This is a bit of a loose translation of the prompt, but I think you can see where I'm going. And, man, that word limit is a pain!
(Question – should the chapters be titled by the prompt or the character?)
It is just before the final battle that Ginny thinks it time to take charge of her love life.
Six years of pining have led to this.
Most of the students have gone to sleep, lights out and room quiet. She seizes her moment.
"Hey," she whispers, leaning over a few sleeping wizards. She taps his shoulder. "Do you want to go out?"
"Me?"
"Yes," she squeaks, her nerves getting the best of her.
"If we make it through the battle . . . Hogsmeade?"
"Of course we'll make it, Colin."
"Sure."
She's optimistic, but has never been more wrong.
