It works, though. I really get the impression of movement. And I can really feel poor Ginny's distress.

Thank you very much. I just suddenly felt like doing something different. I will say, though, that - at least in my head - the 'she' isn't Ginny. But it is a very vague drabble, so it's really up to you to decide who the characters are. I admit that one line is rather clumsy and misleading as to the girl's identity.

Oh, so is this Voldemort's mother, then?

[greenwoodside]

Yup. After the break-up with Riddle sr.

This made me think of Ginny as well, although really, I don't associate Tom with anyone else but her so I am a bit narrow minded that way.
I really like this piece, the imagery is wonderful and there is something about the first time reading "she must lean forward, strain over the tops, stretch out an arm to hold her balance" that made me say it out loud twice.

Your icon is amazing, by the way. The image is so Tom from my head. Where is it from?

[greenwoodside]

Thank you. :)

The picture is of an actor called Paul Rhys playing Angelo in Measure for Measure. I got it by googling. Glad you like it.

I like it as Tom Riddle jr.'s mom about his dad... but that's just me.

...And you'd be dead right. :)
