A/N- I know it's been a while, but my plot bunny decided to go to the neighbors yard to steal some carrots, but he's back. Anyways I decided some things in the time I was away, but I hope you all dont get too mad at me for my next few chapters. I hope you guys like my new layout, and even though it will be more work my new minimum for this story will be 1000 words a chapter.

Chapter 8- The Announcement.

"What was all that about?" Ginny asked Harry after Hermione had left the dormitory. Harry shook his head,

"Just something that had happened a while ago. Remember the day on and Hermione almost hexed eachother?"

"Yeah." Ginny nodded her head not seeing where Harry was going with this. Her red locks bounced gently atop her head. Harry's glance lingered there a moment too long and he felt himself slowly growing red.

"Yeah, well Ron asked Hermione if she was serious with Krum, and that if she was he wouldn't bother her about it or anything anymore."

"And she said yes huh?" Ginny said slowly, cottoning on. Harry started talking again,

"Yeah, but Viktor dumped her about a month later, which brings us to this month. Honestly I don't like the fact that their arguments are somewhat mean now." Harry said. Ginny sat down on the bed, both her hands flatly on the bed behind her. She took a deep breath, her chest sticking out a little, no a LOT more than usual. Harry's glance shot there unintentionally, and he immediately adverted his eyes.

It's Ginny Weasley, get over it Potter, she's Ron's younger sister.

A voice in Harry's head had taken over. Harry started fidgeting as he thought about it, he was inchs, no millimeters away from kissing Ginny, but he could already taste he lips, smell her soft subtle skin, it was magificent, but at the same time appalling. Ginny herself wasn't appalling, no not by a long shot, but the thought of Ron, or red and George finding out about his feelings was.

What feelings? Who said you had feelings?

"Umm Ginny," Harry spoke again, he had just realized they had been staring at eachother for about a minute now, "I'm going to bed now, see you in the morning alright?" He smiled weakly, not actually wanting to go. Her face vaulted, but went back to normal immediately, you would barely be able to notice it. Harry did.

Around eleven Ron came into their dormitory, Seamus, Dean, and neville were already asleep. Ron came in grinning madly,

"Hey Harry."

"What?" He asked in a fake groggy voice,. If he had been up in his bed Ron might have been worried.

"I showed her, I showed her my . . . Sly." He finished, using his Animagi nickname. Harry shot up in the bed,

"But you said, we promised Ron." Harry said, Ron nodded,

"i know,but i wasn't about to go up to the girls dorm to find you, and I know Hermione would flip. She hates Britany and I don't see why. Anyway britany's one too, she's a Pink Farrel."

"That's cool, we have our very own Animagi club." Harry said, immediately looking around the room to make sure they were all asleep.

"Night Harry." Ron said, Harry replied the same and before he could ask Ron another question he heard the snores of his best friend.

Harry still couldn't sleep, and it was around one thirty. He slowly climbed out of bed and put his robes on. Harry reached into his trunk for his invisibility cloak, suddenly remembering he didn't have it.

"Well I am not about to sneak into the girl's dormitory." Harry mumbled to himself. He just needed to be careful. He was already well trained at it.

Harry slowly crept down the boys staircase and into the empty common room.

It's funny how my thoughts kept going back to Ginny all night isn't it? Sh!t I did it again. Why won't I stop?

Harry already knew the answer though, well atleast he thought he did. He liked Ginny, he liked Ginny Weasely, which wasn't exactly hard to cope with. The hard thing to cope with was her brothers finding out.

Harry left the common room through the portrait hole, looking out for any noise he decided he just needed to walk, walk and think,

yeah, think about Ginny The voice popped up again. It wouldn't stop.

You know you like her The voice in Harry's head said again, but no, he didn't like Ginny, he couldn't like Ginny. The kiss, that didn't happen was just a fluke. Harry was so caught up in Ginny that he didn't notice Filch and Mrs. Norris down the hallway until he got halfway down himself.

Quickly, Harry spun into an empty classroom, barely making out Filch's words, but apparently he was putting up a notice for Dumbledore. Slowly Harry poked his head out of the classroom, Filch ws walking his way!

"Maybe, or he probaly doesn't, but we did almost-" Harry heard another voice on the other sid eof him. Ginny Weasley, the same Ginny Weasley who had taken over his thoughts for the past twenty-four hours was walking straight toward him, and Filch! She was staring at the ground and seemingly unaware of the inevitable trouble she would be in if Harry didn't do something now. Quickly Harry grabbed Ginny by her waist and covered her mouth, silently pulling her into the classroom. She tried to scream but couldn't. Spinning her around he still held his hand over her mouth,

"Promise not to scream if I let go?" He asked looking into her eyes. They were so big, almost to the point you could get lost in their caramel colored beauty. Harry hadn;'t realized he still had his hand over her mouth when she nodded solemnly.

"What's going on?" She asked, Harry felt himself getting hot, staring at Ginny.

You like her, you like her The voice in his head said.

"Oh, umm Filch is right outside the door." He whispered, pointing toward the door they had just come to. Ginny nodded and walked over to the bed Harry had just noticed was in the room. Harry glanced over at her again, her hair was playfully bouncing as she laid on the bed.

"Come over here Harry." She said, patting the bed. He walkeed over slowly and sat down, glancing down at her lips. They were so soft, so succulent. He wanted them right then and there. Ginny was staring up at him too. The same glazed over look in her eyes. Slowly he moved in to kiss her. To brush his lips against th esoftness of hers. To taste her. She closed her eyes as did he.

Ron, Fred, George, Bill, Charlie, Percy

The voice in his head spoke and Harry pulled back again.

"Wonder what notice Filch put on the wall." Harry said getting up. Ginny looked down at the floor. Harry thought she was on verge of tears, but she brought her head up quickly in a face that Harry recognized as cheerful.

"Let's see."

"Wow Harry, there's going to be a Masquerade Ball." Ginny said. Harry groaned as the two looked at the notice. He hated balls
