1 Prologue

"I didn't agree with this."

Was Ginny's first statement to Percy after three days of avoiding her throughout the campus. Percy was in the middle of the hallway, stuffing some things into her locker.

"What do you mean?" She faced Ginny, looking oblivious but with a trace of mischievousness on her gorgeous face.

Ginny believed that Percy's beauty had the power to make people speechless. Not to sound dramatic, but it is without a doubt. But Ginny is not like anyone else. Percy doesn't faze her.

"Just because something happened between us doesn't mean we need to date," she simply states matter of factly.

Percy just stared at her, seemingly subtly judging her with gentle eyes, "That's quite new. I always deemed you to be the old-fashioned one, but I guess I'm wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"And isn't it obvious for two people who shagged one another to be responsible for one another?" Percy said the words like it was the most obvious thing, "You snogged my face off, and you're saying you don't want to take responsibility?" Percy matched her gaze, a hint of playfulness glimmering in her eyes.

Did I really kiss her? Ginny ponders, utterly shocked by the information, mentally slapping herself in between. She composes herself, subtly unfazed.

"It's just that — I can't seem to remember such a thing. And if it did ever happen, I apologise. I wasn't in the right state of mind."

Percy was silent for a while, staring profoundly at her like a predator waiting to pound her prey.

"Ginny Green, are you perhaps interested in someone right now?" She asked gradually.

Ginny ponders. She couldn't fathom why she asked such a random thing. Is this some kind of trickery? She thinks yet again, carefully analysing her opponent.

"No. I don't — fancy anyone at the moment," she honestly replied. She matched Percy's intense gaze, not breaking eye contact.

She doesn't want to pretend that she likes someone because lying can only lead to misunderstandings. What she wanted to express to Percy was just simple, she doesn't want to be in a relationship, and she must respect that.

"Great. So am I."

Ginny was waiting to hear if she was going to say something rational (like breaking their recent predicament or announcing her as her girlfriend to everyone was an utter mistake). She urged her to say more.

"I'm not seeing anyone either, so we can go on a date," was Percy's simple reply.

Bloody hell. Ginny silently mutters.

There was no sign that Percy was backing down from her decision. She already said what needed to be said, but it seemed like Percy acted like she didn't hear anything.
