Two weeks had passed practically before Ginny even knew it. She was getting more and more involved with Harry as the days passed, and they had become practically inseparable.

Also, she noticed, she hadn't seen any of Luna during that time.

Her mind flashed constantly to the conversation that she and Luna had. It had shocked her to no end, to find out that Luna was in love with Harry. She had never even thought that anyone would be in love with Harry as well as her.

She knew about Cho, but she also knew that she and Harry were old news. There was nothing there anymore, if there was ever anything there to begin with.

Ginny walked into the Gryffindor common room, completely silent despite all the chatter around her. Gryffindor had just won their Quidditch match against Hufflepuff 250-130. It was a hard-fought match, but Gryffindor had pulled it out at the very end, catching the Golden Snitch. Naturally, it was Harry who had won the match for the team.

Harry was nowhere to be seen, though. He probably hadn't made it in yet, Ginny thought; none of the Gryffindor players had made it.

Just then, the portrait opened, and Ron stepped in. He had had one of his best games as Keeper that night, and everyone was proud of him.

"Good job, Ron," Ginny said, smiling.

Ron hugged his little sister. "Thanks. I'm just ready to get to bed. I'm not even going to the after-party tonight."

"There's an after-party?"

"Yeah. We just came up with the idea a few minutes ago, Harry and I."

For a moment, Ginny hadn't thought about her current predicament. Now, though, it all came rushing back to her.

"Ron, can we talk for a minute?" She motioned over to the couch by the fireplace.

Ron looked at Ginny weirdly, but nodded and walked over to the couch. They sat down.

"Can I trust you to keep this between us?" Ginny asked.

"Sure you can, but why on earth would you want that?"

Ginny hesitated for a moment, then just came out with it: "Did you know that Luna is in love with Harry?"

Ron snickered. "Not like it wasn't obvious or anything..."

Ginny was aghast. "You mean to tell me you knew? Does Harry know?"

"Nope. We were going to tell him, but then he and you started going out and... well, we figured there wasn't really a point to it."

Ginny was still having a hard time wrapping her mind around it. "Who all knows?"

The list that Ron named was about half of their mutual friends.

"Oh come on..." Ginny got up and started pacing. "How the hell did I not see this?"

"Well Luna was being really secretive about it. She didn't want it to affect you and Harry."

Ginny looked at Ron. She had never thought about this, really. Just then, Harry walked in.

"Oh, Ginny," he said, walking over to her. "I almost didn't see you." He leaned in, and they kissed briefly.

"Hey," Harry said, "you haven't heard any rumors about me, have you?"

"Like what?" Ron asked.

"I heard that someone was in love with me- except Ginny, of course." He winked at her. "I don't think there's any doubt about that. But I don't know who they were talking about, and I'd like to find out."

Ginny looked over at Ron, who shrugged. Harry took that to mean that he didn't know anything.

"I'm going to sleep," Harry said. "I'm not even going to the party."

Ron was relieved at the change of conversation. "I am, too. We have classes tomorrow, and i know that party's going to last all night..."

Harry and Ron walked up the stairs, chatting about the game, leaving Ginny alone in the common room.

She had no one but her thoughts to comfort her. It was a feeling she'd never felt before... and one that she hoped would leave her soon.
