Harry looked at the photo again. There Ginny was, clad in a beautiful back dress, arm in arm with him. Her red hair was tied up into a bun, and her lips were curved into a smile. She was smiling with a sweet smile, with a cute dimple. She was laughing at some cool joke…They could have gone on like that…if she hadn't cheated him like this.

Flashback

It was sixth year, and Harry had been absolutely crazy with Ginny. There were some rumors going around Dean and Ginny which usually made him ballistic. But the fact remained that Ginny kept smiling shyly at Harry, and this usually made his heart flutter, and she wasnt going out with Dean.He always chatted with Ginny lightly about everyday matters. Her eyes were always cast down, and she always looked very irritated whenever Dean called her.

She was looking very depressed these days, shadows were under her eyes, and was extremely tired.

"What happened Ginny?" Harry asked her concerned.

"Nothing much. Dean's irritating the life out of me!"

Harry supressed a smile.

"Oh…why?"

"Stupid issues…Harry do you like Hermione?"

"Not in that way, please!"

Then she looked a bit more cheerful and lighthearted.

"Oh ok…" and she went off.

Later on, Harry related this to Hermione.

Hermione with her usual attitude as if it was a solution to a theory said,

"See? She likes you! Ask her out! Go on!"

Harry thought about this. He was hoping she still did. He kept wondering how to talk to her and then he thought of an idea. He remembered that Ginny had potions at this time in the dungeons, so he ran there and saw her coming and purposely banged into her.

"OWCH! Sorry Ginny!"

"Its ok…" she said softly.

The moment had come. It was like she had been waiting…her eyes...full of soulful desire...he stretched out his hand to take her hand, and brought his face closer to hers.

"Ginny…you know…"

"Know?"
He brought his lips closer to hers.

"I love you."
She kissed him too. There, bathed in sunlight, was their supreme hour of happiness. Nothing could separate him from her now.

They went out for weeks. Slowly, slowly, Harry realized that something was missing in their relationship. Ginny seemed pretty preoccupied with something else. They rarely met each other now, except for a quick kiss, and a hi and a bye. One day, Harry saw that she was in complete disarray. She looked extremely disheveled.

"Ginny, what's the matter these days? We rarely talk now." Said Harry concerned.

"Oh stop all those sentiments. I am busy these days." She snapped.

Luna came by and said,

"Busy it seems. Busy with snogging Dean."

"Shut up Luna! Don't you ever say that!"

"Have it your way. I saw her earlier doing that. She used you."

Harry made furious moves towards Luna, but then he spotted Flitwick so he stopped himself.

He didn't believe Luna…but judging by Ginny's sharp and curt attitude towards him…no! he loved Ginny right? Then he saw Ginny talking with Dean, in a very jovial way, and he was sure she was blushing?

They were just friends right? Dean and Ginny?

Come on Harry, he thought sternly to himself. This was getting too much. But every time he saw Ginny, she was always with Dean, and lots of parchment in her hand.

He ran towards Ginny, but she said,

"Hold on Harry. I've got a major project to discuss for Herbology. I am sorry I snapped today. I'll be back." And then she and Dean went out quietly discussing something.

Harry felt very neatly brushed aside. Now this was going too far! Now he wouldn't even talk with Ginny.

He gave her a cold shoulder at lunch. Ginny said concerned,

"I said I was sorry for snapping at me. Why are you mad now?"

"Go and be with Dean, if you so wish."

"Oh come on, Harry! I just have a major project of Herbology to do. He was telling where I should get my information! Don't you trust me?"

"I do! But you just don't have time for me!"

She hugged him and kissed him lightly,

" I am sorry for acting so impersonal. I'll get this project finished off by next week, and I promise I will spend all my time with you! Ron will be left to entertain my cuz.'

Harry felt lighter and happier after that. He pulled her down on his lap and...

He was in such a good mood for the rest of the day. He did brilliantly in all his classes. Professor Sprout told him,

"Harry honey, go and get the mandrakes from the dungeon. Will you?"
He went to the dungeon and then stopped in shock.

He saw a redhead kissing Dean so fiercely, and hugging him tightly. It was too dark to see. They didn't even notice him! There they were…she had cornered Dean and was kissing him passionately…Ginny…had cheated him!

He left the place soundlessly. His heart was pounding with anger, bitterness and hatred.

He told Hermione all he had seen, and she said,

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Come on, Harry…Ginny's cousin is also a redhead…"

"Why would she do that? All I know I am through with Ginny!"

"Harry…you are not even sure…"

"I don't care! I am through with redheaded liar, cheat, double faced brute!"

"Harry please! Relax!"

"But I wont let her know that she has cheated me so badly. I am through with her, and I will go out with Luna to prove to her that I am not hurt by her cheating."

"Luna? What for?"

"To prove it to her that I don't care!'

"Who is going to go out with Luna?" said Ginny coming in.

" I will! I am through with you-you double faced, cheat!" spat Harry and slapped her as hard he could.

Tears started streaming out, tears which would have once rung Harry's heart, but now only gave him satisfaction.

"Why?"

"Go and snog your beloved Dean for all I care! I am with Luna now." He added untruthfully.

End of Flashback.

And now he was going to marry Luna. Luna might have given him support, happiness and everything, but she wasn't Ginny. Well good she wasn't a cheat like Ginny!
