24. Chocolate-Covered Strawberries
Monday

This is a side of Ginny Harry didn't see until the war. Back then, she hadn't been afraid to let you know if something bothered her. Her passion was what Harry fell in love with.

Fred's death has changed all that. On the surface, that passion is still visible, but she withdraws when something is seriously wrong. Harry realises now that it's when she says everything's fine that he should be worried about her.

All they need to do is talk. She needs to get all this Bradley stuff off her chest once and for all, and then everything will be okay.

Optimistic, and feeling as though he finally understands, Harry walks through the door—and sees Ginny looking furious.

"What's this?" she asks, gesturing towards an open package on the table in front of her. It contains a punnet of strawberries.

"Looks like strawberries," says Harry, reaching for the note beside it.

"Don't be thick!" says Ginny, voice rising. "Who are they from?"

Harry can smell perfume as he reads. You can dip these in chocolate and—

"Holy crap," says Harry, blanching.

"She seems to know you pretty intimately!" says Ginny.

"But I don't even know who it's from—"

"I can't believe that stupid cow was right about you! I've been defending you all this time, and you've been screwing around behind my back! Well, I hope you have fun with her, Harry. She sounds really classy." And with that, she stalks out and Disapparates with a crack.
