ChronoCrescentFlames- You still get to see how Ginny finds Hermione :P

Sorry this one came late. I've been real busy with work. But here's the next chapter! I hope you guys like it.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Harry Potter's


Ginny sat frozen as Hermione ran away from her. She couldn't believe what was happening. She had just confessed her love to Hermione and she was going away from her. Does she think I'm just joking? Her hand drifted to her mouth. There's no way I'm faking these feelings though, my heart is beating so fast and that was the most amazing kiss I've had.

She heard a loud crack come from upstairs and her head jolted up to look at the ceiling. No... Way…Ginny jumped up and ran up the stairs. That just sounded like someone apparated. She burst into her room and frantically looked around. All of Hermione's things were gone and there was no sign of the girl either. She just left! Why? Ginny let out a frustrated sigh. Just as she thought they were getting somewhere, they seemed to have moved backwards. She didn't know how to find Hermione again now.

She had packed quickly after she had gotten her letter from Hermione a couple days ago, eager to come back and see if her feelings were true or not. The plans were perfect… or so she had thought. It took her all her guts to lean in and kiss Hermione the way she did. She had been so afraid of not being able to do it, or be repulsed by it but it had been the opposite. I probably enjoyed it way too much. Ginny had a half smile as she sat on her bed, reliving that moment with Hermione. I'll talk to Harry and Ron tomorrow. Ginny decided. They might have a way to find her; they're her best friends after all. She slowly got undressed and crawled under the covers. She couldn't believe what had happened and she just felt exhausted from everything. I'll definitely… Ginny's eyelids got heavy…find her… With that, Ginny fell asleep.

Ginny woke to sunlight streaming through her blinds and loud noises downstairs. Annoyed she threw back her covers to tell whoever it was the shut up. She had enough excitement yesterday and just wanted to laze around in bed for a little longer. As she opened the door, she realized it was her brother Ron speaking.

"Geez!" Ron said in a loud, almost triumphant voice. "She FINALLY got the hint and left. Now Ginny can come back home and not have to deal with that freak trying to hit on her." There was some shuffling and then Ginny heard Harry.

"Ron," he chided. "Is that the way to talk about your best friend?" Ginny began down the stairs, her temper getting the best of her. I can't believe Ron's talking about Hermione like that! Unacceptable. Even if I didn't return her feelings, she's still his best friend.

"No best friend of mine would hit on my sister." Ron said indignantly.

Ginny stormed the rest of the way down. "Oh yea, Ron?" She waved a careless hand at Harry. "In case you haven't noticed… your other best friend Harry hit on me." Ron and Harry both turned to look at Ginny shocked that she was back already. After processing what she had just said, Ron looked away sheepishly because she was right. Harry had hit on her and they had even dated for a while. There was nothing he could say to that.

"Oh," Ginny continued, peeved. "She never made a move, it was me!" She brushed past them, slightly bumping into her brother's shoulder but she didn't care. The smell of bacon and eggs were coming from the kitchen and she didn't want to deal with her idiotic brother anymore.

"W.. wha… uhh.." Ron spluttered as they both wordlessly followed Ginny. When they got to the kitchen, Ginny had already started eating with was resolutely ignoring Ron. Harry and Ron both filled their plates and sat across from Ginny.

"You figured it out then?" Harry asked Ginny with a small smile on his face. Ginny stopped eating and stared at her fork for a minute then shook her head.

"It's complicated right now." She started as she forked up a piece of egg. "And I think I need your help."

"Hang on," Ron said with his mouth full. "Can I get caught up here? Does Harry know something I don't?"

Ginny gave an annoyed sigh, "No, Ron, he doesn't." How can someone be so dense?

"Oh…" He shoved another mouthful of eggs in his mouth as he thought. "Why'd you say you were the one that made a move? You haven't seen her since that day, have you?"

Guess I'm just gonna tell them. I want their help to find Hermione anyways… "I made the first move. I came back last night when Hermione was still here."

Harry realized something must have happened then. "What happened?" He asked. Since Hermione had left, he had assumed that Ginny told her that she wasn't interested. However, Ginny just said that she made the first move.

"Well," Ginny started as she put down her fork. "I came back last night on purpose cause I knew she would still be here. I'd done some thinking over at Luna's and I thought that I might be interested in her in the same way." There was a choking sound coming from Ron but Ginny ignored it. "I wanted to come back and confirm it. Hermione kept thinking that I had the date wrong and thought she'd be gone already and wouldn't let me explain so I did something to get her attention."

Harry looked at her curiously. "Well..?" He inquired when Ginny fell silent.

She felt heat rise up to her face. This is getting more embarrassing than I thought… I'm basically talking to my ex and older brother about my love interest… "I.. Well, I…" Ugh! I'll just say it! "I kissed her!" Ginny blurted out in a rush, her blush now a dark shade of red.

There was silence for a while and Ginny fiddled with her fingers, uncomfortable. She kept her eyes on her hands until she couldn't take it anymore. "Well say something!" She demanded and locked eyes with Harry. She was surprised to see him smiling in a gentle way. Ginny glanced over at Ron and saw his mouth hanging open, some chewed egg still there. She grimaced and looked away from him.

"Let me guess," Harry started. "Hermione couldn't believe what happened… thinks you're joking with her, trying to make her feel better… and then decided to leave?" Ginny nodded miserably.

"Just when I thought we were taking steps forward, I feel like we've slid back and started where we were two weeks ago. I was actually wondering if you two knew where she went and if you guys could possibly help me find her." She trailed off. "I need to talk to her and let her know I wasn't just being nice or joking around with her, I really like her that way and last night's kiss confirmed it."

"She just sent a letter actually." Ron said, finally speaking up. "We just read it. It doesn't tell us where she is though… She just said that she's going to find her parents and see if she can get their memories back. Something about Paris… She didn't really say where in Paris though. It has to be in the muggle part of it though cause her parents are muggles." He shook his head. "I'm not sure how you're going to find one person in such a big city though… No idea, sis."

Ginny stared in shock at Ron. Is he trying to help me too? I thought he said it was wrong and disgusting? "Um, are you actually trying to help me, Ron?" She asked tentatively. "I thought you said…." She trailed off.

"Well," Ron said gruffly, "I thought it was disgusting and wrong... but if you return her feelings, I can't really stop you ya know? I mean… You're my sister and I still want what makes you happy in the end." He rubbed the back of his neck with his hand, embarrassed.

"Oh Ron!" Ginny jumped up and went over to him. I never thought he'd come around like this but I'm so grateful. She pulled Ron in for a tight hug causing him to turn red.

"Oooiii, don't do that," Ron said as he tried to pull out of her grasp as he turned an even deeper shade of red. With a huge smile, Ginny let go of Ron.

"That's all great but we're still not getting closer to finding Hermione you guys," Harry broke in, bringing silence to the room and they all began to brood. After a long while, he spoke up again. "Well, it doesn't seem like we're getting any ideas… sometimes thinking about something else will work."

Ginny nodded in agreement. "If any of us think of something then we'll talk." She got up to clear her plate.

"Harry and I were thinking of having a quidditch team get-together. What do you think, Ginny?" Ron started. "We can make it in like two weeks and hopefully you'll have found Hermione by then so you can bring her along."

That'd be nice… we should invite Luna too, she's been a big help to me and she's always supported Gryffindor in quidditch anyways. "Sure, what about Luna?"

"Yea, she should come." Harry voiced. "She's always supporting us even though it is in some odd ways. Besides, she helped you out these past two weeks." Ron and Ginny both nodded enthusiastically. The three of them were all smiles as they began to discuss plans for that day.

It wasn't till later that night when all three of them had cups of hot chocolate in their hands did Harry suddenly speak up.

"Hang on." He said, putting his drink on the coffee table and sitting up straight on the couch. "I might know how to find Hermione!" Ginny immediately tuned in.

"How?" She asked, excited.

"Alright," Harry began as he turned to Ron. "Remember when you left us in the woods because we got in a fight about the Horcuxes? You got mad at me and left?" Ron nodded, still oblivious. "Well, you found us again didn't you? Even though you had no idea where we had gone?"

Ron's face lit up. "Oh yea! The deluminator that Dumbledore gave me! That's how I found you guys the first time. I bet Ginny can use that to find Hermione this time too! Lemmie go grab it." With that, Ron jumped up and ran up the stairs two at a time.

Harry nodded in Ron's direction. "Aren't you glad he turned himself around?" He asked Ginny.

She nodded. "Yea, he's a good brother, even though he may be difficult at times." They heard Ron running back down the stairs.

"Here," Ron said, slightly panting. "Try it." He gave the deluminator to Ginny. She took the tiny thing in her hand and examined it. Please let this work… She clicked it and a ball of blue light floated up.

Her name was whispered from the ball and immediately Ginny knew it was Hermione's voice. Her face lit up. The ball floated towards her and into her chest. She shivered at the contact of the light. Once it disappeared, Ginny smiled. She knew where to go.

"It works!" She exclaimed. The two boys smiled.

"Go get packed then," Harry said. Ginny nodded and turned to run up the stairs. "Oh, and Ginny," he continued. She stopped and looked back. "She's probably in the muggle part of Paris so don't go apparating right to where she is. Go to the wizarding part of it and walk to find her from there."

She nodded in agreement before skipping up the stairs two at a time. Quickly, she tossed random things into a luggage, just eager to set out. She had also never been to Paris so it should be an interesting experience. Hermione will understand me after I see her, I'm sure of it. She's a brilliant person. After she finished, she dragged it downstairs to say bye to Ron and Harry.

After quick goodbyes because Ginny was eager to go, she walked a distance from the house before apparating. She was going to an inn in Paris that one of her many relatives used to go. The outside of the inn looked a little worn down but the inside seemed warm and inviting. She got a single room and went to prepare for bed. It was late and she wanted to get a good night's sleep before looking for Hermione tomorrow. She had learned now never to expect things to go your way so she wanted to have the energy for anything. Closing her eyes, she fell asleep with a smile on her face thinking about how she would see Hermione the next day.


Looks like she can find Hermione after all! We'll see how she gets about doing that next time.
