A/N- This Chapter is in Ginny's POV and each chapter is a flashback from a night/day each main character regrets and the aftermath of it. I'm a music junkie so a lot of chapters will have lyrics in them. Comment and if you flame, flame constructively, don't just say "this is bad stop writing" tell me why it's bad.
Chapter One- A Night Out
(( Coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine. Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all. ))
I hadn't been out for a while when my brother invited me to go out with him and his friends. I wasn't really sociable and I kind of liked it more inside my house alone than I did out in the world with people. Since my last year at Hogwarts, I'd been out a total of three times, and it'd been almost five years since then. I'd had a boyfriend, but Ron had insisted upon bringing Dean Thomas as my date; he hated Jimmy. I hated Dean. Ron probably had no idea why we even broke up. He was so annoying.
"Ginny!"
A chorus of voices called for me at my door. I wasn't ready yet!
"Just a minute!" I called back. I wasnt planning on using magic but it was my only choice. I took out my wand and put on my makeup. I walked to the door and opened it. Everyone was here;Ron, Harry, Hermione, Dean, and...Susan! To tell the truth, I never liked Susan. She always though she was better than me and I hated her for it.
"Hey, guys." I said, budging a fake smile. I thought it was convincing, but something on Harry's face told me it wasn't.
"Hey, Ginny!" Harry said, stepping forward and taking me by my hand. I was a little surprised. What was he doing? Susan looked at me oddly and I figured out why she was there. She was Harry's date, but he didn't seem to be very interested in her.
Harry and I hadn't dated since my 5th year, and at the end of it he broke up with me because he was being noble. I had needs, though, so I moved on to other boys, men, guys, whatever. I didn't know howI felt about Harry anymore. And besides, I only agreed to going out with them because Jimmy had to work late. He was going to be back in the morning, though.
Everyone followed Harry and me but they weren't really close, which gave me and Harry some alone time. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he was hitting on me...Before we knew it we were at the Hog's Head and sitting at a table with our drinks. We all sat around talking and laughing, but then the laughing stopped. The talking stopped...everything...stopped. In one swift instant, Harry had kissed me softly on the lips and a swirl of so many emotions hit me all at the same time. It was confusing because I didn't expect the kiss, and I wasn't sure I wanted it, especially since he was dating Susan. And Susan, what was she going to do to me after this! She'd hate me forever! I mean, not like I didn't absolutely hate her, I just didn't want to be hated. I pushed Harry away when I regained my senses and looked at him, my eyes wide. Everyone else was looking at us. Why would he do that?
(( It was only a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss! ))
I awoke the next morning not realizing the insanity the one little kiss had caused. I walked into my kitchen to find Ron and Hermione sitting at my table, helping themselves to breakfast.
"Where'd the food come from?" I asked them, perplexed as to why they were there but deciding that was more important.
"We made it." Ron answered, giving me an odd look as if I were stupid. "We came here to talk to you about kissing Harry last night and--"
I heard a gasp behind me. Jimmy had come through the door and eavesdropped. He looked at me the way he would look at a common street whore or a pile of filth. I had never felt as horrible and unclean as I did at that moment when Jimmy stared at me with his huge blue eyes and they filled up with tears. Ron, being as insensitive as he was, started laughing at Jimmy.
"W--what!" he yelled, throwing the flowers he had brought me on the floor. I looked away from him. I couldn't bear it.
"It meant nothing." I said quietly. Ron and Hermione both looked at me, surprised. Did they really think I still had that sad schoolgirl crush on Harry? Did they think feelings from my fifth year still lingered? Jimmy looked more angry at this. He looked around and I became troubled; What was he doing? The next thing I knew Jimmy had yelled something. I was out cold.
--BLAH! Okay, yeah, I know, flame away, that was horrible. Well, more chapters coming soon (if you actually plan on reading and didn't hate this first chapter) I think one or two more chapters about Ginny then Harry's regret. KTHNXBIII
