*******************

"What're ye doin here," an angry Filch yelled at the group of teenagers. "It's past curfew!!" He narrowed his eyes to look at them all, so that he would be able to give them detention.

But they were to quick for him. Everyone had stood up, and was pushing their way to the door to escape as quickly as possible. Unfortunately for Filch, he was outnumbered, so all he could do, was stand there, fuming, and waving his broom at them to come back.

By now, the group had split up. Parvati, Lavander, and Neville had run to the left, and Draco, Harry, and Ginny had run to the right. They got away quickly enough, but since Seamus and Dean were the last ones to get out of the room, Filch had caught both of them. He was grinning maniacally, while dragging them to his office to assign their detentions. The two boys looked at each other, the expressions of fear still there, knowing that whatever punishment Filch cooked up would not be very pleasant.

Once far away, Parvati and Lavander decided that they might as well head up to the Gryffindor Tower, so Neville decided to tag along, having no where else to go.

He soon got bored of listening to the girls' "girl talk," and went off on his own towards the tower.

Meanwhile, Ginny was rolling her eyes at the two boys, who were, as usual, exchanging insults.

"Scarhead!"

"Ferret!"

"Wonder-boy!"

"At least I have friends!"

Harry had struck a nerve. But Draco wouldn't let it show. He narrowed his eyes, glared at Harry, and turned towards the Slytherin dungeons, leaving Harry and Ginny alone.

After several minutes of walking in utter silence, Ginny finally decided to break it.

"So that was a pretty fun game wasn't it, Harry," she asked, slightly blushing.

"Yeah."

"Funny isn't it, how we seemed to end up in the same place twice?"

"A bit, yeah."

Ginny sighed. "So. Do you want to head back to the Gryffindor Tower? We might be able to get some sleep in."

"Sure."

And so, they started started their trek up to the Gryffindor Tower in silence again.

As they were climbing the last flight of stairs, they came across Ron holding a crying Hermione, and trying to calm her down. Not wanting to interrupt them, Ginny nudged Harry with her elbow, and nodded her head to another staircase. Harry immediately understood, and the two set of to take a slightly longer way.

Again, they walked in silence, but this time, Harry broke it.

"So do I still have to do that Dare." he asked, blushing a bit.

Ginny grinned cheekily. "Of course you do!"

Harry grinned slightly, growing a bit redder while looking at Ginny. Ginny finally caught him staring at her, while he turned his head, pretending he hadn't been watching her.

After several moments of comfortable silence, the two started to talk at the same time.

"Do you think-"

"So Ginny would-"

They laughed, and Ginny said, "You go first."

Harry blushed some more, and suddenly became interested with his feet. "So um." He cleared his throat. "So Ginny, would you uh. Um. Well. Ginny, would you like to."

Ginny waited patiently, watching Harry, the boy she had loved since she first saw him, stuttering with his words. It was usually her who was stuttering around Harry, but this time, the tables had turned.

"What I'm trying to say is. Ginny, would you uh. Would you like to go to. To Hogsmeade with me." Harry ended, and snuck a glance at Ginny, who broke into a wide smile.

"Of course I'll go with you!" With that, Ginny leaned over to him, and hugged him. Seconds later, Harry returned the embrace, after the fact of acceptance finally came voer him.

Suddenly, they heard applause behind them. They turned to see who it was, and were greeted by the smirking faces of Lavander and Parvati.

"What. What are you doing here?!" Ginny asked, staring at them.

The two girls exchanged knowing glances, and looked at the Harry and Ginny again, who had begun to blush.

"Oh there's no need to blush," said Lavander.

"It was so obvious you two would get together," Parvati added.

"What are you talking about," Ginny asked.

"Well, first off, we saw it in the crystal ball," Lavander answered.

"That, and the fact that everyone knows you like him." Parvati supplied.

"But wh-" Harry began.

"We have our ways," Parvati added, cutting him off. With that, the two girls looked at each other, and ran up the stairs giggling.

Harry and Ginny watched them, blushing, and not looking at each other.

Finally, Harry said, "Race you!" And with that, he started to run up the stairs.

It took Ginny several moments to register what he had said, but no sooner had she caught up with him, that they had reached the Gryffindor Tower, where Parvati and Lavander were standing, whispering, and Neville was leaning against the wall, snoring slighty.

"Why don't you go in," Ginny asked, confused.

"Well, as you can see, that Fat Lady is gone." And indeed, the Fat Lady had left her portrait, leaving the group stranded outside until she returned.

So, Harry and Ginny sat down against the wall to wait with everyone else.
