Snape watched them together in potions, laughing and giggling with each other without a care in the world. He was becoming frustrated having to watch their public displays of affection, and eventually his pot boiled over.
"Potter!" He boomed, wiping the smile from the boys face. "You are under MY authority whilst you are in this room, and may I remind you that the classroom is a place of education NOT personal pleasure." Snape seethed, glaring at the boy. His eyes met Ginny's for a second but she looked away, she looked sad, disappointed even.

"Sorry Professor Snape!" Harry groaned, returning his attention to his potion. Ginny glanced back to Snape when she assumed he was no longer looking, but he was... His eyes hadn't left her for a second. He gave her a small and slightly desperate smile, which she half heartedly returned. Ginny knew that she couldn't help but soften when he smiled at her, she was just annoyed with herself for being so pathetically weak when it came to him.

When the class was over Snape requested she stay behind, Harry glared at him and looked to Ginny for permission to leave, there was no way in hell he was going to leave her with that bat if she didn't want him to. Ginny gave Harry a small nod and told him she would see him later, Harry left them alone, begrudgingly.

"Ginevra..." Snape began, Ginny looked up at him and with aan awkward look on her face. "I don't want us to be like this, I miss your company. I never meant to hurt you at all, I need you to know that." He explained honestly, Ginny smiled and grabbed his hand, "me neither Severus, can we just forget it ever happened?"
"I'd like nothing more." Snape sighed with relief and squeezed her hand in return.
Ginny punched Snape in the arm playfully and he smirked at her, "did you just punch me in the arm?" He chuckled. "Oops, yeah boundaries... Sorry." She snorted, "you're lucky I'm your friend or I'd have hexed you. Actually, i don't think I've ever been punched in a humorous way before...." He smiled to himself before his face saddened as he remembered the punches he did get.

"I need to get to charms, so...." Ginny grinned, "of course." He nodded curtly, Ginny headed for the door and turned to say something, Snape looked at her hoping she would continue, "maybe we could meet up again sometime in the next few days, like before?" She quickly disappeared before the surprised loner could answer.
