How they met and fell in love was similar to their counterparts. But at the same time it was very differently. This is how against all odds fell in love. They helped during the second wizard war.
Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Hogwarts, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star - crossed lovers take their life;
Whose misadventure piteous overthrows
Doth with their death bury their parents strife.
The fearful passage of their death-marked love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which their children's end, naught could remove,
Is now but two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.
- William Shakespeare (Romeo and Juliet prologue)
"Hermione Granger? Are you in there?" Ginny asked. I knew she was going to ask that. It was the third time that I have spaced out deep in thought. "Yea, I'm here Gin. I'm sorry. I guess I have a lot on my mind lately." I said. "Oh? What about?" Ginny asked as we reached the Great Hall for breakfast.
As we entered all eyes were on us. Ginny being Harry's ex-girlfriend was used to the eyes of the student body following her everywhere she went. They both decided that they were better as friend. A few months after they broke up Ginny started dating my brother. Harry right now is still single. The Hogwarts student body still watches their every move though. But we knew that it wasn't her that they were watching.
"Ever since everyone found out that Drake asked me to the ball it's been like this." I said as we sat down at the Gryffindor table. "So he finally asked you?" Ginny asked. "You didn't know?" I asked. "No , I didn't. Drake didn't even tell Ron or Harry when they asked him about it last night." Ginny said. "Well he asked me right after dinner last night. Right before he went to the dungeons with Theo and Blaise." I said. "Well we've all been saying it since first year. You two would be the cutest couple. Everyone in Hogwarts has been saying that." Ginny said.
"Actually you guys have been saying that since before Hogwarts. But he is my brothers' best friend. I still think it is a little weird. That he even asked me that is." I said. As I said that the guys walked into the Great Hall and spotted us. "Hey, Mia, Ginny what are you two talking about?" Blaise asked as he, Drake, Theo and Harry sat down. "Hey, Blaise good morning. We're just talking about the upcoming Hogsmeade trip to get our dresses." We both said. "Is it just me or is everyone staring at us more so than usual?" Theo asked. "You're right. But we've not pulled any pranks this week at all." Harry said. Harry, Theo, Blaise and Drake were like the second generation of marauders. "You're right." Theo said. As Luna sat down next to him. "I think the nargles are affecting everyone today." Luna said. We were all use to Luna's random outbursts like this. It made us love her even more. She had even tamed the inner playboy in Theo somehow. They have been together almost two years now. She makes him a better person. And sometimes a very lovesick guy that is very sweet. "Hello love good morning to you." Theo said kissing Luna on the cheek. I couldn't help smile at them interacting with one another. "So any ideas as to what they're talking about?" Drake asked. "Well I walked by a group of girls on my way here." Luna said. "And?" Harry asked. Obviously his curiosity was at its peak. His mother says that he inherited that from James. "You know you are so much like Uncle James you know that Harry?" I asked. "I know and I take that as a compliment." Harry says as Ronald Weasley and Millicent Bulstrode pass by us. "Got a big enough head on your shoulders huh Potter." Weasley said. We all grew up together as friends. But once we entered Hogwarts something in Ron changed for the worse. We became enemies with him. And barely tolerate each other anymore. "Weaslebee why don't you mind your own business and shove off." Blaise said. "Whatever you lot are boring anyway." Weasley said walking away towards the Slytherin table. He is the only Weasley in history to be sorted into Slytherin. His parents at this point are really worried about his atitude. And fear that he is taking his anger out on the world. "Ginny sorry about that my love." Blaise said kissing her fingers. "Don't be I would have done much worse." Ginny said. "So what were they talking about anyway Luna?" Ginny asked. Though I had a gut feeling that I already knew the answer before Ginny even asked that question. " They were talking about how Drake asked Mia to the ball." Luna said point blank. All our friends went dead silent and stared at us in awe as Pansy came up to us. We were trying to get her and harry together since the beginning of term. "Hey guys what's going on?" She asked as she sat down next to Harry. "Hey Pans. Give them a few minutes . They just found out that Drake asked me to the ball." I said.
