A/N: Wow, it has been a loooooong time since I updated. Really sorry everybody. This chapter isn't very good because I haven't been on a date for quite some time. Actually, I am going to skip the entire date and have everybody talk about what happened. J If anybody feels like writing about the date, e-mail me at notechic@yahoo.com and I'll put it in! hehehe. I hope you enjoy this chapter of which I'm not sure what it is cause I am being weird and writing the A/N first. And yes, I know I'm babbling. On with the story!
Chapter 14
*The girls room*
"Omg, Hermione, the date was wonderful! I can't imagine anybody being sweeter than Harry!" Ginny gushed.
"What did he do that was so sweet?" Hermione asked, slightly amused at her friend's excitement.
"Well, when he first picked up me, he had a dozen red roses! And he acted to gentlemanly the entire time! We went to that little café in Hogsmeade, La Petite Café. It was so romantic." (A/N: I'm sorry! I couldn't think of anything. I don't even take French! I take Spanish! But French sounds better then Un Poco.... Un Poco... I only know the word for cafeteria. Oh well. Back with the story!)
"Well, Ginny, I'm glad that you had a good time. I doubt Ron will ever be like that," Hermione said sadly.
"What happened?" Ginny asked politely.
"He was rather rude, and ignored me the entire time. The exact opposite of you and Harry. It wasn't a date, but still, I expected him to be a bit different. He is usually fine when it is us and Harry."
Ginny frowned then her face lit up as she said, "I have a plan, Hermione! It will be foolproof!"
"I'm not so sure about this Ginny, I would rather let him see what he does on his own."
"Fine, but let me tell you, my brother is very stubborn and will probably need help by the end."

*The guys room*
"I made a fool of myself today, Harry," Ron said sorrowfully. "I can't believe I did that to her! I am such a jerk!"
"That's nice, Ron," Harry said in a daze.
Ron continued talking, "I mean, how can she every like me? I am such a stupid person! It was just the two of us, kind of a date, but I blew her off! I was so rude!"
"That's nice," Harry said, still not hearing anything that Ron said.
This pattern continued for quite some time, Ron putting himself, Harry responding automatically, and Ron not noticing Harry's preoccupation. Until Ron finally stopped and asked Harry how his date went. Then Harry started rambling, Ron dozed off, and Harry did not notice.

*Somewhere*
"My little boy! All grown up!" Lily wailed.
"Now now dear, there is nothing to worry about. It's just a date," James said as he tried to calm his wife down. "It doesn't mean he's all grown up."
"But he's started! And… and…." Lily ran off, still crying.
"Women," James said, exasperated.

*The BIG picture, meaning, nowhere really*
Well, life went on in Hogwarts School. And it went on. People fell asleep in classes. Caldrons were melted in potions and some interesting transfigurations occurred. People broke up, got back together, and new relationships formed. Well, for the most part. Ron was still stubborn, and Ginny and Harry had one of those weird relationships that actually lasted more than a week. And Quidditch season started (A/N: did I start quidditch season yet? I truthfully can't remember, so if I did, please tell me in a review, thanks!) Then, one day, Professor McGondagal called Harry to her office.

*Professor McGondagal's office*
"Well, Harry, do you remember that I mentioned something at the beginning of the year?" she asked.
"Yes, you mentioned something coming up." he replied, trying to think of what it could be.
"It has to do with Sirius. There is going to be a trial held for him, because of a new law."
"What law would make them hold a trial? And what do you know about Sirius?" Harry was very confused at this point.
"Well, I know he is your godfather and he is innocent. Professor Dumbledor informed me of that. The law is that in order to search for somebody you must be sure they are convicted. However, if the person does not show up to the trial, they are automatically convicted."
"Is Sirius going to go to this trial?" Harry questioned.
"That is what we need your help for. First, to convince him to go to the trial. Second, to go to the trial and testify for him."
Harry started to get a bit worried, "I don't know if I will be able to make him do that! Or that I won't say the wrongs thing or they will take my word as anything. Some of them think that I am a loony, remember?"
"Harry, please just do your best. Go write a letter to Sirius for me, please? If he will agree to come, we may be able to get him off of the hook. Talk to Ron and Hermione about this also. They may be able to help in some way."
"Alright, I will go do that."
**************
A/N: Hold up, that is not what I was planning on doing with that, oh well, I may get him off of the hook. And this is my story! So I can do this although with the 5th book out now it would never happen ::sob:: I am sorry for any mistakes in the last section, for some reason when I tried to open this chapter it opened in wordpad, when i typed most of it in word, and wordpad doesn't have a spellcheck. Enjoy! And please review! I would write little notes to my reviewers, but I can't remember off of the top of my head, and I was to get this posted cause I've made all of you wait long enough! I hope you liked this! And please review!
