Re: Lily and Ginny
When Lily brought up Harry, Ginny nearly sighed, but she bit it back. And then Lily asked her question, and her eyes widened, brows shooting up a bit in surprise. "Oh my--Lily, wherever would you get an idea like that? Of course not!"
Of course, a couple beats later, it clicked in place for her, and she blew out a breath. Of course, the Birdie article. Merlin, that had been months ago. Had Lily been stressing about that all this time? Was that why she'd been distant? "Your father would never have an affair with a student," she said firmly. She really hadn't thought anyone close to them would have believed the subtle implication--it was so absurd that anyone could have believed it!
