Chapter 42 : Stupid Bickering
The two weeks without Ron and Harry were terribly long. When Harry wasn't there I felt like my life had no purpose. Like I was insignificant to the world, that my presence meant nothing. I felt like nothing. My smiles were all faked, my laughs were forced. The only place where I would feel right was in my bed, because it was the only moment when I could be myself without being judged for something that couldn't possibly be controlled. The only thing that kept me going was that I knew everything would be alright when Harry would come back.
The first time was horrible, because I wasn't prepared, but this time I knew it was going to happen. So I just acted as if I was okay. That was the best way to keep going, I guess.
However there were tiny moments when I would feel his presence through the bond, and for a few seconds my life would have a purpose. Those tiny moments were what kept me up. Otherwise I would probably have spent every minute of everyday hidden in my bed.
So when Harry came back, the world seemed to light up all of the sudden, and I smiled, and hugged him as if my life depended on him. Well, my life actually depended on him, and always will.
Months passed and April brought flowers back to our world, and the sun shone through the clouds, warming up the temperature up a bit.
The exams were coming close, and we found ourselves working most of the free time we had. If we were already working too much in April, what would it be like in June? I sighed, and put my book down. I looks around me. The common room was empty, except for a few seventh year and two fifth year, most people had gone to bed, as it was already 11:30 pm. I looked over at Harry who looked as if he was only seconds away from falling asleep, and smiled.
"I can't work anymore." I said, got up, and sat again, next to Harry this time.
He smiled. And we both waited.
"I'm going to bed. " Hermione smiled, kissed Ron, waved goodnight to us, and disapeard in the staircase that lead to the girls dorm.
"Yeah.. me too." Ron said, and got up too. "Goodnight you two."
"Night Ron."
Once Harry and I were completely alone in the common room, we did not wait.
I climbed on his lap and we finally had a moment for us.
This had been that way since we had got together -well together again, since we were together before I lost my memories.
The only moments that we would spend together were at midnight in the common room, in the room of requirement, or in a broom cupboard. So, actually like once a day at the best.
It was kinda horrible, being with Harry all day, without being able to hug him, kiss him, comfort him the way I would do if we were alone. That was painful.
I knew Harry suffered too. But he had wanted it to be that way. So that no one would want to hurt me. Stupid. It was already too late anyway. The death eaters already knew about the bond. And I knew he suffered even more about it.
We were getting passionate, and I couldn't stand it.
"Harry." I moaned.
"I'll be back in a second." He said, forcing himself to stop kissing me, got up quickly, and climbed the stairs to the boys dorm. He was back only 30 seconds later.
"Come here." He murmured.
I understood immediately and smiled, and hid under the cloack with him. "Clever, Potter."
"Surprised, aren't you?" He smirked.
"Oh shut up and hurry."
"Eager are we Weasley ?" He smiled, earning a slap on the arm from me.
We both ran down the corridors, and reached the room of requirement. As soon as we stepped in, our lips found each other's. It was such a perfect moment. A blissful moment.
But Harry and Ron had to go again in May. Only a week this time. I sighed and got up from the couch. Everytime they left, I would sit on the couch for half an hour and convince myself that I could do it. I knew I could do it, I was strong after all, wasn't I?
"Hey Ginny!" Hermione smiled at me, as she was stepping into the common room. "Going to the library, do you want to join me?"
"Er, no thanks, I have some catching up to do with, you know, some people. Have fun." I said the last bit with a smile, knowing that only Hermione was able to have fun in a library.
"Fine, join me whenever you want to." She said and walked towards the corridor.
I smiled to myself, and turned to Neville. He was playing exploding snap with Dean and Seamus on the sofa.
"Hey Neville!" I grinned.
"Hey Ginny!" He replied with a smile.
"Hey!" Dean and Seamus smiled.
"May I join you?" I asked.
"Yeah sure." Dean replied before any of the others could.
"So.." Seamus began. "Are you okay?"
I knew he was referring to my memory loss, and I just said happily. "Yeah! I'm actually great." Wow, such a lie, seeing that Harry was away, but I had been worse.
"It's great to see you smile." Dean smiled.
"Yeah it is." Neville agreed. "You wanna play?"
"Yeah." We paired up, and I was with Neville, against Dean and Seamus.
We were winning, because Neville and I are the beast team ever, and Dean wasn't that happy about it.
"I wanna pair up with Ginny now." He smiled.
"Hey! We never said we would change the teams! " Neville objected.
"Yeah I'm gonna stay with Neville. Don't be a sore loser!" I joked.
He actually chuckled, obviously not wanting to be annoying.
"Are you cheating seriously?" Seamus said as we won for the third time.
"No absolutely not." I smiled evily.
"I think you are." Dean said.
"You just don't wanna admit you lost."
"Three times." Neville added.
"Please come on Ginny pair up with me." Dean pleaded. Sore loser. I smiled.
"Nope." I said. I just didn't want to team up with him. It didn't feel right, and I couldn't tell why. With Neville, it was easy, he was my friend, but with him... it was so awkward for no reason. Well, no reason except that that asked me out, and I rejected him.
"Come on!" He frowned.
"No!"
"Ginny!"
"No!"
"Please!"
"No Dean!" He was seriously getting on my nerves.
He then smirked. "Please Gin."
That was it. "Don't call me Gin!" I snapped.
"Harry calls you Gin doesn't he?!"
"I already told you you're not Harry!" I said angrily, got up, and left.
I went outside. It was so stupid, to fight for things like that. We weren't ten anymore for Merlin's sake! But the way he said "Gin".. It just upset me. I just remembered the empty spot were Harry should be, and it made me angry that Dean had the nerves to use it against me. I mean.. even though no one except Ron and Hermione knew about us, everyone knew my heart was for Harry, and only for Harry. It was only now that I understood that he did that because he was jealous. Well.. whatever, I wasn't going to apologize. I may have reacted too fast, but he deserved it. Anyway, he didn't stand a chance against Harry.
"Harry.." I sighed as I stepped out of the castle.
Harry.
I sighed as I couldn't make the connection between us. I guess he was just busy.
I started to walk around, without even noticing it was dark already, and I was about to get back to the caslte when my heart skipped a beat. Someone had just grabbed me by the arms, and I felt a pain in my head as everything became black.
Eheh... couldn't end that story without a little action.
I guess there is only a few (like 5-6) chapters left.
