Chapter 2
Disclaimer- I don't owe any of this.
Ginny had managed to get out of Transfiguration with only a warning, which seemed unusual for Professor McGonagall.
She climbed the stairs up to the Gryffindor Tower. "Gin!" A voice called out from behind her. She wheeled around to see a tall, dark-haired boy climbing the stairs two at a time, Michael Corner.
"Sorry about Transfiguration class." He lightly tossed Ginny a small white box to her without he least bit remorse on his face, just a smile.
Ginny read the label on the front. "Honeydukes Finest Fudge, Double Chocolate!" Ginny grinned widely. It was her favorite. "What's it for?" She wanted to know why he had given her this for what seemed like to be for no reason.
Michael merely shrugged. "You didn't have to." She opened the delicate box to reveal small piece of dark chocolate fudge.
"I wanted to."
A small smile spread across her face revealing a dimple on her left cheek. Michael had always been a good friend ever since they had met at the Yule Ball last year. He was always there for Ginny. She often wondered why he didn't land himself in Hufflepuff instead of Ravenclaw.
"Well then, at least take a piece." Ginny said holding the open box to him.
"If you insist…" He joked and popped a piece into his mouth. "I got to get to class, I'll see you tonight." He retreated down the moving staircase passing an equally tall yet scrawny boy with flaming red hair. The boy threw Michael a look as though he wanted to strangle him but Michael didn't even notice.
Ginny popped a chocolate into her mouth and waited for Ron to catch up with her. "Relax will you Ron." She joked, noticing her brother's anger.
"What did he do to you?" He demanded as he glanced back at Michael who was whistling cheerfully as he descended the stairs.
"We were just talking, okay?" Ginny quickly explained. "So when's next Quidditch practice?" She wanted to change the subject because she knew what Ron thought about guys hanging around her.
"Tomorrow night." Fortunately, Ron reluctantly decided to drop the subject of Michael well at least for a second. "You know, he could have poisoned those chocolates…" He began throwing a disgusted look at the scrumptious bite sized fudge.
Ginny had to endure Ron's lecture all the way up to the common room. "Ron!" Ginny finally snapped after Ron began on how it's not good to date until graduation. "All I did was talk to him." Her brother threw her an appraising sort of look.
"That better be all." Ron muttered sourly after giving the Fat Lady the password.
