"Thanks for caring, Ginny."
"It's my job," Ginny said, smiling. Hermione was glad that she had one friend who was still looking out for her.
Mon Histoire (On My Own)
Hermione barley got though the day. Knowing that Ginny would be there for her, even with her being with Dean, helped Hermione though. After her last class, DADA, she headed to her spot in the library to work on her homework.
"I'm glad they always have the radio on in here. It is relaxing," Hermione thought. Then she heard a song she recognized….
And now I'm all alone again
Nowhere to go no one to turn to,
Did not want your money sir
I came out here coz i was told to
And now the night is near
Now I can make believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night
When everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy
With the company I'm keeping
The city goes to bed
And I can live inside my head.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone, I walk with him till morning
Without him
I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way I close my eyes
And he has found me
In the rain the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me for ever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say, there's a way for us
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
I love him
But every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me his world will go on turning
A world that's full of happiness
That I have never known!
I love him
I love him
I love him
But only on my own.
That was On My Own, from the London Original Cast of the hit musical Les Miserable. Stay tuned in for more classic musicals.
"I love that song. It always made me cry. And now is now different," Hermione said to herself as she sobbed. "I hope that no one is listening to me. I feel so silly, talking to myself like this," Hermione forced a giggle, and opened her book to start working.
"Hey, Hermione. Do you want to tell me what was wrong now?"
"Ginny, it doesn't concern you. I can take care of myself."
"I know you can. I'm here to help, really I am."
"Ginny, just leave me alone. Please."
"I won't stop worrying, Hermione. When you are ready to talk to me, tell me, you know where to find me."
"Thanks Ginny. That means a lot," Ginny smiled, and went back to the table where she had told Dean to wait. Dean, completely unaware that Hermione was upset, wrapped his arm around Ginny and played with her hair as they walk out of the library, and onto the grounds where there was a secluded bench. Dean leaned in to kiss Ginny. She let him kiss her, but did not kiss him back.
"What's wrong, baby?" asked Dean. He may be an idiot, but he knew that something was wrong with Ginny. She only didn't kiss him back if she was distracted.
"Nothing is wrong," Ginny lied. She couldn't stop thinking about Hermione. "I'm just not in the mood I guess," Only then did she see Harry walk by, with Cho on his arm. She heard his laugh and remembered why she had said yes to Dean in the first place. Ginny still loved Harry, more then she could say, but since he seemed to be head over heals for Cho, Ginny had no hope. Dean had been there. He is always there. Even then, he looked concerned into her deep, blue eyes (A/N: I think her eyes are blue, and I am too lazy to look. Tell me if I am wrong.) with his arm around her shoulder, gently rubbing her back.
"I have some work to do. I'm sorry Dean, I really have to go."
"I can walk back with you. I have some work to do too, I'll come with you and sit with you," Ginny forced a smile. She really wanted to be alone.
"That is sweet, but I really want to be alone."
"Are you breaking up with me?"
"No, I just want to be alone. Can't I want to be alone once and a while?"
"Don't you want to spend time with me?"
"DEAN!!! I don't want to spend every waking minute with you. If you can't understand that, then maybe we should break up," Ginny was surprised at herself. She had wanted to break up with Dean for a while, but had never been able to.
"Fine, if that is what you want, I don't care. You can find your way back to the common room. Bye."
"B-" He was gone before Ginny could finish.
Thanks for letting me know that I have readers. Same deal, five reviews and I will update. Give me some time after the five though. I have to write the chapter also.
