Okay so I got tired of writing my first story and one of my friends inspired me to start this, who knows how long it'll last and such but enjoy:

Picking up the broken pieces; Psssst. Totalllly don't own HP or anything like thattt

"Aw, Herm, he loves me, more than a friend, how cuteee!" Ginny squealed to Hermione in Ginny's room where the two were trying to have a sleep over.

"Gin, he said that last time, then you two broke up and he spread awful rumors about you all over the school! Do you want that to happen again?"

Hermione looked meaningfully at Ginny who merely shrugged and began eagerly writing her letter to Dean.

Hermione sighed and slid her fingers around the sterling silver locket Ron had given to her on her birthday. "Do you really think he means what he says?"

Ginny looked up at Hermione and met her gaze for the first time. "Of, -of course I do, I kn-know he does." she stuttered uncertainly under Hermione's eyes.

"Ginny, if he breaks your heart I promise to be here to pick up the pieces, but with every man that breaks your heart, you lose a piece, eventually, if you keep this up, you wont have too many pieces to break."

Hermione gazed out the window and continued watching the waves of water roll in, she loved that the ministry was able to provide a nice house by the waves during the summer so Mr. Weasley could make it to the office farther from the house.

The moon light looked eerily upon Ginny's face as some one crossed the small lawn in the side of the house, he leaned down and picked up a handful of gravel and proceeded to throw individual pebbles up at the window and both girls crossed the room to open the window and see Dean waiting in the moon light.

"Ginny!" He called up as soft as possible; "I couldn't stand being away from you, please, come down and see me?"

Ginny looked over at Hermione who shrugged helplessly as Ginny nodded excitedly and threw on her robes over her pajamas and headed towards the door but Hermione restrained her; "Ginny your parents would kill you if you got caught sneaking out, now, shimmy down the wooden Rose gate on the side of the house, it's sturdy enough."

Ginny flung her arms around Hermione's neck in thanks and proceeded down towards Dean but was surprised when she saw Hermione tentatively hanging her legs out the window.

After landing safely on solid ground Ginny looked up and saw Hermione clinging to the side of the house, creeping towards a lit bedroom on the roof of the porch.

"What?" Hermione began defensively, "You can see your boyfriend and I can't see mine?"

Laughing at the reaction from Hermione, Ginny took one last glance at Hermione sneaking toward the now open window, she clasped hands with Dean and they walked off towards the beach.

"Dean, I'm so glad you came to see me tonight, I couldn't stand being away from you." Ginny looked up at Dean adoringly who returned it.

"Ginny, for a guy who loves you as much as I do, it was torture enough reading your letters, I could just see you writing by candle light and was torturing myself ever more by not letting myself see you."

She embraced him and before fifteen seconds had passed they were sitting on the soft sand snogging madly.

Finally surfacing, Ginny looked at her watch and leapt up panicking; "Its Two A.M!" She shrieked; "I left at midnight! We have to get back! Now!" She broke into a clumsy run, tripping over the hem over her robes constantly.

Finally reaching the light blue house she began to clamber up the wooden gate and into her bedroom.

Finally flinging her self onto her bedroom floor she reached over to pull the window shut she didn't notice two angry parents standing in her bedroom…
