Ginny's POV

Hello there! I see that you have been humiliated countless times in front of your major crush. I know the solution! I, like you fellow girls hopelessly in love, have been mortified, humiliated, and just plain embarrassed in front of my crush. I have true experience. Now, there are trillions of ways to embarrass yourself. There are billions of kinds of embarrassment. Trust me, I have experienced them all. Today, we will only focus on a few.

1. Embarrassment by Brothers: Me being the only girl and the youngest child out of six other brothers, have experienced this countless times. I've honestly lost count. Let me tell you one tale of mortification...

It was May 1st, and the sun was shining. The birds were chirping, there was a soft breeze in the air... spring was here. The willow looked inviting. Seeing that it was a Saturday and I didn't have classes, I slipped on a nice white sundress and went outside. As I was walking toward the willow, I heard voices... all too familiar voices...

"Congratulations, Harry! Today's your big day!"

"Yup! Fred's right, Harry, it really is a very special day! And with such nice weather, too!"

"I don't know what you guys are talking about." said a voice that made my heart flutter.

"Oh, come on Harry, don't act stupid! I just don't know why you didn't invite us!"

"Invite you where?"

"Oh, come on! Don't tell me you've forgotten! Oh no... you've forgotten, haven't you? You're going to be late! She's going to be sooooo mad..."

Who's she? What has he forgotten with this "she"? Has he gotten himself a date? Oh, please no!

"Has the air infected your brain or something? Maybe you should go lie down..."

"George, I think we've got to refresh his memory..."

"You're absolutely right, Fred!"

They started to sing...

"Here comes the bride... all dressed in white..."

I froze where I was. I couldn't move or speak. Married? My future husband is getting married? After a long silence, I finally heard Harry's shocked voice.

"You must have the wrong guy."

"No, no, seriously! Ginny swore that she'd marry you on the first of May when, and I quote, 'Spring is in the air, and the birds are singing, and all of the butterflies are all a-fluttery. We'll get married by the lake at Hogwarts, under the willow, and it'll be all romantic... and that wedding will end with me and Harry snogging, and he'll be all like-" Fred and George put on a cheap, high-pitched imitation of my voice-"Oh, Ginny, I looooooove you!"

I heard kissy noises coming from behind the willow. That was it. That was the final straw. I finally regained feeling in my legs, and some color went back to my face... a little too much color...

"FRED! GEORGE! I"M GOING TO BLOODY MURDER YOU, THEN TELL MUM ON YOU, THEN MURDER YOU AGAIN!" I was angry, not only because I as humiliated, but because what they said was a word-for-word quote that came out of my mouth when I was young and stupid... meaning two months ago when I was waltzing around my room, telling my fantasy to my teddy bear, thinking that I was alone...

"Oh, look! Here's the lucky bride now! Let's get a picture, George!"

"Indeed, Fred, Indeed! And such a lovely wedding gown!"

I looked down in horror at my white sundress.

I ran as fast as I could back to common room.

Solution: There really is none. Embarrassment will always come to you, whether you're looking for it or not. It will always find you, and there is no avoiding it. The truth, the sad, sad truth, is that You will never fully escape embarrassment. Whether you like it or not. What you CAN do is learn to let it go. Learn to laugh at yourself, learn to brush it off as if it's no big deal, even when is seems as if it is. Because you know what? Usually, it truly isn't a big deal, though it seems like the worst dilemma of your life. And sometimes, it IS a big deal. It really doesn't matter if it is or isn't, every time it happens, you WILL find yourself thoroughly humiliated and mortified. You really just need the three L's. Learn, Look back, and Laugh. Seriously. It will change your life. Learn from your mistakes. Look back on them and laugh, even when it's "too soon" Really. It works. Just remember your three L's. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS: When you look back, it truly won't be a big deal, not only because it passed, but also because there will always be a bigger case of embarrassment (that dwarfs the last one) coming your way.

Good? Bad? If you liked it, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and if you didn't, thanks for taking the time to read it!

I also want to say that this, on my short time as a registered fanfiction-er, has been my most successful story. I just want to say thank you SOOOOO much to my reviewers. I look in my e-mail inbox every day, hoping to see an e-mail from fanfiction! Also, many people wanted another chapter, but I have a small case of writer's block. What other kinds of embarrassment are there? Reviews concerning this small problem are greatly appreciated! Thank you all!
