Chapter Nine
Hermione had anticipated their meeting all day, and now she was ready. She had used a straightening potion on her hair, and a bit of makeup on her eyes.
Now, she walked down the long hall toward the exit by the lake. She walked out into the dark of night, catching the north breeze. She was glad she had worn heavier robes.
She slowly sauntered down toward the tree. Through the dark, she saw a figure standing underneath it. She was sure it was Harry, until she got about ten feet closer, and saw the womanly shape and fiery red hair. She immediately recognized Ginny. She walked up beside her.
"Her," Hermione said, starling Ginny, "sorry, didn't mean to scare you."
"Oh, it's fine…What're you doing here?" she replied.
"I was supposed to meet Harry here at seven…I thought I'd get here a bit early," said Hermione.
"You're kidding!" exclaimed Ginny. "I'm supposed to be meeting Draco here at seven!"
"Oh, really?" replied Hermione. "How neat."
So together they waited on their dates. The first to show up was Harry. He came up and wrapped his arms around Hermione, saying hello to both of them.. They explained how Ginny was supposed to meet Draco here at seven, too. He looked a bit surprised. As Harry and Hermione found a branch up in the tree to sit on and cuddle, Ginny drifted off to the other side of the lake.
