The Unrequited Love Triangle
Chapter One
Harry looked down the Hogwarts corridor and saw Cho Chang walking down it. These days he wasn't sure whether he felt more happy or sad when he saw her. She looked very sad and looked like this a lot lately. Ever since the Triwizard cup when Voldermort had killed Cedric Diggory with the 'Avada Kedavra' curse Cho had been walking around in a zombie like trance with a look of such sorrow on her face it was heart wrenching. Harry had to admit that he was finding it hard to get over it himself but he wasn't as miserable as Cho seemed to be and, well he had been there when it happened. Harry knew looking at Cho go round the corridor corner he had no chance with her now. She was clearly way tootoo hung up over Cedric.
Harry decided too skip dinner and take a walk around the grounds. He wasn't that hungry anyway. By the time he headed back to Gryffindor common room it was already getting dark. He gave the Fat Lady the password (Bogart) and climbed through the portrait hole.
The common room was full of the usual evening noise and chatter and the warmth coming from the crackling fire was welcoming after his long walk in the grounds. Harry scanned the common room for his best friends Ron and Hermione but he couldn't find them spotted Ginny, Ron's little sister sitting in an armchair beside the fire and decided to ask if she'd seen them. He plopped down in the vacant armchair next to Ginny.
'Hey Ginny have you seen Ron or Hermione?'
'Well Ron has gone to bed with a headache and Hermione is in the library' '
Why didn't Ron just go to the hospital wing and get a potion for his headache?'
'Well I asked the same thing and he said he didn't want to look like a wimp'. Harry laughed in spite of his morose mood, that was such a typical Ron thing to do.
'Oh well never mind'
'Harry what's wrong?'
'Oh nothing really I just wanted someone to talk to that's all'
'Well you can talk to me you know' Ginny said looking a little defensive.
Harry had never really thought about sharing his feelings with Ginny before. Even though she was his best friends little sister he didn't really talk to her that much. What harm could it do though? Harry thought. Ginny seemed like a very understanding person, she even went with Neville to the Yule Ball when Hermione turned Neville down. She may even be able to help him.
'Well ok Ginny but you wont tell anyone will you' Harry was aphensive over sharing his feelings with someone outside his inner clique he vary rarely got advice from anyone other than Hermione, Ron and sometimes Hagrid.
'Of course not!' exclaimed Ginny. Harry decided to dive in before he changed his mind he was ususually a very private person but he felt that this time he needed to talk and he knew he could trust Ginny. ' Well its Cho...'
'Oh' Ginny said dully.
'What?' Harry askhers upraised at the tone of her response.
'Nothing' Ginny replied quickly. She still really liked Harry and hoped he had forgotton how weird she used to act around him. She had become more confident whilst he was around over the past couple of years. She had made herself stop being a quivering mess whenever he was around .
She was a little upset that he was still thinking about Cho Chang in that way but she decided that if she only could be his friend that would have to do. 'Carry on Harry like I said you can talk to me'
'Well it's just that I've liked her for a long while now but there is always something that stops me getting close to her. I don't even know if she would feel the same way about me if I did manage to get close. By the time I get the guts up to talk to her she will probably have another older better looking boyfriend. Its not been long since...well you know Cedric. I would like to ask her out but I really don't think she's over him yet'.
Harry spilled his feelings out quickly and was glad to get them off his chest. Ginny was great she just sat there listening and didn't interrupt him and just waited for him to finish speaking.
'I'm so confused I don't even know whether looking at her makes me happy or miserable anymore. I don't know what to do.'
Ginny thought carefully about what to say. It was hard to help him in this sort of way because she wanted him to like her but she told him what she thought about the situation as impartially as she could anyway.
'I think that asking Cho out would be a very bad idea i think you're right in thinking that she isn't ready for that yet. Maybe you should just try and be her friend.'
Harry tried to protest but Ginny stopped him.
'Just hear me out I know it would be hard just being her friend but that's what she needs right now. Besides being friends is better than nothing.' What she had just said made her feel weird this was a very, very similar situation to her and Harry but it was quite clear he only thought of her as his best friends little sister.
Ginny continued 'Besides you never know the friendship could grow really strong and she could start seeing you in a different light. You need to be positive don't put yourself down if Cho only goes for looks then she's not worth it and your nice good looking anyway.'
She blushed as Harry listened to her last words. Damn it why did I say that she thought. I should think more carefully before I speak. But Harry didn't seem to notice she had said anything embarrassing.
'Thanks Ginny you've been a great help and I'm really glad I talked to you, it's made me feel so much better'.
'I'm just glad I could help' Ginny smiled at Harry he grinned back.
Just then the portrait swung open and Hermione clambered in. 'Hi guys' she said.
'Hi Hermione' they both called back.
'Well I'm off to bed now' Harry said yawning. He looked at Ginny seriously 'thanks'
'Really it's no problem Harry, goodnight'
'Night' Hermione chorused.
Harry smiled as he walked to the dormitory he never knew how friendly Ginny could be she had really helped him out.
Hermione sat by Ginny. 'you two seemed to be getting on well' She said to Ginny grinning.
'I suppose so' she replied vacantly. The girls stood up and headed to their dormitories. If only it were that simple Ginny thought.
So just let me know what you think Good, Bad and changes you think I should make. I look forward to reviews. Please, Please review! Thanks!
