Chapter Five: Something more?
I ran through the now silent corridors and up the seven floors until I was outside the common room. I checked my watch, 9.30pm. I hoped that everyone might have gone to bed early because of school starting tomorrow. I took of the cloak and gave the password to the Fat Lady before bracing myself to go in. I took a deep breath, and stepped through into the common room. Relief flooded through me as everyone was in bed apart from one person who was sitting on the couch next to the fire, staring intently into it.
I walked over to them and sat down next to them when I realised that it was Harry. He didn't move, he just stared into the fire. A piece of parchment lay crumpled on the floor. I looked at him as I picked it up to make sure that it was ok. I smoothed it out and began to read to myself.
'Harry,
I know you will probably hate me after this but I feel that I have to tell you before its too late. I feel that I don't feel the same towards you as when we first started going out. I think that we would be better of as friends from now on. Please understand Harry, this isn't easy for me either.
Love From
Ginny'
I dropped the letter an just looked at Harry, who had turned to face me as I had been reading the letter, and I pulled him into a hug.
"Are you ok?" I asked, after I released him.
"Yeah, in a way I kind of knew that it was coming, I just wish that she could have said it to my face rather than in a letter. I liked her a lot, I guess it just wasn't meant to be"
"Look at it this way Harry, your not the only one anymore" I replied, looking away.
He put his finger under my chin and forced me to look at him.
"What Happened?" he asked, removing his finger from underneath my chin.
I sighed and told him, and by the time I had finished, Harry looked ready to kill, but before he could say anything, I carried on.
"In a way, I'm glad that its over, but I still feel like he used me in a way" I finished, staring him in the eyes.
Slowly, without realising what was happening, I was moving closer to Harry and he was doing the same. I felt my eyes shut as my lips brushed against his. He brought his hand up and cupped my cheek. This felt amazing, nothing like how Oliver had kissed me. This was a hundred times better, and I didn't want this to stop, but I had to know something first, so I suddenly pulled away. But as soon as I looked into Harry's eyes, my breath caught in my throat, and as I didn't know what to do I jumped up of the couch, leaving behind Harry's cloak, and sprinted up the stairs, shouting 'goodnight Harry' behind me.
Quietly, I entered the girls dormitories and slowly shut the door myself. I placed Harry's cloak on my trunk at the end of my bed and went into the bathroom to change into my PJ's. A few moments later, I emerged and climbed into my bed, drawing the curtains around it. I lay my head on the pillow and brought the covers up around myself, but found that I couldn't drift of to sleep. My lips were still tingling, and I could seem to get rid of the butterflies in my stomach. Was it possible that I liked Harry, as more than a friend, and if I did, how did he feel about what had just happened. I guess I would find out tomorrow, and slowly I fell asleep.
I woke up the next morning with the events of the previous night buzzing about in my head, and my lips still tingling. I had to talk to Harry as soon as possible. I checked the clock, and seeing as how it was only 7'clock, I decided that now was as good a time as any, so I quickly got washed and dressed and brushed my hair before hurrying down to the common room to see if he was already up, which I hoped he would be. I fixed my bag on my shoulder as I looked around the common room, just like last night, it was empty apart from one person, Harry.
Funnily enough, even if I had been one of his best friends for over six year now, I felt the butterflies start in my stomach as I approached him. He was staring out of the window as I placed my hand on his shoulder and turned him around. He smiled when he saw me and I gave him one back.
"Listen Harry, about last night, we really need to talk" I said, wringing my hands.
"I agree, but not here, someone could here us, lets go to the Great Hall for breakfast and we can talk there ok?" he said.
I nodded my head and together, in silence we made our way to the Great Hall. It was practically empty when we got there, which was a good thing, as it was still early. Harry and I sat down opposite each other neither of us really knew what to say. So I decided to go first and break the silence.
"Listen Harry, about last night, I was…tired…and upset about this whole thing that has happened with Oliver and such, so I think that it might be best if we just forget about what happened and go back to normal, ok? And not tell anyone about this or Oliver, I'll tell them that in my own time. Is that ok, Harry?" I said, looking up at him.
He didn't say anything for a while, then he finally spoke up.
"Yeah, yeah that might be best"
And without another word, he picked up a piece of toast and began to eat. I followed suit, and we sat in silence until I realised that I had left a book I need for first class up in my dormitory.
"Harry, I'll see you in class ok?" I said, standing up.
"Yeah ok" he replied.
He didn't even look up as I left the hall. As I made my way back up the tower I started to wonder if I had done the right thing or not. The look on his face when I told him that we should just forget about it was caused by me. Maybe he does like me, he didn't seem as upset as I thought he would be when I read the letter about what Ginny had said. The only thing was, was that it was hard to believe. I thought that when I said those things to him, he would agree with me and be happy about it, but instead, instead, I hurt him, and now I feel horrible, like I have just made the worst mistake of my life. I stopped dead in my tracks. And maybe, I did. But before I could think about another thing I was shoved aside into an empty classroom, and as I heard the door lock behind me, I turned to see who it was that had pushed me in here. My mouth opened in shock when I realised that it was Oliver who had locked me in here with himself.
