Summary: She feels like a grown-up tonight.
Note: 100-word drabble for 10k_drabbles
Ginny feels strong enough tonight, having hexed Malfoy, won forty points in Quidditch and defended Luna. She feels like a grown-up.
"Don't try anything funny, Riddle..." she whispers upon sensing his presence. "I've changed."
His laughter reverberates, coaxing her eyes shut. "Words, Ginny..."
The mattress dips on either side of her, where his arms must be. Her instinct uncoils and she thinks of kisses, Michael's, Dean's, Harry's, reckons nothing of the sort can hurt her anymore, purses her mouth --
Cold, ghostly lips brush her cheek instead.
She feels like such a child.
Minutes after Tom leaves, Ginny is still shaking.
