Chapter 3: Harry and Ginny – Good friends

The whole of Monday goes on with Harry and Ginny enjoying themselves. They played cards for hours together on the astronomy tower. They talked about all sorts of things. They sat alongside in silence and watched the sun setting. At around 8:30, they both felt their stomach growling at them, after which they decided to go down and have their dinner.

They entered the hall to see no one there (as they expected). They took a seat and ate in silence. After they both finished, Ginny turned towards Harry and said "Thanks Harry!... I had a wonderful time!" and she smiled at him. Harry smiled back at her and said "I should be telling that to you" and they both grinned. Then Harry said "actually…..we both shouldn't be saying that to each other" he said with a thoughtful look on his face. Ginny developed the same look and asked him "why so? "

"We are friends right….why would friends say thanks to each other for a wonderful evening?" he asked her with his eyebrows going up and down and a cute smile playing on his lips. Ginny smiled broadly as she heard this from Harry and then said "Right you are Harry….I take back my thanks" she said as though he took something that was very personnel to her. He laughed and said" yaya….take it back but I won't mine back too" he said and both burst out laughing. They got up and started walking towards the common room, happily laughing and joking.

They entered the common room and found no one there (as expected again). They groaned as they thought of going back to loneliness again. Ginny was the first to complain. "Awwwww! I have to go back to gloom land now" she said putting her head down. "What? Why? Do they annoy you in there?" Harry asked glumly as he thought of going back to what he called loan land now. "That would have been better, but I have to be alone" she said frowning.

Harry gaped at her…."you too, well! Where do the others sleep?" he asked frowning. "They all sleep in the 7th year dorm as all of those girls are off to their homes" she said looking up at Harry. He said"oh! Ok………goodnight then Ginny……if we stay in the common room for some more time the others will sleep out in the cold" he ended with a snigger. Ginny started laughing and said "right you are potter…..good night then…..cya tomorrow!" she said between laughs. They both bid each other good night and went into their respective dorms.

Harry :

10:00 pm

Harry entered the dorm and closed the door with his leg with a dreamy look on his face (this look includes a small and cute smile). He changed into his pyjamas and got into bed.

10:10

He lay on the bed and tried to sleep but the days actions didn't allow him to. He was thankful to have a friend like Ginny.

10:12

Thanks Ginny! He told himself. He thought of what all they did that day. He thought……. I never knew Ginny was such a wonderful girl…………she's so lively and friendly. I wish I had come to know this Ginny before. This is my 6th year in Hogwarts and now I have just started becoming her friend. Dumb me!...he hit his head in the process with his hand.

10:20

Still thinking about the day and mostly about Ginny………what can we do tomorrow?...turns in another direction to think.

10:40

Harry, who hadn't improved from 10:20 was still thinking………Mmmm………….today is 1 day which has helped me forget the past few days…….

10:50

No improvement………..She's so funny!...I like her jokes a lot…they make you laugh real hard don't they?...he turned around to think of the jokes she had made today.

11:15

Don't worry people…..nothing has changed from 10:50…………….what can we do tomorrow other than play cards and joke about everything..?...

11:30

Nothing still………I think I'll go to bed now…….I'll think of what I can do tomorrow with her. (Very soon realization……..that will get a standing ovation)

He turns around and goes to sleep with that dreamy look which stuck to his face at 10:00 pm…

Things aren't different with Ginny

Ginny

10:00pm

Ginny closed the dorm door with her legs, her face a little red and a sweet smile on her lips. She changed her clothes and went and made herself comfortable on her bed.

10:10

She lay on the bed and tried to sleep but the days actions didn't allow him to. She was thankful to have a friend like Harry.

10:12

Thanks Harry! She told herself. She thought of what all they did that day. She said to herself……… I knew Harry was this kinda guy. No wonder Ron and Hermione love him so much.

10:20

Oh! ….and I am not surprised I had a crush on this guy. Mmmm……….am I saying the right thing……..Ginny….be truthful to yourself….is it had or have………….?

10:40

It continued………..have…..no had…………….have……… no had……. no

10:50

Finally………I guess have……no had…..no have…….no……its has…….no……its have…..yes………decided…its have…….. thinking this, she buried her face into her pillow because her face was now apple red.

11:15

He is sooo cute………….so cheerful……..so lively………so helpful…….so funny……….so nice………..

But he said we were friends………..Ohoh!...now what?...she turned around so she could think more comfortably.

11:30

Still going on……………..Now what do I do?...he said we were friends….oooohh!...she consoled herself saying…..don't worry gin…..we'll see what to do………..now go to bed………….you need to look fresh tomorrow when you get up…..you know why don't you?...she winked at herself, grinned, turned around and slept with a smile that never left her face.

FINALLY………..both were asleep……Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……………..
