Ginny Weasley slowly looked up through her window, sleepily watching the birds twitter through the yard near the back. She was thinking about a particular nast dream involving Harry fighting with Dean, for her of all things! Shaking it off she said to herself, "Ginny, you've got Dean, be happy for that at least!"

But a voice inside her head quietly whispered, "But I don't want Dean!"

Suddenly she remembered, Harry's here today! She rushed to make herself presentable, running a brush through her long, red hair, only to be stalled by her mum's pleas not to be left alone with Fleur, her brother's fiance'. But she decided Harry was a little more important than Fleur, or Phlegm, as she so lovingly called her.

She burst open the door to Fred and George's room to see Harry. Hermione, her brother Ron, and Harry were talking about a new teacher.

"Hi, you lot I just got away from her, she's really bothering Mum. She tried to make me stay down there, but I wanted to see if Harry was here!" she gushed as she looked at Harry.

"Hey Ginny, who are you talking about?" asked Harry, looking very confused. She figured he would be, not knowing she was there.

She was about to answer as Ron interrupted with, "It's Fleur Delacour, and she's not that bad!"

"I beg your pardon?" asked Hermione.

"I just mean...uh...er. Well we're all just going to have to get used to her," stammered Ron. Ginny felt really sorry for Ron, he was making it so... obvious.

"Oh we all know you love her, Ron!" teased Ginny,"Anyways, who's the new teacher at Hogwarts, Harry?"

"His name's Professor Slughorn, and if you'd like a quick summary on the man, he'a as fat as he is tall, and he only likes people who can give him a leg up at the Ministry," said Harry hastily, before Hermione and Ron could interject.

"Oh, that great, huh?" said Ginny, as Hermione was saying,"Oh, he doesn't sound that bad!"

At that moment, Mrs. Weasley burst in. "time to go kids, it's off to Diagon Alley to buy your books and things!"

They all ran to get their Hogwarts robes and pocket money, Ginny was extremely excited as she ws meeting Dean. After traveling to Diagon Alley by the Floo Network, she ran into Flourish and Blotts, quickly bought her books, gave them to her mum, then ran off to her brothers' shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes.

Once inside she found Hermione, wistfully looking at some love potions. Ginny snuck up behind Hermione and quietly whispered, "You really love Ron, don't you?"

"Wh-What?" Ginny, please, why would I like Ron of all boys?" said Hermione, though shakily.

"Get real Hermione," said Ginny.

"Oh fine ok, I do fancy him, alot really, but you absolutely cannot tell him," said Hermione, shaking.

"Hermione, if I would've told him, don't you think I would've done it before now?" look at Hermone,"It's been totally obvious."

She continued,"And you haven't told Harry I like him, and you're trying to help us together, although I have Dean."

As soon as this conversation was over, Harry and Ron slipped over.

"Ginny,come here,I found something I know you will love!" said Harry.

"Ok," said Ginny, as she took the hand Harry held out for her.

She though to herself," Eek! Ok, act civilized, not like that Harry-loving prat Romilda Vane."

"Look, Ginny, they're called Pygmy Puffs!" exclaimed Harry.

She ended up buying one, and it was dubbed Arnold by Harry. As everything was bought, she wandered over between Ron and Harry. AS everything was bought, she wandered over between Ron and Harry. They were talking about Quidditch.

"So, who's the new Captain, Ron?" asked Ginny.

"I am!" interjected Harry.

"Nice one, Harry!" gushed Ginny as she patted him on the shoulder. Harry gave her the biggest smile she'd seen from him in a while.

Out of nowhere she'd heard someone calling her name. She turned around to find Dean running towards her. She hadn't got to see him since term ended.

"Dean!" she screamed as she ran into his arms."I loved your last owl, the jokes kept me laughing all night!"

"Glad to know it," he said kissing her on the cheek,"But I wish it could've kept you laughing longer."

"I can't wait until tomorrow!"exclaimed Ginny.

"I'll see you at King's Cross, want to find a compartment with me tomorrow?" asked Dean.

"Sure, Dean meet you there!" said Ginny, running off to Mrs. Weasley and the rest of the family.

The night at the Burrow was rushed, but she was also thinking alot. "I've got a boyfriend, but I fancy Harry. I'm a horrible girlfriend, I've got to stop thinking about Harry. Dean. Not Harry. Harry... wait, no, Stop yourself Ginerva Weasley, Refrain..."AAHH!"

Hermione had come up behind her. "Ginny, you've got to help me, help me tell Ron I like him, like him ALOT," pleaded Hermione.

"Oi, does Miss Granger actually not have the answer to something?" teased Ginny.

"Really, Ginny, please help me, I'm not joking!" persisted Hermione.

"Really, Hermione, Ron is the one thing I could never give you the answer to." said Ginny.
