"You do? Why?"

"Just so people will be able to tell Parvati and me apart."

"I can tell you apart."

"I know," Padma kissed Ginny's forehead. "That doesn't quench my desire, though."

"What happens next year? When you're not in Hogwarts anymore?"

"We'll write," Padma said convincingly. "And I'll meet you during Hogsmeade weekends. We'll make it work."

"You'd look great with short hair," Ginny tugged at Padma's thick strands.

"Maybe I won't cut it just yet," Padma said, and pulled Ginny in for a kiss.
