Chapter Seven
An Understanding
It was a sunny day outside, a nice day for a wedding, but everything went wrong. She felt so lost. Ginny observed the ground as though she's never seen anything like it before and waited for him to speak.
Harry stood by the door awkwardly, his eyes on the ground. She knew he was afraid to meet her eyes, how could he?
"Harry," Ginny began. She was hurt, very badly, but he was right. She deserved an answer to why he has become what he has. "Harry, I don't know what to say to you. I mean, I thought this was certain, but I suppose I was wrong. I will never have your heart, and even if I do, part of it will always belong to her."
He shook his head and finally walked to the bed. She nodded for him to sit down and he did. He brought his eyes to meet hers and there was sadness in there that mirrored hers.
"Ginny," he said quietly, "I never meant to hurt you. I don't know what came over me, just that the moment of deciding made me panic. I didn't know what to say and not hurt either one of you. I think that I'd rather not make a decision than to hurt someone from the decision that I make."
"Is that the decision you made then?" she asked him, her voice hushed. "If you loved Cho, Harry, you should have just said so. I'm used to getting hurt. This wouldn't have been anything new to me."
She was always the one ending up hurt. No matter what she did, she never got what she wanted. Perhaps it was just her luck. Perhaps it was fate that decided that she was meant to be alone.
"No," he answered her. He reached his hands forwards as if to touch hers, but he stopped. She looked away, disappointed. There was nothing that she wanted more than to have Harry take her in his arms and tell her everything was going to be okay.
"That's not true, Ginny," Harry continued. He glanced out the window and up at the moon before looking at her again. "How could you have said that? I don't think that you were meant to be alone at all. I think that you just haven't found that one person who will love you like no one has ever before."
Ginny scoffed and she could feel the tears returning. Couldn't he understand? He was the only one for her. He always was and he always will be. There will never be anyone that she loved more than he.
"I think I did, Harry," she said. She couldn't meet his eyes, she didn't want to. "I think that I already found him, only he didn't seem to think the same way."
Harry shook his head and to her surprise, he took her hands. He held them and he stared deep into her eyes, his questioning hers. "Why do you do this to yourself, Ginny? I mean, after what I did to you, you still think that I am that person? I can't be if I hurt you that bad."
She didn't care what he said. He was the one for her and she knew that more than anyone. "But maybe you're just not ready for any of it yet, Harry. Maybe you just need time to realize that I love you."
Her words shocked him and he stopped. He let her hands go and turned away. "Ginny, it was two years that we were together. I do love you too, but." then he stopped. He glanced back at her and he shook his head sadly. "You don't understand. I made my choice and I'm sticking to it."
Ginny's head spun out of control and she closed her eyes to steady her self. She sighed and held her emotions down. "Okay, Harry. Okay. I'm sorry; I didn't mean any of it. I think I know a solution to this. The only solution."
He stared at her and she nodded, closing her eyes again. It was really going to hurt her, but she's doing what she thought was right. It must be right. After all, she only wanted him to be happy. And if being with Cho made him happy, she'll have to let him be with her.
"Harry," she took a deep breath, "go to her. I know that you love her and believe me; I only want you to be happy. That's the only thing I've ever wanted. Go find her, and go tell her how much you love her before something happens."
He stared uncertainly until she gave him a sad smile and nodded her head. "I'm not kidding, Harry. Go find her and tell her how you feel. It's not too late, unless you take forever."
There was gratitude in his eyes and she knew she did the right thing. Harry's happiness was enough to make her happy.
Ginny sat in the dark until she realized that Draco had something to tell her before Harry came in. She rushed to the door to see if he was still there, but there was no one.
She went into the kitchen and received several surprised looks from her family. "Did any of you see Draco?" she asked them, her eyes searching.
Her mum shook her head, "Ginny dear, are you okay? Is there anything that we can do for you?"
Ginny shook her head and was ready to return to her room, but she stopped. "Er.well, after everything that's happened, I was wondering if I can take a trip. To anywhere as long as I can get away for a while and sort through my thoughts."
Her father nodded frantically, his fork in his hands. "Of course you can. I'll arrange everything, just tell me where you want to go."
She stared at her oldest brother, Bill, who was the only one of them all who understood her very well. If she chose her trip with him, it wouldn't be very expensive. She smiled, "I'd like to go stay with Bill for a while."
Bill nodded and stood up. He grinned and stared at their dad. "She can, dad. I think its right to give her a vacation after everything that's happened. You can stay with me at my flat and when you want to, you can go roam around the streets. I won't bother you either. I'll just keep an eye on you."
Ginny nodded with gratitude. He really was her most understanding brother. "When do we leave?" she asked Bill.
He shrugged, "I have to get back to work. Tomorrow, perhaps?"
She nodded and headed upstairs to pack and then rest. A very busy day stood ahead of her and a very sorrowful past needed to be forgotten.
A\N: Well, I know I have many grammar problems, but I can't help it. I'm really horrible at this, I know. Anyway, so basically, Harry's decision is he chose no one, but then after talking to Ginny, he went after Cho. Don't worry; he'll catch her before she leaves back home. And as for Ginny, she's off to Egypt with her brother Bill. But there is still Draco. He has something to tell her that is very important, but he seems to think that she doesn't care. Next chapter: Draco goes to find the woman that he might loose. Can he make her stay? The last of the chapters, but there will be an epilogue.
