Ferret in the Burrow - Chapter 4 - Why me?

Sunday rolled around. It was getting colder outside which meant that fall was in the air. The time for school was beginning to roll close by.

The group headed into Diagon Alley early Sunday morning. It was pretty deserted. There were a few people shopping, but usually people waited until the back-to-school sales which came like two weeks before school started, which was why they were waiting until those two weeks. They were there for the sole purpose of seeing whatever items that were left in Sirius's vault.

They headed into Gringotts and a goblin by the name of Clawcut lead them into Sirius's vault. Once inside they looked around and there wasn't that much money, just a few personal items. Things that he kept from the days of the marauders. Each one had a little note on them directed to Harry. He obviously never thought he was ever going to use them before he died.

Ginny walked over to a motorcycle that was Sirius's. She read the note.

Harry,

You be careful on this thing. Normally I would probably give this to Lupin, but it would gather dust in his shed I'm sure. Just stay safe on it, I don't want you getting hurt at my expense.

-- Sirius.

Ginny smiled and continued on.

"Hey! He left you the deed to Grimmauld Place!" Ron stated looking at Harry who was looking at a particular album of pictures in the corner. Ginny was closest to Harry. She walked over to look at the album with him.

"Whatcha looking at?" she asked.

"Pictures," Harry answered, "Of my parents wedding." Ginny looked into the book.

"Oh wow! You're mum looks so pretty in this one," Ginny said pointing out one of the pictures. "She looks so happy. And your dad looks just like you!" Ginny giggled causing Harry to smile a bit.

"Yeah?" Harry asked.

"Totally identical. Shaggy hair and all..." She smiled at him and felt her tummy do flip-flops as he gazed back at her.

"Gin, I--"

"Harry!" Mrs. Weasley called coming over, "We can have this stuff moved into your vault if you wish?"

"No, I think I'd like to keep it in here. If that's okay? Can I do that?"

"Yes of course," Mrs. Weasley smiled.

"I think I'll take this with me, though," Harry said closing the photo album.

"Alright then. I guess that's we've seen it all then? Harry?"

"Yep," he replied.

"Okay then. What's say we go out to eat today. Sound good everyone?" They all replied with a 'yes' and then they left the vault.

They decided to eat lunch at the Black Cat Cafe. The teens sat at a booth and the parents sat in a separate booth. They sat discussing the stuff in the vault.

"Did you see the size of his wizards card collection!" Ron exclaimed, "He has some cards that you can't even get anymore. One of his cards is only one of the 10 they made!" Ginny laughed at Ron. She looked over at Harry. He was looking at her again and then he would immediately look away from her. This was the third time this happened since they sat down.

"Did you see the motorcycle?" Ginny asked, "It was gorgeous. Looked almost new!" Their food came during the middle of their conversation and they began eating.

Another week went by, and Ginny felt things get a bit more weird. For one Harry was always talking to her suddenly. She would catch him looking at her every once in a while. She would pretend not to notice, but it stayed in her mind. And two, Draco was acting really depressed lately. He hardly talked, not even to throw a smart remark at Ron about how stupid he was when he nearly caught fire trying water the plants and accidentally said the wrong spell.

She was sitting on the couch with Draco one day. They were both really quiet, Draco was finishing and essay and Ginny was reading an Issue of Witch Life.

"Hey, Ginny," Harry said, sitting down in the chair next to them.

"Hey," Ginny smiled at him. "What's up?"

"Not much," Harry said.

"Cool," Ginny nodded. There was silence between them as the nodded nervously looking around, unsure of what to say.

"Oh for Merlin's sake!" Draco stormed, standing up. "Just tell her you love her already, Potter. Honestly!"

"Draco!" Ginny yelled astonished, "Why would you say that..." She was blushing, she could feel it.

"You can't tell me you didn't know," Draco hissed, "You've liked him for how long and you can't tell what Potter's moods are! I can and I hate him! It is completely obvious that you two have both changed roles. Ginny is The Clueless Wonder and Potter the Stalker Freak." Draco looked down at both of them as they both looked up at him in shock.

"Just get together and get it over with before I get sick all over the both of you." Draco grabbed his homework. "I'll be in my room," he said and then left. Harry looked over at Ginny, but Ginny still seemed a bit flabbergasted.

"He's right you know," Harry stated, "I do...like you." Ginny looked at him and he went a bit pinkish.

"Harry..." Ginny said. She looked down. "I don't know...what to say."

"You can say...you like me," Harry smiled. Ginny looked up and half-smiled back at him.

"I don't know how I feel anymore," Ginny stated.

"Oh," Harry said.

God, could this be the worst time to not like Harry and have him like me back, Ginny thought, He's been through a bunch of shit just now and now I have to tell him I'm not sure if I like him anymore. Maybe I should just go out with him...oh but that would be out of pity and if he found out he'd hate me. Maybe I should just be honest. Stupid Malfoy. Couldn't he just shut his big fat mouth.

"Harry, maybe we should wait things out. Maybe this is just a phase. Maybe you're in just a phase."

"I think I love you, Ginny," he stated seriously.

Damn it, she thought, of course you bloody do. What to do? What to do? Just stay calm. She bit her lip nervously.

"You like Malfoy, don't you?" Harry finally asked.

What!?!?!

"I thought you might."

What the heck would give you that idea!?!?!

"I mean you two are always talking..."

So....

"I thought you might already be together, but apparently not."

And I thought you were sane...but apparently not.

"Anyway, I guess I'll leave you to think about that. I just wanted to let you know how I felt." Harry shrugged and then left.

Me like Malfoy? Ew gross! Yeah right. Sooo not me. He's thinking of...someone else. Obviously not me. Ginny thought things through for a second. Just because we talk a lot. That doesn't mean anything. She gasped! What if Malfoy likes me! Get a grip of yourself! He does not! But what was with that outburst there... He was just sick of your cat and mouse games with Harry. My life is completely and utterly coming to a weird place.
