"You were cheating on me," Ginny whispered as Harry stepped into their house.
"It wasn't exactly cheating, we only met for drinks."
"And you ended up hugging each other, naked, in our bed?" she asked even though she already knew the answer, had already seen it with her own eyes. She wanted to feel rage about the whole thing, but something inside her wasn't able to.
"To be fair... What about you and Draco?" Harry asked trying not to meet her eyes. It was easy enough, since she kept staring at the floor.
"What about me and Draco?" she asked looking up at him finally.
"I heard that you and him were hooking up while I was in Egypt."
Ginny laughed loudly.
"Really? While you were in Egypt and I was in Australia for the tournament? When the bloody hell would I have had time to shag Draco Malfoy? I barely had time to brush my own teeth. What's next, Harry, you're going to tell me that it wasn't what it looked like? That you and my brother weren't, you know?"
"Would you believe me if I said it?" Harry asked after a moment.
"No, I know how you feel about Ron. I know you see me as a female version of him, something society will accept. Do you even actually love me Harry? Or do you just see Ron every time we kiss, every time we - you know."
"I don't know, I thought over time, that I might love you, the way I love him."
"You should really tell him that, Harry. Tell him that you love him before he does something incredibly stupid like ask Hermione to marry him. If you want, I'll even sign the papers now," Ginny whispered tears starting to pour from her eyes.
"Ginny."
"I only want you to be happy, Harry, and if it's with my brother, than so be it."
"You'd really do that for me, divorce me so Ron and I could be together?"
"If that's what you want, I understand. You should be with the one you love, not the one who's just a shadow of them." Harry took Ginny's hand.
"Thank you," he whispered kissing her on the cheek. "I need to go see Ron before... you know," he stated darting off towards the fireplace. Ginny watched him leave before brushing the tears from her eyes. Wordlessly, she summoned the divorce papers she'd had drawn a few days prior, the day after she'd discovered Harry and Ron in their bed.
She jotted her name down quickly before she could allow herself to change her mind. She already felt bad enough convincing Harry to marry her, bad enough knowing now that she was keeping him from her brother. She set the papers on the table for him to sign when he got home and headed to bed wondering if she'd ever feel anything less than guilty about keeping them apart in the first place.
