A/N: I know I should write at „Hermione’s baby.“ But I got that idea a few days 
before and it refused to go away. 
 Never say never:
 
Being the youngest Weasley wasn’t helpfully, not at all. Ginny had learned so 
much in the previous years. Her brothers had teased her all the time, about her 
crushes.
First of all there was Harry. Perfect Harry… Ginny sighed about this thought. 
The girl just knew that he and she could last forever, if they would only try. 
She pushed this thought aside. Years ago Harry told her, that she’s smart and 
funny and that she’s one of the most wonderful girls in school but definitely 
not his type. How had he told her? She remembered all to clear. “You are a girl 
Ginny, every guy wants to have as a friend. I can talk anything to you and I 
love doing pranks with your help. I never want to miss you.” Yes, that was it. 
It was the day, when Ginny realized that she would never get her chance. So she 
tried to get over Harry.
In her fourth year she tried to fall for Colin, because she knew exactly that he 
liked her… a lot. And since all the girls in her year had been kissed, she 
thought it would be for the best. But she failed. Colin was one off her best 
friends, it seemed not okay. Every time he came closer, she moved away so she 
broke up. 
And then, her last try, to come over Harry, His worst enemy: Draco Malfoy. She 
knew from the first moment, that she was not in love with Draco and probably 
never would, but she was hurt. Hurt for being so near to him and at the same 
time so far away, for being one of his best friends but not a little bit more, 
and she was willing to hurt Harry as much as she could.  She went for a few 
dates with Draco and had got her first kiss from him. He seemed to be interested 
and their relationship lasted till last month.
Exactly one month ago she saw him with Pansy. He was making out with the 
good-looking witch. And it hurt her to see him in such a position. She yelled at 
him, for doing this to her, But he just smirked at her and told Ginny that he 
was far to good looking for having only one girlfriend. She was furious, Ginny 
felt betrayed. 
When they started to date she had a big argument with the house of Gryffindor, 
especially with Ron, Harry and Hermione. They didn’t understand why she had to 
date the worst boy in whole Hogwart, and she couldn’t tell them one reason. 
Ginny drifted apart from the house, over the last year she was only tolerated 
not accepted not wanted. She was the betrayer. 
When she broke up with Draco she told nobody, because of her stubbornness.  And 
so she had spent the last month alone in her dorm. Nobody seemed to mind.
Ginny sat up in her bed. It had become evening and she felt hungry, but on the 
other hand she avoided the Great Hall in the “rush-hours” ever since last month. 
A whole year she was sitting with the Slytherins, but this was obviously out of 
order. If she were going down she would have to sit with her housemates. Ginny 
sighed deeply. ’Why I?’ she thought to herself. ‘Why can’t my life be more 
simple?’ She turned around, and hoped that her hunger would go away.  But she 
was starving. She sat up and hoped at least that Draco wasn’t also in the Great 
Hall right now.  While she crossed the common room, Ginny got many dirty looks 
from the first years. She felt like she was the enemy. “At last I’m not just a 
face in the crowd.” Ginny thought to herself. “ I’m the ONLY Weasley who is not 
idolized.” 
When she reached the Great Hall she was unsure. Who would be there? And what 
would they say to her? Sometimes she felt incredible stupid, she had lost all 
her friends because of Draco. When she was at home in the holidays, only her 
parents would talk to her, her brothers were ashamed of her and left the room 
whenever she entered. “Calm down. Just look at the floor and everything will be 
all right.” Her breath was faster now and she felt that she started to blush. 
She walked slowly through the dishes, and it seemed to her that it took an 
eternity to cross the hall. Finally she had reached the table. Ginny seated 
herself as far away from the others as possible. She avoided eye- contact with 
the students and tried to be completely silent. Just when she started to believe 
that her plan would work, she heard a voice that made her jump.
“Ginny, honey, why don’t you sit with me?” Draco Malfoy shouted towards her.  He 
was standing between the Ravenclaws and the Huffelpuffs and smiled rather 
self-confident in her direction. She stayed silent and looked back at her food. 
‘Don’t dare you, to get mad.’ she spoke to herself. ’He’s just a jerk and he’ll 
leave you alone.’ But he didn’t. Instead he had crossed the room and was 
standing right behind her. She could feel his breath on her skin and this 
feeling made her to want scream as loud as she could. “Oh I see, you want to 
show your friends and family how happy you are.” He whispered into her ear.  She 
couldn’t help, when he mentioned her family, she looked up. She started 
searching for Ron and she found him. He was sitting with the other seventh years 
and didn’t know, what was going on. She was relieved. “Don’t dare to speak about 
MY family.” Ginny hissed back. “They are to good for you.” She was too angry for 
staying cool. “And you know perfectly well, why I’m sitting here.” Suddenly 
Draco started to laugh, it was cruel and hollow. Ginny hated it when he laughed. 
“To good?” he practically shouted. “You really think so? Don’t you remember how 
they dropped you a few months ago? How they hurt you?” Every person in the Great 
Hall watched them, by now. And to Ginny’s absolute horror, also Ron and his 
friends watched them. “ You don’t have to shout.” She hissed in a dangerous 
tone. “Why not?” he asked an innocent voice. “Oh I understand!” he shouted but 
then he whispered also “Ginny, come with me and I won’t say anything. I’ll 
forgive you. “ Ginny couldn’t take it any longer. She jumped up, momentary 
unaware about the audience, they weren’t important anymore. 
“YOU forgive me?!” she shouted while he smirked at her and nodded rather proud 
with himself. “There is nothing I have done wrong!! Don’t forget, I found you 
kissing this Slytherin girl! And indeed my family is too good for you, every 
Gryffindor is better then you and your friends! Yes they have dropped and hurt 
me, but still the are better then you!!” Ginny finished. Before she turned 
around to leave the Great Hall she slammed Draco hard across the face. She 
started to run, because she didn’t want to see the reaction of the houses and 
she didn’t want to get her detention right now. And she was successful. She 
reached the portrait of the fat Lady seconds before she started sobbing. Ginny 
took two steps instead of one and slammed the door to her dorm. She didn’t want 
to see one single person in the whole wide word again. And she cried the whole 
night.      
All to early the day dawned and she heard the birds singing. Ginny knew there 
was no way to stay in bed, so she got up. The young girl took a cold shower and 
got dressed. It was the first day since years she didn’t take any make-up. It 
wasn’t important anymore.  Ginny left for the common- room before she realized 
that it was to early for breakfast, but the girl was sure that she didn’t want 
to be in her dorm when the other girls woke up. To her great relieve the common 
room was empty. She walked to a seat in front of the fireplace since it was 
December and really cold.  Before Ginny realized it, she was back to sleep. 
“Ginny?” she heard a soft voice. When she opened her eyes, Ginny looked into a 
rather familiar pair of blue eyes. “Ron?”  Ginny asked, her voice unsure like 
the voice of a child. 
“Ginny, I’m sorry.” He told her. “ I shouldn’t have…. ” But Ron couldn’t finish 
his sentence. Ginny placed a finger on her brother’s lips and shook her head 
firmly. ”It’s okay. We both had made mistakes… forget it,“ she whispered. Ron 
looked relieved and she knew exactly why. Both of them were extreme stubborn and 
couldn’t apologize very easily. But since both worked after the same scheme they 
had a very strong band between us. Ginny could her someone took in a sharp 
breath, so she looked up, and she saw Hermione and Harry. Both looked bad. In 
the first seconds, she knew that they were sorry. Ginny nodded in their 
direction to signal them, that everything was all right and so the rushed 
forward. 
The next minutes the three friends hugged Ginny very firmly. Last but not least 
Harry hugged her while he whispered into her ear. This situation let her blush 
and she felt that her knees got weak. ‘Oh I’m still not over you.’ she thought. 
‘I’ll think about it tomorrow, because never say never, maybe there is still a 
chance for us.’
She giggled at this thought and the others looked at her sharply. 
“What?” Ron asked. Somehow he was worried that his baby sister’s going mad.
“Nothing” Ginny answered hugging him tightly. “It’s just good to have you back.” 
              
Hermione, Ron and Harry just nodded.
“But there is still a problem.” Ginny said. She had to smile about the confused 
looks of her friends “Can we please go down for breakfast? I’m starving.” 
“Sure.” Harry replied, before he burst out laughing. 
And the four friends were on their way to the Great Hall. 
But Harry and Ron, both recognized that Ginny became more and more nervous the 
nearer the Great Hall came. They changed concerned looks. Ron, who had one arm 
around Hermione’s waist and the other around his sister, finally broke the 
silent. “What it is, Ginny?” he asked although he had already a clue.
“I’m just a little anxious what Dra… I mean Malfoy will do or say.” She said, 
her voice a little shaky. Now Harry did something that made her blush again. He 
himself laid his arm around her waist and through her closer to him. Then he 
brushed a single lock of her hair out of her face and spoke in a gently warm 
voice to her. “Don’t worry Ginny. Ron and I’ll protect you. Nothing will happen 
to you as long I can breathe.” It was as if he wanted to seal his promise 
because he took her face into his hands and kissed her forehead. In these very 
minutes she thought that heaven just begun. She held on him and whispered into 
his ear a small thank you. While she did so she looked everywhere else then in 
Harry’s emerald green eyes. 
After this scene she looked at Hermione and for a second she thought that her 
eyes held pure amusement about the whole situation. Minutes later they entered 
the Hall. Ginny was going between the two men. Harry still had his arm around 
her waist, which brought her a few dirty looks of obvious jealous witches. 
Indeed Harry and had Ron made astonishing developments over the last years. They 
were the best looking males in whole Gryffindor. Both were rather tall and 
muscular and most witches in the school dreamed about a date with one of this 
handsome boys. But Ron had made his decision: He was head over heels in love 
with Hermione. The young girl had become a very attractive woman and was adored 
by many young men. But she was not interested in them. Ron and Hermione were 
handled as the most sympathy and good looking pair in Hogwart.  And when Ginny 
entered the Great Hall in the arm of the Harry most girls feared that they could 
loose him at little Ginny Weasley. She didn’t understand why because she didn’t 
want to see how pretty she was, when she spent a little time on her appearance. 
Every time she had gone out with her friends, she felt a bit like an “ugly 
duckling.”
Finally they had reached the table and started with there breakfast. It seemed 
to be a normal day, when Ginny felt a hand on her shoulder, which wasn’t 
Harry’s, or Ron’s.  She thought to know who it was and she panicked, before she 
turned around Ginny reached for Harry’s hand and squeezed it. He immediately 
looked up and saw what altered Ginny: Draco Malfoy.
“Leave her alone!” Harry told the blonde haired boy a bit angry. But Draco just 
smirked at him and bent down to Ginny’s ear. “I see why you have left me. How is 
it to be Potter’s whore?” he asked her. Harry just heard the last words but it 
was enough for him. He jumped up and punched the boy hard. “How dare you?” he 
practically shouted. “Never and I mean NEVER speak to Ginny like this again. 
Don’t talk to her or just look at her, understand?” 
But obviously Draco didn’t understand. Several things happened in the same time: 
Ron also jumped up and a fight started between the three people. Hermione 
shouted for them to stop and Ginny was standing next to the fighting boys, 
shaking like mad. She knew exactly that she was the reason for the fight and was 
very anxious what would happen. Second after the whole thing had begun it was 
stopped by Professor Dumbledore. “Stop!” he shouted, his voice furious. The boys 
stood up and looked a bit ashamed, at least two of them did. 
“Follow me” he insisted, while he pointed at the three wizards. Hermione and 
Ginny wanted to go with them but were stopped by a movement of Dumbledore’s 
hand. “Just them.” Ron looked apologizing at his girlfriend before he left with 
the others.
Hermione seated herself next to Ginny. “Nothing bad will happen,“ the older girl 
told her friend. But Ginny had the feeling that Hermione spoke more to herself 
then to her. It was Saturday and so they had no classes. After a few more 
minutes the two girls went back to their common room, both sick with worries. 
After an eternity the portrait hole swung open and Ron and Harry came in. 
Hermione jumped up and hugged her boyfriend very tightly. Ginny stood also up, 
but didn’t dare to hug Harry, although she wanted. Instead she patterned his 
back and asked him anxious what happened. Harry and Ron told them about their 
talk with the Professor. How the old man got furious about Malfoy and about 
their detention, which wasn’t in the case of Ron and Harry too bad. They just 
had to train a few Gryffindor third years in Quidditch for a week. Both girls 
were relieved but Ginny still wanted to do one thing. She got up again and 
walked in front of Harry. She looked into his eyes and had to concentrate very 
hard not to blush. “Harry, … I want to say: Thank you.” He grinned at her and 
answered. “ This was nothing but.. Anytime..” Then Ginny turned to her brother 
and hugged him tightly. “Thanks big brother.” To her amusement, Ron still 
blushed because of her commentary.  
The four friends spent a wonderful day together, laughing and joking. Sometimes 
a girl would come to ask Harry for a date but he refused every time. When it 
became evening Ginny realized that she was definitely not over Harry. Instead 
she was in love with him. Whenever he touched her she started to feel dizzy and 
whenever he spoke just to hear she became a dreamy expression on her face. 
Somehow she hated herself because of her feelings. He had already made clear 
enough that he loved her only as a friend, because she wasn’t as good looking as 
Cho Chang was or Hermione.  Yes he hadn’t use this words but that was not the 
point.  
Ginny went to bed earlier then normally because she wanted to think about the 
problematic situation. Then minutes after she reached her dorm she heard a soft 
knock. “Come in.,“ she yelled. The door opened and in the door- frame stood 
Hermione.  The young woman closed the door and walked up to Ginny’s bed. 
“Thought that we should talk a little.” She told Ginny before she seated herself 
next to Ginny. “About what?” Ginny sighed deeply.
“About Harry.” the witch told her.  Ginny was astonished. She wondered how 
Hermione sensed such things. She knew exactly that there was no point of denying 
it.  She told her best friend about being in love with the handsomest single in 
whole Hogwart, about knowing exactly that there is no change for her and so on. 
On some pointed Hermione made a movement with her hand. “Honestly Ginny, do you 
really believe that you are not as pretty as Cho or me?” Ginny nodded slowly. 
She didn’t understand why Hermione asked so unbelieving. “Come here.” Hermione 
told her while she reached for Ginny’s hand.  Hermione guided her into the 
bathroom of the sixth years. Then she told Ginny to stay in the front of a big 
mirror. “What do you see?”  “Me?” Ginny suggested. “I see a beautiful woman, who 
is surely as pretty if not prettier then the other girls. Honestly, don’t you 
remember, how I looked like when I started at Hogwart? Ron didn’t recognize me 
as a girl till 4th class.” Hermione told her friend, she ever thought that Ginny 
was beautiful, especially her long red hair, which fell down over her shoulders. 
She never realized how Ginny thought about herself.
“I tell you, what we’ll do. Tomorrow we are going to Hogsmeande, remember?” 
Ginny just nodded. “You know that we can wear whatever we wanted. We’ll make a 
little experiment. Believe me, you’ll knock Harry dead.” Ginny felt exited for 
the first time in a long time. She hugged Hermione firmly and started 
practically singing and dancing. “Thank you Hermione.” Somehow Hermione’s little 
speech had given her more self-confidents.”
Ginny could barely sleep this night, after all it seemed as if she got a last 
chance for her dreams to come true.   
Hermione and Ginny met at 6 o’ clock in the morning because the younger of them 
was really nervous. After a breakfast they went back into the Gryffindor tower 
in which the first students made themselves ready for breakfast. When they 
entered the room Ron was coming down.
“Where have you two been?” he asked them, obviously curious.
“We just had breakfast.” Hermione answered before she gave him a kiss. 
“So early?” he asked. Hermione just nodded and tried to show him, that she 
couldn’t explain it right now. She seemed to be successful because Ron nodded 
and told them about time to leave for Hogsmeande. Hermione had suggested getting 
ready in her room, since she was head- girl and had a room for herself. Hermione 
showed Ginny a few dress and trousers, but nothing seemed to fit Ginny’s type. 
Suddenly Hermione’s eyes widened in pure joy. “I have an idea.” She told Ginny. 
Then she started to search through her drunk. Till she found for which she had 
looked. In her hand she held a green tank shirt and a short black skirt. She 
reached it to Ginny. “Try it.” Ginny hesitated. “Do you really believe that I 
can wear something like that? My figure-“ but she was cut off. “Your figure is 
fine. Just try it.”  When she had changed Hermione gasped. “Perfect.” She told 
her friend. Then she guided her to a small chair.  She put a little bit make- up 
on Ginny’s face after that she started to make her hairstyle. The bigger part 
just hung down, but the rest was put up in a little bun. It looked absolutely 
lovely. At last there was the question of the shoes. Hermione thought about 
black high-heels and in the end Ginny wore those shoes. After Hermione had 
finished Ginny, she dressed herself in less then 30 minutes. They were just 
ready in time. Ginny was very nervous and suddenly has the wish to stay here 
forever, but Hermione refused. “Gin, don’t forget, Harry doesn’t know why you 
wear those clothes. There is no reason to be upset. And by the way, you look 
just wonderful, I think you’ll cause many heart-attacks today.” Ginny giggled 
and hugged her friend one more time. “Thank you for everything.”
“You’re welcome. Come on we’re late.” the older of the two said. 
They went down the stairs, both happy, with the result of their job. Hermione 
reached the common room first and Ron looked up. Like always, she looked lovely 
and he fall in love again. Harry was sitting with his back to the staircase, he 
was reading his homework over, and when he saw Ron starring he turned around and 
saw like always in those situations, Hermione.
“You look great.” Ron told his girlfriend. Hermione blushed slightly and kissed 
him before she answered in a casual tone, “But wait till you see this.” Just the 
other girl stepped into the room. First of all Ron didn’t recognized the young 
woman who was standing in front of him, but soon enough he realized that this 
was Ginny Weasley his little sister. Harry had gone back to read his sheets as 
soon as he had seen Hermione. But when he heard Ron gasped a few times, he 
looked at his best friend. “What it’s?” he asked slightly concerned. Instead of 
an answer Ron addressed the object of his astonishment.  “Gin, you look 
absolutely beautiful.” He told his sister in an honest tone. Ginny smiled at her 
brother thankful for the compliment. She was slightly irritated because Harry 
hadn’t look at her by now. But after Ron’s statement Harry turned around and his 
mouth hang open. She could see that he was slightly blushing. Instead of 
addressing her directly he just nodded. “Well then, let’s go.” Hermione told 
them and Ginny nodded. Suddenly Ron and Harry had become rather uncomfortable. 
Harry recovered his voice and started to explain. “Well you see, I have invited 
another girl for coming with us.” Hermione looked angry and Ginny tried not to 
let him see how sad she was.
“Who?” Hermione asked rather coldly. “Therese, I think she’s in Ginny’s class.” 
Harry answered, he looked younger now. Ginny nodded as a response and looked 
into Hermione’s eyes, signalling the other girl not to interfere. Mione also 
nodded although she looked rather sour. Ginny didn’t feel like going out 
anymore, she felt like a fool. ‘I should be over it, by now.’ She told herself 
another time. “I’ll stay at Hogwart.” She heard herself say while she turned to 
the portrait hole. “Ginny, come with us. It will be great.” Harry told her, but 
she wasn’t in the mood any longer. She shook her head violently and left for the 
little lake. She loved the water and wanted to sit there. 
 When she reached the lake, she felt hot tears running down her cheek. ’You have 
embarrassed yourself, Ginny Weasley. How could you ever think, that Harry will 
fall for you? Stupid girl…’ Minutes later she heard food steps behind her. And 
for one tiny second she believed that it was Harry but it wasn’t. Next to her, 
Ron seated himself. He laid an arm around her shoulder, and Ginny felt grateful. 
She turned around to face him and couldn’t take it any longer. She laid her head 
on his shoulder and hugged him firmly. She sobbed into his warm clothes and was 
unable to stop. Ron spoke in a whisper to her and patterned her back the whole 
time she needed him. After what seemed to be an eternity she startled. “Ron?” 
she started “Thank you for being here with me, but why aren’t you in Hogsmeande 
with Hermione? Where is Hermione?” she asked her voice still shaking.  Ron 
nodded and looked into her face. He lifted her face and whipped her tears away 
then he started. “Hermione is in the castle. In fact also Harry is there. After 
you decided not to go nobody wanted to go either.” When he said Harry’s name, he 
hit a nerve. “Why can’t he love me like you love Mione?” she managed to say 
through her sobs. Ron looked at his sister very intense before he answered her 
question. “Ginny, you know very well, how long I needed to stand to my feelings: 
Over two years! And you never know, what Harry feels for you. Maybe he loves 
you, but hasn’t it realized by now. Ginny, give him time.” 
“But he had time.” Ginny said. “It’s your last year, his last year. Harry has no 
feelings for me, if he had, he wouldn’t want to go out with Therese and he would 
now sitting here” she whispered. And for the first time, Ron was sitting by her 
side he started to smile at her.
“You know, the date with Therese was settled six weeks ago, because of a bet. 
Hermione just forgot it and indeed Harry wanted to come after her but Hermione 
and I thought it would be better if I go.” He finished in a rush while Ginny’s 
eyes started to widen. At least she had hope again. Ron stood up and helped her 
up. ”Let’s go in Ginny. Harry had told me, that he wanted to talk to you.” Ginny 
stood up and hugged her brother. “Just look at me, Ron. I have totally messed up 
my outfit. I must look horrible.” She said in a rush but he shook his head. “No 
in fact, you look even more wonderful. Hermione must be happy that you are my 
sister…” he grinned at her. “Oh, you.” She said while she grinned back at him. 
And they made their way back to the castle. Ginny thought that she had the best 
brother in the world. 
 
The End or not?
A/N: I liked this, and like I said before it just came into my mind and refused 
to go. So how do you like it? Please review. I’m sorry, but I haven’t let it 
beta-read. Oh and I have started to write on the next chapter of Hermione’s 
baby, although I should know it better and learn. But still the next part will 
not be out before my exams aren’t finished. At least I think so… I don’t know, 
should I write a sequel to this story? What do you think?
