No one had ever thought that Ginny could have told Harry off like she had, but she did. It scared Harry because no one had ever talked to him like they had, with so much emotion. It was all new to him. As everyone in the library began to clear out, he turned to Tristen with an angry look on his face.

"What were you doing?" Harry exclaimed.

"Kissing." Tristen replied.

"Obviously!"

"Why's it got your panties in a bind?"

"Because she's my girl!"

"Don't look like it."

"What do you mean?"

"If she was your girl than you wouldn't have to buy a leash for her. If she were your girl, she would feel wanted enough to stay loyal to you and true. If she were your girl I wouldn't be found macking on her!" Ah, the American accent kicks in.

"And how do you suppose I make her my girl?! HUH?"

"I don't, I want her to be mine!"

"What makes you think you deserve her?"

"Same to you!"

"Me? I love her!"

"So do a lot of people! I'm IN love with her." Tristen pointed this out to a confused Harry.

"What are you talking about?"

"You love your mom, right?"

"If she were alive, yes."

"Well, you can love Ginny and Alexis at the same time, I'm IN love with Alexis."

"Than so am I."

"Make up your mind, man."

"It is made up!"

"Well?"

"She's mine!" And Harry stalked away.

It had been a long quiet walk for Ginny and Alexis as they rounded every corner with a bit of sadness, but appeared on the other side with pride. Ginny wasn't happy about yelling at Harry, but she knew it have to come sometime. Alexis had a guilty look on her face and Ginny was uncomfortable being around Alexis when she wasn't talking.

"Ginny, I didn't mean to bring you into that argument, that was stupid of me." Alexis and Ginny walked up the stairs.

"No, it was about time I told him off for being himself." Ginny sighed.

" I guess I've been a little selfish lately. I knew he had feelings for me, but I was making out with Tristen. It's just," Alexis paused momentarily. "He makes me feel real, like I'm worth all the trouble. But I didn't want you to get into a fight with `im."

"It had to happen sooner or later, why not sooner?"

"Well, did you see the look on his face?" They began to laugh as they began the climb on the second flight of stairs. To Ginny, the staircase went on forever. Step by step they neared the top.

"Ginny, I am sorry." Alexis hesitated a bit before continuing. "I don't think I like Harry anymore. I like Tristen."

"You don't see me complaining do you?" Ginny hesitated. "Don't you feel bad for making Harry hurt?"

Alexis smiled. "I don't think I've gotten the point across to you. I feel bad for making Harry hurt, but at the same time, I don't regret doing it."

"I think I understand."

"Do you?"

"I don't know." Ginny shifted her weight. "It's like me and Ron. I don't want to get him hurt, but sometimes it's necessary."

"Boys, they just never grow up."

"Isn't that why we still call them boys?"

"Yeah, I guess. Hey, I'm going to go find Tristen. And if you find us attached at the lips, separate us. I don't want this to be another fling."

"See you."

Alexis found Tristen in the library, reading a book on how to care for a unicorn.

"What are you reading that for?" She asked as she slid in an empty chair next to him.

"Kicks." He replied with a wide smile.

"Kicks?"

"Report."

"Ah."

"Yeah."

"So," Alexis shifted to her other side and smiled. "What do you want to do on our date tonight?"

"I'm taking you on a date tonight?"

"You are now."

"I see." Tristen replaced the book to its empty slot and walked over to the blushing Alexis. He wrapped his arms around her waist and they began to sway from side to side as if dancing to some invisible music. As he leaned forward, she slowly closed her eyes like those famous women in the movies. He put his hands on her back and their bodies gently touched as they embraced in a light, sentimental, kiss. As they pulled back, Alexis' eyes glowed as Tristen smiled in happiness as he hugged her and they walked down to the Astronomy tower, one leaning on the other.

"Ginny, do you remember what Ron said today in class?" Astella asked, referring to their Potions class, as she walked into the Common Room. Ginny was sitting in one of the red chairs, watching Dean and Seams go at it in a game of chess.

"You mean, 'I always remember when Harry's hair turned purple'?" Ginny smiled as she stood up and followed Astella to her room.

"No, about how he's looking for someone."

"Oh, that."

"Yes, that."

"Well, come Stella, you deserve better than… that."

"Oh, come on, Gins."

"Stella."

"What?"

"You deserve," Ginny paused as she saw the look in her friend's eyes. "Alright."

"Ginny, I love you!" Astella jumped up and hugged Ginny as she ran off in happiness towards the Great Hall.

"Thanks." Ginny said as she stood there.

"Gins!" Came Alexis' voice as she ran into the Common Room wit a grin from cheek to cheek.

"What?" Ginny asked as she looked up at her energetic friend from over her book.

"Reading again? Seriously, Gins, you have to get out more often! WE have to get out more often!"

"What do you have in mind?" Ginny asked with a suspicious look o her face. Obviously Alexis saw the look and smiled.

"Nothing to worry about! It's just a friendly little walk with the guys when we're off work."

"And when do you suppose we do this friendly little walk?"

"Tomorrow preferably, or never."

"Tomorrow? And with the guys." Alexis nodded her head with a pleading smile on her face.

"Please, Gins."

"Fine." As Alexis skipped off, Ginny whispered to herself, "I'm doing a lot of things for people now a days."
