This was originally supposed to be a one shot, but I feel obliged to write a continuation seeing as something write-worthy happened...I mean in, er, the story...haha. I Just translated an actual conversation into English-speak. Sorry that I had to add two OCs but they were necessary for the plot's sake, seeing as the story never explained who Ginny's roommates were.

"Damn."

"Bloody hell."

"Damn...again."

Ginny rolled her eyes and crossed her arms tightly as she observed both Cate and Mitali, entirely slack-jawed. "Remind me again why you're exchanging obscenities?" Her friends exchanged simultaneous glances. Ginny marveled at the fact that Cate had never succumbed to the gossiping friends circle. She had the giggle and the questioning down pat.

"You...Harry...?" Cate was not nearly as vocal about this as she would have been normally. The shock was just setting in for her.

"I know it's weird, innit?" Mitali answered with a confused glance towards Ginny. "Might as well lock me up in one of those Muggle places where they

keep animals and post 'Girl in like with boy who will never like her back,'" she thought sullenly, suddenly realizing how long a sign that would have to be.

This comment brought her out of her reverie, "I told you a month ago, Mit!" Her reply was indignant.

Mitali had the grace to look embarrassed for a moment before explaining herself, "But I couldn't jerk you about it, Gin. Not with Cate around." She cast a sideward glance towards the other roommate.

"You told Mit and not me?" asked Cate. Ginny looked towards Mitali fleetingly before speaking.

"Mit squeezed it out of me, Cate. And the fact that you're shagging one of his mates is no consolation." Cate resembled a guppy for a moment, opening and closing her mouth bewilderedly.

"But Harry? I thought you liked him in first and second

year and...Harry? I wouldn't have guessed. Not anymore. Not after Dean, or Ashley for that matter!" Mitali seemed to suddenly recognize this problem as well.

"They won't last," she said decidedly, though there was something in her voice that indicated that she was not entirely sure,

however, Cate was quick to agree.

"Yeah, they're cute and all," she sent an apologetic look towards Ginny before continuing, "But it's not something that'll last, at least not forever."

Ginny suddenly looked up sharply. "Don't tell Seamus, Cate. I will murder you." There was something in her demeanor that suggested that although she was smiling she was not joking.

Cate seemed to struggle with herself for a moment. "Not tell him? He won't care...well; he'll probably react worse than me. He wouldn't believe it, I can see it now," she admitted, looking slightly nostalgic.

"He'll tell Harry, and I'm perfectly happy having what remains of my pride intact," Ginny said coldly.

Cate shook her head quickly. "No, I agree

that would be for the best. The last thing that anyone wants is to do feed Harry's ego anymore. The fact that he's 'The-Boy-Who-Lived' and is going with Ashley is enough for any guy." This didn't seem to persuade her.

Mitali smartly intervened before the discussion became a full-blown

war, "You were good at hiding it, especially when Ash and Harry were all over each other." Her tact was so abominable as to be non-existent.

Ginny shoved her head to her pillow and pounded on the sides angrily, yelling something inaudible.

"Care to repeat that, love?" Cate asked with mock sweetness. Ginny lifted her head up and composed herself.

"She is so bloody gorgeous! With the hair and the stomach and the eyes! Merlin, how's someone to compete? And she's nice! I would love to hate her, if only she was just a bitch!" Mitali struggled with herself for a moment before fighting back a smile.

Mitali struggled with herself for a moment before fighting back a smile. "All this time you've been jealous?" she asked, her voice an octave too high.

Ginny sighed, straightening her nightgown. "No...yes...well, kind of. It's difficult to say." A look of irritation flitted across Cate's face for an instant and Ginny had to question whether or not it was just her imagination.

"What about Ashley? You two get on well, do you even like her?" Mitali wondered aloud. Ginny looked slightly bashful, biting her lip in

a mock-innocent manner.

"Well...I like her, I mean she's nice and all. But I guess there are a few things that bother me about her that wouldn't normally," she admitted in defeat.

Cate furrowed her brow slightly before responding. "What, like how she's constantly snogging Harry?"

Ginny shook her head and sighed. "Like her voice." Mitali and Cate could not help but let out a snort of laughter. "It's just so high-pitched and sweet, she can't always be so damned happy," she snapped, annoyed with their childish antics.

"Maybe..." Mitali began, straightening her midnight black hair thoughtfully. "She's always so happy because she's the one who's shagging Harry." Cate let out a roar of laughter and rolled over on her side, muffling the sound slightly.

Ginny sent a sharp look over to the two of them with a weak smile. "I hate both of you." She then joined in on the laughter, though halfheartedly.

The next chappie will have more action. I just wanted to get that out.
