THE POET.
Ginny stood on the ledge of a window in the South Tower. She felt the
wind blowing at her robes, whipping them back from her body. She
wondered what it would be like to fly. Not to ride a broomstick, but
to launch herself into the air, nothing to hold her up. It would be
complete freedom. She raised her leg and began to step out…
"Ginny! Ginny, where are you, we're supposed to be studying!"
Hermione's voice wound up the stairs, and Ginny hopped off the ledge.
Damn, she thought. Why did that girl always turn up at the wrong
time? If it weren't for her, my pain would be gone. Ginny pasted a
smile on her face as Hermione trotted up the spiral staircase.
"Sorry Herm, just wanted to see the view." She followed Hermione back
down to the small room. She took one look at the stacks of books and
realised she wouldn't be able to study. Not here, not so close to her
window of salvation.
"Uh, Hermi, I think I'll just go back to the dorm. I feel a bit
tired." Hermione waved absentmindedly from behind a spellbook.
Ginny grabbed her pile of books, checking carefully for a slim volume
between her Transfiguration and Charms books. She walked slowly down
the hall towards the portrait hole.
"App-app, oh god apple pie!" she gasped as the tower of books teetered
precariously. The Fat Lady swung open tiredly, and Ginny stepped
through to find Harry about to ascend the boys' staircase.
"Hey Ginny, I'll give you a hand." He said when he saw her. He
grabbed at the top of the stack just as it gave way, scattering
textbooks all over the floor. Ginny flushed bright red.
"Oh, I'm sorry Harry, I'll get it. You go to bed." She mumbled.
This time Harry blushed.
"Erm, actually, I was going to get a Muggle book to show Cho, but…" He
replied quietly. Ginny felt her insides go hard and crumble. Cho.
The very bane of her existence. She gathered her books quickly and
stormed wordlessly up to the girls' dormitory, leaving Harry extremely
embarassed.
