Harry's pov
       The weekend is over, yeah. I thought I can't sleep last night but ended being the opposite. I slept like a baby with no intimidating thoughts. After my conversation with ginny last night, I feel more relaxed and comfortable. Yeah, I know we're not together but she loves me just as much as I love her. The thought gives me sparkles.

Nonetheless, I couldn't ignore the pain of not being able to hold hands in public, kiss her, cuddle her like I wanted to or treat her like my girlfriend. But I respect her decision about Kathy.

Kathy's my friend too. I should be considerate of her. If anyone should understand Kathy the most at this time, it should be me. We've had almost all the related past. But that doesn't mean I could return her feelings. That is something I can't do. She's a wonderful girl, she could get any guy. Why does she have to fancy me? What's so special about me anyway? So, I decided to be a better friend to her. I'll just ask her for some time.

Arghhh! I don't know what to do. Maybe I'll ask Sirius, he's better in this sorta thing.

After freshening up I headed straight to the Great Hall noticing ron and mione already left. I feel incredible today which I don't know why.

I strolled to my friends and my girlfriend. Okay! I know she's not but can't I think that she's my girlfriend in my head? Of course I can, which lightens up my mood more.

"Morning, guys!" I greeted with a sheepish grin. They got startled instantly.

"Is something wrong, Harry?"

"Mate, what happened? Was it Slughorn? Dumbledore? Padfoot?" Asked ron with tension in his voice which surprised me more. Because he wouldn't even bother if the castle collapses when he's eating.

"Cool, ron. I just said good morning" I rolled my eyes and sat next to him, opposite ginny and Kathy who has a vague expression plastered on their face.

"Yeah and in a very delightful way unlike the harry I know," he said and got back to stuffing food in his mouth.

"I'm not all grumpy. I could be in a good mood" I muttered.

"Glad to know you're having a good day harry" mione smiled at me but also gave me a look that meant 'you have to tell me everything later '. I nodded politely.

Ginny and Kathy didn't say a word. Kathy just kept glancing at me which I ignored. I decided to talk with her later. I kept glancing at ginny which she ignored.
Great!

Are we going back to ignoring each other then? No, I will not let that happen.

Third-person pov

Ginny is walking down the corridor alone, just when she felt a hand covered her mouth and another hand grabbed her by the waist and puller her into a classroom.

She felt she's been pushed against the wall with those strong arms still gripping tight, not allowing her to scream. So, she bit that hand so roughly in her defence.

"Ow, ginny! You crazy" she heard a familiar voice. She facepalms acknowledging it was harry.

"Seriously, Harry? You're trying to kidnap me now?" She shook her head in disbelief.

He came in view with a faint face. Ginny grinned to herself and immediately cured his hand. "Better?" She asked.

"Better, that now I could do this" he smirked, snaking his hands around her waist and pulling her closer.

Ginny's eyes widened. "No, you can't do this. Who told you could? If I have to remind you, potter, you're not my boyfriend" she pressed the boyfriend a little. She felt shivers as he pulled her more and more closer.

"And whose fault is that?" His voice is barely a whisper as his eyes fixated on ginny's lips which are inches apart.

Her hands instantly placed on his chest and harry groaned inwardly. This is never a good sign. "No harry, we shouldn't" she stepped away from him.

"But I want to kiss you," said Harry with a pout and pleading eyes. Ginny could easily get melt in those eyes and his pout...damn! She's pretty sure she'll be dreaming about that.

"You're teasing me. We both know we shouldn't, Harry" said ginny in a warning tone.

"My hands are tied" in a low whisper. "Our hands are tied"

"Hey, I'm sorry, gin. I'm afraid you'd ignore me after this so I dragged you here." He stooped to her caressing her hands.

"I couldn't ignore you even if I try to" she gave harry a painful smirk making his heart clench.

"I don't want to upset you. Now, let's get to the class. What do you have?"

"Potions" she answered.

"Same for me. Be my partner, at least?" He pouted again making ginny chuckle.

"How could I say no to that pout?" She kissed his cheek.

They happily walked to the class near dungeons. Glad Kathy's not around.

Those smiles faded as they stepped into the class and saw...
