Well, there's another story. I hope you will like it. By now pure fluff,
rated for language and maybe later chapters.
Nothing is mine and so on. Have fun!
Chapter One: NICE SURPRISE
‚Well there we are' Ginny sighed inwardly. She was sitting in the DADA classroom at her first day in her last year of Hogwarts. And what a beginning it has been.
~~~~~~~
Summer had been great. After the defeat of the big bad asshole everyone spent the first carefree summer in ages recovering and just enjoying life. As for going back to Hogwarts she had looked forward with mixed feelings. She loved the place and missed her friends, but three of them would not be there anymore. However everything turned out different, doesn't it always.
The great hall was full of chatting an laughter until Dumbledore rose from his chair. "Before we begin the sorting I have the pleasure to introduce our new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Though I suspect not much introducing has to be done. Prof. McGonagall would you be so nice to call for him. Every eye was turned to the great wooden doors as the head of Gryffindor stepped in with....
If it hadn't been for Colin Creevy catching her, Ginny would have drooped backwards from the bench. To well she knew the features of Harry Potter. She hadn't recovered when he passed touching her shoulder lightly. She couldn't hear what was said or the applause, she just stared at the tall young man taking his seat at the teachers table.
As soon as the ceremony was over Ginny rose from her seat fuming. One quick look from Colin and he knew this wasn't turning out too good. He took hold of her hand that was resting still on the table. "Isn't that a nice surprise?" he asked carefully.
"Nice surprise!" Ginny shrieked "Nice surprise, I will show him nice surprise, when I'm finished with hexing him into a bloody pulp." She made her way up to where Harry was surrounded by teachers and students. There was just no way to get through. She saw him searching for her in the crowd and then flashed her a cheerful smile, that she couldn't return. She turned around and stomped out of the hall.
When she reached the door Dumbledore called for order. "My dear students I'm well aware that the lot of you know Mr. Potter by his first name. However I must insist on giving him every respect as a teacher and call him Prof. Potter."
"HA!" Ginny snorted loudly and left. She didn't see the astonished looks on some peoples faces or hear soft chuckles. Indeed she had been heard by nearly everybody in the room.
~~~~~~~
"Ah and last but not least Miss Weasley!" Harry finished going through the class list.
Ginny deep in thought shrieked up at the mentioning of her name. "Here!" she said automatically.
"Don't tell me, thanks Miss Weasley that you're joining us again. It seemed you had been in a complete different world." Harry stood while she shot him a menacing glare. "If anybody thought that there will be a difference in treating in favour to a certain redhead – and yes Miss Stone I overheard you talking about it. I can calm you all. Well apart from Miss Weasley of course. As you might have experienced, I know her to well not to recognise what's going on in her mind. I think you would agree on this being a sure disadvantage at her side. I will under no circumstances treat anybody - none of you - different. Understood?"
He looked at some Slytherin pupils and smirked "Or maybe I will" All Slytherins took in sharp breaths. "Oh come on guys, loosen up. I'm joking. We will have good fun this year." Some would sigh in relief others weren't quite so sure if "having good fun" for him would be the same for them.
For the remaining time Harry explained on what he was intending to work with them this year. Although Ginny refrained from looking at him she listened carefully this time. He was doing extraordinary well. Why was she surprised. Three years of DA meetings apart from defeating Voldemorte should qualify for teaching DADA, shouldn't it.
Ginny packed her stuff very slowly with an angry look on her face. "I guess you will be late for lunch." Colin said.
"Bet on it and close the door when you leave."
He did as said but stayed, determined to get every bit of the conversation. What shouldn't be a problem knowing Ginny's temper, even through a closed door. However although regretting deeply he cast a silencing charm seconds later to much concerned the whole school would hear her.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING POTTER! OH SORRY, PROFESSOR POTTER, ISN'T IT! COMING HERE PLAYING ALL GROWN UP AND SERIOUS, TO MY ARSE" Ginny shouted as soon as the door clicked shut.
"Well, honestly I thought you would be happy to see me and I enjoyed the stunned look on your face greatly. And you should definitely mind your language Miss Weasley."
"BY MERLIN AND IF NOT. YOU GIVE ME DETENTION" she laughed bitterly.
"Now that you speak of it. Gin, come on don't you even say hello." Harry stood up and hugged her. "WELL, Prof. Potter I'm not sure if this is the right treatment for one of your pupils. Her body stiffened in his arms and he let go of her.
"Why are you so upset with me?"
"WHY? WHY? YOU STUPID GIT! HE'S REALLY ASKING WHY. WHAT ABOUT NOT TELLING ME A WORD. WHAT ABOUT JUST SHOWING UP HERE LEAVING ME COMPLETE DUMBSTRUCK. WHAT ABOUT SHARING THIS NEWS WITH YOUR FRIEND GIVING YOUR FRIEND TIME TO GET USED TO HAVE A FRIEND AS FUCKING TEACHER!"
"Gin, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was so important for you. I just thought it was fun. A surprise. I didn't know it for long myself!"
"BUT STILL YOU DID KNOW AND WHAT ABOUT NOT IMPORTANT. I THOUGHT I WOULD BE HERE ALONE - MISSING YOU ALL. MADE ME BLOODY SAD. COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT!"
Harry had tried to keep calm but Ginny shouting always got the better of him "GOD DAM! I SAID I'M SORRY. AND WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY WHO WOULD MISS SOMEBODY!"
"AH SO YOU JUST CAME HERE TO KEEP ME COMPANY, HOW NICE. DO YOU REALLY THINK I FALL FOR THAT ONE!"
Harry went silent. Little did Ginny know what important role she played for him deciding to go back to Hogwarts.
Ginny was ready to ramble on when she saw the hurt look in his eyes. She sighed heavily "What am I doing here, I'm sorry. Of course I'm happy you're here and it's nice that you said you would have missed me as well. I was just hurt that you wouldn't confide in me. That I don't know how it come and why you choose to come here. I felt left out."
"It should have been a joke and it went badly wrong. I never intended to hurt you." As he hugged her this time she answered with pulling him even closer if that was possible.
They stood for a while. Then Harry whispered in hear. "I know that you finish at four today. What about paying a visit to Hagrid and I tell you everything you want to know."
"Fair enough" she mumbled in his shoulder when they heard a knock. They parted and Colin peeked through the open door.
"Ahem, Prof. Potter I think Prof. McGonagall is coming to see you and Ginny we should go to get something to eat before classes start again."
"Yes of course, Colin. Sorry for keeping you waiting!" she joined Colin and waved goodbye. "Have you been standing here all the time?" she whispered.
"Yup!"
"Why?"
"First I was nosy than I was worried."
"Worried why?"
"Come on I had to cast a silencing charm in order not to let anybody know what was going on between you two!" he wriggled his eyebrows suggestively.
She didn't get his meaning "Well, thanks. Maybe my language might have gotten a little bit off hand."
"Yes of course your language and nothing else."
Now she got it and slapped Colin playfully "Get your mind out of the gutter, Mister."
Both said nothing more. Colin just smirked, if she wanted to play the blind one.
Ginny didn't have the slightest suspicion on behalf of her feelings or Harry's. Nor did Prof. McGonagall who met Harry still having a happy grin plastered on his face.
However another one hadn't been quite so blind.
Nothing is mine and so on. Have fun!
