Chapter 4: Wondrous Kisses
Ginny studied herself in the bathroom mirror. Critical eyes going through every inch of her face. She had gotten more color. Too bad. I kinda liked the pale look. It had been a moth since that day when they found out. Things were a little better. Of course it hadn't been completely painless. She had cut herself a few times afterwards. But she had been "clean" for a week now. They all were so happy and asked her if she was alright repeatedly. How can they believe I feel ok with all this fuss around me all the time? If don't get some privacy soon i'll really go nuts.

She looks beautiful today. Not that she's ever ugly. Does she wear make-up? A bit mascara… and some lip gloss… Ginny studied Hermione closely.
"Ginny?"
Oh those lips.. Are they moving?
"Ginny! Are you paying attention?"
"Of course I am." Ginny did her best to look innocent.
"So what were we studying?"
You. "We were..um..spells." Ginny sighed and gave up.
"Potions. We were studying potions. If you don't concentrate you'll never catch up. Please Ginny. Try."
Why can't she just scream at me. Does she, do everybody have be so damn understanding? Ginny felt close to tears. Not again. Why do I have to be such a oversensetive cow? She turned away from Hermione's gaze just in time to feel a tear run down her cheek.
"Ginny?"
Arms around her stroking her back softly. Ginny looked up and saw Hermione's face just inches from her own. She looks so strong. So warm. Before she could change her mind she leaned over and her lips touched Hermione's. It was totally overwhelming to be so close her. To breathe her in. Cautiously she opened her mouth and let the tip of her tongue touch Hermione's lower lip. The sensiation of something so wondrous against her tounge made her dizzy. Hermione opened her mouth and their tongues met in a gentle kiss. It was all to much for Ginny who started to cry again. She was clinging to Hermione who just held her tight.
"Did you know about the scar?" Ginny asked after a while.
"Yes, i did. I was the one who found you. You didn't have much on at the time. I just didn't want to bring it up when you were feeling bad." Hermione looked into Ginny eyes and smiled a bit. "I hadn't planned to tell you this soon." Ginny looked a bit insecure. "Not that I don't mind." Hermione planted a quick kiss on Ginny's lips.
Ginny hadn't felt so good in a long time. Maybe things will turn ok.

A/N: It's NOT the end! Everything doesn't turn fantastic after a kiss. Ginny still have a depression. So she has Hermione now. But she still has to cope with herself. And I love you readers and reviewers! I want to marry all of you! Yes!
