Ginny walked out of the common room and out toward the lake. She had just humiliated herself in front of Harry. She knew she shouldn't have been the one to say sorry but she loved him. She knew Hermione was right that if she waited too long to forgive Harry, that he would move on. At least now she knew that he didn't feel the same anymore.
Ginny sat down under a tree and watched the calm lake in front of her. She didn't even want to go through with the rest of the prank for Sarah anymore. She just wanted to disappear or at least not see Harry walking in the corridors.
"Gin", someone called behind her and she knew who it was without turning around.
"Hey Colin"
"What happen...are you guys together now", Colin said sitting down beside her.
"No"
"What do mean no, I thought you guys were like destined"
"We aren't, he doesn't feel the same toward me anymore"
"Oh Gin I'm so sorry", Colin said taking her into a hug. She leaned her head against Colin and stayed there.
"I just don't know what to do now, I feel so empty knowing that Harry isn't mine at all"
"Gin don't go all depressed on me, come on you'll move on, it will just take time"
"I don't want to move on and to make things worse the Winter Ball is a week and a half away and I have no one to go with"
"I don't know what to say Gin. I understand that Harry was your world but if you hold on to the past, it will consume you"
"Maybe I want it to consume me"
"No you don't........don't worry you'll have a date to the ball, there are a lot of guys who want to go with you"
"I don't see them lining up Colin"
"They are, but they're just waiting for you to be single and now that you are well you'll see"
"Thanks Colin, it means a lot to me that you're here"
"No where else I would rather be"
"Just do me a favor"
"What", Colin asked.
"Can you just stay here with me for a while; I don't want to be by myself right now"
"Sure Gin that's what best friends are for" They stayed there for an hour before heading back into the castle. Ginny went straight to bed not noticing three people watching her pass by.
"She looks terrible", Hermione said sadly.
"I swear to god Harry if this whole thing doesn't work I am going to kill you", Ron said as he watched Ginny disappear up the stairs.
"I know guys, I know", Harry said. He was confident about this whole thing but now he felt like he could throw-up from his nerves.
"I'm going up there to talk to her", Hermione said standing up, "I'll see you both tomorrow"
"Okay", Ron said kissing her on the cheek as Harry gave her a hug. Hermione went upstairs to find Ginny sitting on her bed hugging her pillow. Hermione closed the door and walked over to her.
"Gin are you okay?"
"I'm fine"
"No your not.......come on Gin tell me what's wrong"
"Harry doesn't love me anymore", Ginny whispered that Hermione almost didn't catch it.
"He does Gin I know he does", Hermione said forgetting about the plan. When Ginny heard those words she immediately snapped.
"No he doesn't Hermione. Can't you see that! He doesn't love me or I wouldn't be here crying or sulking around! You are so busy snogging my stupid brother to notice what the hell is happening around you! Well understand this I don't want you to comfort me! I want you to leave me alone because you are the one who told me to tell him I loved him. Where did it get me, here crying! So if you don't mind leave me alone! Don't talk to me at all do you understand me just leave", Ginny yelled at Hermione. Hermione fell into silence as Ginny glared at her.
"Fine I'll leave you alone.........I'm sorry Gin this should have never happened not like this", Hermione said faintly as she walked over to the bathroom and closed the door. Ginny changed her clothes and got into bed. She laid down and ignored Hermione as she came out of the bathroom. She went to sleep as once again images of Harry filled her mind.
Ginny woke up the next day and started to get ready. Like always Hermione was already awake. Through the whole thirty minutes of getting ready Ginny completely ignored Hermione.
"Ginny please talk to me", Hermione said breaking the silence. Ginny kept brushing her hair like she didn't Hermione at all. Ginny wanted to say sorry to her also but she also didn't want to. She figured her stubbornness was the reason for it.
"Please Gin I can't have you giving me the silent treatment"
"You deserve it"
"No I don't and you know it", Hermione said standing in front of the door as Ginny was about to leave.
"Hermione move"
"Not until you figure out that all this is not my fault. I know your upset over Harry but that doesn't mean you have to get mad at me"
"Also I'm your best friend too. You can't be mad at me forever come on you know you are just dieing to hug me", Hermione said smiling and Ginny couldn't help but smile too.
"See you know you love me", Hermione said laughing and Ginny finally laughed too.
"I'm sorry I snapped at you before...I just don't know what to do now"
"It's okay and as for your heart the best thing to do is to go on with your life"
"Your right now enough with all this and lets go downstairs. I'm starving", Ginny said rubbing her stomach.
"I swear you and your brother are just the same sometimes"
"What can I say Weasley blood", Ginny said laughing. Hermione and Ginny went downstairs to find Ron waiting for Hermione like always.
"Hey Gin", Ron said before he gave Hermione a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey"
"Ron why didn't you wake me up", a voice yelled from the stairs as the sound of footsteps echoed through. Harry ran all the way down the stairs and hadn't noticed that Ginny was right next to Ron.
"I should smack you Ron, your always....", Harry stopped short when he looked up to see Ginny looking at him.
"Good Morning Gin", Harry said slowly.
"Morning Harry", Ginny said then turning to Hermione, "Herm, Ron, I'll see you in Potions class"
"Bye", Hermione and Ron said together as they watched Ginny walk out through the portrait hole.
"Harry am I even going to have to say what I'm going to say", Ron said.
"No because I already know. Don't worry I won't hurt her this badly ever again", Harry said as he left Hermione and Ron in the common room.
Ginny walked straight to the Great Hall where she sat with Colin and his new girlfriend Aurora.
Hermione and Ron came in moments later with Harry missing. They thought he was heading to breakfast just like always but instead they saw him turn a corner and disappear.
"Ron I'm worried about all this, what if this doesn't work and we have two friends who forever love each other but never with each other", Hermione said.
"I know I'm worried too but Harry is smart, well not this term but he knows what he is doing so I guess we have to have some faith"
Harry was walking through every corridor that he could get to before classes. He had been putting charms, spells, and everything he would need. This was it, and Harry wanted this to be the last time he ever had to see Ginny cry. The ball was coming in one week and not one thing could go wrong.
Ginny ate her breakfast as Aurora talked about the ball and how much fun it would be. Ginny only smiled and nodded. She didn't have a date to the event and she was now going to go all by herself.
"Owls are here", Colin said pointing up. As Ginny watched she noticed an owl flying towards her. The owl dropped a black envelope into her hands and flew back out of the Great Hall. Ginny looked at the front where her name was written with gold colored ink with little hearts decorated all around.
"Are you going to open it", Colin asked.
"I guess so........", Ginny said slowly as she opened the flap.

Here is Chapter 19. I am soooooo sorry that it took me so freakin long with this chapter. I just finished all my exams and now I'll have more time to finish this story. I'm seriously trying to slow down the story so that the ending won't come so abruptly. Yet, again really sorry to keep those of you waiting for this chapter to be uploaded.

Oh and I just wanted to note that my other story Make You Notice has been deleted for a good rewrite. Since that story was out of character and in much need of attention. So ya MYN is on hold for a long period. Don't worry I have another story in mind to write and it should be better.

Thank you to everyone who has read my fanficcie so far. You all get an imaginary pink cookie.

Now go review!!!!!! lol
