"I'm Just Me": A Ginny Weasley FanFic Book 1

Chapter 3

By the time Ginny woke up the next morning, Harry and her father had already left for the Ministry.

She sat down mext to Sirius and sighed.
"Already miss your true love I see." Sirius joked.

Ginny blinked.
"What the hell are you on about?" She asked.

"Harry." Sirius snorted, as if it were obvious. Well, it kind of was.

"True love? Exactly how old are you Sirius?" Ginny rolled her eyes, ignoring the bit about Harry.

"I take offense to that! Moony! Tell Ginny that I am a handsome young fellow!" Sirius said dramatically, clutching the right side of his chest.

"Your heart is on the other side of your chest." Ginny smirked.

"I knew that."

"Now, who told you Harry is my 'true love'?"

Sirius looked at Hermione giving himself away.

"HERMIONE JEAN GRANGER!" Ginny screamed.

Remus took a seat on the other side of Sirius and chuckled.

"It is NOT funny!" Ginny exclaimed.

"Kind of is, my love." Sirius reached over to grab some tea.

Before she could say something, two things happened: Harry and her father got back from the trial, and Errol the family owl had given Ginny a letter from one of her two best friends: Cora Anderson.
Dear Ginny,
Where the heck have you been sister? I have been giving you calls everyday. There is a reason Hermione bought you and everyone in your family iphones right? Anyway how is HP? Did he declare his love for you yet? Hmm no answer. That means YES! Did you swoon? I'm giving you a call this afternoon. To make sure your alive.
Love, Cora.

Ginny shook her head. Cora was a muggleborn witch and got on pretty well with Hermiome seeing as they could compare things they liked in the muggle world. She was also incredibly feisty and loved to speak her mind without a care in the world.

And it was true Hermione bought them all phones at the beginning of summer. To keep in touch, as where Hermione lived with her parents, owls where pretty uncommon.

Ginny looked up at Harry who was positively glowing.

Harry glanced at her.

She gave him a smile and whispered a quiet "congratulations."

"Thanks." Harry said in a regular tone of voice.
Everyone glanced at them.

She ducked her head and finished breakfast.

Upstairs in her room, she had just gotten up when her phone rang with the first lyrics to the song 'Sit Still Look Pretty.

She grinned and picked it up.
Instead if Cora though, this was Rose.
She heard Rose's sweet voice come over. Of their friendship group, Rose was definitely the calm sensible one.
"Hi Lau! How are you?" Asked Ginny.

Rose smiled. Her real name was Laura Rose, but she went by Rose and Ginny and Cora called her Lau.

"Nevermind about me, Cora says you FINALLY got HP. That's why she's been calling you for the last decade and a half. Why didn't you tell me?" Rose questioned.

"Oh come on dirt for brains! Do you really think Harr- I mean HP and I have a chance? Get real. He's more likely to kiss Hermione before that happens." Laughed Ginny.

Her heart broke just a little bit knowing that Harry didn't like her like that.
And Rose knew this, so she steered the conversation from Harry to other things like their friends and enemies.

While Ginny was chatting with Rose, she didn't notice Harry standing right outside her door, listening to her conversation.
And Ginny, totally oblivious to the fact her crush knew her secret, went on chatting with Lau without a care in the world. The next time they would see each other was in The Hogwarts Express. She hing up the phone and heard the creak of floor boards outside the room. Her eyes widened. What if the twins knew her secret now. Or Ron. She went outside the door and looked hard. She didn't see anyone. Not even Harry. Little did she know that she was staring him right in the face.

Whoops. I guess Harry heard a bit too much. I will give you more info tomorrow or the day after
Xx Clara
