Chapter Fifty - Three (Part Two)
Ginny wandered up and down the carriages thinking it over, she couldn’t have Dean in her life, he wasn’t right for them, he would get under there skin and annoy them and say all those cruel things he had said just over a week ago. ‘… He doesn’t love you, not like I do’. She shook her head and kept going,
“Ginny” She turned at the voice,
“Oh …Luna” she smiled slightly
“You look miserable”
She smiled weakly and tears fell down her cheek in reply.
“Oh Ginny” Luna stepped forward and pulled her into a hug. “Come on; tell me what the matter is?”
“Dean” she pulled away and wiped her eyes “He’s causing problems again, Harry doesn’t seem to understand – he wants to be friends with him still – after all he said and did how can he still want have anything to do with him”
“I’m sure Harry understands how you feel, he just doesn’t like being on bad terms with people, they used to be friends”
“It’s not Harry I have a problem with its Dean flaming Thomas and his big mouth”
“Let’s talk inside” she opened the carriage door “People have big ears as well on this train”
Ginny followed her inside and Neville looked up “Oh hi Ginny”
“Neville, could you leave for like five minutes, Ginny’s a bit upset – Harry’s in there usual carriage you could go there with Ron”
He saw her red eyes and tear stained cheeks and just nodded,
“Sure, might go and see Angela as well” he replied
“Thankyou Neville” she smiled and he left.
“Thanks Luna” Said Ginny sitting down “Angela?”
“In Hufflepuff, she’s Maria’s big sister in seventh year, her and Neville got to know each other quite well through Hannah Abbott” She smiled “Tell me everything about You, Harry and Dean”
“You know I told you about that morning before Vold – well that morning and the things he said after the big argument with Tori at breakfast” She hated remembering that morning for that reason let alone for the argument with Dean.
“Yes” said Luna “And I know he was horrible but he’s not now is he?”
“He can’t have changed in just over a week Luna”
“No but-”
“But what” she sighed “He’s a pig, a horrible, arrogant and twisted pig and I don’t want him anywhere near me or Harry”
“Have you told Harry this?”
“Yes but I told him he can be friends with him I just don’t want to be”
“Did you give him a chance to explain?” Hermione appeared at the door as Luna spoke and Ginny replied “Well no – not really – I got out as soon as I could”
“There talking” said Hermione wandering and sitting beside Ginny “Ron’s there and he’s not happy with Dean or Harry for forgiving him and I can’t say I don’t agree with him, after what Deans put you both through” she looked to Ginny for an answer but she just looked to her knees and her hands closed around each other in her lap. “Harry shouldn’t just give in like that”
“He’s not giving in” said Ginny looking up suddenly “When have you ever known Harry to give in?” she replied sharply standing up.
“Not like that Ginny” said Hermione quickly “He’s just accepting him like nothing happened”
Ginny walked out, this is why she liked to be alone, other people made her even more angry by sticking there foot in it if they tried to talk to her. She walked the length of the carriages looking in and seeing Harry and Ron talking but kept going until she found the compartment she was wasn't looking for.
“Ginny” the occupant looked up in surprise
“I just wanted to talk to someone who would understand”
“Dean”
She nodded,
“What’s the prat done this time?”
“He tried to apologise, but I can’t forgive him”
“He’s so not worth the bother of getting upset over” The girl patted the seat in front of her for Ginny as she came inside properly and closed the door.
“It happened that morning after your argument at breakfast”
“Before you were taken – I haven’t spoken to him since”
“He said something’s, horrible things about me and Harry. He told us that we didn’t love each other as much as we thought, that he loved me more” she shook her head “I don’t want to hurt you or make you upset Tori”
“Its fine Ginny, keep going”
“He said that me and Harry had – well you know – and that wasn’t true but he still insisted on telling anyone who would listen, but he thinks by just saying sorry he can get away with it all”
“Dean’s brain works oddly to the rest of the world”
“So does Harry’s apparently, he’s all for forgiving him”
“You should be talking to him not me”
“I don’t want to face him; we don’t have problems not like this”
“You do now”
Ginny sighed and leant back in her seat closing her eyes “He’s such a pain; I wish I’d never gone out with him at all”
“Join the club” Tori smiled “Your brother is so different”
Ginny’s eyes opened in a smile “Charlies great, he’s a charmer but he’s a catch” she grinned “He likes you”
“You really think so, he did invite me out on a date” Tori shifted in her seat a little, Ginny thought she looked thrilled but was trying to hide it,
“Say yes! He didn’t take his eyes off of you the whole of yesterday”
Tori giggled a little, but became serious “Go and talk to him Ginny, you can’t hide in here for the rest of the trip – and anyway it looks like I have visitors” she gestured to the door at Dean who had Seamus, Lavender, Pavarti and her boyfriend behind him.
“Thanks Tori” she smiled and got up squeezing past the group whose eyes followed her as she left and walked down the carriage.
“What was that about?” said Dean to Tori
“Nothing to worry your little brain over”
*****
“Harry” said Ginny meekly at the doorway. He looked up and Ron stood up, said “I’ll leave you too it” and left.
“Harry, what’s happening to us?”
“Nothing is” he reached out for her hand and pulled her towards him gently, she moved forward towards him silently and sat sideways on his lap, wrapping her arms around his middle and her head leaning against his shoulder. He held on to her tightly and replied “Dean and I called a truce, we decided it was better we didn’t fight and he knows why you don’t want anything to do with him”
“Why do you?” she questioned but she snuggled into him closer, he was warm and comfortable.
“I don’t, I don’t like him and as far as I’m concerned he’s not my friend, he never will be, it’s just better he doesn’t know that for both our sakes”
She looked up in surprise as he spoke “But you said-”
“-I couldn’t say no to him, we have to live with him for a few more months yet and at least if we’re not at each others throats over you they will be peaceful”
“For once Harry Potter doesn’t want a fight”
“Hey” he smiled and squeezed her in the hug “I’m backing down for us, I’m not giving in just keeping the peace for a bit”
“A bit?” she smiled,
“If he gets like he was then I’m not going to put up with it anymore, they can cart me off to Azkaban or that other prison for blowing him into millions of pieces”
“Will you come and visit me if I do the honours instead”
“Everyday” he laughed “But we already discussed the benefits of not going to prison at all now didn’t we”
“This was one of them” she smiled and leaned up to kiss him.
“I remember now” he smiled back and kissed her again.
