Accidental Magic

Prologue

"Don't forget guys, another DA meeting next Wednesday!" Harry called out to the retreating group of Hogwarts students. Ginny smiled a little as she walked past him, glad to see him smile back.

Being Ginny's fifth year at Hogwarts, she was way over being silly around Harry due to a childhood crush. Her feelings for Harry hadn't gone away, but her ability to talk and be his friend had defiantly improved. She had even taken to sitting with the trio at meals and around the common room. Things were certainly looking up this year.

"Ginny!" A voice called behind her, making her turn and smile as Colin ran up beside her.

"Hey Colin, how's your arm?" She asked softly, given him a sympathetic look. During the meeting Ginny had hit him pretty roughly with a spell, Colin wasn't the best at defense.

"Its fine, Madame Pomfry fixed it up easily." Since Dumbledore was back in charge of Hogwarts this year, The DA was officially a school club. Harry was still in charge, but they had professor supervision and Madame Pomfry on call for any accidents.

"Good, you know I can help you practice some defense spells if you'd like?" She offered, Ginny was usually Colin's partner and she always felt bad when one of her curses hit him.

"That'd be great!" Colin said with an eager grin, before entering the portrait hole to the common room.

Ginny walked in behind him, moving to sit down at one of the tables in the corner. With the meeting she hadn't done her homework after classes, which meant she needed to do it all now before bed. She quickly pulled out some parchment and ink, deciding to work on her essay first.

----------------------------------------------------------

Hermione rolled her eyes, shaking her head at Ron as she entered the common room. "You can be so insensitive sometimes," She said softly, walking over to curl up in her seat in front of the fire. Ron plopped down on to the couch next to her seat, groaning loudly.

"What are you talking about now Hermione?" He asked, the annoyance showing up in his voice.

Hermione just shook her head, her curls moving side to side as she did so. "Nothing," and with that she opened her book, effectively ignoring anything else he had to say.

Ron gave Harry a questioning look, getting a clueless shrug in return. Deciding not to start a huge fight, Ron started a game of chess with Harry.

About thirty minutes later Hermione looked up from her book to see Ginny making her way over. With a smile Hermione closed her book, putting it off to the side and sitting up straight. "Hey Ginny."

"Hey guys, how's it going?" Ginny asked, sitting down on the couch next to her brother, looking over their game of chess curiously.

"Fine," was the short reply she got from both men, considering they were both far to concentrated on their game to really pay attention to her.

Ginny rolled her eyes at them, giving Hermione a small smirk. "That's good, so Ron I just saw Snape and McGonagall snogging in the corridor," She said casually, watching for any sort of reaction.

"Uh-huh," was the only reply she got, although she did receive a small laugh from Hermione.

"Harry!"

Ginny turned around at the sound of someone calling his name, her smile fading a little as she saw it was her roommate, Cara.

Harry glanced up at the sound of his name, watching as one of the girls from the DA walked over to him. "Uh hey," He said unsurely, not really remembering her name.

"Hello Harry, I was just wondering if maybe you could help me with something?" She asked, a bright smile on her face, her hands twisting together in a nervous gesture.

Ginny bit on the inside of her cheek as Harry agreed, planning out a time with her after classes. Listening in on the conversation she learned that apparently Cara was in need of help with her Patronus, everyone else in sixth year had it perfect except her.

"I'll see you tomorrow then, thank you so much," Cara said with a small wave, turning and walking back to her two friends who giggled.

Ginny looked away from the girls and to Harry, who had gone back to the game without another thought. It wasn't that Ginny didn't like her Roommate, it was more so that she had heard Cara gush on about Harry before and despite her being a nice girl, it was obvious what she really wanted.

Putting a smile back onto her face Ginny stood up, pulling her bag up onto her shoulder. "Well, I think I'm going to head off to bed, see you all tomorrow," She said with false cheer, giving Hermione an extra smile so the girl wouldn't be suspicious.

Once in the safety of her deserted dorm room, Ginny set down her bag and laid on her bed. She let out a loud sigh, glaring at the ceiling as if it was the culprit. "Stupid boys," she muttered, but then thought about it and decided it was the other girls who were stupid.

Ginny wasn't sure how long she thought about it, but she didn't start to drift to sleep until her other three dorm mates were already in bed. After today her last thought before sleep was simple, everything could be so much easier if everyone was an open book, honest and out spoken on all their thoughts. To bad it would never happen.
