Chapter Three- Secrets

Harry and I became close friends. We spent every day with each other. Laughing and enjoying the time shared with each other. Realizing that we are always going to be happy if we had each other as friends. I decided that I shouldn't tell Harry that I love him. Thinking that it will ruin our great friendship. So I kept it in. Although, Hermione kept suggesting that I tell him now, that he is an available boy. I disagreed. I don't want to lose our friendship if we were to ever break-up. I love him that much, that I'm willing to sacrifice any bit of opportunity close to being his girlfriend.

I sat at a table in the library reading, when someone approached the table I was sitting at and asked,

" Can I sit here miss?"

I looked up and saw Harry and smiled.

" Of course you can silly."

He smiled and took a seat across me.

"Ginny, I found out today that a girl likes me. Actually, she's madly in love with me."

My heart dropped, once I heard those words. Once again I looked up, from my book. He seemed so happy.

"And I've been thinking…and I love this girl. I just never realized it.."
"Well, who is she?"

" I want you to meet her tonight. It's a Gryffindor. Can you meet me in the Gryffindor Common Room at 11 P.M. ?"

" Yeah. Sure."

"Thanks Ginny. I'll see you later. Ok?"

He ran out the library. I just sat there looking at the empty seat that he sat in. Why did this have to happen again. Why was I being so stubborn. I should have listened to Hermione. Goodness. I…just…I can't believe it. My pain…it began to come back. The painful love I felt for Harry. But once again…I have to sacrifice to make him happy.

10:57 P.M. and I'm walking to the Gryffindor Common Room from the girls dormitory. By the time I reached the Common Room it was 11 P.M. Harry sat there with excitement. He smiled and sat me down next to him.

"Ginny, are you excited? You're going to meet my new girlfriend."

Girlfriend? I smiled at him trying to hide the pain I felt within. Ten minutes later, the girl still wasn't in the Common Room.

" She stood me up Gin."

He sighed. I hugged him.

"These are for you Ginny Weasley."

Confused I let go of him and found a dozen red roses in his hand. I smiled.

"But why?"

"You're that girl I love. You're the girl that I love so much and the girl that I found out loves me so much and for so long."

I smiled and looked at him. Hermione couldn't take anymore of my stubbornness so she took charge and told him. Gosh, you have to love her.

"Ginny, I've come to realize, after all this time, that I've loved you this whole time. Before Cho. Before everything began to happen. When I first met you, I thought I would never see your beauty again, I'd only see you in my memory. All I've ever needed was right here in front of me."

He took hold of my hand and looked into my eyes. I couldn't believe it.

" Ginny Weasley would you like to be my girlfriend?"

I smiled with delight.

" I would love to be your girlfriend. And I promise not to break your heart."

"Ginny, you can't make a promise you can't keep remember?"

"Of course I remember. And that's a promise I can keep. Because I've loved you for so long, so therefore, my love for you will never fade."

Harry smiled.

"One question Ginny."

"Yes?"
"Why did you advise me when I had problems with Cho?"

I looked at him and sighed.

"Because I wanted the best for you and I wanted you happy."

"But if you would have told me, you would have saved me the pain and I would have been much more happier. You're the best. You're the one for me. "

I smiled and something that I least suspected happened within the next two seconds. Harry kissed me softly on the lips. His lips were soft. I've been longing for a kiss from him for so long. Everything seems to be going well. I'm the happiest girl in the world. Nothing can bring me down, just as long as I have Harry at my side, as my boyfriend.
