Chapter Four: Talks and the Heart

Ginny sobbed as she ran down the streets of Hogsmeade.

Harry had kissed her…that meant he loved her, right/

Once again, Ginny wished hat she could rip off Deans ring, sparkling on her finger, and throw it in the gutter, leave it there forever, forget about Dean, love Harry with all her heart. But she knew that as long as her heart was torn between two men, one she had affection for, and one she really loved, her and Harry wouldn't work out. On Dean's side was her caring side, telling her that her being married to Dean would be for the best, which Dean would take care of her.

"But would dean love you, be passionate about you, or just leave you for work everyday with a peck on the cheek and come back, exhausted, with no time for you?" asked the fiery, rebellious side of her that was fiercely defending Harry.

Ginny desperately needed someone to talk to. Hermione would be wonderful, but she couldn't exactly floo herself in the Ministry…Luna would be second best.

Luna stayed at Hogwarts on Hogsmeade weekends because Neville, much less shy after his graduation, would sneak into Hogwarts to "visit" her.

Ginny raced through the passageway connecting to Ravenclaw tower. "Carpe dium," she gasped to the portrait, a scholar stroking his beard. She tumbled into the common room.

Ginny burst into Luna's dorm, only to find Neville and Luna peacefully kissing.

"Who is it," murmured lunar.

"Um…Me, Ginny, but I should probably leave, right?"

Ginny backed out, embarrassed, of the dorm, and ran down the hall to Gryffindor tower.

She sat herself down on a red plush armchair. Her feeling of explosion was still inside her, she needed someone to talk to…she knew who…tonks!

Ginny grabbed a small vial of Floo powder that she always kept, breaking the school rules, inside her jacket, (She is Fred and George's' sis) and flooed herself to Tonk's small flat in London.

Tonks and Kingsley Shacklebot were to be married in 2 weeks. "Everybody's getting married, me and Dean, Ron and Hermione, Harry and Lavender, even Neville and Luna."

Ginny arrived in tonks' rather cluttered flat and called, "Tonks!"

"Yes," yelled Tonks, her purple hair appearing from around the bubble gum pink wall. She stumbled over piles of paperwork and caught onto Ginny's hair.

"Oh, Hello, gin. Why aren't you at school?"

"Um, I took the Floo, it's a Hogsmeade weekend, because I need to talk to you…"

"What's the matter, Ginny, fight with dean?"

"No, Tonks" cried Ginny. "See, my friend Sara Hopkins and I went shopping for my wedding, but then she met her boyfriend, Charles, so she left me, and I went to that new coffee shop, Coffee and Cake. But, Ron had taken Harry to buy some stuff at Quality Quidditch supplies. But then Ron met Hermione, so they went off to Madam Puddifoot's for some serious kissing. So, Harry got dumped, and he came to the same shop and sat down in my booth. And there we were, talking about, oh, you know, regular stuff, and then… and then the waitress spilled drinks all over us, and there was only one bathroom, and when we were cleaning up, he kissed me! And now I feel really guilty because I… I kissed back, and I feel like I'm cheating on Dean!"

Ginny threw herself onto the couch.

"Oh, poor you, "said Tonks. "But Gin, do you really think you should marry Dean if you seem to love Harry so much? I mean remember when Remus and I were together for a while? But then we just found out that we weren't right, and I found Kingsley…" A fond look came over Tonks' face.

"That's just it. I love Harry, but if I break off Dean's engagement, then I'll never forgive myself. If I knew that Dean loved Parvati or Lav, or some other girl, I would feel better, but I don't think so. But anyways, how would I know that Harry really loves me? Maybe he just hasn't seen Lav for a while.

"Gin, I don't think so. First of all, Harry just saw Lav three days ago, at the party. Second, Harry's not the type to kiss somebody for his own pleasure. Ginny, Harry really loves you."

"But then why is Harry getting married to Lavender? Gin, boys' minds work weirdly. Lavender, at least to Harry's Point of view, is a nice girl, albeit a little giggly. She's kind to an extent and he's know her just about all the best part of his life. He feels affection for her. And he's gone through so much strain these past few years, what with the Second War and the Final Battle with Voldemort, that he mistakes this affection for love."

"Tonks, I can only have one soul mate right?"

"DUH, Gin, if you had two, who would you choose?"

"The Better looking one." And so they parted on a rather light note.

Meanwhile

Harry plopped down in his flat, taking a long swig from his Pepsi, and giving his wand a foolish wave, which made it emit red sparks. He needed to talk to someone, talk about his relationship with Lavender and Ginny. Did he really feel something more than brotherly affection for Ginny? He knew he did. But who to talk to? Someone trustworthy, someone that wouldn't go around spreading the secret… his mind wandered to Sirius, but then to the cold, hard fact that he was dead. Then it clicked. Remus.

By the time that Harry had apparated to Remus' apartment in the downtown of London, it was already 5:00. Harry was extremely hungry, so Remus, noticing the rather loud growls from his stomach, fixed him something to eat. 2 years of the good, Voldemort-free life had really helped Remus. Dolores Umbridge was no longer in a position of power, so his woes as a werewolf were gone. As he watched Harry wolf down one of his specialties, curry, he listened to Harry's story.

After it was finished, he sighed thoughtfully.

"ah, girl troubles again?"

"ya, " said Harry dismally. "should it be wrong to love Ginny if I'm engaged to Lavender?" "Lately, I don't know, I think of Lav kinda like I used to think of Ginny, overprotective, but there's not that 'spark' anymore."

"Harry, do you love Ginny?"

"That's what I'm trying to figure out. Gin's so easy to talk to. She shares so many of the same interests: quidditch, Auror training…"

"And what about Lavender? Is she easy to talk to?"

"Not really. She seems to be on the phone whenever I'm there, either with Parvati or Padma, or making conference calls with both. Either that or she's experimenting with hair curling potions. She's sorta like the sister I always imagined, girly, pretty, talkative…but I don't really love her. "

"harry, you love Ginny. Confess!" Remus smiled, then looked around wistfully. After his brief relationship with Tonks, he hadn't really had a significant other.

Back at his flat, Harry wrote this letter,

Ginny,

Please come around to my flat this Saturday for dinner.

Thanks,

Harry

He knew that was Ron and Hermione's day out.
