CHAPTER ONE: The Ball for the Birthday Girl.
Hermione awoke with a start. She jumped out and pulled on whatever jumped out from her trunk. Today it was a red pleated skirt and a blue sleeveless top. She raced down her robes flying at her side,eager to recieve her presents. Harry smiled, held out a box and gave Hermione butterfly kisses on her neck and whispered "Happy Birthday, Birthday girl..." he placed an saphire encrusted necklace with a golden pheonix at the end. " You shouldn't have..."whispered Hermione, " Must have cost you a lot..." she whispered, kissing him lightly on the cheek. " You deserve the...best, 'Mione." She laughed. Harry laughed too, and waved a good-bye as he noticed Ginny coming from the girl's dorm.
"Happy Birthday, 'Mione!" grinned Ginny. She handed Hermione a blue box with the words "Roses" printed in gold."Don't wear it unless you're alone with Harry...I got it for him..." whispered Ginny, grinning at her friend's suspicious look.She left, wishing Hermione a happy birthday, again. Parvati marched down, passing Hermione a big and small box.Parvati grinned, "Here, it'll go with what Ginny gave. I got you shoes too. They match, as well." Parvati grinned, before leaving.
"'Mione!" laughed Lavender, handing her a big box that also had the word "Roses" printed on it.
" It's something to go with everything else," laughed Lavender, waving to Ron and blowing a kiss to him. "Ron!"she exclaimed, before running to his side. "Oof," said Ron, " 'Mione I got you a book! Here." he passed her a thin book with the title: Discovery of your Powers by Afersi Kersona. Hermione grinned, "Time for breakfast!"The Gryffindors sat at the house table, eating bacon, french toast and scrambled eggs. Hermione's lap piled with presents and she smiled, " I love birthdays!" before the Gryffindor table erupted into laughter. "What?" said Hermione, trying not to laugh.
Just then, Professor McGonagall stood up and silenced the Great Hall. "Hem, hem!" coughed Professor Dumbledore." There will be a great ball to commemorate our Head Boy and Girl. All Fourth years onwards are allowed to come.Younger students may go, only with an older student." With that, he added. " Dress code: Only for this year, girls may wear gowns and dresses and boys may wear tuxedos or formal clothing, no need to wear dress robes!" The great hall erupted in cheers and the professors frowned.
" This is gonna be fun!" laughed Ginny, with Hermione laughinging and glancing at her pheonix, grinning.
