A/N: This story is in response to the "50 Art of Words" Challenge on the Harry Potter Fanfiction Challenges forum. I'll be writing 50 drabbles (exactly 250 words in this case) in the life of Harry and Ginny, each inspired by a prompt.

Each drabble will feature a moment at Harry's kitchen table. They're set a few years after the end of the war. I've worked out a bit of a backstory which I might reveal as we go on - I'll just say that Ginny is not living with Harry but spends most of her time at his flat. The drabbles are in chronological order, one for each day.

I have six of these written so far, so I'll hopefully be updating quickly. Enjoy!

"Mmph."

Ginny fails to hide a smirk. "Sorry Harry, what was that?"

"My head hurts," says Harry into the table.

"I'm not surprised," says Ginny. "I could hardly get you home last night."

The table in question is, in Ginny's opinion, one of her better efforts. Though she is not officially living in the London flat, she felt the need to assist the furnishing endeavour, and searched through dozens of Muggle thrift shops until she found just the right one. It is friendly and round, large enough for most of her family to sit around without too much discomfort, and dominates the tiny living area. Despite the hours of labour required to bring out its rich, warm grain, it is now just a part of the furniture, privy to the highs and lows of those who talk across it.

"So how much did you drink?" asks Ginny.

"I lost count after the fifth Firewhiskey."

"Ouch." She gives his shoulder a sympathetic squeeze. "No wonder you were singing so well."

Harry looks up hopefully. "Was that a compliment?"

"No!" Ginny slaps his hand away from her backside. "It was an insult to your normal singing ability."

"Sorry," says Harry. "What was I singing?"

Ginny snorts. "Celestina Warbeck. It was rather entertaining."

"Wonderful."

Ginny heads towards the kitchen. "I'd watch out if I were you. Ron's probably still laughing at you."

Harry's groan is accompanied by the thud of his head on the table. "Did I mention how much I hate Ron?"
