Hermione awoke the next morning feeling in lots of pain. Her back was killing her. It was then she realized that she was not in bed but leaning against a tree by the lake next to George.
She stretched her hands when she noticed her watch. It read seven-thirty AM and the little date box on the corner read something she wasn't expecting.
"George! Wake up! We have a half an hour before classes start again! Its Monday!" She hissed in his ear. He woke with a start and grabbed the blanket they had been sitting on. Quickly they ran upstairs and into the common room. Ron was the only one there and seeing their rumpled hair and robes he jumped up and walked out quickly, an angry scowl on his face.
Hermione ignored him, only because she had to get dressed for classes. She ran upstairs into her dormitory and change quickly, brushing the comb through her hair. She ran down the stairs bumping into George on the way who was fixing the neck of his robes and they ran down to the Great Hall.
They stopped just before reaching the doors, and calmly tried to catch their breath. As soon as they did, they walked in. Hermione needed to talk with Ron so she sat between him and Harry. George, moved towards Fred.
"Good Morning Ron." Hermione said as calmly as she could. Ron didn't look up. He mumbled something that sounded like 'morning.'
"I need to talk to you." She said. He looked up at her, his lips forming a thin line and his eyes narrowed. He looked a lot like Mrs. Weasly when she was mad.
"About what?" He hissed, dangerously his cheeks reddening.
"Why we're angry at each other." She said back. Ron didn't say anything he pushed the food around on his plate and Hermione grew angrier by the second.
"Fine. You don't want to settle this." She said, picking up her bag and walking out towards her first glass, she was halfway out of the hall when she heard Ron calling her name and walking towards her.
She stopped as he caught up. Then they started walking together.
"Why?" Ron asked. Hermione was caught by surprised.
"Why what?" Hermione asked.
"Why did you run?" Ron asked his voice barely above a whisper. He was avoiding her eyes. His ears turned pink.
"Because I was scared. I was embarrassed. I didn't really expect you to kiss me in front of a bunch of people Ron!" She said, quickly. Some few tears threatening to spill. They turned into a classroom.
"Hermione, I didn't know what to do!" Ron said throwing his hands up in the air.
"You could have just asked me!" Hermione said exasperated. Ron stopped and looked at her.
"Your really going out with George?" He asked as if he were scared of the answer.
"Yes, I am. I'm going to the ball with him too." Hermione said. His shoulders fell.
"Fine. Congratulations." Ron muttered sitting down. Hermione didn't want to bring up another argument so she became quiet and they sat together in silence, waiting for the class to begin.

At the end of the day, Hermione found a note on her door again.
Be at the Charms classroom at 7:00 for our
final meeting. Tomorrow we shall start
decorating.
Hermione pulled the note off her door and crumpled it in her hand and threw it out. She had never gotten to tell her ideas but oh well, the ball would be great either way. She just wished she had added to it.
She walked into the classroom where Parvarti was doing makeup.
"Oh Hermione! I heard you were going with George! What a cute couple you two make!" Parvarti threw her arms around Hermione giving her a friendly hug.
"Oh - er thanks Parvarti." Hermione said to Parvarti. Parvarti let go of her and looked at her.
"Oh you must let me make you over! To celebrate you having a boyfriend." Parvarti said bringing Hermione to her vanity.
Hermione sat down. "You really don't have to.." Parvarti cut her off.
"And I won't take no for an answer." Parvarti smiled. Hermione mumbled something as Parvarti grabbed some big tube of gel and put it in her hair.
A half our later, Hermione looked completely different. Hermione had tamed Hermiones bushy hair and put it into a braid, she added lip gloss to her lips, eyeliner and eye shadow to her eyes and foundation with blush. Hermione was practically running to the door at the sight of the eyelash curler, but it didn't hurt. Hermione looked gorgeous. She didn't like it that much.
"Thank you Parvarti," Hermione said. Parvarti beamed.
"You look great Hermione. Now I'm going to dinner!" Parvarti said. Hermione followed her.
Ron, Harry, Fred and George were in the common room talking, Ron avoiding George. Everyone shutup when Hermione and Parvarti came downstairs. George stared in awe, Fred in amazement, Harry in great surprise and Ron, stood their staring. In awe, amazement and surprise. George walked over to her.
"You look...gorgeous." George said stumbling over words. He grabbed her hand and they walked out of the common room together.
*********
After dinner, after everyone had gotten over the shock of seeing the 'new' and 'temporary' Hermione, she walked with George to the meeting, hand in hand. Hermione grew to like George more and more each day. He was sweet and understanding. He listened to Hermione and comforted her, when she went crying to him about Ron, about her life. They quickly became each others everything.
When they arrived in the classroom, Parvarti and George were there waiting for them.
"Finally. Now, down to business." Fred said slapping his hands together.
During the meeting, they decided how they were going to cast spells over the Great Hall so no one would see the decorations if they peeked in. They had gotten all the supplies they needed.
"Halloween is two days away. Tomorrow we set up and we have a few hours before the dance to fix every thing. But there is one matter at hand we need to take care of. Everyone who contributed to the dance, will have their name announced and they are to dance with someone from their team. Now I have a date and obviously you and Hermione are going to dance and go together, but me and Parvarti will have to take time away from our dates to dance. Sound good?" Fred said, talking seriously. Parvarti smiled and nodded. "Good then, guess we're done."
Everyone nodded, picking up bits of paper and such. Hermione and George stayed behind.
"I want to check out where I found Lily's diary." She said. George stayed and watched her.
She tapped her wand along the bricks trying to remember which one it was.
Suddenly one of the bricks she knew wasn't the one where she found the diary, came loose and fell out.
Herman Reached inside and...
