Hey ya'll! This is my first fic! Omgoodness this is so exciting! Woot! Well, I hope ya'll enjoy this fic. I intend for it to have so comedic moments, But anyway… Read and Review! I also accept flames! I like to know what I suck at in writing!
Disclaimer: I unfortunately do not own anything related to Harry Potter… not the characters… not what has happened in the books… :tear: But! I own the idea of this story!
Until I knew you...
Chapter 1. Then End of Hell is Near... Possibly...
She was only 15. Oh she is 17 now, but she still cannot get over the worst day of her entire life. Dumbledore's death... It seemed only yesterday she was about to take her O.W.L.S. and Dumbledore would have wished them good luck. But that time was long gone, and no one else would ever experience it. But to tell you the truth, it was not just Dumbledore's death that scarred poor Ginevra Weasly. She could no longer be with the boy she had loved since she was eleven.
Harry Potter had spent about a week of his 7th year at the place he had called his one and only true home. The last year at Hogwarts was supposed to be a year of celebration! Excitement! And full imagination of what was to come. Harry Potter no longer cared. He could not stand being in a place where his mentor, and one could say his father figure, had little memories of himself preserved everywhere on the grounds and in the castle. So he left and never came back.
It was what Dumbledore would have wanted him to do, right? Ginny constantly tried to remind herself... Even though it split her wounded heart in two to think about it.
It was the last week of Ginny's year of celebration. Even though she hardly did any celebrating... Oh lets face it. Ginny sat around the common room thinking silently to herself or sleeping all year long. She sat at the Gryffindor table thinking about how much different her life would be if Harry were still there. Possibly still being in the warm comfort of his arms. He would be the only home she had now. Well, Ron and Hermione were living on their own, together . They were the top priority in each other's lives now. Ginny was happy for them. Sorta... she did not really feel happy about anything anymore. But anyway, she was disconnected with her other family members...the home she grew up in could not be her home anymore. Her Mum and Dad were evacuated out of their house after a certain "Glompage of the Death Eaters" incident. IT WAS HORRIBLE! YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN SCARRED, TOO!
Anyway, Luna Lovegood walked up to Ginny. Long strands of light blonde hair came down from her hat that flashed lights in an assortment of colors saying "6 DAYS UNTIL GRADUATION!"
"Nice hat." Ginny said sarcastically. Luna smiled.
"You haven't really enjoyed this year, have you?" she asked.
"Fluffinsnargl..."Ginny stared down at the table.
"Look... I know your life couldn't have sucked anymore in the last two years, but your going to have to celebrate the good things eventually!"
"Luna," Ginny glared. "what good things have happened to me in the last two years? The war has gotten worse," her mind's eye flashed to a picture of Harry at that moment." I haven't seen or heard from my parents in over a year, my family is not connected with me, and you, my dear Luna, are the only true friend I have. That is the only thing that could possibly be keeping me from setting an exploding curse on my brain." A tear ran down her cheek. She felt embarrassed about being dramatic.
Big girls shouldn't cry... she thought to herself.
"Ginny I'm so sorry..." Luna hugged her tightly in a hug only someone who cares could give. "BUT! Listen to this! This is so exciting! I've got a job lined up after I graduate! My dad got me a job at 'The Quibbler'!" Her eyes widened and sparkled.
Ginny drifted in and out of the conversation. She got lost when Luna started talking about the 'Attack of the Horkulumps' on a small muggle town and how "THEY COULD COME RIGHT NOW AND EAT US ALL ALIVE!" Ginny began to think about Harry. She could not remember a time when she did not recently think about him every five minutes. There was a pause of silence from Luna. And then she spoke.
"Ginny! Johnny Rikerson is staring RIGHT AT YOU!" Luna exclaimed.
Ginny lazily looked over her shoulder. Luna was right. A tall, blonde, handsome looking boy at the Hufflepuff table gazed up at her from his book.
Oh great another Cedric Diggory... Lets see how he drops dead this time... Oh that was bad for even me... She thought slightly shamefully.
"He's not my type." Ginny said with no interest... even though he was fairly good looking... like Cedric Diggory.
No, he is not better looking than Harry. I am not going to give up on the man I have loved for so long...
Are you kidding yourself? Harry has a life of his own now. He doesn't need you now!
He'll come back! I just know it! He loves me... even though he can't come and see me, I know he loves me as much as I love him.
"Oh come on! You know he's dead sexy!" Luna said.
"I'm not interested." She said firmly.
Fine! Just miss out on a perfectly good piece of ass...
I WILL! GOSH! SHUT UP! Who says you have a God damn say in this! ?
ME! GOSH! YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO ME MORE OFTEN! I know what's good for you! You never listen!
THATS RIGHT! Because I don't have to! Now leave me alone!
Oh come on… you haven't had any action in awhile… you so want to get into bed with him…NO I DON'T! I'M NOT INTERESTED! GOD DAMNIT! I'm not talking to you anymore!
"Well, gee, I'm sorry." Luna said cautiously. "Hey I've got to go back to the Ravenclaw table, okay? McGonagall is giving me the eye!" Luna imitated it." I'll see you in Defense Against the Dark Arts!" And she cheerfully skipped off. Ginny always found it amusing that that an 18 year old young woman still skipped at her own free will.
Ginny smiled and dropped her head to the table. She listened to ditzy girls such as Romilda Vane (whom she despised with a fiery passion) gossip about nearly everyone in the school... or at least in Gryffindor... Nope. It was definitely the entire school.
She heard the screech of several owls and felt something lightly tap the back of her head. Ginny picked up and envelope that rested lightly her thick ember hair. She lifted up her head and looked at the slightly messy writing on the outside of the letter. She recognized the handwriting immediately. Ginny finally received something that made her truly smile for the first time in ages. The envelope read:
To Ginny Weasly from Harry Potter
Yes, I know! A cliffhanger already! But you so want to know what happens, right? Hopefully. Well, I will try to post the next chapter later this week. I hope ya'll enjoyed!
