And the song isn't mine either.
Summery: No summary, it's just a ficlette.
Notes: As you see, this is really short so please take two minutes and R&R! Come on, just two minutes!!
Also, I'm not so sure about the category but anyway....
The lion sleeps tonight
Not even a candle was burning in the small room, the office lay in darkness. Barley anything could be seen due to the fact that even the heavy curtains were closed.

The lion sleeps tonight
In the jungle
The mighty jungle
The lion sleeps tonight ~
The young woman was sitting at her desk and starred at a small dusty book in front of her. Her face was blank as she just sat there motionless. Her long red hair fell wavy over her shoulders and her arms were wrapped around her legs while she was resting her head on her knees. A black cat with bright yellow eyes suddenly jumped on the desk and carefully stepped over the book. The figured moved slightly and her silky hair slid softly down her back. The small cat slowly, as if to ask for permission, went towards the woman and then started purring as she rubbed her head against Ginny's knees.
Ginny finally reached out and touched the small dusky diary. She softly caressed the cover with her index finger but it was obvious that she didn't intend to open it. It wasn't necessary, Ginny knew what was in the book. She just had to close her eyes and she could see her own neatly handwriting. Pages and pages filled with hope, experiences and one name, Harry Potter.

A small book, written by a small girl was all that was left of her times back at Hogwarts. She remembered it, all of it. She remembered every embarrassing situation, every small blush and every time her heart had begun racing when he entered the room. She remembered all the times she cursed herself for showing her feelings like that, she had wanted herself to act more "grown up" around him. Never would she have guessed that one day she'd long for these things, never would she have thought that she'd ask herself why it wasn't like that anymore.
Had it probably just been a simple crush? Could it be that she had mistaken admiration for love? Oh why had her heart stopped skipping a beat every time she heard his voice? Why had his embrace lost it's appeal? Why didn't his lips taste as sweet as they used to in her dreams? She didn't want to believe it. She started playing with her small silver wedding band. She tried to remember how much she loved him, without realising that she was getting lost in the dark office, that she was drifting away from him.

Emerald eyes were watching her and they looked sad. He wasn't dumb, he had long realised that she was shutting him out. But he wasn't ready to let her go, at least not yet.
~FIN~
So, what do you think? And I'm not a native speaker so I'm sorry about grammar/spelling mistakes. Please tell me if there are any so I can change it.
