Dreams of a Dragon
Chapter 2:
Ginny, I have something to tell you. What? Well. For so long I've wanted to tell you that I,I, I love you. Oh Harry. I think you already know this but I have always loved you from the day we met! Tap. Tap. Never mind the door. It's probably some late for the ball. I this dance to never end! It won't.
'Ginny! Ginny!'
'Wha! Where's Harry?' asked a very confused, very wet Ginny. 'Oy! Who wet-'
'Sorry Gin. It's just that you looked like you had just passed away to heaven and beyond.'
'Well you didn't have to wet me!' cried an annoyed Ginny. 'You could have just shook me!'
'I did! Earth to Ginny! That's why I splashed water on you!' Hermione yelled in Ginny's face.'
'You're right. I didn't mean to startle you.' said Ginny reproachfully.
'Well, It's time to get up. Breakfast is almost over.'
'Alright. I'll be right down. See you later.' Ginny closed the door behind Hermione and glanced around the room to make sure that no one was watching her and changed into her favorite pair of flare jeans and with her best top and pulled her Hogwarts robes over them. She grabbed her hair brush whisked it through her hair, quickly pushed it out of her face and rushed out the door and running straight into, 'Harry!'
'Oh! Hi Ginny.' Where are you in such a rush for?' 'Well, I was just going down to breakfast. I only woke up 5 minutes ago.' 'You look alright if you only got up 5 minutes ago.'
'Thanks.' said Ginny shyly, turning scarlet at once. 'Um. I should be going down now.'
'Oh! Yea. Sorry. Well I'll see you later then.' 'Uh, yea.' Ginny raced off again before she could ump into anyone else. Suddenly she was starving.
'Hey! Ginny!' came Hermione's voice from halfway down the Gryffindor house table. Most of the food was gone. But there was still enough to fill her rumbling stomach. 'Are you sure that Harry asked me to the Ball?' 'Yes! Of course I'm sure! Why on earth would I be joking about this? cried Hermione. 'Well how are we going to meet up then? asked Ginny.
'Yea! That's right! He told me to tell you that he'll drop by your dormitory to get you around 7:25.'
'There's just one thing I have to ask you.' said Ginny quietly. 'What? Anything.' 'Well, you know how my parents aren't exactly, you know, poor anymore?' 'Yea...'
' Um. Yea, I was hoping you would come with me to Hogsmeade this weekend to help me pick out something to wear and, you know, help me with how I look.'
'Why are you asking?! Of course I'll help you! I mean. No offense or anything but you look a lot prettier now than you did when you first started here.' said Hermione.
' Yea. I know. I didn't exactly look like the beauty queen back then.'
'But you're almost there.' said Hermione hopefully. 'You're just trying to cheer me up again aren't you?' 'No! I'm completely serious! Once again!'
'Well. You still haven't told me who you're going with.' said Ginny.
'Oh, yea. Well, you know that new guy with those purple eyes? The one that came halfway through last year?'
'Yea. I think he's kind of cute. But not as good looking as Harry of course!' she added quickly.
'You could have just said yes' Hermione grumbled. 'Well, yea. He asked me last week.'
'Well that's great! I told you that you have guys chasing, or swarming as I put it after you!' (Note: In the last chap. all the characters belonged to JKRowling, but in this one there are a few differences!)
'They'll be "swarming after you once they realize they can't get me.'
'Never mind. Can we change the subject? Do you reckon lilac or turquoise would look better on me?' said Ginny quickly before Hermione could answer.
'I think lilac or just plain purple would look nice on you.'
'Well, I'll see you at lunch, or whatever.' said Hermione standing up. 'What do you have first?'
'Double Potions said Ginny with disgust.'
'I feel for you.' Hermione sympathized.
'See ya!'
'See ya!' answered Ginny and raced off with a piece of toast still in hand.
Maybe Hermione was right. A lot of boys seem to be looking at me lately. I hope I did my homework the right way. Ginny raced in the door straight after the last person puffed and red faced.
'Sit down.' said Snape's oily voice to the class. Silently everyone began unpacking his or her things. 'Today will be a theory lesson. Don't groan or you will write out twice your amount.'
'Ginny opened her book and stared in hatred at the back of Snape's oily head. Everything about Snape seemed to be oily. I hope his oil leaks into his brain and he drops dead because his empty head overflows.
Two days later...
'No. This one's too expensive as well.' Ginny moaned
'Well maybe this might be cheaper.' said Hermione pointing to an emerald green one.
'Actually ladies, I can give you a discount on the blue one you were just looking at.' said a young lady. 'Her deep blue eyes were exactly the same colour as the robes.
'Really? How much o a discount?'
'Well, I can make it down to half price if you like.' said the lady. 'I just need to make the waist more fitting. You have lovely skinny hips.'
'Thanks! Then I'll have enough to buy some accessories to go with it!'exclaimed Ginny excitedly. 'Are you sure it's alright?'
'Of course dear! For some reason I have a soft spot red heads.' said the lady.
'Well here's the money. 21 Galleons and 13 sickles was it?'
'Yes, it was dear.' Here. Just bare with me for a second while I make the adjustments.' she drew out a long thin wand and waved it at the dress. Instantly Ginny could tell that she had made it mush slimmer for her.
'Thanks again!'
'He you go dear! All wrapped and ready to wear. Your man will be very lucky.'
I'm sure he will be, once he realizes that I'm the only one for him. This ball will be one to remember...
Sorry. I couldn't wait for your reviews so I just uploaded this to it. Chapter 3 is coming soon. I have to finish my other story first.
