Chapter Three - A Helping Hand.
Later that evening, Ginny was sitting quietly in the dormitory. Her friends had found her and they had all gossiped and giggled once more. Ginny left quite relaxed. Even Professor McGonagall had popped in to see her. Hagrid had obviously told her about Ginny, so had rather sweetly dropped in to check.
"Harry..." she whispered to herself once alone again. "I almost killed you, now you're trying to kill me!"
"Ginny?" whispered Hermione by her ear. Ginny turned with a start. "It's okay Ginny. Hagrid told me about the Snaggle...So how do you feel?"
Ginny sighed. "I feel fine. I guess we should talk about Harry now..."
"Of course. I'd love to help, you know that Ginny."
Ginny curled up in Hermione's arms and sighed. Hermione felt a bit awkward. "Erm, Ginny? Shall we go somewhere private for a chat?" But Ginny was too busy crying to hear her. Hermione patted her until Ginny was done.
"I love him. I have tried not to, but I really cannot think about anything else!" sobbed Ginny. Hermione tried to calm her down, hugging Ginny and trying not to cry herself. Ginny sniffed and straightened up. "Oh, look at me." Ginny smiled, "I am soppy." Hermione smiled warmly back. Ginny thanked Hermione and went to bed.
