Ginny POV
It was starting to get a tad chilly in the water so I waded over to the edge and lay on top of this huge tree which had fallen over. It was easily wide enough to be comfortable and it was pretty smooth.
I was lying there, just soaking up the warm sun, when I could hear someone walking towards me. I blinked my eyes open and noticed it was Harry coming towards me. For some weird reason, something in my chest did a kind of weird flippy thing. And I felt like my stomach had dropped out my butt at the same time. Strange…
I sat up to make some room for him on the log which he took. This was the second time in as many days that Harry was voluntarily sitting next to me. I mean I guess we have always been friends but we have never sat next to each other. Ever. So what was going on now?
"Do you think they noticed I left?" Harry asked me, referring to Ron and Hermione who were having a pretty serious splashing fight against each other, with Ron winning due to Hermione's uncontrolled giggling which was due to god knows what.
"I am pretty sure they don't have a clue" I said to him as Hermione jumped on Ron's back in an effort to dunk him under the water.
"So what's new in the life of Ginny?" he asked me as if he was really actually interested. As if he would be.
"Well I am totally confused about my boyfriend, my brother is in love with one of my best friends who happens to be his best friend, and I am the only girl who has been going out with her boyfriend for 2 months and yet hasn't been seriously kissed. Oh and I was in love with you half my life." Well that's what I wanted to say. But instead I just told him "Oh nothing unusual. How about you?"
"Other than what I told you last night nothing really. So hows it going with you and Dean? You seemed pretty tight at the end of last year."
The one thing I didn't wanna talk about with him. He probably only wants to know because he is Deans friend. Yeah I bet that's it.
"Yeah well…" I don't know what came over me but I suddenly had this urge to tell him everything. You can not tell him! He is your older brother's best friend! Are you crazy! Screw the voices in my head. There was something about Harry. I knew deep down that no matter what happened I could trust him. So I told him. Everything. Well except for the part about me used to have liking him. But I think he already knew that part of my story anyway. And it was the past anyway. It's not like I like him now or anything. I think.
"Wow. I never thought a girl as sweet as you could have boy troubles."
Did he just call me sweet?
"So what do you think I should do?" I asked. I honestly had no idea myself.
"Tell him the truth." Trust Harry Potter to give you the awful truth.
"Well we should go round those two love birds up. It's getting pretty late." He had that strange small smile playing across his face again. Why did I get a weird feeling in my chest whenever he smiled like that?
We wandered over towards them only to find the said 'love birds' lying very close together on top of the towels. They were working on the crossword in With Weekly. Weird. Harry and I just looked at each other with raised eyebrows and small grins. Even if they didn't know it yet, we did.
"Hey Ron give you a race back to the house?" Harry dared him.
"Bring it mate!"
And with that, the boys were gone.
"Do you think that was just a clever plan to leave us carrying all the stuff?" Hermione asked me. In fact it was just what I had been thinking.
"For sure."
As we were slowly making our way home, I asked Hermione, "So Hermione, tell me. What is going on between my brother and you?" I have a knack for being blunt.
"Oh uh nothing, Why?" she answered with a small blush.
"'Mione that tone has denial written all over it!" I was going to keep trying for info until she broke. Which looked like it was going to be in the near future by the look on her face.
"Are the boys still around?" she asked while looking to see if they were hiding behind a nearby tree.
"No. they are long gone." Yes she was so going to crack!
"ok I will tell you BUT you have to promise you will tell NO ONE of what I am about to tell you!" she said with a somewhat threatening look on her face.
"OK I promise."
She paused. "No I can't tell you. I don't even know what's going on at the moment. I'm confused Ginny."
"Ohmigosh! Hermione confused about something!"
"Shut up" she said with a slight smile, trying to avoid my gaze.
"Well even if you won't directly say it…"
She continued to look at the ground where she was walking when I stopped her.
"Hermione I know I may not be as smart as you, but I am not an idiot."
"Hmmm maybe." Hermione said to me with a devilish look in her eye, "Well ok, if you so 'non-idiotic' tell me what's with you and Harry lately. I saw you looking at each other. And I am just dying to know!" she added with a wink.
I was bewildered. I mean Harry and I are just friends. I mean yes I did like him before. But to him I would always just be Ron's little sister. I would never be anything more. I told this to Hermione and she just stared at me like I was a 3 headed monster. She eventually regained herself enough to say to me "Ok you may not be and idiot, but you defiantly are blind."
Well this is new to me. What on earth does she even mean?
It was then that we reached the Burrow so our chances for a private conversation were pretty much over.
We walked into the kitchen to find the boys sitting at the table obviously waiting for us.
"What took you so long?" asked Ron accusingly.
"Well Ronald, we were…" it was here I got interrupted by Harry. Maybe Hermione has a point.
He looked at Ron with raised eyebrows and after a few seconds a light seemed to switch on in Ron's head and he finally looked like he knew what was going on. My brother can be so dense sometimes.
After everyone got home from their various outings, we had dinner and then soon everyone was heading off to bed. I wasn't very tired so I decided to stay in the lounge and read a book. I was having a very nice time by myself in the peace and quiet which is unusual in my house.
And then along came Harry…
Harry POV
I was lying on the spare bed in Ron's room when he started talking to me. I thought he was already asleep and was just sleep talking (which he is known to do from time to time) so I was shocked when he actually formed a coherent sentence.
"Do you think she knows I like her?"
"What are you talking about?" Ron of course had no idea that Ginny and I had already figured them out so I tried to be as vague as possible.
"Harry I think I am in love with our best friend."
"Um… ok. This is unexpected." I tried to play the confused/ shocked card. Unexpected my butt.
"Well what should I do?"
"Considering this is kinda big news," or so he thinks, "I think you should just sleep on it."
"Yeah that's a good idea. Night Harry."
After making sure Ron was asleep (his snores were a dead give away) I snuck downstairs. I was sure Ginny would still be up, which she was. This news I knew would be of extreme interest to her. That reminds me, I must ask her what Hermione and her had been discussing when they walked in this afternoon.
Judging by the deathly glares Hermione was shooting Ginny, she had obviously struck a nerve or just wanted Ginny to be quiet about something she didn't want us to know. Well anyway I crept downstairs trying not to wake anyone. When I reached the lounge where Ginny was, she was curled up on one of the couches with her back to me. She obviously hadn't noticed me so I took the opportunity to scare her. I can't help it. I find it fun scaring people.
She jumped about a metre in the air. It was defiantly a sight.
"Gosh Harry. You are almost as the twins sometimes."
"Well I learnt from the best so what can you do?"
"Gee I don't know…" She said to me with a smile on her face. Her face is so pretty when she smiles.
"Well anyway, the reason I came down," I started, busting to tell her Ron's confession, "Is that our darling Ronald has confessed!"
"Get out! I so thought Hermione would first." Ginny said. A second later a huge grin spread across her face.
"What?" I asked. She obviously had something interesting to say.
"Well… today on the way back from the lake, darling Hermione didn't exactly confess, BUT she did not deny it when I told her my opinion."
"Really? Ron's asked me what I thought he should do about it."
"So what did you say?"
"I told him to sleep on it."
"Good idea." Ginny looked thoughtful. "So what do you think we should do?"
"What do you mean?" I asked her.
"Well should we tell them that the other one like them or should we just sit back and see what happens?"
"Sit back. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be."
"True. They need to figure it out on their own."
