After Hermione had left her alone in her dorm that afternoon she had realised what an idiot she had been theses past few mouths. Hermione would never share the feelings that she had for her she belonged with some one like Harry. She had decided then that her only hope now was just to try and got over her. although this was just made all the harder by the fact that she had thought she was so close by allowing her self to get her hopes up by allowing her self to believe in the possibility that just made the crash back to reality all the more painful. The only way that she could see was to cut Hermione form her life completely well at least until she was able to get over these feelings or repress them far enough that it allowed her to keep going on.

Ginny was throwing her self into everything that she could believing distraction would save her from having to confront her feelings or Hermione. So far it was working for the next few days Ginny did everything to avoid Hermione and she tried everything to try and talk to her. Hermione would chase after her between classes bout Ginny would just disappear into the crowd. When she would approach her in the dinning hall or the common room she would just make an excuse and rush off leaving Hermione standing never able to utter more than a few words before her younger friend would avoid her once again. She would amerce her self in study to an extent that would have made Hermione proud and nearly putting her to shame. But it was quiditch that was her favourite distraction. The sensation of soaring above the tree tops and among the stands of gliding high above the grounds. There was a tranquillity and sense of peace there among the clouds that she could find no where elace.

Hermione had decided that she had had enough this is absolutely ridiculous she thought to herself even if she does still like Harry and yes I did betray her by doing what I did and by not telling her but to not even talk to me to ignore me well that's just childish. Although I better not use those exact words with her she hates being called a child she would probably hit me. Has Ginny just forgotten about how close we are or well at leas least we where we've shared so much. I hadn't realised how close we where until this happened until I saw how much I was missing her all the little things the stupid insignificant and the major ones that we talked about those shared looks they way we can tell what the other is thinking sum times and then there's that grin its not a smile but a mischievous grin. But now im being ridicules its only been a few days im thinking as though I hadn't seen her in years. Im just going to have to confront her and put an end to all this nonsense. Suddenly her train of though had been brought to a screeching halt by the voice of Ron who was giving her an angry stare. Apparently he had been talking to her for several minuets before he realised she hadn't been listening and didn't know she had been thinking about ginny for so long.

"I said that harry and me are going down to the pitch now to get sum last minuet practice in before the game this afternoon are you coming to watch"

she thought for a second

" er no that's ok you go on ahead oh wait have you seen ginny around"

"yeah"

said ron as he started to get up form the table to leave

"her and loony just went out side" .

and Hermione headed for the front door in search for them. It was only ten minuets later that she found them they were sitting underneath a large tree by the lake it was one of ginnys favourite places in the castle grounds Hermione and her had been there many times chatting reading laughing and crying together. It made Hermione feel odd to see her there laughing so loudly there with luna it almost felt like jealously.

Hermione approached slowly and when she was standing right behind her younger friend she spoke her name softly "ginny can I have a word" even before ginny turned around Hermione could tell her face had begun to turn the colour or her hair. Ginny was about to open her mouth to make yet another feeble excuse to allude her friend when she was saved by angalena Johnson " io ginny emergency team meeting now where a chases down and wee need a drastic tactic change" ginny spared merely a second to glance and give a half smile to both of her friends before she rushed off.

Hermione sighed and sat down next to luna without acknowledging her. She had barely touched the ground when Luna began to speak

"so what happened between you and ginny then"

she asked eagerly

"what do you mean"

she said in a quick defensive voice.

"well you'd have to be an idiot not to realise how ginnys been avoiding you I just cant get her to tell my why she can be so mysterious sum times"

Hermione remained silent while luna sat staring at her with an expectant hungry look on her face but Hermione remained silent.

"im guessing it got something to do with harry based on the dirty looks that she's been giving him. But I just cant understand why she'd be mad at him its not like she's interested in him any more she stopped liking him at the end of 3rd year."

Luna paused waiting for hermiones reaction as though she expected to hear the click in Hermione's brain as figured it out . Instead luna saw the confusion in Hermione's eyes why is ginny so mad about what happened if she dusnt like harry why is she avoiding me? Much to luna's relief Hermione finely spoke

"well if she doesn't like harry who does she like then?"

"well I'v been trying to get that out of her for months but she wouldn't even give me a clue. But she really doesn't hide it that well im surprised you've not realised yet."

"what .. what are you talking about" demanded Hermione

"I think you should talk to ginny but first you should figure out what your going to do and…… try not to break her heart"

luna then stood up and walked off whistling to her self as thought she hadn't just had one of the most important conversations of Hermione's life. Hermione sat there in a state of bemusement her mind spinning with questions memories images trying to put them together desperate to know weather the picture they created would be the same as they one luna had just painted.

Ginny likes me ! she couldn't believes this she had never planed for such a thing to happen and she didn't like surprises they unnerved her. she had to find ginny to fine out f this was true and she ran towards the quidich pitch stopping for nothing . she didn't stop running until she entered the changing room then everything stopped. Ginny was standing there her back to hermione in only her underwear Hermione stopped her mouth fell open. she had see ginny in her underwear countless times but now things where different luna's words were causing Hermione to react differently to ginny. The older girl continued to stare at the almost naked figure of her younger friend she was slightly shorted then Hermione she was impressed by what she saw obviously all those extra hours of quidich practice had paid off her body was slender firm and toned. Hermione was still staring when ginny turned round and faced her. ginny's face when bright red and she quickly reached for her for her quidich robes

"oh hi what are you doing hear"

Hermione finaly closed her mouth and panicked she had just remembered what luna had said to her but she had no idea what she was going to say to ginny she didn't know how she felt about her.

"I er um gin I know. I know you don't like harry and I know how you feel about me"

unconsciously she reached out and put and hand on ginys arm but nither of them knew the intent behind the gesture. Hermione began to move closer to ginny she didn't know what she was doing but she didn't seem to be the one controlling her own movements. Just as ginny began to notice Hermione's moment a voice called out from the other end of the changing room Hermione hadn't realised they had been anyone else there but ginny.

"hay Hermione come to wish us god luck"

Harry strode over to where they where standing completely ignorant to the moment had had just intruded on and so continued to talk. Ginny stood there paralysed as she watch Hermione embrace Harry as she wished him good luck and kissing his check before he walked off. Ginny was fuming she couldn't believes the way Hermione was flaunting her relationship with Harry right in front of her. she wondered if that had been why she came her to show Ginny what was really happening between her and Harry. Hurt and furious she grabbed her quidich gear and had left the changing room before Hermione had turned around.

It wasn't until she had reached her seat that she realised way Ginny had taken off she was hurt of course she was she must had thought here was something between Harry and I. oh but harrys just a friend despite what we have gotten up to in the showers in the past. He would never bee more than a friend. Her mind then trailed back to the moment she had shared with Ginny before Harry had arrived and then she had remembered Luna's words once again. Did she like Ginny she had no idea she had never consciously thought about this before she didn't like these types of mysteries where an answer couldn't be found in an old txt somewhere. Subconsciously her brain began organising her thought and memories involving Ginny. Processing each one over analysing every gesture movements semantics anything that might be of importance and mentally categorising them. Her mind lingered on the most resent events the way she felt seeing her and Luna under the tree together how much she missed her but she also thought of the fact that Ginny was a girl and rons little sister and did she really want to relationship right now with all that was happening in the world could she afford to have that emotional attachment. By the time the match had started she had been unable to reach any sort of conclusion ether way annoying her immensely.
