Back in the Ballroom

"Aah! Miss Weasley. Just the young lady I was looking for!" said a pompus looking man as Ginny sat down.

"Yes?"

"A Mr. Colin Creevey was enquiring as to where you were and I informed him that you were indisposed at that precise moment in time"

Ginny stared at the man, only just understanding his complicated language.

"He told me that he was dining at table to and asked that I pass on this message to you, he said it was urgent"

"Why thank you Mr……."

"Cuthbert, Daniel Cuthbert"

"Thanks Mr. Cuthbert" Ginny replied.

XxXxXxX

As she got up and walked over to find Colin, she wondered what possible problem could be urgent enough to tear her away from Harry, who looked concerned as he had listened to Ginny and Mr. Cuthbert's conversation.

Ginny saw Colin sitting at a table surrounded by all their old childhood friends and acquaintances.

"Ginny! There you are! I was looking all over for you!"

"Why, Mr Cuthbert said it was urgent?"

"Well, I hate to tell you Ginny, but a little while ago I saw Dean Thomas lurking around surrounded by some giggling girls"

"Ewww, the creep"

"Yeah, and then I heard him talking to some random guy about a plan to girl a girl back, and then he said your name"

"Oh man. Right, you leave this to me"

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely" she put on a childish accent "I'm a big girl now!"

"Good, coz that guy over there looks good enough to eat!"

Ginny laughed "As close a friend you are, I'd rather you kept the details of your homosexual inclinations to yourself"

"Fine, be that way" Colin pouted jokily, "It's not my fault I'm at ease with my sexuality" he chuckled as he walked over in the direction of a man who was clearly flirting with the curvy waitress serving him"

Back at the Table

"Good, Ginny. You're back. I was wondering if I was going to have to send out a search party" Harry whispered as Ginny sat down to her now cold plate of food.

"I can take care of myself, thank you very much" Ginny replied cattily

"Ok!" Harry chuckled

After roughly half and hour of being on edge, Ginny began to relax and actually enjoyed the food she was eating, even though it was cold.

Five minutes later, a tall blonde man walked up to their table and said

"Ginny! Fancy meeting you here!"

"Dean" Ginny grimaced

"Would you like to dance?"

"Oh all right" Ginny was determined to set the record straight with Dean

XxXxXxX

As they headed towards the dance floor, Ginny began to interrogate Dean.

"So how did you manage to get in? Did you beat up a National Quidditch star?

"You know I wouldn't do a thing like that babe! My entry was perfectly legit, I work for the Appleby Arrows, see?"

"Aaah! Now I understand. You were always good at Quidditch!" Ginny winked and ran her hand down Dean's back flirtatiously.

Dean smiled.

"I knew you'd get it"

"You are the assistant coach, and whenever any of the ladies have a problem they just come and see you and you'll fix it. Provided it's at night and in a bedroom"

"Oh very funny" Dean sneered and lowered his hand a lot further down than Ginny's waist.

"Not as funny as when we were in Hogwarts, and you had no problem getting to know me very well, extremely well actually. But, when I announced I was going to have your baby, you wanted nothing at all to do with me! You left me alone, sixteen and expecting a baby!" she slapped him and stormed off the dance floor.

Flashback

Ginny sat in the girl's bathroom, crying her eyes out. Everything had all gone wrong. She had recently lost the only man she ever truly loved, and in her depression she had gotten pregnant by the first guy to show any interest in her. She was so stupid! What was mum going to say?

XxXxXxX

As she was sitting back down at her table everyone was staring at her.

"What was that about?" said Harry asking the question on everyone's mind.

"What?" Ginny asked

"That" Harry answered and pointed to Dean who was staggering off the dance floor, followed by a crowd of chattering teenage girls.

"Oh, he'll get over it." Ginny added so only Harry could hear.

Harry began to choke lightly on the piece of roast lamb he was eating.

"Would you care to explain?" he asked between coughs.

"Would you like to dance?" Ginny replied.

XxXxXxX

I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"So, would you mind telling me what that was about?"

"Ok, but you have to promise me, you won't think any worse of me. I was young, stupid and I didn't know what I was doing."

"Sure" Harry replied.

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"Well, after you left Hogwarts to fight Voldemort I was really depressed and I didn't do any thing for about a fortnight."

"Ah ha"


I know that you are something special
To you I'd be always faithful
I want to be what you always needed
Then I hope you'll see the heart in me

"And suddenly, wherever I was, Dean always seemed to be there. First, he just made a few comforting comments, but then he began to pop up more often"


I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"Sometimes, we would sit in the common late at night and talk. If found this really relaxing, because very few people would come and talk to me because I was known as 'the girl Harry Potter left to fight Voldemort"

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"Ginny, you know I didn't mean my leaving in that way at all!"

"I know Harry, I know"


Your beautiful soul, yeah

You might need time to think it over
But I'm just fine moving forward
I'll ease your mind
If you give me the chance
I will never make you cry c'mon lets try

"And then, our relationship deepened, and we became more than just friends. I'm sure you don't want to know all the details"

Harry laughed nervously.


I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"We began to spend all our time together between classes, in Hogsmeade at weekends and in the evenings. We were inseparable. Mione and Ron were getting really worried about me, the said it wasn't good for me to spend all my times with one person. I told them, they were just jealous because I was getting over your leaving and that they were still in denial"

You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul

"Then I woke up and I couldn't remember I thing I'd done the night before, I could only remember getting really drunk. Then I was worried that I had done something I shouldn't have. So, the next day I took one of those pregnancy tests that Madam Pomfrey leaves in all the girl's dorms.

Harry just looked at Ginny while she cringed.

Am I crazy for wanting you
Baby do you think you could want me too
I don't wanna waste your time
Do you see things the way I do
I just wanna know that you feel it too
There is nothing left to hide

" It tested positive and thought I was doomed! I told Dean and he said he wanted nothing to do with me."

"Oh Ginny" Harry sighed. He kissed her deeply and said "I'll never ever do that to you"


I don't want another pretty face
I don't want just anyone to hold
I don't want my love to go to waste
I want you and your beautiful soul
You're the one I wanna chase
You're the one I wanna hold
I wont let another minute go to waste
