AN: Ginny chapter! It's for you Ginny/Harry lovers out there! Such a cute couple… Hey did you realize that both Harry and his dad went out with red haired girls? Ha, I'm so smart!


"So I have to flirt, using only body language," Ginny reminded herself. This might be a hard task, since Ginny loved to talk. She did often use her hands when she talked; but you can't really use your hands and not talk, can you? At least not with boys. They aren't usually smart enough for that. There were a choice few who could face that challenge, but Ginny wasn't sure if Harry was one of them.

"So think swingy hips, batty eyes, and… good posture?" Ginny muttered. This was going to take a lot of stamina. Who knew how long she could keep doing flirty eyes? They might fall out of her head because of fatigue!

It was time for her Charms class. Ginny walked there, not too slowly, but not too quickly either. She wanted to make sure that Harry would have enough time to catch up with her new way of walking. She wasn't sure if it made her walk slower of faster. But she felt pretty stupid doing it. Stupid Lavender and Parvati.

"Hey Ginny!" Harry said, grinning. He was clearly enjoying this. Ginny looked up at him in a way she thought might be seductive. Or possibly just really dumb.

"So, to take off from where we started- I mean ended," Harry corrected himself. Ginny's heart lightened. He was as nervous as she was!

"How long have you liked me?" Ginny's heart sank again. She was hoping he wouldn't remember what he had been talking about. Then maybe she could just walk along with her swingy hips and batty eyes. She probably would have tripped. She probably still would trip.

Ginny forced her mouth into a coy half-smile. There was no way she was telling him! Let Harry figure it out himself. She certainly wasn't going to make her heart go fuchsia, like some other girls.

"D'you want me to guess?" Harry said hopelessly. Ginny sped up. She didn't want to be late for Charms.

"Since you were… eight," guessed Harry without really believing in what he was guessing. Ginny's smile widened a little bit, though it did not evolve into a full-blown grin. She was keeping it flirty and feminine.

"Nine?" She hadn't even seen him when she was nine! Well, Ginny had seen books about the Boy Who Lived. There were also news articles, magazines, and even some action figures. But the action figures hadn't really looked like him. Ginny wasn't the one who had gotten them, it was Ron. Well, he hadn't really wanted one, but their uncle had given one to Ron when he was about eight.

"Six!" Harry joked. They were almost to the Charms room. Harry's next class was around here too. Ginny contained the giggle that had risen in her throat. She wasn't sure whether giggling counted as communication between the genders, but she wasn't about to risk it.

"Well, I have to go to my class, see you around Ginny!" Harry said happily and sprinted off to the next floor.

Ginny sighed. It was hard to flirt so much! Really, there should be a flirting contest in the Gryffindor Common Room! Lavender or Parvati would probably win. Hermione could unleash some hidden talents especially for Ron…

Ginny burst into the Charms classroom just before it was too late. She took her seat next to Luna and the latter started talking animatedly about how someone had sighted a Snaggle-Toothed Morlack in Germany. She said that her father was going to go to Germany to research it. Luna talked for a while, but Ginny was zoning out, dreaming about a certain pair of glass-green eyes…

Someone rustling papers in front of her awaked Ginny. Oh. They were having a pop quiz apparently. Luna took her wand from behind her ear and waved it over the paper. Nothing changed. Luna ignored the stares and went on to answer the questions.

1. Name the proper form for the Shield Charm.

Ginny smiled to herself. This would be easy. Without realizing it, she adopted that coy smile she had been using with Harry. Several boys stared at her, certain that she was smiling at them. Ginny was very well liked in many of her classes, this one included.

Ginny started humming a song that Hermione used to listen to all the time. Hermione had brought her CD player over to the Burrow in the summer. Ginny loved listening to music and singing along with it. She had started singing in the shower. Every time Ginny had come out of the shower, Hermione had been holding back a laugh. Ginny usually glared at her and stomped away to her room to get dressed in private. Ginny really wasn't a bad singer. In fact, she was good. But some of the songs didn't have to best words in them. Ginny thought the sound of the running water would drown it out. It didn't.

Luna stared at Ginny openly.

"What?" Ginny whispered.

"You were humming some weird song," Luna said in a hushed voice. Ha! Luna sang songs like "The Nargles Stole My Heart Away."

Ginny shook her head and went to give Flitwick her paper. He nodded but didn't say anything.

How embarrassing, Ginny thought. It would be to lose your pink heart to Flitwick! Or Snape! Or Slughorn! Or Binns! Or Hagrid! Or Vector! Ha! Ha!

She barely contained the gleeful laugh that threatened to escape from her. She instead smiled broadly, forgoing the coy, flirty half smile she had used earlier. This one felt natural, not like she was acting.

Maybe this was the way to get Harry…
