A/N: Hey folks. Sorry to say this but there won't be any frantic posting
tomorrow night like last week cuz I'm goin to SLANE!!!! (Big concert thing
that I've been waiting ages to go to.) I'm really sorry about this; I just
feel the need to share all of these random details. I'm really not sure
why.

Harry sat down beside Ginny. "I was right to make him go and visit her wasn't I?"
"Of course you were! Don't be silly, Hermione needs Ron much more than I do right now!"
Harry smiled inwardly at Ginny's unselfishness. Never in his life had he met such an unashamedly good person. She was the only person that he had ever felt deserved the phrase 'heart of gold'. He realised that even Cho, when she had chosen Cedric over himself, had not deserved that colloquialism. It was nice to know that there were truly good people in the world.
Harry moved a little closer to her, and put an arm about her shoulders, out of friendship, of course.
"But you need someone right now. You look far further down in the dumps than before. What's up?"
For the first time, Ginny looked into Harry's eyes without hesitation. She saw the concern and sincerity that they held. She knew that at that moment, she could tell him anything, no matter how silly it seemed.
"It's just everything."
"Do you want to elaborate on that at all?"
Ginny smiled. "Haha. Well, I just.I don't like seeing everyone so upset. You've been unhappy for a while now, Ron's so angry and upset for Hermione. And poor Hermione, she's just suffering."
Harry gave Ginny's shoulders a small squeeze. "It's alright. We'll all be okay. I know we will. Because we've got you to worry about us and make sure we're all okay. It's so sweet that you think about how we're feeling all the time Ginny, it really is. But you can't let thoughts and worries like that take their toll on you. You haven't been eating, Hermione says you haven't been sleeping. You've gotten all thin and pale, just in the past fortnight. You'll just waste away, and I don't want that."
Harry pulled back a little as the full weight of his last few words hit him. He had meant them. Really meant them. Maybe, maybe he hadn't noticed all of those things about Ginny because he was just a concerned friend; maybe he had been worrying about her for another reason. And maybe he hadn't just rushed Ron out because Hermione needed him, maybe he had wanted time alone with Ginny aswell. In a moment, Harry had recounted all of the coy glances across the breakfast table, all of the 'accidental' touches, he even saw his hand at that minute, sliding from Ginny's shoulders to her waist.
"Harry what's wrong? Oh, I shouldn't have said those things, they were stupid weren't they, oh I'm such a-"
"Shut up"
Ginny looked at Harry in surprise. He was looking right into her eyes. It seemed like a really corny thing to think, but she actually felt like he could see something deep inside her. He could plainly hear the voice in her heart begging him to kiss her.
So he did.
