Chapter Five
Tears of Pain
He stood alone in the room for a while, his face set in confusion. He had just watched as the two most important people walk out on him and he didn't even stop them. There was nothing that made him more frustrated. Why was it that the happiest day of his life turned out to the worst day of his life?
Harry kicked Ron's bed in anger and sighed with frustration. He opened the door and went out, hesitating by Ginny's bedroom. He could hear muffled sobs, his heart tearing apart. Did he really love her? Of course he did, he just had a moment's hesitation and now his life was ruined. But he couldn't take it back. Of course, he could go talk to her and tell her that he still wanted to get married, but he knew that he loved Cho too. His heart loved her as much as it loved Ginny.
The crowd of families and friends outside was beginning to thin out. Only a few remained along with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley, Bill, Charlie, and the twins and Harry didn't dare make eye contact with any of them. He was a monster and he was sorry for it.
Muffled whispering entered his range of hearing, but he kept walking, his back turned to them all. He heard a silent gasp from Mrs. Weasley and a muffled cry. Only one boy dared to stop him; Ginny's best friend.
"Harry!" he gasped, trying to catch up with Harry's long strides. "Harry, what happened? I thought there was going to be a wedding. Where is Ginny?" then he paused, his huge eyes going bigger as if he's realized what Harry was doing. "No, Harry, you can't do that. Where are you going?"
He turned back to meet big blue eyes. "Collin, please leave me alone. I've already have enough things on my mind and I don't need anything else." He turned away without another word and ignored any other questions. It was only when blonde hair entered his field of vision that he stopped.
"Potter," Malfoy sneered, "you are a fool. I never thought you could stoop any lower. The one best thing that happens in your life and you're just going to let her go. Shame you don't know what you had and lost."
Harry didn't do anything but keep his green eyes on the ground. For once, Malfoy was right. He couldn't stoop any lower; he just lost the best thing that happened in his life.
He pushed by Malfoy without another word and walked on, his strides fast and angry. He was the biggest fool ever.

She sat alone, wringing her fingers together. Time was ticking by and there was still no news on what happened. Angelina and Amber sat with her in the quiet room, the rest of the family out to usher friends and family home.
There was an urge to tell them the happy news, but she didn't want to spoil Ginny and Harry's once happy moment. Then a thought dawned on Hermione, what if it did come to the fact that Harry doesn't choose Ginny but Cho? What would she do? Would she try her best to be friends with Harry and comfort Ginny at the same time? Would she end up hating Harry because he didn't choose the person that she thought he would? She didn't know what to think anymore.
"What is she doing here, Hermione?" Angelina asked, the crying Amber's head on her shoulder. After marrying the twins, they've become the best of friends and there was almost closeness as if they were sisters.
Hermione didn't know what to say. Cho didn't tell her exactly why she was there; only that she heard the news and wanted to come congratulate Harry. Obviously, that was more than what she did. She broke apart a wedding. "Er.she didn't say exactly why she was here. She only said that she wanted to see Harry again. I didn't ask anymore of her. I thought that was all she wanted to do and, well, I let her go see him. I pointed the way to go."
Silence filled the room and Hermione hated herself so much. It wasn't Cho's fault that the wedding was ruin, she ruined it half as much herself. Tears began to spill down her face silently and she kept her countenance turned so no one saw her.
"Hermione, it's not your fault if that's why you're crying," a stuffy voice said from crying. Hermione turned in alarm to find Amber standing by her, her red eyes swollen and kindness filled her face. "It's not anyone's fault, actually. If this is what fate decided to happen, then it will. If fate decided that Harry and Ginny should end up together, then they will. But I think that there is something else here that we're missing. Perhaps Harry isn't Ginny's soul mate. Perhaps there is still a certain someone that still needs his chance."
Confusion ran through her and she wiped away the drying tears on her face with the back of her hands. "What are you saying?" she asked softly. "They have been together for two years and I've never seen anyone love her the way that he does. I mean, Malfoy didn't even seem like he cared for her much. He broke her heart after only a while."
A big smile spread on Amber's face as if Hermione just said the greatest thing in the world. She glanced at Angelina to see if she understood this, but the older girl's face only mirrored the other's face. "Perhaps we're just not seeing what's behind the closed door," Amber said quietly, the smile still on her face.
The door creaked open and a flash of a puffy white dressed came into the room before slumping on the ground in the corner. Hermione gasped and stood up, followed by the other two. There was no need for words, only sounds of comforts and heartrending tears.
Hermione stroked strands of red hair, tears streaming down her face. She didn't know what to do. The corner wasn't a very comfortable place to cry, although it does seem like the best place in the world when a heart is broken.
Ginny sobbed big drops of tears onto her dress. She wailed with her three sisters-in-law before the door opened again and footsteps pounded behind them.
"I'll take her," he said, not wasting any time. Then he picked her up with his strong arms and carried her to the bed. He set her down gently and tried to pull back, but she clung onto him as though if she let him go, she'll lose him.
Hermione backed out of the room with the others, knowing there was nothing else they could do. It was up to him and actually, she was surprised he came back.
A\N: Yes, so this is how it is. If there is any questions or misunderstanding, just review, okay? There isn't much I can say about this chapter. Next chapter: more pain, a misunderstanding, and an understanding. Well, read and review.
