Harry waited for Ginny to come out of the kitchen. When Hermione saw Harry, she walked away from Ginny who had not yet seen Harry waiting for her. She was about to walk away too, but Harry made a grab for her hand.
"Ginny, tell me what's wrong, please," pleaded Harry. Ginny avoided his eyes. "I have been waiting for you to come back this Christmas. I hadn't stopped thinking about you if you were well, if you were sleeping nicely. I don't think I've done anything wrong so far. Please tell me what's wrong with you, Ginny," he said, as he softly held Ginny's hand in his.
You can have
Ginny lowered her head. "Don't give me all that nonsense." Harry was surprised to hear her sniff. He tried pulling her close to him, but Ginny wouldn't go near him. Still, Harry didn't let go of her hand. "You promised me you wouldn't hurt me," sobbed Ginny.
"How did I hurt you?" asked Harry, now alarmed at why Ginny was crying and he didn't understand why she was.
"You've finally figured it out, haven't you?" said Ginny. Harry waited for her to continue. "I guess last summer was just a passing for you. You were really trying to ease yourself and you used me. I wasn't in your plans when you decided to go to Ireland, was I? Seamus even knew it before I did. That summer was just meant to clear your mind off until you've gotten on the right track."
Harry raised his eyebrow. "What are you talking about, Ginny?" he asked.
"Don't play innocent with me, Harry. You know perfectly well what I am talking about," said Ginny a tear or two came to her eyes.
Harry relaxed and calmly pulled Ginny close to him. Ginny didn't restrain herself this time. Harry wrapped her arms around her and kissed her forehead, smiling. She looked at her, and with one hand, wiped her tears.
"I really have no idea what you're talking about but I'm guessing why Seamus knew about me before you did," whispered Harry. Ginny sobbed ever more. She leaned on Harry's chest, who was now smiling broadly. "Ginny, I've got a surprise for you this Christmas."
all that's left
"What is it?" asked Ginny. She stopped crying now. Everything seemed to be all right every time she is in Harry's arms. Her confusion and hurt seemed to flow away from her and she felt okay.
Harry lifted Ginny's chin so Ginny would look into his eye. "Since the last week of September, I've been playing for Ballycastle Bats. Their Seeker disappeared in one Quidditch game and they needed someone to replace him quickly. Three days before Fred was buried, I tried out for the team. They sent me a letter accepting me and I was hoping this would be my Christmas gift to you." Harry smiled at her. "I told you I'd have everything figured out soon."
Ginny couldn't believe her ears. She smiled and gave Harry a tight embrace. Harry pressed his lips against hers. Ginny drew closer to him. The moon shone brightly above them. The stars twinkled, seemingly happy to seem them under the moonlit sky, happy together.
