-Buried Alive By Love-
Chapter Nine: Ginny's Confusions.
"I don't know! Still I think that you should stay at Hogwarts and then after you graduate, you take the shop." Hermione said.
"No it's useless to graduate when I will only work at the shop."
"But school is important!"
"I know but it's not what I want! I'd rather have helped my brothers than graduate and have a job which won't be the one I wanted."
"But maybe you'll get fed up with the shop and then as you won't have graduated you can't get another job." Hermione said trying to make Ginny reason a little.
"But what about my brothers? What will I tell them?" Ginny asked.
"Just tell them that school is important too. Tell them that during the holidays you will still stay at the shop."
"Oh, alright. I'm sure that they will understand!"
"Of course they will! Come on now, your mum is calling us!" Hermione said, and they got up and made their way downstairs. Seated at the table were Fred, George, Harry and Arthur. Hermione sat near Harry and Ginny sat near her. Ron wasn't there.
"Where's Ron, mum?" Ginny asked.
"Oh he's coming dear." Molly answered as she started serving food. Ginny went to help her and at that moment Ron entered the kitchen and the only empty seat was near Hermione were Ginny had just left. Ron went to sit there.
"Your sister is sitting here." Hermione said coldly.
"No it's ok Ron, sit there." Ginny said. Ron sat and Hermione was getting nervous. She imagined that Ron would start apologizing again, but instead he just ignored her.
Ginny sat near Ron and they started eating, until they heard an explosion from the Twins' Room.
"Is it one of your stupid inventions again?" Molly said looking angrily at her sons.
"Honestly mum, we don't have any idea what has happened up there!" Fred said giggling.
George winked at Ginny and together with his brother and parents went upstairs. She had planned everything by herself. Harry needed to go to the bathroom and so left, and Ginny left too to leave Ron and Hermione on their own. Hermione sat impatiently waiting for the others to arrive.
Ron kept eating and she was getting more and more angry now that Ron was totally ignoring her.
"Are Melissa and the others coming?" Hermione asked.
"Dunno." Ron answered and continued eating.
"Would you mind not ignoring me?"
"Huh?" was his answer and he kept eating.
"I hate being ignored!" Hermione puffed.
"So what?"
"Just stop it! Why don't we just start talking again?"
"Oh so now you want to talk? After I tried to do anything I could to make you forgive me and then you slapped me and said you don't like me, you want me to talk to you? Fuck off Hermione." Ron said as he stood up.
"But I was angry!"
"Yeah and now I am angry! You see what Krum got us in?"
"Don't bring Viktor in this conversation!" Hermione said and she stood up too. "I only want to talk to you again. Believe me, I am really missing you!"
Ron looked at her and saw tears in her eyes. At once he forgot his anger and wrapped his arms around her. She hugged him too and told him, "I'm so sorry. Please let's never fight again."
"I'm sorry too Mione," Ron said and Hermione smiled. Suddenly the others all came in again. Ron and Hermione let go and sat down again. The others sat down and they continued eating.
"So you're talking again huh?" Fred said smiling.
"Yeah, and the explosion was your plan right?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, welcome back home Hermione!" George said, and Hermione grinned. They all finished eating and afterwards Fred, Hermione and Ron went to her home so she could get her things back.
Arthur had some problem at work and so left, and Molly apparated to Katie's house to see how she was doing. George, Harry and Ginny went outside in the garden.
"George, there's a problem… about me getting the shop and all…" Ginny said.
"Yeah I know, school."
"Yeah, um I really want to come at the shop but I think school is important too."
"Yes, Fred and I understand. We already talked about this."
"Really?" Ginny asked smiling.
"Yeah," George answered and Ginny sat on him.
"What's this thing?" Harry asked.
"Oh sorry, I haven't told you!" Ginny exclaimed and went to sit near Harry and started telling him what happened. George left to go at Lee's house, as Melissa and the girls would be there and he wanted to see Alicia. The problem was, that, he had forgot to tell his brother that Ginny was not going to the shop anymore, and so Fred didn't know, and had just left from Lee's to tell Molly about Ginny again.

"Oh, so that's the story!" Harry said.
"Yeah!"
"Thank god you're coming back! I would have missed you." Harry said blushing.
"Me too, and Dean and I wouldn't meet if I won't come back to Hogwarts!" Ginny answered.
"Do you think that Dean is your type?" Harry asked.
"Yes. Harry please don't start again. I am not a kid. I can take care of myself. Come on let's not start again. Please." Ginny answered as she got Harry's hands in hers.
"No problem sis, I won't!"
"Thanks Harry." Ginny said as she flung herself on him and he wrapped his arms around her. Ron and Hermione had just arrived all by themselves and Hermione saw them hugging each other.
From the look on Harry's face she could tell that Harry loved Ginny and Ginny was still deeply in love with him. But she decided not to say anything to Ginny as this might confuse her and she was trying to forget him. Ginny had made her decision and that was to start a relationship with Dean if he also wanted and so she knew that Harry must get out of her life.
As Harry and Ginny let go, he kissed her cheek and grabbed her hands and they went inside. There they met Hermione and Ron. Ron was taking Hermione's things upstairs and so Harry went to help him. Ginny went near Hermione.
"Tomorrow's the day Gin!"
"Yeah, I'm so excited." Ginny said as she sat down not looking excited at all.
"Believe me, everything will be great. Dean is a cool guy and he's cute. You'll have fun and you'll definitely realise that he's good for you. I know that back in your fourth year, your relationship was a failure, but believe me, this time it won't be." Hermione said and put her arm around Ginny.
"I hope so!" Ginny said, "Well come on, let's go to sleep."
"Yes." Hermione answered, and they stood up and went upstairs. Ron and Harry had just put all Hermione's bags in Ginny's room.
"Well goodnight girls," Ron said.
"Yeah goodnight," Harry said and looked at Ginny. She saw him looking and looked away and muttered goodnight whilst Hermione thanked Ron for having accepted her again.
Ginny changed, and got in bed after having said goodnight to Hermione. She started thinking, am I doing the right thing? Do I still like Harry? No! I must go tomorrow and meet Dean. We'll have fun and I'll soon realise that he's the one.
Harry was also in bed thinking about Ginny. If I don't stop her from going tomorrow I'll loose her forever. But she seems sure of Dean and wants to meet him. I must respect her decision.
Hermione was worried in bed, thinking about whether she should have told Ginny that Harry might love her or not. She was doing this for the best. If she had told Ginny that Harry might love her she would have started falling for Harry again and so she will be confused.
Ron was thinking about what Hermione had told him that day. Did she really mean it that she didn't like me or not? Was it only anger? He kept tossing and turning until he fell asleep.
-----
Next morning Ginny woke up very early, and went to take a shower. She was still confused. She knew deep down inside her that she liked Harry and was sure that it was no silly crush. But then she realised that there was no chance being with Harry whilst with Dean she had a lot. As the water fell on her, she tried to relax.
She dried herself and picked up her hair. She put on a pair of jeans and one of Fred's t-shirts and got out. She went for a walk in the hills near the Burrow. She sat down and buried her face in her hands and started thinking everything again.
With Dean, she had a lot of possibilities. If nothing worked she could go back to her normal life, and if their relationship worked, she could at last be happy with someone. She started walking back home.
As she entered she saw Harry at the table having coffee. She took some too and sat near him. Both were quiet, gently sipping their coffee. Harry looked at her and saw that she seemed worried, and so stood up and went outside.
Ginny had her coffee, and washed her mug. She went back upstairs in her room, and could see Hermione sleeping, and outside she saw Harry who had put his coffee down and was soaring high with his Firebolt.
Ginny went back on her bed and looked at photos of Harry smiling and looking happy unlike today. And then for the first time she noticed a photo were Harry was looking at her when she was talking with Dean who might have already liked her back then.
She saw Hermione stir and so put the photos away and Hermione woke up. Ginny smiled at Hermione who smiled back.
"Good morning Gin, great day today!"
"Yeah, I'm so happy!" Ginny answered trying to sound enthusiastic.
"Did you already go downstairs?"
"Yes, I had breakfast already. Mum has just woke up now, come on let's go so you'll have breakfast."
"Yeah let's go." Hermione answered and changed her clothes. The girls went downstairs, and saw Harry who had come back inside. He smiled at them trying to look normal and Ginny smiled back. Hermione went near Molly to have breakfast and Harry and Ginny sat down.
They didn't talk and Hermione sat down and told Harry, "What are you planning to do today?"
"Don't know. Maybe I'll just prepare everything for school."
"Oh ok." Hermione said and Ron entered the kitchen scratching his nose still yawning. He smiled at Hermione who smiled back, and felt happy for the first time in days. He sat down and had breakfast. Ginny went to talk to her mum.
"So like I told you mum, I have the morning free, let me de-gnome the garden."
"Well ok dear, but if you feel bored just stop and Ron will continue."
"Ok mum." Ginny said and went outside in their shed and got the gloves and started de-gnoming. Ron finished breakfast and so the 3 of them went upstairs. Hermione washed and was ready, and so were the other 2.
"Well I am going to help Ginny if it's not a problem for you." Ron said.
"Let's help you." Harry said and Hermione nodded.
"No there's no need to."
"Sure?" Hermione asked.
"Positive."
"Ok, well we'll stay in your room." Harry said.
"Ok."
And Hermione went with Harry in Ron's room. She helped him prepare his trunk, and was soon finished when he exclaimed, "God I forgot to buy parchment!"
"I'll lend you some," Hermione said.
"No I'll go and buy today."
"From where?"
"Diagon Alley perhaps?"
"No Harry don't! You're doing this on purpose to go and see Ginny! You must forget her. She likes Dean and you will only confuse her. Don't go!"
"I need to buy parchment, so there's no need for me to see Ginny."
"Just leave them alone ok?" Hermione answered looking sad. They continued preparing until they were ready and went downstairs. Ron and Ginny had just finished. It was already half past 1. Molly served them their lunch and they ate. Ron and Harry went upstairs to play some chess and exploding snap, whilst Ginny washed and prepared with Hermione's help.
Ginny came out wearing a denim mini-skirt, brand new converse, and a black t-shirt with a white border at the neck and a silver electric guitar on the front.
"Ginny you're too casual. You should wear something sexy!" Hermione said, "I mean the shirt and skirt are good but not for the first date."
"I don't care. I just wanna be comfortable."
"Alright then! Just let me do your hair and make-up."
"Sure."
After Hermione finished helping Ginny, with tips from her magazine, Ginny was ready. She was feeling a little better now and so picked her bag and went downstairs. Molly was as usual at Katie's so Ginny went in the kitchen and ate some pudding, which was supposed to be eaten in the evening.
Harry entered and there he saw Ginny. He looked at her and she looked at him. He got close to her and hugged her. She hugged him and he then kissed her neck, as her hand got on his chest.
"Are you sure of going there?" Harry asked.
Ginny let go of him and answered, "Yes. And now I got to go."
"Good Luck and take care."
"Yeah thanks!" Ginny said and went in their fireplace, got some powder and shouted, "DIAGON ALLEY!"
Harry saw her disappear. He knew that was the last time that he had seen her and still had the possibility that she was his. He went back in Ron's room. Ron wasn't there as he was with Hermione in the garden now. He felt sudden anger and so put on a jacket, grabbed his wallet and ran downstairs and floo powdered himself to Diagon Alley.
He closed his eyes and saw Ginny smiling at him, saying I love you. And then putting her hands in his. Suddenly he opened his eyes as he felt himself falling. He had just arrived at Diagon Alley.
