CHAPTER 2

Ginny Weasley dusted off imagined dust off of her robes.

"Yes?"

"I just came by to get my dress robes. Hermione borrowed them and I need them for tonight." Eyeing the diamond on her ex-flat mate's finger, she smirked at her brother. "So, you finally asked her?"

"Yes, now go!"

"Ginny, they're in the front closet by the door."

Ginny went out of the room, and as Ron was about to ask Hermione's news, there was an echoing slap of flesh on flesh.

"Ginny, love,"

"Don't you dare call me that!"

"Ginny,"

"Get away from me, just go away! Isn't that what you do best? Leave?"

Tears had formed in Hermione's eyes as she and Ron looked at each other before bolting to the voices.

The scene that they walked in on was upsetting; Ginny up against the walls in tears, robes clutched to her chest, and Harry, reaching out to her.

Hermione let go of Ron's hand, running to Ginny.

"Ginny, darling, go into the kitchen, I'll be there later." she said quietly, stepping between the heartbroken boy and the sobbing girl. Ginny ran into the kitchen, still sobbing, as Harry's emerald eyes followed her sadly.

Ron had a look of anger on his face, which deepened at Harry's next words.

"Why is she so angry?" It was all Hermione could do to keep him from launching at their friend.

"Let's go into the library," Hermione said calmly, leading them into the next room. As she shut the door and put up a silencing charm, she sighed. Her news would have to wait. "Continue," she said, stepping between the men – or, Ron – couldn't launch at each other – or, Harry.

"Why is she mad at you? Harry, you left her in St. Mungo's!" Ron exploded at him. "She woke up from the coma about a week after you left! D'you know what the first thing out of her mouth was? 'Where's Harry?' She was heartbroken for months!"

"I couldn't let any of you get hurt. Especially Ginny – I-I-I love her, Ron."

"Harry, um, about two months ago, Ginny, she-she got engaged. To-to Dean."

A/N: That's the end of this chapter, and if you want, I'll post chapter 3 today or tomorrow also.
