Mean Anything?

The room was cleared so that Harry and Sirius could have another heart-to-heart.

"Harry?" Sirius asked gently.

"I'm so sorry Sirius" Harry whispered. "I shouldn't have said that."

"Hey Prongslet." Sirius assured him. "Do you remember what I told you after you overhead the conversation in the bar?"

"But…I wanted you worse than dead!" Harry argued.

Sirius pulled his godson into a hug.

"That was then." Sirius repeated himself. "You know the truth now. Tell me Harry…do you still want that?"

"NO!" Harry said horrified "No Sirius. I don't want that at all and I would do anything to prevent it!"

To emphasize, Harry threw his arms around his godfather as if to ensure himself that Sirius wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

To ensure himself that when all this was over and Sirius' name was cleared, he'd have that life he had been dreaming of since Sirius offered it.

"That's all that matters Harry." Sirius informed him "Now…are there any other moments like that I should be forewarned about so that the twins, Ron, and Hermione don't need to sit on you and Ginny doesn't need to snog you in a way that when I walked in on your parents doing it, I was hexed?"

Harry blushed with a hint of a chuckle. He thought back on that year.

He reached over and grabbed the book flipping through the remaining pages.

"Only thing left is our meeting and I think you can work out what I was thinking"

"True." Sirius mused. "Now…you seemed to have enjoyed that kiss with Ginny."

"She took me COMPELTELY by surprise!" Harry said. "It meant nothing."

However he wasn't sure how true that was.

Meanwhile,

"I will admit that your way of keeping Harry preoccupied was original." Hermione told Ginny

"Original? It was CRAZY!" Ron argued

"Mind if I use that?" Tonks whispered to the redheaded girl.

Ginny was starting to feel that maybe she should have thought that over. Just when she had walked in on Bill and Fleur making out, he seemed so out of it, he wouldn't be able to tell you what two and two were. So she mimicked the kiss.

"Look" Ginny said eyeing her family especially. ESPECIALLY her mother who was already planning the wedding. "It was just a way to rouse Harry's hormones so that his mind would blank out as we read that disturbing part. It meant nothing so don't look too deep into it!"

However, she wasn't sure just how truthful she was being.

"And Tonks, feel free to use it on whoever you want" Ginny told the metamorphmagus.

"Thanks Ginny"

Remus suddenly had an uneasy feeling about this. Especially the way Tonks was smirking at him.
