Happy Anniversary

The new professor entered the classroom, and threw his coat to his right, which fell into a haphazard heap on the floor.

Ginny threw her head into her hands. This was the man who was going to teach them Potions for the next three years.

"Is this it?" she asked her boyfriend Colin, as the professor addressed the class as though they were his friends. "Is this guy for real?"

"Give him a chance Gin," he said giving her a sly nudge. "He's a professional, and be honest anyone's got to be better than Snape."

Ginny thought about and nodded her head. This was one of the few times that Colin made a valid point. Any teacher was better than Snape; it was just a shame that he now taught Defence Against the Dark Arts. On the plus side, the job was jinxed so he'd be gone within a year.

After an hour of Potions, the couple left their lesson hand in hand making plans for their date that evening. Colin was being very secretive, only mentioning that she wouldn't need to wrap up.

Come six o'clock, Ginny walked into the Common Room to meet her boyfriend, and was surprised to find him waiting by the portrait hole with a wicker basket in his hand. Ginny was in awe of the fact that he had made an effort to dress up a bit, and that he was on time, since it was usually she who was left waiting and not the other way around.

"On time I see Creevey," she sassed as she approached him.

Without responded with anything more than a nod, he led Ginny out of the Common Room and up towards the Room of Requirement.

Ginny observed as Colin went through the motions of walking past the wall three times, and opened the door. Before Ginny could get anywhere near the door, Colin hand flicked his wand, and covered her eyes with a blindfold.

"I'm going to kill you Creevey," she muttered. He knew full well that she had a strong dislike for surprises.

He guided her through the door, and made her wait whilst he finished setting up. Ginny tapped her foot impatiently as she waited and finally after what felt like an eternity Colin whipped the blindfold off.

"Voila!" he exclaimed brightly, revealing a candlelit room. On the floor there was a picnic blanket covered with all her favourite treats "Happy two month anniversary sweetheart," he said kissing her on the cheek.
