Two Ginny's
"Hogwarts?" Said Hermione, frowning, "I thought we were never going back there…" she whispered.
"Well it makes sense… Voldemort felt about Hogwarts like I do, it was like his home. That's why he wanted a job there,"
"But Harry… Hogwarts is huge!" Said Ginny, "and I doubt the Marauder's map would have a room called 'Voldemort's Horcrux.'"
"That's the problem; I don't know where in Hogwarts it is…" He said shaking his head and pacing slightly. "So… if any of you have any ideas, say so," he finished facing them, Hermione frowned thinking,
"I have no idea!" She said chucking her hands up in frustration,
"Well we don't have to have the answer now, let's think about it after the wedding…" Said Harry frowning, they all nodded and departed. He rested his back against the wall looking down at the floor wishing it would give him the answers.
"'Arry? Are you alone?" Said Gabby coming in slowly and closing the door,
"What do you want?" He said, ruder than intended, again she pretended as if she didn't hear him.
"Zank God you are alone, I was sick of zat… girl with you all ze time," she said shaking her head,
"You mean Ginny… my girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend… perhaps, but I always zed I am prepared to 'ight for you!" She said walking slowly over to him.
"No!" Said Harry backing up, and holding his hands up, she grabbed them and pulled him closer. She was using all of her Veela-like powers to seduce him. Harry tried to let go but couldn't it was if he had to stay there. Gabrielle leaned in and kissed him, grasping him around the neck. He pushed her away,
"Don't come near me again!" He said pointing at her and closing the door, he leaned against it… he had just kissed Gabby, why? He pushed his black hair back in frustration,
"Ginny!" He called down the stairs.
"You… kissed her?" Said Ginny disgusted, they were in the garden again, darkness encasing them,
"She kissed me,"
"But you let her?"
"No! Well… she did then I pushed her away, would I be telling you if it meant something?" He said, desperate.
"I just… can't believe you let her in the first place," she said hurt,
"Ginny! I didn't want to! I told her I didn't, she is part Veela! What was I suppose to do?"
"Well not kiss her for one!" She said getting angry.
"Ginny! Don't! Do you think I would have told you I loved you if I didn't mean it? Do you think I would tell you that, then go kissing Gabrielle? You know I don't like her! I told you that," he said staring at her wide eyed, Ginny's face softened and she nodded,
"I'm sorry," she said quietly, hugging him,
"It's ok; just don't think that I like her… ever!"
"I know, I won't again," she said, resting her hand in his. He pulled her close kissing her passionately; she put a leg over him, sitting on his lap. He wrapped his arms around her, and they continued kissing Ginny's hands around his neck, they broke apart and Ginny got off him, holding his hand.
"I'm going inside. I love you," she said walking off blowing him a kiss. Harry stayed, until he could barely see his hand in front of his face, he just didn't want to see Gabby again.
When he went to the kitchen, there were only a few people at the table, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and Gabby,
"Where is everyone?" Asked Harry frowning,
"At parties; you know last night of freedom, and apparently 'we are too young,' even though we are of age!" Said Ron frowning, Mrs. Weasley came in, dressed up, and cherry red lipstick on her lips,
"You certainly are!"
"We are of age!" Said Ron loudly,
"I don't care!" She said shaking her head. "Now we are going to be gone until late, probably not till morning. So will you all be ok?" She said looking around at them all, Harry and Ginny took a nervous glance at Gabby, and then nodded. Mrs. Weasley smiled.
"Good, because I'd be going anyway," she said, walking around and giving everyone a kiss on the cheek, leaving lipstick marks on almost all of them, before rushing out of the room. Harry sat down nervously in between Ginny and Gabby, and grabbed a plate. It was the most silent dinner he had ever sat at. If Gabrielle hadn't been there they probably would've been talking, but because of her they were quiet. All there was was a clink of plates and occasional cough. Harry finished as quickly as he could; Gabby was staring at him every second moment. She slid her hand onto his thigh, and he jumped and quickly got up, and ran upstairs.
He sat on his bed, sighing, he heard the bathroom door slam, frowning he opened the bedroom door a crack. Peering down the hall to the bathroom, the door was firmly shut; he shrugged and closed his bedroom door again.
He collapsed on the bed, head on the pillow, staring at the ceiling. He did not know how long he had been lying there thinking about everything, everyone. He was convinced it was longer than half an hour. He heard the door open; he sat up as a reflex. Ginny entered, closing the door behind her, she had changed since dinner.
"Oh hey,"
"Hey Harry,"
"You changed?"
"Yeah the other thing I was wearing was too hot," she said shaking her head,
"Ah I see," He replied, Ginny walked towards Harry and kissed him hard. She put his hand through his hair. He put his hands around her waist and kissed passionately, there was something different about her; just by the way she was acting towards him, but he was convinced he was just being stupid.
She pushed him down on the bed and jumped on top of him, still kissing him. The door opened again, but Ginny didn't get off Harry. Harry looked in the direction of the door and saw Ginny walking in; he pushed the 'other,' Ginny off and got up. The Ginny at the door was standing shocked, eyes wide, a single tear sliding down her face. She was wearing the same thing she was wearing at dinner. Harry got up and looked at the Ginny he had just been kissing. She looked exactly the same as the Ginny at the door, but a single blonde streak was visible.
"No way…" he said looking at Gabby, he turned to Ginny; her eyes were now covered in tears, each falling to the floor gracefully,
"I trusted you!" She said,
"Ginny! I didn't know!"
"How couldn't you know who you were kissing?" She said loudly, wiping away a tear,
"Polyjuice potion!" He said pointing to Gabby who was now fully transformed back; she was looking very smug with herself.
"But you didn't know it wasn't me!"
"How could I know she looked exactly like you?"
"It's what's in here!" she yelled pointing at her heart, "not what is on the outside, it hurts me that you didn't know it wasn't me, even if she looked like me!" She said, Gabby laughed,
"LEAVE!" He yelled at Gabby, she continued to laugh,
"Don't worry, keep her. I'm leaving," she yelled, walking out the door,
"Ginny! Don't!" He yelled running after her, he heard the front door slam. Running down the stairs like there was no tomorrow, he burst open the front door and ran after Ginny. She was running down the dust road, hair blowing behind her, only visible by the light from the house. He bolted after her, but was soon unable to see her,
"Ginny!" He yelled, down the street, but no reply came. He continued to run, soon getting lost, he stood panting, hands on knees. He heard someone to his left make a sound,
"Ginny?" He said quietly,
"Lumos!" He yelled, his wand raised, a burst of light came to the tip. He pointed it at the trees, but there was nothing to be seen. He frowned, and walked behind the trees, he saw nothing, then,
"Hello Potter," someone said behind him, he turned,
"Snape?"
"Very good," he said rolling his eyes, his greasy black hair was longer than when he last saw him,
"What are you doing out here? Who are you looking for?" He said hands behind his back, Harry thought for a moment,
"No one,"
"You are a terrible liar Potter," He said, pulling out a wand from his pocket,
"Crucio!" He said with no effort as if saying 'windy day today.' Harry's knees buckled and he hit the floor, a bolt of pain shot through him. He almost wished he was dead, it was unbearable, he shut his eyes, and screamed, finally the spell ended and he stood up.
"Now, I will ask you again, who are you looking for?" Asked Snape, with an evil glint in his eye, Harry could tell he was trying to read his thoughts. He stared at the tree, not adverting his gaze and tried to shut his mind, trying not to think.
"Ahh, been practicing have we?" Said Snape with a slight smirk, "actually practicing, actually able to-,"
"Headoculous!" Screamed Harry, Snape dodged the curse,
"I seemed to have miss judged you," he said, and apparated. Harry stood there, staring at where Snape just was.
"Oh," said Ginny walking out from behind a tree, "I heard and saw everything, are you ok?" She said running over to him and hugging him,
"Yeah… I think so," he said, why was Snape there?
"I am so sorry, if it wasn't for me…"
"No… It's fine, now I know they are up to something," he said frowning. "We better go back to the house, it isn't safe here," they walked off in the direction of the Burrow, its lights gleaming. Ginny slipped her hand into his,
"I'm sorry,"
"Don't be, its fine. But I did notice something different about her… but I just thought it was just me being suspicious," he said frowning, Ginny nodded. They entered the Burrow, and opened the front door,
"HERMIONE! RON!" He yelled, they responded to his call,
"Harry what is it? We heard the front door slam," said Hermione coming out looking very worried,
"Snape, I saw him,"
"Here? The Burrow?" Said Ron now looking equally scared and eyeing the window suspiciously,
"Yeah, but I got lucky, he left after I tried to decapitate him," Said Harry,
"But what were they doing here?" Said Hermione,
"That's what I want to find out,"
"Probably spying on you," Said Ron raising his eyebrows, "Oh and did you see Gabby? She is laughing her head off in the lounge room," He said, Harry eyed Ginny.
"Anyway, I'm buggered, I think I'll go to bed, night everyone," said Harry walking up the stairs, eager to leave the conversation, he knew Ron would go bonkers if he knew he had kissed Gabby.
He lay under the sheets at eleven o'clock at night staring at the ceiling, not wanting to get up, not wanting to sleep just lying there. Ginny walked in, in her pyjamas. She sat on the bed, and Harry looked up,
"Hey,"
"Oh hey Harry, I thought you would be asleep."
"Nah can't sleep…" he said looking at the ceiling again. Ginny laughed and got on top of him,
"Hang on, are you really Ginny?" He said with a laugh,
"You tell me," she said and kissed him.
"Yeah, seem to be," he said and kissed her back, rubbing his hand through her hair. Ginny laughed and got off him, resting her head on his chest. She slid under the covers, and shut her eyes. Harry stared at the ceiling again, and shut his eyes, trying to fall asleep. It came eventually, with dreams filled with screaming and spells, like flashes, jumping, not being able to make out a clear picture. When he woke up, his scar was prickling.
