The next morning, Ginny awoke to suitcases at the front door and Max and Marie Lupin were rushing around all over the place.
"No, Max dear, your wand's over there" she sighed in irritation.
"What's going on?" Ginny asked worriedly.
"Oh, Ginny sweetheart. I'm sorry, but Max and I just received an urgent call in Australia, we'll be gone for a few days. Now, tell Remus that he's to look after you properly and when we get back, I want to have a look at that Charms' project of yours. Try not to study too hard though" she added with a wink. Ginny blushed and nodded shyly.
"Max, are you ready to go? We need to be there in ten minutes!" Marie shrieked.
"Alright, alright, sheesh woman, keep your hair on" Max mumbled "Ready?" Max asked. Marie nodded.
"Yes, I'm ready"
At the same time, they both stepped into the fireplace and yelled out "AUSTRALIAN HOTEL!" and with that, they both disappeared. It took exactly five seconds for Ginny to process the fact that Remus and her were alone … in an empty house, with no one, but each other for company. Ginny allowed herself a broad smile as she entered the kitchen.

As she hummed to one of her favourite songs, while pulling a plate out from the cupboard, she gasped on feeling an arm wind around her waist.
"Good morning" the voice whispered in her ear. Ginny smiled as she kissed Remus on the cheek "I heard mum and dad go, they can never do things quietly" he said with a shake of his head. Ginny giggled as she searched the kitchen in search of food.
"What are you looking for?" Remus questioned.
"Uh, just something to eat … hey, do you have garlic?" Ginny asked suddenly. Remus raised an eyebrow.
"Uh, well, I get hyper on garlic and well …" she trailed off, blushing as red as her hair. Remus chuckled as he pulled her close to him.
"You know, you look quite fetching in just boxers" Ginny observed in amusement. Remus grinned.
"I'm gonna go and get changed, okay? We need to start on that Charms' project. Work first, fun later, that's my motto" Ginny said as she left the kitchen. Remus rolled his eyes as he shook his head in amusement.

"Now, there's the Cheering Charm, um, and-and the levitating charm, Wingardium Leviosa" Ginny let out a cry of frustration as she threw the book to the floor.
"This is hopeless! None of the books have anything we need, it only has two charms in there and it doesn't give us any information on them!" Remus stared at her with his intense hazel eyes.
"Relax, we're two bright students, we'll get through it" Ginny snorted.
"Correction, you're the bright student, not me"
Remus rolled his eyes as he pulled Ginny onto his lap and started massaging her shoulders.
"You're way too tense for starters. Don't let it get to you. We'll get through it together, trust me" Ginny reluctantly relaxed and leaned next to Remus with a sigh. Remus smiled as he kissed her lightly on the neck.
Ginny giggled as she turned to face him, but she was immediately caught with his lips. They kissed passionately for a few minutes, before Ginny pulled away.
"No-we-we need to work!" she said breathlessly.
"We can do that later, c'mon please, just-just another kiss" he pleaded. Ginny shook her head and picked up the book that she'd thrown on the ground.
"Puh-lease" He pleaded again. Ginny simply smiled as she shook her head once again.
"It's not like you to want to make-out. You normally want to work first" Ginny told him. Remus nodded and grinned wolfishly.
"You bring out my wild side though"
Ginny blushed and opened the book. Remus sniggered slightly as he leaned over and whispered in her ear.
"You might want to try turning the book around, you're reading it upside down" he informed her. Ginny gave him a playful hit on the arm and proceeded to read.

Later on that evening, after Ginny had woken up from a needed rest from studying, she yawned slightly and made her way to leave the room. She realized that it was dark and, glancing at her watch, it was eight o' clock. Wondering what Remus was up to, she opened the door and gasped. In the room was a tiny table with two candles alit. The room was dark and romantic music was playing in the background. Ginny looked around confusedly, where was Remus? She walked over to the table and sat down.
Almost instantly as soon as she'd sat down, Remus had made his entrance from the kitchen with an apron on and he had a charming smile on his face. When he spoke, it was an accent.
"Hello, m'lady and how may I serve you this evening?" Ginny stifled a giggle as she picked up the menu that Remus had made. She bit her lip as she scanned it.
"May I please have the fish and chips?" she asked politely, while staring at him amusedly. Remus smiled and bowed as he left the room. A moment later, he reappeared holding two plates of fish and chips. Ginny couldn't help grinning. This was hilarious!
"And what would m'lady like to drink?" he asked.
"Just a still water, please, kind sir" She told him, batting her eyelashes. He smirked as he left, then quickly reappeared with the glass of water.
"One sec" he ran into the kitchen, threw off the apron and ran back in, seating himself in the chair opposite her.
"Sorry I'm late, I got caught up at work" he told her. Ginny immediately burst out laughing. Remus grinned madly as he started laughing too.
"That-was-hi-hi-hilarious!" Ginny cried. Remus' shoulders shook as he laughed again. Ginny suddenly stopped laughing and moved her chair round to his and rested her head on his shoulder.
"Thank you for this" she whispered. Remus put his arm around her shoulders and kissed her on the forehead.
"I'd do anything for you" he whispered back. Ginny looked up, eyes watering as she kissed him. Remus kissed back just as passionately, his hands reached for her top, but he pulled away when he felt her hesitate.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-" His sentence was cut off when Ginny's lips pressed against his.
"I want to" she murmured.
"Wait, don't you want to have a few drinks first?" Remus suggested. Ginny shook her head.
"I want to remember it; after all, it'll be my first time" Remus hesitated.
"I just-don't want to force you"
"You won't be. Trust me" Ginny added, seeing the doubt on Remus' face.
"Can you keep a secret?" Remus whispered in her ear. Ginny nodded "I'm still a virgin also" He said, blushing slightly. Ginny smiled.
"That's nothing to be ashamed of!" she exclaimed.
"I guess" he said with a small smile on his face. Ginny leaned in and kissed him, reaching for the buttons on his top. Remus doing the same. One thing was for sure, this was a night neither of them were going to forget …

Ginny burst into hysterical laughter the next morning. After their "love-making" session, they'd both gotten completely drunk and without realizing it, they'd changed into each other's clothes. They were both in Remus' room, (which had a double bed) and Remus had his arms wrapped around Ginny's waist, while looking completely content. His eyes screwed tightly shut when his sensitive ears heard Ginny's laughter.
"Remus? Wake up!" Remus blearily opened his eyes.
"What?" he mumbled.
"Should I be calling you Ginny now?" She asked in amusement.
"What?" he murmured, sitting up right and rubbing his eyes. He looked down at what he was wearing and his eyes widened.
"When did this happen?" he yelped.
"Uh, I think it might've happened when we both got drunk, although, I must say, I don't really remember it"
"Me neither"
They both looked at each other and started laughing madly. Both of them looked utterly ridiculous in each other's clothes.
"I'm gonna go and change, then I'm gonna go and get something to eat, I'm starving!" Ginny exclaimed, making to get up, but Remus pulled her back into bed.
"Where's my morning kiss?" he whispered huskily in her ear. Ginny giggled as Remus nibbled at her ear.
"Remus, stop it" she said, wriggling out of his grip and kissing him squarely on the mouth "I love you" she whispered seductively. Remus grinned.
"I love you too" then he chuckled "The condoms weren't that bad, were they?" he added. Ginny's jaw dropped as she blushed bright red.
"I thought we agreed not to talk about that!" Remus laughed.
"I couldn't help it. Wait, I suppose I'm going to have to be punished now, aren't I?" he asked. Ginny smirked.
"Yep"
"What is it?"
"You're not allowed to snog me all day" Remus froze, looking shocked.
"You're joking, right?" Ginny grinned evilly.
"Nope"
"Oh, uh, we're going to James' later on today" Remus told her. Ginny's head snapped up.
"Since when did we agree to that?"
"Um, he sort of called when you were asleep, so I said yes, I thought you might've wanted to see Lily" he said defensively. Ginny stared at him.
"Lily's gonna be there? She hates James!"
"I know, but she said that she'll go for you" He told her. Ginny hugged him, then kissed him on the cheek.
"Let's get ready then"

"Hi guys" Ginny said brightly as soon as they stepped out of the Potters' fireplace.
"Hey Ginny, Remus, how're you two doing?" James asked from the sofa. Remus and Ginny glanced at each other, then nodded.
"We're fine"
"I've still got a headache" Remus moaned.
"Well, you shouldn't have drunk so much then" Ginny told him. Remus rolled his eyes. Lily shot up and gave Ginny a hug.
"Oh, I've missed you!" She told her. Ginny smiled.
"Wait, holds on a sec, you two both look different" Sirius observed, eyeing them both curiously. James nodded in thought, wondering what it was that was making them look different.
"Are your parents in?" Remus asked. James shook his head and smiled slightly.
"No, thank god"
"I'VE GOT IT!" Sirius yelled, shooting up from the sofa as if he'd received an electric shock. He was pointing at both Ginny and Remus with maddening eyes and a huge grin on his face. Ginny and Remus glanced at each other, worriedly.
"You two-you-YOU SHAGGED!" He shouted. It was silent for a few minutes, before James spoke up.
"Padfoot, don't be stupid, they can't have-" but he stopped and stared at the couple in front of them when they both blushed crimson. Lily gasped as she stared at Ginny with a silly grin on her face.
"You-you did?!" James cried "I'd never have thought it-Moony, you animal!" Remus smiled weakly, while Ginny had suddenly found it very interesting to stare at his feet.
"Will you stop staring at my feet? It's unnerving" Remus said suddenly, making Ginny jump. Remus grinned as he noticed that their lips were mere inches from each other, but Ginny pushed him away and smirked.
"I said no snogging for today" she told him. Remus' face dropped.
"But-but, that's not fair!"
"How so? You promised me you wouldn't bring it up and you did! That wasn't fair!"
"Oh, alright" he grumbled, glaring at her.
"Ginny, c'mon, let's go and have a girly chat, while the guys talk about whatever" Lily said, grabbing her arm and hauling her from the room. It was silent, until Sirius decided to break it.
"Moony, I didn't know you had it in you!"
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
"So, what was it like?" Lily asked excitedly as she sat down next to Ginny in the spare bedroom.
"Well, how do the words "Wow" and "Amazing" sound to you? Does it describe it enough for you?" Lily shook her head.
"I want details" Ginny stared at her.
"Details? Like how?"
"Like, tell me what happened"
"Oh, well, he stuck his thing in my vagina" she told her.
"GINNY!"
"What?" she asked innocently "It's true"
"I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! ERGH, YOU'RE DISGUSTING!"
"Alright, alright, stop shouting, I've got a headache" Ginny mumbled. Lily calmed down, looking interested again.
"Well, what happened before you lost your virginity"
"Oh that" Ginny said brightly as her eyes glazed over "Oh, Lils, it was so romantic. Well, I'd just woken up from a little rest and …"
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
"I just can't get over it. Our little Moony's all grown up" Sirius said, wiping away a fake tear. Remus snorted.
"Padfoot shut it"
"Suddenly, a yell surprised them all.
"GINNY!" They all glanced at each other, only to hear "I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT! ERGH, YOU'RE DISGUSTING!"
James grinned as he looked to Sirius.
"Did you somehow manage to pollute her mind along with taking her virginity, mate?" Remus shook his head.
"If anything, she's the one who's corrupted me, yesterday, believe it or not, I didn't want to study!" Everyone looked completely shocked at this news.
"You didn't?" Sirius let out a low whistle.
"I love this girl, she's amazing"
