Ginny felt her knees turn to jelly.
"P-Pardon?" Her mind couldn't comprehend what he had just revealed.
Harry looked down at their joined hands before his expression changed. His eyes hardened as he looked at Ginny again, taking her lightly by the wrist of her left hand, muttering, "Come with me..."
Harry led Ginny further into the back, her heels clacking against the uneven floorboards. They took so many turns that she currently had no idea where they were going. As they walked further, many people milling around waved, smiled, and attempted to speak to Harry, but all he did was wave or nod back absentmindedly.
Finally, Ginny found herself facing a plain white door. Harry let go of her wrist, and she found herself disappointed. He reached into his pocket and took out a large key chain with multiple keys dangling from it, flipping through all of them until he came to a rough looking golden key. He immediately jammed it into the key hole, and turned it until a soft 'click!' was heard. He opened the door, stepping inside hurriedly. Ginny assumed she was to follow.
The room was brightly lit, and a strange smell tickled Ginny's nose as she stepped in. Looking around, various people who Ginny recognized as band members were wandering around, playing games, drinking, and laughing. Ginny instantly felt out of place. There were hardly any women in the room, and those who were there were not dressed as flamboyantly as Ginny, and were hanging around with who Ginny assumed was their boyfriends. She tried to locate Harry, but she couldn't find him. She frowned.
Before she could take another step forward, an object hit the side of her head.
"Oh jeez, I'm so sorry!" Ginny looked up to see a member she believed to be in Harry's band with his hands over his mouth, his eyes looking shocked.
"Aw man, I didn't mean to hit you, honest! Sorry, we were playing pong, and I'm not really that great at it, and...hang on, who're you?" The man had a weird accent. He was rather attractive, wearing a ratty shirt under a nice blue blazer, his hair matching his brown eyes.
"Er...I'm looking for Harry..." She replied uncertainly, not fully answering his question.
"What, a groupie?" Ginny looked at him angrily, before responding.
"I most certainly am not! He led me here, and just disappeared!"
The man stared at her blankly. "Doesn't really sound like him, does it?"
In response, Ginny shrugged.
"What's your name? I'm Jon." He held his hand out for Ginny to shake, which she accepted.
"I'm Ginny. Ginny-"
"BLOODY HELL!" Ginny was startled by his reaction.
"YOU'RE GINNY?!?" He now began to circle her, and Ginny noticed many others in the room paying attention to the two. Ginny began feeling more uncomfortable than she already was with the extra attention. She was about to run out of the room until she felt a poke at her side.
"Hey!" She turned, expecting to see the brown haired boy observing her, but was kind of creeped out to notice a blonde haired boy poking her side.
"She's thinner than I expected her to be." He voiced, looking over to the brown haired boy, who was on the opposite side of her.
"Yeah, and I was expecting her hair to be...I don't know, a little more shiny?"
"Yeah, not so much of a tomato, more of an...I don't know..."
"Auburn?"
"Yeah, that!"
"I was expecting her to be tanner." A female voice carried throughout the room, and soon, everyone in the room was voicing their opinions on Ginny.
"Too short-"
"-Different eye color-"
"-her eyebrows need to be plucked-"
"-Is that stubble on her legs?-"
"-I was expecting a larger chest, to be honest. What is that, a small B or a large A?"
Ginny turned red in mortification. How did all these people know her?
Just then, a throat cleared rather loudly. Everyone turned to see Harry exiting a plain white door. Ginny was surprised that she hadn't noticed it from the start. He scratched his hair nervously, and Ginny almost smiled at the habit she so vividly remembered.
"Er...Sorry Ginny, I needed to use the loo. I guess we should probably talk now..."
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
It's been awhile, hasn't it?
I'm sorry. I put this story on hiatus a while back, and now that it's summer, I'll have time to actually write it again. I'm not really sure where it's all going, so basically any suggestion is welcome. Hopefully now I'll be able to make weekly updates. Thank you guys for reading (:
