Somebody Like You

Chapter Two: Response

Ginny sprang up from the couch. She had only been asleep for about ten minutes. She had been woken up by something pecking at her face. She looked around, wondering what it was, when she saw, of course, Pig hooting proudly, a response letter tied to her.

Ginny beamed at Pig. "Good boy!" She handed him a few owl treats. On the front of the letter, in what Ginny always considered Harry's signature color, emerald, was Ginny's name, written beautifully. Of course, everything Harry did was beautiful. She cursed herself again. "AARGH! Shut UP Virginia!" She yelled to herself. Amie and Pig stared at her for a moment, then went right back to whatever they were doing. She blushed at how foolish she was when it came to Harry.

Her crush on Harry had been just a childhood crush. She knew he didn't love her, and knew she should get over him, but even through her relationships with Michael and Dean…she still felt something for him. She tore open the letter, but trying to be careful so she didn't ruin the beautif-…the writing on the front. Inside was a short but sweet letter.

Hi Ginny!

Long time no hear! How are you? I'm doing well, thank you. Congratulations on getting your own flat and getting a job!

Work's been going ok I guess. I'm doing what I love to do, and I'm getting reasonable pay, so I guess that's good. I'm sorry that you don't get many visitors. Life around here doesn't seem very lonely, at least not to me, first because I'm used to being by myself, second because I'm always so busy, I don't really have time to be lonely. I'd really enjoy visiting you! I miss you and Ron and Hermione a lot! Well I should probably let you go…but how about I stop by for a day or so? I'll apparate.. I Can't wait to see you! I'll come over whenever you'd like. I hope to see you soon. Have fun, and keep smiling!

Love always, Harry.

Ginny smiled. Harry was coming to visit her! She smiled at the letter. It was so Harry. She quickly got another piece of parchment and jotted:

Harry,

Great! How about you come over now? See you later,

Ginny

"Oh, I have to clean! Wait, I already did that. Well there's nothing to do but wait I guess." After she sent the response back with Pig, she bent down to pick up her magazine and sat down to read it for the third time. After about three minutes, she jumped up half a mile to a hand on her shoulder.

Again, an improved chapter! I hope you enjoyed! Read and Review!

Love,

S.
