I Just Need Space

Ginny's POV

I was taking the stairs slowly. I had been asked out...I think. I'm not really sure. I...I had to do something with Harry though. He didn't deserve to be cheated on. But I didn't feel that way for him. I turned and smashed into Hermione. "Oh gosh, I'm so sorry, I..." She grabbed me and gave me a big hug. "I'm sorry Gin. if there's something going on, then it's not my place to get mad at you about it." I smiled against her shoulder. "Ok...I need your help." She looked up and pulled away. "Whatever it is, I'll do it." I sighed and replied. "I need to breakup with Harry. it sounds really jerky and it sounds like I'm a player, but he doesn't deserve to love someone and them not to feel the same way." Mione was surprised at first but then looked down and nodded her head. "I'll owl him. I'm good at wording." Mione said in a depressed tone. I nodded and followed her into the dorm. She sat on one of the armchairs and started writing in cursive. Almost a replica to mine. I realized she was righting it to look like my hand writing. I read over her shoulder. After about a minute she had finished. She folded it into a swan. And charmed it to go to Harry. Then we waited.

Harry's POV

I was still eating with Ron. I was a little jealous. Malfoy got Ginny's attention by the slightest look. While I practically had to beg her to kiss me. It's like...she liked him instead. But that would've been stupid. Malfoy was and still is and soulless Death Eater. I was then impaled with a razor sharp swan. It was just like in third year. I expected it to be from Malfoy. But when I opened it, it simply said

Hey Harry.

Meet me in the common room when you get a chance. I really have to talk to you.

-Gin

A million questions passed through my head. Why has she asked that? Her writing was slightly more slanted than usual. Maybe she was in a rush. What if Malfoy captured her?! Or worse...what if she's already gone? I rose from my seat and Ron looked up too. "Dinners not even half over! If your upset over Ginny...I'm sure she's fine." Then he went back to his chicken leg. I shrugged and shook my head, but didn't stop walking.

Ginnys POV

I was pacing the room..."Okay, Mione. Be Harry. I need to practice." Hermione laughed. "Your mental," but did as I asked. I started hesitantly. "Hey...Harry. No. No, no, no. That just sounds stupid. Too lazy. I'm about to break his heart!" Mione sighed. "Do I need to write you a script? Here just say something along these lines. 'Harry. You're amazing. I used to be in love with your smile and your just...being. But now...it's not the same. We barely have any classes with each other and...I just...I don't think I can handle a relationship right now." I started to clap. Mione fake bowed. But I was seriously thinking about showing that speech to professor Mcgonagall. "Okay...mind saying all that again? I wasn't writing any of it down." Mione literally almost slapped me. "Pay attention! I'm trying to help you in life and your sitting there daydreaming!" Then she sighed and tried again. "Ok. all you need to do is explain that you don't want any relationships." I nodded slowly. "Okay...okay I got this." I really didn't have time to think if I did or not, because Harry came rushing into the room wand raised. "Is anyone captured?! Hurt? DEAD?!" Hermione just groaned. "Yes, Harry. We are both dead. Does that make you calm down any?" He then looked confused. "You are?" Hermione actually slapped him. "No! You thick git. If we were dead why would we be talking? You really should know this my now. Haven't you real 'Ghosts and The After Life'? He just shook his head. "Of course not! I don't read about dead stuff." Mione just slowly hit her head against her textbook. "Harry...the after life isn't...you know what? Never mind. Bye." And she walked briskly into the dorms. Leaving me and Harry alone. "So..." he said. "I'm glad your not dead." I laughed. But it was forced. "Yeah. Me, too." I looked at the ground. I usually remembered stuff quite well but my mind was blank. So. I made up stuff. As I naturally did. "Look Harry. I really don't want a relationship anymore. I need a break. And I want to not have to deal with that responsibility. I hope you understand!!!" I said, so rushed I couldn't understand myself. Harry looked confused. "I couldn't hear you. It almost sounded like a break up. But you were speaking too fast." Really Harry? The floor was suddenly very interesting. "...That's-what I-well that's what I sorta said." I glanced up. He had tears in he corner of his eyes. I cursed. I hated making people cry. "Harry. Don't cry. Please? Or you'll make me cry too just..." he looked away. "Ginny, can we talk about this? I'll do better. Take you out more..." I stopped him. "No Harry. I'm so sorry. But...i just need some space. From...everyone." And I actually told the truth. Me and Draco were just friends. I didn't do this just to be free for him. I wanted to have space, have time. To just be friends. Right?
