Love me like you do

Emma strikes back

Edited April 2017

So it's been about what? A day and it seems longer. I hadn't talked or seen Ginny in a while which kind of worried me. After pouring my heart out towards Hermione I had felt a tiny bit better.  God that woman is practically my councillor.

Ginny clouded most of my thoughts. A little part of me wanted it to be Ginny that I was pouring my heart out to, not Hermione. Okay I will admit it, I love Ginny Weasley. She won. She won this stupid bet and not only that but my heart? That's all I can offer her.

Maybe I was just too scared to admit it, great Gryffindor I am! How am I suppose to tell her? I hurt her and now she's avoiding me. I can't talk to Ron about it, after all he had nearly had a stroke about that night he rang me. Emilie had asked me none stop on what's wrong with Ginny. Ryan and Janet seem to be in an argument and he had said something stupid. Janet had been comforted by Eva and Crystal. Nina and Jason are back now, we'll they never left. They were just really business with lectures. Jason was training to be dentist and Nina was business with accounting.

My phone buzzed in my pocket, slowly taken it out I had received a message from Hermione,

Hey Harry, How are you? I saw Ginny today she seems to be acting odd, I'll go check it out.

Hermione's POV

I went to find Ginny. I was so glad Harry came clean with me about the 'deal' .

I found it cute though, he lost. But Ginny doesn't know. Now I must see what her side of the story is. Saturday is in two days which means there 'deal' is up.

I approached the red haired girl who seemed to be so concentrated on her work that I didn't think she even noticed me. I cleared my throat and Ginny looked up.

"Hey Hermione" Ginny greeted while her eyes went back to the book.

"I know about the deal" was all I said and Ginny's head snapped up. Ginny's eye brows were knitted together and she looked confused. "Did Harry tell you?" She asked.

"No he didn't need to" I said.

And he didn't. From the moment I came to Harbor I knew there was something off about there relationship. I didn't want to say anything because it wasn't my place. But Ginny had left clues along with Harry and I figured them out. I think I got a little too curious.

"How did you find out?" Ginny asked.

I explained to Ginny how I found out and the red nodded slowly. "You love him" was all I said and Ginny looked down. "Always" was all she said and I ran to pull her into a hug. "You two are way too stubborn to talk to, you know that" I gave her a small smile as I pulled away.

"What are you talking about?" Ginny asked.

"Anyone can see that you two love each other, anyone except Ron" I smirked. Ginny looked at me with a sad expression. "He doesn't want me" was all she said.

"I know he said that" I said while sitting down next to her. "But you do realise that Harry's been giving you hints all this time" I spoke cautiously. I don't want to ruin this, this is for Harry to fix. He wants Ginny he has to show her, I'm just the push in the right direction.

"What do you mean?" She asked. "Ask Harry" was all I said and got up. "Hermione wait!" Ginny cried. I stopped and looked at Ginny.

"Little hints?" Ginny mumbled. Within moments her eyes widened with understanding. "Does this have to do anything with fourth year?" Ginny asked.
