Chapter 5...Truth Be Told
Ginny aoke the next morning, very comfortable in Severus's arms. She didn't want to open her eyes.
"Wake up, love." Ginny heard Severus whisper. Unwillingly she opened her eyes to look at her lover. "You'd better get dressed for school, don't want anybody to get suspicious." Ginny groaned, but eventually got out of bed and put her robe back on and headed back up towards the Gryffindor Tower. Fourtunately, she met no one on the way, until she was inside the portrait hole. Hermione was there, and she had a look of shock on her face.
"Ginevra! Where have you been? I went to look for you in your dormitory and i was so worried when you weren't there! Now, Where the hell have you been?!?" Hermione demanded. Ginny thought for a moment. Hermione was one of her best friends - she knew she couldn't keep it from her for long. She whispered where she had been and what she had done in Hermione's ear, and made her promise not to tell.
"Ginny!" shrieked Hermione, "What if you had been caught? What if Dumbledore or another teacher finds out? What if- "
"Hermione, chill out! I don't go to see him every night! And besides- "
"But, Ginny, how long have you been doing this?"
"Since about the middle of last year." Hermione smacked her hand to her forehead.
"Whatever. I don't even want to think about this anymore, c'mon. Let's go to breakfast."
Ginny ran upstairs and put some real clothes on, then ran back to Hermione to join her in breakfast. Once they reached the Great Hall, they took seats by Ron and Harry, who were looking dead.
"What's the matter with you two?" asked Hermione, looking at Ron. At that moment Harry's head fell into his porridge and he started snoring. Ron stared at him with his eyes half open. Hermione pulled Harry's head out and slapped him. "Wake up!"
While this was going on, Ginny was staring at the staff table again, and she felt a pair of eyes on her, other than Snape's. She looked down the High table to see Dumbledore's eyes on her, twinkling as they always did when he knew something he should not.
