Secrets

Without you by my side

Warning! This chapter contains rape and sexual themes. 

I skipped to my dorm and opened the door to find Ginny sitting on the edge of my couch wringing her hands. I took a tentative step towards her and the sadness in her eyes startled me as she looked up at me. "Hermione, you should know. Obliviate doesn't effect me, it never does" she whispered. 

I took in a sharp breath. "I-I'm sorry Gin" I murmured slowly walking towards her. 

She took a step back. "I gave you the benefit of the doubt but, but, I wasn't sure. I followed you Hermione, I was there that night with Malfoy and Nott and I heard what you told the about Karine and - and Fred." he voice broke as tears flowed down her face. She walked towards me."I'm sorry I didn't know - I should've known you would bring them back if you could" she whispered clutching my hands desperately. "I'm sorry" she repeated. 

I smiled at her. "It's fine Gin, I probably would've done the same thing". 

She smiled back and let out an unwilling giggle. I stepped away from her. "What?"

"I do actually fancy Nott you know." She giggled again at my surprise. 

"Let's get dressed up shall we! I'll be fun" she said, pulling me into my own room. 

"For what" I groaned desperate to get out of her makeovers. 

"Lunch" she said simply, grabbing a floor length silver gown from my closet. 

I gasped. "I'm not wearing that!"

She laughed and grabbed another dress, a short and tight black one with gold around the neckline. "Cuuute" she squealed throwing it over her arm. 

I pointed at the dress. "That's for you"

She laughed, a loud tinkling sound I hadn't heard since before the war. I couldn't help but smile at that. "I know, this one's for you" she giggled, pulling out a royal blue gown with butterflies enchanted around it. 

I scowled and pushed her aside settling on white romper with black dots and a bow tied around the waist. It had long sleeves with an elastic at the end causing the wrist part to flare out, it was also rather short. Ginny scrunched her nose, her scrutinizing glare at the outfit before her face broke into a grin. "I like it" she said, grinning. 

We wriggled out of our clothes and pulled the dresses on. She threw me gold sandals and grabbed huge black heels for herself. I tossed her my makeup bag and pulled out red lipstick, mascara, and blush. Simple, yet beautiful. We grinned at each other when we were done and collapsed into a fit of giggles falling onto my bed. "Ahhhh" Ginny screamed. 

"What?!" I yelled back. 

"We're twenty minutes late!!!" she yelled. 

"Fashionably late" I winked at her.

We entered the Great Hall and all eyes turned on us. I could see Ron's jaw drop out of the corner of my eye but I searched for Malfoy instead. He glanced up at me and did a double take before tossing me a wink from across the hall. I scowled and he smirked. "Ahhh the sexual tension between you two is soo thick I swear I gotta get out my scissors." Ginny whisper screamed at me. 

I scowled at her and we walked over to our table. I sat beside Harry delicately and smiled at him. "So that's where you were. I was afraid you would skip on us" Harry grinned. 

I smiled back. "I was seriously considering it but Ginny had to ruin everything" I complained, grabbing a sandwich from the table. 

Harry tossed Ginny a grateful smile and I was happy to see them getting along again. "Wonnie" we heard the fifth year girl yell as she threw herself onto Ron's lap and starting kissing him hungrily making sloppy squishing sounds I never want to hear again.
