Chapter 6: The Good, The Bad And The Sarah.
"Ginny. Gin wake up. I want to show you something."
I opened my eyes and found myself where I had been before I had fallen asleep; I noticed that my grip had slacked on Harry so I grabbed tight hold of him again. He laughed slightly.
"It's ok Ginny. I'm here. Look." He said pointing out to the horizon.
What I saw made me gasp. Harry had woken me up at four in the morning to show me a sunset that was coming up at seven.
"It's.beautiful for lack of a better word." I said in awe. It really was amazing. All the yellows and oranges mixed together. I leant my head against Harry's shoulder and he leant his head on mine. I was surprised at how comfortable I felt at first. It wasn't every day that I crept out and watched sunrises with boys and actually felt comfortable with them. I smiled to myself. Then I remembered.
"Why Harry, did you get me up at four o'clock if this is what you wanted to show me?" I asked looking at him. He grinned.
"Just wanted to see if you were a morning person." He said winking at me.
I shoved him and he looked at me,
"We don't want a repeat of this morning do we?" he asked raising an eyebrow.
"You said you won't let me fall." I said standing up carefully.
"I wont." He said, looking at me,
"Then we have nothing to worry about do we?" I said, winking at him this time and making my way down the side of the tower and out of sight.

I was the first one to breakfast out of the Gryffindors. Seeing as I was up so early I figured to just go back to my dorm and get dressed for school. I crept around quietly so that I didn't wake up my fellow sixth years. I knew that if I did I'd have a lot of explaining to do and I didn't even think that I could explain what had happened to myself.
I sat with my chin on my hand, as I was deep in thought. I was broken out of it however my none other than Draco Malfoy. Just what I needed another encounter with the blonde bombshell I thought sardonically as he walked up to our table. I hid the smirk on my face as he approached.
"Ginny."
Oh how weird. He actually called me Ginny.
"Ferret." I said bobbing my head slightly.
Interesting. Even after all this time that name still makes him flinch.
"Have you thought anymore about my offer?" He said looking at the Gryffindor table with disgust.
"Yes actually. The answer is still the same as it was before. No." I said smiling sweetly at him.
Naturally, he wasn't too impressed.
Harry walked in at that moment and smiled at me but scowled when he saw whom I was talking too. He came over and placed his arm protectively around my waist.
"All right Gin?" he asked looking pointedly.
"Yes I'm fine. Actually though, you might be able to help me explain something to dear Draco here. You see Draco. Harry. This wonderful person standing next to me is my Boyfriend. As in, my partner. I like Harry," I said stressing the like.
" You however, I do not like. So no I will not go to the ball with you. Do you understand that now?
He scowled at me so I spoke again.
"Good." I said looking up at Harry and giving him a kiss on the cheek, just for the point of annoying Draco.
"Is he gone?" I asked not looking behind me. Harry looked up and nodded.
'Well done Weasley."
"Thanks Potter." I said sitting back down in my spot.
"So what amazing lessons do you have today?" I asked him, taking a bite toast.
"Potions, Herbology, Care Of Magical Creatures, then I have a free lesson because McGonagall is sick. Poor thing." He added as an after thought.
"Yes, poor McGonagall, I said raising an eyebrow at him in disbelief.
"What's poor about McGonagall?" a voice asked from behind me. I cringed inwardly. That voice could only belong to one person.
"Sarah, hi. Didn't see you there." Harry said, grinning at me. I almost rolled my eyes. Thinking that this was the exact same thing that had happened between the three of us a week ago.
"So, you two are going out? I thought you said you weren't?" she said glaring at me.
'Well we weren't, but what you said got us thinking, we were acting like we were going out and we realised that we did like each other, so why not?" I said making pathetic googly eyes at Harry and smiling my brightest smile at Sarah. "Where have you been lately? Everyone's been talking about it for a week already." I said, reaching for Harry's hand. He looked down at our hands in surprise then interlocked our fingers.
"I've been in the Hospital Wing actually." She said snootily.
"Oh whoops. What happened?" I asked, not giving a flying hippogriff what had happened.
"My friend accidentally cursed me with having blue hair and red eyes and green skin. It was awful!" she said looking at Harry for sympathy. I however was having an extremely hard time to stop myself from laughing. I would have payed a lot of galleons to see that!
"Oh! I'm so terribly sorry!" I said when I could trust myself to talk again.
"It's quite all right." She said dismissively, quite obviously eyeing off my boyfriend. I mean, eyeing off Harry.
"So," she said, sitting down between us and breaking my contact with Harry." Are you going to the ball Harry?"
Of course he is, he's going with me, you stupid.witch.
"Now that you mention it, yeah I suppose I am."
"Save me a dance Harry." She said standing up.
"Will do." He said smiling at her.
Once she left I went into my own little rendition of their future together.
"Oh Harry! Won't you run away with me so we can get married and have lots of little kids with messy blonde hair?"
"Of course Sarah dear! I'll do anything for you. Just buy me a leash so I don't dare wander!" I said in a deep voice, much like Harry's, which caused him to laugh.
"Not jealous are you Gin?" he asked me, letting go of my hand.
"Of her? Not a chance." I said stabbing my fork into my eggs.
***
"Ginny!" I heard a voice call out to me across the school grounds. I looked up, though I didn't need too.
"Harry!" I mocked. I really shouldn't do that. I'm going to get myself into trouble one day.
Harry ran towards me, his arms stretched out. I stood where I was and as soon as he got close enough, I ducked sideways and Harry kept running. He soon stopped and ran back towards me.
"We have to break up." He said grinning at me.
"Usually when someone says that, they don't look so happy." I said, in my defence, it was the first thing that came into my head.
"I've just been talking to Sarah and she said that she wasn't going to ask anyone to the dance because the person she wanted to go with was taken! I know she meant me. Ginny this is what we did this for."
"Yeah. Yeah we did. " What did he want me to say?
"Ok then see you later then."
"What? That's it. You say we have to break up then walk away? Nothing more said?"
"Well what else needs to be said?"
I sighed.
"Nothing. I had fun being you're puppet I really did. See you around Harry. I hope you have fun with her." I said spitting out the last word.
"Ginny! It was a scam, you knew that. There were no real feelings involved."
"Oh sure there weren't. Only mine but I forgot, they don't matter."
"Of course you matter Gin." Harry said taking a step closer to me. I stepped back in turn and turned away from him, an onset of tears only so far away.
"Goodbye Harry." I said as harshly as I could manage which I'm sure in reality wasn't much harsher than a whisper.

A/N: I wrote this story like, two weeks ago so I can barely remember it, so I just read over this chapter and I surprise myself! It's like, I actually wrote this?! Shocker.lol.
To my reviewers:
DoubleMintBella : I agree, they are the perfect couple. Some people say that the only reason people put Harry and Ginny together is because they can't think of anyone else to go with Harry. To me that's not true because if that were the case, I'd stick him with Cho. I did that in my very first Harry fic, (one that will stay in the depths of my cupboards. I wouldn't push that story on anyone!) and it just wasn't right. We don't know enough about Cho. So Ginny is obviously the right choice. =)
Lyeza Hey! Glad you like my story. (I think I say this to everyone lol.) All the chapters will be narrated by Ginny; I find it easier to write from a girl's point of view, for the sole fact that I am a girl so it's just easier! Hope you don't mind. Keep reading! =)
REALbluelightsaber Each one of your 'reallys' made me feel even better about my story! Thanks for that lol. Glad you are enjoying it. Possibly as much as I enjoyed writing it!
Froggyy1 Heh. My story's cute! Yay! Go me lol. I really really wish that I could tell you about the whole letter thing but you'll have to keep reading to find out for yourself. Only problem is, you don't find out until just about the end as to who it is! I'm mean like that. Let's just say.it's not who you expect. That's the most I can say. =(.
LadyA I'm glad you like the way that I've portrayed Ginny. She gets a little feisty later on. Lol I just hope that I've kept her acting the same the whole way through. I think I did, because I spent a solid week on this story, without interruptions. If I have interruptions, my stories tend to get a little weird and off topic. But rest assured, this one is ok. =)
Harsh Yes, Harsh, I promise you will find out who Gin's admirer is. Not for a while yet. A lot of things will happen before you find out.
HopefulTears Exactly! Where would we be without a fluffy helping of mush?! Gotta have the mush and the fluff! Lol.
Ok. So I hope that I have answered a few more people's questions about my story. I hope you like the twists and turns that are going to happen from now on. (At least I think it's from now on, I can barely remember what happens! Lol) so read and review guys. I'm really happy about all the reviews I got! I certainly didn't expect them all! It's spurring me on to update more and you wouldn't want to stop that now would you?! Lol
Nesserz.
