Chapter 3

Colin Creevey unfolded the note he had written, looking around the room nervously. He had written the note instead of taking the notes about some stupid charm Mr. Flitwick was droning in a robotic voice about. (Colin had not taken the time to notice the name of the charm.)

Biting his lip, Colin precisely folded the piece of parchment on which the note was written, being especially careful lest the note split into sixteen little pieces, one for each section of the folded parchment, so many times had the note been folded and refolded again and again.

Colin closed his eyes, sighed deep, and passed the note over.

Over, over, upward, over, upward,upward, and over the note passed to its intended destination: Ginny Weasley. On its way, the note attracted attention of two giggling Ravenclaws, a Hufflepuff obviously enamored with the idea of a romantic prospect, a leering Slytherin, and Jenniferette Waxil, who gave Colin a sympathetic smile as she passed the note to Ginny.

Ginny received the note and opened it very carefully, being careful not to call attention to herself, especially attention from Professor Flitwick, who was teaching a mere five feet away.

The littlest Weasley smiled when she recognized Colin Creevey's handwriting. Slowly, stealthily, Ginny picked up her quill and began to write the reply to the note which reads as follows:

"Ginny--

I have had my eye on you ever since you started hanging around my dear friends Jenniferette and Sarah. You are the most vibrant, beautiful girl I have ever met. You are more fascinating than my collection of boogers from assorted muggle and magical celebrities and you smell better than Neville Longbottom's grandma (who, I understand, showers thrice daily and uses a variety of lotions and moisturizers to keep her skin less wrinkly and smelling sweet with a healthy glow).

Will you go out with me?

With like-like,

Colin Creevey

P.S. Neville's grandma also probably smells good because she fills her house with pot popery.

P.P.S. But still you probably smell better.

Professor Flitwick had just finished the lecture on the charm and the class had begun to practice the charm. Because of this, Ginny had not time to pass the reply to Colin's not back to him, so instead she daydreamed about Colin while stumbling through the (relatively easy) charm while waiting for class to end.

Finally, after what seemed like eons, class ended. Ginny caught Colin at the door.

"Don't even bother reading my note," she said, as she handed her reply to him, "I said yes."

No Ginny don't fall for it….
