Nobody Like You

AN: This originally started out as a Hermione/Ginny story but then I decided to change it, liking the pairing of Hermione and Fleur a little bit more (no throwing of things please) and I've already written two stories of Hermione and Ginny together. They stay as best friends here but I might give Ginny someone to play with ;). Characters and the Harry Potter universe belong to J.K. Rowling and WB, I just like to string them up and watch them dance. Any and all mistakes are mine unless you don't like the character in general, then oh well.

This story contains femslash (should be obvious by the pairing) but just as a reminder, there is lesbian (and possible gay, haven't decided) sexual content and swearing from time to time. I'm always happy to receive feedback and any comments, questions, concerns, or even suggestions are welcome. If you flame because you don't like LGBT, why are you even here. There's a back arrow button at the top. You are more than welcome to use it. Otherwise, read on dear readers and hopefully enjoy :)

Chapter 1

The wind whips through her hair, relaxing and soothing after a long morning of studying. The upcoming mid-terms are stressing her out, making her sometimes snap at her friends. Normally, studying is what she lives for but lately, she'd rather fly around.

Nobody would've guessed that Hermione Granger can actually operate a broom, let alone like flying one.

In first year, she was terrified to even touch a broom, preferring her feet on the ground and a stack of books in her arms.

Quickly performing a right hairpin turn, the brunette heads for a clump of trees on the opposite of the Black Lake of the castle and begins to slalom between them, coming very close to taking herself out with more than one branch.

Exiting the trees, Hermione steers the broom back over the lake, heading towards the Quidditch pitch, gently skimming the water briefly. Touching down on the soft green grass, Hermione quickly hops off the broom and sneaks back into the broom cupboard to put the broom away. Pulling a brush from her robes, she quickly runs it through her thick, bushy hair, flattening down the flyaway locks.

Repocketing the brush, Hermione heads back to the castle and back up to the Gryffindor dormitories, where Harry and Ron are playing a game of Exploding Snap and Ginny is in one of the armchairs, reading QuidditchThrough The Ages.

Dropping herself in the chair beside Ginny's, Hermione sighs, feeling better after her flight.

Ginny looks up from her book and over at her bushy-haired friend, who happens to be sporting slightly wind-burnt cheeks.

"You okay 'Mione?" Ginny asks, wondering where her friend has been.

"Yeah. Just went for a little walk around the lake to relax after studying so much. Whatcha reading?" Hermione asks, already knowing the answer.

Ginny blushes and pulls out a magazine from inside the book, surprising Hermione. The red head only shows the top part of the magazine but the bookworm can see the faces of two girls pressed very close together.

"Ginny!"Hermione whispers urgently, not wanting to actually yell and cause attention to herself.

Ginny's blush deepens, clashing horribly with her hair, and she hides the magazine back inside the book again.

Hermione leans her head closer to Ginny's and begins whispers furiously. "Gin, what you doing with that? And in broad daylight in the Common Room? Are you insane? What if Ron or Harry sees?" Hermione doesn't really know how to process this. She would never stop being Ginny's friend or anything but this just baffled her.

Ginny grins and lays a reassuring hand on Hermione's arm.

"'Mione, relax. Who do you think gave me this?" Ginny admits.

Now the bookworm is really confused. Why would Ginny want a porn magazine with girls in it? Unless...

"Gin..." Hermione begins, and looks around the room before continuing in a lower whisper, "are you...gay?"

Ginny's blush is back and worse than before.

"Umm...yeah I am," Ginny confesses.

Hermione is flabbergasted. Not in a bad way, just shocked.

"Oh...umm...that's great Gin," Hermione says weakly, feeling kind of faint from the slightly lack of breathing due to the shock.

"Are you mad or disgusted?" Ginny asks, very worried about her friend's reaction.

"No, no, just shocked is all."

Ginny feels that Hermione is on the verge of freaking out and she is scared of losing her best friend because of her confession. Hermione thinks over her words and realizes that it sounded like she's freaking out, so she gets out of her chair and kneels in front of Ginny.

"Gin, honestly, it's okay. It just kind of caught me off guard, alright," Hermione says, soothing Ginny's slightly frazzled nerves.

Ginny smiles and leans forward. Her brunette friend responds and envelops her best friend in warm, comforting hug.

Out of nowhere, a male voice startles the girls making them separate slowly, and face the interruption.

"Hey Hermione, can I borrow your Potions notes? Seamus kind of set mine on fire," Ron asks, soot marks on his nose and forehead.

Ginny starts to giggle, not entirely sure why, but her brother's face is funny to look at. Hermione smiles at Ginny and then turns back to Ron, sighing.

"Yeah you can. Just don't set them on fire as well. Hang on, a moment ago, you were playing Exploding Snap. What happened?"

"Oi, I didn't set anything of fire. Seamus was working on his Charms homework and blew half the dorm up. And we were up there getting my chess set."

Walking up from behind Ron, Harry is just as dishevelled with soot on his face and arms and burn marks on his robes.

"I think that we should take Seamus' wand from him," Harry comments, remembering all the times that Seamus has set different things on fire, twice in first term in first year.

Ginny giggles more, her face taking on a reddish tinge.

"Gin, you alright?" Ron asks, wondering if his sister is having a fit or something.

Composing herself slightly, Ginny puts on a straight face to answer. "Yeah, I'm good. I think that I just need some fresh air."

Hermione jumps to her feet. "Gin, if it's alright, would you mind if I join you right after I get my notes for Ron?" she asks, wanting to talk more with Ginny about the new information that she found out.

"Yeah, sure. Go get them now and then we'll head out."

Hermione smiles at Ginny again and then with a quick "wait here" to Ron, she runs up the stairs to the girl's dormitory and gets her Potions notes and heads just as quickly back down the stairs. Handing her notes to Ron, she grabs Ginny's hand and pretty much pulls her out of the room and into the halls of the castle.

AN2: So what did you guys think? Should I post more or change it? FEEDBACK! :D
