Sitting in the Gryffindor Common Room, in her favorite chair by the fire, Ginny was idly fidgeting with the bottom of her over-sized jumper and laughing softly. Hermione, sitting next to her in the huge chair, shook her head as her cheeks burned bright red.
She smiled slyly over at her friend, amazed how easy it was to get Hermione all flummoxed about certain things. “I really don’t see how that is any of your business,” Hermione commented. Though her friend had appeared to be offended, Ginny knew she wasn’t, it was just her defensiveness welling up due to the subject.
“Well, I can let you know,” Ginny teased, refusing to let it go. “I mean, I’ve seen it.” She giggled madly. She was having fun for the first time in weeks. OWLs were worse than anyone said, even after Hermione had almost had a nervous breakdown the year before, things with Dean were…she didn’t even know and there was still a strange tension between her and Harry.
As well, there were still the bad memories of what had happened at the end of last year between her and Heidi. Ginny tried not to think about it, but she was unsuccessful in avoiding it creeping into her thoughts more often than not.
“No!” Hermione squealed, turning bright red.
“What, you’ve seen it so you don’t need me to tell you?” Ginny grinned as Hermione buried her face in her hands. Curious faces around the common room were beginning to look over which only increased Ginny’s fun and Hermione’s embarrassment.
When Ron and Harry came in, her fun was over. She didn’t want to be cruel. Hermione gave Ginny a thankful look when it was clear that she wasn’t going to tease her any further.
Still chuckling, while Harry and Ron sat obliviously on the other side of the room, Ginny picked up her book to do her reading assignment for Defense Against the Dark Arts. The last thing she needed was Snape on her case. |
