"Why does the Ministry of Magic consist of such idiots? Don't they realize
how powerful I am? Cho please explain why they do this. I'm the most
powerful wizard alive I can see everything they plan. Hmph." said
Voldemort. "Master they just don't realize how strong you've gotten these
past years" Cho said. "Yes, you are right. But, what a perfect
opportunity. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley in our midst. We can kill
both of them. Cho inform Lucius of what is happening. Actually scratch
that, I want to see if his son would betray us. Just tell the other death
eaters to be on guard. Nothing else. We'll see if Draco is really loyal"
said Voldemort. "Cho, you better get ready for your act. Remember to be
sad and desperate. Convince Potter that you're back to your old self.
Make sure that you distract him from watching Weasley. We need to attack
her without anyone else seeing.
Ginny and Harry walked out of the Ministry of Magic. "Ginny, are you
ok with this? I know you feel about Draco" asked Harry. I'll be fine as
long as I know that you are there watching me Harry" Ginny said looking up
into his eyes. She reached up to touch his face. Harry closed his eyes as
he felt her fingertips on his face. He sighed deeply. "Ginny, we can't do
this" Harry said. "I don't understand why you won't let me into you life"
said Ginny with tears running down her face. "Ginny, I don't want you to
end up like Cho. I couldn't stand it if I lost someone again" said Harry.
"Harry don't you realize that you might possibly lose me tomorrow. For all
you know one of the death eaters will figure out who I am and kill me.
Can't you realize that everyday is a risk. Love is risk. Harry, we need
to cherish every moment we have now" said Ginny. "Oh, Ginny I love you so
much but I'm so scared. I don't want to be the cause of your death" said
Harry. Harry couldn't stand to see the tears rolling down Ginny's
beautiful face so he apparated to his apartment leaving Ginny alone. Ginny
started walking down the street. She noticed all the happy couples walking
hand in hand down the street. "Why can't Harry and I be like that?" Ginny
thought to herself. She started crying again and could no longer take
being in public. She apparated back to her house.
When Harry got into his apartment he heard his phone ringing. He ran
to pick it up and Ron was on the other end. "Hey Harry, you just get in?"
asked Ron. "Yeah, I did. What's up?" asked Harry. "Well, Hermione wants
to celebrate Ginny's new job and wants to have dinner to come. She is
demanding that you be present" said Ron. "Umm Ron I don't know" said
Harry. "What happened? This has never been a problem before" said Ron.
"Ginny and I had a confrontation today. Not a bad one but she was asking
me why we couldn't be together and said we have so little time and stuff
like that. I didn't know what to say so I apparated home" said Harry.
"What!!! First of all you disappeared on my sister!! Hmph. Second, she's
right Harry. You don't know what's going to happen. You should grasp what
you have now" said Ron. "Ron, please. I don't think I can take this
anymore. Look I'll show up because I don't want Hermione yelling at me.
But I can't guarantee that Ginny will feel the same way" said Harry.
The next night Hermione was in Ron's kitchen cooking dinner. She was
making lasagna, Italian bread, and a really nice salad. "Yum, something
smells good" said Ron as he walked in. He was standing behind Hermione
rubbing her shoulders and giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Ron, hehehe,
don't distract me. Hehehe" squealed Hermione. "Hey, I can't help myself.
There's beautiful woman in my kitchen, cooking. I'm in heaven" said Ron.
"Haha, well soon I'll be here all the time. But now you have to set the
table" said Ron. "Whatever you say. Just the thought of us getting
married will make me do anything you say" said Ron. "Oh Ron" sighed
Hermione. Just then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it" said Hermione while
running to the door, "You keep setting the table." Ginny was at the door
wearing a midnight blue dress that made her eyes even more iridescent. Her
hair was out loose and was flaming red. Hermione gave her a hug and told
her to come in. "Can I do anything to help sis? Hehe" said Ginny. "Sis.
I like the sound of that. I finally have sister. Yes you can help Ron set
the table. I think he's ruining the table" said Hermione. "Oh no you made
Ron set the table. You have just caused major chaos" said Ginny laughing.
They walked into the dining room and indeed the table was chaos. Ron was
running his hand through his hair. "I just don't get the order of these
stupid utensils. Hmph. I give up" said Ron. "Oh, just get out of the
way. Let me do this" said Ginny. "Yeah!!! You go do it. I'll go sit on
that nice comfy couch" said Ron. The doorbell rang and Ron went to go get.
There was Harry with his usual messy hair but looking very nice in a pair
of dark gray pants and white polo shirt. He walked into the kitchen to
give Hermione a bottle of wine that he bought. He kissed her on the cheek.
"Hey Hermione, yum something smells awesome" said Hermione. Harry then
noticed Ginny in the dining room.
Harry watched Ginny setting the table; she hadn't noticed him yet.
She finally turned around and noticed him. They stared at each other for a
moment. "Hi, Ginny" said Harry. "Hi Harry" Ginny replied. "Umm, I don't
think this was a good idea" said Ron to Hermione. "I think you're right"
replied Hermione. "Hey, guys the food is done. Let's eat" said Hermione
trying to break the silence. The sat down at the table. Ron sat facing
Hermione and next to him sat Harry facing Ginny. Ron and Hermione tried to
make conversation but it was kind of hard with Harry and Ginny's silence.
"Ahhhh, I can't take this anymore" yelled Hermione. "Why are you doing
this?! Harry you love Ginny. Ginny you love Harry. Harry I know you were
hurt by Cho's actions. But you need to stop this!!" said Hermione. Ginny
started crying and walked out of the room. Harry looked at her.
"Hermione, why did you have to bring it up? We were doing just fine" said
Harry. "I can't take this. Look Ginny and I have a mission next week. I
need to get ready for it. So please excuse me" said Harry who then
apparated. "Oh no, look what I've done" sighed Hermione. "Hermione I was
about to do the very same thing. They can't keep hurting each other like
this" said Ron. Ginny walked into the room. "Did Harry leave? Well, I
see that he's not here. I don't feel well I'm think I'll go home" said
Ginny. "We understand Ginny. I'm sorry that your dinner was ruined" said
Hermione. "No, thank you, Hermione. The food was good and you meant well"
said Ginny. She then apparated. Ron and Hermione sat back at the table
and just looked at each other sadly.
