Here's the first Harry/Ginny drabble in the collection I'm writing for Louise Foxhall's skittles challenge on HPFC. I had to write like fifty versions of this before I got one that that was decent, so it's not really my best writing, but I figured it was about time I posted something... Oh, and in case any of you were wondering the title is lyrics from the (awesome) song 'Rainbow Veins' by Owl City

Prompt: Lipstick
Words: 175
"They say that staring at someone's lips is a sure sign of attraction."
Hermione's words echoed in Harry's head as he attempted to write his transfiguration essay. There was no way that he was attracted to Ginny Weasley, no matter what Hermione said, she was his best mate's little sister for Merlin's sake! He didn't mean to stare at her lips. It was just that when she gnawed on the tip of her quill like that it was incredibly distracting. Didn't she realize that her lipstick was leaving a sticky red residue?
"Hey, Harry, can you pass me my book bag?" Ginny asked, not looking up from her potions textbook.
"Oh, yah. Sure!" Harry grabbed the bag and tossed it to her.
"Thanks," Ginny replied, fishing out a lipstick. Harry couldn't help but watch her as she applied another coat of the stuff. She noticed him staring and raised an eyebrow. Harry's cheeks turned scarlet and he muttered the first excuse that came to mind,
"Er, sorry... you have food in your teeth."
Lame ending is lame. Oh well, make sure to drop me a review, it only takes a few seconds and I love to get feedback on my writing :)
