I woke up the next morning with the same glum mood as yesterday. I sent an owl to Katie telling her i'm fine and sorry for not telling her im okay earlier.
She replied telling me that if I do that again she will hunt me down, and that she will meet me at the three Broomsticks for lunch.
I was getting ready thinking about last night. I still can't believe that Harry has a girlfriend. Anyways why would the great Harry Potter want anything to do with boring Ginny weasley anyway when he could have a gorgeous super model instead. Theres no way I can compete with that. I should probabaly stop thinking about it, the more I do, the more I add to my bad mood.
There, i'm done. Today just felt like a sweater and pants day.
I was wearing a plane black sweater with a hoodie, Jeans, and I didn't feel like having my hair down so I put it into a bun. I put on my ugges and apparated to Hogsmead.
Today just felt like a boring plane and gloomy day. The clouds where blocking the sun and it just looked so sad. I walked down the streets until I spotted The Three Broomsticks. I walked inside and started searching for , she wasn't there. She probably didn't arrive yet. I took a booth near the back window waiting for her.
I really want her to come quick, because all want to do is go home and stay home, and that was really unlike me.
I waited for 34 minutes until I see her making her way to me with a strait face. Katie sat in the booth and looked at me strait in the eye.
"Are you crazy Ginny?" It didn't sound much as a question but more as a statement. "Listen I said sorry okay" I said starting to a bit annoyed fast. " I know, I know, Gin, it's just why didn't you tell us you where fine and meet us at the front?" She asked me.
"Harry" I just said, I knew she would know what I mean and by the look on her face at the moment it lookes like she got it.
"What, do you mean Harry?" She asked me with a look on her face. "I mean... I saw him there during the attack" I shut the lids of my eyes.
"What! What was he doing there? Did he see you?" Katie said now having a bit of fear wash over her scared face. "He's a Auror, didn't I tell you? And no he didn't see me, thats why I ran off from the back.
Katie gave a breath of relieve she asked me another question. "Did you see him yet, you know more properly ?" I took in a deep breath and answerd. "Yes I saw them yesterday at the Burrow" I tried my best to keep calm by taking deep breathes, inhale and exhale. "Them? Who's them Gin?" Shit I said them. Okay here comes the worst part. "Hehasagirlfriend" I mumbled trying to keep back the tears stinging in my eyes. I Couldn't break down in front of her. She gasped, how did she know what I said?
"Oh, Gin. You don't like him still don't you?" I didn't know how to reply. Yes or no, truth or lie.
I couldn't let her be disappointed in me, and she shouldn't have to worry about me it wouldn't be fair. "No I don't" I lied. Katie just gave me a closer look as if i was hiding treasure chest in my face.
"Ok" she just said. " you know maybe he will brake up with her soon like all the other girls." I know what shes doing, she is trying to see if I will tell her the truth. I knew it would be hard lying to Katie, she is really good at reading people. "I don't think so, they where for 2 years." I couldn't help but have one tear fall out of my eye. I wiped it away quickly.
"Gin listen it's not a sin if you still love him, and I can't say I know how you feel, but i'm here for you got that" she told me and pulled me in for a hug.
"Thanks Katie" She smiled. " come on lets have a good time right now" I nodded in aggrement.

The rest of the evening went by super fast. Katie and I went to walk around in muggel London. We would stop here and there so Katie could find a perfect outfit for her new date. I would just stand there and help her with some of her choices. I sort of developed a scence of fashion over the years.
We where about to go back to our flats because the sun was about to set untill I spotted a tiny shop with blue flashing lights reading, Maggies Tune. I made my way towards the store window. It seemed to be a old music store.
" hey Katie, lets go in here" without waiting for a response I walked in.
Inside looked as small as it did on the outside, in one side of the shop was shelves of music books and beside them was a strange shaped instrument with strings. I think it's called a guitar. I started walking around and looking at the weird shaped was not much instruments in the store but all I know is that there was onley a few instruments I know.
I spotted on one side of the room, a large grand piano. I knew what it was because I know how to play. I remember the day when I was only in my 3rd year at Hogwarts when my father brought home a piano to add to his collection of muggle artifacts.
Of course it was much smaller than the one right in front of me, but I was so interested on how it works that I guess I to teach myself.
It was hard but after Hogwarts I took a few classes and now I know how to play, sometimes I would even write my own music.
I checked the price. 2,000 pounds! I sighed and walked away. "Gin, arent you going to get the piano? I saw you looking at it." Katie asked me. How does she know what it's called, then I remembered that she is a muggle born.
"No" I just said. I really did want it, but I just couldn't afford- WAIT! Am I stupid or what? Of course I can afford it! I do get paid playing quidditch don't I?
"Actually I will" She looked at me confused at my sudden change of mind.
I paid for the grand piano and then I got help to take it out of the shop "would you like me to help take it to your home miss?" Said a man who workes there. "No thank you, I'm good" he shrugged and walked away. It really looked like he hated his job.
I looked side to side to see if anyone was around, then after the coast was clear I took out my wand and shrunk the once big piano and stuffed it into my pocket. It was already dark out and most of tye stores where beginning to close.
"I should go get ready for my date. I will send you a owl soon, bye Gin." Katie told me "Bye katie."
I apparated to my flat and began to set up my new piano. I decided to put it in the corner of my sitting room. I stood back to look at it from far, it also looked good for decoration.
The rest of the night I was playing on the piano trying to remember how to play and then called it a night went to sleep.

The next moring Herat hermione invited me over at her flat she shared with Ron. I got ready and with a 'pop!' I apparated to her home.
My curly haired friend opend the door obviously knowing I came from the 'pop' and welcomed me in.
"Hey Ginny, how was yesterday with Katie" she asked while making tea. I took a seat on the table. "Great, how about you, did you have fun?" I asked. I wonder if Harry wanted me to be there.
"It was fantastic. Alex and I got along really well, me and her even left the boys for awhile to do some shopping..." Hermione continued talking about how great Alex is, how funny she is, and how talented she is.
I felt sort of left out. Looks like they where having fun without me.
The one time I didn't go out with them and Hermione already has a new bestfriend. Great. Is this the only reason why she asked me to come, to talk about Alexandra?
"... honestly she is such an amazing persone I think we are going to be great friends." She finished. "Thats really great Hermione" I said faking a smile. Was I jealous? Maybe a bit, was I annoyed? Definitely.
"Is Ron home?" I asked. "No, he has work today. The ministry called him in early this morning, he was out since 5:00AM." She said casually. There was a awkward silence. I was thinking of something to say but Hermione spoke first." Alex invited me to the movies this friday and I was wondering if you would like to join us." Hermione told me. "Sure, i'd love to" Hell ya I was coming! I wasn't going to let that woman steal Hermione from me.
"Great, i'll tell her when she comes." What did she just say? 'When she comes?' " what do you mean when she comes?" I asked her trying to keep my temper under controle. Ugh! If I knew she was coming I wouldn't have came. Hermione spinned around to look at me "Oh, sorry I forgot to mention it letter, but Alex is coming over " she finished. And as if on cue there was a ring on the doorbell.
I'm a dead woman.
Hermione walked towards the door and opend it up."Hey Hermione!" Alexandra said while giving her a bone crushing hug. "Hey!" She just replide
Alex walked into the house and set her coat behinde a chair. Does she even know i'm hear? "So whatcha making there Herm" They where already calling eachother by nicknames!? "Just some tea for you guys" Alexes face looked confused. Is she blinde?! Im right here!
She started to look around the room and spotted me. How did she not see me? Is she that dumb?! "Oh, i'm so sorry I didn't see you... uh, whats your name again?" Ah, now I exsit. "Ginny" Just tell her with a bit of an annoyed voice.
"Oo, Hermy look who is on the front cover Witch Weekly!" She said with the most girliest tone I have ever heared. She pulled out the magazine from her purse. Hermione gasped " I love this photo of you, and the dress" with the same girly tone. Seriously what is going on passed it over to me to see.
She was wearing a beautiful black gown and with a silver tiara. She had a mysterious face on. I looed at the magazine then back at her. This photo looked nothing like her, it was obvious there was some editing. "I love it " I told her with a fake girly voice. I handed it back. "So, did Harry get called in early today too?" Hermione asked.
"Ya he did. I get so worried when he's out on one of his missions. I just saw him run out with that Serious look on his face. Ugh, I hate that look." Well did she expect him to be all happy and excited about fighting dark wizards?
They started wondering off into there own conversation about yesterday. Most of the day was them talking to each other about how much fun they had, and what they should do next. I joined in a few times after Hermione told her i'm coming to the movies too. I wonder if they noticed that i'm here that too.
I looked at the time. I was here for 2 hours."well I best be off" I said getting up and walking toward my coat. "What, come on Gin it's only 3:00 PM" Hermione protested. " I know but-" I was cut off by the front door bursting open, it was Ron. He was coverd in blood, cuts , bruises, and ash?
"Ron, what happend!" His wife asked. But Ron didn't answer. "Harry's at St Mongos" was all he said before clappsing to the floor.
