MOON STRUCK (harry potter fanfic)

Ginny In Trouble

Ron decides to pick on his sister, choosing her as the next victim. "Truth or dare, sister?" He asks, laughing cruelly. Ginny immediately answers, unlike everyone else so far. "Truth," she says. Ron nods, trying to think of a good truth. "Do you have any secrets?" Ron asks curiously. Ginny opens her mouth to speak but then quickly shuts it. She stands up and rushes into the basement bathroom, slamming the door. Everyone looks at each other questionably. Harry stands up and walks to the door. He knocks. "Ginny, may I come in?" He asks. "Yeah," her muffled voice responds. Harry opens the door and walks inside, shutting and locking the door behind him. Everyone remains where they are, despite their curiosity. In the bathroom Harry sits down next to Ginny on the cold tile. "Ginny, I know that you didn't want to tell them, and I'm glad you didn't, but they'll eventually find out sooner or later, probably tonight even," he says comfortingly, placing a hand on Ginny's shoulder. "Yeah, I guess you're right, how do you think Ron will react?" Ginny replies. "I have no idea, I just hope that he won't be angry at either one of us," Harry responds. Ginny nods in agreement. "So be confident, be ready for someone to follow the clues and figure it out," Harry says, now taking Ginny into a hug. "Okay, I'll try," Ginny whispers into Harry's chest. Once they break apart they stand up. "Remember, be confident," Harry reminds her. "Yes, I know, I'll try," she says. Harry quickly kisses her forehead then opens the door. Ginny quietly walks back to her seat. Harry does too, avoiding eye contact with anyone. Once he's seated, he speaks up, "Ginny, go on, it's your turn to pick someone." Ginny smiles lightly, thinking of her victim.
