A friend and confidant
A/N: Bah! Sorry for taking forever and a day to update. I swear I was brain dead for the last few weeks. School is a pain every once and awhile.
Chapter 10: A friend and Confidant
Hermione sighed as she tossed and turned on her bed. She really and truly didn’t want to get up. Unfortunately she’d been hiding away for the last four days, barely leaving her room for anything.
With a firm resolve she rolled out of bed, and readied herself for the day. As she exited her room she was accosted by Ginny.
“Are you okay?”
Hermione forced a smile and nodded, “I’m better, at least I think I am.”
Ginny patted her cautiously on the arm, “I’m here if you need me you know that right?”
The older girl smiled genuinely for the first time in days at her newly established cousin. Her heart swelled with happiness. She truly felt like she could handle anything with Ginevra Weasley on her side. “Thank you Ginny, you have no idea how much that means to me.”
The younger girl hugged her friend encouragingly. “I’ll help you get through this. I can’t even imagine how hard this must be.”
Hermione hugged the girl to her for comfort and sighed as she slipped out of her embrace. “I don’t know what I’m going to do…I mean… I don’t really know how to react around him. I’ve never really been in any sort of relationship, and this is a forced one.” She sat heavily into a chair and looked up at her dejectedly. “There was Krum….but, I mean…it wasn’t …Merlin…I don’t know what I’m saying!”
Ginny couldn’t keep herself from laughing at the expression of confusion on Hermione’s face. “Don’t worry to much, you can always ask my mother. Its okay, you need to just take things one day at a time.”
“But Gin, I have to… you know…have sex with him.” Hermione looked down to hide the blush stealing up her neck.
Ginny smiled kindly, “Is he not appealing to you? I mean I figured you might kinda be attracted to him for his intelligence.”
Hermione looked up at her sharply, wonder marring her face. “ You mean…you don’t think its weird or gross?”
Ginny shook her head, “No, not at all, I don’t think he is all that bad. I mean you could be marring Filch.
Both girls smiled humorously and shuddered.
“I did have a crush on him once, I mean his voice….and those hands…” Hermione trailed off.
Ginny nodded, “Oh I know.”
Hermione relaxed, “Thanks Gin, I know I shouldn’t care what others think, but sometimes I can’t help it. I needed this; someone to tell me it was okay.”
“No problem…cousin, that’s what I’m here for.” Ginny patted her on her head softly. “After all that’s what family is for.”
