Chapter one: Confusion..
" Harry, shouldn't you tell someone about your scar hurting?" Hermione said to him for what seemed like the thousandth time that night.
Harry looked at her frustratedly, "Like who Hermione? Sirius? Whoops, I forgot, he's dead. How about Dumbledore, nope he's dead too, ok Hermione, I HAVE NOBODY." Harry said shouting as he charged up the stairs to his dormitory. Ron stood up to go after him, but Ginny pulled him back down.
"Let him go. He'll come back down when he's ready. Just give him time, I had to and I at least got him back for now. But, Ron, try and see it from his point of view, ' any person he gets close to either leaves him, or dies'. He can't handle it now, especially with this whole Voldy thing." Ginny said calmly. She had learned to deal with her boyfriend's mood swings, but lately something was different and she didn't know what exactly it was.
" Ron, dear, please, just let him settle down for awhile, I mean, we are one horcrux away. He's obviously stressed about finding it. It's the second to last step. Not to mention, he's been stressed about his N.E.W.T.S. He isn't doing as well in Transfiguration as he'd like, and I'm helping him with that, so just be there for him when he needs to talk ok?" Hermione said holding Ron's hand. After what seemed like a lifetime, Seamus, Dean, Neville, and Harry had finally gotten Ron to ask Hermione out. Ginny had told Harry of Hermione's feelings for Ron. Now the couple was almost inseparable.
There were a few moments of strained silence before Ron said he was going to bed. He wasn't in the least bit tired, but he wanted to check on Harry. He slowly trudged up the stairs to find the dorm door shut. Tentatively, he knocked. " Harry? Is it ok if I come in mate?" He heard shuffling from inside and then the door opened. Harry had obviously been crying, but had made an effort to hide it, so Ron made no mention of it. " Are you ok then? I mean, do you want to talk about it?"
Harry looked up at him with sad eyes. " I don't know what's going to happen, Ron. I can't have any of you there, I can't lose you." And then Harry did something Ron had never seen him do. He broke down sobbing at the thought of losing his friends.
Ron stood there awkwardly for a moment before coming to his senses and giving Harry a hug. Harry was in almost every sense, another of Ron's brothers. Losing him would devastate him. That was why he said what came next. " Nobody's going anywhere, and we wont lose you either, we are helping no matter what. Understand?" Harry nodded and they broke apart. Harry laughed and wiped at his eyes.
" Damn, I don't know why this keeps happening. I mean, maybe the day is nearing, when..when I face him, once and for all. But, in any case, I'm bloody tired, shall we turn in?" Harry said as he turned back to his four-post bed and pulled his shirt over his head. He turned and smirked at Ron, "How's Hermione doin'?"
Ron stood there for a moment, thinking of how to counter Harry's teasing that they had finally gotten together. He laughed, " Since when do you work out Mr. "I want to look like Malfoy"?" Harry gave him a questioning look as Ron pointed to Harry's toned mid-section. Harry just smiled.
"What are you jealous or something? You'd think Hermione would want you to have a Quidditch body too." Harry said as a pillow was thrown rather violently at his head. He laughed and grabbed another and threw it back in the direction of Ron's laughter. He smiled when he heard a grunt, knowing he had hit his target.
" Uhm, what exactly aren't you including us on?" came a voice from the doorway. The Irish accent immediately told Ron and Harry the Seamus was standing there. Accompanying him were dean and Neville, all of whom were smiling. As Neville stepped forward, a pillow was thrown at him making him shriek for a moment before sending another at Seamus, who ducked, causing it to hit Dean right in the face.
This all continued for about another 10 minutes before they got too tired. They all lay down and quickly fell asleep. Harry's sleep though, was to be plagued by a terrible dream.
Harry was in a graveyard. There was fog swirling eerily around each gravestone, giving Harry an uneasy feeling. Something wasn't right. To his left, a gravestone somehow caught his eye. He meandered his way over to it and bent down so he could read the engravement on the stone. When he read it, he gasped.
Here lies Ginerva Anne Weasley
1981-1997
Missed Daughter, and Sister.
Forever will her soul fly..
Harry felt his heart go numb, he couldn't see or think at all. He ran as fast as he could in the opposite direction. He ran as fast as he could until he ran into someone. Reluctantly, he looked up and saw a pair of glowing red eyes. The air rang with icy laughter as
Harry's scar seared with unimaginable pain as he woke up screaming. Sweat poured down his face as he remembered the gravestone. He got up and ran to the common room in the direction of the Girls Dormitory. His relationship with Ginny would end now.
A/N: HA HA HA HA HA HA! I am a maniacal genius! P.S. I refuse to tell you if that dream will be a reality, only that Harry will have a new love by the end of the story…MY FAVORITE SHIPPINGx8432345786345047! Much Love From, ELIZABETH SPARROW
