Chapter 7
She did great at her exam. She was really proud of herself. And it was the last class for today.
"You were really great." Luna said. "But, when did you study? You were in the hospital wing the whole time."
"Harry helped me. We ate sweets and studied. He also studied for his O. ." she explained. "He stayed with me the whole night."
"I am happy for you." Luna said. Luna may seem absent the whole time, but she is good listener. Ginny really appreciated her. "Do you want to get lunch together?"
"Sorry, I have deal with Harry. We are studying by the lake today." She said with a smile on her face.
"That sounds sweet." She said. "See you later."
"See you later." She said back and went to the common room. She needed her notes. And she brushed her hair.
He was waiting for her in the common room.
"Ready to go?" he asked. He had a backpack on his shoulder and a blanket in his hand.
"Yeah." She said and followed him. They went out and sat down under a willow that was giving a nice shadow. She liked how willow's strings were making a curtain around them.
"What is on today's schedule?" she asked.
"History of Magic." He said.
"God, Harry, I am going to fall asleep." She said. She never liked that subject. It is really hard to keep your eyes open during those classes.
"I already did a big part, so it shouldn't take long. I thought of this more as hanging out than just studying." He explained.
"Harry, is this a date?" she asked.
"Think about it however you want. I just like hanging out with you."
"I like hanging out with you too." She admitted and smiled at him.
Harry was right. They were finished with studying in less than an hour. They had the whole afternoon for themselves.
"What should we do know? Do you have anything in plan?" she asked him.
"I brought something." He said and took his backpack.
"You need to stop buying me candies." She said. It was sweet, but she did not like the fact that he was spending so much money on her. He took out cookies and cupcakes.
"Who said I bought these?" he asked. "I have some connections. But, don't tell Hermione about this. She will just kill me for 'using house elves'."
"She is very obsessed with house elves." She agreed.
"Oh, I haven't asked you, how were you on your potions exam?" he asked.
"The best one in class." She said, proud of herself. "And there is only one person I can thank for that." She said, raising her cookie.
"It was nothing." He said, shaking his head.
"Harry, Snape did not have any sarcastic comment for it. That is something." She said. "You are great teacher."
"And you are a great student." He said. There were a lot of crumbs on his shirt. She started to move them off. He looked at her hand on his chest and looked back at her. He was turning red. He was so adorable in these situations.
She moved her hand back.
"Is Ron still bothering you?" she asked.
"Not as much as before, but he still looks concerned from time to time. " He said. "He will let it go, eventually."
"He will." She said, taking another bite of her cookie.
They were talking. Eating cookies. They almost haven't noticed the sunset.
"It is getting cold." She said, rubbing her arms.
"Oh, here you go." He said and taking off his jacket. He wrapped her in it. She smelled it when he wasn't looking. His scent is one of the best things she ever smelled. After her mom's cake. They were admiring the sunset. Just like the time when she found him on the astronomy tower. That seemed ages ago.
Sunset gave the sky all of the most beautiful shades of pink, orange and purple. There was the reflection of the sky in the lake, there were unicorns on the other side…
He took out his wand. He waved with it and the ends of the willow's strings were light up. He managed to make the moment even more beautiful.
"This is gorgeous." She said.
"I agree." He said, while looking at her.
Sun almost completely went down. Moon was already up there.
"We should probably get going." She said.
"Yeah." He said. They took all of their stuff. He took out his cloak and the map. Of course he did. It wasn't past curfew, but they needed to be fast. They were walking as fast as they could.
They were in front of the Fat Lady, literary, minute before the curfew. They entered the common room. This is where most of their meetings end. She still had his jacket around her shoulders
"Harry, this was one of the most beautiful things that anyone ever done for me. It was amazing." She said.
"See, now watching sunset isn't very pathetic anymore." He said and they both laughed. "By the way, I thought of something." He took out the folded piece of paper and gave it to her. She unfolded it. There was nothing on it.
"It is a blank paper." She said.
"I have the same one. Everything you write on it will appear on my paper. And opposite." He explained.
"Like the coins we had for our DA meetings?" she pointed out.
"Something like that. Now we can communicate during classes." He said.
"You are a genius, Harry."
"I know." He said, running his fingers through his hair.
"You probably want you jacket back." She remembered and started to take it off.
"No. I would like of you to keep it. You look way better in it than me." He said. She felt a huge smile on her face.
"Thank you. For today. See ya." She said and went to the bedroom. Hermione was waiting for her.
"Tell me what happened!" she demanded. Ginny told her about the sunset. And the jacket.
"I never knew that Harry could be this sweet." Hermione commented.
"I knew." She said. She did not tell her about the paper. She put on her pajamas and found a special hanger for Harry's jacket. She took out the paper and a quill. She wrote 'Good night'. A minute after she got the reply. 'Sweet dreams'.
