A.N. Thanks for reviewing. I own not the characters, only the storyline. I do
have a sequel being written right now, seeing as how this the last chapter.
I am seeing the movie again in two days and thank god because I was going
through withdrawl. To think, my twins had to go days on screen without me
watching them. *WIPES DROOL OFF OF CHIN* On to the story.



The Yule Ball

Harry looked at himself in the mirror. He really didn't want to be going, but Ron had convinced him he should. Harry was wearing robes of dark green
velvet with big billowy sleeves. It had sparkling emeralds at the cuffs for buttons. Ron walked into the dormitory. He was wearing some worn out satin robes that weren't quite as old as old as last years. They were royal blue and had narrow sleeves that sussurated whenever he moved.

"Time to meet Lavendar and Ginny," Ron said. He looked surprisingly happy.

"Yeah," Harry said. They hadn't mentioned Fred and Harry liking him for the last few days, by request of Harry. But he thought about him all the time. He dreamed about him, and saw him everywhere he looked. He had eneded up alone with him one time earlier that day. He was looking for George, Angelina wanted to talk to him, But when he entered the room Fred, George, Lee, and two others slept was empty. As Harry turned to leave the room, Fred camein. He had a towel around his hips and his hair was wet. They saw each other and turned red. Fred looked away and walked to his dresser, attempting to get some clothes while holding the towel and talk to Harry, calmly.

"Hi. What are you doing here?" Fred asked. Harry's mouth was open and he was staring at Fred's sides and chest.

"Looking......for George," he finally managed.

"I think he went to find Proffessor Snape. Worried adout an assignment due next term," Fred said and turned to him. Harry tore his eyes off the lovely sight in front of him and swallowed.

"Oh. I'll tell Angelina that. She was looking for him," Harry said. He turned and walked away.

"Bye Harry," he heard Fred's voice drift to him from the room. Harry stopped for a second, then kept on walking. Harry was snapped back to reality when he heard Ginny talking to him.

"Harry? Hello?" she said and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Oh! Yes? he asked. He realized he had walked in a daze down to the entrance of the great hall with Ron.

"Nothing, you just looked....distracted," she said.Harry hadn't even noticed Ginny. She looked beautiful. She had her hair up in a bun, except for two strands of hair she curled to frame her face. She was wearing teal robes with a diamond ring and barrette borrowed from Hermione. Ron was talking to Lavendar, who was wearing shocking neon pink robes, which clashed horribly with Ron's hair.

He saw George in blood red robes with Angelina on his arm. She was wearing silk aqua robes. Hermione looked even better then she had last year. Her hair was long and straight and looked lighter. She had violet eyeshadow and light purple lipstick on. She wore a silver necklace with Amethysts. She donned airy robes of lavendar silk.

A couple of feet behind her was Fred. He seemed to glow he looked so beautiful. He wore pure white flowing robes and exuded an angelic image. He had what looked like silver glitter in his hair. It caught the light and shone. Harry almost swooned looking at him.


"Hello everybody," George said. Ron and Hermione kept giving each other looks. George saw fred smile when he saw Harry. He was happy that his twins facade of being endlessly happy would soon become real. When fred and Harry finally got together, things would be right.





Slow music was playing. Hermione, fred, George, Angelina, Harry, Ginny, Lavendar, and Ron were all siting at a table.

"Let's dance," Ginny said. Fred and Harry were sitting next to each other laughing and joking.

"Okay, Harry said. They got up and walked to the dance floor. She put her head on her shoulder. They danced for two more songs. Then, Harry realized Fred and Hermione were dancng too.. harry kept his eyes on them a they glided. He saw a glimpse of fred's face. His eyes were closed and his mouth was in a small smile. He opened his eyes slowly and smiled shyly at Harry when their gazes met. A pink tint could be found on his cheeks. Harry's face took on the same look. Then the song was over. Faster music started. Ginny and Harry went back to the table. Fred and Hermione came back in a little while, fred lookign extremely nervous.

"Lavendar, lets go talk to Neville," Ron suggested. She nodded in agreement.

"We'll come too!" Hermione chirped and pulled Ginny along with her.
George and Angelina were talking. This left Fred and Harry alone.

"Umm, Harry could I talk to you?" Fred asked in a low voice.




"What did you say? Is he going to tell him?" Ron asked.

"What? What's going on?" Ginny asked.

"Ginny, Lavendar, well, Fred and Harry like each other. And I wouldn't be surpised for them to be dating by the time we get to the table," Hermione said.

"So he is! He's going to tell him!," Ron said. Ginny and Lavendar looked confused still. Ron told the edited version. Lavendar looked surprised. Then looked at Ginny.

"This is great. Now we can be together," Ginny said and moved to kiss her. Lavendar pulled away.

"Ron, I'm sorry, but I like Ginny. This date hasn't exactly given me the impression you're in love with me or something," Lavendar said to Ron. he looked amused.

"No, not at all. Have fun you two!" Ron said as they walked away hand in hand after kissing.

"So, Ginny and Lavendar, Angelina and George, hopefully Fred and Harry. It seems we are the only ones left alone," Hermione said.

"Hermione! i must sayd, I'm shocked!" Ron said. They were both smiling.

"I kno-," Hermione was in the middle of a sentence, When Ron kissed her. She responded immediately. They stood there kissing for a minute when Prof. Snape came by.


"Granger, Weasley, break it up," he said with a scowl. Hermione and Ron did, but still held each other at arms length. When Snape passed they laughed, Kissed again and walkee back to the table. they saw Harry and Fred sitting at the table. Both were turned to each other and one of Harry's hands was on the table. Fred's hands were on top of it. They were talking and didn't seem to notice George and Angelina on the other side of the table looking at them. They didn't notice the people passing by them watching them with wide eyes. They didn't notice Ron and Hermione walking up behind them. They seemed completely focused on each other as they leaned forward and kissed.



A Few Minutes Earlier


"Yeah," Harry answered Fred.

"This is really embarrassing, but I have to tell you something,"Fred said. He turned in his seat, as did Harry, to have full eyes contact.

"Go on. You don't have to be afraid. You can say anything," harry said trying to smile encouragingly. He saw fred's lower lip quiver and had and almost uncontrollable urge to grab him and kiss him and touch him all over. He flushed and felt it ebb and was happy it didn't get any stronger, he wouldn't have been able to make it.

"I know. I feel really comfortable around you. Good friends like you don't come around too often Harry," Fred aid. Harry's ballon of happiness deflated some. A friend, only a friend, Harry's mind chanted for a few moments of ackward silence.

"And that's part of the reason i like you so much," Fred said. Harry's heart stopped, then started again.

"Wha- What? he said choking on the word during his first effort. Fred smiled a pinch and pulled one of Hary's hands from the nervous jumble of both of them. He flattend it on the table and put his hand over Harry's. Harry shivered and looked into Fred's eyes.

"I like you, Harry. As more than a friend. how about you?" Fred asked. Everything melted away, except for each other and the love for Fred that was welling inside of Harry.

"Me too. I like you too," was all Harry could utter. Fred leaned towards hima nd kissed him. Fred felt the sensual lips on his, and the exquisite texture of Harry's tongue against his and felt like he was in heaven.

When they finally pulled away, they could hear George and Angelina laughing. They turned to them.

"What a cute couple! Right Angelina?" George asked. She nodded. They only now noticed the almost quiet room all staring at them. Hermione and Ron were right behind them. They looked quite happy.

"What happened to you two?" Fred asked.

"Well, Lavendar and Ginny ran off together, holding hands, and we realized we were being left out so we're trying each other out on a test date tonight," Ron said. "Actually, I assumed we'd be left alone if you two got together finally."

"You knew!?" Fred and Harry exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah, Ron, George and I all figured it out. You both like each other. It was taking so long I was going to just tell both of you and have it done with," Hermione said. Everyone laughed. Another slow song started. Fred stood up.

"Would you like to dance," he asked Harry.

"Of course," he replied and got up and walked to the dance floor with Fred.


Lost in twilight, the memories
Precious moments, you and me
We've been old friends, all through the years
Picture postcards, sharing tears


What's in our hearts, there's never time, to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
I've seen your city lights
As I walk away
Why can't this night...go on forever


Without love, we won't survive
Run together, we rule the night
Tell me secrets, oh that make you cry
Where's the laughter, we gotta try


What's in our hearts, there's never time to say
Need you tonight, lover don't fade away
Like a photograph
That time won't erase
Why can't this night...go on forever
Go on forever and ever...ever and ever


Harry rested his head on Fred's shoulder. Fred rested his cheek on the untidy raven colored hair. They rocked and swayed slowly to the music. They were holding each other so close they could feel the others hearbeat. Close enough, almost, to hear each others thoughts.
