"You know, this is really getting old, Cho," Ginny said in exasperation.
The older witch sat on their bed, tears wetting her lovely face. Her head was bowed low and her dark silky hair fell over her face disguising it but Ginny had already seen all of the waterworks. She was irritated with her girlfriend of two years, but also feeling a bit guilty once the tears started.
"I'm just tired of you questioning me all of the time," Ginny said, walking over to the bed and plopping down on the foot of it. "You're so suspicious it's crazy."
"I…I just…I'm scared!" Cho admitted, a blubbering mess by now.
"Cho, why on earth are you scared?" Ginny demanded in annoyance.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Cho demanded almost hysterically. "You are gorgeous, Ginny! Absolutely gorgeous! And you're amazing and wonderful and perfect! Why wouldn't anyone want you? You're a war hero, remember? You were only fifteen when you helped fight that battle against You-Know-Who! And now you're an amateur Qudditch player but you're already so popular and famous! And some of the girls on the team are so pretty and you've been flirting with Fleur Delacour!"
Ginny rolled her eyes. "We're friends! We hang out! Being friends does not mean I'm flirting or snogging or shagging anyone but you!"
Cho sniffled. "It's not like it would be the first time, Gin," Cho reminded her quietly.
Ginny's blood ran cold at the mention of her one slip up a year ago. It was at the second anniversary of the end of the war and Ginny had gotten drunk at the celebration and ended up sleeping with her friend Luna Lovegood. She and Cho had broken up for a few weeks, but they loved each other and had gotten back together. Ginny still loved Cho, but she was so paranoid and Ginny was on her best behavior these days! It's like she would never get past that mistake.
"I'm going out," Ginny decided after a few long minutes of silence, slipping out of bed.
"Wait, Ginny, don't go!" Cho cried out hysterically.
"Why not? Scared I'm going out to get laid?" Ginny demanded coldly, tears stinging her bright brown eyes as she pulled on some pants. She had been walking around their flat in a tank top and panties. "You already think I am and it's obvious that nothing I ever say or do is going to change that, so you might as well just leave."
Cho looked wounded and it hurt Ginny's heart. "Ginny…Please don't say that…I..I love you! Please don't go…Please?"
If Ginny thought Cho actually wanted her, Ginny might have stayed. Ginny had a feeling that Cho only asked her to remain because she was terrified that Ginny was going out to cheat on her and Ginny was not going to encourage that sort of paranoia in her girlfriend. Besides, Ginny needed time to cool down and gather her thoughts and she needed a few drinks in her system away from her crying girlfriend.
