Winning the Heart of "The Boy Who Lived"
Being around so many older brothers has made me fairly bold about getting other people's attention. So I just applied the same rules to getting the attention of "The Boy Who Lived."
"Harry," I began when I'd found him, "It's nice to see you looking happier again."
"Yeah," he answered. "It's nice to know the school finally believes me about Voldemort – oh, I'm sorry."
"It's okay," I interrupted. "Just saying his name isn't going to make me faint."
"Good," Harry smiled.
"So, um, I haven't seen you and Cho together at all lately."
"No," Harry said. "It didn't work out. And really, I don't even care about that much anymore."
I took a deep breath. "What I was wondering is if you'd like to go with me on the next Hogsmeade weekend."
"I'd like that."
As I turned to walk away, I heard Harry call out "Ginny, wait!"
"Yes?" I asked, waiting expectantly.
"We've been through so much, since your first year here. And you were one of the few who believed me, who was there for me when I was hurt. But I heard you didn't have a crush on me anymore."
I put my hands on Harry's shoulders. "If you have a crush on someone once, you always can again."
I thought of something. "My brothers are absolutely going to kill you. They don't think anyone's good enough for their little sister."
Harry laughed. When he calmed down, he told me "Actually, I think Ron's been trying to set us up."
And now I'm sharing in all the attention Harry gets. I don't mind as I haven't gotten much before now.
