On The Train- Ginny's 4th Year

"Well, I always thought he was a bit of an idiot," he said, prodding his queen forward toward Harry's quivering castle. "Good for you. Just choose-someone-better-next time."

He cast Harry an oddly furtive look as he said it.

"Well, I've chosen Dean Thomas, would you say he's better?" said Ginny vaguely.

"WHAT?" shouted Ron, upending the chessboard.

"HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?" Ron said his facing purpling by the second.

"Oh calm down you git, and I'll tell you." Ginny retorted, without a glance up from The Quibbler she was scribbling on.

"It was right after Michael and I split, and no Ron- he's not a rebound guy or vice versa-. I was sitting in our common, ironically reading this exact Quibbler, and he walks in with Seamus. They're talking away, Dean caught my eye, and Seamus headed up to the boy's dormitory, a impish grin on his face. I didn't know why then, but I do now. "

"JUST GET TO THE POINT, WILL YOU?" Ron said with frustration.

"Calm down, anyway, Dean sat next to me, and NO, it wasn't just then I realized he was cute, oh shut it you two! Continuing on, we talked for a bit, and all of a sudden Dean got kind of sketchy and wouldn't meet my glance. Oh LEAVE if you aren't going to listen Ron! You asked for it! Next thing he did was ask me out, I said yes, and that is how I chose Dean, my lovely brother."

Ron just gaped, Harry was busily picking up the chess pieces, and Hermione was grinning.

"Adorable!" Hermione commented at last.

"Thomas never told me he liked my sister! MY SISTER!" Ron fumed.

Ginny rolled her eyes and stood up, heading out the compartment.

"Where are you going?" Ron asked raising his eyebrows.

"To sit with Dean" and with a wink and grin, Ginny closed the compartment door.

"MY SISTER".

Ginny laughed as she heard Ron's input of, "MY SISTER" and reminded herself to thank him later for being so caring. Sliding open a compartment door, she found herself looking down at the smiling face of Dean.

" So, you DID get a compartment to yourself then" Ginny said slyly.

"Of course" Dean answered, wiggling his eyebrows.

Ginny sat down and snuggled into Dean.

"So- how'd Ron take it?" Dean asked nervously.

"He was revolted"

"Charming" Dean, said looking sick.

"Don't worry, by the time we get to the Platform, he'll be congratulating you"

"Are you sure?"

"Simply positive."
