Chapter 6
Eavesdropping Gets You Nowhere
Ginny closed the door and tossed her bag onto her chair, which made a muffled..plump, and then headed towards the bathroom to freshen up her makeup and brush out her hair. She knocked on the door, not wanting to walk in on Harry, and no one answered so she entered. Ginny walked over to the sink and began to brush out her hair when she heard talking next door, it was Ron and Harry. Instinctively Ginny went over to the door and locked it, then placed her face against it careful not to make any noise and began to listen to the conversation. Normally she would never do something like this but, in this case, she did. A dance was coming up and Ginny wanted to get the lasted scoop on who the two were going to ask, and she hoped that she would hear her own name come into the conversation.
" Who do you think you'll ask to the dance?" she heard Ron ask quietly
" Well, there is one girl I would like to ask, but she has not a clue that I'm interested in her," he replied equally quiet
" And who'd that be?" he asked beginning to sound annoyed
" Well, I would like to ask, Hermione to go to the dance with me, but she would never say yes. she would say ' Harry, I thought we were just going to be friends,' " Harry said, in a high pitched female voice, as if to mimic Hermione's voice
" You, should give it a try anyway, I mean its worth a shot. Look at it this way, if you don't ask her...," was all Ginny heard, for a tear began to run down her cheek, and suddenly she felt helpless
Ginny knew that she would never have a chance with Harry, It was absolutely pointless to go on liking him. She just had to let it go, he would never like her, she had given up. Ginny turned around reluctantly and quickly finished her hair and her makeup not really doing it correctly, but just doing it so that it was over and she could go mope. That was all she felt like doing, moping, and sulking. Suddenly she could careless about being the Head girl, or being successful in school. All that mattered was that Harry didn't and would never like her. He was going to ask Hermione to the ball, and Hermione would probably say yes, and Ginny had no way of stopping this.
She glanced at her watch which said 3:54 and walked towards the door, opening it slowly as if her hand was broken. Then she started down the hall, trying to calm herself down and act like her life was perfect. By the time she had reached the library doors, she had managed to look happy again, which with no doubt had taken a lot of guts to do.
Ginny entered the library and headed towards the back of the long room, searching for a trace of Hermione. She found her at the usual table, with none other than a book in her hands which she was skimming slowly, while taking down notes.
" Hey Herms, whatcha reading?" Ginny asked putting on an unconvincing smile and sitting across from her
" Oh, hi, Gin, um...its called Intermediate Transfiguration," she said putting a book mark in it and closing the book; placing it with the rest of her books
" So, what did you want to tell me?" Hermione asked excitedly
" Oh, well, you'll find out at dinner time anyway because you have a meeting with Dumbledore, but I'll tell you anywise. There is going to be a Valentines day ball on none other than Valentines day," Ginny said
" Wow, really, I love going to balls, they are so much fun," she replied as a dreamy look brushed over her face
" Yeah, me too," Ginny lied, trying to make Hermione happy without telling her about what she had heard
" So, are you going to ask Harry to the ball?" Hermione asked, smirking at Ginny who had begun to turn quite pale
" No, I'm not sure. I don't really like him much anymore, I mean he doesn't like me he likes...well...someone else," Ginny replied. She didn't want to tell Hermione that Harry liked her, she wanted to avoid that subject at all costs.
" Oh, ok. So who do you like?" Hermione asked as she picked up a piece of parchment and a quill and began to scribble down words.
Ginny had no clue what to say, she wasn't expecting that to come up at all. She thought of all of the boys in her class that she had thought was cute before; there was Treveis Welmsai, Connor Hewly, Samuel Gordeck, and Ethan Rettith. Ginny decided that Connor had been the most attractive one so she just spit it out.
" I think Connor Hewly is pretty cute," Ginny said trying to smile
" Oh, yeah I've seen him before, actually to tell you the truth I think he likes you," She replied looking up from her parchment, which was filling up quickly
" Really?" Ginny asked, that had cheered her up quite a bit. Someone actually liked her, and someone that she could have an actuall chance with. " How'd you know?" she asked
" Well, one day I was walking down that hall and I happened to hear him and his friend,Samuel Gordeck, talking about who they liked. Connor started to cough and then quietly said Ginny Weasley. So he obviously likes you Gin," Hermione said as she finished up her piece of parchment, switching to another, and then once again scribbling on it quickly.
This had made Ginny feel a lot better. She felt important, admired, loved, she just felt all around relived. She decided that she wanted to write about this in her diary before it got to late, considering it was 6:00, and time for dinner; Ginny stood up and brushed off her cloak and pushed in her chair.
" Hey Hermione, do you know its 6:00, dinner will be starting in a half hour," she said now sounding much happier
" Oh, right, then I'll meet you by the doors in a couple of minutes, lets say 6:25, okay?" she replied; closing her book and shoving it along with her parchment, quill and wand into her bag.
" Yeah, okay, then I can have enough time to get out of this god-forsaken cloak and change into something more comfortable," she said jokingly waving slightly at Hermione " See you then,"
" Okay, see you in a minute,"Hermione replied slinging her bag over her shoulders and standing up. She headed towards the bookshelves and began putting the books away that she hadn't needed.
Ginny headed towards her room walking more happily now, things seemed to become much better when she had a little chat with Hermione.
