Ch.2
In his new office that night Harry let out a groan of frustration. Ginny was prettier this year than he remembered and it was annoying because she seemed to do that a lot. Not only did she not know that he was having trouble teaching his classes, if he tried to act on his feelings for her, it could cost him his job.
Still, an image of her floated in his mind, irritating, but beautiful. He groaned again. His door creaked open and he saw her standing there. She closed the door.
"If anyone thinks I'm taking remedial D.A.D.A., you are so dead," she hissed.
He gestured for her to take a seat. "You don't want to take classes alone with me?"
Mentally he shook his head. That called up too many exciting thoughts of him and her together. Alone. He gulped.
She turned red and replied, "Sure, just not remedial."
Then she changed the subject. "So, are you coming to the burrow for Christmas?"
"Well, I was planning on it. Your mother told me you were expecting loads of people."
"Yeah, everyone but Percy. Mum invited most of the order. I think it'll be good for her to see people, with the war over now she just wants to know everyone is safe and happy. "
"Sounds just like her. She cares about everyone and that is the thing I like most about her. You'd better go because it's almost curfew but I wanted to ask if I could have a picture of you in your bridesmaid dress."
She pulled out her wand. "Mention that dress ever again and you'll pay. I guess I do have to be going though, I still have Charms homework and it looks complicated."
There was no way he was getting any sleep tonight.
Ginny had inhaled her breakfast and was on her way to the quittich pitch. The team not only had to replace the keeper position Ron had left, but also the seeker, which seemed a bit strange after seven years with the same one. Apart from the time, Ginny, herself, had held the position for part of a year.
It didn't really matter if she was late. Roger, the team captain, had a crush on her and in his eyes she could get away with murder. Still, she liked to set a good example. Throwing open the door, she hustled in but was stopped short by the image of Harry without his shirt on. He turned to face her head on.
"Hey Gin," he said before pulling on his old Gryffindor robe. She couldn't even manage a full sentence, just mumbled, "Hi" back before running to the girls' side.
Not that it was really her fault, she rationalized, I can hardly function around Harry with his clothes on, I never thought I'd have to deal with him half naked.
It wasn't like she hadn't seen guys without their shirts on, cripes, she had six brothers. But, of course, Harry was so much nicer to look at than any of them.
After practice, Ginny could have hung her head in shame. Harry had just been there to help the team find a replacement seeker, but she had never played so terribly in her life. She kept seeing flashes of him without his shirt. And once she'd been so caught up, she'd dropped the quaffle. If Harry didn't leave soon she'd probably be kicked off the team and expelled.
Harry had decided to travel to the Burrow by floo powder, for the Christmas holiday. It really was most convenient because of course, you couldn't apparate and it was such a long way to fly. Plus, he wouldn't have to ride the train with Ginny. He'd hardly gotten a good night's sleep since school had started. The urge to jump over her desk and start snogging with her in the middle of class was almost irresistible. And he wasn't sure he'd be able to look her mother in the eye.
When he arrived at the Burrow, it wasn't Mrs. Weasley who greeted him, well it was, but she was more commonly know as Hermione. At least it rather looked like Hermione. She'd gained a bit of weight though. Anyway, the fat Hermione hugged him.
"Harry, we half expected you to come by train with Ginny. Oh well, everything can be arranged. How are you? How is teaching? Any good students? Is everything still the same? Are you sure you've been eating enough? By the way, I need you to meet Ginny at the train station for me, since you didn't come with her."
He shook his head. The new Hermione talked a lot more than she used to.
"Uh…..Why?"
"Well, no one else is home here right now. All the Weasleys are at work, I've been let off early for the holiday, you know, and Mrs. Weasley went to do some holiday shopping. None of that would matter but Ron made me promise not to leave the house, so there will be no one waiting for Ginny unless you go. She's still too young to apparate."
Hermione had promised Ron she wouldn't leave the house? Not only was it unlike Ron to ask such a thing, it was terribly out of character for Hermione to listen to him. It looked like there was no hope for it, he'd have to pick Ginny up from the station and hope he didn't throw himself at her as she disembarked.
