I Never Thought....

It Was a Mistake

It was the next day and Harry was sitting in the Gryffindor common room waiting for Ron and Hermione to come to breakfast. Ginny soon came in and sat right next to me, squishing me against the corner of the lounge. Every part of her body was pressed against mine, legs, hips and arms. She then placed her hand on my thigh which made me shuffle uncomfortably at the touch. I don't know why but her touch felt almost awkward...I've never felt anything like that with Ginny.

"Hey Harryyy" she cooed.

"Hi Ginny" I replied with slight annoyance in my voice.

"Can you please move your hand?" I asked politely.

"Y-You just spoke parseltongue..." Ginny said shocked.

"Sorry Ginny, I cant help it...it just happens" I sighed and rubbed my forehead in distress.

"It's okay" she smiled weakly.

She started to move her hand up my thigh but I instantly stood up before it got too far. I must of stood too quickly because she gave me a puzzled look.

"Is everything alright Harry?" She asked so innocently.

"Uh yeah, yeah everything's fine" I replied.

She sighed and and gently lifted herself off the lounge. The ginger haired girl walked over to me and grabbed both my hands.

"You can tell me anything Harry...ok?" She squeezes my hands tightly "I'll always be there for you"

"I know Ginny" I leaned in and lightly kissed her forehead.

Just as I did that Ron and Hermione walked into the room. Thank goodness I thought to myself, I just didn't feel like being around Ginny then. I know it may seem mean..rude but lately her touch makes me feel awkward and uncomfortable. I don't know what's going on with me, I thought as I sighed.

"Let's get to breakfast!" Ron said excitedly "I'm starving"

"Honestly Ronald, when arn't you hungry" Hermione rolled her eyes.

We all walked out of the common room and walked down the corridor. Ginny grabbed my hand as we were walking and I decided to hold her hand back. I mean I can't just ignore any sign of affection from Ginny, she is my girlfriend.

We walked into the Great Hall still holding hands and many eyes landed on us. I heard whistling and 'awws' coming from all directions. Ginny smiled uncontrollably but I just smiled weakly. We sat at the Gryffindor table and breakfast was served. Ron stuffed his face with food as usual while Ginny and Hermione gave him a disgusted look. I wasn't feeling very hungry so I decided not to eat, not that I ever eat anyway.

I looked around and saw Neville and Ron talking about mandrakes and scary they were considering they are plants. I looked further up the table to see Dean and Seamus chatting, probably about some stupid prank or joke. Then looking at the Ravenclaw table to see Luna talking to Cho Chang. She looked up and gave me a sweet smile which I returned. The Hufflepuff table was loud today, they were all laughing and enjoying themselves but then I saw an empty seat...Cedrics seat. God I missed him, we became really close during fourth year. When he died it felt like a part of me was torn in half and the pain I experienced, Merlin it was the worst I've ever felt. How can all the Hufflepuffs be laughing! Smiling! And even able to be decently happy after his death! It makes me so angry to think about it but then so upset.

Lastly I looked over to the Slytherin table and tried to make out some people through my blurry vision of tears forming. I can't cry right here, oh Merlin please no. I wiped away the forming tears and focused on the Slytherin table. I saw Nott and Goyle talking while Blaise, Pansy and Draco talked. I'm pretty sure Pansy and Malfoy are dating, I mean the way she looks at him. Honestly she's quite ugly in my opinion, large forehead, pug-like face and messy brown hair. Malfoy noticed me staring at Pansy and looked at me raising an eyebrow. My eyes were instantly drawn to Malfoy's and we held contact for a solid 7 seconds before he gave me a sly smirk. I did the same and I saw him go a tinge of pink. He then poked his tongue out at me and I knew exactly why he did that. He was mocking me from when I did it the other day. My smirk broke into more of a half smile and laugh. His cheeks grew an even darker shade of pink.
