July 29 - Evening
Everyone was at the Order Meeting and Ginny tried not to feel bitter about it, she really did. But she was tired, and her thoughts seemed to be running on a loop in her mind, fast forwarded until she felt dizzy from it.
She stood in the water at the edge of the lake, her denims rolled up to her knees, and watched the moon reflect off the black ripples. The water was freezing, but it felt good against her skin, which seemed almost elecric with heat. She was edgy and maybe she needed to swim, or fly, or something to make everything inside of her quiet down.
Instead she bent down, reaching into the water, her fingers closing around a rock, smooth and round. She stood, her hand dripping, and threw it hard, skimming it across the water. The ripples seemed to echo and she waited until they calmed before reaching down to get another rock.
