Amazing idea by @yugyeomlove
Ginny's POV
I sighed as I put down my quill and reread the words I had written in my diary a month ago.
Dear Diary,
I'm happy for Harry. I'm happy he came out. But I'm kinda sad that he felt like he had to pretend to be straight. If I'd known, I'd never have asked him out.
I know now how forced into it he seemed. I didn't notice at the time.
The thing is, I still really like him. But he's into guys. It would be unfair to ask him out.
Because I know that he's gay. I know that it would be just plain ignorant to ask him if he wants to try again.
I don't know. I'm not going to do anything.

I skipped onto the next entries, each one shorter than the last. They were all about Harry, showing my rapidly changing mindset. For example, 15 days ago:
Dear Diary,
I mean what if he's bi? I'm not gonna assume he is but like WHAT IF?? I'd have a chance with him. I would. I don't know.

Then 10 days ago:

Dear Diary,
He got with the bleached blonde. MALFOY. Why?? Who would go out with that one?

5 days ago:
Dear Diary,
I need him. I want him back. And I'm not even doing anything.

Finally, today:
Dear Diary,
Desperate people do desperate things.

I found myself roaming the shelves of my brothers' shop. I finally stopped at the love potions. I took a deep breath and grabbed one, bringing it to the counter.

I sat silently in the Common Room with Harry. Finally, I got up.
"Mum sent me some Chocolate Frogs... want one?" I offered.
"Uh, yeah sure, thanks." he smiled.
I ran to the dorms, grabbed two Chocolate Frogs and the love potion. I opened one box and held the Frog down as I poured the potion over it. I closed the box and returned to the Common Room.
I handed the tampered-with box to Harry.
He thanked me and began eating.
After a few seconds, he looked at me. I looked into his eyes and knew it had worked.

Harry's POV
Ginny's BEAUTIFUL red hair flowed down her shoulders and her angelic eyes touched my gaze. I could feel myself going red.
She smirked and my heart skipped a beat. Those lips. Her lips are so... perfect. Everything about her is.
I opened my mouth to say something, but forgot how to speak. Instead, I reached out and touched her silky hair.
My mouth went dry. She didn't object.
"Can... can I try something?" I stuttered.
Her smirk grew. "Of course."
I moved towards her, with the intention of kissing her.
But I didn't make it before I heard a shout.
"BLOODY HELL, HARRY. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?"
Ginny and I turned at the same time to see Ron staring at us.
"Harry, you've a boyfriend!" he hissed, storming towards us.
"I do?" I asked.
He looked at me, confused. "Harry, how could you forget about Malfoy just like that? And my SISTER? Again?"
I shrugged. I picked up my Chocolate Frog and was about to take another bite when Ron stopped me.
"That doesn't smell right..." he murmured.
He took it from me and held it under his nose.
His eyes widened and then slit into a glare toward Ginny.
"Love potion." he spat.
I felt my head clear. I looked at Ginny. She returned a sheepish look.
I shook my head. I couldn't believe she's do something like that.
I turned and returned to my dorm, away from Ron giving out to Ginny.
I picked up a photo of Draco and I which Collin took for us.
I couldn't believe that I forgot about him like that. Even if it was a live potion, I've no excuse to forget such an amazing boyfriend.
