Ginny's Turn
Ginny woke up very early and went downstairs. She had put her hair up into a half ponytail, with a little strand of hair dangling in front of her eyes. This was very difficult to do, especially with Ginny's hair, since it was so curly. But she managed it. When Harry came down he looked really sick. Like he didn't have any life in him. Ginny thought about backing down. But then relized that if she did some other girl would have this chance.
Harry sat down in a chair. Ginny sat in a chair acroos from him.
"Hi, Harry," Ginny said shyly.
"Oh, Hi Gin," Harry said in a low voice.
"Harry... can I ask you something?"
"Yeah sure. What is it?" Harry said with a trying smile.
"Well, I've seen all the girls that you've gotten together with. And well I'm sorry."
"Thanks Ginny. But I'm ok."
"Well, I just wanted to know... you would like to get together sometime?"
Harry stared at Ginny for a moment before speaking. Then finally said, "Gin, I don't think this is the best time. I need some time to myself."
Ginny's heart sank. She felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she held them back.
"Oh, yeah ok, Harry!" Ginny said trying to smile her best.
"Sorry, Gin!" Harry said apologetically.
"It's ok. I'm going to go up to my room. I forgot something."
"Ok."
As Ginny ran up the stairs tears flowed down her face. She passed Hermione and Ron on the way up. They tried to stop her to ask her if she was all right, but she just kept going. They walked down the stairs with confused looks on their faces. When they got into the Common Room, they saw Harry. They decided to ask him since he, most likely saw what happened.
"What happened to Ginny?" asked Hermione concerned.
"Yeah. Why was she crying?" asked Ron.
"She was crying?" Harry asked confused.
"Well, yeah. Did you happen to see anything?" Hermione asked.
"No. She did try to ask me out though. I told her I wasn't ready. But other than that, I didn't see anything," confessed Harry.
"She asked you out? And you said no?" Ron was bewildered.
He didn't see how Harry could be so blind. Out of all the girls that had asked Harry out, Ginny was the least likely to do anything to hurt Harry. Ron thought he knew that Harry knew that. Ron was so confused.
"Well, yeah. I just told her I wasn't ready. I didn't think she would cry over it," Harry stated.
Hermione looked over at Ron. He looked back and saw a concerned spark in her eyes. "Harry, I'll be right back. I'm going to check on Ginny," Hermione declared.
"Yeah me too," replied Ron.
They ran up the stairs to Ginny's room. Hermione knocked softly. Ron and Hermione could hear sniffles and knew that Ginny had been heart-broken.
"Who is it?" asked Ginny softly.
"Can we come in?" Hermione answered back.
"Yeah. Hold on," they could hear some shuffling around, and they knew that Ginny was probably wiping her tear stains off her face.
Ginny opened the door and saw Hermione and Ron. Hermione was guessing she had put make-up on. Because there were light pink tear drops on her cheek.
"Gin, are you ok?" asked Hermione.
"Yeah. I'm fine," replied Ginny.
"Ginny... I don't think he was really himself. He would have said 'Yes' to you," answered Ron. "I know it, you know it, and even Hermione knows it."
"I know...," was Ginny's reply.
But Ron knew she didn't know. She didn't know what Harry was like. She didn't know how heart-broken he was. He thought about this for a while. Hermione and Ginny's voices sounded like they were far off in the distance. Ron paid no attention to them. He had a lot on his mind. He finally came to his senses.
"Ginny? Are you sure you're alright?" asked Ron.
"Yeah. I'm fine! Thanks Ron," she smiled brightly at him.
"Ok. Well, I'll be downstairs if you need me. I'll come get you guys before we head off to breakfast!" replied Ron.
'Ok' was the girls' reply. Ron went down to sit with Harry.
"Harry. Are you ok?" Ron asked again.
"Not really," Harry responded. "I feel like I've been hit on the head with an elephant. I wish girls never exsited. I wish none of this had ever happened."
Ron looked at Harry with a concerned look. Harry looked back with a distant look. Ron could tell he really didn't feel good.
"Harry. None of us can decide that. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you," Ron replied.
Harry looked at Ron again. Harry knew that that line was from a book. Harry stood up and a smile spread across his face.
"Stealing lines, eh, Ron?" Harry smiled.
Ron knew that Harry was back. He could see that distinct spark that only Harry had. This was going to be a better day then Ron imagined. But there was still the problem with Ginny.
"How'd you know?" was the question Ron asked.
"I'm not the idiot you take me for Ronald Weasley! I do read too, you know?" Harry laughed.
They burst out into a laughing fit and then Ron finally said, "Parvati doesn't know what she's missing! You're a great friend Harry!"
"Parvati who?" chuckled Harry.
"Well, we'd better head down to breakfast. I'll go get the girls," announced Ron.
Harry nodded. He was glad he had a friend like Ron. Ron always knew what to do when someone was down. Now, Harry felt like he could take on anything. Even the things Malfoy threw at him. And he was even ready for the Quidditch meeting today. Ron, Hermione, and Ginny all came down the stairs. When they were all there, they headed down to breakfast. On the way they passed Parvati with Draco and Lavander. Harry paid no heed even though he could feel all their eyes upon him.
After breakfast, they headed to the dungeon where Potions was held. Draco, Lavander, and Parvati all took seats up front. While Harry, Hermione, and Ron took seats in the back. The 'Terrific Three' were back. The class went horribly well. Snape didn't take any points from Gryffindor or give out any detentions. He was really frustrated when he walked around to see how all the students were doing, and everyone was doing it right. When Potions ended, Harry, Ron, and Hermione walked back up to the Gryffindor Tower. Parvati and Lavander were already in there and were watching Harry as he came in. Harry glanced at Parvati but not for long. They took their seats on the couch near the fireplace.
"When will I ever find the *right* girl?" asked Harry.
"She's out there somewhere, Harry. I'm sure!" Hermione said in a motherly- like tone.
Harry smiled and they got ready for Divination.
*I had to put something in from Lord of the Rings! lol! hahaha... In case you didn't catch it... it was 'I wish none of this had happened.' 'That is not for you to decide. All you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.' Lol! I know I'm a freak!!*
