Ginny looked over at Harry with an amused smile on her face.
They heard Lavender gossiping with Parvati, they distinctly heard them saying Ron's name and occasionally Hermione's.
Harry raised his eyebrows at Ginny and shook his head.
Lavender and Parvati looked up at the couple, "How are you guys?" Lavender asked with fake interest, obviously not wanting to know how they were doing. Before they could even answer, she said quickly, "That's great. And Ron?" This time she was interested.
Ginny answered her, "Him and Hermione are great, thanks!" She looked at Parvati, "I haven't seen you in awhile! How've you been?"
"Oh, fine. So, you and Harry are going out again?"
They nodded. "No hard feelings?" Harry asked jokingly.
She cocked her head in curiosity, "About what?" Recognition dawned on her face, "Oh, the Yule Ball." She laughed, "No, no matter how horrible it was."
Harry shifted in his seat, "Yeah, sorry 'bout that."
She smiled, "It's fine." She motioned towards Ginny, "You had a really good time I remember. You and Neville danced all night I heard."
Neville looked up at the sound of his name. Ginny touched his arm, and laughed, "Yeah, I had a really good time that night!"
Neville laughed. "I remember I was so nervous. I practiced dancing for weeks before it. Did you go Luna?" He asked his girlfriend.
"Oh no, I wasn't asked." She breathed. She went back to reading the Quibbler.
They all looked at Lavender.
"I went with Seamus Finnigan. He never stopped hanging out with Dean the whole time, though. So I went off with some Durmstrang boy." Lavender said, she pointed at Harry, "You know, Harry, I had my eye on you that year, but then Seamus asked me..." She shrugged her shoulders. Harry looked horrified for a split second, but swallowed it down. He smiled nervously. Ginny let out a bark of laughter at his reaction, but put her hand over her mouth, as if trying to erase it from happening.
To distract himself, Harry poured Ginny and himself some pumpkin juice.
"Thanks," as she took a sip of her drink. She choked on it however as she saw something that had apparently surprised her by the entrance to the Great Hall. She put her hand to her mouth as to keep from getting the pumpkin juice all down her front.
Harry rubbed her back and asked, "Are you okay? What happened?" Ginny pointed to the extremely happy couple walking towards them.
He looked startle, "Oh! Wow. That was fast."
Ron and Hermione sat down at the table across from them. "Hey guys!" Ron said, while spooning food onto his plate. "Are you okay, Ginny?"
She started coughing after trying to speak and decided to nod instead. Still rubbing her back, Harry said referring to how Ron and Hermione were together again, "Umm..."
"Oh," Hermione said, realizing what he meant. "Yeah, we're fine now." Harry had an amused smile on his face and shook his head.
Lavender seemed to slide away from them as Ron and Hermione continued to look extremely happy. They continued eating, and soon, the four Head Students walked out of the Great Hall. As they were walking, Ron and Hermione seemed very absorbed in themselves, and so, with a look at each other, Harry and Ginny walked away from them, without them noticing. They walked through the halls for awhile before speaking.
"You know, it was just this morning that Ron practically caught us shagging." Ginny said.
Harry laughed, "How could I forget?" He pulled her into a hug and began to kiss her neck. Coincidentally, he had stopped right by a broom closet. "Do you want to ride on my broomstick?" Harry asked seductively.
Ginny broke into laughter, "Harry, that has to be the worst line I've ever heard!"
"I know," he said, leaning against the wall, smirking, "I just heard Ron whisper that to Hermione." Ginny made a sound of disgust, and her face showed it, through her laughter.
Still laughing, she went over to Harry and put her palms against the wall on either side of his shoulders. "Guess we'll have to steer clear of the common room for an hour or so." She sighed overdramatically, "What do you suggest we do?"
Without waiting for an answer, Ginny pushed her lips onto his, her hands quickly moving into his hair. He pushed them away from the wall, and she jumped up so her legs were wrapped around his waist. One hand was under her bum, while the other was fumbling for the doorknob to the broom closet. Her hands were on his head, helping him hold her up.
She started rubbing against his growing excitement. He groaned, and began to have even more difficulty opening the door. He finally got it open, and he ran backwards into the closet. Ginny slammed the door behind her and in the small room, they heard a yelp. Ginny jumped off Harry and as he turned around, he saw why Ginny's face had gone from curiosity to horror in a split second.
What he saw was Ron without a shirt and Hermione with her shirt unbuttoned, both against the wall. The four stood there in an awkward silence, all averting each other's eyes, for a few seconds, but for what felt like hours.
"You were just about to..." Ron said, glaring at Harry, pointing his pointer finger to his pelvic region, and then around the room.
Ginny looked at him, and laughed, apparently amused by the situation, "And you were about to..." Ron cleared his throat, uncomfortably. Hermione was buttoning up her blouse, while Harry was trying very hard not to think about what him and Ginny had just been about to do.
The two stubborn Weasleys just stood there, looking at each other defiantly. Ron's gaze faltered however as he switched his gaze to Harry to glare at him. Harry suddenly had no trouble not thinking about shagging.
Ginny sent another look to Ron and grabbed Harry's hand and pulled open the door. She slammed the door and then as they walked around the corner, Ginny still pulling Harry along, stopped suddenly. She let out a relieved sigh and said, "Well, that was awkward." And as soon as she let out another sigh, she began to laugh.
"This is not a laughing matter, Gin." Harry said, rubbing his forehead, "We need to control ourselves."
Ginny continued laughing and bent over to put her hands on her knees. Her face turned to meet Harry's gaze, and just shook her head. She stood up straight, "You have nothing to worry about, Harry. Ron, my brother, was just about to shag my best friend, and his girlfriend, Hermione, in a broom cupboard. I, Ron's sister, was just about to shag you, Ron's best friend and my boyfriend in the exact same closet." She held her hands up, as if weighing the situations, "I think me and him are in the same boat for this one. And besides, I'll look after you. Don't worry." She smiled sweetly.
He cocked his head to the right, and furrowed his eyebrows, "You know, I've never looked at it that way."
She smiled and grabbed his hand, pulling him along with her once again. "Aren't you glad you have me?" She smiled, "Now, can we continue what we were doing when we get back to our rooms?" She lifted her eyebrow. He smiled, and let her pull him to their destination.

This chapter was kind of hard to write, because it was so, well, boring. At the beginning anyway.
I hope you liked it, though. Review please! Any thoughts on what I should do next or stuff are welcome!
Oh, and I wasn't implying that Seamus and Dean were gay, by the way.
