Confused Feelings

Author's note: Okay so second chapter. I'm still not sure if this is any good. Please keep reviewing! And by reviewing I do mean bad ones too, if you want. Enjoy!

"Hi Harry, Ron, Hermione." Ginny said, taking a seat across from Harry at the table and picking up a piece of toast. It was about a week after McGonagall had made the announcement about the Christmas Ball.

"Hi Ginny!" Hermione said, "So, who are you going with to the Christmas Ball?"

"Well, actually, Seamus Finnigan asked me this morning. And he's told me Dean Thomas is fixing to ask you." Ginny answered, blushing slightly.

"Never liked Seamus much, or Dean." Ron muttered, and Harry was surprised to find himself completely agreeing with him. He suddenly felt a deep hatred toward both Seamus and Dean. It must just be protectiveness toward Ginny and Hermione, who were both like sisters to him. Yes, that must be it. Protectiveness. That's it.

"So Hermione, are you going to say yes?" Ginny asked.

"I don't know. There is kind of someone else I was hoping would ask me…" Hermione replied, looking shyly at Harry, who was glaring down the table at Dean and Seamus.

Ginny snuck a quick glance at Harry too, before turning to Ron. "Well I suppose you'll be going with Lavender? Can't imagine how she'd react if she had to be away from her "Won Won" for too long."

"Well, yeah, I guess I will be going with her." Ron said, not sounding too excited, while looking at Hermione, who was still looking at Harry, who was looking from the Ravenclaw table (particularly Luna) to Hermione and Ginny, who was looking from Seamus to Harry with a conflicted look on her face.

"Hi Harry. How are you doing?" came a familiar voice from behind them. Cho Chang was walking past.

Harry turned around, and felt his stomach drop and his face get hot. "Cho, um, hi. I'm good. How are you?" Cho Chang was one of the prettiest girls he had ever met. She smiled at him, and he knew his face was bright red.

"I'm, um, well I'm fine. Well I suppose I'll see you later. Bye, Harry." Cho turned and joined her friends, who looked back at Harry, giggled, and whispered to each other.

"Well it's time to go to Charms. Come on Harry, we don't want to be late." Hermione said. She grabbed Harry's arm and practically dragged him to professor Flitwick's classroom.

"Oi, mate that was rough. She just screamed, and screamed. And cried, there was a lot of crying." Ron was telling Harry about his breakup with Lavender.

"Well guess you better find someone else to go to the Ball with, mate. Its two and a half weeks away. But we don't have time to worry about that now. We've got a quidditch match to win. Let's go." Harry said.

Harry soared high above the game, looking for the snitch. He was circling around, and he thought he had spotted it, but then he realized that the bit of gold he had seen was just the sun glinting off of Ginny's hair as she soared through the air, trying to get the quaffle. Who was he kidding? His anger at Seamus went way deeper than just the over protectiveness of someone he felt was like a little sister to him. He was thinking about what to do when Malfoy nearly slammed into him screaming "Think fast, Potter!"

"You bloody git! Malfoy!" Harry bellowed as Malfoy flew away, laughing like an idiot. Suddenly, Harry saw the snitch, and Malfoy was too busy laughing to notice. He turned and sped directly toward the ground, hand already stretched out toward the tiny gold ball.

"GO HARRY!!!!!!!!!" Harry heard a scream from above him. He looked up to see Ginny cheering him on from up by the goal posts. He smiled, then looked directly to her right, and saw Hermione in the stands, screaming his name. Harry thought she looked very pretty, her eyes were shining, and her cheeks were pink from the cold. Then he saw Luna and Cho sitting next to her. All three were cheering him on and waving. Harry waved his outstretched hand at them, and it was only by luck that he fell forward, and grabbed the snitch.
