The chapter about the Ball is finally here! Yay! Just so you know, I have a new story called Sometimes posted. Please read both it and this chapter, and review!

Fred was getting impatient. He had been waiting for fifteen minutes outside of the Great Hall for Luna, and she still hadn't shown up. Where could she be? He had already watched George and Katie walk in, not to mention about three hundred other students. The only person other than his brother that had really stood out was a girl that he thought was in Luna's year, with black curly hair and a dark green dress on. She had been scowling and chatting to Trina. He had thought that he had heard Luna's name, but he couldn't be sure.

Finally, his date arrived. She looked lovely in a silver dress with a purple flower in her hair. She didn't seem to be wearing make –up. This was because she had wiped all of Ruby's silver lipstick off because she had decided to just ignore her.

The pair walked into the Great Hall, where the Ball was already in full swing. They danced a little bit, not saying much, and then decided to take a walk out on the grounds. They both continued to be silent as they wandered down to the Black Lake. The two could still here music floating out from the castle, and Luna Lovegood and Fred Weasley began to dance, by themselves right next to the lake. Soon they became tired, and climbed up into a tree nearby.

"So, um, how's it going, Luna?" Fred asked awkwardly, finally trying to make conversation.

"Lovely, I haven't seen a single nargle, or wrackspurt, or anything all night."

"Good."

Fred casually tried to put his arm around her shoulders, failed, and nearly fell out of the tree for lack of balance. He might have been able to keep from falling, if Luna hadn't grabbed him and tried to help him up. She lost her balance as well, and they both fell out of the tree, laughing as they hit the grass.

Without even thinking, Fred kissed the girl on top of him. They fell over, but it took only took two seconds for them to break apart. Without saying a word, they walked back to the castle, turned their separate ways at the Entrance Hall, and each walked to their common rooms.

When Luna walked into her dormitory, all of her friends started talking at once.

"Luna, where were you? I did fall onto Terry Boot after all, but he didn't care – "

"Oh, my, gosh, Luna you look really flushed did you and Fred – "

"Hey, Loony, I mean, Luna."

Luna, Trina, and Vanessa all turned to look at Ruby, but it was Luna who spoke first.

"Yes, Ruby?"

"I, um, wanted to apologize."

Muahahaaaaaa cliff hanger! Sorry 'bout that, I just couldn't resist. I started to type the next line and thought, "Nah, I should torture my few, but valued, readers." Please review, hope you enjoyed!
