Non-Traditional Pairing Bootcamp: Prompt Used - Necklace
356 Days of Drabbles Challenge: Prompt Used – Nervous
Astoria fingers her necklace, the only sign of how nervous she is.
She takes a deep breath, watching Ginny Weasley. She knows she wants the redhead. It doesn't matter that Ginny is an uncouth Gryffindor. One can't control the heart, and hers speeds up whenever Ginny is nearby.
She's known for almost a year that she was attracted to females. She has never been attracted to a male, so she doesn't know whether that exists for her. She might not have met the right male to awaken her body, yet, but she has definitely met the right female.
She knows she'll one day have to marry ad produce an heir, but right now, she's allowed to explore her sexuality, something she wants to take advantage of.
Astoria readies herself, about to ask Ginny to be her date to Hogsmeade, when a boy, another Gryffindor, comes up to her crush. When they kiss, Astoria knows that she doesn't have a chance with Ginny.
She'll watch the two of them. They can't last while Ginny still looks longingly at Potter. Maybe when it ends, Astoria can sweep in there and comfort Ginny in her heartbreak. Maybe then something will happen. It might be underhanded to take advantage of Ginny at such a weak moment, but even if Astoria feels something for the Gryffindor, Astoria is still a Slytherin at heart. She'll do whatever she can to get what she wants.
