Enjoy.
I watch his face turn purple with rage.
"You… You what?" He sputters at me.
I take a deep breath. "I'm…in…love…with…Ginny," I repeat.
He sits down on the bench again. The air around him crackles and sparkles with magic as he rages. His longish red hair stands on end, seemingly ablaze in the feeble light of the bathroom.
"How?" He whispers. It's a deadly whisper.
I shudder.
"I just am, Ronald."
"Don't you dare say my name."
I steady myself against the pillar.
"Alright…Fine. I am in love with her. I couldn't help my feelings when it happened, nor can I help them now."
He exhales.
"It's not right…For a girl…to love a girl."
"Oh come on, Ron!"
"DON'T SAY MY NAME!" He bellows at me. His rage cracks the marble floor around him.
"You're only saying that bit about my love for Ginny being wrong because I'm not in love with you!" I seethe.
There is a long silence between us. I'm breathless. I can't seem to catch my breath. He is calm. Too calm. It unsettles me further.
"Good luck, loving her. I'm leaving."
I blink.
"Hermione? Do yourself a favor and never speak to me again."
With a swish of his robes, he leaves the bathroom, leaving behind the scent of grass, polished wood, and sweaty leathers.
