Harry and Grace spent another hour out on the quidditch pitch, just flying around before they were hungry and decided to get some lunch in the Great Hall. After lunch they went up to their common room and Grace "helped" Harry with his Divination homework. He usually just goofed and fluffed off his Divination homework when he did it with Ron, but when he did it with Grace he actually tried and put real thought into it. It wasn't because she scolded him about it, like Hermione did, but because well... she made it fun. It was fun in a different way than fun with Ron. He liked seeing her get excited over the tea leaves and the interpretations and trying to figure out what they could mean.

"Er...I was wondering," Harry spoke up when Grace came back down from her dormitory, with a book in hand. "Next Divination class, er... willyousitwithme?" he asked quickly and she blinked.

"What?"

"Will you sit with me?" He asked again, this time slower. She blinked a couple more times. She had bounced around sitting with her housemates in Divination. Commonly going between Dean, Seamus, and Neville. She had Lavendar once, only because Parvati wasn't feeling well that day due to well... her time of the month. She sat with Hermione once, and it was the most dreadful time. The two didn't speak to each other for almost a week because of it. However, she hadn't had the chance to sit with Ron or Harry.

"You...want me to sit with...you?" she asked slowly, making sure that she understood him right.

"Yeah."

"Why?"

"You've sat with everyone else in our house..."

"But you and Ron always sit together in Divination..." It was true. While this year, she's found herself sitting next to Harry in both Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts, but their other five classes she sat with Neville.

"Well he can sit with you the week after," Harry said simply and she blinked.

"Are you suggesting you and Ron share custody of me in Divination?" She asked, trying to sound offended, but it was difficult.

"Well... yeah? I'm sure the other guys will be happy to join in on the schedule," he teased, and she scoffed.

"I'm not a class pet to be bounced around every week," she said, trying to sound upset, but Harry grinned when he saw her try to fight the smile on her face.

"Are you sure? You've got that lovable pet quality going-ow!" Harry laughed when Grace hit him lightly with her book. "Okay, okay!" He called out, trying to grab her hands and make her stop.

"Hmph," she huffed. "I think I'm all Harry Potter'd out for the day," she said teasingly. "I'm going to go read."

"Where?" he asked curiously, watching her walk to the portrait hole.

"That's a secret," she answered before leaving the common room.
