it's never gonna be that simple

Leonhart17

Thursdays they all eat dinner together. He doesn't show up and she walks Ron outside the flat (they have to apparate from the back, too many eyes in the front.)

She walks back inside as there is a pounding on the front door. Opening the door reveals Harry, hands deep in his pockets.

"You're late for dinner." Dry humor makes it feel like it used to.

He seems surprised that everything is still so normal.

"Is everything okay with us?" His voice sounds like it did four nights before.

She smiles reassuringly. "Same as always."

She can see his throat bob as he swallows.

"What if I don't want it to be? What if I want more?"

She can see the truth in his eyes and she feels a jolt as her world realigns.

"I guess I'll break my date."

When she gets the floo later from Ron say that Harry and Ginny have broken up she doesn't tell him that she already knows.
