After the incident in the detention room, Ginny had quickly bid Persephone goodbye, almost as if she were fleeing for her life.
It was amusing, really, because Persephone could tell her flirting was working. The way Ginny flushed, the way her responses grew clipped and defensive—those were signs. Even more telling was the fact that Ginny didn't push her away when she touched her. That alone gave Persephone hope. She had a chance, and she was determined to take it.
Their next encounter was unexpected. Persephone found Ginny standing under an awning near the school grounds, arms crossed as she stared at the rain pouring down in steady sheets. Her expression was a mix of annoyance and resignation, clearly waiting for the storm to pass.
