"I can't wait!" Ron said happily. Hermione sighed. "But of course I'll miss you Mione." He added. She laughed.

"Sure."

Today was the day Harry and Ron were leaving for a week, due to their Auror training.

"Do you ever stop eating?" Hermione asked as Ron was eating like a pig.

"I'm hungry!"

"You are always hungry Ronald." She sighed.

"So you come back saturday at noon?" I asked Harry.

"Yeah. Gonna miss me eh?" He joked.

"No waay!" I laughed.

He faked a frown. "You hurt me. Siriusly."

"Oh I would Neville dare."

"That would be Ron of you."

I laughed again.

"Wha' a'ouch 'e??" Ron asked.

"I'm sorry?" I asked.

"What about me?" He said more distinctly.

"Oh. Nothing important."

"Oh okay." He said before he began to eat again.

I was feeling weird. I wondered why.

"Ron, hurry up we have to go in ten minutes!" Harry hurried my brother.

Ten minutes? Already? I looked down at my plate, and then back at Harry. He was watching me. I just stared back. I didn't want him to leave. I sighed.

"Well even if you don't miss me, you'll have to play the game and be happy when I'll come back." He said smiling.

"Of course. I'm a really good actress." I said, my lips curving into a smile on their own.

He got up. I immediately stopped smiling.

He saw that and smiled. "Don't worry I'm only going to the common room."

I smiled a bit. "I'm coming with you." He raised his brows at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He said. "Ron be ready and at Mcgonagalls office in five minutes please!" Harry told Ron who was still eating.

I walked with him to the common room. He went to his dorm to take his trunk and came back carrying it two minutes later.

He stopped in front of me.

"Well..." he said.

"You'll come back in a week."

"5 and a half days." He corrected.

I nodded.

"You sure you won't miss me?" He asked playfully.

"Not the least." I lied smiling.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah completely."

"I say you'll miss me."

"I won't."

"You already miss me."

"Noooo."

"You'll miss me."

"No."

"A bit?"

"Noooo."

"A tiny bit?"

"...... maybe a tiny bit." I gave up.

"I knew it!!" He exclaimed.

I smiled.

"I have to go." He said, making me frown thoughtlessly.

He was about to say something when Ron stormed in and ran up the stairs. He got back one minute later with his trunk.

"I'M READY!!!!"

Hermione had just arrived in the room.

"Well bye Harry." She said hugging him tightly.

"Bye Hermione." He said returning the hug and kissing her on the cheek. I was a bit jealous, I couldn't help it. But I would never admit it.

Hermione was saying bye to Ron as I walked up to Harry.

"Well bye." I said awkwardly.

"Bye Ginny. You know it's only 5 days."

"That's quite long!" I said.

He laughed.

"Yeah I must agree. That's long." He said. I sighed. Our eyes met. His emerald green eyes were shining. That gave me courage. I hugged him. He instantly wrapped his arms around me. We broke apart and he kissed me softly on the forehead. It made me shiver.

"Come on Harry!" Ron said. Harry smiled at me and followed Ron.

"Bye Ginny!!" My brother yelled as he walked away.

"Bye Ron!!!" I yelled back.

And they walked out of the common room.

***

Hermione and I stayed together a lot that week. We were together in DADA as the guys weren't here. We ate together. We studied together. We talked a lot. She really loves my brother. I wonder how though.

She couldn't stop talking about him. She seemed to miss him a lot.

That Tuesday evening we had Quidditch practice. I was the captain when Harry wasn't here. At the end of the practise everyone changed. They had nearly all gone back to the castle when Dean took my arm.

"Good practise. You are really good." He said.

"Thanks. You are all good players." I replied.

"Yeah I guess."

There was an uncomfortable silence.

"I.. I was wondering... you know... as you are single... I mean... I always found you interesting... pretty..funny... I wondered ..would you go out with me ...?"

"Oh." I said. "I.. I don't know what to say."

Was I single? I didn't really felt single. I didn't fancy Dean. My mind was stuck on Harry. His wonderful emerald eyes, his raven messy hair, his cheeky smile, his sassy temperament and-

"Ginny??" Dean brought me back to reality.

"Huh? Oh. I...."

"You..?"

"I don't think I'll go out with you... I don't... I mean.. I don't feel the need to be in a relation ship right now.. I don't.. I.."

"It's Harry?"

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing. Then I'll just...go"

"Sorry... really.."

"Yeah." He said walking back to the castle. I sighed.

***

"How was it?" Hermione asked me as I came back to the common room that evening.

"Great!" I said with forced enthousiasm. She didn't buy it.

"Was it?"

"Yeah. It was ...."

"Tell me. Something happened?"

"Well... kinda.." She waited.

"Er.." I began.."You see Dean..?"

"Dean Thomas? Of course! Why?"

"You see.... he stayed after practise and.."

"He asked you out?!" She squealed.

"You know everything! How is it you know everything?"

"What did you say?" She went on, ignoring me. She seemed tensed.

"I said no!"

"Why?" She asked me though she seemed relieved.

"I don't like him and... I don't...I'm not.."

"You are not "available"?" She asked again.

I didn't reply. She was right. I didn't feel single at all. I only felt like... like I belonged with only one person in this whole world.

"Are you.... in love with someone?" She asked.

"Are you in love with Ron?" I said sarcastically.

"You love him!!! I knew it!!! Even memory loss can't change that!" She screamed like a fangirl.

"Who?" I said acting innocently.

"Harry of course."

"Of course not!!" I said far too quickly.

There was a huge silence between us.

A few minutes must have passed when I finally asked: "How do you know you love someone?"

She thought for a while.

"You just know it."
