Ginny laid in her bed with Harry at 12 Grimmauld Place. Her husband was already snoring next to her. He youngest child, Lily Luna, was down the hall, sleeping as well, while her two boys, James Sirius and Albus Severus, were both at Hogwarts, the former being in his third year and the latter in his 1st.
She felt guilty over what had transpired with Dean. Guilty over the kiss he started. Guilty over that she had kissed him back. The fact that it took his tongue in her mouth for her to come back to her senses and pull back.
Ginny felt gross that she had enjoyed it so much. How could she? She was in a happy marriage with three children! A happy marriage with no sex in the last four months… stop it!
Harry's snoring eventually helped her come down and fall to sleep. She would have to talk about it with Dean in the next few days.

Dean laid in his bed in his small muggle-apartment in London, thinking about what had happened back in the office. The kiss he had with Ginny.
What had come over him? Why did he kiss her?
Because he wanted to. Because of how beautiful she looked. How good she smelled. How he had never managed to get over her, even though it had been 20 years since their teenager-breakup.
He really had not gotten over it. Unlike all his classmates, he had not gotten married, but had been a bachelor with lovers across his life as a traveling artist in the Western world. Ron had married Hermione, he had a thing with Tess O'Donelly of Texas. Neville had married Hannah, he had a thing Bonnie Warren of New Zealand. Luna had married Rolf, he had a thing with Géraldine Adnet of France. Harry had married Ginny, he had a thing with Hanna Hotvedt of Norway.
O'Donelly and Warren had been muggles, while Adnet and Hotvedt had been witches. They all shared same things: pale skin and flaming red hair. Like Ginny.
Stop it, he thought. That ship had sailed off. She is married and has three kids.
Of has it, said his unconscious as he drifted.

The two didn't really talk to each other in the office again over the next few days, being busy with their own works. Ginny was asked to do more sports-related work, while Dean drew the daily cartoons and hopped around other projects.
She wanted to avoid him as much as possible and would also not approach him during breaks. He respected her choice as well and tried to keep a distance to her.

"Hey Ginny" asked Bob, the senior editor. "I would like for you and Dean to do another collaboration. Konrad Weiss, the retired seeker of the German National Quidditch team, had a similar incident to Wiel, also in Hamburg"
"Really?" Ginny replied. "Isn't this more Skeeter's thing? It was a onetime thing. I also think Dean wants to do better things."
"Readers enjoyed your thorough writing and Dean's hilarious animated cartoon. Your doing it" Bob stated.
Ginny nodded, having no choice, since Bob was her boss.

Ginny and Dean were once again the last ones in the office when they finished the work. She said again she would mail it to Bob.
"Hey, Ginny" Dean started. "About last time. I'm sorry what happened"
"You mean the kiss?" She asked.
"Yeah, the kiss. I had a breakup back in Norway, partially the reason I moved back. Her name was Hanna, and still bothers me" he partially lied.
"Okay. Sorry to hear it. I hope you'll find eventually someone, like the rest of us. Even Seamus found someone in the end, so I hope you will too" she replied, waved at him and left the office.
Dean looked behind, appreciating her body as she left. He lied, at least in part. Things between him and Hanna Hotvedt had ended, and that was the reason he had moved back, but it was not the reason why he kissed Ginny. He wasn't missing Hannah, he was missing her.
Dean sighed, as he picked up his things and left the office, leaving the space empty.

Ginny was laying in her and Harry's bed that night, waiting for her husband in a black, sexy babydoll. She desired intimacy once again, now that the house was emptier with two kids at school.
Harry came in, looking tired and laying down in the bed, right besides her, eyes closed.
"Hey, baby" Ginny stated, turning on her side and lifting the skirt of the babydoll, exposing her pale thighs.
"Hey" Harry replied, eyes still closed.
Ginny's hand came to his covered crotch and caressed it in a subjective manner.
"Baby, Ginny, I'm spend" Harry replied. "I'm sorry, but I need rest"
With that he slowly fell asleep, leaving Ginny alone awake.
He was a great husband, father and breadwinner, being the head of the auror department at the Ministry of Magic. But their sex life had started to slow down in over the years. In the beginning, while she was still in the Harpies and he was a young auror, they would fool around a lot, but with each child it would become less and less.
Ginny knew his job was demanding, but wished to get some more attention again. Not just sex, but also companionship overall. Their last proper moment was at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters, while bringing James and Albus away.
She had her friends, like Hermione, Luna, Hannah and Susan, but she wanted more.
The kiss with Dean came back to her mind, how good it felt, how her body almost immediately reciprocated to it with desire and passion.
Stop it, she thought. You're not honestly thinking about having an affair with an hold school fling are?

Dean was in his bed, falling asleep as well, still thinking of Ginny. Desiring her, even though he knew he should not.
He seriously considered resigning from the Daily Prophet, even though he knew it wasn't a real option. It was the only place in wizarding Britain that had a stable job for an artist. But being so close to Ginny was also not good for him.
He would have figure out though soon…
Things get more interesting... what do you think will happen next?
