Summary – Ginny tells Harry what love is like after he asks her.
The Trouble With Love Is.
Twenty two year old Ginny Weasley gazed at her ex boyfriend Harry from afar.
They had gone out with each other when they were in school together aged fifteen and sixteen years old.
She had been gazing at him for around thirty minutes now all the while not being able to pluck up the courage to go and join him.
Love can be a many splendid thing,
Can't deny the joy it brings,
A dozen roses, diamond rings,
Dreams for sale and fairytales,
It'll make you hear a symphony,
And you just want the world to see,
But like a drug that makes you blind,
It'll fool ya everytime,
Finally after a further ten minutes, Ginny took a deep breath and walked over to where Harry was sat.
"Hey Harry. Do you mind if I join you?"
Harry looked up at Ginny and gestured to the grass.
She sat down next to Harry and together they sat in silence just looking at the still water of the pond.
It got so awkward that Harry started to pull clumps of grass out of the ground and roll it into a ball.
When Harry started this, Ginny found a patch of daisies and started to make a daisy chain.
All through this activity they both kept stealing sideward glances at each other.
The trouble with love is,
It can tear you up inside,
Make your heart believe a lie,
It's stronger than your pride,
The trouble with love is,
It doesn't care how fast you fall,
And you can't refuse the call,
See you've got no say at all,
After what seemed like forever, Harry dropped the clump of grass that he was holding and sighed.
"Ginny?" he asked.
Ginny looked up at him and said, "yes Harry?"
"Have you erm, ever been in love?" he asked whilst blushing.
Ginny looked back down at the half finished daisy chain in her hands and continued to make it while she answered.
"Yes I have but it was quite a while ago."
"What happened?"
"I loved him but he didn't love me so we finished it," she told him.
"Oh," Harry replied.
Now I was once a fool it's true,
I played the game by all the rules,
But now my world's a deeper blue,
I'm sadder but I'm wiser too,
I swore I'd never love again,
I swore my heart would never mend,
Said love wasn't worth the pain,
But then I hear it call my name,
"Was that it? You broke up?" Harry asked inquisitively.
"No. We broke up and I felt rather crappy. I wondered what was wrong with me because all of my relationships have failed. I had a broken heart that felt like it would never mend so I told myself not to fall for anyone again," Ginny explained still making the daisy chain.
Harry nodded and pulled another clump of grass out of the ground.
The trouble with love is,
It can tear you up inside,
Make your heart believe a lie,
It's stronger than your pride,
The trouble with love is,
It doesn't care how fast you fall,
And you can't refuse the call,
See you've got no say at all,
"Why is love so troublesome?"
"Because nothing is simple Harry. Why do you ask that?"
"Oh you don't want to hear my problems," Harry replied glumly.
"Harry you can tell me anything and you know that you can. Don't be so silly."
"Okay. I like this girl. Well I love her actually but I don't know if she likes me," Harry said feeling rather depressed.
"Well I don't know what to tell you. You could ask the girl to go out to dinner with you I suppose and then take it from there. What's she like?"
"She's wonderful. She's so gorgeous as well and as for her personality. Well it's amazing."
Ginny suddenly felt as though all of her hopes had been dashed by Harry's troubles with love.
Everytime I turn around,
I think I've got it all figured out,
My heart keeps on calling and I keep on falling,
Over and over again,
This sad story always ends the same,
Me standing in the pouring rain,
It seems no matter what I do,
It tears my heart in two,
"So you really like her then?" Ginny asked.
Harry nodded.
"Do I know her?"
He nodded again and looked at her.
"Oh," Ginny said disappointedly as she ran through all of the pretty girls that she knew in her head.
"You don't get it do you?" Harry asked.
"Get what?" Ginny asked.
"This."
Suddenly Harry kissed her and she dropped the daisy chain that she was holding as she melted into the kiss.
As Harry pulled away he smiled at her.
"Do you get it now?" he asked her.
"I do."
"It's been you Ginny all of this time. Ever since we broke up I've wanted you back."
The trouble with love is,
It can tear you up inside,
Make your heart believe a lie,
It's stronger than your pride,
It's in your heart,
It's in your soul,
You're losing your control,
See you've got no say at all,
"So what do you say?" Harry asked grinning.
Ginny grinned then said, "the trouble with love is that you keep falling over and over again even if it is with the same guy."
Harry grinned back at her then kissed her again before they huddled together to watch the sunset.
