Today was August 31st. Tomorrow Ginny and Hermione were going back to Hogwarts.
I woke up due to someone saying my name continuously. I saw a pretty girl with brown eyes and red hair-Ginny Weasley.
'Harry,wake up it's 11 already,'she said.
'Ah...,'I said.'Sorry.'
'It's okay.. Now I am making some cocoa for you. It's your favourite.'
'Thanks.' Ginny smiled and went downstairs.
I couldn't help but admit how pretty was. But it wasn't that I was looking for.
The reason I broke up with Ginny was that she... and Ron,now that I think of it,have never been able to separate me from the Boy Who Lived. But Hermione was different. She saw me as Harry-just Harry.
Ginny hadn't talked to Harry much since they had broken up. It did make Harry upset.
Ginny came upstairs with a tray of food and a mug filled with cocoa.
'Thanks,'I muttered. She smiled.
Halfway through my breakfast,Ginny said,'I'm sorry for giving you the cold shoulder. I thought that after the war..... Anyway it doesn't matter.'
'Ginny, the war changed all of us. I don't blame you for wanting to move forward. I do,too. I just...I'm not sure we're moving in the same direction.'
'How can you say that?'she exclaimed.'We want the same things,don't we?Love,family,home..And I think you don't want the cocoa.'
'Sorry,'I murmured.'Tastes great,.'
Ginny smiled,and in that moment,something changed.She looked beautiful,the sunlight shining on her face. I found myself questioning myself. I still loved Hermione, but she was with Ron(even though they agreed not to have a long-distance relationship).I virtually had no chance of winning her heart. And I liked Ginny. It could work.
'Harry?'
'Hmmm?'
'Why are you staring at me?'
I felt myself blush,and then cleared my throat.'You're right,Ginny. Why can't we make it work?'
'Harry,please don't say things like that if you don't mean it.'
'I do mean it,Ginny.'
'But,five seconds ago, you said-'
'Maybe it was just an excuse,or maybe my mind was working properly or something.'
I then kissed her softly. After a few soft kisses,I said,'But you're going back to Hogwarts,Ginny. How is it going to work?'
'It's called long distance,Harry. Ever heard of it?'
'Well...We could meet on Valentines Day.'
'You'll be my Valentine?'
'As long as I don't have to got to Madam Puddifoot's,then I'd be more than happy to be you Valentine,Miss Weasley.'
She smiled and kissed me on the cheek. I drank the rest of my cocoa and  went to my room. I never thought that I had mood swings,but it seemed that I did. I found myself smiling,my thoughts on Ginny.
-------
We officially announced about us being together the next day. Everyone was happy for us. I took some time for Ron to understand,but he did. Hermione,however,was different.
'When did this happen?'
'This morning.'
'Why didn't you tell me?And why are you with her in the first place? I thought you two were done.'
'I don't know why I didn't tell you,'I lied easily.'I am with her because I like her.'
'Why?'
'Why are you so upset?'I demanded.'Why can't you be happy about me?'
'Because I'm worried!'
'Why?'
'She's still in school. Do you really think you can try long distance?'
'We'll try.'
'It's difficult Harry.'
'How would you know? You haven't tried it. You were too scared!'
I realised my mistake immediately. Her face turned white,then red,and there were tears in her eyes.'Well,for your information,Harry Potter,I chose to end things with Ron because we are in the midst of a crucial year. Between his training and my schoolwork,and being ahead Girl on top of that,neither of us would have time to be in a relationship. So don't you dare assume that you know what I'm feeling.'
'And there it is.'I muttered. The proof that she still loves Ron.'Well,you know what,Hermione? Not everyone can live by your standards. Ginny and I are different,and we can believe we can make it work,so don't you dare assume what I'm feeling!'
'Fine! I won't.'
'Fine!'
'Fine!'
She then stormed out of the room. I sighed. I didn't like fighting with my friends,but,well,that's that. Exhausted,I climbed the stairs to my room,collapsed on my bed,and fell asleep.
