CHAPTER 4

Ginny and Dean had slept together. When Harry and Ginny were together, they had both wanted it, badly, but Harry said no, it wasn't the right time, after the battle was over, when they were safe.

"Good-bye, Harry." Ginny apparated to her flat, immediately putting up the shields to prevent anyone apparating in. Stumbling into her room, she collapsed on her bed, and Ginny broke down, crying herself to sleep. (She and Dean didn't live together.

Harry stood there a few moments, gathering his thoughts. Ginny had said she loved him, but she obviously loved Dean. Seeing a piece of parchment and a quill on a nearby table, he walked over, writing Ron and Hermione a quick note, explaining how to contact him, as he was leaving the next morning. Leaving the note on the table, he apparated to the Leaky Cauldron. Harry went up to his room after he had had a glass of fire whiskey, falling asleep on his bed quickly, only to be awakened hours later by a knock on his door.

Ron and Hermione had gone to go check on Harry and Ginny, and, seeing them gone, didn't think anything of it, as they were too wrapped in their own happiness.

Ron took his fiancée out for dinner that night, in celebration of getting engaged and of Hermione being pregnant.

As Hermione at food for two, Ron wasn't eating at all – which was very peculiar for him. Reaching her hand across the table, she took Ron's in her own.

"Ron, what's wrong? I thought you were happy?"

Sighing, Ron set down his fork, squeezing Hermione's hand gently.

"'Mione darling, I'm ecstatic. It's just I'm worried about Ginny, how she's handling seeing Harry again."

"She didn't show up for her date with Dean,"

"What? How do you know that?"

"Because he's sitting right over there by himself."

And indeed he was. Dean Thomas was sitting in the back, eating food by himself.

"D'you think Ginny's okay? You don't think she tried to-" Ron was starting to get worried now.

"No, Ron, she's okay. She's not trying to kill herself again. When I went to the bathroom earlier, I Flooed over quick and she was in bed sleeping. I'm going to go talk to Dean and tell him what's going on."

Hermione stood up and kissed Ron's head, walking over to where Dean sat. After explaining to him what had happened, telling him to wait for her to come to him later, he left and she went back to sit down.

"He's not happy about it, but he won't bother her now anyways." Seeing that Ron was still just picking at his food, she put her fork down. "Do you want to go home?" Hermione's leg ran up Ron's. "We could celebrate there," Ron moaned softly, as she knew just how to get him going.

Standing up, Hermione went to the apparition area, beckoning to Ron as she walked. Ron followed her, leading her into the bedroom when they reached home.

Ginny woke hours later and noticed that she had missed her date with Dean; she'd apologize later. Sighing, she thought about Harry. God, what it was like to kiss him again…

"I've got to go see him," she said to no one in particular, as it was just her in the whole flat.

"You do that dearie…" replied her mirror in a sleepy tone.

Apparating to the Leaky Cauldron, Ginny went to find Tom the barman, as he would know where Harry was staying.

"He's staying here, in room 14."

Ginny thanked him, running up to room fourteen. Knocking on his door, she called his name softly.

"Harry? It's me, Ginny. Can I talk to you?"

Harry was woken by the knocking, and when he heard Ginny's voice, put his glasses on, opening the door.

"Come in,"

"Harry, I just realized now that I can't love you. I've loved you since I was ten, and that love just increased as each year passed. But I'm engaged to Dean now Harry. I'm sorry, but I just can't love you." Ginny was a liar. She did love Harry.

"Do you love him?"

"I must love him a little. I said yes, didn't I?"

Ginny was met with Harry's lips again, a kiss of pure emotion; Dean had never kissed her like that. When he pulled away, Ginny held onto him tight, refusing to let him go again.

A/N: Wow, I just realized that I write really short chapters. I'm sorry about that everyone! Anyways, I'm hoping to get tons of reviews with this story, because if I have enough I might write a sequel! I don't care if it's 'Keep this coming, I really like it,' or if it's 'This story sucks.' Just so I have reviews and I know people are reading! Well, if I'm not careful, this Author's Note will become longer than the chapter, so I'll maybe continue it in the next chapter. xD

Love,
