"Okay, so what's the main ingredient in a Memory Erasing Potion?" Harry asked.
"Er... Let me think a moment... It's...Er...A feather of a Brazilian Dove?" she stammered.
"Yes! Good job! Let's see... Do you put the toads' warts in before or after the petals of a rose in the Invisible Ink Potion?" he continued.
"I think you put the toads' warts in before the rose petals," she answered.
"Good! You're doing much better, but I think we need to stop for now, it's getting late," he said.
"Oh! It's almost midnight! Serena is going to kill me! She's on night duty tonight, and she can't sleep until everyone's in their rooms!" Ginny responded grabbing Harry's wrist, and they rushed back to Gryffindor Tower.

Ron could hear Harry shuffling into bed. 'Where the hell has he been?' he thought. Time was passing by very slowly until Ron was to leave to meet his admirer. He decided to leave at 12:30. It was currently 12:04. Ron worried that Harry might not be asleep by the time he had to leave. 'I don't care if he's guarding the door, it's none of his business where I go anyway,' he decided.

Ginny clambered into her bed as quietly as she could. Serena had already fallen asleep, and Ginny knew that if she woke her, she would be in a lot of trouble. She couldn't sleep, so she reflected on what had just happened. 'Why didn't I just kiss him?' she wondered, 'Does he feel the same way about me?'.

Ron silently pushed his covers off of him, and crawled out of bed. He was, of course, trying to look as sexy as possible for his admirer. He was wearing the Gryffindor uniform, which consisted of khaki pants and a red t- shirt with the Gryffindor lion emblazed on the back. He tiptoed down the staircase and entered the now darkened common room.
"Who's there?" a voice whispered.
"Parvati?" Ron asked.
"Ron! Oh thank God I thought you were Hermione! She's on duty tonight, and I would be creamed if she knew I wasn't in bed yet!" she sighed with relief.
"Oh... Well... Bye then," Ron said, and turned to leave.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Parvati questioned, but Ron had already snuck out of the Fat Lady's Portrait.
He hoped that Filch wouldn't catch him, because he didn't have the usual cover of Harry's Invisibility Cloak. He didn't dare ask Harry to borrow it either, because then he'd have to explain the note and he'd also have to talk things through with him. 'It's all his bloody fault anyway, why should I have to apologize?' he thought.
Before he knew it, Ron was standing in front of the entrance to the top of the astronomy tower, hesitant to enter. 'What if this is all a cruel joke?' he wondered, almost turning to retreat to his dorm. His body, however, betrayed his mind, and he turned the doorknob, entering the pitch black Tower. He lowered himself to sit on a dark blue poufy couch.He looked down at his wizards' watch, which told him that he was 6 minutes early. Maybe he could see his admirer before they saw him.
"Lumos" he muttered, and a ray of bright light erupted from his wand, so that he could see a couple feet in front of him.
"I hoped you would come," mumbled a strangely familiar voice, but before Ron could point his wand in the direction of the sound, the same voice whispered, "Lumos outus", and the room was black again.
"Who are you?" he asked, his voice had an odd quiver of excitement to it. He then felt someone sit down beside him, and then a delicate hand was placed on his knee. Ron put his hand out, to feel where the person was, and he felt the smooth skin of someone's shoulder. He felt the person shiver, and before he knew what was happening, the hand that was on his knee moved to his chin, and soft lips were on his. He still didn't know who it was, but he'd never been kissed before, so he kissed back. He tasted a hint of cherries on the lips of the person kissing him. He was about to wrap his hand around the person's neck, when they pulled away.
"I'm sorry," they whispered, and the door to the Tower was flung open, and then person dashed out.
"Wait!" Ron yelled, and he ran out after them. As soon as he whipped around the door, he saw the person slip into the shadows. He saw a sliver of a red and gold miniskirt-- the bottom of the girls' Gryffindor uniform. Ron realized that he'd have to follow her to figure out who she was, so he began to sprint at full speed.
~*~
Harry woke with a start.
"Ron?" he asked. There was no answer.
He looked at his clock; it was 1:16 in the morning. Harry slowly snuck to the door, and descended the boys' staircase. He padded along the carpet of the common room, and reached the foot of the girls' staircase. He climbed to the very top and creaked open the door. He then tiptoed to the foot of Hermione's bed, and gently removed the covers.
"Hermione, wake up," he whispered.
"Mmmph," she mumbled.
"It's Ron, he's not in his bed, and I don't know where he went," he said.
Hermione suddenly shot up, and gave Harry a worried expression. She stood up and turned on her lamp, looking wildly around the dormitory. Parvati and Lavender were gone. Hermione shooed Harry outside of the dorm.
"I'll be right there," she hissed, and the door slammed.
