We're running together. It's autumn. Yesterday I found a leaf the same colour as her hair. She never holds still.

            "I can't breath," I say, and stop running.

            She laughs at me, mocking, and runs off ahead.

            "Ginny!," I shout, "Come back!"

            She keeps running, her hair disturbingly bright against the dead grey of the trees.

            "You'll have to catch me!" she laughs and keeps running.

            I suddenly speed up and tackle her to the ground.

            "Hermione, you're hurting me," she pouts, pushing me off her.

            "I love you," I say.

            Her eyes cloud, and then she turns away, laughing.
