Even though hardly anyone has reviewed chapter 5, I thought I'd make a
start on chapter 6 anyway!
Characters are all J.K.R except Albert who is definitely mine as is the plot!
Chapter 6.
The next morning found Harry and Ginny sitting together at breakfast at the Gryffindor table. They were deep in conversation. Ron glanced over at them suspiciously, unaware that he was the topic of their conversation.
"Hmm, they must have something really interesting to talk about" he grumbled to Hermione, missing the attention of one of his best friends "I don't know what's got into them lately"
"Maybe you should talk to them" Hermione replied distractedly "It's nothing to do with me" she said as she glanced in the direction of the Hufflepuff table.
Ron looked over in the same direction and was really quite disturbed by what he saw. Albert, who had been Hermione's date at Christmas, had recently been let out of the hospital wing having recovered from the whole tinsel incident. He was currently waving at Hermione in a disturbingly camp manner. This was not good for anyone, especially Hermione who had a reputation to maintain. Ron turned to Hermione,
"Blimey Hermione, what...."
He had a bit of a shock. To his great surprise, Hermione was waving back in a disturbingly girly way that reminded him of Mia when she had developed a crush on Harry in her third year.
"What is going on?" Ron asked himself "has the world gone mad?" He shook his head and stood up.
"Right, I'm off to Herbology now if anyone would like to join me" No response. Ron smiled evilly "Harry, the Cannons are coming to Hogwarts tomorrow and want you to join the team!"
Now that got a response.
"The Cannons? Tomorrow? Me?" Harry exclaimed
"Harry, don't be stupid! Anyway, they'd never accept you if you failed Herbology so get a move on"
"What about Hermione?" Harry asked, glancing to where Hermione set, as if in a trance.
"Hermione" said Ron "You're failing Herbology"
"W-what?" Hermione stammered.
"Come on you daft girl, you will if you don't go to the lessons" Ron laughed as she punched him playfully.
Harry glanced behind him at Ginny as they headed off. She returned his smile with another, reassured that they would get through this.

In the deserted music room, Ginny sighed as she put together her flute, thinking about how things were going with Harry and Ron. He had promised to tell him today. She trusted him to do it but she couldn't help worrying. She relaxed as she brought her flute up to her lips and blew air through it, playing a few scales to warm up. She smiled happily to herself, launching into a lullaby. This was when she was happy, for some reason, music took everything away with it, like a release. She let the music flow over her, washing away all the troubles of the day. Sometimes she just couldn't understand how people managed with out music as a release. After a while, she was distracted by a gentle knock on the door and came back down to earth with a bump.
"Come in" she replied, thinking it was Harry
The door opened with a bang which made her jump, and there before her stood Ron.
"R-Ron."
"Hello Ginny, expecting someone else were you?"
"No, I."
"Why Ginny, I mean, of all people, it just had to be him. Anyone else I would have been able to hit more easily, anyone but Harry."
"I., you hit Harry?!" She exclaimed
"What else could I do? I mean, you could at least have had the decency to tell me. It wasn't exactly nice hearing it from Malfoy."
"Malfoy told you? Harry was going to..
"Whatever Ginny. It's too late now."
"But you hit Harry." She stammered, still getting over the shock.
"I had no choice Ginny, you're my sister. I have to look out for you, you're only fifteen."
"Exactly!" she burst out "I'm fifteen, I'm not a little girl anymore so don't treat me like I am. Why can't you treat me like an adult? If everyone else can, why can't you?!"
"Look, I don't want to see you get hurt. I saw it all happen with Harry and Hermione, I can't see you go through that when you break up. Stay loyal to your blood and you won't get hurt and I won't have to pick up the pieces. Choose Harry and don't expect me to be there when it all goes wrong and falls apart. Make your choice Ginny."
With that, Ron turned his back on her and stalked out, slamming the door behind him.
Ginny's head was swimming, she couldn't understand what was going on, what had just happened. She felt herself drowning, drowning as darkness swallowed her.
There you go, next chappie! PLEASE review coz only 2 people reviewed last chapter!
