Disclamer: I don't own anything. JKR's characters and world. I'm just having some fun with it =]

A/N: It's written before the 7th book so forget pretty much anything that happened in that one.

Hopefully there aren't too many mistakes – though I'm sure there are.

Anyway reviews are always appreciated and again I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 2

Ginny woke up quite late, it was a Weasley thing to do as all her brothers (excluding Percy) had done and she continued the tradition. She looked over to the bed next to her. It didn't surprise her that no one was in it as Hermione was always an early riser.

"Mmph" moaned Ginny has so slowly rolled over and climbed out of bed. When she got up she patted her hair down as to make it not as bed hair – ish, and then slowly walked down the stairs whipping the sleep from her eyes.

"Morning, Gin" said Hermione who had already made toast and appeared to be halfway through her breakfast

"M - Morning" said Ginny stifling a yawn "What time is it?"

"Oh, it's about 10, I woke up a bit late today and no one else was up so I laid in bed for a while before I came down for breakfast." said Hermione and then continued "I knew you would be up soon so I made you some toast about 5 minutes ago." Hermione pushed the plate in front of Ginny as she sat down

"Thanks." said Ginny smiling as she sat down and began to eat her toast

"So when do you think the others will be up?" Hermione asked Ginny and Ginny choked on her toast as she had tried to swallow it all before answering "Are you alright?" Hermione asked concerned but smiling at her friends behaviour.

"Y- Yeah" said Ginny half laughing "Anyway, to answer your question they probably won't be up for another hour... you know how they are there all lazy, but I expect mum is outside getting the gnomes probably."

"Oh okay, cool. What do you want to do? After you finish your toast, if you don't choke on it" said Hermione giggling at her own comment

"Oh, ha-ha very funny" said Ginny in mock hurt - ness but was smiling "Well I vote we play chess, I know I can beat you at that." said Ginny laughing at her friends expression.

"Fine, but you're going to help me, alright" Hermione said in a serious manner.

"Oh, I suppose, if I have to" said Ginny rolling her eyes at the other girl.

They left the kitchen after Ginny finished her toast and walked into the lounge room and Ginny grabbed the old chess board

"Ok so you know the basic stuff, so I'll go easy on you, Ron said you're really bad at it... kind of surprises me, I thought logical people were good at chess?" said Ginny contemplatively

"Yes. Well apparently not me... I've never been any good at most games, just reading and school type things" replied Hermione staring at the chess board as if she thought if she concentrated hard enough the board would move the pieces in the right spot for her.

After about an hour of Hermione's chess pieces yelling out at her things like "Don't move there you idiot girl" and "what are you suicidal?"while Ginny's pieces egged her on to smash Hermione's , which she ignored several times and resulted in the pieces scowling at her, they finished. Ginny won of course as she is a Weasley and they are all good at chess which she pointed out to Hermione, who scowled at her.

"Hey Hermione" said Ron who appeared to have just woken up as he was wiping his eyes and had hair in all different directions

"Hello, Ron, hello, harry" said Hermione as harry followed Ron down the stairs

"Hey Hermione, see you tried to beat Ginny in chess, how'd that work out for you?" said harry grinning

"Oh, not to well actually" said Ginny answering for Hermione

"Thought as much, well I think I might go get some breakfast how about you Ron?" asked harry who turned his head to look over to Ron

"Yeah good idea, mate, coming you two? He asked looking over to Ginny and Hermione

"Oh – nah I think I'll just go up to my room I've got some things I need to do, I'll be down later." said Ginny and she walked up the stairs and into her room. Once she was in her room she grabbed her little tattered book and grabbed a quill

Dear Diary that isn't evil. I don't think.

Well , where to start... the bit where I have to tell Harry I like his best friend – female friend or that he will most likely end up telling her... well I guess I should tell harry I'm over him... I can't lead him on, it would be cruel, but then he will probably want to know who it is and I'll have to tell him, I guess I'll have to get him to understand the situation before I say who it is. It might work, hopefully he'll understand.

- GINNY –

She sat for hours reading over what was written in her book, as if it would tell her what the answer was to her problems, but she knew this was just wishful thinking as the only thing that had ever written back to her was a possessed diary, and she didn't want one of those again.

"Hey, Gin" she heard a voice from the door. It was Harry

"Hey, Harry" said Ginny putting her book underneath some of her other books so it blended in. "What's up?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing" said harry "you seem like you don't want to hang around me anymore, so I was just wondering if there's anything wrong?"

"It's not that I don't want to hang around you, it's just- well- its kind of complicated and hard to say." said Ginny and harry gave her a quizzical look

"What do you mean?" asked harry

"I – just... You know how I always wanted you so much and I thought you were that one for me?" said Ginny avoiding Harry's eyes but he nodded while she continued "I think were much better friends than we are a couple." Ginny paused and waited for a response

"Oh- so, you – just want to be friends?"harry said looking at her hoping he had not heard her correctly.

"Yes, I'm really sorry harry" said Ginny whose eyes were watering up a bit

"Hey you don't have to cry." said harry honestly "I was sort of expecting it for about a week, but... can I ask if there's someone else?"

"yes." Ginny said and Harry looked at her with hurt in his eyes and Ginny quickly continued "But what you have to understand is that they don't even know, and I never want them to know, I just didn't want to drag you along, since I don't – don't like you like that anymore." said Ginny looking into Harry's eyes trying to see how he was feeling.

"Oh, so who is it? You know just so I can know who I lost out to" said Harry grinning, and lightening the mood a little, Ginny laughed softly

"You're not going to like it and you have to promise me not to tell them .As I'm not planning on telling them anytime soon"

"Yeah I promise, you're still my friend, I wouldn't do that" Harry said completely honestly

"Alright, well, it's... Hermione" said Ginny softly in case anyone was outside
