I woke up early and quickly started to arrange my room. That, was the first task which I always did. Just then, I heard a knock. I opened the door and it was Harry. "Good morning, Harry. Didn't expect you to wake up this early", I said as I let him come in. To my surprise, he closed the door behind him. "I've been meaning to have a word with you ever since I accused you of planning to go to Malfoy Manor", he said, sheepishly. His ears turned pink as he grinned a little. "Share your thoughts quick, Mister. I don't have all day and if Aunt finds you here then I-", I was just about to complete my sentence when he interrupted me. "I like you". And that was it. I was caught off guard. "I- I'm sorry, I don't feel the same way about you. I hope we can still be friends though", I replied. I hoped that things wouldn't get awkward but I was so so wrong in thinking that. Me and Harry literally avoided each other the rest of the day. When Ron asked me to pass him ketchup which Harry was using, my hand just quavered as I took it from him. I felt ashamed of what I had done but I didn't like him and I had told him that. What harm was there in that? But gods was I wrong, I didn't realize Ginny had heard a part of the event. She cornered me after Dinner in the garden where I was sitting. Mostly thinking of Malfoy Manor. I regretted not barging into Jake's room and leaving without even a single word. "Don't. You. Dare.", Ginny said glaring. "What was this about again?", I asked her confused. "Don't you dare steal Harry from me. He is mine, and only mine", she said. That was much more like the Ginny Ron had described in the letters. "Just so you know, I am not interested in Harry at all. He is all yours", I replied without as much as a second thought at the topic. I wasn't in the mood for an argument. Rather, I had never been in the mood for one ever since I had become friends with Jake....."And what insurance do I have for that?", Ginny asked. "I am not gonna do anything for your insurance. I am not interested in Harry in that way and I really am not letting my self-respect crumble in front of a Weasley", I replied and went back to my room leaving a pissed off Ginny.
