Chapter 9: Second

~~~~~

Harry woke up the next morning, his legs were still sore and his arms were stiff but he was smiling but he couldn't remember why. 'Oh yeah,' Harry recalled as he rolled over and stretched. 'Ginny said she was jealous of Kiki, because of me!' Harry rolled out of bed, grabbed his clothes and made his way to the shower, clad only in his rubber ducky boxers.

Throughout the shower Harry couldn't help of thinking of Ginny. When he lathered the shampoo in his Harry he couldn't help but get a mental image of Ginny's long red locks, or when the smell of ocean breeze body wash made Ginny's breathtaking smile flash in his mind's eye.

Harry pulled on clothes and made his way out of the bathroom after taking one last look at his reflection. He made his way to the common room to find a crimson Gryffindor pillow being wrapped around a messy blond head. Harry walked over to find Colin standing above Kiki with his arms closed. He looked like a disappointed father.

"Will you ever drink again?" Colin asked Kiki, making sure to over pronounce syllables.

"Yes," Kiki moaned softly, her knuckles white from clutching the fluffy fabric of the pillow.

"Will you ever even THINK about drinking again?" Colin growled.

"Never!" Kiki moaned, clenching on to the ears to muffle all sound.

Colin stomped, rather loudly Harry thought, to Kiki and held out a vial, she reached for it but he pulled it away at the last second. "I guess I can give this to you then, as long as you promise me you will never think about drinking alcohol again."

"I promise," Kiki sighed, she looked even beautiful when she was in agony. Colin handed her the vial and she took the entire thing in one sip.

Harry walked over to Colin, "What's going on?"

Colin, arms still crossed smiled sadly, "Hangover." It was all explained in one simple word. Harry nodded and walked over to Kiki and sat next to her.

She had on a relieved smile and looked over at Harry. "I am never drinking whatever Seamus gives me ever again!" Harry smiled and waited until Colin left the room.

"It worked!" Harry exclaimed, facing Kiki.

"Of course it did, Ginny made the potion." Kiki said, pulling out her compact and fixing her tousled hair.

"No," Harry sighed, "IT worked, Ginny is jealous of you!" Harry grinned and leaned back, bending his arms behind his head and crossing his ankles on the coffee table in front of him.

"No?" Kiki asked appalled. "Why?" She added nonchalantly.

"I think that my name may have popped up." Harry informed.

"Really?" Kiki wondered, "Did she say she likes you."

Harry took his feet off the tabled and set his hands back in his lap, "Maybe the idea of me."

"Oh, so what do you want to do?"

Harry pondered this for a moment, half of him wanted to run upstairs in his tube socks and snog Ginny, but the other half wanted to make sure she liked him. "We need to break up," Harry said, it was a lot easier to say than he thought it would be.

"Ok," Kiki said simply.

"Alright," Harry added, he felt disconnected to Kiki all of a sudden, like she was no longer the fun girl he had gotten to know over the past week. A wall had been torn down between then and now it was being put back up.

"Just do one thing for me," Kiki sighed.

"What's that?" Harry question.

Kiki smiled, "Tell Seamus he should ask me out."

Harry's jaw dropped but he nodded.

~~~

Harry didn't kiss Kiki on the cheek the next morning but he sat with her, they decided that they would pull and huge break up scene in the Common room at lunch time. Which came too soon, to Harry.

He felt bad for pulling Kiki and making her help but apparently she only agreed to get closer to Seamus, poor dear didn't realize that Harry and Seamus weren't that close.

Harry gave Kiki a cold shoulder and decided to add a few glares every now and then. As Ginny's friends and the trio departed up stairs to the Common room, Harry and Kiki stomped up the steps as if they were walking away from each other in the same direction.

When they got to the Common Harry and Kiki stopped in the center and faced each other, it was almost as if you expected them to play the mirror game. "This isn't going to work." They both said.

"Its not you, is me." Harry stated.

"We can still be friends," Kiki offered.

"But," Harry said, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Its over." They both nodded, shook hands and walked up their own steps to their dorms. Harry ran quickly, pulling off his shoes, once he made it to his own room. He grabbed his invisibility cloak and threw it over himself.

Harry ran down the boy's steps and up the girls, heart racing so fast he almost needed to stop. He made it to Kiki's dorm just before she closed the door. Harry was slowly behind her and noticed Ginny was in the room as well. Harry stuck a finger out and poked his ex in the back to let her know he was in there.

"That was sudden." Ginny whispered.

"Yeah," Kiki said, boredom, once again, seeping through her pores.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Ginny offered.

"Nothing to talk about." Kiki gave her a weird look. Harry was getting upset. 'There is something to talk about!' He thought savagely. 'Me!'

"Sure there is," Ginny said. Harry silently thanked her.

"Harry?" Kiki supplied.

"If you want to talk about Harry, that is." Ginny said shyly, trading her hogwarts sweater for a Weasley jumper.

Kiki rummaged through her drawers and pulled out a clean pair of socks and began working on taking off her shoes while replying, "Oh, its nothing we just didn't feel right."

"Feel right?" Ginny asked sitting on the same bed Kiki was sitting on to put on her gray knee socks.

"Well," she said, one sock on one off. "Harry was great, really, but," she moved her hands around like her palms were a balance, "me and him aren't MORE than friends, you know." Ginny raised a cute, confused eyebrow. Kiki rolled her bored eyes, "You know, that feeling when the right guy holds you or kisses you, mind you he was a pretty good kisser."

Harry couldn't help but blush at that. "We agreed," Kiki said, "that there are other people out there for us, we even shared with each other who they are." Kiki smiled.

"Who are they?" Ginny asked, the urgency in her voice.

Kiki slowly pulled on the other sock. "Well, I told him that Seamus Finnigan stuck my fancy," Ginny looked as though she didn't care about that. Kiki continued. "It didn't shock me one bit when he told me that he had a crush on a certain best friend of mine."

"Really? Who?" Ginny asked nonchalantly.

"Who do you think?" Kiki asked, Harry quickly noticed the evil twinkle in her dark blue eyes. "Kyan, of course!"

Ginny cracked up laughed and Kiki couldn't help losing her recently acclaimed cool, clam attitude and giggling with her. She really did let Ginny know that it was her whom Harry fancied.
