The First Kiss

AN: This is my second story. I would like to thank tanithw for betaing it for me. I would also like to thank her and Tigertales for giving me a nudge to write again. This will be a multi-chapter story. Marble.
It was the final day at Hogwarts. Graduation was finally over. Hermione was proud of herself for three reasons. One was she was able to help Harry defeat Lord Voldemort. The second reason was the fact that all three were able to come back and complete their education at Hogwarts and thirdly, she graduated with top honors and had been accepted into the most prestigious wizarding college for Transfiguration. She was walking towards the Gryffindor Common Room to go get ready for the Graduation Dance that she is going to with her boyfriend, Ron. They had finally gotten together after the Final Battle.
She walks through the common room and went up to the Head Girl's Room to jump into the shower and get herself dolled up for the last time at Hogwarts. The last time she recalls dressing like this was at the Yule's Ball in her fourth year during the Tri-wizard's Tournament. She had wanted to go with Ron but Victor Krum asked her before Ron even thought to ask her. She had a smile on her face thinking about how much Ron had grown since then. He still has his moments but he is still a sweet man.
There is a knock at the door. "Come in," yells out Hermione from her private bathroom. In walks Ginny Weasley.
"Are you ready yet?" asked Ginny.
"No," stated Hermione, "I still have to do my hair yet. I am surprised that you aren't with Harry yet."
"Too early," Ginny replied. Harry and Ginny got back together shortly after all the funerals, official dinners and interviews were over from the Final Battle. They agreed to take their time and get to know each other again. In other words, rediscover themselves and their friends. They went through a lot by themselves for the past year and it was going to take a while to adjust to everything and everyone again as a whole. "Besides he is helping Ron put on his dress robes. At least, this one is better than the last one he wore." The girls giggled at the thought remembering that awful dress robe that he had to wear at the Yule Ball.
"That's good. He was never really good at tying the bow part of the robes but then again neither was Harry," said Hermione with a chuckle. She remembers the many times that she had to do both of their ties over the years. Ginny laughs as well.
Hermione comes out of the bathroom to see Ginny for the first time. "WOW, Ginny. You look stunning in your dress," exclaims Hermione. Ginny is wearing a Forest Green dress with spaghetti straps on her shoulders with a V shape back that goes down to the small of her back. Its length is just below the knee and billows out at the skirt. She is wearing 6" pumps to match with emerald earrings and necklace set that Harry gave her at Christmas time that was his mother's. His father brought the set for his mother.
"Thanks Hermione," replies Ginny. Ginny whistles at Hermione when she finally gets a look at her, "Hermione! You look absolutely beautiful. My brother won't know what hit him when he sees you." Hermione gives Ginny a Cheshire cat smirk. Hermione is wearing a Garnet dress with gold straps and trim. A true Gryffindor through and through. It brought her gold flecks in her hair, which was pinned up with a gold lion hairpiece. She was wearing a Garnet and gold necklace and earring set that her parents gave her for her Graduation gifts. She was able to find them shortly after the Final Battle. They were mad at first but they were able to talk things out between them. They understood why she did it. On her feet, she had on a pair of gold 6" heels so she can dance better with Ron.
"Thanks, Ginny. I really appreciate the compliment before we see your brother," Hermione states in a teasing voice. Ginny laughs at the remark knowing that her brother forgets to compliment Hermione when she is all dressed up. "Ginny? Are we ready to go to have some fun?" Ginny nods because she is still giggling at Hermione's remark. "Then let's go!!"
They walk out of the Head Girl room and go down the girls' staircase that leads to the common room. "I hope the boys are ready for us," states Ginny. She is following Hermione down the stairs. Hermione nods her head in reply while she was checking to make sure that everything was in place. As she approaches the bottom of the stairs, she looks up at hearing voices. She freezes in her tracks at the bottom of the stairs. Ginny bumps into her not realizing that Hermione had stopped. "Hermione? Why did you stop for?" Hermione doesn't respond so Ginny, being athletic like she is, pushes Hermione over to the side to see what is going on. When she does, she yells, "RON!"
