The next day Harry was about to go down for breakfast. When he saw Ginny
in the common Room. It took one look at Ginny for his palms to began
sweating and his nerves to possessed him. Harry didn't understand, What
the hell was wrong with him?
'Morning Harry' Ginny said in a cheerful low tone.
'Morning Ginny' Harry answer her, smiling back and feeling like the world had been his at that very moment. 'Are you going down for breakfast? I- I'm going there now, If you want we can go down together.'
'Yeah, that would be great' Ginny said smiling. It always made him feel so much better when she smiled.
Looking a bit nervous they went down and sat down close together. There weren't that much people in the great hall so they were able to find a quiet corner in the table for themselves and sat closely to each other.
'Good news we have double potions today' she said a spark of sarcasm on her voice.
'I know. I look forward to it. Snape is such a great teacher' Harry answer her playing along with her on the game.
Ginny giggled and Harry got lost in the sound of her laughter and the sound of her voice. She went on about Prof. Snape extraordinary abilities and Harry listen to her as he laughed and played with his breakfast. They had almost finished breakfast and mocking Snape when Ron and Hermione came in looking both very disgruntled.
'You could have woken me you know' Ron said.
'I was waiting for you in the common room' said Hermione to Ginny.
Ginny looked shocked. 'I-I'm sorry. Umm . . ."
Harry felt flushed. How did he forget about Ron? He was supposed to wait for him downstairs and he had totally forgotten. He felt better that he wasn't the only one, though. Ginny looked like had also forgotten about Hermione.
'Don't' worry about it' said Ron looking at Harry like if he had know what he was about to say.
'Forget it!' said Hermione smirking at Ginny.
'I'm sorry!' Ginny said as she looked a bit disturbed. Harry and Ginny had finished their breakfast. Ginny set off towards Trewlaney classroom in the other side of the castle. Harry watched her go until she wasn't visible anymore. He couldn't remember how long he had been sitting there his eyes fixed on the last point he saw Ginny.
'Harry!' said Ron almost shouting at Harry, making him jump.
'What!' Harry said looking at him.
'We have charms let's get going.' Harry picked up his bag and set off to Charms. Harry had a hard time concentrating in Charms and was hoping for his sake that Lupin's class was interesting this time or he was going to be in trouble.
In Defense against the Dark Arts Harry was a bit more at tentative and as Lupin explained some counter-curse Harry saw The daily Prophet on Hermione desk and pull it a bit. He saw that Voldemort had started to do, what he was best at. Attack people. But it was then that Harry realized that recently he had stopped completely feeling him. It wasn't only that his Occlumency lessons were going well. He didn't feel any pain in his scar, it felt like he had no connection to Voldemort. He wonder if it was normal that Occlumency could do that.
'Mr. Potter!' Harry jumped out upon hearing his name and saw Prof. Lupin looking at him with an exasperated look on his face.
'What is the counter-course that I have just mention' Lupin asked with a confused expression on his face.
'I don't know, Sorry,' Harry said in a low voice.
Lupin turned around and continued with the class. Harry was relieved that he didn't take point from Gryffindor but he couldn't understand his mind sliping so easily. He usually didn't have that problem in Snape class. Well he did but only when he worked with Ron and Hermione. He never had a problem paying attention when he was in Snape class with Ginny or in the library when he study with her.
When the class finished Harry didn't even bother to get up from his seat. He knew that Lupin would want to talk to him. The look on his face was enough for Harry.
'I'm glad that you were able to finally join the rest of the class down here on earth.' Lupin said on a sarcasm voice.
'I didn't do it intentionally.' Harry retorted.
'I know. I'm just wondering what's wrong. You seemed distracted. I saw you reading the Daily Prophet. Is it Voldemort?' Lupin asked.
'Is it normal that if I master Occlumency I can't feel Voldemort and my scar doesn't hurt anymore?' Harry asked.
'Occlumeny will block Voldemort from getting into your mind but it won't stop him or you from the feelings. You scar has stopped bothering you?' Lupin asked with a confused look on his face.
'I can't even remember when was the last time I felt it. With all those things that he's doing, I though -'
'You don't feel anything at all. He has been very active lately.' Lupin interrupted.
'No, nothing at all, strange isn't? . It's like my scar doesn't exist. I have to go. I'll be late for potions and I don't want to leave Ginny alone with Snape.' Harry said quickly.
'Ginny Weasley?' Lupin asked curiosly.
'She is my partner on Snape class. Do I have to come for Occlumency lessons today?' Harry asked hoping that Lupin will tell him that he didn't. But Lupin raised and eyebrow and Harry immediately understood what he was trying to say. He waved Lupin and left.
On his way to Snape Class he kept on thinking about his scar and why it he had not felt for such long time. He had stopped having dreams or anything at all. He had not changed anything except get better in Occlumeny. However when he entered Snape class and sat next to Ginny the thought was driven out of his mind. She looked angry and troubled.
'What's wrong?' Harry asked. Ginny shock her head and gave him sings that Snape was watching them. 'Later' she whispered to him.
Snape kept a close watch on them all class and Harry was unable to find what was bothering Ginny. The thought of what had affected her that way had him nervous and anxious. He couldn't wait for the class to finish so they could go outside.
When Snape released the class Harry and Ginny were the first ones out.
'What happen?' Harry asked.
'Nothing really, I-I. Forget about it, it's nothing important' Ginny said but she still looked disturbed. Harry didn't let it go. 'Ginny you can't fool me, please tell me what's wrong. It's lunch will sit down right now in a tree on the lake and you will tell me what's bothering you.' Harry said as he grabbed Ginny's books and urge her to walk.
They had found a spot under the best tree and sat there. 'Ok now tell me what has you looking so angry.' Harry said as he looked directly into her eyes.
Ginny sighed and closed her eyes as she began. 'You remember yesterday when Ron asked his questions about -'
'Where had you kissed with Corner?' Harry interrupted.
'Yes, well I found Hermione when she was getting out of Arithmacy and we started talking about that. I had not even notice that Malfoy was nearby he heard everything I told Hermione and then started on how he didn't blame Michael for not wanting to kiss me. You know he got nasty. . . I was so stupid! I just don't want that all over the Daily prophet, it's not his business.' Ginny said as she looked more disturbed than ever.
'He better not if he doesn't want me to jinx him to death. What else did he said?' Harry asked getting the feeling that Ginny wasn't telling him the whole story.
'You know his nasty comments, nothing new though.' Ginny said, as she looked somewhat pink.
'Ginny don't lie to me you're hiding something.' Harry said in an exasperated tone and hating himself for speaking to her that way.
'The thing is that he starting suggesting very loud in the hall, how If you that were famous didn't want to kiss me. What made me think that anyone would want to? I'm just angry that I was stupid enough to discuss that in a place that anybody could hear me.' Ginny said.
'What makes him think that I don't want to kiss you?' Harry piped out, but no sooner than he did he felt himself go red and he felt as he had missed a complete staircase. Ginny looked completely astonish and unable to articulate one single word. She open her mouth and then closed again as she looked away.
Harry tried desperate to think of anything to say. 'I-I mean I was much younger, I don't think that it was appropriate for me to kiss you then -' Harry stopped horrified as the last word escape his mouth. What was he doing? He didn't want to kiss Ginny, she was Ron's sister! Horrified he open his mouth to say something but was unable to speak and feeling himself hotter, he closed his mouth again.
'Do you want to go for lunch?' Ginny asked after a few minutes of silence.
'Yeah, w-we should go back,' almost shaking and still feeling like he had missed a complete staircase they walk in silence to the great hall.
'Morning Harry' Ginny said in a cheerful low tone.
'Morning Ginny' Harry answer her, smiling back and feeling like the world had been his at that very moment. 'Are you going down for breakfast? I- I'm going there now, If you want we can go down together.'
