Chapter 8
Remus woke up feeling satisfied and content. How had he lived before this? He couldn't help but feel that Ginny was the best thing that could have happened to him. Stretching leisurely he dragged himself out of his bed, staring down at the ravishing young woman in it. She was so vibrant and responsive. Lupin decided to let her sleep awhile longer before he woke her up. Dressing in his robes he sat down in a chair by the fire to grade some papers. His classes were doing great, he had just started going over imps for his second year classes. He let them observe its trickery, letting one out in a slightly confined area and seeing how much damage it could still cause. He was planning on teaching about werewolves to his seventh years, his favorite thing to teach. Lupin looked up from grading papers when he heard Ginny starting to stir. Placing his quill back in the ink pot, he made his way over to the bed. He let himself soak in her beauty for a few more seconds before bending over and kissing her awake.
"Good morning. You need to get up, people will be waking soon and I'm sure you'd like to reach you're bed before your absence is noticed."
Ginny sat up in bed feeling to relaxed to actually want to move. "Do I have to go?"
"Yes, for now. I'll see you in a couple of hours." Leaning forward he softly kissed her forehead and cheeks. "Now get dressed." He stood at the door of his chambers watching her dress, enjoying the sight in front of his eyes. Before she left he gave her one last lingering kiss, savoring the feel of her lips.
Ginny walked happily back to her rooms, she was in good fortune not to run into anybody. After a few questions she dodged from the Fat lady she was finally able to make it to her dorm and slip into bed just before Sarah, one of her roommates started to wake. Ginny watched as she got up and went through her daily ritual. It was like if Sarah had one eyelash out of place she had to start all over again. She tried so hard to be perfect, but Ginny thought that was the funny thing about those people who think they are perfect, they are the farther from perfect than anybody else. Ginny can't say she despises Sarah, she could be nice sometimes; she just felt that Sarah was a bit conceited and that she thought everyone should fall at her feet and worship. If you entered a conversation with Sarah you had better be prepared to hear about her last conquest and how easy it was to just dump him after she got what she wanted with no thought of the guy's feelings. Everyday it was someone new.
Reluctantly Ginny got up, there was no use in pretending to be asleep, it could get quite boring just lying there watching someone apply makeup.
"Haven't you ever just wanted to let your hair free and your face clear for one day?" Ginny asked.
Slightly startled at finding Ginny standing in front of her Sarah frowned before giving a terse reply. "Now why would I do that so I could go around looking like you, plain, normal, and unattractive? Yeah right, like that would ever happen."
"I just thought I'd ask. Wouldn't you rather a guy liked you for who you are not what you look like. Looks aren't everything you know."
"Right, well I don't see you with guys gushing about you and trying to win your favors so just butt out."
Ginny rolled her eyes, deciding to ignore the last remark; Ginny got up and headed towards the bathroom to take a shower. Letting the warm water slid over her skin, Ginny imagined Remus's hands as they ran over her body last night quickly turning her thoughts away from her task. Scrubbing down her body she found her mind wondering back to the night's events, it made her smile and shiver with anticipation for the night to come. Rinsing, Ginny stepped out of the shower refreshed and ready to face another day.
She made her way down to the common room. She wanted to meet Crystal and Bethany. They may be in a year below her but they share her love for Quidditch and they are so loving and kind. As they discussed tactics for the Gryffindor team they enjoyed their breakfast. Watching the owls fly in, Ginny wasn't surprised to see a letter for her. It had been a week since she'd heard from Hermione or the others. Excusing herself from her friends, Ginny went back up to her dorm to read her letter; she had a couple of minutes before classes started. Unfolding the letter she began to read.
Ginny,
OMG, you'll never guess what!! RON PROPOSED!! Yay. We're going to have the wedding this summer. Of course it's going to be at your mum's house. She insisted on it. You're going to be my maid of honor. I'm so excited. Ron was so romantic about it. He's been trying to get me to go to this restaurant with him for a while, but you know life's been busy and all. Anyways I finally agreed to go on Saturday; it was my day off so I knew I wouldn't be tired. The place was beautiful, it was called Star Dust. They had twinkling balls of light floating around and the music seemed to just flow through the room. The evening was wonderful; he was so charming and a bit clumsy. As soon as we had finished eating, which by the way the food was exquisite, he stood up and crossed over to where I sat and bent on one knee. My heart nearly came out of my chest. I was so happy. Well I hope everything is going great with you. I miss you girl. Love ya.
Love,
Hermione
Ginny smiled after she finished reading the letter, she always knew her brother had it in him. Looking up she realized she was late for class, rushing she gathered her books and ran out the door, she could write Hermione back in Charms. Ginny reached the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in record time. Stopping for a moment to smooth her clothes and fix her hair a bit, she casually walked into the classroom.
"Well Miss Weasly, I'm glad you decided to join us. Do you have an excuse?"
"No sir, I just lost track of time, I'll try not to do it again."
"Thank you, but you'll still have to serve detention with me tonight. Please take your seat and turn to the 8th chapter."
Ginny tried looking put down, but she couldn't stop the happiness inside, she was seeing Remus tonight.
After class Ginny lingered around hoping to be the last in the classroom. She was, with the exception of Sarah who had approached Remus's desk and flirting shamelessly with him.
"Professor Lupin, I just don't understand why we can't have pixies as pets, they're just so darn cute, don't you think sir?" Sarah said in a pouty voice all the while twirling a strand of hair as she leaned down over his desk making her cleavage more visible.
"Miss Boneshire, the reasons you don't want a pixie as a pet are numerous and I don't have time to explain them all, just know that they are mischievous and dangerous, if you want a more in-depth reason, read up on it by borrowing a second years Defense book if you still don't have your own." Lupin responded, looking her straight in the eyes. "Good day and see you next class, Miss Weasly if you would please wait, I would like a word with you." He called out because Ginny was making her way towards the door. Ginny stopped in front of the doorway, waiting until Sarah had crossed the threshold and shut the door behind her. Turning around she walked back up the aisle towards Remus.
"I thought you and Miss Boneshire would like some privacy." Ginny said in a sweet voice.
"Right, like you would ever catch me alone with a vulture like her. I know what she wants and she ain't getting it from me. Now cheer up and come over here and give me a kiss to suffice me through the rest of the day."
Grudgingly she smiled as she walked over to him and draped herself onto his lap and gave him a kiss he would be sure to remember.
"Until tonight." She whispered in his ear before getting up and leaving.
