Harry:

"Hey Harry!" I turned arond and grinned. Ron Weasley came running towards me, looking slightly out of breath. "Did you hear?"

"Hear 'bout what?"

"The dance!" Ron said, "it's on the bullintin board."

I groaned.

Ron eyed me, "what's the problem, mate?"

I started walking along with Ron, "dance means having to have a date!"

Ron stopped looking like he was thinking- hard, "right- right, but do we HAVE to?"

"Ron-"

"OK, suppose we do. But who would we bring? I mean we can't exactly ask the Patil twins." Ron said starting to pace.

I watched him go back and forth, "Ron-"

"See if we ARE in six year and we do NEED a date. It seems a bit odd if we don't, I mean we're old enough-"

"Ron!"

"Plus being us we should be able to get one. But the matter is about asking a girl-"

"RON!"

"Wha-"

"If you stop for a moment maybe we could think of something on the way to Gryffindor tower?"

"To right, sorry mate, just a little worried."

Ron:

"Flying ferret," Harry said.

I started laughing.

"What's so funny?"

"Remember in fourth year when-" I needn't finished, because suddenly we both burst out laughing.

"That-was hil-arious!"

"Yeah, it was," replied Harry as the laughter subsided and we both stepped into the common room.

"You know, I wonder. Who ever came up with the 'Flying ferret?' I mean really, they must of seen Malfoy bounc-"

We were at it again. This time I was the first to finish.

"Ok.. . . So, who are you going to ask?" I started fiddling with my hands. We started walking towards the couch

"Dunno. I mean would you allow me to be with Ginny?" He stopped when he saw my face.

"Oh. . .sorry I asked." I watched as Harry's face blushed slightly at his words.

"No, no it's okay. Really. I mean, you two are perfect for each other."

"Really? So, it's okay if I ask her?"

"Go ahead. No one stopping you."

"I guess so. But maybe later, I have to think of what I'll say to her when I get my chance."

"Okay mate. Problem solved." We sat in front of the fire on the sofa and looked dumbly out the window.

"Hello? Anybody home?" A hand waved in front of my face.

"Huh?" I jumped out of my seat. Ginny started laughing at me and so did Harry.

"That wasn't nice," I said getting a bit mad. I sat back down on the sofa.

"Lighten down. I just need a quick word with you."

"Alright. Harry mate, I'll be a mo."

"Er right mate. I'll be right here."

Ginny started walking away, so I quickly followed her.
