Whoa, what is this, an update after only one day?

So I got a mixed response to my question about updating last chapter - some people wanted them up all at once, and some people wanted me just to update when I can. I've decided to compromise, and update once a day until Monday, and then TRY to keep going with that until they're all up. There'll only be one or two left by then anyway so it won't matter too much. I actually really want to get this up before 06/11, because that is the date I first published this story last year. How cool is that?

Shoutouts for SapphireRosethorn (who reviewed so soon after I updated, I was like whoa! and gave me nine smilies to boot. Good luck with your exams gorgeous!), werewolfatemyphoenix, SilverLily1, Sugarplumjellygum, glowyrm, purelywhite-nami, yellow 14, x-Live-love-life-x, whispered touches (your reviews always make my day!), Donut Holsteen, bookworm1256, Blondebunny55, alicecullenisrealinmyworld and Sparky Dorian. I know I say it all the time but YOU GUYS ARE FREAKIN' AWESOME!

And now, a comedic (hopefully) interlude:

42. Detention

Friday

When Harry sees Ginny's white face as she comes through the door, he thinks for one wild second that something terrible has happened. "Oh my God, Ginny, what's wrong?"

Collapsing into a chair, Ginny squeezes her eyes shut. "Sweet Merlin, I never want to see anything like that again, ever. I have been scarred for life. I actually want to take my brain out and Scourgify it so that I never have to have that mental image again."

Harry raises his eyebrows. "What did you see?"

"Something too horrifying to share," says Ginny, shaking her head.

Harry, curious, has some idea where this is going. "Did this involve Ron and Hermione?"

Ginny shudders and nods. "Shouldn't I be able to walk into my own sitting room without wanting to poke my eyeballs out with a fork?"

"Were they in a… compromising position?"

She nods again.

"Come on, Ginny, spill. What were they doing?"

She takes a deep breath. "I walked in, and the first thing I saw was Ron, wearing boxers and his old school tie. Tied to a chair. Looking… happy."

"Kinky," Harry grins. "I always suspected Hermione had a naughty side."

"Then Hermione came in, carrying a riding crop. She told him to call her Professor Granger, and then she told him he'd been very bad and she was putting him in detention!"

Harry roars with laughter. "It's not funny!" cries Ginny. "I do not want to think about my brother and Hermione like that! It's just wrong!"

Is it bad that this is the first thing that came into my head when I saw the prompt "Detention"?

By the way, I'm curious to know if anyway knows where the "poke my eyeballs out" line is from. A hint: it's an HP fanfic, on this site, but it's quite old, and the full line is from Harry - "Or I could poke my eyeballs out with a spork." (Spork just didn't quite seem to fit here, so I had to paraphrase. Somehow spork makes it ten times funnier though!)

If no one gets it, I'll let you know which fic it was next chapter anyway, so you can all go read it because it's hilarious. And no googling!
