Chapter 5: True Feelings?
Ginny walked into the common room smiling and humming. She began to walk towards the stairway leading to the girls dormitories and didn't realize her humming woke somebody up.
"Ginny?"
Ginny jumped and turned to see Harry Potter, who had marks on his face from the book he was sleeping on. "Bloody hell! You scared the shit out of me Harry!"
"What are you doing up this late?" he asked her.
"Just went for a walk," she said to him. She saw something on his face but couldn't quite point it out. 'Was that worry in Harry's eyes? ' she asked herself. "What are you doing up this late?"
Harry thought that it was probably best to believe her. He shrugged. "I've been studying for Potions all night long. I still don't get it."
"That sucks. Well, I'm going to bed and I suggest you do the same. You look like hell Harry."
"Yea I know." He watched Ginny walk towards the stairs. "Ginny." Ginny stopped just before her foot landed on the second step.
"Yea?"
"Umm…….I…….I just wanted to say…." Harry hesitated. "….goodnight." She smiled down at him and headed back up. Harry cursed himself for not telling her what he truly wanted to say.
