Chapter 1
It was the end of Hermione's six year at Hogwarts when she finally decided she would tell Ginny how she felt about her. So when they were packing Hermione walked up to Ginny and asked "can I talk to you Ginny?" Ginny's reply was "of course you can, what's up?" "Ginny I don't know how to say this but…" Hermione trailed off not knowing how to continue then Ginny says "what were you saying Hermione?" then Hermione continued "oh sorry Ginny, ever since I saw you for the very first time, I've been in love with you." Ginny was shocked with what Hermione had just revealed to her. Then Ginny responded with "I don't know what to say but I just want to know do you really mean that?" Hermione replied "yes Ginny I really mean that, Ginny I can understand if you don't want to talk to me but I just had to tell you." Ginny walked closer to Hermione then hugged her and said "I would never, not talk to you." The hug lingered for longer than it should with friends but neither one pulled away. After a few more minutes Hermione pulled away from the hug and said "I am sorry Ginny but at the moment I can't deal with these emotions I have around you if you can't return them, then I'll have to leave for a while to sort my head out." Just before Hermione was going to leave Ginny spoke up "what if I've had those sae emotions in my head since I first saw you but was too much of a coward to say anything to you." Hermione just went to her knees then said "I wouldn't leave but I would ask why tell me now when u could have Harry?" Ginny responded "I don't know I think that it was mainly me afraid that you didn't feel the same way about me." By now Ginny was knelt down in front of Hermione. "And I'm in love with you not Harry" Ginny's eyes we threatening tears now.
Hermione got up and pulled Ginny up with her. Then said "me, Harry, and Ron aren't going to be at Hogwarts after the summer, Dumbledore left Harry a job to do and me and Ron are going to help him." Ginny then said "I want you to be my girlfriend, so will you?" Hermione replied "yes, but I want you to come with us after the summer." Then Ginny replied "I would go anywhere with you, but u have to do a ritual with me that binds to lovers souls together." "Of course Ginny I want you to be with me always" so Hermione and Ginny preformed the ritual and their souls were binded together for life.
