Chapter 2

August 4th

The Attic, Order of the Pheonix H.Q.

Why is he so clueless? Does he even give a crap that he might be hurting someone's feelings? I know, I know, it's my fault because he doesn't know that I have feelings for him, but it still makes me mad! SHE wasn't there for him when Sirius died. SHE didn't tell him everything would be all right after the TriWizard tournament. SHE wasn't there!

Flashback

After hearing a noise downstairs at the front door, I got up and practically ran downstairs to the door. I wanted to run up and fling my arms around Harry's neck, but I knew I couldn't, as that would give away the fact that I like him.

"Hiya, Harry," I said restraining myself to just give him a small hug.

"Hey Ginny. Where's Ron and Hermione?"

"Hey Harry. Did someone say my name?" said Ron coming down the stairs with Hermione close behind. Hermione came up to Harry and gave him one of her famous bone crushing hugs.

" Hermione, my … lungs … need … air"

" Sorry, Harry." Hermione said letting go of Harry.

" Glad to see you to, Hermione"

Hermione grinned. Lupin, Tonks, and Moody started moving toward the kitchen and Hermione and I followed. Harry was about to follow, but Ron stopped him, for some reason.

In the kitchen, my mom, Mrs. Weasley, was fixing dinner, while Fred and George were talking quietly in a corner. Mr. Weasley, my dad, was deep in conversation withProfessor McGonagall.

"Hello Hermione, Ginny, Lupin, Tonks, Moody" My dad said glancing towards the kitchen. " Ron and Harry are coming soon, right? Molly almost has our supper ready."

" I think they'll be in as soon as supper is announced." Hermione said with a small smile.

Sure enough, as soon as mum announced that supper was ready,Harry and Ron were in the kitchen sitting at the table, ready to eat.

"Are you guys ever not hungry?" That's a stupid question, Ginny. Of course they're always hungry; they're guys. You should know this since you have so many freaking brothers. I thought as soon as I said that.

"No, Ginny. They're always hungry; they're guys and you of all people should know this."

Whoa, I thought. Hermione must be a mind reader or do we know each other that well?

"Coming through" said mum as she levitated large platters of food to the table.

Everyone quickly found seats. I took a seat across from Ron and Harry, but beside Hermione and Lupin, who was sitting next to Tonks. Lupin could not seem to take his eyes off of Tonks who was spooning mashed potatoes onto her plate.

Oooooo Lupin likes Tonks. Lupin likes Tonks. Not that I don't think they'd be great together but we're gonna have fun teasing them I bet, with the looks on Ron and Harry's faces.

"So Lupin, do you think you could stop staring at Tonks long enough to pass the gravy?"Harry asked with a twinkle in his eye. Lupin's face turned beet red, but he passed Harry the gravy. I looked over at Tonks and noticed that she was trying and failing to hide the fact that her face was red enough to give any of us Weasleys a run for our money.

Wow! How could I have not noticed that sooner? Does Lupin know that Tonks likes him, also? Does Tonks know? Or does Tonks know and she doesn't like him? But that doesn't really explain...

" Earth to Ginny," said Harry as Hermione waved her hand in front of my face.

"Yes?"

" I just asked you how your summer was."

"Oh. My summer was… uh… boring, believe it or not. How was yours?"

Hermione gave me a knowing look.

"What! I'm just being polite" I whispered at her.

"Sure" she whispered back with a knowing grin.

As we turned back to Harry and Ron, I noticed that Ron and Harry had been whispering to each other too, so Hermione's and my conversation went unnoticed.

"My summer started out pretty crummy but it got better when Kate moved in next door."

Harry finally answered. I wonder what they were talking about.

"Who's Kate?" asked Lupin.

"Kate is the girl who moved into the house next to my aunt's and uncle's house about a week after I got there." Harry answered blushing a bit.

"What does she look like?" asked Ron with a twinkle in his eye as if he knew something no one else did.

"Well… She's our age, Ron, and she just moved here from America, so she has a really hot accent."

"When can I meet…" I kicked Ron in the shin causing him to say something which made mum say, "Ronald!", and causing him to forget what he was going to ask.

"Kate has long black hair that goes past her waist. Her eyes are really interesting; they're blue, but they look violet if the light hits them just right."

Bloody 'ell! He likes her… a lot… just look at his eyes and shit, she sounds really pretty. No wonder he likes her.

"Is everyone finished eating? If they are, I would like to ask Ron, Harry, Ginny and Hermione to go upstairs, so we can start our meeting." Said Professor Dumbledore walking in the door from the living room having obviously just arrived.

Since everyone was finished eating, Harry, Ron, Hermione and I were forced to go upstairs. Ron and Harry grumbled loudly, but Hermione and I chose to remain quiet, knowing that grumbling wasn't going to make the adults let us stay down stairs and listen to the meeting. Nothing could change my mum's mind, nothing.

Whoa… wait a minute, Why is Hermione looking at Ron all the time? She isn't mad at him, yet as far as I know. Hermione hasn't told me anything about liking Ron, but maybe she does... I bet she does...Dang! I am stupid!

While thinking this I hit myself in the forehead, much to my disgust, Hermione noticed.

"What was that for?" she whispered in my ear.

"I'll talk to you about it later… Ooff!" I had been whispering but I ran into Harry, which caused me to yell and blush. " Why did you stop?"

" I just realized that Fred and George were allowed to stay in the kitchen. Does this mean that they are now both members of the order?" asked Harry starting back up the last few stairs.

"They aren't members yet, but this meeting is to decide if they are ready to join or not. Lupin seemed to think they were ready but Mrs. Weasley was saying before you arrived that they would have to be serious about their work with the Order." Hermione answered glancing at Ron again.

"Oh, ok. Goodnight then."

"Goodnight, Harry" Finally I talked to him without him talking to me first.

"Goodnight. See you girls at breakfast." Said Ron.

At this Hermione and I rolled our eyes. Guys, always thinking about their stomachs or their next meal.

With this Hermione and I walked down the hall way and into the room that we shared. A quick game of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" decided that I would get the water closet (A/N: sorry couldn't resist water closet is an english way of saying bathroom that i got from my dad) first.

After a little bit, I came out in my pajamas and flopped on my bed.

"Hermione, do you like Ron?" I asked. I better just get it over with.

"Well…" said Hermione from in the bathroom.

" Come on. You can tell me. I won't get mad like Ron would if he found out that someone liked me."

"Okay, okay, you caught me. Yes, I like him."

" How long?"

"Since third year."

" I can't believe I didn't see it till now."

" It's okay. Who do you like?" Hermione asked coming out of the bathroom and flopping on her bed facing me.

"I don't know." I know I shouldn't lie to her, because she's my friend and all but she's his friend. Maybe she could help me since she's his friend. So should I tell her or not…

"Come on Ginny. I told you who I like. It's only fair that you tell me. Please?" Hermione looked at me with her best try at a puppy face.

" You've almost got that look down. Still not as good as mine, though." I laughed as Hermione threw a pillow at me, which I dodged, and glared at me with a look that plainly said, Spill it, punk.

"Okay, Okay, Okay, hold your horses. Darn, I wish we were allowed to do magic."

" Come on Ginny. Spill already!"

" Okay. Gosh. IlikeHarry."

"What did you say? I didn't quite catch that."

" I said I like Harry."

"I knew it!"

How the hell did you know? Is it that obvious? Does Ron know? More importantly, does Harry know? How long has she known?

"Is it that obvious and how long have you known?" I asked still amazed that she knew.

"It's not that obvious to a guy, but to a girl who knows what another girl looks like when she likes someone, so it's obvious. I have had a feeling that you liked him since the first time I saw you andHarry in the same room, but I didn't know for sure until today at dinner."

"Wow! I need to learn how to hide my feelings better."

"Why?"

" Ron might kill Harry if he knew that I liked Harry and Harry liked me, but Harry doesn't like me so it doesn't matter anyway."

"I don't think Ron would kill Harry, because Harry is his best friend. Ron might threaten to hurt him though if he hurt you. How do you know that Harry doesn't like you?"

"Just the way he was talking about Kate earlier at dinner."

"I am not sure he likes her."

"I still can't help but think he does, but thanks Hermione."

"Do you think Ron likes me?" Hermione asked.

"I am not sure, but I think we can come up with a plan to find out if he likes you and if Harry likes me. If you want to that is."

"If you're thinking what I am thinking it might work for me, but I think it would be best if I figured out if Harry liked you before getting him to admit it."

"Okay. So here's the plan…

END FLASH BACK

I told Hermione the plan. Which might I say is pure genius. Hermione told me it might end in me getting my heart broke but that's not anything new. I think it's time for me to call it a night…

Meanwhile in Ron's and Harry's room

After saying goodnight to Ginny and Hermione, Ron and Harry walked into the room that they shared.Harry started to dig around in his trunk to find something while Ron dashed into the bathroom, before Harry could protest.

Ten minutes later,Harry had finished looking in his trunk and was getting impatient with Ron, who was still in the bathroom.

"Hurry up Ron! I'd like some hot water too!"

"Quit your whining! You'll get to take your shower soon enough." Ron called from inside the bathroom.

A half-hour later,Harry and Ron were sitting cross-legged on their beds facing each other.

"Did you really mean what you said earlier, before supper?" asked Harry.

"Of course I meant it! Why else would I tell you that I like Hermione?"

"I don't know, it's just that you two argue so much. So calm down, all right."

Harry and Ron sat quietly for a bit, each thinking about someone.

"Harry, who do you like?" Ron asked breaking the silence and Harry's thoughts.

"Huh? Oh… I used to think that I liked Kate, but now I don't know."Harry answered thoughtfully.

"Why don't you know?"

"Because I know that no matter how much I think I like Kate, it will never work out between us. She is the type of muggle who would freak if she found out too much about me."

"Okay, mate. I understand what you're saying. I still can't help but wonder if Hermione likes me or if she thinks of me as just a friend."

"We'll come up with a plan soon, mate, but right now I think it's time for us to turn in."

"Yea, I guess you're right."

"Goodnight, Ron."

" 'night"
