Almost in a trance, he shifted and pushed up his glasses as he thought back to what he had just witnessed after the 6th year Potion class. He still could not believe that after he had been so guilt ridden this summer over which Weasley he wanted to be with and now the one he choose was now cheating on him! //Flashback// Harry had gotten out of his class early and decided to surprise his girlfriend of 4 months and wait for her outside the Potions classroom. He had a free period coming up so he could afford to walk her to her next class and maybe get a few of her sweet kisses on the way. He smiled to himself as he imagined her reaction when he popped up from around the corner where he had decided to hide until she walked past. He would slide up behind her and give her a huge hug while he twirled her around. Harry had never been so happy, well, except for when fang-face was killed in that weird accident where Voldemort had tripped on Harry’s wand that was on the floor and fallen on the Gryffindor sword in Harry’s hand. Harry’s wand may have been useless against Voldemort’s but it was very helpful by being rolling when Voldemort stepped on it. He heard the door to potions open up and from his hideaway; he waited for Ginny to walk by. He watched as the other 6th year students hurriedly walk past and still no Ginny. He was just about to pop out of his hiding spot when he heard her soft giggle. His smile got larger and he braced himself to jump out so he could catch her in time before she left the dungeons. His brow crinkled in confusion when he heard a masculine voice say, “GOD Ginny, the things you do to me”. Harry waited a moment thinking he had misunderstood the voice but the groan of pleasure he heard next definitely came from a male and insured that Harry had not misunderstood anything. His smile fading fast, Harry peeped around the corner just enough so he could see who was in the hallway. The image was frozen in his mind as tears welled up in his emerald eyes. Colin Creevey was leaned up against the wall facing Ginny, with his arms around her tiny waist and shoulders. His left hand was tangled in her long auburn hair and she was in between his legs, pressed so close to his chest that you could not have gotten a sickle in between the two. One of her arms was wound around his waist and Harry could not see the other arm but he had an idea of where it was. What upset him the most was what she was doing with her lips. Her face was nestled in the crook of his neck and shoulder and from the movements of her head; Harry knew that she was suckling on his neck. She was sucking on his neck just as she used to do to him every chance she got this summer. Something that would drive him nuts, something she had not been doing to him lately. He held his breath and continued being a voyeur, hoping against hope that this was the Wizarding World’s version of the Muggle MTV Show “Punked” but knowing in his heart that his one true love was not all she had claimed to be. Harry slid back around the corner and closed his eyes to hide the tears that he refused to let fall. He jumped when he heard Colin say “We have to stop, we are going to be late for class Ginny Love.: Harry could hear the rustle of cloths and book backs being shuffled and knew that no matter what he could not let them see him. He shuffled more into the shadows, thanking Salazar that the Dungeons were always cloaked in shadows. He watched from the shadows as the love of his life and his number one fan walked quickly to Transfigurations. They never looked around, never looked back and Harry knew it was for the best. He could feel his magic cracking and he knew that if he lost control here, not only would it be disastrous because of the dangerous potions in the Potion classroom but also because if any of the Slytherins, especially their head of house, knew his heart was broken, he would never hear the end of it. Harry’s Slytherin side took over his thinking at this point and he utilized his memory of the shortcuts and deserted hallways while making plans for his emotional survival and that is how 10 minutes later, Harry found himself in front of the Fat Lady who guarded the Gryffindor Tower. //End Flashback// Harry shook his head and realized that it was close to time for everyone else to be out of their classes. Since he had defeated Voldemort, he no longer had to take DADA as a student of Hogwarts but was instead taking Owl lessons from the University, hence the reason he had a free period before lunch. He was not ready to see anyone, especially Ginny and Colin so he decided to go to Hogsmeade get drunk. As a 7th year, he could go to Hogsmeade anytime after classes were over as long as he was back in the dorms by curfew. If he got drunk tonight, he just might erase the image of Ginny and Colin making out in the hallway. If he could not, at least he could really claim he had a headache the next day for real and skip his classes so he could make plans and research Colin and his girlfriend. Being trained by the Slytherin Spy and having many Slytherin ways, he wanted to know everything before he decided what to do. He also knew that he would have to be a better actor than Snape when he was spying for the light if he was going to pull off this performance of being the perfect boyfriend. Leaving a note for Ron and Hermione, he quickly changed his cloths and headed out of the front of the castle before anyone returned to Gryffindor Tower.
