A/N - I do apologize for the time delay, procrastination got the better of me, It's now 2012 which means new years resolution and I'll try and post a chapter every other day, for this and for other stories. Not much Drarry here, and again on the next chapter. Sorry guys!
Harry awoke to the sound of crows and various other birds screeching outside the window, now he knew why Draco's family put the guests in this room. He bet they never got any of this noise in their rooms. Draco had told him to sleep in there the night before while he sorted his head and Ginny out because things weren't done with her. He stepped out of the room and looked along either way of the corridor looking to see if there were any signs of life. He continued on towards the kitchen where he could hear a faint clattering of pans and such. "Good morning Potter, how did you sleep? Draco placed bacon, sausage and eggs onto a plate in front of the Harry and ushered him to his seat.
"Well I slept fine but the natural alarm clock wasn't exactly pleasant. Thank you for the breakfast, are you not eating?" Harry asked, Draco smiled at the thought of someone taking care of him again, he didn't enjoy it but it was a strange feeling because his parents had become distant since the demise of their leader. "No, I ate earlier don't worry." Harry didn't know whether to believe him but took it for granted he was telling the truth, just as he was finishing his first rasher of perfectly crisped bacon a dumpy owl came flying at them, both having to duck to avoid being hit by the bird. The bird landed in front of Harry and dropped a small piece of parchment before taking off towards the open oven which was heating up ready for Draco to put the roast in, swiftly pushing the bird with a tea towel Draco directed it to the window before slamming it shut, "Who's god damn bird was that, for goodness sake look at the mess it's made." The blonde haired boy started cleaning the mess up while Harry sat and unrolled the small piece of parchment, reading it aloud "Harry, can we meet. My place, as soon as you can. Ginny" Draco stopped what he was doing, scared of the reaction he was going to see on Harry's face, what if he took her back, what if this was just a silly mistake, why had he gotten so far into this in such a little amount of time, this was so unlike the Draco Malfoy that everyone including himself knew. "You better go, don't worry I'm not going anywhere. Harry hadn't expected that to come from Draco's mouth. "I'll be back as soon as this is sorted, I love you and nothing will change that, I promise" and with that he placed a kiss on Draco's forehead and apparated to the Burrow.
"Took you long enough to get here, Malfoy keeping you up all night he?" Ginny must have been waiting because she was stood at the door, "You can't go inside, George wants to kill you, Ron's calmed down somewhat but I wouldn't try speaking to him anytime soon. Turn around; we'll walk through the fields so no one can bother us." Harry didn't bother responding because she'd just called his boyfriend by his surname and while her anger was understandable she could at least try and see what Harry was going through too. He just turned around and started walking, he didn't want to be here but he could hardly ignore her, she would have found him eventually. "Can I just apologize to you, I never meant to make a mess of anything, I did love you but you're more like a sister, I've known you for what feels like forever and I never ever meant to hurt you." Ginny stopped in her tracks, surprised he was apologizing, it was the last thing that she expected him to do, of course she knew he was sorry but she didn't expect him to do so, she didn't think it was necessary. "Harry, I'm sorry too, I loved you, for a while, it was more of a crush but I enjoyed the affection you showed me and I didn't ever want it to stop. I'm starting to understand what you and Draco have together; I think it's quite cute actually." It was Harry who was shocked this time, Ginny, the girl he'd just left for a guy was saying that his relationship with that same guy was cute. This was easier than Harry had expected, Like you said, it was a silly crush and we both took it too far because it was the only affection we'd been shown and how can we know what love is, we're still young, to be in love would be silly and immature at this age." The look on Ginny's face changed. Again she stopped, "Oh, so you were never in love with me, I did love you, I just didn't get as caught us as you thought I did. You know what, this was a mistake, I knew you'd say that it was a silly crush, I should have known, I'm too forgiving sometimes, I hate this, I'm always the one people leave, you and Dean Thomas. I think it'd be better if you left Harry. Go, now." Harry looked shocked, one minute she was saying that it was a crush and then she was saying that she was in love with him, he could see it starting again, whenever Harry or anyone for that matter said anything wrong Ginny turned on the waterworks and it was all about her, anything someone did had to involve her because if not she'd find some way of making it about her. "See, again you're turning tables, you're making this about you. This always happens."
Ginny swung her arm from as far back as she could, she slapped him as hard as she possibly could, with the greatest of regret because now her hand was stinging and she imagined the pain she was feeling was probably greater than the pain he was feeling. "How dare you, how could you even think about saying that. I never make it all about me, I'm sorry but you're just trying to hurt me now aren't you?" He looked at her as if she'd hacked his head off rather than just slapping him. He knew she was doing it again, making everything about her, but he wasn't leaving, not like this, he wanted them to end on better terms and this certainly wasn't the terms he was thinking of. "No, of course I'm not trying to hurt you but you have to understand that we were only ever close friends, you're like a sister to me but you showed me affection and like you, I enjoyed it and took it a little too far, you'll see that someday. I don't want this to be the end of our friendship Ginny."
Again the tears started flowing from both Harry and Ginny's eyes, she did look apologetic but there was still bitterness there. He held out his arms in the hope of a hug which she accepted. "I'm sorry for everything I've said, and the slap although I think that hurt me more than you, I should have known Malfoy would do this to me, I'm a Weasley and if there's one thing everyone knows is how the Malfoy's hate the Weasley's. I just can't believe that I let you go, how I let you leave me for him." Harry sighed, "There you go again. You're just making it all about how Draco has 'destroyed' your relationship, not ours. Ginny there were two people in the relationship, me and you, he didn't have it in for you in the slightest, and I think it'd be best if we just spoke by letter so the anger can't be reciprocated. Well, other than howlers, it's time to say goodbye to turning tables." She hugged him once more, "I hope that we can be friends someday Harry, see you soon." she looked at him, and he looked at her, he was the first to speak after a long silence, "I've got to go, sorry." With that Harry left Ginny standing there in the field.
