"Will you pipe down you bunch of delinquents", Filch said while
checking off the students who passed him. Mrs. Norris was slinking around
watching each student walk by and giving a meow.
"Oh we're next.....finally", Hermione said. They had been standing in line for ten minutes and the fact that Draco Malfoy was behind them didn't help.
"Bloody hell Weasel I think you could have done better than this bushy thing", Malfoy said with that trademark smirk of his and pointing to Hermione.
"Watch it Malfoy wouldn't want to be turned into a greasy slug now would we", Ron spit back putting a protective arm around Hermione and giving Malfoy a look of full hatred.
"Is that a threat Weasel", he said.
"Yes it is" Now both were inches from each other with fists clenched.
"Be careful Weasel wouldn't want the Mudblood here to be put in danger" Ron whipped out his wand and leveled it to Malfoy's face. Harry and Ginny had done the same thing.
"Please Ron let's just go", Hermione said while trying desperately to make Ron move forward.
"Listen to the filth she has a point why don't the four of you just leave and save me the trouble of putting all of you in the hospital wing", Malfoy said. The next second, Malfoy was on the floor with his nose bleeding and Ron standing over him with his fist clenched.
"You listen here Ferret if I ever catch you saying that about Hermione again you'll find yourself six feet under before you can say help", Ron said with his wand now pointing at the bleeding form of Malfoy.
"Ron don't", Hermione pleaded then turning to Harry, "Do something before he hexes Malfoy into hell." Harry was reluctant to do anything because they wanted to see Malfoy in pain but the look in Hermione's eyes made him listen.
"Come on Ron let's go before we get detention", Harry said while putting his arm around Ginny and pulling her toward the Hogsmeade entrance. Hermione got Ron to move away from Draco but he was still fuming with anger. They all headed to the Three Broomsticks in silence. Hermione too worried to say anything. Ron still angry and was holding on to Hermione as if something would happen to her. Harry was to busy making sure Ron wasn't going to go back and finish Malfoy off and Ginny too occupied with the thought of Harry having his arm around her. They all wanted to say something but then would rethink the thought and not say anything at all. They got to the Three Broomsticks and found a place to sit. After some silence someone finally spoke.
"Well ummm....I guess I'll go get the Butterbeers", Ginny said while looking at everyone and shrugging. She got up and went to the counter to order when someone put an arm around her.
"You need help carrying those mugs", Harry said smiling down at her. Ginny tried to calm herself down before speaking.
"Yeah"
Meanwhile Hermione and Ron were still sitting there in silence. Ginny and Harry got the drinks and started walking back to the table when Harry stopped almost making Ginny collide into him.
"Harry what was that for you almost made me spill Butterbeer down my shirt", Ginny said while looking at Harry.
"Sorry it's just that I wanted to ask you something and I didn't want the others to hear", Harry said shyly. Ginny thought maybe Hermione is right maybe he does fancy me.
"Oh okay well what you wanted to ask me"
"Well seeing as we have nothing to do tomorrow", Harry said shifting his weight from one foot to the other.
"Yeah"
"I was thinking maybe you want to"
"Yeah", Ginny said. She was starting to think that this would last for hours till he asked her out on a date.
"I was thinking maybe you want to practice in the Quidditch field since we have a game coming up and all", Harry said. All of the sudden Ginny just wanted to cry but she held it back the best she could. She felt stupid for getting her hopes up about something that she knew would never happen in a million centuries.
"Of course I'll come practice with you", Ginny said with a smiling, "Though I don't know why you didn't ask Ron since he is on the Quidditch team with us." Ginny joined last the team last year since Harry was banned from playing, but now that Umbridge was gone, he was back. She played chaser on the team since she thought that being a seeker was something she wasn't good at.
"I couldn't ask Ron since he and Herm are going to do something tomorrow"
"Oh", Ginny said. Now she felt stupid all together since one she had her fantasy shattered and two she was second choice to the man of her dreams. After that, they finally made it to the table where Hermione was cuddled up against Ron.
"Took you guys long enough to bring the drinks", Ron said while taking a sip of his drink. Hermione detached herself from Ron and took a sip of her drink as well.
"Your welcome big brother", Ginny said while rolling her eyes at him.
"Thank you Gin", Hermione said while nudging Ron.
"Sorry....Thank you Gin", Ron said, "So what took you guys so long?"
"Oh well Harry wanted to ask me something", Ginny said but she saw Hermione start to grin and added quickly, "Before you start to think something he asked me if I wanted to practice before the Quidditch game coming up." Immediately Hermione stopped grinning and rolled her eyes.
"Hun may I ask why you just rolled your eyes", Ron asked
"Oh nothing I just can't believe how some people (at this she looked at Harry) are so afraid to ask someone out on a date."
"What you mean?" Ron and Ginny asked at the same time and Harry looking a bit pink in the cheeks.
"I'm saying why a guy can't just ask the girl out without chickening out of it and asking something that they didn't mean to ask"
"Hey a guy has a right to chicken out if he wants to", Ron said while putting his drink down.
"No, because what if the girl was expecting to be asked out then when the guy just back out at the last minute and ask something else the girl in question feels stupid for getting all excited over something that didn't happen", Hermione said. Ginny could tell a yelling session was about to happen but she was happy Hermione saw it her way. Yet, she didn't know what the big deal was when they both knew that Harry didn't like her in that way.
"Well then that's the girls fault for getting all excited about it I mean a guy gets nervous just because of that", Ron said but his voice got louder. Harry was silent and Ginny noticed he was blushing too. Ginny was wondering why Harry was blushing since there was nothing to blush about.
"Oh it is, well, let me tell you something every time you kept backing out of asking me out made me feel stupid because like I said I got my hopes all up and then they were just crushed by what a little fear of rejection?!"
"Well sorry but if you have noticed you're not exactly easy to talk to when it comes to this you know!"
"I'm amazed you asked me out anyway!"
"Why is that?!" Now everyone in the room was listening and in truth, it wasn't helping.
"Because I have been giving you hints to the fact that I fancied you for so long that I was in fact amazed that your little brain finally figured it out!"
"Don't you dare start with me!"
"Too late!"
"I don't even know why I bothered going out with you for so long I could be going out with Padma right now if I didn't waste my time with you!" At that moment, Hermione became quiet and Ginny noticed that tears were forming in her eyes. Everyone knew that Hermione hated Padma because she went out with Ron last year.
"Well....fine if you want her than you can have her because you have made it clear that going out with me was a big mistake", Hermione said but it came out as a whisper. Hermione unclasped her necklace and placed it on the table.
"No, Hermione please I didn't mean it", Ron said looking every bit as hurt as Hermione was.
"Please get up Ron I would like to leave"
"No"
"Ron please just let me get up"
"Can't we talk about this", Ron said still not getting up and Hermione trying her best to hold back the tears that were starting to fall.
"There is nothing to talk about" Finally Ron got up and Hermione left leaving those who witnessed this event to whisper in interest.
"I didn't mean what I said I was angry", Ron said to no one in particular putting his face in his hands.
"It's going to be okay Ron don't worry Hermione will see that this was just a mistake", Harry said finally.
"Harry you're a complete idiot", Ginny said making both Harry and Ron look at her in surprise. They weren't expecting to hear that from her.
"What?"
"I said you're an idiot because Hermione is hurt and I know for a fact that she took that comment seriously and for you to think that she will be fine and dandy about is just crazy", Ginny said with anger in her voice, "Oh and to hear that comment come out of your mouth Ron is just unbelievable." With that, she stood up and left to search for Hermione leaving to young boys utterly confused. Ginny searched everywhere for Hermione and couldn't find her. She checked the stores then went back to Hogwarts and searched the library, the Great Hall, and every classroom she could find but there was no Hermione in sight. Finally, it had been almost two hours and Ginny gave up. She started to head to the Gryffindor tower.
"Password", the Fat Lady asked looking at Ginny.
"Hippogriff", Ginny said and she walked into the common room.
"Ginny" Ginny looked to the fireplace and saw Harry sitting on the couch.
"What?" Ginny was in no mood to go and explain her rudeness to Harry all she really cared about right now was comforting Hermione.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry"
"You didn't do anything"
"Yeah, that's the point I should have gone after you and Hermione and Ron should have done the same"
"Look I don't need this right now okay", Ginny finally said and started walking over to the girls dormitory.
"Why are you so angry at me anyway I didn't say anything to you?"
"I'm not mad okay.....I just want to go upstairs and see if Hermione is there"
"A few minutes talking to me won't make a difference Gin Bear"
"Don't call me Gin Bear"
"Why not? I have been calling you that since September and you didn't seem to mind."
"Well I do now"
"Gin why don't you tell me what I did to make you so mad at me", Harry said while walking over to Ginny.
"Harry just forget it okay", Ginny said backing away to keep the space the between them the same.
"No, I can't forget this because I want to know what I did to make you mad at me", Harry said closing the gap between them and making Ginny back up against the wall. Ginny wasn't even sure why she was mad at Harry in the first place. All she knew was that she could not be in the same room with him any longer or she might just tell him how she truly felt for him.
"Gin just tell me what I did wrong", Harry pleaded looking into Ginny's eyes.
"You wouldn't want to be near me if I told you"
"How do you know that", Harry said, "For all you know telling me what's wrong could be a good thing."
"It wouldn't be.........telling you would be the end of our friendship", Ginny said looking down at her feet.
"Nothing could destroy that so please tell me", he replied lifting up her chin so that Ginny would look at him.
"You don't know that"
"Yes I do"
"Oh that's right great Harry Potter knows everything just because he knows a few spells and defeated Voldemort", Ginny said, "But you know what you don't know anything or I wouldn't have to hide my feelings for you!"
"Ginny what do you mean?"
"What do I mean? Are you freaking kidding me or are you just plain stupid? Harry I have liked ever since I met you that's what I mean."
"Wait I thought you got over me in the end of fourth year," Harry asked. Ginny was starting to regret ever saying a thing, but it was too late to turn back now. Harry had taken a few steps back letting Ginny move toward the window. She turned around to look at him and Harry could see that tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Ginny"
"No let me finish........Yeah I made everyone think I was over you but in truth I never was. I let them think that because I got tired of you acting weird around me and always looking at Ron as if trying to find an excuse not to be near me. I mean at first I liked you because you were Harry Potter but then I started to like you because you were sweet, loyal, brave, and caring. Then we became friends and I was thinking if you didn't want me as a girlfriend then I guess being friends is good enough. I was beginning to get use to the thought and living with the fact that I will always be a sister to you. Then as I'm starting to get use to the thought you wanted to ask me a question today. Immediately I noticed that you were nervous and shy when you wanted to ask me something and I thought maybe you did like me in the way I hoped you would. Just as I saw hope you burst the bubble and asked me to practice with you because Ron was busy. I thought great I got my hopes up for nothing. That whole fight with Ron and Hermione was because of me and my stupid crush for you. I destroyed a relationship because Hermione got fed up with seeing me ache over you. So there you go Harry, now you know the truth." Ginny waited and waited for Harry to say something but it never came. She thought that's it I can't talk to him anymore.
"Ginny I never knew", Harry said while Ginny was starting to move toward the girl's dormitory, "But Ginny I just want to tell you."
"Harry forget I don't want to hear your rejection", Ginny said with more tears coming down her cheeks. This was worse than she had expected.
"Gin please just"
"No! I don't want to hear it", Ginny yelled and started to run. She ran all the way up the stairs reaching her room. She slammed the door and fell to the ground crying.
"Gin? Are you okay?"
Ginny wiped her eyes and looked over to Hermione's bed where Hermione was sitting looking puffy in the eyes with balls of tissue scattered all over. Ginny stood up and walked over to Hermione and sat down.
"No but it doesn't matter...How about you are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm fine I guess but what happen to you?" Ginny explained what happened when she left the Three Broomsticks and downstairs in the common room.
"I told him how I felt Herm and then he was about to tell me that he thought of me as a sister and I just didn't want to listen so I ran up here."
"Oh I'm so sorry if I didn't get all worked up over this then you wouldn't have had to tell Harry what you felt" Hermione said giving Ginny tissue to wipe her tears with.
"It's not your fault", Ginny said giving Hermione a weak grin, "Plus you have every right to be upset with what Ron said anyway."
"Still I feel awful and I was going to tell him I loved him"
"It's okay Herm....don't worry my brother loves you I know it even when he acts like a complete git I know he loves you"
"You think"
"I know and tomorrow he will be on his knees begging you to forgive him", Ginny said giving Hermione a big hug then added, "I just wish that I don't have to face Harry tomorrow I can't bear seeing after all this."
"It's going to be okay.....don't worry about Harry is a smart guy he won't lose one of his best friends over that."
"Could you do me a favor?"
"Sure....anything"
"When we see the guys tomorrow can we sit in a different spot at the table?" Ginny couldn't bear to see Harry and she knew that he must feel the same. She was thinking that he must think that she was a freak for ever thinking that he would like her that way.
"Yeah I see no harm in that...........now Miss Ginny darling you need your rest and I need mine so let's just call this a night okay?"
"Yeah", Ginny replied while hopping off Hermione's bed and going over to her own.
"Goodnight Gin"
"Goodnight Herm" They both went to sleep hoping that tomorrow wouldn't be a bad day.
************************************************************************ Okay there's Chapter 3 for you! I hope you guys like it and if you don't then tell me what I can do to make it better and I'll try my best to fix it. Thanks to Maria for reading my fanfiction. I try to update at least every two or three days. Sometimes I even update the next day if I get inspiration. So keep on reading!
Next chapter will be Harry's point of view of the Hogsmeade day. Thank you again Maria for giving me the idea! (
Please keep reviewing so I know I'm doing a good job or not.
