Here I am again; I told you I'd be faster this time. This chapter was an interesting one to write - it's my first one with no dialogue (I think... *scratches head* I can't remember). My word limit seemed to come awfully fast, because there are much fewer paragraphs.
By the way, if you think this prompt is awkward, you should see the next one! (Mwahaha, I am keeping you in suspense.)
Okay, time for today's shoutouts: Delia-of-the-Oysters (who reviewed about two minutes after I updated--you made my night), xxxBekaForEvaxxx, glowyrm, werewolfatemyphoenix and You Know Who. Not so many this time, but I really appreciate all of you who take the time review!
Nearly everyone said that they liked seeing George happy. I do too :)
10. Sex
Monday
They say men think about sex every seven seconds. If Harry had heard this assertion, he would probably disagree; indeed, thoughts about his work occupy a high proportion of his mind. He cannot deny, though, that at the moment he returns home late from two long and crisis-filled days at the Ministry, sex is certainly on his mind.
The flat is cold and dark. Ginny has evidently decided to keep Hermione company as Harry and Ron work overtime. Harry flicks his wand at a lamp to illuminate the room, but its feeble light does not penetrate far.
A feeling of frustration creeps up within him. All day, Harry has been looking forward to coming home and seeing Ginny. They would have kissed at the door, just like the other times Harry has come home late, and despite the food she'd have prepared they would have got caught up in the moment, and stumbled into the bedroom to make love in the dark. Even sitting here in the semi-darkness is bringing back memories of late-night intimacy.
Harry sighs. He knows it is typical of him to crave Ginny most when they haven't been together for a while.
It's not just the sex itself, though. Making love with Ginny is not something Harry merely does. It is something he feels and experiences—a shared moment of love that transcends the physical. In these moments, Harry feels secure in the knowledge that he and Ginny will have the rest of their lives together.
I'm pretty sure the theory about men thinking about sex every seven seconds is false, but it fitted well so I decided to put it in anyway.
Don't forget to leave a review!
