Harry's Answer

Hermione awoke with a start the next day. She had been awoken becuase of the dream she just had. She knew the dream was Harry's answer. She had been dreaming of what Professor Trelawney had said. Even though Hermione didn't have her she knew her voice. It was misty with a little hint of mystery behind it. Hermione could hear the professor's voice in her head.

"The thing you most desire is right in front of you."

She heard the voice in her head all night long. Red hair, this thing he most desires, *right in front*. Hermione had now figured out this puzzle. All the pieces were right here.

She got dressed quickly and went downstairs. Only Dean, Seamus, and Nievell were down there. This meant that the boys' dormitory only held Ron and Harry. Hermione thought that she was going to have to wake them up. But when she got up to the boy's dorm she heard hushed voices.

She knocked on the door quietly. The voices stopped. Hermione heard some shuffling around and then the door finally creaked open. There stood Ron in his boxers. Hermione blushed a little.

"Uhh... Ron?" Hermione pointed down at Ron's boxers.

"What? They're just boxers Hermione," Ron said this as though he were talking about a book. "Well, come in."

"Harry! I know what the answer is!" exclaimed Hermione in a hushed voice.

"What?! What is it?!" asked Harry.

Hermione gave a worried expression. She knew that Ron didn't want to hear that his baby sister was what Harry most desired. She decided that she would tell Harry and then it'd be his decision to tell Ron.

"Well, since it's Harry's answer, I'll tell him first," Hermione said.

"Can't you just blurt it out?" asked Ron.

"Ron! This is Harry's business. He will tell you if he wants," Hermione said with an annoyed tone.

She walked over to Harry's bed and whispered into his ear.

"It's Ginny Weasley. The girl you most desire," Hermione whispered. "The question is answered Harry. Don't you get it?"

Hermione thought back to yesterday, when he said 'Where's the right girl?' and she had told him that she'd come. This was Ginny Weasley.

Harry's eyes widened. He did keep thinking about her a lot. He could picture her smiling now. He loved the way she smiled at him, it made his heart skip a beat. And how when she looked at him, it was as though she could see right into his soul. It made him feel all warm inside. Harry was amazed. Harry couldn't believe that he didn't think of that.

Ron saw his expression. He was curious and wanted to know too.

"What is it, Harry? I want to know!" Ron said.

All Harry had to say was 'Your sister' and Ron understood. He knew that Harry would be the right one for his baby sister. Even though she wasn't a baby anymore. She was growing up.

He had to stop thinking like this. He was beginning to sound like his Mum.

Harry got dressed and was going to go downstairs into the Common Room, when he turned around and gave Hermione a hug and said "Thank you Mione!"

"Your welcome," she said hugging back.

Ron was getting jealous since Hermione was his. He went over and stole Hermione from Harry's grasp.

"Harry. go find Ginny!" Ron said jokingly.

"Right! Thanks again Hermione!" Harry said as he ran downstairs.

Harry sat on the couch and waited for Ginny to come down.

It was sometime before she had come down. He glanced over at the person coming down the stairs. Ginny Weasley stood at the bottom of the stairs looking around. She was so beautiful. Why hadn't Harry noticed her before? He suddenly realized that she was looking at him.

Harry stood up and went over to Ginny. He looked into those warm, brown eyes.

"Ginny." he took her hand. As he took her hand she blushed slightly. "I'm really sorry the way I acted the other day."

"It's ok Harry," she said knowingly. "But Harry. I have to tell you something."

She looked disappointed.

"Let me tell you something first," Harry said as he squeezed her hand. "Ginny. you're the one for me! I've been blind these past years. I've never realized how special you were to me Gin."

Harry looked straight into her warm, brown eyes. Ginny looked back into Harry's emerald green ones and was lost. She could stay lost in those eyes forever.

Finally, Ginny came back into reality and realized something as she looked over Harry's shoulder. Her heart sunk. She had a look of disappointment upon her face.

"Gin. what's wrong?" asked a concerned Harry.

"Harry! I'm so sorry!" she started to cry.

"Hi, Harry!" Harry heard the most familiar voice. "Talking to Ginny? She's really nice huh Harry?"

Harry spun around and he was face to face with. Colin Creevey. Harry stood there for a moment not daring to breath. He was confused. He didn't understand. Then it hit him.

He, Harry, was not the first one to notice Ginny as being the special someone in his life. He had lost Ginny then. He might as well given his life to Voldemort then. Not knowing what to do he turned to look at Ginny. Harry's face had become white. Ginny noticed the change of color in his face.

"Harry. I'm so sorry!" Ginny whimpered. "I didn't know when you'd be ready. Colin was there for me."

Harry turned to Colin. He glared at Colin. But he couldn't blame Colin. He just happened to be there when Ginny was down. Now Harry was paying for it. He had said no to Ginny.

"Colin. you take care of her. Ok?" Harry said trying to force a smile.

Colin smiled back. "Ok, Harry, I will!"

Harry walked back upstairs. It felt as though a ton of bricks fell upon him. It was hard for Harry to breath. He was just getting to the top of the stairs when. he passed out and fell backwards.
