Chapter 12 - Feelings and Cravings

Harry stopped at the garden door and looked round at Ron who gave Harry the thumbs up and smiled at him.

Harry turned the handle to the door and walked out into the garden.

He looked around and saw Ginny sat on the swing deep in thought, he decided to sit down on the steps and look at her for just a moment.

I can't believe that he was thinking about Little Miss Brainy. I thought he was supposed to fancy me and not her, I mean come on she's getting married to my older brother and happens to be pregnant with his baby for god's sake.

But I really like him though. Oh god what am I supposed to do? Ginny thought while sitting on the swing.

She carried on thinking while swinging on the swing.

Harry was looking at Ginny deep in thought.

My god. She's so pretty. I have to tell her and soon. My old feelings are coming back and she won't even talk to me now but I HAVE to tell her.

"It's now or never Harry" he told himself.

Harry got up and walked over to the swing.

"Um Ginny, can I talk to you for a moment?"

"No. Aren't you forgetting that I'm not talking to you Harry" Ginny snapped.

Harry looked at her with a look of longing and Ginny looked up into his eyes.

Harry looked at her but instead of seeing a smile that that would melt his heart, he saw a look of coldness that made his whole body go cold.

Ginny got off the swing and walked towards the door.

"Ginny, please listen to me" Harry called after her.

Ginny turned and looked at him then shook her head before going inside.

Harry stayed outside for a moment and thought about the look that Ginny had given him.

Did she mean it? Did she mean to look at me like that? Why though? Why did she look at me like that? Why do I have to fuck everything up?

After thinking about the many possible answers to these questions, Harry got up and walked back inside.

When he had shut the garden door Harry looked around and saw Ron and Hermione looking at him.

Harry walked over to an empty chair and slumped down in it.

"Why do I fuck everything up with girls?"

"What do you mean?" Ron asked looking at him.

"First Cho - she couldn't stop crying, then there was Luna - she deserved to be carted off to a loony bin and then there was Hermione - look at what I did to her, I got her up the duff then legged it. See I muck everything up and Ginny won't even look at me let alone talk to me."

Hermione got off her chair and walked (or tried to walk and ended up waddling) over to Harry and hugged him.

"Look you didn't muck it up with Cho coz she was way too much in love with Cedric so it was never going to work, Luna, well she needs to be in a loony bin for her own good and me, well you weren't to know - I didn't know till 8 weeks later" Hermione said reassuringly.

"Still why aren't me and Ginny together then? We are supposed to be together, we were supposed to be together in school. But she had to go and snog Dean didn't she, on the bloody night that I was going to ask her out. I had everything planned - a dinner in the astronomy tower then I had everything that I was going to say planned and I had little fairy lights and everything."

"Oh Harry, that's so lovely" Hermione replied with a tear rolling down her cheek.

"Harry. I have to tell you something. That night I told you that she was snogging Dean by the lake?" Ron said.

"Yeah. That was the night I was going to ask her."

"Well. She wasn't snogging Dean. She was by the lake but she was on her own. We had had an argument and she was upset coz of you. You didn't want any of us going with you and she wanted to with all her heart. She was so upset that she was going to have sex with the first person she saw so I sent her to sit by the lake. I'm sorry Harry but I wanted to protect her. I didn't want her becoming pregnant and I knew you were going to ask her and I know what could or would have happened. I'm sorry" Ron explained.

"I understand. I wasn't in the right state of mind to ask her. Look at what I did. I basically ruined Hermione's life."

"Harry you didn't ruin my life. Look at what I've got now. That was the friendship test and I have Ellie. My life isn't ruined. Trust me."

"Where did Ginny go anyway?" Harry asked.

"Upstairs. Harry?" Where are you going?" Ron asked curiously as Harry walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs.

"Fine. Don't answer me then."

"Ron, don't say that. It's not easy for him at the moment. Can you pass me a banana and the tomato sauce please?" Hermione replied.

Ron passed her the tomato sauce and banana where he watched her squirt the sauce onto the banana and eat it.

"That's gross."

"It's called a craving Ronald."

"Fine, cravings are gross."
