N/A: This chapter is kind of the rising action from the Older Gryffindor' POV. Hope you like it. HAPPY 19th Birthday to Rupert Grint!!!!
Older Ginny was sitting in front of Hermione's body double. She didn't know where to start. I'm stumped.
Flashback
"Ginny! Come on! Tell me!" Hermione said while she spread her arms wide. Ginny was measuring her arms and body for the gown she was designing. While they stood there in the center of the Common Room, Ron and Harry walked in smiling.
"Hey ladies." Harry said coming from behind Ginny and giving her a peck in the cheek.
"Hey, I haven't seen you since last night. Where were you two?" Ginny said looking sideways at Harry.
"Places, and could you not do this while I'm here?" Ron said looking at his sister and best friend. Harry let go of Ginny, Ginny didn't look really happy.
"Ron get over it, please?" She said, not hiding her anger.
"It's ok, Ginny. I would feel the same way if it was Hermione." Harry said laughing. Ron looked at him confused.
"What do you mean Hermione?"
"Ron, I love Hermione as a sister. I would feel just as protective as you do with Ginny." He said smiling, his eyes gleaming for some weird reason.
Ron looked at his with a look of "I get it", and smiled coyly at no one in particular.
"Well, now that we have established that Harry loves me and would kill who ever came close to me, could we get back to the fact that Ginny won't tell me how my gown is going to look like, Ginny." She said looking at Ginny fiercely at the last part of her sentence.
Ginny, who had dropped the measuring tape when Harry had come in, reached for it and started to measure Hermione again.
"Arms up please." She said while a notepad and quill levitated themselves next to her and stood at the ready. "Ok, upper body: 29, 27, and 30. Hips and lower body: 31, 28, and 34."
"Ginny, please just tell me. Is it going to be strapless, A-line, corset, what?" Hermione said stomping her foot, she was loosing her patience.
"Hermione calm down, don't worry, trust me I know what I'm doing." She said giving her a reassuring smile.
End of Flashback
I do have an idea of what I want this dress to look like, but it was to go in the way Hermione would want it to go.
Then the vision hit her like a bludger hitting her in the back of the head during a Quidditch match.
She stood up instantly and started working.
(Change of POV)
Younger Hermione was looking at herself in the mirror the Yule Ball was in three days. She couldn't believe that she was going with Viktor Krum to the Yule Ball let alone that he asked her to go with her.
She wanted to go with Ron, but he hadn't asked her so she had to face it, Ron wasn't mature enough to understand or even see how she felt about him.
Just then she heard a noise down stairs she walked out to see what was going on. She got the banister when she heard Older Ron's and Harry's voices:
"So are you going to ask her to go with you?"
"Yeah, I didn't do it last time, might as well do it now. Don't you think?"
"Yeah, same here. Do you let me take her?"
"Of course after all you are dating her."
"Thanks. Although I don't want people to know yet, imagine if the school finds out that I'm dating Ginny. It will seriously hurt the future, even if they will forget everything after Dumbledore finds out how to get us back."
Hermione gasped. OH. MY. GOD!!! Harry and Ginny are dating?!
"Yeah, I know what you mean. So it's ok if I ask Hermione?"
"Sure, as long as you don't do anything to harm her."
"Don't worry I won't."
Hermione couldn't believe it; Older Ron was going to ask Hermione to the Ball.
She ran back to the dormitory, and slammed the door behind her.
Harry and Ron looked up at the sound.
"Do you think that someone heard?" Ron said, sounding worried.
Just then they saw Nearly Headless Nick coming down from the Dormitories.
"Oh hello, Sirs." He said tipping his head.
"Nick was you in the Girls' Dormitories?" Harry asked, somewhat surprised.
"Of course not! How could you think of such a…a… sick thing?! I was just drifting around the top of the Tower. Yes that's right, the Tower."
"Oh, ok. Well, we have to go. See you around, Nick." Ron said starting for the Portrait Hole.
"Bye." Nick said lazily.
When they were gone, Hermione came out again her wand out. She was pointing at the ghost in the center of the Common Room. She waved her wand and the ghost disappeared.
Hermione gave a heavy and relieved sigh, "Thank Merlin they believed it."
Hermione ran down the stars, she had to find 3rd year Ginny, she had to tell her that what she wanted the most in the world was going to happen. Ginny can keep secrets, right?
N/A: So what do you think? Your opinion is very important to me!
