Chapter 3 – A Talk

Ginny lay on her bed, crying hard. Not because of the kiss, but because of what Harry had told her. The kiss had actually been an excuse to leave the room. She knew that he was suffering and needed help, and she had to do something to stop him. As she sobbed, she heard a knock on the door, and her heart stopped beating. What if it was Harry?

"Ginny? Are you here?" she heard Hermione call.

"Thank God!" Ginny whispered and felt relieved that it wasn't Harry. Hermione heard her and opened the door.

"Ginny! What happened?" Hermione asked worried, as she ran next to Ginny who had a red face with purple bruises, and red eyes.

"Oh, that? Nothing!" Ginny said reassuringly as she smiled.

"Something did happen!"

"Um, I assure you it's nothing!"

"Come on, you can't fool me!"

"Ok, ok! You see, I went to talk to Harry-"

"He talked to you?" Hermione asked bewildered.

"Yeah, and um, you see he's depressed. He's pressured. He thinks that Sirius' death is his fault, and he can't think clearly. There are too many things on his head. I tried to talk to him, but suddenly he beat me, and-"

"What? He beat you?" Hermione asked angrily.

"Yeah, but please leave him alone. He's not sane at his moment. He's confused, and needs to stay alone and think!"

"Oh yeah? And what gives him the right to beat you up?"

"Just shut up! I shouldn't have told you anything, and don't you dare tell my brother ok? Don't even think about it!" Ginny yelled angrily, as she stood up and faced Hermione.

"I can't keep any secrets from your brother!"

"Oh," Ginny muttered and laughed sarcastically, "Now I got it, you and my brother are dating! At this time, when Harry needs you most! You two are fuckin dating when your bestfriend needs you! I'm not his bestfriend, but I helped him, at the time when he needed me most! And you, you go and get fucked by my brother!"

"I, um, Ginny it's not like that, you see-"

"I don't care! Just do one thing, you and that rat get away from Harry! I'm his friend now, and I'll help him. You and that, um brother of mine, go and leave Harry alone! Got it?"

"Ginny, stop you're confused, you're-"

"No, I am not confused. I'm damn infuriated, cause those who were always besides Harry when everything was ok, now abondoned him to have the time of their lives, when he needed them mostly! Just do one thing, ignore Harry! Forget him! He'll feel worse when he'll see you, believe me..."

"This is not our fault only! He's snaps at us when we talk to him, we try to help him!"

"You do not try hard enough! I was beat by Harry to have him at last talking to me! I had to suffer, but no, you two cannot suffer! You just take the easy way."

"Ginny, I-" Hermione tried to say, as she felt that what Ginny was saying was true.

"Don't appologise, I don't really care. But just one thing, I want to thank-you, for the past 4 years where you two made Harry happy instead of me. But now, it's my turn, and you're not gonna be part of his life."

Hermione nodded, as she started crying and ran out of the dormitory, crying.

It was now evening, and Hermione and Ron ran out of Hogwarts School, and went near the lake. Both stripped of their clothing and jumped in the lake with their underwear, and kissed in the moon light.

"Oh, Mione, I can't imagine how I never was able to talk to you before, and declare my feelings."

"Shut up!" Hermione said playfully, "Who'd hear you would think that you said the 'I love you' first. Remember, I did the first move."

"Yeah, right," Ron said as he smiled, and kissed Hermione's nose. She shivered, and Ron asked, "Feeling cold? If you want we can stop swimming, and sit under the trees."

"Aha," Hermione replied, thinking that this was going to be a good time to talk to Ron about Harry. As they reached the shores the performed the drying spells, and sat under a tree with their cloaks covering them as it was now cold. "Ron, I think that we're not treating Harry well."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, we should be with him right now."

"Why do you say this?"

"Well, I think that he feels alone. I mean he's just lost Sirius, and we're not there to help him."

"It's him who sends us away. I tried many times to talk to him."

"But we should try harder!"

"Oh, Mione, stop worrying, he'll soon be better in no time!" And with that he started tickling Hermione, and the two were soon in fits of laughter.

Harry had at last come out of the dormitory, besides for lessons. He went in the Common Room, and sat down on the Couch, and looked directly at the lit fireplace, expecting the flames to turn green and see Sirius there again like before.

He had actually come downstairs to talk to Ginny, but she was not in the Common Room. There were a bunch of first years playing Chess, by the windows, and some 2nd or 3rd year old girls muttering about the newest dress robes. There were also some 3rd year old boys talking about the newest broom which was going to be launched on Christmas.

He had even lost the taste in Quidditch, and was going to ask Ron to remove him from the team. Oh, Ron, he thought angrily. 'Where is he right now? Snogging Hermione?' He had already figured it out that the two were dating, and was so angry at being left out. They were also one of his problems. They who could have loved him had abondoned him too.

"Harry?" he heard a voice, and saw Ginny looking at him.

"Ginny!" he muttered as he stood up, "I'm so sorry, for before, I don't know what got into me!"

"It's ok," she said and smiled, making him feel relieved. The two sat down, and up to now, only about 5 or 6 3rd years were left in the Common Room, as the others had gone to their dormitories and the elder students, were probably, walking around the lake, and swimming just like Hermione and Ron.

"Gin, I know this will probably make you laugh, but I need help."

"I know."

"What do you mean?"

"You have so many thoughts on your mind, and this is making you feel angry, and frustrated. Harry, have you thought about Sirius' death this afternoon?"

"Yeah, and I agree with you, it's not my fault. It was a plan. Voldemort's plan, and if I keep going like this, I won't be able to defeat him."

"That's it Harry. I quite agree. But there's another thing. You must trust Dumbledore."

"Don't talk to me about him!"

"Harry, he respects you, and trusts you. He did not talk to you about certain things before because you were not ready. But Harry, he's the wisest wizard alive, with his help you can defeat, you-kn-Voldemort."

"I know!" Harry said irritably, and put his hands on the back of his head, and rested backwards.

"Then what is it that troubles you?"

"I'm afraid that I'll lose you, just like how I lost Sirius. I'm afraid that Dumbledore will think that I'm not good enough to defeat Voldemort, and that everyone will lose trust in me, and I'm afraid that I won't find love. I'm getting violent, because I'm feeling alone, I mean just like how I hit you today ... I was horrible!"

"Harry," Ginny said as she breathed heavily, and was ready for the worst. "I'm in love of you."

"What?"

"You're loved. I'm not going to ever lose trust in you. I'm going to give you my love, and you'll survive with it," Ginny whispered and looked at her feet. Harry smiled, and put 3 fingers under Ginny's chin, and pushed her face up to look at him.

"You know what, I think I love you too!" Harry said as he smiled, and hugged Ginny. She hugged him back happily, and said,

"Harry, we'll defeat Voldemort, and you'll be free to live your own life again!"

"Yeah," Harry said happily, and pressed his lips hard against Ginny's.
