ginnyshardblazinglook:“Harry, I’m talking to you, can you hear me?” “Huh?” He looked round. Ginny Weasley, looking very windswept, had joined him at the library table where he had been sitting alone. It was late on Sunday evening: Hermione had gone back to Gryffindor Tower to revise Ancient Runes, and Ron had Quidditch practice. “Oh, hi,” said Harry, pulling his books towards him. “How come you’re not at practice?” “It’s over,” said Ginny. “Ron had to take Jack Sloper up to the hospital wing.” “Why?” “Well, we’re not sure, but we think he knocked himself out with his own bat.” She sighed heavily. “Anyway … a package just arrived, it’s only just got through Umbridge’s new screening process.” She hoisted a box wrapped in brown paper on to the table; it had clearly been unwrapped and carelessly re-wrapped. There was a scribbled note across it in red ink, reading: Inspected and Passed by the Hogwarts High Inquisitor. “It’s Easter eggs from Mum,” said Ginny. “There’s one for you … there you go.” She handed him a handsome chocolate egg decorated with small, iced Snitches and, according to the packaging, containing a bag of Fizzing Whizzbees. Harry looked at it for a moment, then, to his horror, felt a lump rise in his throat. “Are you OK, Harry?” Ginny asked quietly. “Yeah, I’m fine,” said Harry gruffly. The lump in his throat was painful. He did not understand why an Easter egg should have made him feel like this. “You seem really down lately,” Ginny persisted. “You know, I’m sure if you just talked to Cho …” “It’s not Cho I want to talk to,” said Harry brusquely. “Who is it, then?” asked Ginny, watching him closely. “I …” He glanced around to make quite sure nobody was listening. Madam Pince was several shelves away, stamping out a pile of books for a frantic-looking Hannah Abbott. “I wish I could talk to Sirius,” he muttered. “But I know I can’t.” Ginny continued to watch him thoughtfully. More to give himself something to do than because he really wanted any, Harry unwrapped his Easter egg, broke off a large bit and put it into his mouth. “Well,” said Ginny slowly, helping herself to a bit of egg, too, “if you really want to talk to Sirius, I expect we could think of a way to do it.” “Come on,” said Harry dully. “With Umbridge policing the fires and reading all our mail?” “The thing about growing up with Fred and George,” said Ginny thoughtfully, “is that you sort of start thinking anything’s possible if you’ve got enough nerve.” -- source link
