A/N- I'm terribly sorry for not updating. I've had so much to do these past days. I actually found time to type this up and I still have to write the next chapter. I'm going to try and get that done over Thanksgiving so hopefully chapter 6 will be after Thanksgiving. Reviewers- You guys rock and I don't know if I would have been able to go on further if you guys hadn't review.
Last Chapter
With that class ended and Ginny packed her things quickly and left the room without looking back. This day was not looking good.
A Life Perfect yet Missing Chapter 5
The rest of the day passed without real incident unless you counted Monica giving Ginny looks of loath every chance she got.
Ginny didn't really care for she had other things to worry about. Her detention with Harry, no Professor Potter, was at the top of her mind. She had managed to get detention on the first day of school.
"I'm just going to have to manage." Ginny told herself.
Ginny went up to the Common Room and started doing an essay for Transfiguration. By the time it was finished it was time for her detention with Harry. She cleaned up and went up to her room to make sure she was looking okay.
Even though she disliked Harry at the moment, she knew she could never be mad at him for long.
She made her way to Harry's classroom and lightly rapped on the door.
"Come in," Harry's voice called.
Ginny opened the door slowly to find Harry standing at the bookshelf reading a heavy volume.
Harry looked up and saw Ginny at the doorway, just like earlier that day. He put his book back on the shelf and strode over to Ginny.
"Hi, Gin", Harry, said softly as he looked into her deep brown eyes.
"Hi Har- Professor Potter", Ginny stuttered. She knew Harry's eyes would be the death of her someday.
"It's alright, you can call me Harry. Just don't say it in the classroom or in front of the teachers", Harry said with a smile.
"Then why did you give me detention?" Ginny asked gaping.
"Isn't it obvious? I wanted to talk with you." Harry said smirking. "Come and sit down with me."
Ginny was now confused. Why on earth would Harry Potter want to talk with her? "Don't get your hopes up Weasley. He hasn't said he's madly in love with you, now has he?"
Once again, Ginny's mind had been taken over her heart.
Harry poured some coffee for the both of them and sat down at his desk.
"So how's your family doing? Ron? Hermione? I haven't seen any of them since the beginning of the summer. Time's really flown by after Dumbledore asked me to be the Defense teacher."
Ginny replied, "There're all doing fine. Bill and Fleur announced their going to have a baby soon and Charlie is still in Romania. The twins are usual and lastly Ron is still trying to figure out a way to ask Hermione to marry him but I don't think he's come up with anything so far."
Harry chuckled at the last at the last comment. He knew his best friends were meant to be together and he wished the best for the two.
"Harry?" Ginny called out to him, breaking him out of his reverie.
"Oh, what?" Harry asked sheepishly.
"I said I had to leave. I have to finish all my essays and go out on patrol at night but it was really nice talking with you Harry." Ginny smiled.
"Alright Ginny. Come back and visit me. I'm going to get really lonely grading all these papers." Harry said softly and got up and came closer to Ginny.
Ginny sucked her breath as he reached out to finger one of Ginny's auburn locks, coming closer and closer to him.
"Ginny" Harry breathed out. Ginny closed her eyes savoring the feel of Harry's hand now caressing her soft milky white cheek with the utmost care. In her mind, Ginny knew this was wrong and a student/teacher relationship couldn't develop if there was one to begin with but his hand was now tracing her contour of her face in the most desirable way. Ginny wanted to do nothing better than kiss his ruby rips but forced herself to think clearly.
Without realizing it, Ginny bumped lightly against the door. She knew she has to stop before it got out of hand. She fumbled with the doorknob and once she grasped it, she took one look at Harry's face before fleeing the classroom.
Ginny ran all the way to the Gryffindor common room, her mind still trying to process what had just occurred. Ginny decided to go to bed early, despite the homework she had to do and her patrolling. As she closed her eyes, the events of the evening flashed through her mind. Unknown to her a certain green eyed man was looking at the starry night pondering about the same events.
