"Oh it says plus one!" Ginny exclaimed excitedly as she and Hermione were looking over the invites. "We can bring dates,"
"You'll be taking me then?" Dean asked with a toothy grin as he smiled down at me. He had been sitting beside me, doing some homework while I was reading. "Actually I thought I'd take someone else," I told with such convincing sincerity Dean actually stood up.
"Who?" he demanded, making Harry and Ron, who were playing chess at a table off to the side, look up.
"Ginny Weasley, of course," I smiled walking over to where she had sat down, reading her invitation. Michael, her boyfriends, looked up from his gobstones game with Neville as I sat dramatically in her lap and put my arms around her. "Ginny, would you go to the party with me?" I asked.
"Hey! I though you going to ask me!" Hermione exclaimed with a giggle.
"Sorry, hun," I smiled over at her.
"I don't know. I think my boyfriends wouldn't approve," Ginny began sarcastically before a smile spread across her face. "Okay!"
"Hey!" Michael exclaimed, standing.
"I thought we agreed to share," Ginny said. "You know I can't choose,"
"Alright, come on," Dean chuckled.
Dean walked over to Ginny and I and practically lifted me off of Ginny before carrying me back to the couch, making me squeal, a bit afraid that he might drop me at any moment. He didn't though, and he set me down, letting me lay out against the couch, putting my arms out along the back of the couch, feeling like a stretching cat.
"I thought this time you wouldn't mind sharing," I smiled, getting back to what we had been saying.
"I do mind," Dean said serious as he sat next to me before kissing me softly for a long moment. "So who are you taking?" he asked.
"Hmm," I pretended to think long and hard about his question before I smiled. "I think I'll take Hermione,"
"Oh shut up," Dean laughed as he kissed me again.
*Third Person*
"You'll be taking me then?" Harry heard Dean ask Rebecca from where the couple sat on the couch.
"Actually I thought I'd take someone else," Rebecca said, to Harry's surprise, making him look up at her as Dean jumped up.
"Who?"
"Ginny Weasley, of course," Harry watched as Rebecca smiled brightly, making his heart beat a little faster. He watched as she walked over to where Ginny had sat, and sat down in her lap and putting her arms around Ginny. "Ginny, would you go to the party with me?"
"Hey! I though you going to ask me!" Hermione exclaimed with a giggle.
"Sorry, hun," Rebecca smiled, leaning backwards so that he long dark hair fell over her shoulder.
"I don't know. I think my boyfriends wouldn't approve," Harry could hear Ginny saying as he watch Rebecca. "Okay!"
"Hey!" Michael exclaimed.
"I thought we agreed to share," Ginny said. "You know I can't choose,"
"Alright, come on," Dean chuckled.
Harry watched as Dean walked over to Rebecca and lifted her off of Ginny and carried her back to the couch, making her squeal, a noise he had never heard in the six years he had none her. Harry watched as Rebecca stretched across the couch, doing interesting things to her shirt, before he watched another smile grace her face.
"I thought this time you wouldn't mind sharing," Rebecca smiled, getting back to what we had been saying.
"I do mind," Dean said before he leaned in and kissed Rebecca.
At the sight, Harry wanted to get up and punch something. He hated seeing Rebecca and Dean be so close, he hated these feelings he had! For him to feel this way for someone, why'd it have to be Rebecca, his best friend, the one with a boyfriend? The first part of the question he could answer easily, but the last part was a mystery to him. So instead of punching something, Harry just looked away and back down to the chess board.
"So who are you taking?" he heard Dean ask.
"Hmm, I think I'll take Hermione," Rebecca giggled.
"Oh shut up,"
There was another long silence that made Harry's stomach coil, but he kept his eyes locked on the chess board.
"Your turn,"
