I got off Harry's lap and walked towards the door.
Harry followed me on to the platform and we met up with Ron, Hermione, the other Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.
We split up and got into carriages talking and chatting about anything.
Harry wouldn't look or even talk to me. He just stared at the floor. Ron chatted noisily to Hermione who could tell something was wrong between us two.
We arrived at Hogwarts and I felt a flow of regret as I saw Harry's miserable face.
The password to the Gryffindor common room spread all round the Gryffindor years outside the castle.
It reached my ears and I wrote it quickly on the back of my left hand before I ran to Gryffindor tower.
"Why what's the matter dear?" asked the fat lady.
"Nothing." I sobbed. "'Go go Gryffindor!'"
"OK. Dear. If you need me just send Sienna." said the fat lady kindly.
She let me through and I collapsed in tears on a comfy chair near the fire.
I felt like such a rat kissing Harry when Draco was fighting for me.
But I felt even worse that Harry had finally told me after all these years how he felt about me.
I heard the portrait hole open behind me.
Hermione came in and knelt by my side.
"Ginny, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing. Really." I sniffed through my tears.
"Come on. You can tell me, this is Herms your friend." smiled Hermione passing me a tissue.
"Well, I kissed Harry while we were on the train. He admitted to loving me and I told him I still loved him." I said trying to calm down.
"Whoa that's big," said Hermione wiping away some tears.
"I know. But I feel awful because I've been going out with Draco and lying to myself when I really wanted Harry." I said taking down my hair so it would cover my red tear stricken face.
"Ginny. Its OK." soothed Hermione.
"Thanks Hermione. How could you tell something was wrong?" I asked.
"Call it a girls intuition." smiled Hermione putting a loose piece of my amber hair behind my right ear.
We chatted for a while before Sirius (or rather his head) arrived in the fireplace.
"Hermione. Ginny where's Harry?" asked Sirius looking round the empty common room trying to find him.
"Probably still down in the great hall." smiled Hermione noticing I didn't want to talk about Harry.
"Erm Herms I'm just going to hang out in my room for a bit." I said getting up.
I saw Sirius look questioningly look at me then Hermione.
"I didn't interrupt anything did I?" asked Sirius.
"Ginny sit. You might feel better if you tell an adult." said Hermione pushing me back into my seat.
"I don't think so Herms. Especially not a guardian of one of the boys." I said getting embarrassed since I didn't know Sirius very well.
"Does this have some thing to do with a certain Harry James Potter?" asked Sirius looking a bit surprised.
"Erm...." I blushed furiously.
Hermione gave me a death look.
"OK. It does." I said staring down at my hands.
"Hermione do you think you can go get Harry? I'll talk with Ginny," said Sirius with a wink.
Hermione nodded and left the common room.
I looked up and saw Sirius' concerned face looking down on me.
"Ginny want to tell me what's going on or do I have to ask Harry?" asked Sirius.
I sighed and explained everything that had happened.
Sirius listened like a friend and nodded like he understood.
At the end I burst into tears and sat with a ratty old tissue dabbing my red raw eyes.
"Ginny its OK. You have to tell them how you feel." said Sirius his eyes glistening with understanding.
"I...I can't do it Sirius. Draco will never forgive me." I said tossing my tissue away.
"Yes you can Ginny and you have to," said Sirius with determination.
I sighed.
"I guess your right." I said.
Herms came into the common room at that minute with Harry behind her.
I got up from my chair and Harry's eye caught mine. I smiled shyly and said " Talk to you later. OK?"
Harry nodded.
Hermione sat down in my chair and I walked to my room.
I sat on my bed and eventually fell asleep.
Harry followed me on to the platform and we met up with Ron, Hermione, the other Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.
