*~*Another Dream?*~*
The sorting hat just finished sorting all the new first years into their houses. Who would have thought that there was another Creevey brother to be sent into Gryffindor to praise Harry?
"I would like to make an announcement." Everyone in the Great Hall became silent. Albus Dumbledore was starting another one of his always famous speeches. "I would like to welcome all our new students to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I am sure you will enjoy your years here. Our staff and students will make you feel at home. Well, most of them will." With this Dumbledore gave a slight glance to the Slytherin table and Filch, the caretaker. "Well, with that being said..." and with a wave of his hand, food appeared on every table and there was a tremendous applause.
While eating, Harry asked Ron, "So what happened with you and Luna in the carriage?"
Ron choked on the piece of roast beef he had shoved in his mouth. "What are you talking about? Nothing happened! Why would you say that? Why are you staring at me? Everything is fine, nothing's the matter!" Harry and Hermione simply gave Ron a look that told him that they weren't buying a word he said. "Ugh, fine!" Ron threw down his fork. "If you really wanna know what happened...."
"Well, YA!" Harry and Hermione blurted in unison.
"She, she....she threw herself at me." Ron had trouble spitting his words out.
"She did WHAT?!" Hermione scoffed.
"She was kissing all over me."
"Ugh, I'm sure you enjoyed that!" Hermione rolled her eyes.
"No, there was nothing I could do, she just....just...I dunno, she just attacked me!" Harry burst into laughter but Hermione still had a sour look on her face. "What do you care anyway?" Ron asked her.
"I don't care. I just thought you would like someone that wouldn't just THROW themselves on you."
"Hermione, I don't like Luna. I told you, I couldn't help what happened."
"Ya, is that why it looks like a vacuum attacked your neck?!?!" With that Hermione threw her napkin onto her plate and ran up to the Gryffindor common room. Harry was almost dying of laughter.
"What is so funny?" Ron demanded of Harry.
"Oh nothing..." Harry mused. "You two just remind me or your mum and dad is all."

Hermione and Ron had gotten over their little tift and were now joking over what Seamus had been saying about Malfoy during Herbology class.
"Ya, and look at his girlfriend; she looks like a freaking dog! They would have the ugliest babies. I would never wish that upon ANY child." Ron stated.
"Ron, how many times do I have to tell you that beauty is on the inside?" Hermione responded.
"Don't tell me you are going to defend PANSY?!?!?!" Ron retorted.
"Well, she does look a little like a dog...."
"Ya, especially up close!" Harry said and he and Ron laughed so loud that half their class looked up from their assignments.
"Seriously, could there be an uglier couple? I don't THINK so!!"
"Well, Draco isn't that bad of a looker actually..." Hermione thought out loud.
"Now I HAVE to be hearing things." Ron half-laughed. "Hermione Granger cannot be saying a nice thing about Draco Malfoy!"
"Don't get me wrong, Ron, I hate Malfoy just about as much as you do, but I'm not blind you know." Ron couldn't believe what he was hearing and with that, Ron couldn't look Hermione in the face without his ears turning a brighter red than his hair.

It was almost 10 o'clock at night and the common room was clearing out. Hermione and Ron were still a little mad at each other so they had gone to bed early. Dean and Seamus were just saying goodnight to everybody while Harry was signing the last of the Creevey brothers' pictures and new articles of him. Now only Ginny, Neville, and Harry were in the common room.
Harry was finishing up his Transfiguration homework while eavesdropping on Neville telling Ginny not to let the bed bugs bite. Harry turned around just to see Neville give Ginny a hug and go up to bed. Ginny came and sat down next to Harry.
"Got yourself a boyfriend there, Ginny?"
"Oh no, I don't like Neville, I just don't have the heart to tell him that I am interested in someone else."
"And who would that be?" Harry inquired.
"You." Ginny said simply. Harry was surprised that Ginny was so upfront and turned to look at her. He was greeted by a soft peck on the lips.
"Goodnight Harry." Harry waited for himself to wake up. Then he realized that what just happened was not a dream.
