[That earns him another half-laugh, soft and brief and barely swallowed back.]
How dare you compare me to Binns, and on a day like today. Your chances of me calling you handsome at all are lowering, knobhead.
[Ginny's voice takes on an affectionate cast usually kept quiet around her brothers, if only because it's an unspoken understanding among the Weasley siblings that they care for each other. No need to get soppy when there's mud to wrestle in and brooms to fly, right? But she can't help it. She hasn't even seen Fred and she's already trying to take advantage of every extra minute she's been given. So the youngest - perhaps not the youngest anymore - Weasley shuts off her device, stuffs it into the pocket of her shorts, grabs her wand and races out of the apartment until she's clear of its protective wards.
Once in the corridor, she Apparates to the fountain, reappearing on the opposite side of the thing from her brother with a sharp crack. Ginny doesn't even wait for the dizziness to fade before she leaps onto the lip of the fountain to search out of the area for a flash of Weasley red hair and... there. Oh, Merlin, it's him. Her heart leaps into her throat and she forces her voice past it to shout out,]
