So I'm really sorry if I'm doing this to her work but let's just have some fun… Enough said!

Chapter 16

A Confession from Kyle

It had been almost five days since Harry had been released from the hospital wing. Five days since he tried to kiss Ginny....

Harry sighed, trying to concentrate hard on the page of his book as Professor Flitwick tried and demonstrated the charm.

"Okay, class. All you got to do is raise your wand and point it to the thing you want to change into gold and say Mutotus aurum. But this spell only works for non-living things and not to living things like your pets." said Professor Flitwick, balancing himself on a stack of books to be seen by everyone. "Who can tell me a certain situation where the Goldening Charm is used?"

Immediately, Hermione's hand shot to the air.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" Professor Flitwick said.

Hermione stood up and said, "The Goldening Charm was used during the Quidditch World Cup last year. The leprechaun gold was an example of these things changed into gold. But the leprechaun gold was not a product by a single charm alone but by two charms, the first is the Goldening Charm and the second is the Disappearing Spell, which makes the object disappear after it returns to its original form. The Goldening Charm will wear off after an hour or two so its effect is only temporary."

"Very good, Miss Granger. Very well said!" Professor Flitwick said, clapping his tiny hands together. "Ten points for Gryffindor!"

"Okay, for further explanation. I'll give you an example." He pointed his wand to a silver ball on his table and said, "Mutotus aurum!"

Harry was amazed at how the ball suddenly changed from its silver color to a sparkling golden shade. Professor Flitwick let them copy some notes for the rest of the time.

While copying, Harry thought about Ginny again and again. Then he remembered the incident in the hospital wing, he suddenly felt himself blushing.

"What's with you, Harry?! Are you blushing?" Ron suddenly whispered to him.

Harry stopped blushing and said, "Blushing? Me? No way!"

Ron still looked at him, looking puzzled, then went back in copying Hermione's notes. She was sitting on his other side, scolding Ron for not listening to what Professor Flitwick was dictating to them.

Harry smiled, returning to his thoughts. He was glad that Ginny wasn't mad at him about that incident. She didn't avoid him nor did she show any sign of awkwardness to Harry. Harry wasn't sure of anything already. He wasn't sure if he really liked Maya or was it just an excuse for something… He wasn't even sure about that something either. He didn't know either if he did really love Ginny or was it just a sisterly love he felt for Ginny since he didn't have any sisters or brothers. But then he always felt at ease with Ginny and he enjoyed her company very much. And why was he always jealous of Kyle then?

Maybe I'm just jealous because I'm afraid to lose her as my best friend…Harry thought, feeling more confused than before.

After placing all his stuffs in his bag, Harry, together with Ron and Hermione, went out of the room to search for Ginny and Maya.

"Hi Maya!" The three greeted altogether when they saw her passing by.

"Hi, guys!' said Maya with a smile.

"Where's Ginny? You're finished with your classes already, right?" Ron said, looking for any sign of his sister around the corridors.

"She's with Kyle right now. Kyle said he wanted to tell Ginny something." Maya said.

"Where are they now?" Ron asked curiously.

"I don't know, they didn't tell me." Maya replied.

"Ron, don't worry about Ginny. She's old enough to handle herself." Hermione assured, seeing Ron's worried face.

"If Kyle tries to do something bad to my sister, Ill break his neck even if I get expelled." Ron said seriously.

"Don't worry, my cousin wouldn't do anything bad to Ginny. I know he wouldn't." Maya tried to assure Ron.

"Just trust the two, okay?" Hermione added.

Ron sighed and gave in. "All right, I'll give Kyle a chance. I hope he doesn't blow it." He said.

"He wouldn't, I promise," said Maya, her voice with certainty.

"Let's go to the Gryffindor tower first so we can fix ourselves then." Hermione suggested to the others.

Ron and Maya nodded.

"You go ahead, I'll just see you at the Halloween feast later. Got to talk to Madam Hooch about our next match." Harry said.

"Okay." Ron said. And so he and the two girls went to the tower together.

Harry walked in the other direction but he didn't go to Madam Hooch's office but instead he went outside to look for Ginny and Kyle.

Where in the world could those two be?! Harry thought looking around at the darkening surroundings of the lake.

Meanwhile, while Harry was going desperate searching the castle grounds for the two, Ginny and Kyle were just sitting by the bench outside the entrance hall, looking towards the sky as the stars began to appear.

The two were silent for a while, just looking at the multitude of stars in the sky.

"So what are you going to say?" asked Ginny.

"Gin, I know you love Harry very much," started Kyle, looking at Ginny with his gentle purple eyes.

"Kyle, I don't know what you're saying and—"

"Even though you're not telling me anything about it, I know you love him." Kyle said. "I can see it in your actions." He smiled.

"…"

"But Gin, there's so many people around you who also cares about you. Harry's not the only guy around you." Kyle continued.

"I don't get you," said Ginny. And that was the truth. She couldn't understand what Kyle wanted to say.

Kyle smiled at her. His eyes just stayed connected with her eyes. "You pay much attention to Harry and that's why you can't see the others who care for you too."

"But I—" Ginny tried to deny it but Kyle's finger silenced her. He looked at Ginny's eyes more sincerely.

"I like—no—I love you, Gin. That's the truth. But I know you won't notice me because you love Harry already. I know I don't have any right to tell you what to do but I still love you even though I'm hurt when you smile at Harry and not to me, although it hurts me to see that Harry's the one who makes you laugh…"

"Kyle, I don't know what to say," Ginny looked away from his eyes, feeling guilty that she caused pain to someone so dear to her. She blushed slightly when Kyle told her this but guilt still conquered inside her.

Kyle held Ginny's chin and gently turned her head to face him eye to eye. Ginny cast her eyes sideways, still avoiding his warm eyes.

"Ginny, come on, look at me." Kyle persuaded Ginny.

"No, I can't."

"Please…" Kyle softly pleaded.

Ginny slowly moved her eyes and looked into him.

Kyle was smiling at her. "That's better." He said. "You shouldn't feel guilty nor should you pity me. I'm not forcing you to love me but I just wanted you to know my feelings towards you. At least I won't regret it that I didn't tell you that I love you. It's all right if you don't love me now, it will only hurt both of us if you'll pretend to like me even though you like someone else. And, I'm willing to wait—even forever. If you feel you're all alone, just go to me. I'll be right here waiting for you. We're friends, remember that."

"Thank you, Kyle." Ginny smiled, holding Kyle's hand tightly. "You're so wonderful. I'm sorry if I had hurt you."

"I know you didn't mean to. I just hope Harry won't hurt you." Kyle said, smiling.

Harry will never notice me, thought Ginny but she didn't say anything to Kyle. Kyle doesn't know that Harry likes another girl—Maya, she thought.

"Harry's so lucky. A girl like you is very rare to find. You're so pretty, sweet and very kind too. In fact, you're everything," said Kyle.

Ginny blushed furiously to Kyle's comment.

"Harry will never notice me." Ginny said softly like a whisper more to herself than to Kyle.

"You think so?" Kyle asked.

"Mhm." Ginny nodded. "He likes another girl." She murmured.

"Don't worry about it so much." Kyle said, putting his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "If you need someone to talk to, I'm just right here, okay?"

Ginny appreciated Kyle's kindness to her so much. "Yeah, I know." She smiled.

Harry finally saw the two and he couldn't help but stop in his place in the scene he saw.

Ginny was with Kyle and Kyle's hand was on Ginny's shoulder. They looked so cute together, they looked like they belonged to each other. Harry's heart began to ache terribly just like the pain he suffered when Voldemort was near him.

Gathering what was left of him, he walked to them and tried to look casual.

"I hope I'm not disturbing the two of you," said Harry, looking at Kyle's hand on Ginny's shoulder.

Kyle immediately noticed this but he kept his hand there a little longer. "Hello, Harry." He greeted with a 'Are-You-Jealous-Harry?' smile. He was doing this for Ginny's sake—to have Ginny's revenge on Harry.

Harry nodded and smiled back, trying hard not to react at Kyle's smile. "Hi." He said, looking at Kyle with a 'Take-That-Hand- Off-Or-Else' look.

Kyle got the message perfectly and took his hand off Ginny's shoulder slowly.

Ginny saw the situation wasn't pleasant but she didn't know how to act upon it too.

"Thank you for saving me, Kyle." Harry said courteously to Kyle. "I owe you my life."

"It's nothing." Kyle said. "Just did what I thought was right."

"I still owe you one." Harry said.

Kyle stood up and said, "Forget it." He turned to Ginny, who was still sitting on the bench and said, "I'm happy we had enough time to talk, Gin. See you around." He turned his back and went to enter the entrance hall.

Ginny and Harry both watched Kyle as he walked through the doors of the entrance hall.

Harry wanted to talk to Ginny about Kyle that moment but he couldn't find the courage to say it right now. Instead he said, "The feast will start any minute. Let's go inside."

Ginny nodded, smiling weakly.

The two walked to the corridors silently. Harry wanted to start a conversation with her about Kyle but he was afraid to break the precious silence between them.

As if Ginny had read Harry's mind, she said, "Harry, can I talk to you about something later after the Halloween feast? I really need your opinion about this."

Harry was glad he could finally talk to Ginny later. "Sure." He said.

"So, meet you on the common room later about an hour before midnight?"

"That will be great!" Harry said as they entered the Great Hall.

As usual, the Great Hall was truly fascinating and awesome. The night sky was like the sky outside, dark but without stars. Thousands of bats flew on the ceiling in different directions. About a hundred of candles floated in midair, flickering, and huge orange pumpkins were also levitated in the air together with the candles.

Although it was normal during Halloween Feasts, Harry and Ginny were still dazzled by the decorations and charms on the Great Hall. The ghosts drifted in every direction, trying to play tricks on the First Years. Nearly Headless Nick was with Fred and George laughing, probably about a joke.

Harry and Ginny passed the sea of students seated in long tables and sat themselves on the chairs Hermione saved for them.

The students of Hogwarts ate, drank and celebrated until dinner was finally over. One by one, the students went up to their dormitories to rest themselves.

The five also went upstairs together with the rest of the Gryffindors. Ron told Harry on the way about the joke he heard from Fred and George awhile ago. The two kept on laughing that they were the center of attraction until they reached the Portrait of the Fat Lady.

"Why are the two of you smiling?!" The Fat Lady asked in an irritated voice to Ron and Harry.

Harry and Ron looked at each other and shrugged. "Her date didn't show up that's why she's in a bad mood tonight." Ron whispered to Harry, trying to make it softer so the Fat Lady wouldn't hear it.

"Nonsense!" The Fat Lady exclaimed; then she asked them the password.

"Crescent Beam," Hermione said with a yawn and she quickly slipped past the portrait and said good-bye to Ron and the others. Ginny and Maya followed Hermione after saying good-bye to the two boys.

Ginny went immediately to bed after changing to her sleeping dress. She looked around and waited for the others to fall asleep, especially Maya.

It didn't take long for the rest of her roommates to fall asleep. She immediately flew out of bed and grabbed her purple robe and went downstairs.

The common room was silent but Ginny could see a person sitting on her favorite armchair by the fire. She sat on the armchair next to it and found herself face to face with Harry Potter.

Harry gave a soft smile and said, "I thought you wouldn't come."

"I'm sorry. I still had to wait for the others to fall asleep." Ginny apologized with a small smile.

"So what's your problem?" Harry asked.

"It's not really a problem but I need your advice about this." Ginny said in a soft voice, afraid that someone might hear them.

"About what?" Harry asked, even though he had an idea about the topic.

"Kyle."

"What about him?" asked Harry.

"Well, as you know, we had a chat…and he…"

"He what?" Harry said.

"He made a sort of confession…" Ginny mumbled.

"Okay, and what did you do?" Harry said.

"Well, I still haven't decided clearly about it but I'm sure he's willing to wait and all." Ginny answered. "And, I really want to know your opinion, so what shall I do?"

"Why are you telling all of this to me?" Harry asked.

"Because I trust you and I know that anything you will advise me is for my own good." Ginny said with a smile, her eyes looking into his emerald green eyes.

"I think you should give him a chance," said Harry after a minute of silence between them. "He loves you and he'll be perfect for you. The two of you look good together, you know." He added.

"Really?" Ginny said. "You think so?"

Harry nodded slowly. Why am I saying this to her? This is my chance but I'm letting it slip away… but it's for her own good…Harry thought sadly.

Ginny looked into Harry's eyes for a moment as if searching if he was telling the truth.

But Harry's eyes stayed fixed on her and so she sighed. "I guess you're right." She said softly. We'll never be able to start Harry—never, she thought sadly.

Harry saw Ginny's face was pale. He thought about something to cheer her up.

"Want to go outside? An evening stroll, perhaps? Or do you prefer a ride on my broomstick?" Harry offered, smiling at her.

"I like all the ideas, Harry." Ginny smiled. "But we can't go outside, Filch will see us and we'll get caught and we'll get detention or get expelled." She said.

"There's a way," said Harry with a mischievous grin. "You wait here. I'll go get something." Harry said as he went upstairs.

Ginny waited patiently, looking at the blazing fires. "I love you, Harry. How can I tell you that?" She whispered to the fires as if waiting for it to answer. Then she remembered what Kyle had told her.

"At least I won't regret that I didn't tell you that I love you. It's all right if you don't love me now; it will only hurt both of us if you'll pretend to like me even though you like someone else."

She was suddenly interrupted with her thoughts by the sound that connoted the approaching Harry.

"Harry, you scared me." Ginny said with a laugh.

Harry was holding his broomstick on one hand and the other held a cloak. Ginny looked curiously at the cloak then at Harry.

Harry smiled at her and said, "Miss Weasley, I present to you—the Invisibility cloak!" Harry gave the cloak to Ginny and Ginny looked at it closely.

"Harry, this is really an Invisibility cloak but how did you—"

"Tell you later. Let's go outside. I want to have some fresh air." Harry said. He took the cloak and pulled it over him and Ginny. "Let's go." He said.

The two sneaked out of the portrait hole and into the grounds just outside the entrance hall. The whole place was dark and silent when they arrived. The only light that could be seen was in the sky—the moon and the tiny stars. Harry took the cloak off and looked around. "It's too dark to fly, we might bump into the walls." Harry said.

Ginny took her wand and said, "Illustro locus." The tip of her wand sparked and then the whole place lit up. It was like a hundred of candles were floating in the whole place. "It's not dark anymore." She said to Harry.

"Wow," gasped Harry. "How did you do that?"

"I read it. Brighter than Lumos. Very useful when I get afraid of the dark." Ginny explained. "So will you tell me where you got the cloak?"

"It's my father's. Dumbledore returned it to me when I was in first year," said Harry.

"So Hermione and Ron knows about it?"

"Yes." Harry said. "I'm sorry I haven't told you about it until now." He added.

"I understand." Ginny smiled. "So can I have the ride you promised me a while ago?"

Harry smiled. "Sure." He helped Ginny climb his Firebolt and he kicked hard on the ground.

Speeding upwards, Harry felt happy as the wind brushed through his face. He felt so relieved. He did not feel worried—not until, a burst of hot pain started to build in his forehead. Before the pain could kill his senses, he maneuvered his Firebolt into the ground smoothly.

Clasping his scar with his hand, he went to sit on a nearby bench and Ginny immediately followed him.

"Are you all right, Harry?" Harry heard Ginny's worried voice.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Harry said, trying hard not to let Ginny worry. "Here," said Harry, handing her his Firebolt. "You can ride it if you want, I'll just watch you here. Go on." He said, forcing a smile.

Ginny took the broomstick but she just held it. "Are you sure you're all right? We can go to Madame Pomfrey if you like." She said.

Harry held his scar tighter as the pain throbbed. "Don't worry, I'm fine." He said.

Ginny sat on the broomstick and floated in front of Harry. "You're not okay." She said, still afloat in front of Harry.

"It's just my scar. It's no big deal, Gin." Harry said.

Ginny went down from Harry's Firebolt, placing the broomstick on the floor, and sat beside Harry. She took Harry's hand from his forehead and placed her own hand on it. "You're hot." She said, taking her hand off his scar.

"It's nothing, I told you." Harry said.

"It's nothing?" Ginny repeated. "This pain will kill you!" Ginny said worriedly. "Let me see if I can think of a spell to remove it even just a little." Ginny bit her lips as she thought and thought about a spell. After a couple of minutes, Ginny took out her wand and pointed it at Harry's scar. "This might only lessen the pain and it wouldn't take all the pain." She smiled softly.

"It's all right, Gin. I'm already used to my scar pain." Harry said, gently pushing Ginny's wand away from him.

"No, Harry. I got to do this." Ginny said, pointing the wand back at Harry. "Eximo dolor." She mumbled.

Harry felt the pain slowly draining away but still a trace of pain was left. But then it was far better than awhile ago. Harry smiled at Ginny and said, "Thanks, Gin."

Ginny smiled weakly at him. Her face was pale and exhausted. "It's nothing. Just did it for my best friend." She said.

Harry looked worriedly at her. "Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah." She said feebly. "Just a little sleepy, I guess."

Harry's heart relaxed.

"Harry, I want to tell you something…" Ginny said softly.

"What is it?" Harry asked, looking at her face. She still looked pale and weak.

"Harry, I lo—"

"I think you must take a rest already. Let's go back. I'll carry you." Harry said, his worry increasing.

"I can walk." She protested.

"It's just my way of saying thank you. So don't protest, okay?" Harry said, giving the broomstick to Ginny.

Ginny took Harry's Firebolt and took her wand out again. "Caligo locus." The whole place darkened and it was back to normal.

Harry carried Ginny in his arms and draped the cloak over them.

"We're here, Ginny." Harry's voice streamed into Ginny's ears, waking her up immediately.

Ginny opened her eyes slowly and was staring at Harry's green eyes. She smiled softly. "I fell asleep." She said.

Harry put her down and Ginny handed him his Firebolt.

"I hope I didn't bother you much with my scar pain." Harry said apologetically.

"No, not at all." Ginny replied.

"Umm, Gin about the thing you were supposed to tell me, what is it?" Harry asked.

Ginny blushed slightly when she remembered that she was about to tell Harry her feelings towards him. "Never mind." Ginny said with a smile. "I'll just tell you some other time." And she went to the staircase.

"Gin," Harry called out.

"What?" She looked back at Harry curiously.

"You ought to lose some weight. My arms are aching." Harry teased, smiling.

Ginny made a face. "Yeah right." She said.

"I'm just joking." Harry said.

Ginny smiled at him. "I know, Harry. Sleep tight!"

And the two slept peacefully after a long tiring night.
