Chapter 3
Ginny woke after a 3 hour nap. She stumbled out of her bed and walked over to her dresser. " I look like shit" Ginny said out loud. Ginny started fixing her make-up to try and make herself presentable. After a few minutes of make-up and hair adjustments she made her way down stairs. " Hello dear." Molly said as her only daughter entered the kitchen. " Hi, mum." Ginny replied. "I was just fixing to go and wake you up." Ginny sat down at the table with her mom. " Did you have a good nap?" "Yes," Ginny sighed " It was ok, I guess." Molly placed a hand on the girls shoulder "Are you ok? You haven't been yourself lately." Ginny sighed and turned to her mother. A single tear rolled down her cheeks. "Mum…." the young girl paused and stared down at a burn on the table. "What is it honey?" Molly looked at her daughter with worry. Ginny started to speak in a soft whisper. "Have you ever loved someone that you knew you couldn't have?" " Is this about Harry, dear?" " No mum, I have been over him for a long time now." Molly placed a protective arm around her baby girl. "Ginny tell me who it is. Tell me what I can do to help you. I love you. I can't stand to see you like this." Ginny now had several tears pouring from her eyes as she fell into her mothers embrace.
Ginny dried her eyes with a Kleenex that her mum gave her. " th……thanks." the young girl stuttered. "Ginny" her mother cupped her chin into her hand. " you don't have to thank me I'm your mother and I will always be here when you need me and when you don't. I love you dear. Remember that okay." "I love you to mum" " Now are you going to tell me about this person you've grown fond of or not?" Ginny sighed she knew her mom would except her but she couldn't bring herself to say it. "Maybe later, right now I just think I need to be alone." "Ok dear, but when your ready I'll be here. I love you." The two embraced each other with a warm hug. "I love you too."
It was 1 o'clock in the morning and Hermione was sitting on the window seal. As she stared out the window something caught her eye. She squinted and looked harder at the object. She realized it was her best friend Ginny. Hermione tried to see what she was doing but failed. She was to far away. Hermione looked around the room for her shoes. After she spotted them and put them on she began to walk down the stairs. After several minutes she made her way to the front door. She opened it slowly and stepped out into the warm night air. She walked around to the side of the house were she had spotted Ginny. The young teenager sat under a large oak tree. When she came closer to the young girl she noticed something on the girls arm. She walked closer hiding in the shadows. When she was about 10 feet from Ginny she noticed a silver object in her hand. She was shocked to see what happened next. She saw the blood pouring from the girls arm. She gasped and ran into the house. When she made it to the bedroom she looked out the window. Ginny was gone. She heard footsteps coming from the hallway, so she dove into bed acting as if she had been asleep the whole time. The door opened with a soft squeaking noise and loud click when it shut. The young redhead walked over to her bed and slid under the covers "Mione?" she whispered. No answer. She rolled over to face the older girl. Ginny seen that the older girls eyes were closed. Ginny sighed and laid down. She eventually fell asleep. Hermione cried softly for her friend and fell into a rough sleep.
When Ginny woke up the next morning she realized Hermione was already gone. She slowly got out of bed and headed for the shower. As she washed her body off she noticed the dry blood slowly disappear from her arm. After a hot 45 minute shower Ginny dressed and went down to the kitchen for a late breakfast. " Hi Mione." Ginny said entering the kitchen. There was no response from the older girl. "Mione you ok?" Ginny asked with a concerned look on her face. Hermione slowly turned to Ginny. Ginny gasped at the look Hermione was giving her. It was anger, hurt, sadness and fear all into one. " I should be the one asking you that question Ginny!" Ginny didn't recognize the harsh bitter voice that was talking to her. The younger girl couldn't speak. She was in shock. Hermione quickly got up and left the room making sure to slam the door on her way out.
