What If….

Harry Potter leaned against the side of the pavilion where was currently a dance going on. Presently, he was discussing "Operation: Metal Gear Solid" with Seamus and Dean (whom both insisted on the name). "Ok, Harry this is our simplest plan yet," said Seamus, pointing at a drawing of the pavilion floor. "When Lavender confronts you at the entrance, I will try and get her to talk to me instead. If that doesn't work, Dean, who so enthusiastically volunteered for the job, will make out with her, buying you a couple seconds." "Hey she's HOT!" said Dean in his defense. Harry laughed along with Seamus. He wondered what Dean and Seamus would say once Harry told them what was happening between himself and Ginny. He could picture it now. First they laugh. Then they laugh some more. Inhale. Laugh. Laugh. Realize they aren't joking. Stop laughing. Mock them. Laugh. Then carry on with whatever they were doing before; which is classic to Dean's and Seamus's attention span. Harry snapped back to earth when Ginny walked up and asked, "What I miss?" Dean put on a superior look and said, "Only our best plan to get Lavender away from Harry." Ginny put her hands on her hip and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"

Lavender was standing next to the front door, eyes sharp and neck pivoting. The group walked up and Lavender ran up to Harry. "Hi Harry, want to dance?" This was Seamus's moment to shine. "Hi Lavender. Long time no see. What's up?" Lavender pushed him with all her might and he had to grab the banister on the stairs to keep him from rolling down the stairs. That was Dean's cue. He walked up, put one hand on her face and kissed her. To there surprise, she didn't resist." "Well that was surprisingly easy. Shall we?" said Seamus rubbing his hands together. "Let's," said Ginny wrapping her arm around Harry's arm. While walking in there was a loud scream and a smack, a loud "Shit", all which meant that Lavender had realized it was Dean kissing her and not Harry.

Harry and Ginny had received many raised eyebrows while they were dancing. They were sitting at a table talking with Seamus and Dean (who was still rubbing his cheek and mumbling "fucking bitch") when Ginny's older brothers Ron, Fred, and George Weasley walked up to them. Ginny stood up and in a slightly annoyed voice said, "What do you want?" "Ginny, aren't you going to introduce us to your new boy friend?" remarked Fred. Ginny put on a thinking look and said, "Hmmm…. unless I am mistaken, I do believe you play with him on the Quidditch team. I suggest you leave if you want to remain capable of having kids." They all quickly shuffled away. Ginny had a reputation of…. how do we say…. Putting her money where her mouth is. Seamus slapped the table in mock realization "I get it now! You guys are going out!" Dean snorted into his soda. Ginny pouted, grabbed Harry, and began to dance. True to the history of this particular dance, Draco Malfoy was prepared to beat the hell out of however danced with Ginny. Today, Harry was the one who had been lucky enough to be the only person to dance with Ginny the entire night. That added a little spice to Malfoy's already fuming hatred of Harry. In the middle of a slow dance, Draco walked up to the dancing couple and separated the two. He shoved Harry and shouted, "What the fuck are you doing with my girl!" Harry put his hands in his pocket, and replied, "Yo no hablo ingles senor." Draco's face went crimson red as he tried to calm himself. "I will see you in the parking lot after the dance." Many people whispered around them as he walked away. Harry waved his hand in the air while saying "Adios senor." This was to much Seamus and Dean. Coke spewed out of Dean's nose as Seamus yelling "Holy shit that was funny." Although Ginny was laughing her head off, she managed to say, "Harry, the way you handle these things…" The group spent ten minuets trying to recover.

It was almost time to end when Ginny's oldest brother Bill, who happened to be the lead singer in the band, waved her on stage. Harry asked her what she was doing but she didn't reply. When she got on stage she said, "This is a song dedicated to the one I love. You know who you are. Yesterday I was looking back, trying to find what I felt when I first saw you. Instead I found a song.

Haven't we met
You're some kind of beautiful stranger
You could be good for me
I've had the taste for danger

If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Heaven forbid
I'll take my chance on a beautiful stranger

I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song


To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride



Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger

If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you


To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride



I looked into your eyes
And my world came tumbling down
You're the devil in disguise
That's why I'm singing this song to you

To know you is to love you
You're everywhere I go
And everybody knows

To love you is to be part of you
I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

I've paid for you with tears
And swallowed all my pride

Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger
Da-da-da-dum da-dum da-dum da da da-da dum
Beautiful stranger

If I'm smart then I'll run away
But I'm not so I guess I'll stay
Haven't you heard
I fell in love with a beautiful stranger

I looked into your face
My heart was dancing all over the place
I'd like to change my point of view
If I could just forget about you

Ginny almost fainted from the effort required to sing it but it was worth it to see the look on Harry's face. Harry then walked by her as she walked down the stairs. Ginny felt a little rejected but then she realized what he was about to do. He was going to do what not one guy in the room was prepared to do.

"Well Ginny, I guess great minds do think alike."

Dead from all the loneliness
And this is how I feel
Understanding everything has never been my deal
Maybe you have crossed my path
To live inside of me
Or maybe you're the reason why
I'm losing all my decency

Cause I believe that you and me
We could be so...
Happy and free
Inside a world of misery
And I believe that you and me
We could be so...
Inside of you, inside of me
Cause this could be the one

This could be the one

I've been lookin'
I've been lookin' for my Mrs Right
But she don't exist
Chemistry is everything
And we're anything but this
Maybe I have crossed your path
And swept you off your feet
Or maybe I'm the reason why you cry at night
Before you sleep

Cause I believe that you and me
We could be so...
Happy and free
Inside a world of misery
And I believe that you and me
We could be so...
Inside of you, inside of me
Cause this could be the one

This could be the one

But what do you think?
We could give it a try
Cause you never know
Maybe we could be soul mates
But maybe not
But maybe so
If you never try
Then you'll never know
The grass could be greener
And it will always be greener on the other side
But you.. just never know
This could be the one

I do believe that you and me
We could be so...
Happy and free
Inside a world of misery
And I believe that you and me
We could be so...
Inside of you, inside of me
Cause this could be the one

This could be the one

But maybe so

But maybe not
Who knows?

Ginny stood stunned at what Harry had done. It was the most romantic thing she had ever witness. She spent the rest of the night in Harry's arms, dancing. She had received 387 dirty looks from girls(Lavender had smacked her and yelled "You stay away from him bitch,") who had been quite pissed at the arrangement of the new couple, but she didn't care. She loved Harry and Harry loved her back. That was all that mattered.

A/N: What do you think huh. Review please. And a little something you should know. The next chapter may have an original character or two. I am sorry and your welcome. I couldn't help myself. Oh and those are two of my favorite songs. REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW
