A/N: Ok so I promised you a real chapter this time. Not a filler chapter or anything. This chapter actually goes with the main plot of the story. Hahahaha I keep getting attacked by plot bunnies!!!! *covers face* Ever time I listen to a song I come up with an idea for a fic! Grrr.. its really annoying! So anywho, I love all of my reviews and for those who don't like how long they are, chapter 9 and up will more likely be longer.

Title: "I'M FINE!!"

            Ginny and Draco took the news of Olympe and Hagrid's pregnancy very well. Although Ginny did seem a little down about not being a Godparent, she had said she understood. Harry was still worried about her. Around others she seemed enough of herself to fool them, but somehow Harry knew otherwise, but when Harry saw her alone (they lived on the same floor so it was sometimes impossible to avoid) she walked with her head down, unsmiling, and she looked rather too thin. Harry decided to see if Ron had any idea what was wrong with her.

            The next day Harry descended his staircase to the passage and took the door labeled "3rd Floor" and quickly located the door that read:

Ronald Weasley

Wizarding Sports History

            Harry opened the door and climbed the stairs to the next door and knocked.

            "Yeah!?!? 'S open!" came Ron's muffled voice from behind the door. Harry turned the knob and entered a bedroom very similar to his with the exception for the presents of several Quidditch posters, with their inhabitants zooming about on their brooms.

            Ron was situated on his bed concentrating on something Harry couldn't quite see, as he moved closer he saw what Ron was concentrating on was a laptop. (A/N: ok all you potential flamers, I know things like laptops don't work at Hogwarts, just deal with it ok, I was just thinking how funny it would be for Ron to try and use the internet. If you don't find it funny…then well, I'm sorry.)

            "Harry check this out mate!" Ron said ecstatically waving him closer. As Harry approached he saw Ron was in a chat room.

            "Where'd you get that Ron?" Harry asked curiously.

            "Hermione." He stated simply. "It's something she's showing her Muggle Studies class this term, she was showing this to me, this…this..intranit…. I think" He said crinkling his brow trying to remember.

             "You mean the Internet?" Harry suggested chucking.

            "Yeah, Yeah. That." He exclaimed excitedly. Suddenly a chiming came from the speakers. "Whoa!" Ron was startled by the sound. "That always gets me!" Ron said as he started chicken pecking the keyboard.

            "Ron you do realize you're talking (most likely) to Muggles? You wouldn't do anything dumb, like expose our world would you?" Harry asked concerned.

            "Oh yeah, Hermione explained it all." Ron said while still chicken pecking the keyboard. "But what I don't understand is why this bloody key…board…thingy… isn't in alphabetical order, it would be so much easier." Harry stifled a laugh.

            Harry suddenly remembered why he was there, and snapped the laptop shut.

            "HEY!" Ron said slightly miffed.

            "I gotta ask you something, mate." Harry said apologetically.

            "But I wasn't done!" Ron whined.

            "Its about Ginny." Harry went on ignoring Ron's protests.

            "What about her." Ron asked crossing his arms over his chest. "Wait. If you need advise about snogging her, you've come to the wrong place, mate."

            Harry went only the slightest bit red, he didn't know why. "No Ron. I haven't been snogging your sister. As a matter of fact she won't even let me with in a foot of her. She's been acting very funny lately, rather depressed I'd say."

            "I haven't noticed anything." Ron said calming down.

            "No I didn't think you had, I only really notice it when she's alone. I mean we live on the same floor and I keep seeing her alone. She just looks so unhappy." Harry explained.

            "Hmmm… I dunno mate." Ron said. "Maybe it's just nerves about the new term. I know I'm scared shitless."

            "Hmmm…" was Harry's only reply to this suggestion

            "You might ask Hermione, they still do their little 'girls night in' every now and then." Ron suggested.

            "Ok. Thanks Ron." Harry said rather disappointed, but still hopeful.

            Harry spent the next few hours with Ron trying to teach him about the internet. Every time a pop-up ad came on the screen he kept being startled. Harry found that one rather amusing.

            Harry's visit to Hermione went just as badly. He got no new information. Hermione's only advise was to try and gain her trust, and try the direct approach, again. Harry thought he had already gained her trust being her friend since he was about 16 years old. He wasn't sure trying the direct approach again would work but it was worth a shot.

***

            Until term started, the teachers were to go straight to the kitchens for meals when ever they fancied. A few days before the start of term feast, Harry had just finished planning the first half of the year for all of this 1-4 year students when is already empty stomach gave a particularly loud, and painful grumble. He closed his planning book and walked to the portrait of the bowl of fruit, and tickled the pare. Harry climbed through and saw Ginny sitting at a table alone, there were other teachers grouped at other tables. Harry spotted Draco at one of the, talking happily with another woman Harry had not seen, but since she was wearing uniform much like Madam Pompfy's, Harry presumed this was Eva Johnson. Harry caught his eye, pointed at Ginny with a questioning look. Draco just shrugged. Harry noticed most of the others were just finishing up and saw it was nearly 10:00. He sat down next to Ginny, and immediately was brought a plate full of food, by none other than Winky. She seemed to be doing much better since the last time he had seen her.

            "Hullo Ginny." Harry said brightly.

            "Huh? Oh. Hey Harry." She said dully.

            Harry waited until the other teachers had left, (waving at Draco and Eva as the left, Draco and pointed to her back and gave a thumbs up, and a grin) to make his move.

            "Ginny?" He eased in.

            "Yeah?" She said still picking at the same amount of food as was there 20 minuets ago.

            "You haven't touched your food." He said not wanting to be to direct.

            "Oh. I'm…Just not all that hungry. You want it?" She pushed it way from her.

            "No, no. I'm just worried about ya Gin.'" He put his hand on top of hers, and she jerked it way and held it in her lat and looked at it.

            "Ginny. Look at me, please?"

            She looked at him with just her eyes, she didn't lift her head. For just a second, before she looked away again.

            "Ginny, you would tell me if something was wrong wouldn't you? No matter what it was. You can trust me I promise." He said compassionately.

             "Look Harry! I'm fine! Would you drop it!?!" She yelled, angrily getting up and leaving her cold uneaten dinner. Harry watched her leave, and noticed she not only looked skinny but unhealthy skinny. Harry's eyes dropped, he felt very guilty right now. Then he saw it. Something had dropped out of Ginny's bag. It was a book. Harry picked it up. It read:

Journal

Property of:

Ginny Weasley

A/n: Ohhh…Cliffy! I haven't gotten that many reviews. I'm sorta sad about that, but oh well. Um…what to say here. I hope you liked the chapter, 9 will be coming soon. I have the house to my self all weekend so I should get most if not all of it done. I'm also really sorry if fanfiction.net doesn't support the font I used at the end (where it says, "Journal property of: Ginny Weasely) if they don't I will change it, and repost.  I have a personal response to a review, to:

Kim/WindyWandyWitch: thanks sooo much for your review. I don't know if there is much 'action' in this story. I don't much care for action, but I will try I promise. I did have a much better week, thank you. That bit in this chapter about Draco and Eva wasn't originally in the written version, that parts for you! You all only have to wait till Chapter 10 to see what up with Ginny. I'm sooooo glad you like my story. I beat myself up over my stories because, I don't think I'm a good writer. That's why I love review (hint! Lol)

Beta Note: Good Chapter. I don't think that I could find anything wrong. I know why Ginny is Bitchy :P Eek. Sorry. Now I better go write " I will not tease potential reviewers" on a chalkboard. It's my punishment. :(

I would also like to take the time to thank my beautiful beta Kristen. Her ff.net name is kneh13, go read her stories. They are very good! *huggles*
