Realizations
Ginny lay in the back of the Ford Anglia and listened to Luna’s steady breaths. The only light was that of the stars and the moon and a tiny glow of Luna’s watch- which read 3:54. Ginny hadn’t slept and she longed for the Gryffindor dormitories- but it was kind of nice having Luna by her side.
“Ginny you awake?” came a voice somewhere to the left of her.
“Yeah.”
Luna rested her head on Ginny’s shoulder- her blonde hair tousled from where she had been lying. Shivers ran down Ginny’s spine as she breathed in. Luna smelled like blueberries and mint- which was an unusual but nice combination. Luna began combing through Ginny’s shoulder length hair with the tips of her fingers.
“Your hair is nice- Ginny” commented Luna absent mindedly.
“uh- thankyou” answered Ginny
Ginny realized that Luna was staring at her- looking into her eyes as if she could read her mind. Ginny was coming to a realization that she liked Luna- and not just as a friend. As if Luna actually could read her mind- she leant in and slowly kissed Ginny- softly- as if her lips were as fragile as butterfly’s wings. Wrapping her arm around Luna’s torso- Ginny leant in- and the kiss grew to be not as soft- but passionate. Luna rolled over and swung one leg around Ginny’s hip- her fingers tangled up in her flaming red hair. They kissed if their lives depended on it- as if the only oxygen on earth was inside each other’s lungs. Ginny broke away first- but then lightly kissed Luna’s neck- unbuttoning her school top half way. Luna ran her fingers through Ginny’s hair again- as Ginny rested her head on Luna’s chest- kissing her every so often. They lay like that for hours until the stars faded and the first beams of sunlight escaped through the thick trees of the forest. Luna opened the rusty car door and stepped into the now beautiful clearing- droplets of dew clung to the tall grasses glittering like diamonds as the sunlight caught them.
“Ginny I forgot to ask you” said Luna dreamily as Ginny stepped out of the car.
“ask me what?” queried Ginny- slightly mesmerized by Luna’s grey blue eyes.
“Ginny will you be my girlfriend?” Luna replied- anxiously.
“Of course!” Ginny laughed “Did you think I would say no?”
Luna blushed. “Maybe” she gave a little smile which Ginny then smirked and kissed her again.
“We need to find our way back to the castle soon before classes start” said Luna as they broke apart.
“I’ll climb a tree.” Ginny suggested and proceeded to look for a tall one- with lots of knots and branches to hold onto. She found a good tall tree and started to scale the trunk until reaching the gangly branches where she could climb easily.
“I’ll catch you if you fall Ginny!” Luna called to Ginny- who was now a good height up.
“Thanks Luna- but I very much doubt you’ll be strong enough to catch me if I do fall- which is unlikely.” Ginny said kindly. “I see the castle! I know which direction we need to go in now” she shouted from above.
Ginny gracefully swung to the ground- somewhat ruining the effect with an audible thump as she hit the base of the trunk. The pair set off in the direction Ginny had indicated and the forest began to thin out- eventually bringing them to Hagrid’s house- which was more of a cabin to be honest. With less than 5 minutes to spare- the girls sprinted up to 1st class- ironically it was potions.
