Ginny flopped down on her couch after Harry had come and cried. She had nothing else to do. She thought taking the day of work would be a good idea. She was supposed to go back to this semester. But she couldn't bring herself to be around her classes with kids quite yet. Ginny is a professor at Hogwarts, school of witchcraft and wizardry. She felt alone and small in the world.
Knock knock.
Ginny tried to get up but she couldn't so she just shouted, "Who is it?"
"Hermione"
With that Ginny got up, opened the door and flung herself at Hermione. She completely broke down. (again)
"I've come to live with you for a couple days," Whispered Hermione, "I hope that's okay?"
Ginny nodded and led her in.
"Ginny, do you want to talk? I'm here for you, you know."
"I know." Ginny managed to get out, "but I can't-"
"I know." murmured Hermione, and gave her another hug.
"WHY ME?" Ginny said into her shoulder. "WHY?"
"I don't know, Ginny. But you know so many people are trying to figure this out. It's not safe for you to be alone when you're like this. You're a target for some reason that still has to be figured out. You're vulnerable right now."
Ginny just gave another muffled sob.
"I brought breakfast." Said Hermione. "I'll go get it."
"Ok."
For breakfast there was bacon, toast, and cereal. Hermione knew what David's favorite breakfast was, and she made sure to stay away from those items.
"And one last thing," she said "Ice cream!" She took out several ice cream boxes and put them all in the fridge except for one.
"Let's eats this one now." She said, handing Ginny the pint and a spoon. Ginny got up went and sat on the couch and dug in. She finished it off in 45 minutes, and went to get another one, but Hermione caught her hand.
"No," she said strictly "I'll got throw this out." And she left the room with the empty carton.
She came back with a game of Wizard chess. "I challenge you."
Ginny gratefully excepted, glad to take her mind off something.
After playing 10 games out of which Ginny won 6, the two women set off to go to the burrow. Ginny felt she still wasn't ready, but Hermione insisted. So she caved, and with one CRACK they were gone.
When they arrived at the burrow, everyone was there. The whole family. A huge commotion broke out when they saw who it was. Molly was the first to reach Ginny, and she shooed everyone else into the living room.
"Mum-"Ginny started.
"Ooh, my dear. Shh." Molly took Ginny in her arms and began to rock her. After Molly asked, "Do you want to go into the other room?"
And so they did.
The room quieted as they walked in, and Ron said, "Hey
Ginny, want to talk about it?"
"No." She replied. "I've already talked enough about it with Hermione and
Harry."
"HARRY?" Fred asked, flabbergasted. "POTTER?"
"Yes."
"Why-" But George cut in, "When?"
"When I was in the park that night, he was too."
"I'll go get drinks," Ron said a little too forcefully and stalked out of the room.
"I shouldn't have mentioned that." muttered Ginny
"Oh nonsense. Those silly boys will have to get over a fight. Ron and Hermione are together now anyway."
"I know." Sighed Ginny. "I'm going home."
"Not don-" But Arthur was shushed by Molly.
"You know where we are if you need us."
"Ok," Ginny felt tears stinging in her eyes, "Just one more hug…?"
"Of course." Replied Molly, hugging her daughter.
In a small voice Ginny said, "I don't know what I'd do without you..."
"I'll come soon Ginny," Said Hermione
Ginny nodded, and CRACK she was home.
With a sigh, Ginny got out another pint of ice cream. Hermione appeared behind her, saw the ice cream but didn't argue. She just got another spoon, and followed Ginny into the living room.
Maybe they could go out to town tomorrow if Ginny was feeling better.
