Second Time Love (Completed)

Chapter 4: Ginny's In Love With You Too

Hermione woke early the next morning and found that she was the only one up, having made and drunk a mug of refreshing tea she made a decision, things were different now to the way she remembered them, she had changed the past and no longer knew what was going to happen so she would have to live like everyone else, taking each day as it comes.

She decided she would see Ginny today, early before anyone else was around, she knew of course that the Weasley matriarch would already be awake but she did not wish to talk to her yet so she could not just arrive unannounced, but she did need to talk to someone and she thought that she could trust Ginny because she wanted more or less the same thing as herself, Harry Potter happy.

So she would need to make her visit to Ginny and Ginny only.

It did not take long for Hermione to dress and apparate to the Burrow, nor did it take her long to find Ginny's bedroom window, she had slept in that room almost as much as she slept in her own bedroom and knew it well.

Using a levitating charm on her self Hermione rose slowly upward until she was level with Ginny's window. She was pleased to see that it was ajar just as it normally was, it was always open to allow in any owls that might visit, very handy she thought as she reached over and grabbed the frame. Pulling herself gently toward the open window she came to rest on the window sill, then having removed the levitating charm from her self she opened the window and climbed in.

Ginny Weasley woke with a shout when she realised someone was in her room, Hermione had already pre-empted any yell or cry that Ginny might make by placing a silencing charm on the room.

"Ginny shush, it's only me," Hermione said trying to calm the red head.

"Hermione? Hermione what the heck are you doing sneaking about my bedroom at… what time is it anyway?" Ginny hissed angrily.

"It's nearly six," Hermione said as she checked her watch.

"Tell me you mean six in the evening, tell me you are not actually here at six o clock in the morning," Ginny said irritated, she was never very good in the mornings and the earlier it was the worse she felt.

"Ok if that's what you want me to tell you, but it wouldn't be the truth," Hermione said chuckling at the red haired girl who was rubbing her eyes.

"Ok so what do you want at this ungodly hour during the holidays?" Ginny asked sitting up in her bed.

"What you said to me on the train, about not hurting Harry I mean, did you really mean it or not?" Hermione asked as she sat next to Ginny on the bed.

"Of course I meant it, why what's happened?" Ginny asked suddenly looking at Hermione suspiciously.

"You won't like what I have to say, but if you meant what you said then I will need your help to stop Harry being really hurt," Hermione told the young girl.

"I don't think I like this," Ginny said seriously "so spill it, who or what has you so sure Harry is going to be hurt."

Hermione told Ginny all about Ron's jealousy and his plot to keep Harry from being happy, how Ron had known how both she and Harry felt for each other, but instead of helping them he had tried to convince them both that the other wasn't interested, "he even tried to get me to fall for him just so he could gloat over it to Harry," she finished.
