There were things Ginny knew she shouldn't do. She shouldn't eat anything Fred or George offered her. She shouldn't sneak out in the middle of the night and steal one of their brooms. And she most certainly shouldn't be sneaking out of Gryffindor Tower at midnight for any reason.

She smirked thinking about the reason she was currently sneaking out. She had learned a long time ago how to move silently. She walked down the hallway, her red hair swaying behind her. She was wearing a sea foam green colored dress.

Ginny glanced around the hall as she moved. Part of her wished she had remembered to borrow Harry's cloak, but alas, she had forgotten. Within minutes she was on the third floor. Having learned to time the stairs' movement had taken her a good portion of her second year, but it had been worth it.

"Three times," she muttered, walking past the spot three times, her mind whirling. What if this didn't work? What if he wasn't waiting for her? What if this was all some sick joke? Half of those thoughts disappeared when the door appeared. Taking a deep breath, she opened it and stared at the room in awe. Gone were the book cases and cushions from the D.A. Instead, the walls were decorated with tapestries depicting Gryffindor and Hufflepuff. The floor shone like onyx.

"Ginny! You made it. I was afraid you'd get caught or change your mind," Susan stated, crossing the room quickly. She was also wearing a dress, this one was a deep sapphire blue that complimented Ginny's dress nicely.

"I was afraid this would all turn out to be a joke," Ginny admitted, letting Susan lead her into the room.

"I would never do something like that," Susan promised. Ginny was about to answer when the entire room filled with the sound of music.

"I know it's not the same as the Yule Ball, but..."

"It's amazing," Ginny whispered. Susan nodded leading Ginny onto the dance floor. "Thank you, I never would have thought of all this."

"It's what people like me do for people like you," Susan said, giving Ginny a quick peck on the lips. Ginny felt her face flush.

"And it's one of the many reasons I love you," Ginny replied, kissing Susan back as the pair twirled around the dance floor Susan had imagined.
