Alright. I know I haven't updated for over three weeks so if you want you
can kill me, although if you do that then I won't update again ever and
I'll come back and haunt you. Anyway last chapter I used the cat's POV
because I couldn't think of any chapter plots but I have one now, yay. On
with the story.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
CHAPTER 7
Over the next week Ginny spent a lot of time with Harry. Doing homework, playing chess, stopping smudge being squashed by Crookshanks and working out new quidditch moves to catch out unsuspecting Slytherins. Harry was grateful for her company since Ron and Hermione spent most of their time together now and Harry and Ginny had become good friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Harry."
"Hey." Harry gestured for Ron to sit down. "What's up?"
"Nothing. Why would you think that?" Ron replied in a much higher voice that intended, as if nervous about something. Harry gave him a knowing look until Ron sighed and said, "Okay, fine you got me." Ron suddenly looked angry.
"Just tell me Ron. I'm not going to blow your head off whatever it is . . . hey that sounds cool. D'you reckon Hermione knows a spell I could use?"
"No she doesn't! Um . . . anyway, it's Hogsmeade this weekend, you know for Christmas and me and 'Mione are going, you know like as our first, um, date, you don't mind do you?" Ron scrunched up his face in preparation for his head being blown off.
"Chill out. I told you I don't know any spells, I was going to ask Hermione remember?" Harry said reading Rons face. "Of course I don't mind you pillock. I said I didn't last weekend. Don't worry, I'll find someone to go with. Just enjoy yourselves yeah?"
"Cheers mate. And, you know it won't happen every time Hogsmeade is on. You're still our best friend."
Harry grinned. "I know Ron. Now get lost."
"See ya." Harry watched Ron out of the portrait hole in the direction of the library, where Hermione was. Harry laughed and then sat looking at his potions textbook trying to think about anything but the fact that his best friends were now more than friends which made him the odd one out.
Harry shook his head to clear his mind of these horrible thoughts and focussed on his 3 foot parchment potions essay that was due in at the end of the week.
*********************///////////////////////////////**********************
Friday, 8.38pm, 13 hours 22 minutes till Hogsmeade Situation: NO ONE TO GO WITH!
Harry sat by Gryffindor fireplace with his head in his hands. "No, no, no, no, no. Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot." He had been around loads of people this week with invitations to go with him to Hogsmeade. Anyone he knew, that wasn't a Slytherin, he had asked. He wanted to prove to himself that he wasn't totally repulsive to girls but he wasn't having any luck. They all had dates already. He almost made one mistake by going to ask Cho Chang when he saw her in the corridor but was stopped by his common sense before she saw him.
Ron and Hermione tried to convince Harry to go with them but Harry had found out how to blow up their heads with one simple wand flick.
Harry had given up finding someone to go with and decided to stay at the tower and have his forehead be the main attraction for the day.
"Hey Harry." The sweet and spicy voice startled Harry out of his reverie. He jerked his head up to see the glowing, freckled face of Ginny Weasley. It was the best thing he had seen all day. "What's wrong? It's not your . . . scar, is it?" She finished on a whisper and a glance around seeing who was in the room.
"No. It doesn't hurt much anymore. Just tingling most of the time. No, it's not my scar." Harry stopped to thin. "I'm just gonna stay here tomorrow instead of going to Hogsmeade on my own."
"What are you talking about? You can't stay here . . . or go on your own. Why don't you come with me and Dean? I'll need your help with his Christmas present anyway. Fifteen years of hopping for boys and you'd think I would have it sussed by now." She said laughing.
"I couldn't do that. I mean, you're gonna want to do date stuff, aren't you? Don't worry about it. I mean I already have all your Christmas presents. No. I have a lot of holiday work so I'll start that to free up some more of my holiday." Harry replied. Ginny just stood above him with a smile on her angelic face and her hands on her hips.
"I know how to blow up heads too you know?" Harry laughed. "You are going to come with us. Anyway, me and Dean don't do 'date' stuff. You're coming Harry. End! Of! Story!"
"But. . ."
"Ahh! I said you're coming and if you argue I won't give you your Christmas present."
"You got me a Christmas present?" Harry said surprised.
"Of course I did. Was it my imagination or did you buy me a kitten for my recent birthday?"
"You really didn't need to. . ."
"Hello gorgeous. Where have you been? Hi Harry." Dean came up to them, placed a kiss on Ginny's cheek and interrupted Harry's sentence.
"Hi. Sorry Harry, what were you saying?"
"Um, I just said that you don't have to get me a Christmas present. And I would love to come with you. Thanks."
"Good."
"I'm gonna go take a shower. See you later, okay?" And Harry walked away up the boys' staircase.
"Where's he going with you?"
"Huh? Oh he's going to Hogsmeade with us tomorrow. You don't mind do you?" Ginny looked up hopefully.
"Mind? OF COURSE I MIND GINNY!" Dean bellowed in her face.
"WHAT!? I THOUGHT YOU WOULDN'T! HE DIDN'T HVE ANYONE TO GO WITH!" Ginny competed.
"WHAT ABOUT RON AND HERMIONE! THEY ARE HIS BEST FRIENDS! HE CAN GO WITH THEM!" by now the whole common room was staring at them but neither had noticed.
"He can't go with them! It's their first date. LOOK I SAID HE CAN COME WITH ME AND HE'S COMING SO YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO GET USE TO IT!" Ginny was furious at his behaviour towards this. "I CAN'T BELIVE YOU'RE ACTING LIKE THIS? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT! I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER OUR FIRST DATE TO HOGSMEADE! I DON'T NOW WHY I'M STILL GOING OUT WITH YOU AFTER THAT! IT WAS THE WORST DATE I'VE EVER BEEN ON AND I WENT OUT WITH MICHEAL CORNER!"
"Okay! Fine! If I'm such a bad boyfriend, GO SNOG POTTER INSTEAD! You seem to be spending every minute with him nowadays." Dean stomped off out the portrait hole and Harry appeared in front of a teary-eyed Ginny.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
A/N: I have been waiting for this moment since I first thought up this story. You lot are probably thinking that the curtain is falling on Ginny and Dean and Harry is going to step up and make his move. Sorry to disappoint you. But that won't happen yet. I have a few more hurdles to over come before then.
One problem about those hurdles is that I have my GCSE's coming up in May and I want god grades so I'm going to start revising soon. I should have started already and I still have homework to do for my subjects so if I don't post for ages don't worry, I haven't given up. If I know that another chapter is going to take along time then I will post up an authors note to apologize.
Once again sorry for the delay, thank you to all my reviewers and you know that button in the left hand corner of the page, it's for reviewers. YOU. So click it and REVIEW! REVIEW! REVIEW!
