A Little Secret
Rated M for a reason, slash fic.
"Ginny… I have something to tell you…" I grasped the sides of my chair, and my breathing increased slightly.
"Go on, I'm all ears." Ginny smiled at me as she stroked Cruickshanks delicately, tucking a strand of her red hair behind her ear. She was completely at ease. She had no idea how my news would shock her…
"I-I..." I stuttered, opening and closing my mouth like a fish, finding it hard to utter the words. I had wanted to first ease into the subject... start slow… Maybe not complicate things too much…
But no, my heart wouldn't let me.
"Ginny, I'm in love with you."
Cruickshanks yelped, and leaped out of Ginny's white arms. Ginny stared at me, confusion and shock written all over her face. "Wh-what?"
"Nothing… Just nothing. Forget I said anything." I gathered my books and rushed for the dormitory, tears leaving hot streaks down my face.
