Harry and Ginny sat in the common rooms, everyone else had gone off to see the Hufflepuff VS Ravenclaw match. Harry was comfortable sitting in an armchair whilst Ginny sat on his lap and read a muggle book. Thanks to their connection, Harry was also reading it through Ginny's eyes, she thought it wasn't too bad but Harry made it clear that he didn't like it but he read along with her in the hopes that it got better, he was very disappointed when she finished it and it didn't.
"May I?" Harry asked as he took the book from Ginny
"Be my guest" She replied, knowing exactly what he wanted to do. Harry tossed the book into the fireplace and had a villainous smile when the book burnt.
"Die devil book!" Harry spoke dramatically "may you never again sully our minds or waste our time"
"Dramatic" Ginny smiled
"I learnt from the best" Harry replied "so, how do you think the DA is going?"
"Brilliant, I mean it was a bit slow at first but you're a great teacher and they're all a lot stronger. By the way, when are we getting rid of Umbridge? Those blood quills she's been using on people should be good enough"
"Soon" Harry answered "I've got everyone preparing statements, I plan to do it around the same time I reveal my secret"
"You sure you want to do that? Reveal your secret?"
"Yes…I do, if only to see the look on Dumbledore's face. I'm sick of waiting and constantly sneaking out is making things more difficult, besides I can handle assassinations so I should be fine."
"Oh I'm not worried about you" Ginny shook her head "the death eaters, maybe, but not you"
"Love you too" Before more could be said the common room door opened and a furious Ron and Hermione walked in.
"Potter" Ron spat
"You know I think he's just permanently angry" Harry commented
"Shut your mouth, this is all your fault" Ron pointed at Hermione, to which Harry raised an eyebrow
"As attractive as Mrs Granger was, I haven't slept with her. I think the blame for that particular problem resides with Mr and Mrs Granger."
"That's not what he meant" Hermione turned red "he meant this" Hermione showed Harry her hand, in her skin the words 'I will not lie' was written.
"Blood quills right?" Ginny asked "we've heard she's been using them on a few people, but how is this Harrys fault?"
"Umbridge put her in detention because of you" Ron pointed at Harry "apparently she was 'telling lies' when she said you-know-who had come back"
"Weasley if you keep pointing that finger at me you're going to lose it" Harry looked at the finger as if it had insulted his mother, Ron paled slightly before hiding his hands his back "besides it's not my fault she chose to speak instead of staying quiet"
"But Harry, you were lying about you-know-who" Hermione pointed out
"That depends on how you define lying"
"I define it as not telling the truth" Hermione replied "what do you define it as?"
"Reclining your body in a horizontal position" Harry answered with a straight face. Silence ringed through the common room.
"I'm leaving" Hermione spoke before doing just that.
"So…" Harry spoke awkwardly "done anything meaningful or important with your life yet?"
"Get stuffed Potter" Ron growled before stalking off
"Such an impressive way of speaking" Ginny sighed "so, what do you want to do now?"
"Well I'm going off to play vigilante then I'll be back at around midnight"
"Okay, I'll wait for you"
"You don't need to do that"
"And you don't need to go out save the world"
"Sort of do, you know, being the only one capable and all" Harry slowly stood and Ginny got off his lap.
"Happy hunting" She pecked him on the cheek before he left.
Harry left the common room and popped away, he was rather pleased with himself as by the time he returned he had had the pleasure of running into ten death eaters. When he returned his clothes turned back into his school robes, as he walked down the hallway at night he was intercepted by Ginny.
"Hey beautiful" Harry smiled "what's up?"
"Harry" Ginny spoke in an urgent voice "Stink came back, apparently one of the elves had saw a death eater at the department of mysteries, he overheard plans to steal the prophecy tomorrow"
"What?!" Harry asked in a shocked voice "what do you know?"
"Only they're planning to do it around tomorrow afternoon" Ginny replied "the elf is following them, he's been ordered to immediately leave if his life is in danger so don't worry about him. He should get some more information later, I told Stink to have us informed in the morning"
"Good, it might have to go down tomorrow then…come on, let's get some sleep"
The two made their way back to their private room when someone walked around the corner and now stood in front of them with a victorious look.
"Aha" Dolores Umbridge shouted "I've caught you two, up at night, outside of curfew"
"Prefects" Ginny replied "it's our turn to do the rounds"
"Today is the Ravenclaws turns" Umbridge smiled so wide that Harry thought her mouth would break. "What do you have to say for yourselves"
"I'll take care of this" Harry spoke softly to Ginny before he turned to Umbridge with a serious look on his face "Dolores Umbridge, what do you think you are doing out this late?!" Umbridge opened her mouth but found herself speechless "You could have been dead for all we knew!"
"Well as you can, see I am very much alive."
"I know and how dare you get our hopes up like that?! I've never been so disappointed in all my life! Moving stairs, a forbidden forest filled with tons of dangerous creatures and a magical school with little to no safety rules and you haven't even managed to get injured! I'm incredibly mad with you right now!"
