Hello here is my fic revised with the little bit that got cut out in it. This is 
a fic to show you the effects of diet coke on the brain. What do you think? 
Should Harry’s feelings deepen or should I prove that you can be just friends? 
R/R please, flames are always appreciated. Another TF creation, author Luce. If 
you’re wondering about the title it’s a line from a Free song, Wishing Well. 

Valentines Day at Hogwarts…

Harry sighed as he lay down on his front beside the lake. The sun was shining 
the cold February demeanor had lifted into a crisp gentle breeze. To top it all 
off it was Valentines Day. 
The grounds were swarming with couples. Even Draco Malfoy’s eyes had lit up when 
Pansy Parkinson handed him a gaudy fuschia valentine. Ron and Hermione were 
leaned up against a tree, laughing and chatting. Harry looked on at them. They 
looked so happy, he thought. He wasn’t exactly jealous. He was just put out by 
their couple-ness. There were of course plenty girls who would have kept Harry 
company, but there was only on he wanted and as far as he knew she wasn’t 
interested in him or anyone else right now. Cho Chang’s eyes were still dull 
with remorse over the death of Cedric Diggory. He could see it even when she 
smiled as she said hello in the corridors. Harry just felt plain lonely. He 
hadn’t seen his godfather Sirius since the end of fourth year and some things 
just looked silly on paper. He wondered what Sirius would say. Maybe he was 
being stupid. He pushed himself up onto his knees. There was someone behind him.
"Hi Ginny!" he said turning round.
"Hi Harry…you looked lonely." She smiled at him.
"Yeah well," he smiled ruefully turning to face Ginny properly. She blanched 
suddenly.
"Oh pants!" she cried.
"What?" asked Harry.
"Colin Creevey! He’s been following me around all day… Harry what do I do?!" she 
moaned trying to hide behind him, crouching so she was just hidden. Harry 
suddenly stood up and grabbed Ginny’s arm.
"Come on…" he said and hurried her off. 
"Where are we going?" she asked laughing.
"I don’t know!" said Harry starting to laugh. "I don’t know!" 
After half an hour they found themselves in Hogsmeade. Harry was surprised at 
how fun Ginny was turning out to be. They wandered in and out of shops laughing 
at some of the funny couples they passed. They really howled when they passed 
Malfoy who was looking red as Pansy shrieked at him for not getting her a 
present. That honeymoon was definitely over! Among those they encountered were 
Professors McGonagall and Dumbledore walking arm in arm but clearly just good 
friends. Professors Flitwick and Sprout were also heading for the Three 
Broomsticks looking enchanted with each other! 
Harry was glad he wasn’t so alone on Valentines Day. Ginny seemed happy enough 
to be away from Colin and it soon occurred to Harry that since the incident in 
the Chamber of Secrets he and Ginny had never really been alone together without 
Ron or Hermione. It was nothing personal just the way things worked out. Soon 
their idle conversation turned to people they knew.
"Hermione told me all about the cupboard thing," Ginny said laughingly. [AUTHORS 
NOTE: SEE FIC "I found the lyrics for ooh Las Vegas"]
Harry grinned deviously.
"Well they needed to do something about it…I was fed up of Ron looking mournful 
whenever Hermione was in the room or whenever he spoke about her and considering 
the fact he spoke about nothing else…" Ginny laughed. Harry caught sight of the 
Three Broomsticks.
"Shall we?" he asked indicating the inn.
"No money!" shrugged Ginny apologetically.
"You think you’re paying?" laughed Harry and pushed her in the direction of the 
door. 
"Oh okay." Agreed Ginny mocking reluctance.
Inside the inn Harry and Ginny sat laughing over Butterbeer. At another table 
sat some teachers including the couples they had encountered earlier. Snape was 
looking more vindictive and sour than usual. His indigo sowberry and rye sat 
smoking in front of him and he didn’t join in the teacher’s merry laughter. 
Harry nearly choked on his Butterbeer as Cho walked past and smiled by way of 
greeting at him. He coughed and tried to smile. Cho laughed and Harry looked 
sheepish. Ginny watched Harry’s expression change as he saw what she knew was 
coming. A tall seventh year came up behind Cho and guided her in the direction 
of a table. Harry watched aghast as Cho accepted a white rose from the boy and 
her eyes shone for the first time since Cedric’s death over six months ago. He 
swallowed and averted his gaze and swallowed. What does he have I don’t? he 
asked himself angrily.
"Harry, come on," said Ginny gently picking up her cloak and getting ready to 
leave. Harry followed suit. As the left the inn dusk was beginning to settle. 
"I’m sorry Ginny," apologised Harry. 
"Oh it’s OK," she said flippantly. They walked in silence for a while. Ginny 
sighed.
"What is it about her Harry?" she asked. Or what does she have I don’t? she 
thought sadly.
Harry was taken aback.
"Well...I…I" he stammered. Was it that obvious? "I don’t know," he said giving 
up.
As they wandered up the path to the main steps Harry spoke again.
"I really did have a good time today Ginny," he said honestly. 
"Really?" she asked
"Really." He confirmed as they walked in the Entrance Hall. Once they had 
reached the Gryffindor common room, which was almost empty except for Neville 
who was snoozing in an armchair. Ginny took a deep breath.
"Thanks Harry." She said and quickly kissed him on the cheek, a blush rising to 
her cheeks.
"No Ginny, thank you."
Ron and Hermione suddenly burst in through the portrait hole holding hands.
"Hello!" exclaimed Hermione in surprise. Ron looked a bit confused. Hermione 
disentangled herself from Ron’s grip. 
"Coming for food?" she asked Ginny.
"Yeah OK," said Ginny desperate to escape from what she had just done.
As the girls headed for the portrait hole Hermione turned and looked at Ron. 
"In a minute," he said awkwardly sneaking a glance at Harry.
"Yeah a minute." Harry agreed. The girls left.
"Harry please don’t mess around with my sister! She really does like you…a LOT. 
Don’t lead her on. I can tell you still like Cho and if Ginny thinks you like 
her then…"
"Ginny knows."
"Oh…but you two were…"
"Ron we’re honestly just friends. Nothing more. And if Ginny thinks that we are 
it’s not my fault but I know she doesn’t think like that at all. Anyway…"
"Anyway?"
"Food comes first with me!" grinned Harry and made for the portrait hole. 
"Race you to the hall!"
