I do not own Harry Potter and please read the Note from Chapter 1

I do not own Harry Potter and please read the Note from Chapter 1. Ignorance is so NOT bliss.

All right, I have to address this and give Congrats to those who have reviews and messaged me with their theories on what I am doing. They have finally realized that there is and alternative to the whole idea of pairings for Harry.

So COOKIES TO ALL OF YOU! You finally read between the lines. If that sounds sarcastic, not meant to be, just couldn't think of better words. But I am Happy you DID figure it out.

Chapter 65

Belief

It has only been two days since the incident with Harry confronting her in her room, and Ginny was still upset about it. Harry has yet to come and see her again as he has done daily up until that point.

"I...I wish things had gone differently."

"Don't us all."

Hearing the familiar voice behind her, Ginny manages to turn around to find Hermione standing there with a kind smile on her features. Approaching the bed, the brown haired woman sits upon it beside her, "How's little Jamie."

The baby kicking as he hears the sound of his name, he lets his presence be known with a gentle one this time. Ginny giggling at the activity he gives within her belly, she becomes sorrowful only moments later. "Harry hate's me doesn't he?"

"No. Harry doesn't really have the capacity to hate. If he really did, I don't think he would have come back to help us." She responded softly. "Harry cares to much for us despite the past."

"Then maybe it's just me, or something." The youngest of the Weasely brood replied softly. "He treats me like I don't exist..."

Giving a small sigh, Hermione holds one of her dearest female friend's close. "You know that is not true. That fight the other day, should have told you that."

"That was even worse Hermione! He refuses to listen. I know he is not the same Harry I know that! But why won't he see I am not the same Ginny."

"Can you honestly blame him?" The older of the two said softly. "He lost his wife, his parents...he even almost lost Sirius and his freedom to the foolish of our own making." She whispered sadly. "The fact that Ron saw this before me had made me hate him and love him at the same time."

Hearing her friend's admittance, Ginny looks up at Hermione incredulously. "You have always loved Ron though."

"I know and I do...but I think I was not ready to change. I had always been the one who was right. Always been the one who was logical and observant."

"And he surpassed you."

"I wouldn't say that." Hermione giggled softly. "He is still Ron, but now there is another side to him. One that makes him better almost...he is willing to listen now more then ever. It and the meeting made me realized things have changed. And that despite my own belief...I had not..."

"Hermione?"

Reluctant to speak Hermione does so with calmness that belies the truth of her words. "I don't know how to explain this Ginny; I think you are in the same boat I was in."

"I don't understand."

"What we believe, is never what actually is." Hermione replied softly. "I was so determined to be the best, the brightest witch that as I grew I became that, but...where it counted. I was still the same Hermione. The same know it all, that Ron accused me of being our first year. The same girl who always had to be right, always had to correct everyone else..."

Ginny paled now as she sees where she sees Hermione is going. Hesitant to speak, she finds she can not even think of the proper words to continue.

"Ginny, you may know he has changed, and have realized that countless times. But as I thought about the fight and wishing that like you he would understand, Janey asked me something."

Has she always been in love with him?

Startled by those words, the red head tries to answer that she did not, but finds the words do not come. Her best friend as a girl shaking her head, smiles sadly as she gets up. "Ginny...I now see that Janey is right." She whispered. "Maybe if we had not done what we did years ago in falling for what Voldemort created, something may have happened between you both. But it is not meant to be. He does not love you."

"But...the baby...I'm his mother now."

"I know...we all do Ginny. Fleur tells us it would happen, because he is bonded to your spirit and core." Hermione responded softly. "But unlike the Wizarding world, you must remember that Harry has also lived in the Muggle. And Parents regardless of the children do not always love each other or even live together in it."

"No...He wouldn't do that. He would not take James away from me."

"He would not." Hermione replied quietly. "He remembers too much of needing his own mother as a little boy. Although you are not Gabrielle...although...it pains him to say it, and I can understand why it troubles him. But although you are not her, to James, you are his mother. He will not put you in Azkaban, and he will not bar you from his son's life once he is born Ginny. But do not expect him to give you his heart. It died, when she did..."

Denial in her eyes, Hermione stands to head out the door. A sad and almost pitying smile on her features as she looks back at her, "He knows you are a good person. He went to those people himself these last couple days and verified your words. But it still matters not...there is one person he will blame you for. Even if you did not actively do it, Gabrielle Delacourt-Potter is gone."

"So I should put up with how he treats me..." She said resignedly. "Like I am not even there..."

"No...I am not saying that. Next time he comes...tell him about James and anything he might say or do. Do not wait for Fleur to tell him. At least with James, you will be in his life and maybe with time. You can be his friend again, but do not try to win his heart...the ghost of her death and where you were at the time of it will forever come between you."

"And then...what should I do if everything has changed. I still care for him so much"

"I don't know but I can tell you this...he might understand you."

People...I was in a great mood when I wrote this tonight, because I had good things to come and that it would also settle some issues that I have constantly had hate mail or downright rude flamers about.

Checking my email just this last hour has about near me turned me off ever continuing on this site again. But as one said earlier and I agree with her. I do this for my own enjoyment, and my way of trying to express myself and my ideas. So I will continue but do read what I about to say

Newsflash once more. I AM WRITING THIS NOT YOU. If you want to write a different version your way. Go right ahead I do not bloody care. But you have to check it with the two previous authors mentioned in the note in chapter 1 that a lot of you are apparently forgetting to read or even remember now. So do me a favor, you don't like it DON'T read it
