Parting of Ways

~*~

Lonely…

She sat up on her bed. "Why today?" rubbing her eyes with hesitation she thrust her head back, waiting for something. "No, no, no, a bit too soon I suppose?" she sighed in disappointment and walked into the bathroom. Looking in the mirror she sighed once again, "If only I looked this good a year ago"….She rolled her eyes and put her long auburn coloured hair in a loose pony tail while getting ready to take a shower.

Once she took her shower, she got dressed and went downstairs.

"Ginny! Your up!" Ron edged to her enthusiastically. "Come on! Harry and Hermione will be here any second!" he added excited.

Ginny just scoffed, "Okay, I AM here... calm yourself, besides… I've heard you from upstairs all morning, maybe they will be late?"

"Ginny, they'll be here on time… the muggles were probably giving Harry a hard time… After that last incident at there house, I doubt they'd want anymore of Harry's friends over"

Ginny laughed and retorted, "I think maybe they got lost"

"Don't even play like that Ginny! They'll be here!! Any minute now" Ron said in a rather unconvincing tone

……..In that instant there was a loud crash near the fireplace. Harry and Hermione had arrived at last.

Jealousy….

Mrs. Weasley then appeared and ran past Ron and Ginny, putting Hermione and Harry into a tight embrace. "How are you dears? Did you come through alright?" They both mumbled what sounded like a "yes". She let them both go and rushed off into the kitchen, serving the breakfast on the table.

"Hullo Hermione, Harry" Ginny nodded at both of them, rather a forced nod

Ron eyed her curiously, but in an instant smiled at Hermione. "Hey Hermione!"

"Hullo Ron…did you do your homework?"

Ron rolled his eyes, he liked Hermione but just couldn't stand her 'motherly' attitude "Hermione! It's vacation! What are you on about?!"

Before Hermione could start with one of her lectures, Harry then cleared his throat.

"Sorry Harry" mumbled Ron as Hermione shook her head in displeasure. He then started on about Quidditch.

"Boys" Hermione and Ginny said in unison, and walked into the kitchen taking their seats. Harry and Ron followed, There's something different about her, she's very pretty, no! she's your best friends sister! So what said that little voice in Harry's head. She's beautiful!! Harry was fighting with himself, "I've gone mad"

"What's that Harry?" Ron asked while sitting down.

"Huh? What? Oh, nothing just thinking" he laughed nervously and dared to glance at Ginny while slowly sitting down. Ron shrugged and started on about Quidditch again, in-between mouthfuls of bacon and eggs. Hermione looked a little aggravated and confused, but kept quiet.

Ginny felt as if someone was looking at her. She dared to look up. And then she saw him, his eyes never leaving hers he started to eat slowly. She was angry, jealousy, lust, pain and confusion surged through her veins. Her face flushed and she said coldly and clearly, "Excuse me, I'm going outside, it's getting hard to breathe in here"….

(¤~*A/N- I know Ginny's a little hard around the edges… but seriously how would you feel if you LOVED someone for so long, and them only glance at you one or twice b/c ur brother and/or sister is best friends with them? Tsktsktsk…Potter….not very nice!! Hehe…okay, I'll shut up now…*~¤)

Recognition…

Angry.

She was angry when she got up from the table, Angry when she ran out thinking about HIM. NOW he bloody realizes I exist?! She thought angrily. After all these years?! Well now too bad, because I don't like him like that anymore. We are practically family! She sat down on the grass, red in the face clutching onto her wrists and knees.

"Ginny?" she heard a voice say; she turned around and saw Harry. "Pathetic" she mumbled.

"I'm sorry, for whatever happened I didn't mean to give you the wrong impression" he paused, slightly waiting for her to reply. "Aren't you going to say anything Gin?" he questioned

"Yes I am, I don't like you like a boyfriend, I never will. I liked you long ago as a childish crush and that was all" Ginny paused and bit her lip

"I…" he paused also and rolled his eyes, half irritated, half angry. Harry opened his mouth to finish, but Ginny got up and retorted, "I don't like you anymore Harry, and I think now more than ever, it is our parting of ways" she looked at him with invisible sympathy and walked away.

Not to the Burrow, but to the street that led to the crowded Muggle Town...
