A/N: Finally! It has arrived! CHAPTER 2!!!!! Woohoo! I am so unbelievably happy that you guys liked chapter 1...your reviews gave me the strength to write this chapter. Thank you so much! And it might be awhile before ch.3 comes out because of the fact that I am trying to work on my other story Made For Each Other and I want to get a chapter for that out before I begin working on this again...but hey! If I have no clue about what to write for that story, then I'll come back to this one! Okay, now for those of you who didn't realize that I wrote this in chapter 1, here it is again: Ginny is in 6th year, Harry & Co. are in 7th year, and Cho is, thankfully, out of Hogwarts. Okay now for those of you who are wondering why the heck Cho is staying with the Weasley's over Christmas break here is some background info on Cho.

Cho's background information: Cho and Harry began dating at the middle of Harry's 6th year, and they spent all their time together over the summer, and when school started up again for Harry in 7th year, he missed her dearly (*snorts*) of course he owled her and they saw each other on Hogsmeade visits and what not, but, it just wasn't enough so when Mrs. Weasley found out how desperate Harry was without Cho she let Cho stay at the Weasley's where Harry would be for Christmas break. Isn't that lovely? *gags*

Well, there you have it, so now you know why that thing is at the Weasley's. Now...read on!

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
you think I'd crumble
you think I'd lay down and die
Oh no, not I
I will survive
as long as I know how to love
I know I will stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
and I'll survive
I will survive

I officially believe in Hell. Because Hell is what I am in now.

It's 8:03 A.M. and someone is pounding on my door.

I rolled over in my bed putting my hands over my ears trying to block out the constant tapping. I thought winter break meant a break from having to be woken up early.

Bang.

Gah! Someone is very impatient. "Wha? WHAT?" I shouted somewhat groggily.

Whoever was at the door took my reply as an invitation to open it and walk right in. I left my eyes closed figuring it was Ron wanting to know something.

"Ginny," I jumped out of bed knocking over a few things in the process and hitting my leg on the bedside table. It was Harry. Harry was in my room at 8:04 in the morning. Oh my God my hair! I instantly flattened it out, running my fingers through it desperately although I'm sure it didn't help a bit. He looked at me oddly for a few seconds, blinking, and then continued. "Uh..." He began still looking at me a little strangely. "I wanted to talk to you about Cho-"

I groaned. I should have seen this coming. Why would Harry Potter be in my room for any other reason than wanting to talk about...her. "Look Harry, I know she's your girlfriend...and that you have to," I paused for a second and then a little sarcastically I said, "protect her, but, you have no idea what happened last night so don't start yelling at me."

Harry's eyes widened and I could tell he was a little more than shocked that I had actually spoken up without giggling or running away or...whatever it was that I used to do in his presence. "Actually," He began, recovering, with a slight edge to his tone, "I do know that she apologized and you immediately blew up on her-"

"NO. You don't know anything about what she said, you don't know anything that happened. Cho was completely rude to me...Don't come into my privacy and yell at me about something you have no idea whatsoever about." To say I was mad, would be an understatement. God, he had me fuming. He had no right to say that to me. That I had blown up on her.

Harry took a step back, which I took as a compliment. "Cho told me everything that you said, and she was really hurt by-" Harry raised his voice a little which made me even more annoyed. But I cut him off.

"And you believed her." I shook my head. "You really don't kn-"

"I know that you're being a little bitch right now," Harry said through gritted teeth.

I opened my mouth but nothing came out, and all of a sudden I felt tears spring to me eyes. I won't let them fall. I won't let him see that he got to me. I closed my eyes for a second hoping to push the tears back in but it ended up having the opposite effect and a tear trickled down. I saw Harry's eyes widen and then a look of regret passed through them. I didn't care. He said it, and that's what mattered. He took a step towards me but I put my hand out and shook my head to stop him. "She's changing you and you don't even know it," I whispered looking into his piercing green eyes, my vision slightly blurred.

"Ginny I-"

"Get out," I said my voice shaking. "Get the hell out of my room."

He obliged, looking at me a second more and then turning to leave, shoving his hands in his pockets.

The second the door closed behind him I collapsed onto my bed, burying my face in my pillow and crying freely, sobs taking over my body.

I must have been crying for about ten minutes when again I heard another knock at my door.

"Go away," I mumbled my voice muffled from the pillow.

"Ginny, can I please come in?" It was Ron. Damn...he heard me crying.

I quickly wiped my eyes, and sat up. Hoping my face wasn't too blotchy, although I'm sure it was. "Yeah...you can come in."

Ron opened the door slowly and then shut it behind him after he'd walked in. "What happened?" He asked.

Well I wasn't going to tell him. The last thing I needed was for me to run to my brother crying because Harry Potter called me a bitch. "What are you talking about Ron?" I asked, my voice cold.

"Ginny drop the act, I know you, you're trying to be tough and it's not working okay?"

No. No he didn't know me. He didn't know me at all; no one does, because if they did they would see that I am not okay. I am not doing as well as everything thinks I am. But no one sees that, because they don't try. "Look Ron, it's really none of your business."

"Ginny, when you're hurt it is my business because you don't deserve that. You're my sister and I love you."

Okay, now I know Ron only said that because he thought that I would completely fall for it, and pour my soul into him just because he said something sweet, and you know what? He was damn right.

I smiled a little, sinking in the softness of his voice. Feeling a rush of gratitude towards him, I went up and hugged him, tight. It took a second for Ron to hug me back, because of his shock, but soon he did. When he let go he said, "Now can you please tell me what happened?"

I took a deep breath. This would be a long story. I sat down on my bed and Ron sat down next to me as I launched into the whole story starting with last night at dinner. 

"Whoa...whoa...wait." Ron began sniggering. Oh no. Here it comes. "Cho was down Harry's pants!?! How the bloody hell did I miss that?" He asked holding his stomach, as he practically doubled over.

I sighed, waiting patiently for him to be done. Well, Ron, you seem to miss a lot of things. You miss how this is killing me inside. "I don't know," I muttered.

Finally Ron looked up at me obviously noticing how I wasn't joining in on the 'chortling'. I gave him a death glare, all said before was forgotten.

"Oh...damn. Ginny, you - you don't still like him do you?"

Another death glare.

"Oh...bugger. I'm sorry Gin. I didn't realize-"

"That was obvious," I shot at him, feeling more annoyed by the minute. If I could have a knut for every time I heard the 'I didn't realize' phrase.

Ron chewed the inside of his lip. "Aw...Gin please don't be angry. Just - just continue the story."

I sighed, well...at least he wasn't making fun of me or anything like the twins would do. Since I'm such a "softie" I gave in, and continued the story where I left off.

A few minutes passed and as my voice was getting hoarse I finally just about finished up.

"...And right after I said that he told me that he knew 'I was being a little bitch right now' and-"

"WHAT THE-" Right then Ron said a word I have never I mean, NEVER heard him say in my life. Hermione told me Ron only seriously curses when he is really mad. "I'm going to kill that bastard. I really am." Ron now had come off the bed, his eyes bugging out and he was pacing around the short space in my room. "No...no I'll torture him first, yeah...The Cruciatus Curse...maybe a couple of times. Then of course good ole avada kedavra...but I don't know if that hurts enough. Maybe I'll just grab a knife and stab him to death, I heard that's how the muggles-"

"RON!" At this moment I was seriously scared. I did not care who he was protecting...he was just being...FREAKY. "Ron...I hate Harry right now too...but you can't - you can't kill him." I bore my eyes into Ron's trying to knock some sense into him before he ran out into the streets throwing curses at anyone who said the word 'Harry' or 'Potter'. Hell, at the rate he was going he might just kill someone who said something that rhymes with those words.

Ron stopped pacing; obviously realizing what he was doing, and sighed, sitting back down on my bed. I moved a little away from him - just in case.

"Okay - so I won't kill him but he's going to bloody here it from me and-"

WHAT?? "NO!" I shouted. "No...There's no way you and any of my brothers are going to yell at him. I don't want him and what's-her-face thinking that I need you to protect me. That's not what I want to get across," I panicked.

"What do you mean 'what you want to get across'?" Ron asked skeptically. Where was the Ron who was asleep half the time when someone's talking?

"Look - nothing. Just, don't say anything okay? Be normal."

Ron blinked. "You want me to act buddy-buddy with a guy who just called my sister a bitch?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yes! What is the problem?"

"Well I can't just go, 'Hey Harry...so you called Ginny a bitch, eh? Want to go for a jolly quidditch ride out back?' can I?" He asked raising his eyebrows.

Men.

I stared at him, "Ron, don't be dense."

Yes, I realize that it was an impossible request.

Apparently he needed me to elaborate. "Look, just - just pretend I never said anything...or, er, pretend I was lying."

"Well were you lying?"

"No."

Ron threw his hands up in frustration. "Women!"

I glared for a second, and then suddenly felt a light flicker on upstairs. "Ronnie..." I pouted using the kid name I had for him. "Please?"

"Well..." He began. Ooh...I almost had him.

"Pleeease?" I asked again giving him the ole reliable lip tremble.

He sighed, and I knew I had him. "All right...I won't say a thing. But if he makes you cry again-"

A scooted back over to my brother, and kissed him on the cheek, at that moment I was very thankful for him. Lord knows Fred or George would never have agreed to not kill Harry. "Thank you!"

"Yeah...yeah," Ron muttered. "Now...just, get off me!" He laughed swatting his hand at me. I laughed too almost forgetting about the tears that had fallen just a little while back. Almost.

I sighed as I heard the twins bounding up the stairs. Breakfast was over and so was bonding time with my journal. At least mum believed me about "feeling sick". Yes, I realize that it was sort of a wimpy thing to do...you know, not go to breakfast just because someone called me a bitch...but, I just - I don't think I could trust myself enough not to cry. I had to be strong. That was the point, being strong, only after crying in front of Harry this morning it seems any dreams of that happening are...zip.

I guess it could be worse.

"Ginny?"

It just got worse.
