Author's Note: A Ginny fic. Sort of G/D but really G/H. Hint's of both. I wrote 
it after reading Bridget Jones Diary for maybe the 100th time, and after a 
friend went through a rough break up herself. Luckily she did find love again, 
and in the most unexpected places. And it's the same for Ginny.

Diclaimer: I don't own anything. The song is Gabrielle's, and the Characters are 
JK Rowling. 



There's a life out there
for me!

"Sorry Gin, but the thing is, me and Pansy were meant to be together." Said 
Draco Malfoy to his girlfriend, Ginny Weasley. She had been walking down to the 
lake, to see where her other half was, only to discover when she got there, 
Draco locked in a kiss with a fellow Sytherin friend of his, Pansy Parkinson. 
Ginny had turned and ran, but not before Draco saw her. Later at dinner, he 
managed to catch up with her and tried to explain what had happened. 
Unfortunately, most of the school was watching. 
People usually didn't pay much attention to relationships, however the romance 
between Draco and Ginny had caused much tension, since not only were the two in 
quarrelling houses, but Ginny's brother and best friend were Draco's sworn 
enemies.
Ginny was left just standing there as he continued to say: "I think you're great 
and all, but what me and Pansy have is special. No hard feelings, okay."
Ginny nodded as he walked away before promptly turning on her heel and heading 
to her dormitory. When she got there, she burst in to tears. What had she done 
wrong?

Knew the signs, wasn't right
I was stupid for a while
Swept away by you
And now I feel like a fool

He had showered her with gifts, almost daily. And she treasured everyone of 
them. She looked at a crystal rose he had bought her the other day, when they 
were in Hogsmeade. At the time it had seemed perfect. Now it seemed useless. 
Roses weren't even her favourite flower. She much rather preferred Lilies.
And the flower vase he had given her. What was the use of that? He never brought 
her real flowers, so what was the point? Sure it was very decorative, but Ginny 
had always been taught that unless it serves a purpose, it's not worth it. 
Still, at the time she loved them. All her friends were jealous. They all wished 
their boyfriends had enough money to buy them useless memories. And that's all 
they were. Memories. But not the good sort. She picked up the gifts and piled 
them all into one box. Then she pushed it as far under the bed as she could, 
then sat back on her bed.

So confused
My heart's bruised
Was I ever loved by you

Out of reach, so far
I never had your heart.
Out of reach, couldn't see
We were never meant to be

She should have known that it wouldn't last. All the times she had told him 'I 
love you'. Had he ever said it back? Never. Not once. He had always replied 
'ditto' or 'mmm hmmm'. At first, Ginny just thought he was shy. But after six 
months of dating, he hadn't even whispered it.
Her parents, and Ron greatly disapproved of the relationship. The whole family 
in fact. Hermione and Harry too. They all said it wouldn't last. Ginny had 
insisted that he was different from the other Malfoy's and that he could change. 
To which Ron had replied: "Once a Malfoy, always a Malfoy!" 
At the time, she had disagreed and said that it was her life, and she would date 
who ever she wanted. Regardless of what anyone else might say. How she wished 
she had listened to them, now?

Catch myself from despair
I will drown if I stay here
Keeping busy every day
I know I will be okay

Over the next few weeks, Ginny sunk herself into her schoolwork. Usually, when 
she wasn't busy and was alone, she thought about Draco. And she didn't want to 
do that. So when she wasn't studying, she was often with a large group of 
friends.
Her friends were brilliant. Any time she started to feel upset over 'Heartless 
Draco' (as they were now calling him) they would whisk her off to see what 
something or other was doing, and Ginny usually ended up feeling much happier. 
She later wondered how she would have coped during that time, without them. She 
knew she would have mostly moped around, doing nothing.

But I was so confused
My heart's bruised 
Was I ever loved by you

Out of reach so far
I never had your heart
Out of reach, couldn't see
We were never meant to be

Ginny was sitting on a grassy bank, next to the lake. She was thinking about 
Draco, and everything that had happened as a result of their break up.
It still hurt when she saw him. Even more when she saw him and Pansy together. 
But each day it got less and less. She managed to walk past him, without 
shedding a few tears, and once she even attempted a brief conversation with him.

So much hurt, so much pain
Takes a while to regain
What is lost inside
And I hope that in time 
You'll be out of my mind
I'll be over you

Her friends noticed that she was much more reserved than before. She wasn't as 
out-going as she used to be. Some said that she built up a barrier, but really 
she was just more careful about how close she got to others. Some said she had 
lost that naïve glow, that made her so sparkly. In truth, all that had happened 
was she had her heart broken.
She also developed new friendships during that period. With Harry in particular. 
Normally she would have been blushing too much to even consider talking to him, 
but having a broken heart changes you, and she found that she didn't feel for 
him in the same way she had before. Their relationship was unusual. Sort of like 
a friendship, but different. More special. 
He listened to her when she wanted to talk about Draco, and he didn't once say 
'I told you so!' even though she knew that was what he was thinking. He had been 
through a recent experience himself, after Hermione had realised that she cared 
for Ron and not for Harry. He hadn't taken it as hard as Ginny had, but still, 
he could sympathise with her, and help her through those periods when she felt 
like life wasn't worth living.

But now I'm so confused
My heart's bruised 
Was I ever loved by you

Out of reach so far

Ginny knew that, eventually, she would meet someone else. Possibly fall in love 
and might even get married. Who knew what the future may bring? She was coping. 
Sometimes not very well. Once or twice she had very nearly succeeded in writing 
Draco a letter telling him that she wanted him back, but her friends had stopped 
her in time.
"Ginny!" Harry called, waving his hands about, madly. "Are you coming to 
Hogsmeade or not? Everyone's waiting. And I owe you a butterbeer."

Out of reach so far
You never gave your heart
In my reach I can see
There's a life out there for me

Ginny stood up and looked at her friend, as he held out a hand. She didn't need 
Draco anymore. She had friends, and she had Harry. "There is a life out there 
for me!" she thought as she accepted it. And the two more-than-friends walked 
towards the carriages, talking about nothing and everything.
