 Chapter 6
Candi was the first to pull away. Harry looked at her guiltily.
"Erm...sorry about that."
"No problem. There's something about a guy on a broomstick that appeals to me too. Now, about your problem...." Harry grasped it like a drowning man. They went back to the Common Room, talking about Hermione and Ron.
After dinner, Harry stayed in the Common Room while Candi went upstairs to take a shower. Just then, Ginny came through the portrait hole. Harry sat up straighter.
"Hey Harry, where's Candi?" She asked, and sat next to him.
"Upstairs. She's taking a shower."
"Oh yea?"
"Yea." There was an awkward pause. Harry started to fidget. Ginny cleared her throat.
"So...do you like her?"
"She's ok." Harry said simply. Ginny rolled her eyes.
"I mean....would you want to date her?" Harry shook his head.
"She's alright, but not for me."
"So then....who is for you?" Harry and Ginny got up and looked into each other's eyes.
"I'm...getting the feeling...that you think you're qualified. Correct?"
"Maybe." Ginny gave a sly smile. "You don't need Legilimacy to tell you that Harry."
"Maybe, maybe not." Harry said, and kissed Ginny just as Ron and Hermione came through the portrait hole.

"What the bloody hell is going on?" Ron shouted so loud that several first years jumped, then ran off.
"Ron, calm down-" Hermione started.
"NO! Harry! What gives? I thought you were my friend?"
"Ron, this has nothing to do with friendship." Harry said. Ron waved him off and flicked The Finger at him.
"I should hope that my best friend would know to keep his bloody paws off my sister!"
"Ronald Weasley, I can kiss any boy I feel like!" Ginny roared at Ron. "And I feel like kissing Harry. Maybe even...snogging." Ginny shivered in fear, then grabbed Harry.
"Where are you going?" Hermione asked them.
"OUT!" Ginny said firmly, and dragged Harry out the Common Room.
