Chapter 5
When
Ginny left, I just stared after her. I could feel a tear roll down my
cheek. True, Harry didn't like her, but to know that she broke the
spell because she knew nobody would love her was very painful. I felt
so guilty. I was supposed to be the sister she never had, and now I
was the one who's going out with the guys she's liked for a long
time. I grabbed Harry's hand and led him out of class.
"Where
are you going?" Snape shouted after us.
When we were out of the
classroom, I pushed Harry against the wall.
"Woa," Harry
laughed.
"Harry, this is serious," I said, another tear
rolling down my cheek.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"I want
to break up," I said as quickly as I could before I lost my
nerve.
"O¼OK," Harry said looking down.
I kept
my head down so Hermione didn't see my smile. I was going to break
up with her. It was just much easier being friends and I didn't
want to hurt Ginny anymore. After the spell, I realized how beautiful
Ginny really was. When Malfoy was flirting and being all sweet up
with Ginny, I realized I was jealous. I like Ginny. I like her. I
just hope she still liked me.
"OK," I repeated.
"Are you
OK?" Hermione asked.
I looked up at her, still grinning, and
assured her I was fine.
"I'm going to go find Ginny," I told
her, running off.
"Ginny! Ginny, where are you?" I heard
Harry yelling. What did he want now? Did the spell fully wear off?
I
stepped out from behind the statue I was hiding behind. Harry ran
right into me and we both fell on the floor.
"OMG! Are you OK?
I'm so sorry!" Harry babbled frantically.
I just laid there. I
ran everything through my head in the last hour and started cracking
up. I was so mad and hurt by what Harry and Hermione had been doing.
I cried more than I had in the last two days then I had in a year.
And now, Harry was chasing me, looking for me because of a spell. It
just came off as funny to me.
"Ginny?" Harry asked a little
nervous, starting to get up. I pulled him back down with me. I
laughed even harder. "I should get Madam Promfrey."
"Harry!
I'm fine!" I laughed. "I just think snape should check his
facts before he says I broke a spell. You should go back with your
other love sick guy friends."
"Ginny. What are you talking
about?" Harry asked bewildered.
"You-your still under the
spell right?" I stopped laughing.
"No, Ginny," Harry said
smiling at me.
"How do you know?" I asked him.
"Ginny. I
know," Harry said.
"Then why are chasing me? Did I leave
something there? Did Snape send you to make things worse for me?" I
asked, suddenly angry. I sat up so I was in a sitting position.
"No,"
Harry said taken aback. "I just, I mean, Hermione just broke up
with me."
"A little late to be the big hero isn't it,
Hermione?" I asked the ceiling. "Uh, anyway," Harry said eyeing
me as if I had gone insane. "I realized I actually liked you. So I
came here to look for you."
"Are you sure the spell is off?"
I asked him, not fully understanding what he just said.
Harry
laughed and all my pain and hatred went away. Harry's laugh can do
that to you. That's when all the lessons got out. AS people got out
of their classes, they stopped and stared at Harry and I on the
floor. Me sitting, him laying. Daniel walked out of the crowd with
Fred and George behind him. Daniel held out his hand and helped me
up. Hermione made her way to the front and gave me a sheepish smile.
Fred and George helped Harry up.
