because he missed her. Now, he missed her more than ever. Not being able to hold her in his arms made him ill. Everytime he had wanted to kiss her, he had seen William do it. Again, Harry found himself anger with that jerk. And Ginny had accepted these kisses. But he couldn't blame her, it wasn't really her fault, because it was his entire fault if he had let her go.
In Ginny's dormitory, he saw no one and sat on Ginny's bed. She would come there anyway. A few minutes later, Ginny entered the room. She seemed quiet and peaceful, until she noticed Harry.
" Get out ! " she shouted to him.
" Ginny ! " Harry got up from the bed.
" I said : Get out ! Now ! "
Harry went to her. " Ginny, please… "
Ginny moved back. " Get away ! You're… you're disgusting me ! "
Harry opened the mouth but Ginny continued. She winced " How could you do that to me ? "
She pinched her lips. She has promised herself, not to cry, but with Harry, her senses were always against her. Harry could see she was sad, he wanted to comfort her so much. He tried to approach her again. But she kept moving away from him.
" Don't you see what she has done to us ?… that… that bitch ! "
" I know… "
" No ! You don't know ! You have no idea what she was up to ! " Tears were now falling on her cheeks.
" Please don't cry… " Harry didn't really know how to act.
" I'm crying because I'm upset ! You know that ! I'm always crying when I'm upset ! It doesn't mean that I'm afraid of you… or that I'm sad… "
" Ok… "
" No, it's not ok ! " She stamped her foot on the ground, looking at Harry. " God ! I hate that ! Crying doesn't make me credible ! "
Harry knew her too much, he knew he had to wait til she was calmed down because talking would make her cry louder. And he didn't wish that. He has promised herself he would never make her cry. And really, for the moment, he failed and he hated himself for that.
Ginny was now crying her soul, sitting on her bed… That was just the right moment to make a move on her. At least, it was what thought Harry. And it really didn't work. He has barely put his arm on Ginny's shoulder that she got up, furious.
" Stop Harry !… What do you think ? I'm gonna let you… touch me… after her ? "
For Harry, that was too much. He tried to comfort her and she just yelled at him. He had to be nice, but she was going too far.
" And what about you ? " Harry pointed at her.
Ginny stood back. " What did I… "
" Do you think it was easy for me to see you with that William ? "
He began to imitate the guy : " Did you see how I have stolen Ginny to Harry, Harry the Boy who Lived… Ho, I'm the best… I'm the… "
" Oh, Harry shut up ! " She sat on her bed.
" No I won't shup up ! " It was Harry's turn to get mad. " Just a few days after we broke up, you were in his arms… What do you think ? That I was happy ? "
" Harry, you dumped me ! "
" And that gave you the right to go out with the first man who asked ? "
Ginny didn't really know how to answer that. Sure she had made her mind very fast about William.
" Well… " She winced. " Maybe… "
" Yeah, right… " Harry was walking in circles around Ginny's bed.
After a little moment of silence, Ginny said : " I guess we both made mistakes. "
Harry looked at her above his glasses, showing he could fully argue about that.
Feeling she had to say something else, Ginny continued. " Still, I hate that Milla and you shouldn't have go out with her… "
Not believing Ginny was adding some more about the subject, he sighed and began to leave. But Ginny grabbed his left arm. Their first contact in a month. Harry coudn't resist and turned himself to her. She dropped off her hand. On her knees on her bed, she was beautiful. Now, she desired him to stay.
Standing in front of her, Harry started to explain with a slow and neutral tone" That was Hermione's idea… This whole thing with Milla. "
As Ginny didn't say something, he continued. " You see, she told Ron and me, you had heard Milla talking to her friend about how I… " He swallowed " how I had dumped you. "
Ginny stayed still, waiting for his explaination.
" And… we decided she had to pay… because what she has done had hurt us badly… "
" What was the plan ? " Ginny managed to say.
" I had to go out with her and tonight, when all the students were there and while she was kissing me, I should have stood up, watched her and shouted in the Great Hall : What ? ! You like girls ? !"
Ginny burst out into a laugh. She just loved the idea.
" She would have been so ashamed… " Harry said.
Ginny calmed down and answered dead serious " And because you're popular…everybody would have believed you. "
" But you arrived too soon… "
Ginny lowered her eyes. " I was going to break up with William, you know… "
Against the bed, Harry got slowly on his knees, to watch her in her eyes. " Is it true ? "
She looked at him, his head was just in front of her. She couldn't resist those damned green eyes. " Yeah… " She said, also lowering her voice. " guess I'm always in love with you. "
Those last words were told with a very low tone but Harry didn't need her to repeat herself. Those words made him confident. He grabbed Ginny's head in his two hands and kissed her passionately. Ginny didn't try to fight. She kissed him back with all her love for him.
