Chapter 11

''Do I even get a choice?''

''No. Now stop moaning and hurry up...'' Hermione repeated as she pulled Ginny towards the Heads Common Room.

Ginny had been found out by the Lake was was told that she was sleeping over with Hermione and Alicia.

''What are we doing anyway?'' Ginny asked as they climbed through the hole behind a tapestry.

''No idea... We'll make it up as we go along...''

''Make what up?'' Alicia asked as she appeared at the foot of the stairs. Her hair had changed again. Emerald Green.

''What we're gonna be doing... I like you hair...'' Ginny said as she smiled over at her.

''Knew you would... I've always liked the colour of Harry's eyes...'' Alicia said as she sat down, Ginny joining her on the long couch.

''Harry's eyes are emerald, Jamie's eyes are sapphires... Did you notice that?'' Ginny said as she put her feet up on the glass table, where Hermione smacked them off again.

Alicia nodded but didn't speak. Her face was lit up in a grin that screamed out 'FORCED'. Her eyes lost the sparkle that had just returned.

''Oh yeah... That reminds me'' Hermione said as she sat opposite the girls. ''I know you won't talk to Jamie about it but you can talk to us... What's wrong?''

Ginny's smile changed and turned into a serious look while Alicia looked down.

''I... can't...'' Alicia said quietly, still focusing on her knees.
