Disclaimer: MINE!!!!!!!! IT'S ALL MINE!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA……… ::ahem:: *looks around furtively in hopes that no on saw that* hehe……… not really. The only things I own in this are part of the storyline, Harry and Athena Weasley (not Potter) and a few house-elves.
~*Beauty is Found Within*~
"Gin?" I heard a worried voice beseech, "Gin? Please wake up!"
Slowly, I began to lift my eyelids. But exhausted as I was, it felt like trying to lift a load of bricks. Finally I managed to pry my eyes open and a very anxious Hermione swam into view.
"Hermione?" I asked, befuddled, "What's going on? Why do I feel so strange?"
Completely ignoring my question, she jumped up and ran off, screaming to Ron something along the lines of, "She's awake!"
I was even more confused now, why was Hermione acting so strange? She hardly ever lost her cool, and now she was running through the house screaming!
I could hear Ron upstairs telling Hermione to calm down, that the excitement couldn't be good for the baby. That's right I thought, the baby is due in about one and a half weeks.
A second later, Ron thundered down the stairs and rushed into the room where I was lying on a sofa.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again Gin!!!" he yelled, before giving me a bone-crushing hug.
"Um… sorry?" I said timidly, hoping he would get off before he broke one of my ribs.
He let go and stood back, looking at me thoughtfully. "Do you remember what happened Ginny?"
"N-no………" I admitted, "I have absolutely no idea at all Ronald, why don't you enlighten me?"
He glared at me, "You passed out, and you scared me half to death, happy now?"
All of a sudden I remembered. I had been in the bathroom, thinking of Harry, and somehow managed to pass out. I groaned and buried my head in a pillow, preparing to scream. Luckily, Hermione did the honors for me.
A/N: Well that was a shortie……… actually it's just there to be a filler while my inspirations and muses take a quick coffee break. Now, to the reviewers…
*Lyss* I did consider Harry for a Gaston-esque role but I decided against it. I'm trying to go with the more traditional story instead of the Disney version. So I'm not going to have a real villain role. Besides, my story plotline is complicated enough. Thanks for the suggestion though! If you like Beauty and the Beast, I strongly recommend the books Beauty and Rose Daughter. They're both by Robin Mckinley and are great adaptations of the story.
*Dizzy Flower* Thanks for your encouragement! I'm leaning toward a girl for Hermione b/c of the ending that I'm thinking of. Don't worry, our favorite gray-eyed Slytherin will show up soon, probably in about one or two chappies. About the speech… I think I'll make it so that Ginny won't be there so someone else will have to make the speech. That person will probably be scrabbling around for notes right before it. I thought it would make a good comic relief.
*Annika Oie* Thank you so much! As you see, I'm updating right now and I'll most likely get another chappie up either tomorrow or the day after.
