Him and her
Life is turned
The day I knew you would leave
I can barely breath
Can you hear me scream?

Nearly a week since the the Harry/Cho incident, Ginny and Draco's relationship was in full force. She had long since realized that whatever she and Harry had before was for the most part, over. Harry and Cho began their relationship anew, but his thoughts of Ginny were far from gone. He couldn't keep her off his mind, he couldn't convince himself that Cho made him happy. It was too much for him. But he tried, and Cho tried to make the best of things.

"Look, Harry," she said one night as they snuggled on one of the couches in the Gryffindor Common Room. "I know that Ginny meant a lot to you, and I know that she probably still does, but she's moved on and you need to as well." He looked into her eyes with disdain but realized that she was right.

"I know," he muttered, "I'm really trying, and I'm so glad to be with you, don't get me wrong."

"I know, Harry." She smiled up at him and gave him a light peck on the lips. "Well, I'd better head back to the Ravenclaw dorms before it gets too late. I'll see you at breakfast." He wished her goodnight and stood to head to his own dorm but Ginny entered just as Cho exited. He was frozen in place and they caught each others gaze.

"Hello, Harry," Ginny said politely.

"Hey, Gin." She didn't stop but cooley walked past him and up the stairs to the girls dorms. He watched her go before snapping out of his trance. He wondered if she could still see the pain in his eyes when he looked at her. He began his journey up the staircase to the boys dorm, all the way pondering what to do about his current situation. He loved Ginny, but she was long gone. Any love she had for him was already lost. But he also cared about Cho, and he could tell that Cho cared a lot about him too. 'What to do?' he wondered.

Thrown in all directions
You epitome of perfection
She's lost her will
She's lost her will
Time is standing still

The next morning at breakfast Harry took his normal seat between Ron and Cho. He pushed around his food as usual. He looked for Ginny and Draco at the Slytherin table but couldn't find them. 'Odd,' he thought. But just as the thought passed through is mind the doors open and in they came, giggling and looking so much in love it could make you hurl. He grimaced at Draco and then looked endearingly toward Ginny.

"Oy, Harry, can you snap out of your trance long enough to make some conversation with your best mate?" Ron mumbled through a mouthful of food. Harry grinned and glanced down at his half eaten plate.

"Yeah, Ron, I suppose I can."

"And what about some good conversation with your girlfriend?" This time it came from his left where Cho sat looking beautiful as usual. He gave her a quick peck on the lips.

"A definate yes to that one." He smiled and her face lit up with that glow that Harry had grown so accustomed to.

As Harry made his way to his first class he passed Ginny and Draco in the hall currently distracted by a heated snogging session before they split ways for the day.

"I love you, Draco." Ginny whispered just loud enough for Draco /and/ Harry to hear. Harry rolled his eyes but felt a pang in his heart at the same time.

"I love you, too." Draco whispered back, but his voice was like ice to Harry's ears. They parted and as Ginny turned down the corridor she bumped into Harry.

"Oh, hey," she said uncomfortably.

"Sorry," Harry muttered and tried to keep walking to avoid anymore awkwardness.

"Harry," she spoke before he walked away, "we are still friends right? I mean, I don't really want things to be strange between us. I just don't want you to be hurt that's all." He stopped and turned to her.

"Ginny," he said almost too quiet for her to hear, "I'm hurt, but, I'm almost over it. We'll be friends, I just need time." She nodded understanding and turned around, apparently finding a different way to class just so she could avoid a silent walk down the hall with Harry. He watched her go and wondered if there really was a part of her that still cared.

The way we are
The way we were
It's just a shadow of what's wrong
The time with you
The time is stirred
I love you for so long
The hearts they turn
They turn away
She says to go, please don't you cry
Love lost was found
Night turns to day
