A/N:

Disclaimer - Sadly I don't Harry or any of his friends or places in the Wizarding World. I don't even own the character Brionna Culver seeing as she's based on one of my best mates! I do however own the plot and any other original characters.

Summary - Follow Harry through his seventh and final year at Hogwarts where he has to deal with girl problems, being a teenager and Voldemort and his Horcruxes. HBP spoilers, prequel to One Night Can Change Everything.

Thanks to everyone who reviewed:

adj7 - I just liked the idea of Ginny being a bitch. I dunno I think it's coz I can be one when I want to be and we have the same star sign. Her birthday is August 11th whereas mine is August 10th. Leo's can be known as firey people with short tempers. She also wants to understand a lot of things that Harry's going through but can't because she hasn't really been in a situation like that before so she got angry with herself more than Harry and just took it out on him. And I made Harry take the stuff she was saying because he has never been loved by anyone and really doesn't know what love is so he wouldn't know what to do in a situation like that. Thanks for reviewing.

lily101 - You did review last chapter. And yes Hogwarts does have it's fair share of problems like any normal school would. Thanks for reveiwing.

frenchpiment - I agree it does suck that this story doesn't have as many reviews as One Night Can Change Everything because I actually like this one better than that. You found me was one of the first songs I heard of hers. My best friend who lives in America sent me that and Where is your heart via MSN and I nearly cried when she didn't sing it because I like it too. Whenever I hear those songs I think of my best friend. So really I have her to thank for introducing me to Kelly because if she had never sent me them then I wouldn't know who she is. But back to the story - please don't hate me for this chapter! I'm begging you! Thanks for the review.

r a i d e e p o y n t e r - I will keep updating. Thanks for the review.

Anyways I know it's been ages since I last reviewed but I hate writer's block again and I had a chest infection which then went on to be a torn muscle in my chest. So I haven't been in a writing mood for at least 3 weeks. Oh and please don't hate me for what happens in this chapter. It has to happen. It's all part of the plot. And please remember to review. I only had 4 reviews but 131 hits on the chapter. Please it only takes 2 seconds! And this would have been up last night but the document manager didn't want to upload my document. hehe.

Chapter 11 - Harry's Outburst

As October turned into November, Harry was struggling with his workload.

All he ever seemed to do was go to classes, do his homework, patrolling the corridors and go to his extra defence lessons, he hardly ever saw Ginny anymore.

One evening before he went to one of his extra lessons, Harry went to Gryffindor Tower to see Ginny.

When he got there he found Ginny talking to her friends and walked over to her.

"Guess who," Harry said as he placed his hands over Ginny's eyes.

"Stop it," Ginny snapped.

Harry took his hands away from her eyes and looked at Ginny feeling rather puzzled at why she snapped at him.

"Gin?"

Ginny looked at him and said, "oh so Harry Potter can find time to come and see his girlfriend."

Ginny gave Harry a dirty look and walked briskly out of the common room and up to the girl's dormitories.

One of Ginny's friends looked at Harry.

"She's been really upset you know. She thought that you believed what Bri said and didn't want anything to do with her anymore. I've heard her crying at night, she really loves you," she said.

"I have been busy. I am Head Boy and the workload is very exhausting. I would never believe what Bri said. Can you go and get her for me Felicity? I'll be in my old dormitory waiting for her," Harry said.

Felicity nodded and disappeared up the stairs to the dormitory that she shared with Ginny.

When she was inside the circular room, Felicity saw Ginny sat on her bed looking at pictures of herself and Harry while silent tears ran down her cheeks.

"Ginny?" Felicity asked.

"What if he doesn't love me anymore?" Ginny wailed.

"He loves you very much. Come on Gin, wipe those tears. Harry's waiting to speak to you," Felicity told Ginny.

"Where is he waiting Felicity?"

"In your brother's dormitory."

Ginny wiped her eyes and wandered out of the dormitory.

As Ginny got nearer to Ron's dormitory she felt more and more nervous as she thought about Harry and what he might say to her.

When she reached the door, she pushed it open and saw Harry sat on his old bed.

"Harry, I'm sorry I snapped at you," Ginny told him.

She sat down on the bed and looked at Harry.

"That's okay Gin. I really should have put time aside for you. I never knew that being Head Boy would be this hectic. I'm sorry Ginny," Harry explained.

Ginny smiled and hugged Harry.

Whilst Ginny was hugging him Harry tilted her face up and kissed her.

Suddenly Ginny pulled away and looked at Harry.

"What was that for?"

"Gin you're not going to like what I'm about to say," Harry said quietly.

Ginny looked at Harry and frowned.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well I think we should break up," Harry said nervously.

"Why?" Ginny demanded.

Harry looked at Ginny confused.

"Why Harry? Please don't tell me that it's you being noble again. I've told you before I don't care if he comes after me," Ginny told him.

"Part of it is because of that. I don't want you to get hurt but the other part is that this week has been murder. I think I'm too busy for a girlfriend right now no matter how much I love you. You'd just end up being neglected."

Ginny glared at Harry and stood up facing him.

"TOO BUSY! TOO BUSY! HARRY JAMES POTTER THAT IS THE MOST PATHETIC EXCUSE EVER!" Ginny shouted.

Harry stood up as well and faced Ginny.

"WHAT? I'M PATHETIC? GINNY I AM NOT PATHETIC! YOU ARE THE ONE WHO'S PATHETIC GINEVRA WEASLEY!"

"HOW? HOW AM I PATHETIC?"

"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO FOLLOWED ME AROUND FOR FOUR YEARS! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH ME WHEN I WAS TEN! HOW'S THAT FOR PATHETIC!" Harry shouted back.

Ginny's eyes welled up with tears and she started sobbing.

"You know what Harry? I can't believe I love you because you're being so cold to me. I don't want to know you anymore. We're through," she sobbed.

Ginny ran out of the dormitory and up to her own dormitory.

Once Ginny had gone, Harry started to wreck the room.

When it was well and truly trashed Harry stomped down the stairs into the common room.

Harry stepped off the last step and looked around the room and saw everyone looking at him whilst wondering what had gone on in the dormitory.

"Shows over," he said before walking towards the portrait hole.

When Harry reached the head's dormitory he slammed the portrait hole shut and themself onto a sofa and started to cry.

Hermione heard the noise and came out of her bedroom to see what was going on.

When she saw Harry she rushed over to the sofa and wrapped her arms around him.

"Oh Harry what's wrong?" she asked.

"Me and Ginny broke up. We had an argument and she dumped me," Harry said and between sobs.

"I'm sure you'll make up. You two really love each other and she'll realise that she misses you soon enough. Are you going to your defence lesson with Professor Kerrigan today?"

Harry sniffed and nodded.

"What time does it start?"

Harry looked at a clock and said, "in five minutes."

Hermione smiled at Harry as he got up and walked out of their common room whilst wiping his eyes with the sleeve of his robes.

When Harry arrived at his defence lesson he was ten minutes late.

"Sorry Professor Kerrigan. I was talking to Hermione," he said as he walked into the classroom.

"That's okay Harry. I should think that being Head Boy is keeping you rather busy," a male voice said.

Harry looked at Professor Kerrigan and saw Lupin stood behind her.

"What are you doing here?" Harry asked in surprise.

"Well Harry, Professor Kerrigan isn't who she says she is," Lupin said.

"She's Tonks isn't she?" Harry demanded.

Lupin looked at Kerrigan and frowned.

"How did you find out and how long have you known?"

"Since the sorting. She dropped her fork and screwed her nose up. Hermione was the person who picked up on it. But I don't particularly care about telling you how I know. What I want to know is why."

"Why what?" Tonks replied.

"Quit playing around! And for Merlin's sake make yourself look normal!" Harry shouted.

"I can't Harry. If another student walked by and saw me like it I would be rumbled," Tonks explained.

"Why are you here?"

"McGonagall asked me to be here. She told the governor's that if they let her open Hogwarts then she would have an auror here. But we need to get on with the lesson otherwise we'll be here all night. I know why Snape killed Dumbledore," Tonks said wanting to change the subject.

Harry looked at Tonks and said, "why?"

"Why do you think Snape killed him?" Lupin asked.

"Because Malfoy couldn't," Harry replied.

"Exactly!" Tonks exclaimed.

"Narcissa Malfoy made Snape make an unbreakable vow that if any circumstances should Malfoy not be able to kill Dumbledore then Snape would do it. Now why do you think Dumbledore's hand turned black?" Lupin explained.

"I don't know. I thought it was because he was old."

"The Horcrux did it. They affect people in different ways. The diary posessed Ginny, the ring turned Dumbledore's hand black. We now know that the opal necklace that cursed Katie Bell was a posession of Ravenclaw and that it is also a Horcrux. But we'll destroy it at a later time," Lupin said.

"What do you think is meant by 'the power the Dark Lord knows not'. What do you have that he doesn't have?" Tonks asked.

Harry shrugged his shoulders not really wanting be there.

"Love Harry. You can love and you have people that you love you in return. I'm sure Ginny would help you in the battle."

"No she won't," Harry said glumly.

"Why?" Tonks asked.

"We broke up. End of story. I'm going to prove to everyone that I am not a pushover. I will kill Voldemort then maybe I can actually get on with my life. Maybe then I could get back together with Ginny and settle down."

Tonks smiled and looked up at Lupin who was feeling rather proud at the young man that Harry had grown up to be.

Harry saw Lupin staring at him and said, "what? Do I have something on my face?"

Lupin shook his head and Tonks started to look troubled.

"Does someone want to tell me what's going on?" Harry asked knowing that if someone didn't answer then his temper would get the better of him.

"Well, you see," Tonks started.

"Harry please don't get angry about this but Malfoy wants to work for the Order. He says that he only went along with the Death Eater stuff because his father forced him to," Lupin said.

They both watched as Harry's face got redder and redder as he thought about the news that he had just been told.

"Harry say something!" Tonks exclaimed.

"When?" Harry replied angrily.

"When what?"

"When did he decide this?"

"At the beginning of September," Lupin said.

"AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT HE ISN'T ANOTHER SNAPE?" Harry shouted.

"We made him drink Veritaserum then questioned him while under the influence of the potion," Tonks explained.

Harry shook his head violently when he hard this.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE LETTING HIM JOIN! DOES HE HAVE A DARK MARK? I'LL BE WILLING TO BET ANYTHING THAT HE HAS!"

"No, we checked for that. He told us that if he had succeeded in killing Dumbledore he would have got it then. Harry just think about it, we won't tell him where Headquarters are. He'll just take part in the fighting and the meetings that take place at school. It seems as though he wants to change," Lupin explained.

"I'M NOT LISTENING TO THIS CRAP!" Harry shouted as he stood up.

"Harry, think about it please," Tonks pleaded.

Harry shook his head and walked out of the classroom.

A couple of minutes later, Harry ran into the Gryffindor common room and panted as he looked for Ron and Hermione.

He couldn't find either of them but he saw Ginny sat by the fireplace with her friends Bri, Felicity and Katie.

He walked over to them and said, "do you know where Ron and Hermione are?"

Ginny looked at one of her friends and said, "Katie please tell him that Ron and Hermione are waiting for him in the Head's common room."

Katie sighed and started to repeat what Ginny had said but was cut off by Harry.

"I heard what she said. There's no need to repeat it Katie. Thanks."

When Harry got to his common room he sat down and told Ron and Hermione what had been said about Malfoy.

Once he had finished explaining Harry looked at them and frowned.

"I can't believe that Malfoy wants to help the Order. It must be a ploy to keep himself out of Azkaban," Hermione said.

Ron nodded along then said, "there is no way that I am going to make friends with that ferret!"

"They told me to think about it then get back to them if I think it's okay. Like that's ever going to happen," Harry said angrily.

Ron and Hermione nodded and looked at Harry not knowing if they should voice their opinions about the sudden change in Malfoy's behaviour around the school as he had withdrew into himself a lot and stopped bullying a lot of the other students including Hermione, Ron and Harry.
