Ginny ran from the bathroom and straight to her dorm closing the curtains tight around her bead and hastily casting a silencing charm before she dove her face into her pillow and sobbed until she fell asleep. It was lunch time when she was woken by a hand on her shoulder. Ginny slowly opened her eyes and turned to face heroine who looked as bad as ginny felt. She slowly sat up to face Hermione at her own level. With out warning Hermione threw her arms around her younger friend and then began a frantic explanation.
"oh ginny I am so sorry you know I would never want to hurt you oh I am so sorry I should never have dun it especially knowing the way you feel it was so insensitive".
Ginnys mind sprang to life what dus she mean especially knowing the way I feel how could she have found out I've been so careful i.. ginny was just about to open her mouth to try and question Hermione when she began her hysterical apologies again
"im such a tribal person still doing that knowing how you feel about Harry please for give me ginny don't hate me you mean so much to me"
so it was hurry that she was talking about that makes more sense every time she had caught me daydreaming about her or upset that she would never feel the same about me I told her it was about Harry. Ginny was finaly able to speak and asked nervously
"so um how long have to two been seeing each other why didn't you tell me"
Hermione removed her arms from around ginny and sat down and the bed facing her with a look of shame on her face.
" well the thing is we're not exactly going out with one another its more well … oh this sounds terrible I sound like a whore"
Despite how hurt she was at what had happened she couldn't bare to see Hermione her best friend the girl she loved so upset. Ginny placed her hand on Hermione's trembling one and gave her a sympathetic look giving her the strength the continue with her story.
"it started a few weeks ago there just so much pressure on the both of us you see well especially Harry and we where both so up tight it was just a way to relive some pressure theirs no feelings between us its just"
but ginny interrupted her the news that thay didn't even care about each other seemed to make everything worse.
"so he's just using you then I cant believe that you would let him do that"
the younger girl said beginning to raise her voice now angry that Hermione would just sleep with anyone even sum one that didn't love her while ginny would have dun anything for her. Hermione's tears began again
"oh Ginny its not like that this is a mutual thing he's not pressuring me at all you must not blame Harry its not his fault he doesn't know how you feel about him. Its only happened a couple of times I promises gin it will never happen again"
" hay what you to do is nothing to do with me so by all means keep shagging your problems away together"
ginny said while trying to control her temper. She then slumped back down onto her bed turning to face away from Hermione and while doing to said
" your forgiven or whatever to you can just go now and leave me alone PLEASE !" at that Hermione left the room still sobbing.
