Just a quick note, if anyone who enjoys reading my story, if you could draw me up some pics to go with the story I'd MUCH LOVE IT, haha ok ok ENJOY!
Ginny was shuffling her eggs across her plate, the only thing being consumed at the moment was the bacon, and that was mostly done by Luna. Ginny could feel the intense stare of Hermione from
across the Great Hall, the red head had been avoiding Hermione in hopes that she would just assume Ginny wasn't intrusted anymore and move on, however, that was not the case. Ginny seemed to
be playing a game of attack and evade in which Hermione would persistently try to get Ginny alone and Ginny would persistently be evading Hermiones tempting touches and words. It hurt even more
to see the pain in those liquid almond eyes, and she yearned to tell Hermione that she had her heart. 'I'm only protecting her any way...it's for her own good,' Ginny thought, her fingertip moving across
the glass edge of her pumpkin juice as the bustle of the Great Hall slowed and Ginny focused her mind on the way Hermonie's lips felt against her own, soft and warm, and enticing as ever. She was
dragged out of her teasing thoughts when a sharp pain was inflicted to her ear, "earth to Ginny!!!" Luna yelled directly into her ear after she flicked the tender spot with her fingertips. "God dammit
Luna, that fucking hurt! Why the hell did you do that!?" Ginny asked as an angry flush painted her cheeks her hand coming up to rub her ear tenderly scooting away from Luna on the bench. "I was
trying to ask you if you finished the potions homework, that five page essay on the Anamagous potion," Luna said, as if Ginny's question was the dumbest thing Luna had ever heard of. Fortunitly
Ginny had done the homework between drinking herself into oblivion and suffering through extended hours with Pavarti. 'Speak of the devil...' Ginny thought, her eyes finding the slim figure of Pavarti
leaning up against the door of the Great Hall. Upon making eye contact Pavarti turned and left, knowing very well that Ginny would follow; Ginny turned to looking at a disapproving, concerned Luna
who had spotted Pavarti as well, "Here Luna..just give it back to me before class, and learn to do your own damn homework for once..." Ginny said angrily under her breath rummaging through
her bag and handing Luna the parchment pages she had written her essay on as she got up fromt the Ravenclaw Table and headed for the door. Ginny could still feel Hermione's eyes on her back, and
she repressed the tears that begged to be released.
Ginny stuck her hands in the pockets of her cloak, her eyes cast down as she took the familiar path to the Room of Requirement. The corridor was vacant at the moment, studants either all canjoining
in the Great Hall for a quick chat and breakfast, or in the Library trying to get homework done last minute. She had on her familiar black aviators concealing the pain swimming in her sapphire eyes, she
stopped before she entered the corridor that would lead her to the Room of Requirement and into her own personal hell. Her back sagged against the warm stone of the wall, as if trying to comfort
her, but to no avail. One hand ran through her wild red locks that she had pinned up quickly, her other hand coming up to her lips as she tried to picture Hermione placing gentle kisses to them.
"Hermione..." Ginny moaned out under her breath as her hand slowly slide back down, biting her lower lip painfully, she closed her eyes letting another sigh escape her, she didn't have much to think
because her face connected with the pavement as Pavartis open hand connected with her cheek, a surprised Ginny falling to the floor. She was dragged back up and thrown against the wall Pavarti's
grip around her throat tightening "What have I said about using that name?" Pavarti asked, her voice cold and dripping with venom, Ginny said nothing, and instead turned her face away as Pavarti
drew closer to her. Surprisingly enough Pavarti waited until she had dragged Ginny fully inside the Room of Requirment, throwing her down on the hard floor, purposly missing the bed off in the cornor,
instead she hit her head on a pair of cuffs lying on the floor from when they were last thrown away.
Ginny stummbled out of the Room of Requirment fixing her tie and robes and bushing her hair off of her face, she had just spent an uneeded amount of time with Pavarti unwillingly partaking in the
girls twisted games. She would have to use some of her quidditch healing cream to hide the cuts and bruises that she was currently trying to hide under her robes. 'The things I do...to protect the ones I
love...' Ginny thought, her fingertips moving over the warm stone of the corridors. She wondered how long it would take her to brake this go around, she could already feel her current reverie braking.
Had she grown so weak so fast? She stopped at one of the arched opening that led to the court yard, a warm breeze pushing through the loose waves of her hair, her eyes moving slowly along the
contours of the trees, and rocks, a faint smile spread across her cheeks as she watched thick plumes of smoke rise from the large chimney of Hagrids hut. Her hand slowly rose to her chest, her
fingertips moving across her heart, she let out a deep breath, her eyes slowly closing 'as long as I keep Hermione in my heart...nothing...no one can hurt me...' She had to become stronger in order to
keep the front she had going on, and fight the battle she was always having with Pavarti. Her eyes tightend closed as she felt soft warm hands wrap around her waist, and that familiar scent that she
loved so much wash over her "Hermione.."
Hermione was on her last good nerve with the way Ginny was acting, it was obvious there was something wrong with her, and why Ginny did not just talk to her was beyond her comprehension.
Hermione had been watching Ginny in the Great Hall, it was all Hermione could do nowadays with the way Ginny was acting. All Hermione wanted to do was reach out and touch her..hold her and
never let go, she wanted Ginny to explain what was happening inside her heart. Then there was the other half of her that just wanted to throttle Ginny for taking a nose dive off the very end of her
last good nerve sending Hermione into a fit of aggrevation, love sickness, and utter confussion. It was safe to say that it wasn't the best of times for Hermione Granger. Her eyes followed Ginny from
over the book she was reading, her eyes moving along the length of the younger girl. 'I can't take it any longer!' As soon as Ginnys figure couldn't be seen beyond the Great Hall's large doors Hermione
shot up out of her seat sending her breakfast onto Harry's plate who was sitting across the table. Both boy's looked up at her as if she had to heads of some kind. "Blimey Mioney what the bloody
hell has gotten into you?" Asked Ron who's voice broke at the end of the sentance, "Sorry guys, I'm going to have to catch up to you later." Hermione left the table and as she rounded the cornor
out of the Great Hall she was immediatly stopped by Luna, who's firm arm surprised Hermione. "Luna? What are you doing?" Hermione asked, while trying to remove Luna's hand and failing miserably
"Do you really love Ginny? Because this game that she's playing for you is dangerous." Luna asked quizically, with a hint of frustration leaking into her tone; and for the first time, Hermione
couldn't lie, she supposed Luna had that affect on nearly anyone she came in contact with. "I don't know what is happening with Ginny and I, and I won't know untill I can get her to talk to me...I
don't know what's gotten into her..and I know that you know and won't tell me, so if you'll please..let me go...I need to find her." Hermione's voice was almost pleading as she gazed into Luna's
pale blue eyes that often reminded Hermione of a summer's sky. Luna's arm slowly loosend and pulled away, turning away from Hermione "Good luck, oh and you should hurry," and with that Luna
was gone, leaving Hermione to wonder briefly if Luna's strange behavior was due to her father's magazines.
Hermione had been walking around the corridors for what seemed like forever, she had even stopped off at Gryffindor Tower in hopes that she would find Ginny there, but to no luck 'it would be
impossible to find her now that I have no one preventing me.' Hermione had an intense headache growing behind her temples, and it felt like she was wondering around in circles looking for the
damnable woman. She was about ready to give up, when she turned down one of the many corridors leading to the library and found the woman who had been haunting her dreams standing in one
of the arched openings. It was as if her body new what to do more so then her mind, as her legs carried her silently torwards Ginny, her arms outstreched as she encircled them around the slender
younger female. Hermione let out a sigh as she felt Ginny press her back against her, and she could do nothing but press her forehead against the back of Ginny's neck and take in that alluring scent
that Ginny carried. "Hermione..." As the words escaped Ginny's lips all Hermione could do was hold onto her tighter, afraid that the moment was all some dream her mind had invented to ease the
troubles, and she was actually still wondering around lost to the world, but the warm comforting form pressing against her chest was reassuring enough. Suddenly Hermione couldn't take it anymore
and turned Ginny around in her arms, eager for the younger girl to erase the pain that was haunting her of being ignored and abandoned, her lips pressed hotly agains't Ginny's pushing the red head
against the arched colomn that they stood under. Hermione wanted Ginny now, and she would have it if it was the last thing she accomplished, however, she was stopped abruptly by a panting Ginny
whose hands clung shakily to Hermione's her eyes a storm of emotion's that Hermione had never seen "slowly...please...before I come to my senses..." Ginny's voice was close to cracking in her
attempt to hide back tears, and all Hermione could do was give in, as her lips connected once more with Ginny's.
The kiss was unlike any that either of them had ever experienced, and it felt as if the wind was gently encircling them, bringing them, if it was even possible even closer. Hermione didn't want it to end,
but she remembered why she had tracked down Ginny in the first place. She pulled back, which left both girls with brimming want in their eyes, and instinct still had it's hold over Hermione as she
brought her hand up and smacked Ginny, she shocked herself and her hand came up to press against her heart, it was as if she could feel Ginny's pain along with her own. "You haven't talked to
me...you haven't even acknowledged my existence for weeks, do you just want to use me and then leave!?" Hermione couldn't believe what was coming out of her own mouth, but once she
started she couldn't stop it, "Can't you see that I'm falling in love with you! Is this just a game to you? Answer me Ginny Weasley!" Hermione's hand swept over her mouth, unbelieving of what
she had just said 'did I just say that I..was falling in love with her...?" Hermione was speechless, and all she could do was watch Ginny for her reaction, her eyes sweeping over the other girls body. Her
eyes narrowed ever so slightly as she lingered on the edges of fresh cuts and black blue marks on Ginny's wrists and neck 'what is going on here...' Hermione was now only only confused, and most
likely hopelessly in love with a girl who was as crazy as a roller coaster, but was worried as well for Ginny's well being, she suddenly felt guilty for hitting the girl just moments ago. "How..how could
you be in love with me..your dating my brother remember..and besides...have you ever considered this was all a game to me?" Ginny said, and if Hermione didn't know Ginny she would have
thought those words true, but she knew in her heart that Ginny would never hurt her like that. "Ginny, I know you better then anyone, don't lie to me..you owe me that much," she sighed stepping
closer and tracing her fingertips along one of the bruises on Ginny's neck.
"Who did this to you..please Ginny talk to me, you've been running away from me for weeks, it's tearing both of us apart, just end both of our suffering's and tell me whats wrong..." It was all
Hermione could say, Ginny and her had been dancing around each other, and after all of the emotional break down's Hermione had experienced since the summer, she was tired and just wanted Ginny
to come to her senses and talk to her, they were friends first, before anything else and all Hermione wanted Ginny to do was respect that if nothing else mattered. Her hand stopped on Ginny's
shoulder honey eyes connecting with sapphire orbs.
Ginny was willing to ignore the unaswered question about Ron because of the sudden confession of love. Hermione was really falling in love with her? It was all Ginny ever dreamed about, and now
the opportunity to claim what she so desperatly wanted was slipping away, right out of the palm of her hands because she was so afraid for Hermione's well being. Hermione didn't know the cruelty
that was Pavarti, and Ginny did not want her to find out. It hurt Ginny enough knowing that Hermione had already seen in her in a weakend state of mind during that little locker room incident. Ginny's
arms wrapped snuggling around Hermione's slender waist, her eyes closing as she leaned in to place a soft fleeting kiss to Hermione's cheek. Her words came out in bairly a whisper, her lips grazing
Hermione's ear "I love you Ginny..and I will continue to always love you.." Ginny was going to tell Hermione the repeated mantra that she had been tell the girl for the last few days, but what
ended up coming out was something she did not expect at all "Be with me Hermione..be with me." Ginny could feel Hermione tense within her arms, and Ginny was afraid to pull back for several
reasons, one being that she was afraid of what Hermione might say, and the other was that the utterly shocked expression on her face would give her away that she had not ment to say that. 'Way to
go Gin your on the one way path to an utter meltdown, but I guess the heart knows better on these matters then any other force of magic.' Slowly Ginny loosend her arms the had subconciously tightend
around Hermione's waist, her eyes once more looking for those soft honey eyes. Hermione stepped forward and Ginny's back hit the wall, soft lips touched hers for the second time "Yes.." Hermione's
lips deepend and the kiss became something intoxicating "yes.." Ginny could feel a river of warmth enfold itself within and around her heart, staining her cheeks a soft pink "with everything that is
inside of me..yes..." Hermione pulled back, and in that moment neither was concerned about bruises or relationships, the fire behind both of their eyes igniting.
They paid no mind to anyone who might have been in the Common Room, both girls were so intoxicated with each others touch that the outside world became a figment of their imaginations. Each had
a feeling of deja vu as Ginny pinned Hermione against the door of her room, Ginnys breath caught in her throat as Hermione's fingertips grazed the skin under her shirt, she could feel Hermione taking
control and for once it didn't bother her. Ginny walked backwards, Hermione guideing her to the bed, they feared that pulling away would brake the spell the was wrapped around them. Bodies
pressed against each other, a heat so intense burning inside each of them, hands caressing, and lips teasing each tried to sate an unquenchable thrist for the other. Hermione was the one to stop
though as Ginny's hands tugged at the button on her skirt. "I won't sleep with you yet.. because I'm afraid, and it scares me even now that I can admit that to you...please..can we wait?"
Hermione's voice was thick with lust, and Ginny was utterly surprised that she had that much will power, a faint smile crossed her lips as Ginny's arms wraped securly around Hermione's waist bringing
Hermione's forehead to rest against her own "very well..what about Ron?" It was a question that needed to be answered, and Ginny would take anything right now if Hermione would just say what
she wanted. "I'll take care of it...it'll take some time Ginny, I don't know if I can add the world knowing I'm a lesbian with all the other stress around me right now...but please Ginny, please
let me be with you..." Ginny could hear the pleading, the want in Hermione's voice, with out saying anything right away Ginny rolled onto her side, bringing Hermione down beside her, her fingertips
moving along the soft arch of her chin. "Alright...besides..I have some other business I need to take care of anyway...we have to keep this secret Hermione, under no circumstances must you say
anything without telling me first...its for your own good." If Ginny was going to do this she needed to make sure that she could prevent Hermione from getting hurt by Pavarti. They both silently
agreed to the terms, content to skip the rest of the days classes in favor of laying within each others embrace, besides they both could afford a day off any way. All the while a singular thought
puntuated Ginnys mind 'How am I going to pull this of....'
