Chapter 6: I write stories, not chapter headings.
Harry ran up the stairs towards his common room, hoping to catch up to Ginny. He knocked over a boy he had never seen before, and pulled him up. "Sorry" Harry said breathlessly. "No problem" said the boy. "Hey, do you know were the er. the Great hall is? I'm supposed to get sorted" The boy looked much to old to be in the 1st year, he looked Harry's age. "er.. Aren't you in 5th year?" Harry asked. "Oh, yeah, but I only just got my letter. I transferred from a Wizarding school last year, I supposedly have the qualities to go to Hogwarts" The boy beamed as he said this. Oh, well its straight down those stairs and through the big doors, you can't miss it" "Cheers" The boy replied, and raced off. Harry continued up the stairs glumly, knowing that if Ginny had gone to her dorm she would already be there by now. But he couldn't just leave her crying. Once Harry reached the common room (I know I know, he didn't know the password. he just blackmailed the fat lady with a slim fast ok?) and looked around. Ginny was obviously in her dorm. Knowing very well that the stairs would shift to a slide if he ran up them, he still attempted to. As he felt the stairs move beneath his feet he felt the same surge of energy when he was saving Ginny, and raced up the remaining steps before he could slip down. Confused and in awe of himself, Harry searched the dorms for Ginny, thinking he would ask a teacher about it later. He came across a room with the unmistakable scent of Ginny's perfume, and peered into the room. It seemed much nicer than one of the boys dorms, and would have been easily recognizable as a girls dorm, as little female touches could be spotted here and there. He saw one of the beds had the hangings pulled around them. "Ginny?" Harry called. He could here her crying stop as he drew near. "er. were gonna miss the feast if we don't hurry" Harry said lamely, scratching the back of his neck. Still no answer. "Ginny. I . I really like you, and. idontlikecho". Harry said the last bit very fast and listened for an answer. For the second time that day Harry found himself on the floor with Ginny on top of him. "Oh Harry, I'm sorry for running off like that. you keep helping me.I don't know how to repay you" She hugged Harry tightly. Down in the great hall, Harry and Ginny rushed to the seats next to Ron and Hermione. Ron seemed to be struggling not to burst into a fit of rage as he saw them coming in together. Surprisingly, the sorting was still going on. The 1st year must be a big one this time. "McCairney, Sarah" Mrs McGonagal called out. "listen Ron, your going to have to calm down." Hermione whispered to Ron, so that Ginny or Harry couldn't hear. "Its obvious they like each other, and there's nothing you can do about it. Harry's your friend, surely you'd prefer him going out with Ginny than anyone else, you can trust Harry" "O'Connell. Joseph" (MUA HA HA! I AM FAMOUS!) Interrupted Hermione as she lectured Ron. Harry looked up and saw the boy he had bumped into in the corridors. As Harry clapped with the rest of them as Joe was placed into Ravenclaw, Harry felt quite disappointed that he had not joined the Gryffindors. Harry couldn't quite tell what exactly, but something was odd about that bloke.
