Ginny woke up the next morning at 5 o'clock A.M. She was still tired but felt like she couldn't sleep anymore. So she got up and put on her pink slippers. They were so old and worn out that they barely comforted her feet. She headed towards the window and sat down at the window seat. She looked out the window and saw that it was raining and thundering. She felt that this weather matched her mood perfectly. She watched as the rain hit the window. It looked like this was going to make her day even worse.

She felt so gloomy lately. Almost as though she had stopped living the day in the hallway. She should be feeling happy, even ecstatic because she was going out with Dean, but she wasn't particularly happy.

Dean! She was supposed to meet him in the common room this morning so that they could walk to breakfast together. Ginny glanced at her watch and saw that it was 7:30. She had been in such a daze that she had sat there for 2 and a half hours! She hurriedly took a shower and got dressed. She rushed down the spiral staircase. She saw Dean sitting in an armchair drumming his fingers lightly. He jumped up as she walked towards him.

"Sorry, I lost track of-" Ginny was cut off by Dean as he bent down and kissed her on the lips.

"Morning." Dean said as he pulled back and smiled.

"Morning." She responded.

"Are you hungry?" He asked as he took her hand and leaded her towards the portrait.

"Kind of. Well actually I'm starving." She said as she realized how hungry she really was. All that dazing must have built an appetite.

"Well I guess we're going to the right place then." He said smiling at her again. He was showing all of his straight, white teeth. This smile used to make Ginny smile back but for some reason it made her feel uneasy. He was always smiling, as though he knew something that you desperately wanted to.

They reached the Great Hall and headed towards the Gryffindor table. They sat down next to Seamus, who was sitting by none other then Harry. Harry took a quick glance at Ginny before returning to his eggs. Dean and Ginny said their hellos to Ron and Hermione, who were sitting by Harry. Ron still looked positively furious.

"Hogsmeade visit next weekend!" Seamus said happily, obviously not realizing the tension in the air.

"That's something to look forward to." Dean said giving Ginny a playful nudge.

Ginny gave a weak smile. She felt uncomfortable sitting so close to Harry while they weren't speaking to each other.

Just then someone yelled across the hall.

"Harry!" Everyone turned around to see Susan Bones walking towards them. "Do you want to go to the trip to Hogsmeade with me?" She asked while making her way to the Gryffindor table.

"Well I don't know." Harry said uncomfortably. He gave Ginny a quick glance. Dean had just given her a kiss. "Sure. Why not? Meet you in front of Zonko's?"

"Sure." Susan said before turning and heading back to her table. In Ginny's point of view she looked too overexcited. When she had reached her table she started whispering to her friends while they kept looking over at Harry.

"Nutters." Ron muttered before returning to his stare at Dean.

"Do you all want to meet up somewhere on Saturday?" Dean asked.

"Why not? How about at the Three Broom Sticks? At one?" Ron said obviously forgetting to be mad at Dean.

"Sure." Everyone agreed.

"What about you, mate?" Ron asked Harry, who had been the only one not to answer.

"Ron!" Hermione said giving him a nudge and shaking her head at Ginny in an obvious way.

"Oh, never mind. So how are classes going?" He asked trying to change the subject.

"What?" Dean asked confused.

"Oh, nothing." Hermione said quickly.

"Tell me." Dean said determined to find out what was going on.

"Really it's nothing. Marmalade?" Hermione asked.

But Dean wouldn't take nothing for an answer. "Is there something going on that I should know about? Ginny are you alright?"

Ginny and Harry had been silent the entire time.

"No I just... well... I just have to go." She stammered before getting up and leaving.

She was once again running away she realized. She was going to have to face this at some point. Harry was always at the Burrow during the summers and summer was just around the corner. She didn't want to feel uncomfortable in her own house.

She was just about to enter the common room when Hermione caught up with her.

"Ginny! Wait! Are you alright?" She asked finally catching up and wheezing for air.

"Yes." She lied.

"Ginny I'm not thick. I know something IS wrong. I never did find out what happened between you and Harry. He brushed me and Ron off when we asked." She said.

"It's a long story." Ginny sighed.

"I have time." Hermione eagerly said.

"It's very confusing Hermione." Ginny said trying to get off of the subject.

"I happen to like confusing subjects, Ginny." Hermione said. "And if you don't tell me then I'll have to make you tell me." She took out her wand and pointed it at Ginny.

Although Ginny knew Hermione wouldn't harm her she told her anyways.

Ginny told Hermione all about how Harry had said he hadn't felt anything all the way to the place in the Great Hall. Hermione had kept gasping and covering her mouth throughout the whole story.

"I can't believe... He said that?" Hermione questioned after Ginny was done talking.

"Unfortunately yes." Ginny said.

"That's why you've given up on him?" Hermione was acting as though she had enough questions to keep her and Ginny there all night.

"Yes. I've finally realized that it's time to move on. For good this time." She added thinking of all the times she "moved on" and all of the times she had turned down boys just for a stupid crush on Harry. But this wasn't a crush anymore. It was something more and she had to give up on it.

"But what if Harry really does like you?"

"He doesn't." Ginny said gloomily. "Anyways I'm already going out with Dean."

"Oh, right. I forgot about him." Hermione said with a disgusted face. "But you and Harry are meant to be together!"

"Why do you say that? You and Ron are meant to be together but you're not." Ginny said obviously saying something that hit a part of Hermione's heart that had been locked up.

"Me and Ron? Ginny you know perfectly well that Ron and I are not meant for anything more then a friendship. Besides the whole school knows that you and Harry are meant for each other. Well except Dean and Susan." She said.

"Hermione..." Ginny started but was cut off.

"Where is he?!" Ron yelled while coming into the room and looking around.

"Where's who Ron?" Hermione asked impatiently.

"You know perfectly well who I'm talking about. Dean!" He screamed.

"What? Why are you looking for Dean?" Ginny asked standing up.

"I can't tell you." Ron said before leaving.

"I wonder what's going on." Hermione said.

"Has something to do with me I suppose." Ginny said sitting back down.

"Well I'm going to go do some last minute work." Ginny said to Hermione before heading towards her dorm.

Obviously Ginny was in no mood to do homework, even if she had enough to last her a lifetime. She walked over to her window and sat down on the window seat. She was staring out the window when someone approached her window.
