I can't believe I'm actually updating. I'm so proud of myself. I might actually get around to finishing this story at one point or another.
To aishteru: I'm not sure if this will be a long story or not yet.
I think it might be longish, but I'm not quite sure.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed. You all rock.


CHAPTER 3: Confessions

When I finally woke up, it was dark already. Looking at the house, silhouettes could be seen on the wall through the kitchen window. It looked like the Weasleys were having dinner.Standing up, I attempted to walk, but I staggered. As I began to fall to the ground, a hand firmly grabbed my wrist and pulled me upright again. When I was safely on the ground, I turned around to see who my savior was. It was none other than Ginny Weasley. Well, that's surprising to say the least.

"Ginny, what are you doing out here? You should be inside having dinner with everyone else."

She shook her head, all the while sporting a huge grin.

"Well, I had to fend off the gnomes," she said as she pointed to a group of angry gnomes who looked as though they would have liked nothing more than terrorizing me while I slept. Now that their chances were ruined, it seemed like the next target they picked would be Ginny.

"Besides," she continued, "You just look so cute when you're asleep."

Despite these words that were clearly meant as some form of flirtation, I ended up feeling sick to my stomach. I guess I really am gay. Any other time, Ginny's comment would have left me blushing furiously, even if I didn't return the feelings. Now what she said was sickening to hear. I leaned against the orange tree and tried to find a way out of this.

"Ginny, you don't mean that."

Advancing towards me, she stood directly in from of me, blocking any form of escape.

"Oh, but Harry, I do…"

She gave me what it seemed she thought was a seductive smile and leaned in for a kiss. As she closed here eyes, I ducked down to the ground. This caused the kiss that was meant for me to be received by the tree. After a moment, Ginny realized what had happened. As she looked down at me, her face was a mask of hurt and confusion.

"Harry, what's wrong? Don't you like me?"

I sighed. I really didn't want to explain this.

"Of course I like you Ginny. You're a great friend and-"

She cut me off.

"That's just it! I don't want to be just friends! Can't you see it? I really like you Harry!"

"But-"

She cut me off again, but this time she was in tears.

"Don't give me some fake excuse! What's wrong with me? Am I ugly, or," she began to whisper, "Is there already someone else?

I looked at her tear stained face, debating whether or not I should tell her. Then she started again.

"Gosh what is it? What's wrong with-"

"Would you just shut up! I don't hate you! It's not you, it's me. I seriously mean that. I'm…I'm gay, ok? I like guys! God, I even have a crush on bloody Draco Malfoy of all people!"

I slumped down into a dejected heap on the cold, hard ground and covered my face with my hands. Ginny's really going to hate me now. To my surprise, nothing harsh came out of her mouth. She just knelt down beside me and wrapped her arms around me.

"Harry, its ok. I mean, sure, the whole Malfoy this is a little creepy, but I'm fine with it.

I gave her a grateful smile.

"You mean it?"

"I sure do. Am I the only one that knows about this?"

I looked down at the ground.

"Yes. And would you mind not telling anyone? I want to be the one that people find out from.

"Sure Harry. I won't tell a soul."

As we walked into the house and up the stairs to bed, I couldn't resist one more comment."Think Ginny, I'm now 'The Boy Who's Gay'!"

She giggled as we went off to our separate rooms. I had way too much excitement for one day. Collapsing on the squeaky bed I use every summer, I fell into a peaceful sleep.

End.

Well, what do you think? I decided I needed an emotional chapter. Now Ginny knows Harry is gay and that he has a crush on Draco Malfoy. The plot thickens! Oh yeah, in the next chapter, there's probably going to be a timelapse containing about 5 days. I mean, come on, you don't really need to read5 more chapters aboutHarry doing meaningless things at theBurrow do you? I didn't think so. Nowdon't forget to push the review button and write me something nice!
