Harry was humming in the lunch line the following day.
“Guess Snape took the news well,” Ron said.
“Yeah.” Harry grinned. “He figured I’d tell you guys.”
Ron froze, and following his gaze, Harry saw why. Seated with Hermione at ‘their’ table was a smirking Ginny.
Harry sent Hermione questioning a look. Hermione shrugged.
Ginny sighed. “Clearly you think I’m just being nosy, but I’m worried, Harry. Keeping secrets divides friends.”
Harry raised an eyebrow. “So it’s not because you’re dying of curiosity?”
Ginny huffed. “You may as well tell me! I’ll find out eventually.”
“Maybe,” Harry said. “Maybe not.”
~
“Harry!” Ginny cried. “C’mon, just tell me!” When Harry stayed silent, she huffed. “Fine, whatever happens is on you.” Jumping up, she stalked off, pushing through several groups, dividing them in her wake.
“Careful, mate,” Ron said. “She’s determined.”
Harry shrugged, tucking into his lunch. “I know, but I can’t live my life worrying about upsetting her.”
“You should still be careful, though.” Ron grinned. “Maybe use some of those stealth measures we learned during Auror training?”
Harry nodded. “Hey, d’you think—?”
“What?” Hermione asked.
“Should I warn…him?”
Hermione smiled. “It’s a good excuse to see him.”
Harry blushed.
~
Heeding Ron’s advice, Harry took care when he left that evening. Ginny wasn’t around, but she was tricky, so, after entering the exit Floo, he divided his trip into multiple jumps to confuse anyone watching.
Once sure he wasn’t being followed, Harry went to Snape’s apothecary.
“Ms Weasley’s spying on you, and so you decided to come see me?” said Snape when Harry told him the situation.
Harry sighed. “When you put it like that, I guess I should’ve stayed away.”
Snape coughed. “I…didn’t say that.”
Harry went still. “So you don’t mind me visiting?”
“Obviously.”
Harry beamed. “Brilliant.”
~
Over dinner, Harry intercepted several speculative looks from Snape. “Should I expect you again tomorrow evening for dinner?” he asked as he walked Harry to the door.
Harry grinned. “It does seem to be becoming a habit, doesn’t it? Good thing we get along so well these days.”
“Indeed.” Snape raised an eyebrow. “I take it this means you’re not seeing anyone special these days. Unless—”
“Unless?” Harry asked.
“Unless you’re dividing your time between us.”
“Nope.” Harry held Snape’s eyes with his. “You’re the only one I’m…seeing.”
“Ah.” Colour stained Snape’s pale cheeks.
“That okay?” Harry asked.
“Quite.”
~
Harry practically floated home. That Snape seemed to welcome a possible relationship had been heady.
He’d considered kissing Snape, but Snape wasn’t the sort it was wise to…press. Still, Harry’d ached to try.
Once home, Harry froze. His wards were off. Someone had tried tampering with them.
Drawing his wand, he whispered, “Revelio.”
The bushes divided to reveal Ginny crouching there.
Harry sighed. “Really?”
Scowling, Ginny stood, brushing off her jeans. “You can’t hide him forever, Harry.”
Harry shook his head. “This is getting ridiculous, Gin—”
But Ginny was already gone.
Sighing, Harry went inside. Maybe he needed help.
