░░░░░░ ☾ ginny’s selfishness is like a raw nerve in her chest. all she wants is for this moment to last forever, where she can pretend that everything that’s gone wrong in their lives simply doesn’t exist at all. that she can pretend that he does not have the weight of the world on his shoulders and she does not have unhealed scars all over her heart. that it’s just them: harry and ginny.
her mother will just think it’s growing pains; that ginny wants to find something exciting in the mundane, even though her life is turning out to be anything but. between opening the chamber and the battle at the ministry, ginny doesn’t know why she would even want to seek out any more trauma. but she closes her eyes, knowing that she breathes in his breath, that he wants her here, not anyone else. that it’s her arms around him.
stupid boy. pathetic girl.
“it’s okay.” she whispers, the corners of her lips lifting slightly. “demelza snores, anyway. i need a break.”
