Harry Potter belongs to J.K. Rowling.
introductions
Hermione can't remember the exact moment she was introduced to Ginny, but she can remember the powerful emotions she felt upon looking up from her toes and into the other girls' face.
She had never felt something like that before. Granted, she was 12 – fresh out of her first year of Hogwarts – but she thought she had felt attraction already. She thought she knew what it was all about. After all, all of the older students of Gryffindor whispered and smiled knowingly when she and Ron walked and talked together. She took her cues from that – admitting a crush when asked about the youngest Weasley boy.
When she looked at Ginny Weasley for the first time, she knew better. Her attraction to Ron had been fabricated, fueled by what she thought was normal – she was supposed to fall for her best friend. Not his sister.
Regardless of what she may have believed, Hermione could not deny her attraction to the younger girl. When she looked at Ginny, she felt a jolt of excitement run through her, followed by a slight increase in her heart rate. When Ginny smiled at her, her palms began to sweat. This was something that would never change.
