Chapter Ten: I'll try not to lie or steal
I was alone. Colin wouldn't talk to me but I understood why. I continuously broke his heart and it seemed to him that I didn't care. But I did care, more then he knew. It's not my fault that I didn't know he had feelings for me. Sure I kicked myself every time I remembered some situation where he came to my rescue and cursed myself thinking why didn't I realize? I was just blinded by my love for Harry, blinded for something that wasn't there.
Speaking of Harry, he barely talked to me as well. I tried talking to him a few times but he stopped me saying that Cho had spies in the school and he couldn't risk losing her. Couldn't risk it? Ha! Then how come he continuously told me how annoying she was? How come he stayed with her when he knew I was willing and waiting?
As end of the year finals came closer and closer I spent more and more time in the library alone. It helped keep my mind off my problems. One night I was in there close to midnight when Madame Pince kicked me out. So I walked back to the common room carrying a few books. I was half was there when I heard something. I stopped and looked around. Then I heard it again, "Psst..." I turned around and saw Harry standing in the shadows of a statue.
"Harry? What are you-" he scared me as he quickly reached out of the darkness and pulled me in. "Ha-" but he placed his hand over my mouth and stared into my eyes.
"I have a surprise for you," he whispered. He stuck his head out to make sure no one was coming. Across the hall there was a large tapestry of a wizard by the name of Barnabas the Barmy who was training trolls for a ballet. I looked at it mesmerized while I waited. Suddenly he pulled me out from behind the statue and stopped in from of a door along the wall that I've never noticed before. Quickly he pulled me in and closed the door. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the darkness but then I saw everything. There were candles everywhere and, in the center of the room, a nice fluffy bed. I was so tired that I just wanted to lie down and sleep. But instead I turned my head and looked at Harry.
"Harry, what is this?" I asked.
He softly kissed me on the lips. "You're beautiful, you know that right?"
I turned more towards him and let him kiss me. He took the books out of my arms and they landed on the floor. Then he pulled me close and wouldn't let the kiss break. As I stayed locked in the kiss I felt him unbuttoning my blouse and slipping it off me. I finally pushed away and looked at him.
"Harry, what are you doing?" I asked confused.
He pulled me close again and kept me in his arms. "You know Gin," he said, "I've been waiting a long time for this."
"For what exactly?"
"For the moment when you and I are together and complete," he started kissing down my neck and my eyes grew wide. Did he mean what I thought he meant?
"Harry no," I said pushing him away. "I don't want to."
He stared at me, astonished and confused. "But Ginny, I thought you loved me."
Now I felt like the bad guy. I felt as though I hurt him by not giving in to his wishes. I stepped closer to him and held his hands.
"I do love you Harry, it's just I'm not ready for the aftermath. I'm not ready for the responsibility that may come along afterwards." I kissed him softly on the cheek. I stayed close to him resting my head on his shoulder.
"Ginny," he whispered in my ear. He pulled back and looked in my eyes. A smirk spread wide across his face. "I always get what I want."
Shock overtook my body as his hands tightened around my wrists.
"No," I whispered and his smirk turned into an evil grin.
"Oh yes," he said and started pulling me across the room towards the bed. I tried to resist but he was stronger than me from all the Quidditch training. "I've waited a long time for this Ginny." He laughed at my struggles to break free, "You're such a little tease."
We finally reached the bed and he threw me on it. He then climbed up straddled me so I couldn't get up and took off his shirt. Harry lay on top of me and started kissing me but his kisses were nothing more than lustful wants. As he kissed me I knew his hands were undoing his pants. After he succeeded in doing that he slid off me so he could remove my panties and do, what I saw as, his worst. What he didn't notice though was that he left himself wide open. One minute he was hungrily pulling my clothes off and the next he was rolling around on the floor in immense pain, holding where his erection once was. I jumped off the bed and ran to get my clothes. Hastily putting them on, I grabbed my book off the floor, ran to the door and rushed out into the empty hall. My mind was racing as I ran down hall after hall, buttoning my blouse, which was a hard job with books in my hands, all the while and constantly looking behind me to make sure Harry wasn't following. I was almost done buttoning my blouse when, not paying attention to where I was going, I banged head on into something. I bounced back falling to the floor, my books going everywhere, and looked up to see Colin in front of me picking up books that I noticed were his and mine.
"I'm sorry," he was saying, "I wasn't paying attention to where I was-"
"Colin?" I said in a low whisper cutting him off. He looked up and realizing it was me his apologetic look turned into a scowl.
"Oh, it's you. I'll just get out of your way," he stood up and started to walk away when I stopped him.
"No Colin! Don't leave me!" I began to sob uncontrollably. "Please don't leave me alone."
I placed my hands over my eyes and bawled. The next thing I knew Colin was next to me, his arms around my shoulders in a comforting way.
"Ginny what's wrong? What happened?"
It took me a minute to calm down and find my voice. "You were right," I finally said refusing to look at him.
"What was I right about?" he moved my head so I was looking him in the eyes.
"Me, Harry, everything!" Words started to stammer out of my mouth but they were incoherent to Colin's ears through my sobs as I began to cry again. But he didn't seem to care that he couldn't understand me. He knew that something bad happened so all he did was hold me until my eyes were dried out. Then he walked with me back to the common room, carrying both mine and his books, and kept me company all night. He listened to what I had to say and told me what he thought. By the end of the night I was happy to say I was his. I couldn't believe how I missed what Colin felt for all those years but now that I knew I realized I felt the same.
A/N: Sorry it took so long for me to get this up. I had to actually make myself sit down and write. The room used was the room of requirement if you didn't notice. I just added the statue there because I thought there was one. Upon checking it up in the book I saw it was the tapestry and that's why I had Ginny describe it. I don't know when the next chapter will be up. I know what's going to happen I just have to think of the words to put them in. Please read and review!
-Cheers!
