We all entered The Three Broomsticks. Hermione went up to order and we all sat down, waiting for her. No one spoke, it was a comfortable silence though. Draco decided to break the ice first.
"Hi everyone, look I know you don't really like me and all because I'm Slytherin and well I've kind of been a jerk to everyone but I want you to know that I really really like Hermione."
"Malfoy, just please don't break her heart." I said.
"I won't. I'm really happy when I'm around her."
"Well who would've ever though that Draco Malfoy would like a Gryffindor?" teased Harry laughing.
"Not my father, that's for sure." said Draco joining along.
We all kept the conversation light and happy. Everyone was laughing except for Ron.
"Ron what's your problem?" I asked elbowing him.
"Nothing, I'm fine." he grunted.
Hermione finally returned with butterbeer for everyone. The door opened and in walked Lavender.
"Oh Won-Won there you are! I've been looking all over for you. Oh have you been saving me a seat all this time?" she gasped and ran over to us.
"Oh." said Cho under her breath.
"What?" asked Harry.
"Look guys. especially Ron I'm really sorry but I just don't know what it is about her that I just really really hate....that was really rude, I'm so sorry! You guys are probably really close with her." she said biting her lip.
We all started laughing including Ron.
"No one here likes her!" I said gasping for breaths.
"But then why is he dating her?" she asked clearly confused. Oh right, she doesn't see the way he's looks at Hermione.
"Er well, no one's quite sure of that really." said Harry.
"He's a pretty weird kid." I stated.
Lavender took a seat next to him and started snogging him in front of us.
I covered my eyes.
"I'm melting!" I yelled.
"Ah I'm scarred! That's it! No more sleep for me I guess." said Harry as I laughed.
"Anyone wanna go for a walk?" I asked jumping up.
"I thought you'd never ask!" they all exclaimed. Draco ran to Hermione, Dean and Cho went wherever they went.
"So I guess it's just you and me?" asked Harry as I smiled.
"Let's go!" I said pushing him out the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How did we end up here?" I asked. It had been about 15 minutes since we left The Three Broomsticks.
"I'm not so sure. You know I always thought somehow we would....." he trailed off.
"We would what?"
"You know.... be together." he said sighing.
I smiled.
"I know but after that singing card I gave you, yeesh I still don't know why I did that, I knew it would never happen."
"But why?"
"Harry, you're my brother's best friend. He would kill us both. Plus we're not into each other that way. Right?"
"... right."
"See, plus what would Cho and Dean say about that?" I asked him. And that's when he stopped dead in his tracks.
"I don't think they would care." he whispered.
My smile slowly dropped as my eyes saw Cho and Dean in a small corner, kissing.
"Dean this is wrong." Yeah it is!
"We're in public." said Cho.
"We've never gotten caught before." said Dean as my heart cracked.
I picked up a rock and swung it at Dean's head.
"Ow." he said rubbing his head as my hands turned into fists. I don't care about Dean. I knew he would do this. But Cho? Poor girl was probably tricked into it but that doesn't matter. What matters is that Cho broke Harry's heart. And it killed me inside to see him like that.
Dean and Cho turned around. He pushed Cho away from him.
"Ginny, this isn't what it looks like." I rolled my eyes.
"Really?"
"Yes, it was only this one time. Please forgive me."
"It was only this one time you got caught. I knew you would do this Dean. But Cho? Come on."
She looked down in embarrassment. I took Harry's hand walked away.
"Let's go Harry they're not worth it." I said.
We kept holding hands. It wasn't a sign saying we liked each other and wanted to be with each other forever but it was really comforting in more than one way.
"Harry?" I asked him
"Hm?" He said distracted.
"Were you serious back there?"
"About us?" he asked.
"Erh well yeah."
"Kind of."
"Then why the hell would you break my heart by dating Cho?" I said hitting his arm as hard as I could as fast as I could.
"Ow, what are you saying Ginny? You don't even like me like that!" he exclaimed trying to shield himself from me.
I stopped and stared.
"You can't be serious!"
"Wait... you do?"
"Ugh boys are so stupid sometimes! I can't even believe that you are the one I just HAD to fall in love with!"
"In love? When did this happen?" he asked. If he asked one more stupid question.....
"Just let me think for a while Harry okay? Please leave me alone."
I raced back to Hogwarts and the first place I went to was the library. The person I was looking for had to be there. Unless she didn't come back yet. But with a little glimpse of hope concealed under all the pain and sadness and irritation, thanks to Dean and Harry I walked in. And seeing her there repaired my heart.
'Hermione!" I exclaimed to my best friend.
"Ginny hey!"
"Hermione." I said a bit more serious.
"What happened?" she asked me worried. She made room for me to sit which was really hard to do considering her books covered the entire area of the library.
I sighed.
"Dean cheated on me. For who knows how long!"
"Oh my goodness! With who?"
"With.. Cho."
"How dare they! I'm going to give them a piece of my mind!"
"No Hermione please don't.
"Oh please I punched Draco in our third year, I think I can handle Dean."
I laughed at her revelation.
"It's alright honestly. I think it even brought Harry and I closer."
"Wait like in THAT way?"
"No we're just friends."
"Yeah okay, I saw you guys holding hands. Like that's just friends." she spoke rolling her eyes.
"Well it's not like we can be more than friends with Ron around."
"YOU CAN BE SURE OF THAT!" said a familiar voice from behind a nearby bookshelf. I pulled two books apart to see Ron.
"You were spying on her?! Are you trying to get her to like you or be scared of you?!" his face matched the colour of his hair when I yelled at him.
"Oh shut it! I wasn't spying! I was ... doing a bit of light reading." he spoke while pointing to a book.
"Wait, you have a ring?"
"Lavender gave it to me."
"And you wore it?" I asked him biting my lip trying not to laugh.
"Well obviously! She's my girlfriend!" he said a bit too off and loud.
I smirked as I took the ring and stared at it. He reached for it back but I started to walk away.
"Hey come back here."
"Never!" I shouted running down the hallway.
"Give me the ring!" he yelled and I froze. The ring slipped from my finger as my body experienced a deja vu feeling. I felt paralyzed and my vision blurred.
I could hear the gears grinding in my brain as I saw another unfamiliar sight. Snape on grass with a ring. The ring seemed too familiar but I just couldn't put my finger on it. It was a feeling I didn't like at all. My mind was trying to tell me something.
And I didn't know what.
