Ginevra Molly Weasley was laying down in the soft green grass by the lake, staring up at the blue sky, trying to decipher shapes in the clouds when a shadow came over her. She glanced to see whom the shadow belonged to. She smiled and sat up.

"Hi Harry."

"Hey Ginny." he sat down next to her. "What brings you over here?"

"Just cloud gazing." she stated flatly. He nodded.

"I'm glad that you decided to stay this last year. With Dumbledore gone and all." Harry's eyes flicked toward her harshly.

"I'm sorry." Ginny bit her lip.

There were a few moment's of silence before Ginny spoke again. She placed a hand on his shoulder, and leaned on him.

"Last year was very interesting wasn't it?" she mumbled into his shoulder.

"Yea..." he said.

"Since you said you were going to leave, I was sad...but now that you're here. I don't know...maybe we can continue what we started?"

Nothing came from Harry.

"I know that you're going through a difficult time, Harry, but it would be easier for us to stick together through this-"

"No it won't!" Harry bursted out, now standing. Ginny scooted back a bit. "All I will do is get you hurt! I'm better off alone, can't you understand!" By this time tears were trying to escape Ginny's eyes, and Harry stopped.

"I love you." she managed to say.

"Love is just an excuse to get hurt." Harry said fiercely.

Ginny stood up, tears now streaming down her face. She looked at him with fury and frusteration, "Sure love has a few bumps and bruises but you know I'd be there for you. My love for you is too strong to get me hurt." Harry just looked away, with no reply. Ginny continued, sobbing, "But no matter what I do, it's never good enough for you. So the hell with you, Harry Potter." She stormed off, running towards the castle, leaving Harry to his thoughts. She was passing the Entrance Hall when she ran into someone.

"Sorry." she muttered.

"Wait." the person told her; she complied. It was Hermione.

"What's wrong, Gin?" Hermione placed a hand on Ginny's back.

"Nothing." Ginny stated.

"I think I know you enough to know something's wrong."

"Nothing is wrong!" Ginny shouted.

"Right. I'll leave your problems to your own solving." she turned on her heel and started to walk away. "Oh," she stopped, and turned back toward Ginny, "Have you seen Harry?"

Ginny scoffed and replied, "Harry who?" before she started on her way to Gryffindor Tower
