Cherry Blossoms By Alan's Only AND Arlena Biotch Chapter 1"Hermione" whispered Ginny from beside her. Hermione slowly turned her head away from the book in her lap.
"What?" she whispered back.
"I have a real muggle cootie catcher!" said Ginny with smile on face. Sometime she remanded Hermione of her father in so many ways.
"What?" Hermione asked raising an eyebrow.
"You know the hand game that tell who are going to marry! But I changed it show who is heart's greatest desire." Ginny said with a smile, her voice low. So much like her dad…
"Oh…No deviation. Right?" asked Hermione.
"None," said Ginny. "You answer some questions and then it shows you your deepest want…Deepest need." Ginny said. She pulled out a folded paper; it was dark purple with cherry blossoms on it.
"Alright," said Hermione she turned from the seat in the library to look at Ginny better. Ginny handed Hermione the paper.
A question appeared and she answered. After each question the paper unfolded itself. Soon there was but one question left. Hermione could feel the paper probe her mind as she thought of an answer. Finally she muttered "yes". The paper started to spin and it glowed a bright pink. Ginny had a grin on her face, as Hermione's eyes grew wide. Suddenly a name appeared in front of her eyes. However, they were not there for when she reached up to push them away in disbelief they didn't budge. They just burned brighter.
"Ginny what's going on?" asked Hermione. The only reason her voice was quite was for the library's sake.
"Did the words appear?" asked Ginny. Hermione nodded in agreement.
"They won't go away!" Hermione said closing her eyes. The words burned in her eyelids.
"You have to accept them!" said Ginny getting worried.
"I can't…I wont!" said Hermione, sweat forming on her forehead.
"You have to or you will go blind!" said Ginny.
"Oh what a lovely thing to not say in the beginning!" hissed Hermione
The light from the words, name, glowed even brighter they stung her eyes and burned her head.
"FINE" Hermione yelled. Ginny covered Hermione mouth as she started to scream.
No one had ever reacted like this. Ginny prayed that Hermione would be all right. Once her screaming stopped Hermione opened her eyes they were a lot different they where dark almost black but they where not black just a deep brown.
"Hermione are you all right?" asked Ginny.
"Muph", Hermione tried to talk but Ginny's hand still held fast. Ginny let go with a smile. "Yes" said Hermione again.
"What was so terrible that you didn't want to except it? Did you see Victor?" asked Ginny. She was the only one that Hermione had ever told about what Victor did to make Hermione dump him.
"No…" Hermione said rubbing her eyes. Once open they where back to their normal color. Ginny was happy about that.
"Then who?" asked Ginny her curiosity got the better of her. She smirked.
"You swear on your soul you will NEVER even breath a word! Evenifsomebodyistorturingyou!" said Hermione in a rush her face was red from the tirade.
"I swear! On my Brothers' grave!" said Ginny she held out her pinky to Hermione.
Hermione, for a second, felt pain for the girl in front of her. She was the last one in the long line of the Weasley bloodline. Her and her mother where the only ones that lived threw the last battle: Arther, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Percy, and Ron had all fallen. Even now the bloodline was to stop.
Hermione smiled and grabbed her pinky with her own. She bright her mouth close to Ginny's ear.She whispered the name into it. Ginny's eyes went wide. Once Hermione pulled away Ginny's jaw dropped.
"How?" she whispered, "But I thought…" she whispered.
"I know, love…so did I," said Hermione. She hugged Ginny. Her girlfriend.
After the war a lot of things changed. Hermione's whole family was killed. Ginny's mom welcomed Hermione into her home with opened arms. Hermione and Ginny had grown closer over the summer until Ginny had confessed that she was in love with Hermione. Molly didn't even know. Ginny knew how badly her mom would feel that the bloodline would end with her. However, Ginny didn't care. Hermione was rather scared at the thought of being a lesbian but after a while it grew on her. Her first time was with Ginny and she didn't know what a man felt like. Nevertheless, Hermione grew to love Ginny. She knew what to do. Really, she didn't even know why females liked to have sex with males if not to have children.
"You can't want him!" said Ginny, and tears filled her eyes. She pushed Hermione away.
"I don't feel like I do…" said Hermione looking down at her lap. "I need to think. I'll see you in the morning." said Hermione she packed her things in to her bag and walked up to Gryffindor tower. Luckily she had her own room. Though once she entered it everything reminded her of Ginny. Tears started to spill from her eyes as well. She needed to go some where that wouldn't remind her of Ginny.
She walked back out of the tower and down the marble staircase. She was about to walk out side but it was to cold to go out only in a tanktop and sweat pants. She turned and ran she didn't care where she ran to, she just lets her feet and legs take her were ever they wanted to. Her eyes were to full of tears by the time she reached the piercing cold. She opened the nearest door. The tears fell and she cried harder. She tried to walk father in to the room but her sobs made her body weak she collapsed in a heap on the floor. The coldness seemed to envelop her and shocked her into sleep.
Strong arms wrapped around her but they made sure not to disturb her sleeping form. The owner looked down at the girl and clicked his tongue.
It's to far into the winter for a young girl to be down in the dungeons with only thin muggle clothes on...He thought. He walked her in to the next room. He some how handled her in one arm and pulled out his wand. He shot a couple of spells around the room. A fire started in the hearth, a chair by the fire became a bit bigger and more comfortable. The man put Hermione on the chair and transfigured his outer robes in to a warm black blanket. She snuggled up to it and wiggled her way in to the chair.
A very faint smile came to the male's lips, but was gone as fast as it came. Hermione whimpered and held the robe-blanket closer. She sighed and hugged it. The male gulped and sat down on the chair next to her. He looked in to the fire and listened to the little sounds Hermione made.
How would Miss Granger feel when she wakes and finds the evil potions master is taking care of a 'know-it-all' he thought. He yawned. His eyes slowly closed.
"Ginny please don't leave!" yelled Hermione. Ginny turned and looked at Hermione in pain.
"Just go back to him!" Ginny yelled in return. Her flaming red hair fell into her eyes.
"I don't wait him! I wait you!" yelled Hermione
"No you don't…" said Ginny.
"Yes I do." said Hermione strongly. She tried to hug Ginny but she pushed away. She then spun around, and ran away. Hermione fell to her knees. Suddenly strong arms picked her up and carried her some where. They sat her down and covered her in warmth.
Slowly Hermione came to. The warmth of the blanket over her felt nice. The smell tickled her nose; it was a strange arrangement of sweet lemons and a spicy smell almost like 'Old Spice'. A smile came to here lips. She looked around and the smile faded, fast. She was in a place she had never been before. Her eyes landed on a sleeping form next to her.
His black hair covered his face. Hermione yawned and sat up. The blanket fell off and on to the floor; the fire had died down Hermione noticed once she stood. There was a chill in the air. Hermione picked back up the blanket and wrapped it around her shoulders.
She walked over to the male and looked down at him his hair covered his face as well. Hermione smiled and moved his hair from his face. She gasped and backed away. She could tell he was starting to stir. Hermione quickly left.
Why did he have to find me! She thought she held the blanket to her not thinking twice. She ran up the staircases to the Gryffindor tower. She muttered the password to the Fat lady.
"You're missing breakfast," she said as she opened.
Hermione ignored her and entered the common room. No one was in there. She walked to the portrait of a cherry blossom tree with a lake next to it. There was a beautiful small sun fairy on a red rose. Hermione whispered her love's name and no, it was not her hearts so called 'greatest desire'.
The little fairy smiled and the portrait swung open. Hermione walked in and fell onto her bed. She had forgotten about the blanket until now. She rolled and got tangled in it. She rolled again and fell off of her bed.
"Owe" she moaned she got up and the blanket fell. She huffed and threw it on to a chair. She laid back down on her bed and fell asleep.
Her dreams where plagued with the visions of the name and their owner...
She didn't have to wake up anytime that day because it was right in the middle of the Christmas holidays.
