Chapter 3 – Harry Tells Someone
But it wasn't Hagrid in there it was…… Ginny.
'Hey Harry, what's wrong?' she asked when she saw the tears running down his cheeks.
'Nothing,' he lied.
'Harry, something is obviously wrong or you wouldn't be upset. Come sit down.'
'Where's Hagrid?'
'He's gone into the Forbidden Forest; just don't worry about that at the moment.'
Harry was now getting annoyed. Did Ginny expect him to tell her all his secrets? Well he wasn't going to tell her!
'Its Cho, isn't it Harry?'
'How did-?'
'I know?' She interrupted. 'I was talking to Luna. She didn't know why but she said you hadn't been talking to Cho lately.'
'So you expect me to tell you everything, do you?' He said viciously, he was getting really angry now.
'No I don't. I just thought you might want to discuss it, to help you deal with it.'
'Well I don't!' He yelled at her.
Ginny just pretended she didn't notice that she had just been yelled at instead she began to make a cup of tea for herself and one for him.
'Here you go, it'll calm you down.'
Harry didn't know what to say. It was obvious that Ginny was annoyed with him but she was trying to hide it.
'Boys,' she muttered.
'Listen Ginny, I'm sorry I shouldn't have taken it out on you. It's just Cho made me so angry with what she did,' he said slowly. 'I think you're right, maybe I should tell you, I mean you know what it's like.'
'What do you mean with Michael?'
'Yeah, oh sorry.'
'No, its okay he was a git anyway.'
'Well okay I'll tell you,' his voice began to go quieter and slower. 'Well she just came up to me one day and she said she was really sorry –.'
'Sorry about what?' She interrupted.
'She said she was sorry because she -,' He trailed off and fell to silence.
'It's alright, if you don't want to continue you don't have to,' she said but Harry thought she didn't sound very convincing.
'No, I can. She said she was gay.'
'Cho? Gay? I'd never of guessed that,' and at that moment Harry began to get sadder he looked like he would cry any moment now.
'Oh sorry Harry, I'm so sorry. It must be so hard.'
Harry felt hot tears running down his cheeks and Ginny got up and came up to him and gave him a big hug.
