I've Waited Long Enough
CHAPTER 1: Working up the Courage
Disclaimer: The characters belong to JKR. The plot is my own original one. If you have a similar plot it's pure coincidence.
15 year old Ginny Weasley was sitting next to her friend, Hermione Granger, in the Gryffindor common room. Hermione had just told Ginny that she should tell her long time crush, Harry Potter, how she felt about him. Hermione seemed to think that Harry liked Ginny. But she knew that was impossible. Ginny had liked Harry for 5 years, and it wasn't exactly a secret. If Harry liked her back he had plenty of chances to tell her.
"I don't know Hermione..." Ginny said.
"Oh come on. Trust me." Hermione pleaded.
"No! I know he doesn't like me." Ginny replied firmly.
"How do you know that? Ginny, just try." Hermione said.
"And have him say no? It would be so terrible!" Ginny exclaimed.
"I know. But Harry wouldn't say anything to anybody. And you'll only have to see him everyday for two more years."
"Besides, who says he'll say no?" Hermione added.
Ginny laughed. "Well, OK. What is there to lose?" A lot, she thought silently. She wanted to take those words back.
"Great! You have to tell me everything." Hermione responded.
Ginny was already having second thoughts but she nodded and put up a brave front. She silently screamed.
"I better get going. Quidditch practice is about to get out." Ginny told Hermione in a quivering voice.
Hermione squeezed her arm. "All right. Be strong." With that Hermione hurried upstairs to her dorm, clearly trying to get Ginny to go.
OK. I can do this. No problem. Ginny thought to her self. She slowly walked towards the other side of the common room and to the portrait hole. But before she could do anything, it swung open. And there stood Harry.
