This is my first ever story, so please dont go too hard on me.
Mystery Girl
Hermione Granger was sitting infront of the mirror, she was meant to be preparing for what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. However, nothing about this moment felt happy. Yes, she loved Ron, but she wasn't in love him, it was more of a brotherly love. So, the night Ronald Weasley got down on one knee infront of the whole family, she said yes! It was expected of her, but she could still not shake the feeling that in just four hours time, she was about to make the biggest mistake of her life.
The truth was her heart belonged to someone else, someone who for nearly ten years, she taught of as a sister. The ironic thing was, this particular woman was the sister of her fiancee... Ginerva Weasley! Ginny, her best friend, her Maid of Honour, has been constantly in her thoughts since she told Hermione a secret five months ago.
Flash back
The pair promised on the last night at Hogwarts that they would both always put in the effort to remain best friends, that no matter how busy they were with work and life in general, that they would meet up at least once a week, prefering muggle coffe shops and bars rather than the wizarding world so to keep out of the public eye.
With Ginny being the lead Chaser for the Holyhead Harpies and Hermione who was Head of Magical Law Enforcement at the Ministry for Magic, they both had very busy lifestlyes, but stuck to their word, and met up every Saturday.
"So", Hermione said, taking a drink of wine, "How is training going? Coach still giving all the players a hard time about losing against the ChudleysCannons?"
Ginny nodded and sighed, "Yes, we have to be on the pitch at six sharp every morning for the next month! I know it was an embarrassing loss, but Coach really is starting to piss me off! I have no social life, my love life is completely non - existent, well... apart from Harry trying to convince me, that he's the love of my life, and there is NO way i'm going back there. I made the right desision going off men."
Hermione who was taking a sip of her wine, coughed and ended up spluttering the drink all over Ginny's face at the last statement her best friend had just told her. Looking at Ginny with a confused expression, who was wiping her face with an napkin looking very amused, "Define going off men... We were sitting at this very same table three weeks and you were telling me about this mystery guy you've being seeing"
"Mystery girl Hermione", Ginny said, thourghly enjoying the look of pure shock on her best friends face.
Still very much in shock, it took a whole minute for Hermione to remember that Ginny was sitting across from her waiting for her reaction. "How? When?", Looking at her friend, who out all the women she knew, Ginny Weasley was the last person she would of thought of to be a lesbian.
"Didn't i tell you i was seeing a girl?" asked Ginny, frowning thoughtfully. Wondering how she kept the fact that she was gay for so long.
"Eh, no," Hermione answered slowly. Incapable of saying anything else at that moment.
Ginny looked at her best friend nervously, no longer amused by her reaction. this was not the reaction she was hoping for. Thinking of how to explain, she cautiously took Hermione's hand in her own, hoping she wouldn't freak her out. Taking it as good sign that she hadn't snatched her hand away, she began, "Look i'm sorry i didn't tell you, i haven't told anyone. With my Mother pushing me to go back to Harry, marry him and start family. But... but that's not what i want, at least not with Harry. As for when? I don't know, i guess i always knew but only figured it out when i was 15. Whenever i got close to being intimate with a boy, i tensed, i could never bring myself to go through with it." With Hermione still looking at her with a blank expression on her face, she decided to continue, " And i always wanted to go to you to talk about it, but i was afraid, scared that i'd freak you out and you wouldn't want anything to do with me. I couldn't bear if that happened, if I... if I lost you, i wouldn't know what to do. After F-Fred died, Hermione you found me and you saved me, i hate to think where i'd be if i didn't have you in my life."
Hermione sat taking in everything Ginny had just said, deeply moved by the last few things her friend had said. This is mad! How could i have missed that my bestfriend, who i have known for 10years is gay, AND how could she think that i would hate her?Does she really think i'm closed minded? Seeing that the red head was close to tears she snapped out of thoughts and gave her hand a bit of a squeeze,"Ginny" Hermione began, "I could never, never hate you. Your my best friend and i love you, and you could never freak me out. I just wish that you could of trusted me and confided in me, this must of been awful having to hide who you really are all these years, keeping it to yourself. Listen to me now, i'm not going anywhere, you wont lose me. In five months we're going to be family!" A new emotion flashed across the younger witches face at the mention of her impending marriage, that looked like pain. Why would the mention of me marrying Ron cause Ginny to hurt... She hardly has feelings for... No! Ginny has never showed me any signs that she has less than platonic feelings for me. Deciding to keep going, "Besides Ginny Weasley, I wouldn't know what to do with you either, we saved each other. After Bellatrix, well i wouldn't be sitting here with you right now, if you didn't help me through it."
"You really dont mind?" asked a worried Ginny, but allowing herself to smile slightly.
"Mind? No... Shocked, hell yes!" said a smirking hermione. "So... tell me all about that girl you were seeing?"
End of flash back
It started as a crush after Ginny's confession. But after spending alot more time with the red head organising the wedding, the brunettes feelings began to grow. Intead of dreaming of the walking up the aisle and seeing Ron standing at the alter, it was Ginny she sees everytime she closes her eyes! No matter what she does to try and bury these feelings, they only become stronger, and she can no longer deny that she has fallen head over heels in love with Ginerva Molly Weasley.
Hearing footsteps coming up the stairs, she furiously started to wipe away the tears streaming down her face, angry with herself for not even realising she was crying and also wondering what her future mother in law would say if she saw the brunette crying on her wedding day. The door swung open and Ginny walked in, her face quickly looking like one of concern.
"Hermione tell me what's wrong? Did something happen?" asked a worried Ginny wrapping her arms around her friend who had started to sob uncontrollably.
"I ca- I cant do this G-Gin, I dont love him, I-I do love him but i'm not in love with him" Hermione admitted out loud for the first time. "I need to get out of here, this house, this room, I feel... I feel like i'm suffocating. That i cant breathe living this lie." Clinging to the red head, waiting for her to respond. Instead the next thing she felt herself being spun around and a flying sensation, opening her eyes to find herself in Ginny's living room."Why are we in your flat?" Hermione asked looking around confused.
"You said you need to get away from the Burrow, now tell me where this is coming from Hermione. Your supposed to be getting married in a few hours, what happened?" Ginny asked softly, still holding on to the brunette in a tight hug.
"Why aren't you angry? You should be yelling at me telling me that the most horrible person in the world. I just told you that i cant marry your brother on our wedding day and you comforting me." asked a very confused Hermione.
"I could never be angry with you Hermione, I've never being able to." Ginny answered in a quiet voice.
"I've fallen in love with someone else." Hermione blurted out. Feeling the younger witch tense at this, shifting to look into Ginny's eyes she hesitantly kept going, "And i dont know what to do, because i know they'll never feel the same way. I only said yes to Ron because it's what was expected of me, and even though i'm not in love with him, i do love him as a best friend and he's safe. He loves me, and i'll never find anyone else to love me, i'm not beautiful or even pretty, i'll always be the know it all bookworn, i dont even know how Ron puts up with me."
'How can she think she's not beautiful' Ginny thought immediatly, wondering who could not love the amazing girl she has in her arms. "Listen to me Hermione Jean Granger," seeing the frightened look on the older womans face at the use of her full name she quickly continued, " never ever let me hear you put yourself down that way, you ARE beautiful Hermione and i can tell by the look on your face now that you dont believe me. But your the most beautiful person i know, inside and out, And if this guy doesn't love you back, it's their loss. The person that has your heart, would be the luckiest person in world." Ginny finished, holding on tighter as Hermione started crying again.
"It-it isn't a guy." Hermione told a dumbstruck Ginny.
"You… you're not gay, are you?" Ginny asked, the frown now fading into a surprised look.
"No," Hermione said quickly, looking uncertain. "I mean… I don't know what I am."
"Oh" Ginny said quietly. "Since when?" Please... PLEASE let it be me, this is what I've wanted for six years.
"Five months." The brunette answered in a soft tone. Just tell her, she's your best friend, even if she doesnt feel the same way she wont hate you.
Not knowing if she really wanted to know the answer, but NEEDING to know! "Hermione can i ask who it is?"
"I-It's you. Ginny i'm in love with you" Hermione answered, looking away from Ginny's gaze, terrified of her reaction.
Feeling a burst of happiness, that Ginny never even believed was possible to feel that much, she carefully tilted Hermione's chin so she had no choice but to look into her eyes, wishing Hermione could read her mind, so she would know that she was after making all the red heads dreams come true in one sentence. Giving the older woman a small smile and before she knew it her lips were on Hermione's in what began as a very innocent kiss, soft lips moving against each other. It soon deepened as Ginny traced Hermione's bottom lip with her tongue, begging for entry to her mouth which was granted almost immediatly. After several minutes Ginny broke the kiss, unable to stop smiling.
"I have been in love with you for six years Hermione Jean Granger" said Ginny in a soft voice. Then laughing softly at the shocked look on the older womans face.
Hermione just sat there in disbelief, not quite sure if she was dreaming or not.
"Six years?"
Ginny could only nod 'yes'.
All Hermione could think of doing in that moment was closing the short distance between them and claiming Ginny's lips in a passionate kiss, knowing she'd never grow tired of the intoxicating taste that was Ginny Weasley. Lying back and pulling Ginny on top of her she ran her finger tips under the material of the red heads shirt relishing in the feel of how soft her skin was.
Trailing kisses down Hermione's jawline to her neck, nipping at her pulse point earning a moan. Sitting up slightly when she felt Hermione tugging at the hem of her shirt allowing her to remove it completely. She jumped up pulling the brunette with her as they made their way into the bedroom.
Hermione felt herself being gently pushed onto the bed, and was so lost in the passion that she could barely recall how they both ended up in nothing but there underwear.
"Are you sure this is what you want?" Ginny asked worried that Hermione may end up regretting this after.
"Yes please, Ginny, I want this, I want you!" Answered Hermione breathlessly, loving the feel of the younger womans bare skin against her own.
"I love you" Ginny said, placing her lips hard against Hermiones, kissing her way down Hermione's neck and chest and taking a nipple into her mouth, flicking it with her tongue and sucking it gently while kneading the other hardened nipple with her fingers.
"Oh wow, this feels amazing" Hermione said between moans, getting wetter and wetter while Ginny set her skin on fire with her hands and mouth.
Moving her head away from Hermione's breasts, she looked into those gorgeous dark brown eyes and seeing the lust reflecting in her own, slowly moving her hand down Hermione's sides, over her hip, into her underwear down to brunettes sex and rested two fingers on her clit and began to rub in small circles.
"God Gin, please dont stop"
Ginny removed her hand to quickly take of the last remaining bit of clothing from her lovers body, unable to believe that anyone or anything could be so beautiful. Trailing kisses all the way down her body to kneel between the brunettes legs, lowering head to lick the lenght of her sex mesmerized by the taste, feel and sound of the woman she's wanted for so long.
Concentrating on sucking on her lovers clit, she eased one finger inside Hermione and started to pump in and out of the panting brunette before easily sliding in a second finger.
"Fuck, faster Gin please"
Increasing her speed, while frantically flicking her tongue over her clit, she felt her inner walls clamp down on her fingers, she thrust her fingers once more and Hermione came moaning Ginny's name over and over while she collapsed back on the bed. Ginny made her way back up Hermione's body and captured her lips in a heart felt kiss.
"That was bloody amazing." Said a breathless Hermione's still coming down off the effects off her high. "I love you Ginny, so much"
With tears of joy welling up in her eyes Ginny pulled Hermione into her arms and whispered "I love you, too, Hermione Granger, with every beat of my heart.
