Ginny and Harry slowly came to a halt and Harry parked in one of the bays of the parking lot. The two hopped out of their car and braced themselves for their first day of muggle high school. It was going well so far though they did have to halt slightly at the sight of it since it was nothing like their sources had informed them, granted their sources were multiple films about the struggles of muggle teenagers in high school, they did serve to be a good laugh for the two war veterans though. 

Harry led his girlfriend through the doors of the almost empty highschool which was probably a result of them being early, and the two found themselves in the principals office. The meeting had gone fairly smoothly after he had gotten over them living alone and they had received their time tables, however, just as they were about to leave a tall woman with cropped blonde hair and a bright red tracksuit stormed in angrily. "Oi Bum and Chum scram." she said to Harry and Ginny before ignoring them and turning to the principal who merely waved them off with a sigh, reaching for painkillers.

When they had left the office Harry rubbed his neck in confusion as Ginny scratched her head, "Well I think it's safe to say that Americans are weird."

"Agreed," the boy nodded before shaking his head slightly , adjusting the strap of his bag. He was suddenly aware of other students staring at them but the universe was merciful and that moment the bell rang, causing them all to hurry to lessons. "I guess I should go now, my first class is apparently on the other side of the school."

"Alright," Ginny smiled up at him, "See you at lunch?"

"Of course," He took her hand and placed a kiss on the back, his eyes meeting hers as her lips tilted into a smirk at the wink he sent her. He pulled away from her and began walking backwards down the hall catching the kiss she blew at him theatrically putting it into the pocket over his heart.

The lessons for both of them went by slow and the anticipation at seeing each other again grated at Harry like a weight on his chest. He impatiently tapped his foot on the ground as he waited for class to be dismissed before lunch period. Unfortunately the couple only had homeroom and two other lessons together on their timetables which was admittedly annoying and made the lessons even harder to bear. The history teacher here, though not nearly as boring as Professor Binns, was sending half of the class to sleep whilst the other half chattered lowly amongst themselves. Harry, on the other hand, was merely irritated. Everything he had learnt at Hogwarts told him that the teacher was droning on about complete and absolute lies. Then the bell rang.

Harry hurriedly made his way to the cafeteria slinging his bag over his shoulder only to bump into his red headed girlfriend as soon as he walked through the doors. The chatter seemed to quieten as their eyes met and a grin spread across each of their faces and a light sparked in Ginny's eyes. 

"Hey," she breathed out, "I got some food for you. Wanna eat outside?"

The boy adjusted his glasses and smiled warmly, "Of course."

They caught each other up on their days as they walked towards a bench outside or, in Ginny's case complained about the lack of women's sports teams which ignited an argument about sexism in the muggle world - Harry of course wanting to protect the muggles and Ginny seeing the muggle patriarchy as it really was, "It's a shambles, Harry. Don't try to prove otherwise." After dodging a punch Harry went on to 'educate', or more accurately - lecture, his girlfriend about muggle culture, starting with music. He had been teaching Ginny all sorts of things over the past few months, much to Arthur Weasley's fascination, he taught her how to use a cell phone, how to do play American football, how to do a word search (which had taken longer than it should've), and of course how to curse like a muggle. This week he was teaching her and Teddy some muggle songs. He had realised the night before that Ginny had never heard of Micheal Jackson and so the artist of the day was MJ.
