"Someone had fun," Ginny snorted peering over her book.

"Shove it," Lucy said.

"You'll have to cover that," Ginny laughed, "Harry will have a fit if he sees it."

"What I do is none of Harry's business," Lucy scoffed.

"Damn, that really doesn't look good," Ginny crawled to the end of her bed, grabbing Lucy's wrist to pull her closer, "let me see."

Rolling her eyes, Lucy held her hair back as Ginny inspected her neck.

The youngest Weasley raised her wand and the blemish disappeared, "all better."

"Thanks," Lucy said.

"Good thing you're back," Ginny said, "we've been invited to a dinner party."

"A dinner party?" Lucy frowned, "whose?"

"Slughorn," Ginny said, standing up, "come on, we have to get ready or we'll be late."

"Why's Slughorn having a dinner party?" Lucy asked.

"It's his Slugclub," Ginny laughed, "quite entertaining, I have to say."

"I'm not a part of the Slugclub," Lucy said.

"Now you are," Ginny handed her an invitation, "seems like you caught his fancy."

Lucy looked at the parchment, she had been invited to the dinner party.

"What do I even wear?"

"Something nice?" Ginny shrugged, holding up a mini skirt, "too slutty?"

"Definitely," Lucy nodded.

"Thought so," Ginny sighed, putting it away, "what about my black dress?"

"Which one?" Lucy asked.

"Not the strapless one, the sweater one with long sleeves and the turtleneck."

"That's cute," Lucy dug through her trunk, "wear that."

Satisfied, Ginny shrugged off her school uniform and pulled the black dress over her slim figure.

"I'm going to wear this," Lucy held up a white t-shirt and a spaghetti strap, pink, flowered dress.

"Seamus kissed Dean," Ginny said suddenly, "Dean told me."

"Oh," Lucy said awkwardly, Ginny didn't seem fazed in the slightest, "are you ok?"

"Yeah," Ginny frowned, "I feel like I shouldn't be...but I'm perfectly ok...if that makes any sense?"

"It does," Lucy nodded, "so what're you going to do?"

"I don't know," Ginny sighed, pulling her hair into a ponytail, "Dean told me it was nothing, he wants us to stay together."

"What do you want?"

"I'm not sure, Luce, I guess I'll give him another chance."

Lucy bit back a comment.

"What do you think I should do?"

"It doesn't matter what I think," Lucy said, "it's your feelings and your relationship, do what you think is right."

"Ok," Ginny took in a deep breath, "thanks, Lucy, that dress is cute."

>•<

"We've got to meet Hermione in the common room," Ginny said once they had finished getting ready.

"Is Harry coming?" Lucy asked.

"No," Ginny shook her head, "detention with Snape."

"Oh, yeah," Lucy nodded, "forgot about that."
