Disclaimer- nope not mine...don't own anything.

MAJOR AUTHOR'S NOTE- I know that throughout the entire story it was from Ginny's point of view, but I'm going to do this chapter from both Harry's point of view, and me telling the story of how Harry fell in love with Ginny. Next chapter we'll go back to where we left off (at Ginny's house) and from Ginny's POV.

Chapter 4- A look into Harry's life.

"Harry!" came Cho's voice over the phone.

"Uh- Cho?" Harry answered.

"My goodness Harry how long have you known me and you still don't recognize my voice?" Cho gasped, and Harry could hear the tears in her voice.

"I knew it was you," Harry said quickly not wanting to have to deal with another crying fit, "but I wasn't expecting you to call me at," he checked his clock, "three in the morning."

"Oh well I just wanted to say that I miss you!" Cho said cheerfully.

"Ok I miss you too, but couldn't that have waited until the morning since we are going to breakfast with your parents tomorrow?" Harry asked as politely as possible.

"Well I guess. Oh well. So what are you doing?" Cho continued. Harry shook his head in shock.

"Well I was sleeping until you woke me up, so now I'm talking to you half asleep."

"Honestly, you get so grumpy when you're tired Harry. You know Cedric was never like that, although I never did see him until breakfast so..." and she kept babbaling on and on.

Harry's POV

Unbelievable! Five years and she's still comparing me to Cedric. Even before we were going out she would get upset when I didn't want to talk about him all the time. And I can't believe she called me at three in the morning AGAIN! This is what the second time this week? I just don't get it...it's not like I'm doing anything behind her back.

"HARRY are you even listening to me?" Cho's voice rang in Harry's ears, making him leap away from the phone.

"Uh-yea. You know I got to get to sleep. Training at 7 tomorrow, and then we are meeting your parents at 10 right?"

"Yea. Uh, before I go Harry, I want to ask you something. What do you think of Ron's little sister?" she asked very serious.

"Ginny?"

"That's her name isn't it?" Cho replied sarcastically.

"Yea. Umm...I don't know why you're asking me this, but she's a really good friend, one of my best, I mean we go way back. I saved her from Tom Riddle in her first year. It was funny, she was always really shy around me because she had this huge crush on me. Then eventually she gave up and went out with a few guys. She's Ron's sister so I see her whenever I go over there," Harry said, gushing everything until Cho interrupted.

"Ok Harry I get it! I only asked what you think of her, not every little detail. I just want to make sure that you're not - oh never mind! Imagine me thinking you two had something going on!. Well bye bye! Kisses!" and she hung up.

That got Harry to thinking.

Harry's POV

Have something going on with Ginny. Hmmm... well that's certainly different. Now that I think of it I guess I was always attracted to her in a way, but not much- I mean she's Ron's sister, AND I'm in love with Cho.

"Are you really?" asked a little voice in his head.

"What?" he mentally asked back.

"Are you really in love with Cho?"

'Of course I mean I've always been in love with her," Harry told himself again.

"OoOoOok then. Then why did u kiss Ginny when you graduated Hogwarts?" his voice asked him.

" I only meant for that to be a friendly kiss."

" But it didn't turn out like that did it now, my friend?" Harry's friend asked again.

"Will you just SHUT THE HELL UP!" Harry yelled, this time out loud. The voice quieted down, but as Harry drifted off to sleep, he kept hearing some part of his head reflecting on what Cho had just said,

"Ok Harry I get it! I only asked what you think of her, not every little detail. I just want to make sure that you're not - oh never mind! Imagine me thinking you two had something going on!"

dream/flashback

"Harry! Congratulations!"

"Oh- uh- thanks Ginny," I said. I was trying to act happy, but I wasn't. I was a mess.

"Harry- uh- are u alright?" Ginny had asked, so. I figured I should tell her the truth. We had both outgrown that awkward stage.

"Um well...not really Gin, you see. Well today is the last day of Hogwarts. Where am I gonna go? What am I gonna do? This is the ONLY real home I ever had...beside for your place of course."

"Look Harry," She said, " You know my parents LOVE you. You can stay with us whenever you like. When I graduate I am gonna by myself a house- and your always welcome there. Ron and Hermione- well they are gonna be moving in together in about a year...and I'll be willing to bet anything that you would be welcome there too. And sooner or later you're gonna get a job so you'll have money for your own place."

I looked at her, and cursed myself for not noticing how much life she always brought with her and how beautiful she was, then said,

"You know, Gin, I know we never talked much, but I always felt really close to you. Maybe it was because of what happened in your first year, but- uh -I've always felt confident in you. Thanks."

Then, I did something I never would have dreamed of doing, I leaned down and kissed her. A soft gentle kiss on the lips. I meant that merely as a thank- you kiss, but for some reason when I leaned down, I felt embarrassed, almost nervous. When we broke apart Ginny looked as though she was about to faint.

I was losing my mind. I have a girlfriend! I'm not supposed to be getting this nervous over Ginny. I mean I never get this nervous over Hermione! Or Cho...

Cho. Cho was my girlfriend. I was SUPPOSED to get nervous around Cho. She had graduated the previous year, and had come to see me. What do I do? I looked down at Ginny who was still staring at me in shock, all I wanted to do at that moment was kiss her. Kiss her until the world stopped, until we couldn't take it any more, until she pushed me away... I leaned down to kiss her but at that moment Cho walked in... kiss her until someone stopped us.

"Harry! Uh- what's going on?"she asked suspiciously.

Oh god! She can't know!

"Oh- nothing Cho." I answered quickly, I grabbed her hand and went outside, but not without a last look at Ginny. She was staring at me. I couldn't tell what she was thinking except hurt. I knew Ginny pretty well by now, and I could easily tell how much pain she was in. How much pain I caused her.

Harry awoke with a start. He felt empty. He felt as if he couldn't stay in bed anymore. He crawled out of his bed and to his kitchen for a glass of water.He wasn't in the mood for ice cold water, so he drank tap instead. He sat at his table, and thought. Thought about Cho, about Ron and Hermione, how everything was so easy for them. He thought about Ginny. He wondered if he made a mistake, choosing Cho over Ginny. He stayed in the kitchen for about an hour and a half. When he glanced at the clock on his microwave he noticed it said 5:45. He knew he had to get to bed, he had to be up in 45 minutes in order to make it to practice on time, and he needed his rest.

As he crawled into bed something kept telling him "Just look at her. Look at Ginny and every question you ever had about her or Cho will be answered."

Harry's POV

Sooo tired. Must sleep. Must rest. Must close eyes. Must see Ginny. Oh man, I must really be losing it, I mean thinking about Ginny is one thing, but when I need sleep-deperately- ! I mean Ron's sister, I've known her forever! But then again, we were never always really uncomfortable around each other. I always thought it was because of that stupid crush she had on me. I mean it wasn't that we didn't like each other. We always liked each other. Maybe, the reason we were always weird around each other was because we always did like each other more than we were aware. Maybe I should just look at her. Maybe I will find myself totally in love with her and forget about Cho. Haa haa! This is ridiculous, but maybe I should try it just to make sure, and prove to myself I don't have feeling for her, in that way.

end Harry's POV

Harry got up from his bed, walked downstairs to his fire, took a handful of Flu Powder, threw it into the fire, knelt down beside the fire place, stuck his head in, and yelled, "Ginny Weasley's apartment!"

He felt his head spinning and when it finally stopped, he noticed her fire was in her bedroom, where she was sleeping. Harry's heart suddenly started beating real fast. He wanted to leave, but something kept him there. And he finally realized what it was. Her. Harry felt he needed to stay there because Ginny was there. He watched her. Watched her breathe in...breathe out...breathe in...breathe out... He felt the familiar urge to kiss her, and it scared him because he thought those one-time feelings for Ginny were one-time only. But not until now did he realize that they weren't. That they never would be. That he and Ginny Weasley were meant for eachother. How Harry was always in love with her, even before he realized it.

Harry pulled his head back from her fire, and came back huffing and puffing. He couldn't believe it. Not that he was in love with Ginny, no, what he couldn't believe was that he just realized it. He had just realized that Cho meant nothing to him, well maybe she did, but not as much as Ginny did. He looked at his clock. 6:30.

"Man, I gotta go!" he said.

And dashed out the door.
