Falling into Cadence
Windwhisper
A/n- this is the last of three chapters, there will not be a sequel, sorry if I'm a breakin anyone's hearts. I've found f/f slash writing to my liking- maybe I'll eventually do some Tamora Pierce, who knows? I'll also do more Harry Potter, I think, so if you liked my writing style stick around, and I'll see what my crazy brain comes up with! Anyway, on with the ficcy, k? Enjoy this treat that I like very much! Ficcy- I like that word!
The next day, Hermione rose early, wanting to catch Ginny in the entrance hall after breakfast and talk with her, but by the time she got there (Colin Creevey had held her up with some thing about wanting to interview her because she was one of Harry's best friends), Ginny was gone. As she took a seat, feeling lost and confused, a golden mist gathered around her. She recognized it at once as a speaking spell, and cocked her head to listen as it whispered in her ear-
"Meet me in the prefect's bathroom tonight just before sunset- Fred and George gave me the password, and you know it. I've got something to show you. Don't be late, or we'll miss it!
~Ginny"
Hermione frowned. What could Ginny want to show her in the prefect's bathroom? Maybe she would finally get some answers to this then, or so she hoped. She saw Ginny only once that day, in a crowded corridor on the way to Charms. She finished dinner early, and at 5:30 headed for the bathroom.
"Mermish" she whispered to the door, and it swung open to reveal Ginny standing there with a steel cord with a throwing hook on one end in her hands.
"What the" Hermione asked, but Ginny motioned for silence and crossed to the window. She opened it, and clambered out. For one terrible moment, Hermione thought she had fallen, but she was sitting on a ledge. She tossed the hook up out of her range of vision, but as the tested it, it held firm.
"Come on!" she called to Hermione, who found it actually quite easy to climb out and grab the cable.
"Just go up to the top," Ginny instructed, "and when you get there, signal and I'll follow."
"Right." Agile enough for her, she climbed, almost walking like Ginny did. She whistled for Ginny to follow, and shortly Ginny appeared. The roof was flat in the middle where they stood, but Ginny led the way to the tallest tower on the western side. She sat down on the rim and swung her legs over the side, laughing as Hermione gasped at the brilliance of the sunset staining the sky. All at once, she stood up, and met Hermione's eyes. As sapphire blue met earth brown, everything stood out of time for that single moment. Then Ginny leaned in and kissed Hermione, first softly, then harder, more desperate, as wheels and rings and loops of pure passion shot out from the two forms silhouetted against the sky, as their minds exploded into the one kiss that defined pure love, as their bodies moved together in the sheer force of the rhythm that was taking over their very souls.
They broke apart, and Hermione whispered
"No matter what happens, I'll always be here, Ginny." Ginny smiled, and whispered back
"I will too. Never forget I love you."
Those last words hung in the air as the dying rays of the sunset shone upon the two radiant faces. Never forget
