Chapter 2-

As Ron and I walked downstairs, my head started spinning. Harry into someone else. Harry into ME!..No! No! It couldn't happen...I mean..I'm..I'm ME!

"No!" I said out loud.

"Uh- what?" Ron asked, confused.

"Ron. You're wrong. Harry doesn't like me. At least in that way. He's been in love with Cho for like- ever! He's not gonna go dump her because he has a small thing for his best buds little sister!"

"Ok, ok, fine. Think what you want. All I know is that he couldn't stop talking about you, wondering where you are. Hey I'm your brother...and even I don't even talk that much about you.

He didn't tell me if he really is gonna dump Cho-which I really hope he does- nor did he say that he is into someone else, but he definately is seeing a little something more than the little girl he saved from You-Know-Who in his second year." he concluded.

"I can't believe you did that!" I yelled. "And how would you know whats going on in his head?"

"Ok, fine then Ginny. You wanna know how I know? I can tell because the way he was acting downstairs when you were upstairs was the same way I alwys acted when Hermione wasn't around before we got together!" he said, a blush creeping up his face.

"Ron! RON! Where are you?" came Hermione's voice. Instantly my brothers face lit up- just like mine did whenever Harry came in. Only in this case Hermione's face lit up whenever she saw Ron.

"I'm right hear Herm!" he said.

"Oh hi. Hey Gin, where ya been?" she said.

"In the little girls room."

"Ah well. I'd get out there if I were you. Someone is looking for you." she winked.

As soon as I got outside my eyes immediately went to Harry, who was talking to Fred and George. By the looks of it Alicia and Cho were getting all giddy while admiring Angelina's ring.

I looked at Bill. I always felt really close to my brother. Bill was easily one of the coolest. I went over to him and sat down.

"Hey Gin! What's goin on?" he asked, his fang earring swinging.

"Hmmm...lets see. I feel alone. I mean, like always I am the youngest one hear-nothing new- but this time I really feel left out. I mean everyone has somebody. You have Fleur, even though she's not here. Charlie has his girlfriend who's he's barely told us about, and even though you and Charlie's girlfriends aren't here you still have each other. Fred and George are still themselves but they have Angelina and Alicia, who keep them in line. I used to be able to hang with Hermione, but now she's with Ron and they're always all over each other...and don't even get me started on Harry!" I gushed this all out without even realizing it.

"Don't worry I wont." Bill laughed. "Hey, go talk to Harry, he's all alone."

I nervously leapt from her seat and went over to Harry.

"Hey Harry! Whatcha doing?" I asked.

"Oh hey Gin! Nothing much, just thinking I guess." he said.

"About what?"

"You wouldn't understand." he said.

I smirked at him, "Try me."

"Are you really sure you can handle it?" he said smiling sarcastically now too.

"Uh..yea I think so." I said.

"Ok then..but let's go take a walk. I'd rather not say it where everyone can hear." he got up from the sheet he was sitting on, on the ground, and offered his hand to me. I took it, clearly aware that I was trembling from his touch...so soft!

"So what do you have to say?" I asked.

"Well, it's about Cho."

"Oh," I said.

"See I knew who wouldn't understand. I didn't want to bother you with such stupid stuff. Normally I would go bug Hermione, but it's impossible to pry her away form Ron these days." he said laughing.

"Yea, I know what you mean," I said, laughing too, "But it's so cute. They are so head over heals for each other. It's only a matter of time before they're walking down the aisle." Harry didn't reply.

"It doesn't upset you that they're together does it?" I asked.

"What? No way! I love it that they're together. They are always so happy. It's just that my relationship is falling apart. Cho doesn't give me any freedom. It's like she doesn't trust me. She wants me to move in so she could keep an eye on me as she says, but I don't want that you know. I want to be free. I want her to be the same person she was when I graduated. But she's not, she's different."

I just looked at him not saying anything, afraid that if I spoke it might remind him he's taking to little Ginny Weasley.

"I've talked about breaking up a few times. She pretends she doesn't hear me. Just kisses me and acts like everything's fine, and I didn't say a thing- are you ok?" I gave a little un-intentional jump when he said that she kissed him. I nodded weakly.

"So- so what are you going to do about it?" I asked nervously.

"I don't know," he said miserably..

"Oh." I looked at the floor not sure whether I should be happy or sad about this. I shivered. It felt really cold, even though it was the end of July. Suddenly I felt Harry's arm around my shoulders. When I looked at him he had the expression of a friend helping another friend out, but somehow I didnt think it was. I mean- he knew how hot it was outside and he just put his arm around me like it was really cold out.

"Better?" he asked smiling.

I smiled and he smiled back. This guy was just too perfect. I mean not only does he have a smile that could like melt an iceburg, but he was nice, and friendly, and oh so sweet.

We walked to our lake which was beautiful, and sat down on the bench.He withdrew his arm from my shoulder.

"You've changed a lot Gin, you know that, right?" he said, smiling.

"How?"

"Well, actually, now that I think of it you haven't changed that much. You're not as shy around me, but you're still quiet. Hey, you know what I regret? Not taking you to the Yule Ball in fourth year." he said. I laughed, not really sure where this was going. "I mean- I wanted to take Cho, which I didn't, but I ended up going with Parvati. I feel I would've had more fun with you."

"I think I would have had more fun too...looking at who I had as a partner." I said thoughtfully. Harry laughed.

"See what I mean? A couple of years ago the closest form of communication you would give me would be a look, and then an elbow in butter." He laughed while I blushed. "All though I was freaked out at the time because someone was totally obbsessed over me, now I think it was rather cute."

"Should I be thankful?" I asked playfully.

"Yes," he laughed.

Then we heard talking in the distance. We looked at each other, and together we followed the voices. The voices led us to the other side of the lake where we found Ron and Hermione.

"Hermione, I love you." we heard Ron say.

"Urgh I do NOT need to hear my brother saying this," I mumbled.

"Gin, do you think he's proposing?"he asked.

"Only one way to find out," and we moved closer.

"Ron, do I even need to tell you that I love you too? I mean I though we've established that-like- four years ago," we heard Hermione say.

"Good," came Ron's voice, "Then could you answer a question for me?"

"Oh my god! Oh my god! I get to hear my brother propose!" I squealed, but Harry slapped his hand over my mouth, and stood staring at Ron and Hermione with a look of deep aprehension.

"Uh- I guess I could," we heard Hermione say. By this point I was jumping up and down on the balls of my feet, and Ron knealed down in front of Hermione, who looked absolutely shocked.

"Hermione Granger, you are my best friend, the love of my life, so I will ask you, with all the courage I can get, will you marry me?" Ron said the last part very fast.

Hermione by this point was crying.

"Ron, I would be throwing away my entire life if I didn't answer this question with just one answer, yes. Yes I will marry you Ronald Weasley." Ron leapt to the ground and pulled her into a hug. Hermione was crying harder than ever and I could even see tears of joy in my brothers eyes.

By this point I was even crying, quietly, but enough for someone to notice. I looked up quickely to see if Harry had seen me crying. He had. He was looking down at me and smiling.

"Sorry," I said quickly. "It's just that seeing my brother so happy, is getting me to think if I will ever be the person getting proposed to."

"You will, Ginny. I mean any guy, who was loved by you, and didnt take advantage of that, is the biggest jack-ass in the world."

He looked down at me strangely and then looked back at Ron, who was now slipping the ring onto Hermione's finger. We saw Hermione go in to kiss him, but Ron pulled away.

"One second. Harry! Ginny! You can come out now!" he screamed. I gave Harry a wild look of surprise, -how did he know?- and then ran out the hug Ron.
