AN Ok my next update. Yeah I know it's a bit of a pointless chapter but I thought I would just get a chapter down since I haven't in a long time and since Deathly Hallows is coming out in a day or so I thought I would give you a little snippet of this fanfic. And no I have not abandoned with fanfic but I've just been really with the problem of my parents separating and having to work out what's going to happen I've just been way too preoccupied. However all that jazz has been fixed and now I'm back and ready to write many more chapters for this fanfic. Anyways enough of my babble. Back to the chapter that should have been available ages ago.
Ginny was stunned at her behaviour the night before.
What's wrong with me? Am I going mad? Ginny has never intentionally wanted to hurt Harry before, whether mentally or physically. But why was she so willing to hurt him now?
I have to talk to him. And by mean talk I mean talk civilised. Ginny knew she had to. It was the only way to keep things from getting out of control.
As Ginny reached this conclusion she then lifted herself out of her bed and walked to the door and heard the soft grumbling that was coming from the bed next to her. A thought then creaped in as she turned to the bed that occupied Hermione and then turned to the only vacant window in the room.
The sun hadn't even risen yet. Ginny's stomach clenched as she realised what she was about to d moments before. Was I just about to try to apologise to Harry at 4 in the morning? Ginny almost laughed at her stupidity.
Ginny then decided on getting up knowing perfectly well that she wasn't ever going to get back to sleep. As Ginny reached the kitchen she sat down, reflecting on how she was going to say her apology, wishing more than anything that she could get the confrontation over and done with.
Her wish in fact was granted unbeknownst to her.

Harry couldn't sleep, it was impossible. Only one thing was going through his mind, and it definitely wasn't the thought of going back to bed. Oh no, his thought was way too preoccupied with the thought of a girl with long red hair.
He knew it was his fault, even if everyone in the world told him it wasn't, he knew it was his fault. I should be with her right now;I should be saying to her my apology to why I have been so isolated towards her. She should be left in the dark.
But there was some small part of him that didn't want her to know anything, some small part of him that wants her to be gone forever. Now why the bloody hell am I thinking like that? I love her, remember? What the hell, was I just trying to convince myself that I love Ginny? What's wrong with me?
Harry shook his head vigorously as if, if he shook enough all his problems would go away. And to think even with Voldemort gone I'm still having problems. When will it end?
Harry sighed gravely. Now there is just no bloody way I'm going to get any sleep, I may as well get up.
Harry then quickly but quietly got out of Ron and his room and walked down the stairs to the kitchen deciding on getting a drink of water.
Now as he entered the kitchen, he wished more than anything that he never even thought of it, making a mental note never to get a glass of water in the dead of night again. For as he entered the room he saw a small figure slumped against the kitchen table. And as he took in the entire forme in the moonlight and as his eyes layed upon the mane of red hair all his thoughts froze.
"G-G-Ginny?" The figures head reared up and looked him in the eyes.
"Ha-Harry?"
They both stared at each other, their minds reeling but not actually functioning properly. They both didn't know what to say. This was definitely not what they planned to do when they reached the kitchen. No, this was definitely the last thing they wanted to do at that very moment, in this very situation.
Both continued their silence. Still thinking what to say. Only one question came to their minds and that was "What are you doing here?" they both voiced at the same time.
They then stopped. Now how did that happen? What this some act fate had put in as a prank? Well if this is a prank, I'm not laughing... thought Harry as he looked into those kind brown eyes with distain.
Harry then muttered almost incomprehensively "How are you?"
Ginny smiled, trust Harry to ask the most obvious question, he even seemed that he knew it was but she decided to answer it, even if she might have been lying when saying it "Yeah, I'm ok." She didn't bother asking him the same question for she already knew what he was going to say.
They both went into an uncomfortable silence. Ginny knew this was the perfect time to apologise for her actions but something was preventing her. She then took a slow breath and forced her voice to co-operate with her. Just say something... anything! Then as if it had been waiting for her to think that she heard a soft gargle that she figured out came from her. Whoa, what happened there?
"Are you ok Ginny?" Harry showing true concern for her.
She then brushed it off trying to hide her embarrassment and keeping her dignity.
She then cleared her throat "Yes... I'm fine... sorry." She finished off lamely.
A small smile traced across Harry's lips at Ginny's look of deep embarrassment. It was the first time Ginny had actually seen Harry even have a flicker of a smile since Dumbledore's death.
Ginny took this as a sign that she could continue with her apology "You-You deserve an apology..."
She then added quickly at the sight of Harry's questioning look "About last night."
Harry's eyes never left hers as she said "I'm sorry... about everything that happened. It was uncalled for."
Harry shrugged off the apology "It wasn't your fault. I have been, er, very... well I've been a bit of a prat lately, especially to you." Harry's eyes averted from hers as Ginny took a breath in.
"If anyone needs to say sorry it's me." Harry then sat down as he finished this sentence.
Ginny just looked at him with curious eyes. She knew he was holding something back and for a moment she thought he would let it come out. She should have known better. He turned around towards the kitchen window and gazed at the now rising sun.
"I'm sorry..." was all that Harry said. Ginny didn't have a clue with what he was talking about.
"What do you mean?"
Harry turned to her and said "You'll soon find out." And without a second glace he left the kitchen and could be heard going up the stairs.
Ginny was at a lost for words.
AN There at last a new chapter finished. The next chapter will be up soon enough, I hope. Please review and constructive critism ONLY. Thanks...
