"The Red-Haired Goddess" By, Shini-Setsuki Chapter 2: Promise me, Hermione

Authors note: Ah, and here is the next chapter. I must thank "Under the moons influence" and "Katafae" and "cassi0peia" for reviewing with the three reviews that I asked for! Now, I would like to have a total of 5 reviews before the next chapter comes up! Please? Thanks! I don't own these people, J.K. Rowling does!!

Hermione brushed Ginny's hair as she told her of Neville's date. "If it was THAT bad, why don't you just break up with him?" Hermione asked.

"I can't do that to him! He always tells me I'm the one thing that brings him joy in this life."

"But what about you, Ginny? You also matter, girl!"

Ginny firmly shook her head no. "Not about this. As long as someone I care about is happy, then I'm happy."

"You are so self-less," Hermione told her, pulling her hair up into a high pony tail so she could put it up for a bun for the night.

Ginny turned around and stopped Hermione from continuing with her hair. "Promise me you won't tell Harry or Ron," Ginny said looking at Hermione pleadingly.

"What? Don't tell them what?"

"PROMISE!" "Alright, alright! I promise, girl! Now what's up?!" Hermione asked, grasping Ginny's hands in her own.

"I love Harry," she whispered.

"What?" Hermione asked, only catching the part about 'Harry'. Her inner spirit soared as she realized what she had said.

"I am in love with Harry," Ginny replied more firmly.

Hermione kept control over her facial features and looked Ginny dead in the eye. "Are you sure?" she asked.

Ginny stood up and did a little twirl, her red hair spinning with her. "Of course I'm sure! Whenever I'm standing within five feet of him, I get the shivers and my pulse quickens whenever I think of him! I know he's the one for me!"

"Then it's final."

Ginny stopped spinning and looked at Hermione. "What is?" she asked skeptically.

"You're breaking up with Neville."

"But. but."

"No buts! If you love Harry, then how can you hurt Neville and have him think you care for him? And more! What about your heart! Doesn't it feel wonderful to finally admit it to one of your closest friends? I could have burst I was so happy when I told Harry I thought I was in love with Draco. Gosh, that weight was deadly crushing on my chest."

"But, Hermione, what if Harry doesn't care for me?"

"He'd have to be blind and a complete dumbass now to," Hermione replied. "And both of those, we know he's not. Now, come here so I can finish your hair so we can both go to bed!"

"Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"Yes?"

"So, what happened with you and Draco this evening?" she asked.



Authors note: Ok, I know, these are pretty short, but if you review, they'll get longer. Thank you very much to those of you who do push the little purple button. I swear! If you push it, it'll do a magical jumping jack! Ok, I'm lying. It won't really do that, but it'd be cool if it did. And you'll only find out if you push it. Come on, you can do it!!
