Messaging My Love

Chap. 7

"I suggest you go away from her Moon," Ron said, Ginny could see his hand clutched around his wand. Should she even feel guilty? She looked up ad lock eyes with Harry who seemed a bit sad and digested at the same time. She frowned and looked down.

She looked back up at Colin...but he was gone. She felt an arm snake around her waist, "and what would you do Weasley? Surely for the fact I have her next to me you wouldn't dare hurt your dearest sister?"

Ginny's hands turned into a fist, "What makes you think I'm some kind of protection from my brother?" She was glaring right up at him.

If he was shocked he didn't show it, "Who says you won't?" His voice had humor leaking out of it.

She did what she thought she could, she stomped on his foot before heading out to where Harry and Ron stood.

Winter didn't look to happy, his eyes were blazing, "If you didn't protection Weasley, "he sneered, "I would've had my way," he smirked, "and you know it."

She was torn between slapping him and...well there wasn't another reason so she did. She could see his skin slightly turned darker, he glared at her.

"Think you'll have you way with me? You think it funny to say that to a girl? You!" She pointed a finger at him, "Are nothing."

He stared at her, his lips curled up slowly, "we'll see," he said slowly leaning down to her ear, "we'll see."

She pursed her lip before turning around meeting a very relived Ron and Harry; she had forgotten they were there.

Ron patted her back, "knew my sister was the best," he grinned at her.

She smiled slightly, and then looked at Harry who seemed to want to talk to her, she shook her head slightly. Before she went off to find Colin, she wanted to talk to him first. Even if she didn't know what she felt for him, she really wished and hoped she wouldn't lose him as one of her best friends.

She didn't have to go far because when she found him in the spot where they first became friends. This now was their secret spot, when they needed to think or just somewhere to go. She sank down in between the stones and sat next to Colin. Who didn't even move or say anything to her arrival.

She bit her lip looking at him; his eyes had a flicker of sadness and anger in them. When she touched his arm he flinched and that made her quickly remove it. He looked up at her though, "So," he asked rather cold," are we staying friends or what?"

She blinked and looked down, "I- I don't-"

"Because it pretty much seems to me that you don't want to be more," he said interrupting her with the same cold voice.

She gave him a pleading look, "Colin...don't do this," she bit her lip.

He gave her a sharp look, "do what?"

"I don't want to lose you as a friend," she said blinking back tears.

Suddenly his face softened, but he made no move, "I don't want to lose our friendship either," he said it so softly Ginny had to strain to hear.

She looked down as a tear rolled down her cheek, "well? What do we do now?"

She knew he was moving because she could see his shadow move, but what he did, she didn't expect: he took her hand. It made her look into those watery blue eyes of his, "I don't know," he smiled a little, "but I do know whatever we do as long as we stay friends or something like that," he paused, "I'll be happy."

She stared at the hand holding hers before facing him a small smile playing on her lips. She had leaned over to kiss him. It wasn't like the kiss in the common room. No, this kiss was able to have Winter disappear from her mind...at least for now.
