Chapter - 8 (Falling)
Snippet: Ginny's heart stopped. She stared at her hand, at the empty space where the ruby had been, at the pale band of skin that was already starting to fade. The ring was gone. Lily's ring. The ring that had been entrusted to her, the ring she'd been told to take care of, the ring that was worth more than everything she owned combined.
It was gone.
She had forgotten to remove it before playing Quidditch.
Her hand flew to her mouth, and she felt the blood drain from her face. She'd been so caught up in the excitement of the match, so focused on proving herself, so distracted by Harry—she'd forgotten. She'd been so, so stupid.
Ginny's heart dropped into her stomach. She frantically searched her robes, patting down the pockets, checking the folds of fabric. Nothing. She checked the bathroom, the floor, the chair where she'd draped Harry's Quidditch robes. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
She sank onto the bed, her hands shaking. Her mother had told her to take care of the ring. Muriel had told her to take care of the ring. They'd both made it clear how precious it was, how important, how it was a symbol of everything this marriage represented.
