Hermione wiped her eyes and setting down the book, Harry's book. She could not believe this. There was so much she didn't know. So much he hadn't told her. The prophecy, his parents death, when the prophecy was being fulfilled. Then it hit her.

"Ron! Ron! Quick, what day is it today?" Hermione yelled.

"It's October 26th. Why?" Then all of the sudden his face went pale as he too realized the date. "Oh no, Harry!" He yelled as he ran up the stairs to the boys dormitories. He pushed through the door and ran to Harry's bed. He threw open the hanging to find six letters on his bed.

"No!!" He screamed not even noticing Hermione run up behind him. She saw Ron leaning over the bed clutching the letters sobbing uncontrollably, and kneeled down beside him and hugged him letting silent tears run down her cheeks.

Meanwhile downstairs Ginny and the others heard Ron's wails coming from up the stairs. Ginny's mind went blank, all she could say was, "Go find Professor McGonagall." She went over and sat in one the cushy chairs by the fire, unable to comprehend what just happened. She only looked up when she heard Ron and Hermione come down the spiral staircase.

They both were pale and their eyes were red rimmed and puffy. But what Ginny noticed first was the six letters in Ron's hand. They walked around handing two of the letters to Ginny and Neville, they kept one for each of them and Ron stuffed the other two into his back pocket.

Ginny studied the letter that was in her hands she noticed the messy scrawl as Harry's right away and tears came to her eyes as she opened the envelope and pulled out the letter it read, Dear Ginny, I am so sorry if I never got to say this to your face. You may not know it but I am a coward. I should of told you this write away. Ginerva Weasley I Harry Potter am hopelessly in love with you. I don't know when I realized this, but I do know that I am never going to love someone as much I love you. And I also know you think everyone thinks of you as just another Weasley or Ron's sister, but don't listen to them. Be your own person. Who cares! Life is to short to listen to others. I know who you are, you know who you are, show the world who you are, and I never want you to loose faith in that. I should go other letters to write, and I have to plant that book of mine somewhere where you guys will find it! If I don't come back don't be sad everything will work out either way. Good Bye! Good Luck! And Good Health! Best Wishes to all! Forever yours,
Harry
