Chapter 6
Harry's POV
I was excited because our plan was about to be put into action. Hermione hadn't talked to Ron because she wanted him to make the first move. That was fair enough considering it is Ron. She also tried talking to Fred and George while Ginny and I listened just outside the kitchen.
"So Hermione, I think we know that you know what is up with Ginny."
"Sorry I didn't catch that."
Hermione was playing dumb just like we discussed.
"C'mon Hermione, we aren't stupid."
"Yeah, just tell us."
They asked questions about Ginny and that's also what we thought.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Ok so we know it has something to do with Harry."
That was where I heard I little gasp beside me. They knew more then we thought and that was a little unnerving. It didn't matter though, they were about to find out anyway.
"Fine, I'll tell you. Do you remember the time when Ginny had a major crush for Harry?"
Ginny blushed but I just smiled at her.
"Yeah yeah, continue."
"Well anyway, she told everyone that she got over him, but really she never did."
They gasped and Hermione just shook her head.
"In the last year Harry has finally realised that he likes Ginny."
"Well of course he likes Ginny, who wouldn't; everyone in the whole school likes Ginny."
They thought I just liked Ginny as a friend, boy were they wrong.
"No Fred, George, Harry really likes Ginny."
"You mean he like likes Ginny."
"Precisely what I mean."
Fred and George's faces went from expressionless to open eyed and shocked. Soon after that they were angry, very angry. It was more than angry it was…there wasn't a word to describe there anger. Ginny leaned over to me to whisper something in my ear.
"You'd better run, I'll see you later."
"But this was meant to work."
"It didn't, we will work something out. Go now!"
I ran but as I was running I heard Fred…or George I couldn't tell, yell very loudly.
"HARRY LIKES OUR LITTLE SISTER."
I ran faster.
"It's not like Ginny doesn't like him back. They're in love."
"OUR LITTLE SISTER IS IN LOVE!"
"HARRY!"
I was a goner but also I was a fast runner, so I ran. I was outside in the middle of some field when I stopped. I thought I would have to wait a long time until its safe enough to see Fred or George again. I wasn't looking forward to Ron's reaction because I just knew he wouldn't take it well. I could only hope that Hermione can be enticing enough to get him off his ass to make a move. Also that Fred and George don't overreact around people. That way I could be around people without breaking a nose or a couple of other bones. It was a long shot but I could only hope.
Ginny's POV
As soon as I heard Fred and George start shouting I couldn't control my anger. I made sure Harry was well outside and that he couldn't hear me. He was scared of Fred and George's anger but it was known that I had the worst Weasley temper. Harry of course didn't know that. I wrenched the door open being sure to slam it close. My fists were clenched and my jaw locked. Fred and George stopped mid sentence when they saw Hermione staring at me like she'd seen a ghost. Her face was white with fright and her eyes were wide. Fred and George were stiff and then they turned very slowly. I saw the pleading look in their eyes but nothing was going to stop the temper that was building up inside me.
"ARE YOU CRAZY? DO YOU TWO EVEN HAVE ANY BRAINS INSIDE YOUR SMALL INSIGNIFICANT THICK SKULLS? I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU WOULD ACT LIKE THAT. I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT. IT'S MY LIFE AND I WILL LIVE IT ANY WAY I WANT. HARRY IS FANTASTIC, MORE THAN FANTASTIC. HE REALLY CARES FOR ME. OBVIOUSLY THAT DOESN'T MATTER TO YOU BECAUSE ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS MAKING YOUR LITTLE SISTER'S LIFE MISERABLE. DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT WHAT I THINK? JUST BACK OFF OR I WILL TELL EVERYONE WHO WILL LISTEN ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED AT THE PARTY LAST WEEK!"
I had hit the jack pot but I had more. I had a whole lifetime of dirt on each of my brothers because I have a knack for stealth. Both of Fred and George's faces were like they had been slapped in the face. They were trying to think of a come back while my anger subsided, slightly. My breathing was shaky and my fists were still clenched. Then they answered.
"Ginny listen we just don't want you to get hurt."
Are they crazy, they are just digging their own grave?
"GET HURT! YOU DON'T WANT ME TO GET HURT? IT'S HARRY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT HERE; HE COULDN'T HURT ME IF HE TRIED. HE CARES, UNLIKE YOU!"
"GINNY, GIVE UP! YOU KNOW AS WELL AS WE DO THAT THE YEARS THAT YOU HAD A CRUSH ON HARRY HE HURT YOU EVERY TIME HE BRUSHED YOU OFF! YOU KNOW THAT!"
I gasped and my breath caught. There was a lump in my throat and tears were beginning to escape. I took a shaky breath in and closed my eyes. I saw Fred and George's pained expressions and I knew they didn't mean to but it still hurt. I turned to leave and George grabbed my arm to say sorry, but I stopped him.
"LEAVE ME ALONE!"
I stormed out of the room and turned toward the front door. All I wanted to do was be with Harry, talk to him and see his face again. I was unable.
"Ginny you're not going outside to see Harry."
"FRED DON'T YOU THINK YOU HAVE ONE ENOUGH!"
I decided not to push it so I ran up the stairs two at a time until I reached the landing where my bedroom was. I yanked the door open and let the tears fall.
Harry's POV
Once I had gotten to the middle of the meadow I stopped to think, something I hadn't done in awhile. If I had been thinking I would have bought Ginny with me so she wouldn't have to be around the twins and I could be alone with her. If I had been thinking I would never have even thought of telling the twins. If I had been thinking I would have seen Ginny as a joyful, exciting person when she first liked me. They way I saw her when she liked me was a little sister or a good friend. She was never really more because I was too preoccupied to even think of her as anything more. I had to think about Voldermort and becoming a wizard when I had grown up as a muggle It was hard but as I thought I knew things had changed. I knew that she was intelligent and amazingly beautiful, more than I deserve. If only I had thought things through I wouldn't be here.
One thing I definitely didn't regret was being with Ginny. Just thinking about her made me feel bubbly and tingly inside. I started pacing waiting for something to happen. I'm not exactly sure what I was waiting for, but I knew I was waiting. It could have been for Ginny, or Hermione to come out and tell me that I had been sentenced to death. I hoped it wasn't the second one. I wanted to know what happened but I knew that if I walked in the door now I wouldn't be walking any more.
The anxiety was killing me and I couldn't take anymore so I took the chance and started walking back toward the house. I stopped after a few meters and walked back to my meadow. I decided I should wait because my relationship with Ginny was at risk and I was a little intimidated. So I sat and waited and waited and waited…
Finally I could see Hermione walking slowly towards me. I stood up and ran toward her not wanting to wait any longer. She could see the anxious expression in my face and I could see her regret.
"I'm so sorry I put you through that Hermione."
"No its ok I didn't mind."
"So what happened?"
"Well it wasn't pretty but…"
"Where's Ginny?"
"She's in her room but Fred and George are standing at the entrance. She seems pretty upset."
All I could think about was tears rolling down her cheeks and I felt hollow. When she laughed, I laughed. When she cried, I cried. When she felt pain, I felt pain. We were connected and nothing could break the bond that had formed between us. I could only think about getting to her to comfort her and make her feel happy again.
I started running towards the house and Hermione was at my feet just behind. She started yelling at me.
"What are you going to do when you get inside? They'll pummel you."
"Climb through the window."
"How are you going to get up there, it's pretty high you know."
"Go to the door and go inside to open the window. If I fall I fall."
"Harry are you sure?"
"I have to get to her."
"Ok."
We went different ways with Hermione headed to the house and I went around the back. When I reached the back I looked for the best place to climb the wall. I had to get my footing and it was just as simple as boosting myself up a couple of stories. When I reached that conclusion I though about how stupid the idea was. It wasn't a good time to think though, Ginny needed me. I grabbed the closest wall I could and started to climb.
When I got to the window it was open and Ginny's tear stricken worried face was staring down at me. She helped me through and then I pulled her into a bone crushing hug. It was gentle but fierce. I put everything into the hug, all my love and care for Ginny. Hermione silently left while we just stood there hugging each other and loving each other.
