Ginny sat in stunned silence, her heart still pounding from the kiss. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion and sudden excitement, trying to make sense of the feelings surging through her.
As she replayed the moment in her head, she recalled how their kiss had been abruptly interrupted by a sharp knock on the door. Mrs. Honey had entered, her eyes narrowing in disapproval.
"Miss Campbell, what on earth do you think you're doing locking this door?" Mrs. Honey scolded, her hands on her hips. "It's inappropriate and against school rules."
Persephone, looking unperturbed, gave Mrs. Honey a charming smile. "My apologies, Mrs. Honey. I just wanted a moment alone with Ginny to make sure she was okay."
Mrs. Honey's expression softened slightly but remained stern. "Be that as it may, it's not appropriate. Now, out with you."
