Study Break
By: Christina "Tina" Sesok
Ron looked at Harry and Ginny with a flicker of anger. Ever since they began dating, Ron had showed a slight resentment toward the couple. Ginny, was now curled up against Harry, studying. Well, actually, Harry was quizzing Ginny on her Potions O.W.L. Her vivid red hair fell in her face, as Ginny thought about the question.
"I don't know, Harry. Can't you just tell me the answer?" she asked, snuggling up closer against him. Harry laughed as he wrapped his arm around her.
"You know I could, but then you wouldn't learn anything," Harry replied.
"Learning is highly overrated, I hear. Just look at Fred and George."
"I'm sure your Mum would be thrilled to learn that you've decided to follow Fred and George's wonderful example."
"I was joking!"
"I know you were. Come on, O.W.L.'s are coming up soon, and you need to study," Harry said, flipping through the book on his lap.
Finny said in a whinny voice, "I can't concentrate. Let's go somewhere else."
Ginny took Harry's hand, and they left the Common Room. On their was out, they passed Ron, who gave them a scornful look. When the two found an empty classroom, Harry realized what Ginny wanted.
"Ginny, no," Harry said, between kisses. "You have O.W.L.'s coming up, and if you fail, it'll be my fault."
"No, you can't blame yourself if I fail. It'll be my fault," Ginny said, as she wrapped her arms around Harry's waist, and rested her head on his chest.
"It's not whose fault it is, I'm just afraid what you Mum'll do." Ginny laughed, and brushed Harry's dark hair out of his face.
"My Mum? She won't be too mad."
"I'm not so sure about that." Ginny began to pout.
"Just a five minute study break?" she asked. Harry kissed her softly.
"Just five minutes," he repeated quietly. Harry kissed Ginny, and slid his hands through her hair.
