A.N. This one happens in the last DA session. Hope you like! Mistakes are my own!

Harriet stretched as the rest of the members of the DA filed in for their last session before Christmas. Angelina didn't sound hopeful about any of her teams replacements but in all seriousness there wasn't much Harriet could do, Rule number 6: Draco Malfoy and his goons are just idiots and well Umbridge was right up there with them.

"Right no point in learning anything new with a three week break coming up."

"We're not going to learn anything new?" Zacharias Smith complained, "if I'd known that I wouldn't have come."

"We're all really sorry Harriet didn't bother to tell you then!" Fred said loudly causing several people to snigger.

"We'll spilt up and start with Impediment Jinx, I think we should get out the cushions and go over Stunning again too."

And the DA divided up. Harriet looked around the room, turning to only be stunned by the sight she saw before her. Fred and paired up with her usual partner Neville.

"Should I be worried?" Harriet asked George.

"Not in the slightest." George replied.

Harriet laughed, she was only slightly concerned for Neville's safety. "Guess I'm with you then."

"I guess you are."

George was more of a challenge then Neville but Harriet thrived on challenges. She forgot that she was meant to watching how the members of the DA were getting on, it was more important to put George Weasley on the floor. Give him his due he lasted ten minutes before Harriet managed to see an opening that sent George in a stunned state colliding with the floor.

"Well it seems that at least one person here did need the practice." Harriet joked softly as George got to his feet slowly after she reverted his stunned state.

George ran a hand through his hair. Harriet's focus returned to the room, several people had turned to watch them and Harriet felt her cheeks heat up a little, perhaps she should have gone a little easier then she did, the watchful eyes turned to their own partners and the room filled up with spells once more. George paired up with his twin brother and Neville meaning Harriet could walk around the room.

"I forgot just how powerful she is," George said as Harriet corrected a follow member of the DA wand movements. He had known that it wouldn't be easy pairing up with her.

"It's because she goes easy on me." Neville said.

"She's not going easy on anyone Neville," Fred responded, "she's different with everyone here. If you watch closely enough. It's like she knows what will make people achieve all they can."

"I've never been able to do half of these spells before, until Harriet."

"it's all about confidence Neville." Fred said.

"and clearly," George added, "a lot of practice."

"Right" Harriet called to the room, "that's it for today. You are getting really good."

Disappointed tones went around the room, much like usual.

"Okay, Okay, but no more for today. When we get back from the holidays we'll start tackling the big stuff, and maybe Patrnouses."

Excitement rang throughout the room, causing Harriet to beam at them all brightly. "Good night, have a lovely Christmas."

The room began to clear out and Harriet began to clear up the cushions they'd been using.

"We should help her, she's always clearing up." Neville said

"I'm on it Neville. Have a good one, see you after the holidays." George said dismissing him, he glanced at Ron and indicated towards the door. They were alone now.

"You're a good teacher you know!" George said. Harriet spun around, a little surprised, she'd glanced around the room quickly, clearly noticing that they were alone now. George hadn't been this close to her since Grimmauld place.

"Thanks," Harriet said looking a little awkward.

"I mean it, look at Neville, he could take on Umbridge!"

"Perhaps one day." Harriet laughed.

Harriet didn't know what kept her there in the room of requirement in George's presence. She knew she needed to say something, give an excuse to leave, but not one came to her. Her feet seemed to be stuck in the one place.

"It's brave you know," George said, "taking on Umbridge, doing all this. It's brave that you stand up for what you believe in."

"Well it's not like I want Voldemort to win." Harriet found herself saying, "if I can help people keep themselves a little bit longer, not that Voldemort gives anyone much of a chance, if he wants to kill you. But I like knowing that at least I might help delay that."

"You want to know something." George said. "I believe if anyone is able to stop him, it's not going to be Dumbledore, it will be you."

"I've still got a lot to learn myself!" Harriet brushed him off. A hand cupped her cheek, she didn't even realise that she had tilted her head lost in her thoughts.

"It will be you!" George repeated.

Never before had she felt like someone had faith in her. Not until now.

"Mistletoe," George said pointing towards the ceiling above her head.

George was closer to her now. He was far to close. There was rule nine to think about. But her brain didn't think of that. It was filled with other thoughts the mistletoe had supplied it with. Thoughts answered by George's lips pressed lightly against hers. Harriet meant to push him away, only her hands betrayed her and she pulled him closer, pressing her lips against George's a bit more firmer.

She was never going to tell Ron about this for she'd never be able to. This was just another secret she was just going to have to keep along with the letters she'd been sending George. She knew she's never be able to look at George again but that was tomorrow's problem. Right now, all that mattered, was here and this kiss. The kiss she'd never thought she'd be able to have with George.
