I unfortunately own nothing Potter related.It's all J.K's.
Chapter 1, The arm
Ginny sat in the Great Hall playing with her food, trying not to pay any attention to the arm that kept gently rubbing against her. Harry and Ron were near her talking about the recent Quidditch match between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. Hermione was reading a book that was propped up against her jug of pumpkin juice. Sometimes she would shake her head a little if the boys started to get to loud. Ginny joined in too, but that arm kept putting her off. I can't sit here! It's too distracting. If I could just sneak away maybe they won't notice I've gone. Hermione reached forward and turned another page her arm slowly moving along Ginny's. Ginny shuddered at the contact. That's it I can't take anymore. Ginny carefully leaned back and began to get up. But Harry was watching.
"Is it something I said Gin?" Harry looked up at her with a tiny pout on his face.
"No I'm just tired that's all. I've had so much work to do and I can't seem to get a decent nights rest." As Ginny moved, that arm was there again.
"If you need help with anything you know I'm here right? I'm not just good with books and cleverness. I can listen as well" Hermione had stopped reading to glance up at Ginny.
"Thanks Mione. I'm sure everything will be ok soon. It's the Quidditch practice and studies for my OWLS and the fact that you know who could turn up any minute to kill us all while we sleep. None of it gives you the warm and fuzzies." Ron started choking on a large bit of sausage in an effort to talk to Ginny. Harry thumped him hard a few times till Ron held up his hand saying he was fine.
"Hit him again just to make sure!" Hermione said as she watched the mutinous look on Ron's face.
"Cheers Mione you're real sympathetic at times. Anyway Ginny I was trying to say you don't need to worry 'cos you know I'm here to take care of you." Ron confidently put another fork load of food in his mouth.
"That really makes me feel safe Ron thank you." Ginny said and started to walk away from the table.
"Mione will you to teach me every defensive spell there is? I think I'm going to need it!" Ginny took off heading to the Gryffindor common room smiling as she heard Ron being thumped again.
