It was Christmas Eve.Ina few hours the Christmas Ball would begin going from 7:00p.m. to 4:00a.m.Christmas Eve was also the dau of the Hogsmeade trip.Around 9:00 Harry, Ron, Ginny,and Hermione left for Hogsmeade.Harry and Ginny went to Sirius's while Ron and Hermione went to send an owl to Mr. adn Mrs. Weasley who were in Ireland visiting some cousins."So Sirius are you coming to the Ball tonight?"Harry asked."As a matter of fact I am going with Minerva McGonagall"Sirius stated.Ginny giggled thinking about it."So, Harry, Ginny, what time you going to be back in your common room?"Sirius asked hardly surpessing a grin."Well you know I guess around oh about 4:00"Harry said."What!?"Sirius said with fake alarm,"What're you two gonna do for an hour?Kiss?".At this Ginny and Harry both blushed."You take after your father Harry,"Sirius said hardly containing himself."Thats a compliment I hope,"Harry said.They talked a little while longer but then had to leave."We gotta go, Sirius,"Harry said glancing at his watch."Okay","Sirius said,"Are you and Ginny coming her on Christmas?" "Yes of course,"Ginny said."Bye Sirius!"Harry and Ginny said together."Come on let's get back before Ron comes looking for us,"Harry said."Yeah he would ballistic if he knew we left Hogsmeade and went to the common room alone!"Ginny exclaimed.Harry thought back to the first time Ron had walked in on him and Ginny making out.Ron had been furious, so had Fred and George.They threatened to hex Harry if he didn't stop.Finally Ginny had unleashed her temper upon them.They had run like rats being chased by mice.When Harry and Ginny arrived in the common room it was mysteriously empty."Hehehe the common room is empty!"Harry said grinning.He grabeed Ginny and pulled her onto his lap and started kissing.He was so busy he didn't notice the portrait open and Proffesor McGonagall come in."Ms Weasley could you please let Potter breathe,I need to talk to him"barked the voice of McGonagall."Don't worry I'll bring him back."P-pr-professor!"Harry said stammering."How long have you been standing there?" "Long enough to know that you two could win an award for holding your breath"she said."Please follow me Potter."
