Omgosh! Ginny came back! What's going to happen now O.o Read and find out :P
I had a pleasant night last night with the girl I liked.. of course she doesn't know I like her. I hope it'll turn into something more soon .
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Harry Potter's
Hermione's mind seemed to go into overdrive while her body stayed frozen. It's Ginny… she's really in front of me… Wait… why is she here? Maybe she thought I'd be gone already. Oh no, I should leave now or she'll hate me.
Hermione snapped out of her thoughts and jumped up a little too quickly. She forgot about the book she had been reading and it fell to the floor. I should leave now, all my stuff is packed anyways. She looked over at Ginny perfect face. Ginny had a look of confusion clearly written on her face. I knew it… She didn't think I'd be here, that's why she's confused.
"I'm," Hermione started, "I'm really sorry Ginny!" She turned around to go upstairs. "I'll leave now, I know you don't want to see me. You must've read my letter wrong, I'm leaving tomorrow… Not today." She started to walk away only to feel Ginny's soft hands gently touch her shoulder making her freeze. What's going on…?
"Hermione…" Ginny began again. "I need to talk to you."
Hermione refused to look over at Ginny. She didn't want to fall victim under the hateful gaze she was sure she'd see in Ginny's eyes. She knew that Ginny was disgusted, there was no need for her to pain herself and confirm it once more before she left. Ginny had already left a gaping hole in her heart and Hermione was not eager to make that hole even larger.
"Ginny, I know you're disgusted," Hermione began, "That's why I'm leaving." She shrugged off Ginny's hand that was still on her shoulder. Immediately, she missed the contact and cursed herself for it. She just came back and you're already thinking of how much you want her. Look at yourself…. So pathetic. She doesn't want you and you're still yearning for her touch. "Sorry I brought you so much pain," Hermione whispered and continued to walk away.
Before she got far, she heard Ginny say firmly. "Hermione." She stopped. "Look at me," Ginny commanded. Hermione shook her head. Ginny's tone of voice changed. "Please…" Ginny said. "Please look at me." Hermione could hear pain in her voice and cringed. I caused that pain. If only she didn't find out. However, she couldn't deny her love when she begged like that so Hermione slowly turned. She stared at Ginny's feet.
"Hermione," Ginny said again. "Will you please look at me?" Reluctantly, Hermione lifted her eyes to meet Ginny. Her eyes traveled up Ginny's body, trying to memorize how she looked. She figured she'd never see her again anyways. Finally, they made eye contact.
Instead of the anger and disgust and pain that Hermione expected to see, Ginny's eyes showed gentleness, fear, and something else Hermione didn't know how to interpret.
Ginny walked up to Hermione again. "Will you listen to me now?" She asked. Hermione silently nodded. "Come," Ginny motioned to the couch again. "I want us to be comfortable as you hear me out." What could she possibly want to talk about? The confused Hermione followed Ginny and sank into the couch. She heard a slight chuckle coming from Ginny and looked over at her. Ginny had bent over to pick up Hermione's forgotten book and was looking at it with a smile. "I never thought I'd see the day Hermione Granger completely forgets about a book." With a smile, she handed it to Hermione. "Here, I think you might want this."
"Uh… Yea, thanks," Hermione replied as she timidly took the book from Ginny, being careful not to accidentally brush her hand over Ginny's. "So, um," Hermione began uncomfortably. "What did you want to talk about?"
Ginny was silent for a while as she studied her own hands. "I think you know what, Hermione." She responded quietly.
Hermione gave a slight nod, "I don't want to hear it. You love Harry and I don't want to get in the way. You are disgusted and repulsed by my feelings. I know all this; I don't want to hear you say it." She cradled the book and hugged it to her chest. "It… it hurts to just think about it."
Ginny gave an exasperated sigh. "You don't get it Hermione." She said, causing Hermione to look up at Ginny. "That's not why I came back. I knew you'd be here tonight, that's why I came."
Hermione gave a sad smile. "You're too kind, Ginny. Harry said you'd come back. He said that you valued our friendship and wouldn't let it go. You don't have to pretend for me Ginny. I know you can't stand the sight of me… you're just too kind to say so and that's why you came back." She looked down again. "That's what I love about you," Hermione continued, her voice dropping even further. Ginny had to lean in a little closer to Hermione in order to hear her words.
A harsh laugh escaped Ginny's lips. "I can't believe you Hermione." Hermione looked up at her, confused. "You're such a brilliant witch. I can't believe you're so dense sometimes!" Ginny scooted closer. "Here's what I'm trying to tell you. Since you don't understand, I'm going to put it bluntly. First… I don't hate you. Second, I'm not disgusted. And third, I've been doing some thinking and I think I've come to a conclusion."
Wait... she doesn't hate me? She's not repulsed? Hermione tuned out the rest of Ginny's words as she tried to wrap her mind around what she had just said.
"Are you even listening Hermione?" Ginny asked, sounding almost impatient. Hermione didn't seemed to have heard and was looking down at her own hands, seemingly deep in thought. Ginny gave a frustrated sigh and decided to do the one thing she knew would get Hermione's attention. Two of Ginny's fingers found their way under Hermione's chin and gently lifted them up so that Hermione looked into Ginny's eyes. Then very slowly, Ginny leaned in closer and closer to Hermione, her eyes instinctively going down to Hermione's full lips.
Hermione was in shock. I think she's going to kiss me…Before she could think any further, Ginny's soft, smooth lips lightly touched her own. Hermione's mind went blank and only sensations and feelings remained. The feather light contact of Ginny's lips made Hermione tremble on the inside. It was a dream come true. No… it was better than any dream she'd ever had. The feeling of Ginny's lips on hers was something she could never fully imagine.
Ginny's other hand crept around to the back of Hermione's head and tangled in her bushy hair. She pulled Hermione closer and deepened the kiss. Hermione felt Ginny's mouth moving against hers and instinctively Hermione began to kiss back. Her eyes fluttered shut as she concentrated on the sensations of her mouth. She felt herself moan just a little. Hermione sensed Ginny's mouth curl up slightly in a smile as she backed away from Hermione. Hermione's heart raced wildly and she slowly opened her eyes.
"Are you listening now?" Ginny asked quietly. She had a slight blush on her cheek as Hermione subconsciously touched her own lips, as if wondering if what happened was real or not. Hermione mutely nodded. I just kissed Ginny Weasley… the girl of my dreams… Her mind seemed to move in slow motion while her heart worked double time. Ginny reached out and gingerly took Hermione's hand in hers. "I don't hate you Hermione." She said softly as she traced little circles on Hermione's hands with her thumbs. A tingling sensation spread through Hermione at Ginny's touch.
"In fact," Ginny continued. "I think I might love you. I wanted to come back and see if I really do or if I was just convincing myself when I was at Luna's." Hermione gave an almost indecipherable nod. "That kiss…" Ginny continued. "It was the most amazing thing I've ever felt. Even when I kissed Harry it didn't feel this way. I felt so invigorated. It felt so perfect. I felt like we were meant to be." Ginny's blush darkened. "I think I love you Hermione Granger." Hermione looked deep into Ginny's eyes and Ginny looked away, embarrassed.
Without a word, Hermione stood. Ginny looked up at her as if expecting her to say something. "I…" Hermione began. She still couldn't wrap her mind around what happened. "I gotta go." Hermione said as she turned around and ran up the stairs. Omgosh… it really just happened... I have to get away before I do something I regret and scare her off. The feeling of Ginny's lips haunted Hermione. She imagined those perfect lips all over her body, worshiping it. She then imagined her own lips all over Ginny's smooth, beautiful body as well.
No, she scolded herself. Ginny's just confused. She's not sure if she loves me like that. If she knew all the things I wanted to do to her, she wouldn't be saying these things. She's still young and doesn't realize what's really going on. I'll give her time to think. Hermione ran into Ginny's room and picked up her things. I need time to think for myself too. She debated going outside to apparate but decided that she didn't want to see Ginny in case she lost control of herself so with a loud crack… Hermione disapparated.
And that's the end of the chapter! What do you guys think? Hermione seems so dense -_- She refuses to see the truth but I feel like we do that sometimes too. Hopefully she'll pull around and realize that Ginny wasn't kidding. Anyways… it'll be Ginny's POV next time :P Hope I'm keeping up to your standards.
