"Morning, sunshine!" a voice called from within the shower stall.

"Morning, Hermione," Ginny said, putting her towel on a hook and taking her pyjamas off. "Sound chipper today."

"It's a good day. Isn't it?"

Ginny rolled her eyes and walked towards the shower across from Hermione's. "It's a Monday. And I've got double Divination."

Hermione closed her eyes as she stood facing the showerhead. Hot water rained down on her. "Mmm... I don't want to get out of this shower. Ever."

"You'll turn into a prune!" Ginny shrieked as she turned on her own shower.

Hermione shrugged, even though she knew Ginny couldn't see her.

"Oy! Do you have any shampoo in there, Hermione? Someone must have taken it from my stall," Ginny said grumpily.

Hermione moaned. "It's the dead of January... And you want me to jump out of my shower to give you a dash of shampoo? Are you serious?"

Ginny grinned to herself. "Then I'll just have to come over and get it for myself!"

She poked her head out from the stall. She could see Hermione's silhouette in the stall across from hers.

Hermione looked out from her shower, too. She grinned when she saw Ginny. "Nuh-uh!" She pulled out the shampoo bottle and waved it around teasingly. "I'm not gonna give it to you!"

"Pretty please?"

Hermione smiled even more broadly. "Erm, that'll be a... NO!"

Ginny stepped out of the shower indignantly. "Hey, I need my hair to be nice and clean and - !"

She suddenly realised she was stark naked in front of Hermione Granger.

"Ohmigod. Ohmigod." Ginny suddenly covered herself with her hands.

Hermione stared at Ginny. "God, if you really wanted the shampoo that much..."

Ginny was beet red. "No, no, I really don't care!" She turned around and jumped back into the shower. Tears were in her eyes.

Hermione immediately turned her shower off, put a bath robe on, and left the girls' dormitory bathroom.
