Sam stumbled down the stairs in search of Ginny. She hadn't come back to bed last night and Sam wanted to know why. She checked the living room first and then the kitchen. She opened the door and flicked on the light. A small grunt drew her attention to Hermione who was sleepily protesting against the light. She saw that Ginny was in her arms and she could feel her anger rise and the heat come to her face.
'What the HELL is going on here?' Sam growled menacingly.
At the sound of Sam's voice Ginny woke up, but Hermione remained half-asleep.
She strode over to the two girls on the floor. She grabbed Ginny by the elbow and dragged her, painfully, to her feet. Hermione tried to protest but Sam's foot connected with her ribcage and Hermione doubled up.
'Now, would you care to explain what exactly I just found?' she snarled in the direction of Ginny.
'Sam, I don't know what you think bu…'
Hermione was cut short by another blow to her chest.
'I DIDN'T ASK YOU, BITCH' Sam said, her voice full of spite.
Sam span so that she was facing Ginny and grabbed her throat with a strong hand.
'Now, I'm gonna ask once more, what the HELL is going on?'
'Sam honey, honestly, nothing happened, we were just…'
Sam slammed Ginny against a wall, still holding her by the throat.
'YOU'RE LYING! You expect me to believe that stayed here all night, with that BITCH, and did nothing, when I find you this morning, IN HER ARMS!'
Sam tightened her grip and Ginny began to gasp for air.
'Let her go' Hermione croaked from the floor.
Sam let go of Ginny, who dropped to the ground, and kicked Hermione in the back and then the head. This time Hermione stayed very quiet. Ginny scrambled towards her but was stopped Sam pulling her up roughly by the shoulders.
'You know what?' Sam said in a manner so calm that it scared Ginny more than the previous rage. 'You can have her.'
Sam glanced back to the girl on the floor. Ginny paled at the sight of Hermione lying motionless in a pool of blood.
Sam threw one last punch, which connected with Ginny's eye and nose. She watched as the girl fell, slamming her head off the kitchen counter on the way down. Sam walked over to the sink and cleaned the splashes of blood off her hand.
