Harry Potter and The Twisted Laws

For A Mere Chat

October 10th, Friday.

Harry was sitting at the couch, apparently bored. Ginny was snatched away from him by Hermione to force her complete her homework while his was unnaturally, complete. Ron's work was also complete, Hermione won't let him sleep until he finished it, but he was busy reading. Hermione had changed him a lot if you had ask Harry.

He got up, picking his bag and turned towards the door, deciding where to go. "Where you going Potter?" Ginny asked from behind. He smiled, "To meet someone really special." Harry teased, he liked teasing her, and left the room, whistling.

Meanwhile...

Ginny left her work, much to Hermione's displeasure, and turned to check the Marauders Map that she was using to keep a lookout in the corridors, to escape from patrolling them with Micheal Corner.

"Aha!" She exclaimed as she spotted the small dot labelled 'Harry.J.Potter' striding along the corridors. Hermione rolled her eyes, Harry was always a distraction for Ginny, ALWAYS! From Ginny's first year!

After a few more minutes of strict inspection of the map, Ginny kept it down. "So is he meeting a girl?" Hermione asked pointedly when she kept it down. "Not a girl no, a lady." Ginny said with a soft smile. "Who?" Hermione asked, quite uncertainly, it was a rare sight.

"Minerva McGonagall."

"Oh"

Harry's POV

I knocked on the door to Minnie's office. "Come in." She said somewhat tiredly. I opened the door to find Minnie hunched over a pile of papers. "Mind taking a break?" I asked. She looked up and smiled, rare for others but common for me now. Minnie shifted her piles of work aside, afterall, everyone deserves a break.

"Have a biscuit, Potter." she said as I sat down.

After munching a biscuit, she broke the comfortable silence, no really, it was comfortable.

"Haven't seen you in days Harry, busy?"

"Quite."

"I don't think the school work is keeping you busy though." Minnie said with an all knowing smile.

"It's not always Gin keeping me busy, Quidditch, then Hermione keeps ranting on about N.E.W.T.S and Ron would insist on playing Chess though he always win." I said, blushing slightly.

"Well, I would certainly like a rematch with him."

"What?" I asked confused, what rematch?

Her hand went to her face. "Rematch Harry, your first year -"

"Oh! I will ask him" I said as I realised.

"You know, chess is my favourite game."

"Well, from games, I remembered something."

"What?" She asked, her relaxed brows furrowing slightly.

"I was thinking of something special on Halloween, can we organise a fair?"
