Author Notes: Recently, I've been dabbling with drabbles (fics that are exactly 100 words), and I thought I'd post a few of them here. They will be of various ships, genres, and subject matters. Many of them will have spoilers. The rating should not exceed T; if it does, I will update the series with the new rating. Enjoy!
This one is a missing scene from "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire."
Finding His Courage
Looking at his reflection, he could see tiny beads of sweat on his forehead. His heart was racing; his stomach lurched again, but there was nothing left in it. "You can do this," he said and reached for the bathroom door.
But he couldn't quite open it.
"What am I so afraid of?" Frustrated, he sighed. "Besides, if I don't ask her, surely Harry will—"
Motivated by fear of loss, he panicked and fled his sanctuary.
He felt oddly detached from his body when he said, "Ginny, w-would you . . . go to the Yule Ball with me?"
The End
Notes: Hope the subject matter hasn't been 'done to death'...as always, feedback is appreciated!
