"Secrets"
Chapter 7 is DONE!!!
It's a bit shorter than I expected, but then, it was originally only half of chapter-6-that-grew-way-too-big-for-its-own-good, so I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Actually, the final scene isn't what I meant to write at all, but I got sick of writing Tom and Ginny helpfully went off to the hospital wing to see if Colin really was Petrified, and then went off to wallow in misery, which is a reasonable enough breaking point that I don't want to bother forcing her to hash it all out with Tom.
Because by this point, readers should know more or less what he's going to say, or at least what the upshot of the conversation will be. And as long as I'm in a writing groove, I ought to start chapter 8 instead of dragging chapter 7 out even further.
