Won't You Say 'I Love You'?
by Pink Rabid Monkey
Disclaimer: I don't own anything in the Harry Potter series (oh, why must you remind
me?!)! All Harry Potter characters, places, etc. belong to the wonderful Ms. Rowling! But,
the plot (what little plot there is) belongs to me. So don't take that ^_^
A/N: this is slash, involving two GIRLS! But its just a bit of somewhat angst-y fluff for all
my fellow Hr/G shippers! If you don't like slash, sorry, don't read this! And if you flame
me thanks! At least you read it! (And its my first H/G slash piece!) ^_^

She doesn't see me looking at her. I watch her enter the common room through the
portrait hole, so graceful and pretty, face flushed from what I assume was a quick run
back from Hagrid's. I wonder what she wanted. Perhaps help with her Care of Magical
Creatures homework? Doubtful. Ginny excels in that class, so caring with magical
creatures, I suppose kindness is just in her nature. And she would have come to me first,
wouldn't she? I'm usually the one to help her when she needs it.

Ginny is special, so unlike her brothers-at least personality wise. Physically, with her soft
brown eyes, brilliant red hair, and numerous freckles, she's a Weasely, no questions about
it. She's different, she isn't wild and rebellious like Bill. She doesn't have the athletic
skills of Charlie or the aloofness of Percy. Ginny is definitely not the prankster the twins
are and she lacks Ron's horrid temper (not that she doesn't have a pretty bad one herself).
No, Ginny is sweet and caring. Although few notice her in the shadows created by her
brothers and so many others in House Gryffindor.

I don't remember when I realized I liked her, but it has been awhile. I suppose I'm just to
afraid to admit it, to come clean. I can't handle the fact that there isn't a book out there
that can explain what I'm going through. All I know is that this isn't some childish crush.
I'm above that.

Unfortunately Ginny isn't. She's still infatuated with Harry. Well, more like
hero-worships him. She blushes at the sight of him still, its so annoying. Why can't she
like me? I know it's rather immature for me to get so jealous but I can't help it. Nobody is
perfect.

I gulp and hide behind my stack of homework, she's coming this way. I watch her through
the gap in-between my Potions textbook and 'Hogwarts, A History'. I can feel my
heartbeat quicken as I damn myself for being so idiotic. Ginny is my friend, I shouldn't
hide from her. Then she *might* suspect something! I sit up, taking large breaths, trying
to calm down so I won't stutter if she speaks to me.

She smiles, making me want to wrap her in my arms and kiss her, the people in the
common room be damned! Carefully she sits down next to me, obviously trying not to
disturb my pile of books. She glances at me, eyes wide, "Wow Hermione. You're going to
be busy this weekend!"

I smile slightly, attempting to look amused and a little agitated. I will be busy, but I wish
my plans included you. Not some dusty old Astronomy textbook. I wish you'd say
something, I wish you'd say anything.

...And I just wish you'd tell me you love me.


A/N: such fluff. Hermione angst. And I'm going to write more, even if you don't want it!
So please review! tell me how my first Hermione/Ginny (and my first slash in the Harry
Potter series!) went. Please? ^_^
