She dug into it hurriedly, smiling, blushing faintly that he had taken the time to send her.
Two simple ribbons.
Ginny stared at them in silence, rubbing them between her fingers as she relived the memory. It had been a glorious evening, one which kept her happy no matter where she was or how bad she felt before she revisited it. What could it mean for him to give them to her like this though? It felt a little...strange, especially since there was no- , ...no, wait, there was a note. She fished it out and devoured it, hoping it would make things less confusing. She read it with a creased forehead, not quite believing what she was reading.
"These are for you, to remember me by,
For I need them not where I am going,
I loved you then, I love you now, Where them if you love me in return,
Forever and Always Just like my love and my thoughts for you."
With a dead like feeling in her stomach she jumped up and ran from the dorm, ignoring the fact that classes started in ten minutes. She ignored the calls directed at her in the common room and jumped out the doorway as people walked in, knocking them slightly.
Hurriedly she ran up the stairs, pulling her robes out of the way as they caught around her legs. She was trying not to cry, because she was probably over reacting, she had to be, right? The ribbons were tangled around her fingers and she must have looked a fright as she finally ended up outside the Slytherin common room, waiting until people walked out until she barrled in, ignoring their shouts as she rushed down the stairs in the corner, pressing on and on, faster and faster and knocking into people as she went until she got to his room and barged in, expecting the worse.
There was nothing.
Chest heaving, she stalked over to his bed after a long moment and ripped back the covers, then threw the pillows off as she searched desperately for something, anything!
There, a letter with her name on it, it had been under the pillow. As she grabbed it, she heard a moan though, and shoved it in her pocket as she turned and saw the entrance to the dorms bathrooms. OF COURSE.
She hurried in and right around the corner there he was, sprawled on the ground (elegant as always) with his blonde hair mused from the night whether he had slept or not, blood still spilling from his wrists.
"I hope you liked it." he murmured quietly. "You always liked the simple ribbon best"
And then he was gone.
