Handling Heartache
Harry and Ginny walked across the lawn together towards Hagrid's hut, not speaking a word. Both of them were taking in the crisp, cool air. Harry found it quite soothing as though a magical herb was being soaked into his skin, completely calming him and resting him.
They knocked on Hagrid's door and heard Fang barking inside excitedly at the sound of company.
"Oh, hi Harry!" Hagrid said happily. "...and who yeh got here?"
"This is Ginny, Ron's little sister." Ginny waved and smiled at Hagrid, edging closer to Harry as Fang attempted to lick her.
"Oh! A'course it is." Hagrid said looking guilty. "Sorry is' jus' I don' expect seein' you with Harry when he cut himself off for a second looking slightly shocked. "Wait, where are Ron and Hermione?"
Harry froze. "I-er-it's..." both Hagrid and Ginny were gazing at him waiting for a full-sentence explanation. He might as well just give them a summary.
"Oh..." harry said finally, giving up, "It's just, they don't really treat me as a close friend anymore now that they're going out." He said quickly looking at his feet, and he plopped down in a huge chair and sighed. Ginny sat beside him.
"I see," Hagrid replied while fixing them a cup of tea. "Well, ter tell yeh the truth, they haven' been treatin' me the best either." Harry gave Hagrid a questioning look and he continued.
"They came ter my ouse a couple days back excitin' me fer a nice visit," he said taking a gulp of tea. "But, after a couple a minutes they ended up making me leave the room.
"But I didn't stay gone fer long!" he said sternly straightening his beard. "No way, I wasn' abou' ter let 'em do that in my house!"
Harry caught Ginny's eye and they both broke into laughter at the thought of Ron and Hermione.
"It's strange, and I'm sure sometimes gross for you, Harry," Ginny said with her hands on her knees. "But," she continued. "Don't take it too personally. Because you don't even know what it's like to love so deeeply like them, you know?"
Harry didn't know what to say. Why was everyone telling him this? "They all have no idea what I'm feeling," Harry thought to himself.
"Y-yes I do." Harry mumbled. Suddenly regretting these words.
"Yeh do?" Hagrid said.
"You've been in love, Harry?" Ginny asked looking interested. Wondering why he'd said this, Harry responded worriedly, "Y-no I mean yes!."
"Really? Who?" Ginny pleaded excitedly scooting to the edge of the chair they were shaing, not taking her eyes off of him. He looked back at her, his lip twitching nervously. He wanted to tell her, but not in front of Hagrid.
"N-nevermind," he muttered. Ginny looked very disappointed.
"Well, tough stuff that business with Malfoy, eh?"
