Sitting on her bed, her head laying on one hand, slouched and unhappy, Ginny sighed. She really loved Harry. Unfortunately, she was sure he liked Cho Chang.

Yeah, Cho is a really nice girl, Ginny thought, but really, Cedric just died, she shouldn't be trying to date someone else so soon!

She sniffed and tried not to cry all over again. This wasn't like her!
"Ugh,'' she muttered, wiping her eyes.

"Ginny?" someone asked. It was Hermione.

''Oh, hey, Mione,'' Ginny said, trying to sound nonchalant. It didn't work. Hermione narrowed her eyes.

''Don't call me that!" she said.

Ginny sighed as a few tears came to her eyes. Hermione, looking sympathetic, sat down on her bed.

''What's wrong?" she asked softly.

Ginny told her about Harry, and pretty soon she was sobbing on her shoulder. Hermione, who knew this wasn't like Ginny, not at all, was a little alarmed. She knre Ginny got little sleep these days and that probably added to it.
