A/N: this chapter is one to close the year with. The first anniversary of me starting this story is tomorrow, new years. If you have any feedback to give me, please give it. I'm starting to run on empty. These days im just coming up with holiday themed chapters. Please give me more ideas. Thank you.
"I refuse to say it is new years until the ball drops in New York City."
"The what drops in where?"
"In the usa there is a tradition that this big glass ball drops in Times Square. It's a pretty big thing; it's on the news every year because everyone wants to see it. This year I want to watch it in person."
"So we are going to go to America just to see some stupid glass ball drop in some stupid city?"
"Yep."
"Cool, let's go."
When we got to Times Square, it was already pretty packed. Even though it was only eight.
"We would already be in the new year if we were at home."
"Stop complaining about the time difference you whiner. Look on the bright side, there is entertainment here."
"Watching prongs get drunk and do stupid stuff is better entertainment."
That went on for hours.
Then finally the countdown started.
TEN
"There is a tradition here, kiss when the New Year is reached."

We kissed very passionately at that point.
Funny thing is, we didn't even notice when we were on TV.
When we broke apart she smiled at me.
"Happy 1980."
There was a lot of stuff that happened in 1980. Harry was born, Ron weasley was born, big hairstyles were becoming popular, rock bands were getting even more awesome, and Jessie died that year.
I don't remember that year for any of those reasons though.
I remember 1980 as the first and last year I went to New York on new years to watch the ball drop.
And I also remember the next day as 1980.
All our friends teased us that we were snogging in front of a video camera for 3 minutes and didn't even notice.
