Chapter two- Sacrifice

As I walked through the corridors on my way to the lake to spend time with some friends; I was pulled into a dark corridor and pinned against the wall.

" What in the world!"

My body responded immediately and I took out my wand and just in time I realized it was Harry. I slowly put my wand away.

" Yes Harry?"

He took a breath and spoke,

" Cho is angry with me for speaking the truth. She thinks I'm just being a jealous boyfriend."

I hate sacrificing my love…but it's for a good cause.

" Flowers, candy and just explain to her."

Harry looked at me and smiled.

"Thanks Gin.!"

He embraced me as usual and took off.

Giving a boy I love how to fix his relationship…some girls would call me crazy. Well, hello. You've just met the stupidest girl in the world. Harry is my friend and I want the best for him. I cancelled my plans and walked to the Gryffindor Common Room and sat at the window; watching Harry and Cho make up. My eyes were filled with so many tears and my mind was filled with so many thoughts that I didn't realize Harry and Cho finished their conversation and that Harry was standing in front of me. Just looking at me.

"What's wrong Ginny?"

I hesitated. I didn't want to tell him the truth.

" Cramps…it's nothing. Just girl stuff. "

He looked at me and I began to turn red. I ran to the girl's dormitory. I'd rather make a fool of myself by natural girl stuff instead of telling the truth that might effect our friendship.

A few weeks later… Harry made another visit. Although, what he had shared was satisfying to me, yet at the same time sad.

" You guys… I have some terrible news."

It seemed as he had just been stabbed repeatedly in the heart. He hesitated, then looked at the floor.

" Cho and I …. Broke up."

I was happy within, but both inside and out, I felt the worse sorrow one could feel for another in depression. It felt as if I could feel Harry's heart broken pain.

"I'm sorry to hear that."

All of us said one after another.

" Harry…. You do know that Hermione, Ron, and I will always be here for you."

He looked up. I've never seen anyone look so horrible. Especially a boy. His eyes were red as a rose and his tears seemed as if he could fill up an empty pool. At the moment, I had nothing on my mind but pushing Cho Chang off a cliff. I would never hurt Harry's feelings if I were his girlfriend. Although, in reality I'm not. In my day dreams I suddenly become Mrs. Harry James Potter. Harry stood up and walked slowly away, and while walking away he said,

" Excuse me."

Harry ran out the Gryffindor Common Room. I followed after him; and as I followed, Ron wanted to as well, but Hermione grabbed his arm and made him sit back down. As I ran out the Gryffindor Common Room, I heard Hermione and Ron speaking about how they should let us talk. I found Harry sitting on a rock near the lake, with Hedwig perched on his left. I walked slowly towards him, with the fear that he might tell me to go away. Surprisingly, he offered me a spot on his right. I took a seat next to him. I then began to talk to him gently. Trying as much as possible not to let all my emotions out at once. When the moment would be right, I would tell him that I love him. But that won't be for months.

" Harry, if Cho Chang didn't respect how you felt, then she isn't the one for you. I know the first break- up hurts. But you have to let her go. Besides, a girl who doesn't understand you, doesn't deserve to be with such a great boy like you."

"Thanks Gin. You're a sweetheart. I know I can trust you a lot, and…"
He paused.

" And…?"

" I want to show you something. You'd be the only person to see what I'm about to show you. So you can't say anything."

" Ok. I promise Harry."

He slowly pulled his robe off and rolled up his left sleeve. Tears began to make their way out of my eyes. Tears of sorrow, pain, depression; all kind of tears related to sorrow came out of my eyes. Harry slit his wrist three times! Harry James Potter slit his wrist!

"Harry. A girl is not worth your blood! Never. How could you do such a stupid thing? Any other reasons besides Cho?"

He wiped my tears away, but it didn't help at all. Because my eyes couldn't hold it in. It's just too much. I love him with all my heart, for so long, and he's cutting his wrist. He's hurting himself. There is no worse pain, than knowing someone you love is hurting themselves.

"Ginny, it was school, life, and quidditch. So much pressure and pain. It seems as if the only pain I could control is the pain I could release on myself."

I slid my fingers against his cuts, more tears came out.

"Harry look at me. Please. Just look at me for a minute."

He immediately took his eyes off the lake and looked into my eyes.

"Harry I want you to promise me that you will never cut yourself again! That's what I am here for. I'm here so that you can talk to me. I will never say no to you if you need or want to talk to me. Do you promise me? Remember Harry you can't make a promise you can't keep. Harry make this promise with all the love you have for me as a friend."

" Ginny…I promise you. I promise this to you with all my heart."

We then embraced each other. Tears fell onto our robes as we embraced. As we were hugging I kept thinking: How much I wish I can tell him that I, Ginny Weasley, love you, Harry James Potter."
