Harry is soon to make the worst decision he's ever made; marrying Ginny. He doesn't love her like that, he's in love with someone else, and he'll do anything anything for him.

That's why we couldn't be together. That's why I'd ended it the day after, because if I had to witness that night again I think my heart would break too. After all, I think I'd rather break his heart than see him hurt. A broken heart will heal over time.

They better run fast and hope they get away. Because I'm back.

There was a reason he wasn't a Hufflepuff. They had agreed, that this was strictly a Friends with Benefits thing, but without the friendship. Obviously this relationship had to remain a secret. Rated T for implied sexual frustration ;)

"She said we were inseparable as babies; we were like brothers apparently." "I never knew that." The more I thought about it, the more I craved knowing my parents even more. Suddenly a high pitched ringing made me clasp my hands over my ears, my head screamed with pain before my eyes rolled backwards and I knew nothing more. HIATUS

Jenni Barton, well that's who everyone knows me as, its Barton-Crouch really. I've got a small, okay - huge, crush on Neville Longbottom, but its not like I can tell him the truth really, can I? Especially when I can't even come up with a way to even say 'Hello', despite the fact we're in the same year and have spoken before. So why is this hard? Rated T for Language.
