I really love reading reviews, they generally make me smile and, seeing as they all made me smile this time, I'm going to do a chapter with more of Harry.
In the middle, it's going to swap to harry's point of view. It will be after the second 'X'.
Please continue to Review :D

The Christmas term was long and difficult. Although we didn't actually sit any exams, we were given piles and piles of homework to be completed by the next day and stack and stack of revision. I suddenly found myself wondering how Harry had managed, seeing as he was going out with me at the time and spent so much time with me. He'd managed to pass every subject, according to my mum, all with Exceeds Expectations or better. I found myself stuck in the Gryffindor common room surrounded by piles and piles and piles of paper or books or small creatures such as mice that I was trying to teach to fly.
Eventually, snow started to pour down and cover the grounds in a white blanket. Our last lesson of our final day before the holidays was cancelled because we couldn't make it down to the Herbology greenhouses without being covered up to our waists in snow. I spent the hour packing, before walking down to the great hall and meeting Luna who was sat on the Ravenclaw table making another pair of earrings that resembled some sort of vegetable.
"Oh hello, pie?"
"No thanks I'm not hungry, do you know when we're getting the train back? People were saying we might be going tonight."
Luna shrugged happily "I don't know, we might be..."
I laughed "You're a lot of use, aren't you?"
She smiled up at me "I'm glad you think so."
"Personally, I think Luna Lovegood is rather, well, Looney." Said Emily Felton is the most superficial voice I'd heard for a long time.
"Shut up." I snapped "Just because you have to pretend to be something you're not for anyone to like you doesn't mean you have to take your jealousy out on people who can achieve that without a pot of foundation and a stupid laugh."
"Jealously? Really Weasley? Are you really going to talk about jealousy? Because I'd say you're more jealous of me than everybody in this entire school."
"Well first of all, that wouldn't be hard. But please explain why."
"Because I have got the one thing you want. I have got Harry Potter."
"I do not want-"
"Oh, but you do. Our relationship is so special that we can keep it going over the months I spend in this place. Yours just wasn't strong enough was it? He also tells me regularly that I'm the best sex he's ever had. Shame."
I grabbed my wand and sent about fifty hexes flying her way in the three seconds I had before I was grabbed and controlled. Her blue and silver tie tried to strangle her while her hair turned green, she sprouted hairs from her nose and ears, her nose grew to five times its normal size and giant bogey's attacked her.
"Miss Weasley!" McGonagall roared, stomping down between the two tables. "What on earth is going on?"
"She's a cow."
A flicker of amusement showed behind those steely eyes but she remained stern as she said 2Sit down while I sort out Miss Felton."
I heard the words 'Soon to be Mrs Potter' and stuck my fingers up at her before I rolled my eyes and walked away, sitting next to Colin Creevey.
"Hi Colin."
He looked at me and winked "Hey Gin."
"How's life?" I asked, dragging a plate of blueberry pie towards me and starting to eat despite the fact I wasn't hungry.
He shrugged "Not bad, not bad. I've had a job offer for summer depending on my NEWT results."
"Oh really?" I asked, "Where?"
"Junior Photographer at the Prophet." He said proudly.
I laughed "Sounds great."
"It's weird, isn't it...that we're leaving."
I nodded "I'll always remember you as that first year completely obsessed with the boy I hated..."
He grinned "And I will always remember you as that second year who punched me in the face after I suggested you admitted your feeling towards the boy you 'hated'."
I laughed, tapping his nose "Sorry about that."
He shrugged "Memories, eh?"
"Yeah." I said "Memories."
"And just so you know, I'd have you in bed any day over that Ravenclaw girl."
I laughed "Thanks, Colin."
He winked at me, making me feel somewhat better about myself.
X Harry's P.O.V now :)
Molly had received an Owl from Hogwarts telling her that the students were being sent home that evening due to the snow in Scotland. Somehow, I'd managed to get Fred to agree to take me along with him and bring me and Emily back, seen as I'd not seen her for a month. He'd said yes, so long as I didn't rub it in Ginny's face.
I'd been with Emily for about half a year, I couldn't remember the exact date. I'd bumped into her in Diagon Alley while I'd been waiting for Hermione and she'd asked me to go for a drink. One thing led to another and then we were 'going out'. I'd really started to like her, even though she was just an attempt to get over Ginny once I'd heard how well she was getting on with this Leo character over in Romania.
"Right, Potter." said Fred, as we climbed out of the Ford Anglia, into the cold December air. "No funny business in my car."
"It's not your car." I muttered "But whatever."
We were only waiting about ten minutes before the scarlet steam Engine pulled in and students started to pour out, keeping warm in scarves of Green, Yellow, Blue and Red.
I saw Emily first with a blue scarf wrapped tight around her neck, the bottom poking out of her navy coat revealing a 'Ravenclaw' badge.
She ran up, hugged me and then kissed my cheek before smiling at Fred. He wrinkled his nose and nodded curtly. I rolled my eyes.
"Come on Ginny, it's freezing, how long does it take – oh there she is!"
Ginny stepped off the train, her red hair wavy. She was wearing jeans with boots, a t-shirt and a thick Gryffindor jumper. She smiled and waved at Fred, before spotting me with my arm around Emily and frowning.
"What's she doing here?" She asked, her eyes flashing daringly at her brother.
"Emily's staying at Harry's for Christmas." Said Fred nervously, leading her out of the barrier.
"Oh happy holidays all round then." She snapped sarcastically, before climbing into the front seat and slamming the door hard.
Emily rolled her eyes before giving the car a dirty look and opening it with the sleeve of her jacket "Drama queen."
Personally, I thought that was a bit rich coming from the girl who refused to speak to me for a week because I forgot our 'one month anniversary'.
Fred climbed into the car with a forced smile on his face before setting off. We drove through the centre of London and came to stop on a small side street "Just going to pick up George." He said, before leaving the car quickly.
Ginny sighed heavily as the door shut and began to examine her nails. They were painted purple.
"How long is he going to be?" asked Emily, after fifteen minutes of awkward silence.
I shrugged "I don't know...have you had a good term?"
"No." She said pointedly.
"What about you, Ginny? Good term?"
Ginny turned around and looked at me like I was criminally insane "Not great."
"Oh." I said, and began to wind the window down – simply for something to do.
"Shut the window, I'm cold." Snapped Ginny.
I shrugged and wound it back up again, before turning to Emily who appeared to be shaking. "What's up?"
She shivered dramatically before saying "I'm, f-f-f-freezing, would you give me your j-j-j-jacket?"
Ginny rolled her eyes before turning to look out of the window. I glanced down at my thin jumper and looked at her coat.
"No, you're wearing a coat and I've only got this on. Then I'll be cold."
Ginny laughed.
"Something funny, Weasley?" Emily snapped, her face red.
Ginny smiled "Very."
"Do you want to tell me what?"
"Nope."
Emily began to say something but closed her mouth as the car boot slammed and George clambered in between us.
"Happy holidays guys. Blimey, the atmosphere is worse in here than it is when Fred farts."
Emily looked disgusted but I smiled "Can't be that bad."
And somewhere, somehow, a flicker of amusement showed on Ginny's face, before she retreated back into her stony silence.
We climbed out of the car and Ginny immediately grabbed her trunk and dragged it into the house. Fred winced and followed her as George flicked his wands and the cases disappeared.
"They're in your room, see you tomorrow."
I nodded "Bye."
And then we made our way inside.

Ginny's mood did not improve over the first few days of the holiday. It didn't help that Emily hated her and our families were constantly around each other.
The situation got even worse for me when Charlie and this Leo guy arrived with their cat. In my opinion Leo looked like a tramp. Ginny, who obviously didn't agree, threw her arms around him and took the cat telling him how much she'd missed them both. Charlie shook his head fondly and clapped me on the back.
I didn't get a word out of her until Christmas Eve. As always, we were having a Chinese meal at mine and we'd go to the Weasley's for Christmas dinner the next day. I was sat next to Emily Charlie. Ginny and Leo happened to be sat opposite us. Ginny was wearing a red dress that came to her thighs and was reasonably low, giving me quite a nice view whenever she leant over to reach the prawn crackers.
Emily saw me looking and huffed loudly. Ginny smiled sweetly at her before taking a bite of her sweet and sour chicken.
"Stop staring at her." Emily hissed.
"I'm not staring." I said calmly "Calm down."
"I will not calm down." She snapped, causing Sirius to actually stop eating and look up.
Ginny rolled her eyes and this appeared to be the final straw for my girlfriend. She stood up, slamming her napkin on the table and glared at the red-head opposite her.
"This is all your fault."
"Oh here we go." Sirius muttered gleefully, rubbing his hands together and nudging Bill "I've been looking forward to a good punch up between these two for ages."
"I bet you've been planning this, haven't you? You're so jealous that he's my boyfriend you just flirt with everyone to try and make him jealous. Well it's worked, he wants you and not me and that much is clear. But, it was true what I said about him telling me I was better in bed than you." She garbled, her face turning an un-attractive shade of scarlet.
I stared at her "I never said that! You asked me if you were better than her and I said I wasn't going to answer!"
Molly went to stand up but George pulled her back down saying "She can look after herself."
Ginny sighed "I don't care; I really, really, really couldn't give a rat's arse if he prefers you. He obviously doesn't care so why should I? I don't care enough to think that much about him, sweetie. Don't flatter yourself."
Hermione looked torn between amusement and disapproval as she stormed out of the house, slamming the kitchen door and disappearing in the snow.
"Well," Said my Mum, amusement dancing in her eyes "I've seen some exits from your many, many, girlfriends, Harry, but that one, that has got to be one of the top three."
Fleur laughed, balancing her hands on her large stomach "Do you remembeer, when ee', went out wiz zat girl from my school and ee' ended up wiz trifle in hee'z face?"
My Mum laughed but I frowned "Okay, okay, whenever you've finished. Do you think she's disaparated?" I asked nervously, peering outside.
"Well she's not just going to be stood out there is she?" Said my Dad sarcastically.
Sirius smiled "This is going to be such a great Christmas."
"Is it always like this here?" Leo asked, looking irritatingly joyful.
Ginny smiled at him, looking incredibly beautiful "Pretty much."
Later that evening, after I'd traced Emily down at her home and properly broken up with her, I walked up the stairs and opened my window, collapsing on my bed.
I heard a noise next door and saw Ginny through a lot of snow, sat on her windowsill. She smiled at me.
"I'm sorry about your girlfriend."
"Ex-girlfriend," I corrected "And no you're not, don't lie."
She laughed "Okay, I'm not sorry. Night Potter."
"Night Weasley." I said, shutting my window and closing my curtains, before falling into an incredibly deep sleep.
