Silent
Night

Chapter One
It
was a silent night. The stars shown brightly, and the ground sparked
with freshly fallen snow. Ginny stood, looking at the peaceful sky,
thinking about her horrible life. She never had anyone, not after Tom
Riddle. How foolish she was, to trust a diary that could talk back.
She was stupid, and almost had died, if it wasn't for Harry. Harry.
He was part of the reason that she was standing there. In the cold,
dark astronomy tower, sort of like her heart. Cold, lonely. Harry had
saved her, and brought her back to this wretched life that she lived
with no friends. Not even her dumb brother cared. He was so caught up
in his own life to even notice her. Ginny climbed up on top of the
side of the astronomy tower. It was quite cold, and she held her
cloak tighter around her. "Well, now they don't have to care
anymore. Because I won't be here to be forgotten." She said. Her
voice pierced the stillness.
She looked up to the sky. "Such
a lovely sky tonight. A silent witness. Well, the sky doesn't care
either. I don't really know why I even bother waiting. The sooner the
better I suppose. But, I would like to wait. So the cold gets to me
so I won't feel the fall." Ginny seemed to be in an internal
battle, as she talked to herself. "No, I shall sit and think
about my horrible, pain ridden life. Such a sad life I have led."
Ginny said. She stepped off of the wall, and sat on it instead. She
let her feet hang over the edge, swinging dangerously, as she sat,
thinking about her whole life and the empty feeling that was eating
at her each day.
The redhead sighed, and once again began to
talk to herself. "This is an odd habit I have, carrying on
conversations with myself. Oh well, at least I can talk to myself."
Ginny once again sighed and started to talk to herself about her
first year. "I remember that trance I was in. I was nobody, just
a body walking around, doing nothing, yet doing everything. I can't
believe that I almost caused the end of Hogwarts, and most of the
people here. I guess that is when I found that nobody wanted to have
anything to do with me. Luna talked to me sometimes, but she really
isn't much to talk to. I don't know her that well. And, besides, she
was half crazy, believing most of that junk her father puts in that
ridiculous magazine." Ginny smiled to herself, thinking about
last year. "Then, she went off by herself, and now I have
nobody. Ron, and his perfect friends, I can't even believe I liked
Harry once. That was really stupid for me to do, like someone who was
too caught up in himself to think anything of me. But, that was then,
this is now."
Ginny slid off of the wall. She stood on
the cold, smooth floor of the astronomy tower. Ginny put one leg on
the low wall. She never really got the reason why the walls were so
low on the astronomy tower, unless the founders of Hogwarts did that
intentionally, so people
had an easy way to kill themselves. Ginny put her other leg on the
wall, and stood up on top of it. Her arms fell to her side, and the
sleeves of her robe, which were too short, reveled
long scars on her wrists, from years of cutting herself.
"Goodbye world." She said. Ginny fell forward, making the
long fall down to the soft, cold snow. Halfway through the fall, the
cold finally got to her. Her eyes closed, as she passed out. She now
felt nothing.
