The Yule Ball

(Last time Harry had asked Ginny to be his girlfriend & to go to the dance with him)

(In the Great Hall where the rest of the students are having lunch)

"I wonder what Harry's doing" Hermione said curiously

"I think I have an idea" Ron laughed

"Ohh! Tell me Ron! Come on!" Hermione pleaded

"Nope, you'll have to wait and find out" Ron said

"Ron! Your so mean!" Hermione giggled



(Lavender and Parvati giggled quietly)

"Could she be any more obvious" Lavender smiled

"Probably" Parvati giggled "But they are so cute about it"

"Yeah, I wish they would just both come to their senses" Lavender added with a slightly sadder tone

"Yeah.." Parvati agreed "I mean its rather obvious they both like each other..everyone but them see it"



(Back to the common room where Harry was holding Ginny)

"Harry..I hate to break this perfect moment, but we should probably head back to the Great Hall, before everyone gets suspicious" Ginny said

"Yeah, your right" Harry agreed

(They walked hand in hand back to the Great Hall, As they entered the Great Hall everyones attention flew to the door, they all stared at Ginny and Harry, Ginny blushed but Harry gripped her hand tighter with pride and smiled)


"So THAT'S what Harry was doing" Hermione stated

"Aww! That's so cute! I bet Ginnys floating cause shes so happy" Lavender smiled

"Look at her face, shes beaming with happiness this is probably like the best day of her life!" Parvati said



"Harry..everyones staring at us" Ginny said

"Its okay Ginny, they are just jealous of what I have, you" Harry whispered. He looked at Ginny, and saw her face drawing a red blush across her cheeks and he smiled


"If I only had the courage to ask Hermione out, we could be that happy" Ron thought

(Harry and Ginny took their seats at the Gryffindor table again, and smiled)

"So has what we all THINK happened, happened?" Hermione questioned

"Maybe…." Ginny said with a sly smile "It just depends on what your thinking" she added with a laugh

"Is it something, that a certain red haired girl said was never going to happen?" Lavender quickly added

"Yeah" Ginny said thinking about the conversation she had with the girls earlier

"Awwwwwwww!" Hermione, Lavender, and Parvati squealed

"That's so cute!" Hermione gushed

"Im so excited for ya Gin!" Parvati said

"Well, if anyone cares about my thoughts, im excited too" Harry joked


(The group of friends erupted into laughter at Harry's Comment)



(Later that evening, in the Gryffindor Common room, Harry, Ginny, Hermione, Ron, Lavender, and Parvati sat around the fire just talking and having fun. Harry and Ginny were sitting on the Loveseat, Lavender and Parvati were sitting in two smooshy arm chairs, Ron and Hermione sat on the floor next to each other)

"Oh! This is so boring! Something fun needs to happened" Parvati Said

(Hermione was staring at Ron, and she just started laughing)

"Whats so bloody funnnny" Ron slurred out
"You are silly" Hermione giggled out

"Well, you have to have a reason why I'm so funny all of a sudden" Ron said staring at Hermione like she was nutters

"No I don't!" Hermione said and stuck her tounge out

"Gah! That's it!" Ron said "I cant take it anymore" Ron leaned over to Hermione, it looked like he was going to kiss her but at the last second, he pulled back "Harry! Can I talk to you a second?"

"Yeah, sure" Harry relucently got up from his spot and followed Ron up to the boys dormitory

"Cripes! What was I thinking! I almost kissed her!" Ron yelled as quietly as he could (a/n: which wasn't very quiet)

"Would that really have been all that bad?" Harry questioned

"No! I would have loved it! Its just.." Ron trailed off

"Just what Ron?" Harry said

"Its just..what if she would have gotten mad!" Ron yelled out

"I don't think she would have" Harry said with a softer voice


(The girls were talking when all of a sudden they heard yelling, and it was coming from the boys)

"I cant belive that! Ron almost kissed you 'Mione!!" Lavender gushed

"No..no he didn't, he just..-" Hermione was cut off by yelling

"Cripes! What was I thinking! I almost kissed her!" They heard, Ron yell

They heard a muffled talking for a few seconds then they heard Ron Yell "Its just..what if she would have gotten mad!"

"Oh my gosh! Did you hear that 'Mione, he was going to kiss you! "Lavender screeched

"But he didn't because he thought you would get mad!" Parvati added

(Hermione just sat there with a shocked look on her face)

"I cant belive this, well I can, it was obvious he liked you" Lavender said with excitement

"W-h-why did everyone but me know.." Hermione said with a dazed voice

"We told you a million gazillion times he liked you" Parvati said

"I've got to do something about this, cause its rather obvious that ron isn't going to" Hermione thought "I know, ill kiss him when he comes back, its worth a shot..right?" She thought to herself

(Just then the boys came out of the room, and walked back down to the girls, Hermione doing what her heart told her jumped up and ran to Ron)

"Ron..I….." Hermione began to say, but then decided it would be better not to say anything, she closed her eyes and titled her face into Ron's, and she got a rush of pure joy and happiness as her lips rested onto his.
