Ginny woke up abruptly at 6 in the morning with sweat running down her
face. She was having a dream, more like a nightmare about Harry. She
dreamed that she was in the common room and Harry was standing in front of
her with roses. She had walked up to him and he just walked right past her
into some other girls arms. Then, in the dream Harry turned around and gave
a look of disgust and started to laugh at her. He said that she had to be
kidding herself to ever think that he would like her and that she w as
nothing more than a little kid to him. As Ginny thought of the dream she
trembled at the thought. She stood up and walked over to the window. She
could see the sun rising slowly above the hills. Ginny started to think
about what happened yesterday and she felt new tears start to form. It was
her fault that Hermione and Ron were fighting and it was her fault for
ruining her friendship with Harry over what, her stupid feelings. Ginny
stared out into the grounds and her eyes moved to the Quidditch field.
Memories of Harry flooded back to her instantly and she wished that it
could still be like that, but she knew it couldn't be after what she told
him last night. She stood up and changed into jeans and a red shirt. She
took her cloak with her and left the room to go for a walk. She knew it was
too early for anyone to be awake on a Sunday morning so she need not worry
about anyone bothering her.
Ginny had been walking around for about an hour and she barely knew where she was going. Next thing she knew she was at the lake staring at the giant squid that was swimming by. She sat down and closed her eyes. She loved this spot and always went here to clear her thoughts. She barely noticed anything around her as she sat there relaxed and at peace. All of the sudden she heard someone sit next to her.
"Ginny", Harry said and Ginny's eyes opened immediately. She couldn't run from him now or maybe she could but her body wouldn't seem to agree. She turned her head to face him and he was staring at her intently.
"Ha-Harr-Harry", Ginny said stuttering while saying his name. She never stuttered before, but she guessed that since this was in fact the love of her life there was a first time for everything.
"We need to talk"
"I know.....", Ginny said looking down at the grass.
"About last night Gin", Harry said as he sighed. She knew it had to come sooner or later she just wished it was later much later.
"I know what you're going to say Harry so there is no need to tell me"
"Really", Harry said and Ginny noticed amusement in his voice that just made her feel worse then she already did.
"Yes...so if you don't mind I'm just going to go now", Ginny replied starting to get up only to be pulled back down by Harry.
"I don't think you do", Harry said with a smile. Ginny thought he must be kidding, does he think this is funny to make me cry and wish to die? She felt as if he ripped out her heart and put it in flames then stepped on it and chopped in up into a million pieces. Her anger started to rise with the sorrow she felt.
"I do! I might not be your age Harry but I am a year younger than you so I know exactly what you are going to say to me! Stop smiling do you find this amusing! Do you like to see me cry?!" Ginny yelled as she saw Harry break out into a bigger grin. He is absolutely out of his mind she thought.
"Well.....if you know what I am going to say then why don't you tell me then?" Harry asked as he smiled even bigger with his eyes glinting in absolute joy.
"Fine! You were going to say that you don't like me and that you would rather date Malfoy. Oh, and I bet you were going to say that you didn't want to speak to me ever again and that our friendship is over also", Ginny said. She saw Harry stand up and she thought he was going to say your right and walk away.
"Well as good as that sounds I wasn't going to say that" Ginny was hoping, actually she was praying, and that it wasn't harsher than she thought.
"Oh"
"Oh is right. I was going to say that I'm sorry for making you cry last night and running away", Harry said lifting her chin up so she could look at him, "Also that I like someone else.....she's sweet, beautiful, and she makes me happy." Ginny almost cried as he said this. This was worse than rejection it was her nightmare come to life. Instead of just rejection he also found someone better than her.
"I'm happy for you" She tried to hold back the tears and keep her voice calm. Her life was over end of story. She just wanted it to be over and she didn't care how.
"Don't you want to know who it is?" Harry stood up and held out a hand for Ginny. She stood up and looked into his eyes. She hoped that whoever this girl is, she better be great to him.
"Okay I guess"
"The girl that fills my thoughts of every second of every day is.....you" Ginny almost fainted as she heard him speak. Was she dreaming? Did he actually say that she was his special girl?
"Ginny did you hear me? I said it was you. I never go to tell you last night because you ran off and wouldn't let me speak. Gin you are the one girl that sees me for me and likes what she sees. I'm just sorry I didn't notice years before. Please Gin will you be my girlfriend?" Harry looked into her eyes and for the first time she broke into a smile.
"I would love to" Ginny put her arms around his neck and he put his arms around her waist. They kissed and everything around Ginny disappeared. She could have stayed like that forever, but Harry pulled away.
"I think it's time to go back into the castle now"
"Yeah" They headed back inside holding hands and walking in comfortable silence. Ginny could have died happy, she felt like dancing and singing maybe even give a Slytherin a hug. Okay maybe not the hug a Slytherin thing but she was close to it. While she was walking she noticed something glowing from inside Harry's sleeve.
"Harry your sleeve its glowing.....pink?"
"Oh ummm.....it's just the watch you gave me", Harry said lifting his sleeve to show the watch.
"You wear it?"
"Yeah. I just always have it covered by my sleeve because it's always glowing pink around you and you're always around me so I hid it"
"Why? What does pink mean?"
"Well.......it means I have a crush on you", Harry said feeling a blush creep up his face.
"Aw....I guess I should have just grabbed your watch and seen how you felt", Ginny said giggling.
"Yup" They made it to the tower and gave the password and stepped inside into the common room.
"I'm going to go see if Herm is up yet okay?"
"Yeah I'll see if Ron is up also" Ginny went upstairs and found Hermione still asleep. It was already 8 o'clock and they needed to go to breakfast. Ginny walked over to Hermione and nudged her in the shoulder.
"Herm wake up" No movement but Ginny heard something that sounded like 'shut up'.
"Herm wake up"
"Herm come on already we need to go to breakfast", Ginny said with a hint of annoyance in it. Hermione is the smartest girl in Hogwarts yet, when it's Sunday morning she won't wake up.
"Please Herm wake up I'm hungry and we need to go down to the Great Hall now" No use Hermione just turned away from her. So, Ginny kept nudging her till she said something.
"Gin it's Sunday go to sleep and leave me alone!"
"I can't do that"
"Why not", Hermione asked sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Because I'm awake and I want to go eat and I am not I repeat not leaving without you"
"Fine already but if I fall asleep in my food I'm going to hit you", Hermione said while getting out of bed.
"Gin are you going to talk to Harry today or are we going to sit at a different table", Hermione asked looking at Ginny with concern.
"No need to", Ginny replied with a huge smile spreading across her face.
"What do you mean?"
"I talked to Harry this morning while I was walking around and you were sleeping"
"Well....are you going to tell me", Hermione said smiling back.
"No I think I'm going to let you guess", Ginny said walking toward the door.
"Gin! Tell me already please"
"No"
"Please"
"No"
"Then I'll just force it out of you", Hermione said running over to Ginny and tickling her.
"Stop ha Herm ha please ha I ha can't ha breathe", Ginny said trying her best to wiggle away from Hermione.
"Are you going to tell me what happened between you and Harry?"
"YES!"
"Okay", Hermione said getting off of Ginny and sitting next to he on the floor.
"Well tell me"
"Hold on let me breathe first", Ginny said holding her sides.
"Come on"
"Okay. Well I woke up early and I went to go for a walk to think", Ginny said. She remembered every detail and Hermione was just giggling with joy.
"Then he said the girl that fills my every thought is you", Ginny said and when she finished they both started hopping and squealing.
"Oh my God this is fantastic.....I knew he liked you I knew it", Hermione said giving Ginny a hug.
"I know. I thought this would never happen to me."
"But it did and you deserve it. Well what are we waiting for let's go downstairs so you can give your boyfriend a big kiss!" Hermione grabbed Ginny's hand and started to drag her out the door.
"Herm slow down, we might fall down the steps!" Hermione was almost jumping every step that Ginny feared for her life. They made it down to the common room alive and Ginny was sure she lost an organ. Harry was waiting in the common room with Ron standing next to him. Ron seemed nervous Ginny thought. He was fidgeting with his hands was looking at Hermione. Hermione stopped immediately when she saw Ron and turned to Ginny making sure that Harry and Ron couldn't hear.
"Gin I can't go with you to the Great Hall", Hermione said while looking at Ron with sadness.
"Why not?"
"Because Ron is over there I don't want to talk to him right now"
"You said you wanted to last night and now you're going to run away?"
"I know. I want to go over there and kiss him and be in his arms, but what he said to me was just too hurtful and I can't face him knowing he wanted to be with Padma the whole time"
"Herm he didn't mean those words he was mad and I know for he's sorry and feels stupid for ever hurting you"
"It might be true but please don't make me go to breakfast with him.....please", Hermione pleaded. Ginny couldn't let Hermione go to the Great Hall by herself and she knew what Hermione felt.
"Okay. Just hold on a second okay", Ginny said. Hermione nodded and Ginny walked over to Harry and Ron.
"Harry ummm I can't go with you today. I need to stay with Herm."
"Oh okay but we sit together so that doesn't make sense"
"Yes it does, she doesn't want to see me", Ron said and Ginny felt terrible for her brother.
"I'm sorry Ron. Don't worry she will come around you'll see", Ginny said giving her brother a big hug.
"I guess this means we are really over doesn't it"
"Ron don't worry I don't think she wants it to be over. Just give her time. Harry I have to go I'll see you later okay?"
"Of course", Harry said giving Ginny a quick kiss. Ginny and Hermione left with Ron and Harry following a few feet away. They arrived at the Great Hall and Hermione and Ginny sat at the end of the table while Ron and Harry went to their usual spots.
"Thank you Ginny"
"No problem what are best friends for?" The events at breakfast were pretty interesting. Ginny guessed that the word got out that Hermione and Ron broke up because guys kept coming over and saying hi. Hermione wasn't very amused by it all she did was say hi and then completely ignores them afterwards. Ginny tried hard not to burst into laughter by the sight of it.
"Hi Hermione and Ginny", Jeff Cornial said sitting next to Hermione. He was in Hufflepuff and was a chaser on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. Hermione scooted away trying to keep the space big between them.
"Hi", Ginny and Hermione said in unison.
"So....", Jeff said putting his arm around Hermione making her cringe and making Ginny want to laugh, "Are you busy today because I was thinking maybe you and I can hang out."
"Sorry Jeff I still care about Ron so I can't hang out", Hermione said taking Jeff's arm off her shoulder.
"Oh okay", Jeff said starting to get up.
"Sorry Jeff"
"It's okay", he replied going back to the Hufflepuff table. Ginny felt sorry for the guy, but she knew that the only guy Hermione wanted was Ron. She looked down the table and saw Harry frowning and shaking his head while looking at his food. Then, Ginny noticed something else that made her drop her fork. Across from Harry was Ron and on Ron was Padma Patil! What the hell is going on Ginny thought watching Padma flirt with Ron and Ron smiling widely. She didn't know if she should tell Hermione or not but something inside her said she should.
"Herm ummm I don't know what to say but I think you should look over to where Ron and Harry are sitting"
"Why?"
"Just look down the table", Ginny said and when Hermione did Ginny noticed her face fall. They both watched as Padma started to whisper into Ron's ear and Ron holding her at the waist. Ginny couldn't believe Ron would do that to Hermione after he practically cried when she didn't want to talk to him.
"I guess....I guess he finally got his wish. Doesn't he look happy with Padma", Hermione said trying to sound calm but Ginny could hear the break in her voice.
"I'm sorry Herm I don't know what to say I mean I know he doesn't want to be with her", Ginny said pointing to Padma.
"Gin stop trying to make me feel better because I can see clearly (pointing to Ron) that he does want to be with her. Forget I mean this morning I couldn't talk to him because I was hurt and now I can't talk to him because he found someone else. I know I would have forgiven him and you know it. I guess I'm just too late on the forgiving part."
"I'm sorry"
"There's no need to be........Look I'm going to go to the library if you need that's where I'll be okay", Hermione said starting to get up.
"Okay.....I'll see you later" Ginny gave her a hug and watched Hermione walk away. She felt dreadful seeing Hermione like this. Hermione was her first real friend and seeing her in tears made Ginny feel upset also. She felt anger rise as she turned back to Harry and Ron. Ron was still flirting with Padma, but she could tell that Ron saw Hermione leave. Ginny stood up and walked over to Harry and Ron.
"Hi Padma", Ginny said putting on a false smile while taking he seat next to Harry like always. Ginny had to fight all her urges of killing the pretty blonde.
"Hi Ginny girl", Padma said still getting comfy with Ron.
"So Padma how are things with you?"
"Oh they are fantastic"
"That's good"
"Of course. How about you?"
"I'm good. Just popping by to say hello"
"Where is Hermione", Padma asked with false concern that made Ginny want to knock her out.
"She left to go to the library"
"She is such a bookworm. I was telling Ron how he should have been with a girl who was more of a party girl. I mean Hermione is pretty but does she ever stop reading", Padma said and Ginny noticed Ron glare as Padma made fun of Hermione.
"She is pretty but we as in Harry, Ron, and I like her the way she is. I mean at least she has something other than looks to go by with. Unlike some girls who spend all their time swooning over someone who couldn't give a crap about them", Ginny said while watching Padma glare at her.
"Watch it Ginny someone would think you were jealous"
"Jealous of what........jealous of some brainless psycho. Please I don't have to be jealous of anything. If anyone is jealous around here it's you"
"I am not jealous of you or that bush of head that is called Hermione"
"Really.....I would be jealous so would any other girl. I mean Hermione has got brains, looks, and a great personality to boot. So I don't know why no one would be jealous. Unless. No it couldn't be or maybe it is. Maybe you're really a transvestite", Ginny said laughing at the thought and Harry laughed too. She could see Ron holding back the laughs and Padma practically fuming in the ears.
"Now, I advise you to get off my brother and go find some other guy to fool with"
"You're not his boss and from what I can see he doesn't want me to leave"
"Actually my sister is right I you should find someone else to go with"
"WHAT", Padma yelled getting people to turn their heads and see what was going on.
"Oy! Go back to your meal there is nothing here to see", Harry yelled at the students.
"I said, my sister is right about you leaving. Look Padma we dated but that was a long long time ago. I care about Hermione and the only reason you're even talking to me is because I wanted Hermione jealous. Now please get off me before I have to burn my robes", Ron said while Padma looked pissed off.
"Fine but you'll be sorry. No one and I mean no one rejects me and gets away with it", Padma said while getting up and leaving the Great Hall.
"You", Ginny said looking at Ron with utter disgust, "I can't believe you did that just to make Hermione jealous. Are you stupid or something? I mean come on she didn't even do anything to you and you just had to go and flirt with...with that sorry ass of a girl."
"I wasn't the only one flirting. She was off being all comfortable with that Hufflepuff"
"What guy?"
"The guy from the Quidditch team"
"Oh my god. (it just dawned on Ginny that Ron was jealous over the so called flirting moment between Jeff and Hermione) Are you saying you're jealous because some guy talked to her? You were never jealous before"
"I was not jealous", Ron said but he was such an awful liar that Ginny could tell he was.
"Look Jeff was just asking Herm out on a date but she said she still cared about you"
"You serious?"
"Yes I am serious and now you blew your shot of her forgiving you with that envious habit you have developed"
"Where is she Ginny?"
"I'm not telling you. I don't think you deserve another chance" In truth she thought different but she wanted Ron to beg and suffer.
"Please Ginny I need to talk to her"
"No"
"Come on Gin Bear just give him the info. I hate to see a grown man beg well he isn't actually a man but you know what I mean", Harry said smiling.
"Bugger off Harry", Ron said, "Please just tell me Gin."
"Fine"
"Thank you"
"Okay she is in the library probably looking up spells that would make you miserable"
"Thanks again....I'll see you guys later", Ron said leaving the Great Hall at top speed.
"I hope they get back together", Ginny said looking at Harry.
"There isn't much we can do to help them. All we can do is watch and pray that they end up together again"
"I know", Ginny said with a sigh.
"So while we wait what do you want to do?"
"I don't know you choose"
"Why don't we just walk around the school or we could go back to the common room"
"Common room sounds good" They both stood up and left. As they walked back to the common room they stopped by the library to see how Ron and Hermione were doing. Ginny saw Ron standing in the corner watching Hermione. Hermione was sitting in a chair with a book open reading. She had traces of tears in her eyes and Ron looked crestfallen by the sight.
"Why don't we leave them to work this out", Harry said putting an arm around Ginny and walking away from Ron and Hermione.
"Okay"

"Okay.....I'll see you later" Ginny gave her a hug and watched Hermione walk away. She felt dreadful seeing Hermione like this. Hermione was her first real friend and seeing her in tears made Ginny feel upset also. She felt anger rise as she turned back to Harry and Ron. Ron was still flirting with Padma, but she could tell that Ron saw Hermione leave. Ginny stood up and walked over to Harry and Ron.
"Hi Padma", Ginny said putting on a false smile while taking he seat next to Harry like always. Ginny had to fight all her urges of killing the pretty blonde.
"Hi Ginny girl", Padma said still getting comfy with Ron.
"So Padma how are things with you?"
"Oh they are fantastic"
"That's good"
"Of course. How about you?"
"I'm good. Just popping by to say hello"
"Where is Hermione", Padma asked with false concern that made Ginny want to knock her out.
"She left to go to the library"
"She is such a bookworm. I was telling Ron how he should have been with a girl who was more of a party girl. I mean Hermione is pretty but does she ever stop reading", Padma said and Ginny noticed Ron glare as Padma made fun of Hermione.
"She is pretty but we as in Harry, Ron, and I like her the way she is. I mean at least she has something other than looks to go by with. Unlike some girls who spend all their time swooning over someone who couldn't give a crap about them", Ginny said while watching Padma glare at her.
"Watch it Ginny someone would think you were jealous"
"Jealous of what........jealous of some brainless psycho. Please I don't have to be jealous of anything. If anyone is jealous around here it's you"
"I am not jealous of you or that bush of head that is called Hermione"
"Really.....I would be jealous so would any other girl. I mean Hermione has got brains, looks, and a great personality to boot. So I don't know why no one would be jealous. Unless. No it couldn't be or maybe it is. Maybe you're really a transvestite", Ginny said laughing at the thought and Harry laughed too. She could see Ron holding back the laughs and Padma practically fuming in the ears.
"Now, I advise you to get off my brother and go find some other guy to fool with"
"You're not his boss and from what I can see he doesn't want me to leave"
"Actually my sister is right I you should find someone else to go with"
"WHAT", Padma yelled getting people to turn their heads and see what was going on.
"Oy! Go back to your meal there is nothing here to see", Harry yelled at the students.
"I said, my sister is right about you leaving. Look Padma we dated but that was a long long time ago. I care about Hermione and the only reason you're even talking to me is because I wanted Hermione jealous. Now please get off me before I have to burn my robes", Ron said while Padma looked pissed off.
"Fine but you'll be sorry. No one and I mean no one rejects me and gets away with it", Padma said while getting up and leaving the Great Hall.
"You", Ginny said looking at Ron with utter disgust, "I can't believe you did that just to make Hermione jealous. Are you stupid or something? I mean come on she didn't even do anything to you and you just had to go and flirt with...with that sorry ass of a girl."
"I wasn't the only one flirting. She was off being all comfortable with that Hufflepuff"
"What guy?"
"The guy from the Quidditch team"
"Oh my god. (it just dawned on Ginny that Ron was jealous over the so called flirting moment between Jeff and Hermione) Are you saying you're jealous because some guy talked to her? You were never jealous before"
"I was not jealous", Ron said but he was such an awful liar that Ginny could tell he was.
"Look Jeff was just asking Herm out on a date but she said she still cared about you"
"You serious?"
"Yes I am serious and now you blew your shot of her forgiving you with that envious habit you have developed"
"Where is she Ginny?"
"I'm not telling you. I don't think you deserve another chance" In truth she thought different but she wanted Ron to beg and suffer.
"Please Ginny I need to talk to her"
"No"
"Come on Gin Bear just give him the info. I hate to see a grown man beg well he isn't actually a man but you know what I mean", Harry said smiling.
"Bugger off Harry", Ron said, "Please just tell me Gin."
"Fine"
"Thank you"
"Okay she is in the library probably looking up spells that would make you miserable"
"Thanks again....I'll see you guys later", Ron said leaving the Great Hall at top speed.
"I hope they get back together", Ginny said looking at Harry.
"There isn't much we can do to help them. All we can do is watch and pray that they end up together again"
"I know", Ginny said with a sigh.
"So while we wait what do you want to do?"
"I don't know you choose"
"Why don't we just walk around the school or we could go back to the common room"
"Common room sounds good" They both stood up and left. As they walked back to the common room they stopped by the library to see how Ron and Hermione were doing. Ginny saw Ron standing in the corner watching Hermione. Hermione was sitting in a chair with a book open reading. She had traces of tears in her eyes and Ron looked crestfallen by the sight.
"Why don't we leave them to work this out", Harry said putting an arm around Ginny and walking away from Ron and Hermione.
"Okay"
