A/n Hi-o Sorry all but no more pranks for this chapter. Why is it that whenever Ginny cries something terrible happens. Oh well. Ok. Chapter 14 will be pretty much prep for the Yule ball. Ready? Set? Go!

Chapter 14 The truth

Harry had Ginny in his lap on the couch. Hogsmeade was attacked. Fudge and Madame Rosmerta plus many others were dead. Neville was there with Professor Sprout buying some fertilizer. (This year's mandrake crop was nearly dead) Neville received an order of Merlin first class for protecting people and leading them to safety. He took down nearly 10 death eaters when it was all said and done. Moody received an order second class there as well. Neville was in for a shock when he found one of the Death Eaters stunned was Alicia Spinnet from the Quidditch team. (She was later found to be under imperius and was innocent.)

Many people cried but finally they got dressed and went down to the Ball. Harry was about to enter when Lavender came up. "We need to talk." She said

"No." Harry replied

"Why won't you talk to me?" She asked

"Because you are a cold hearted (word that rhymes with itch but harry said the real word) and cheated on me with Seamus."

"That is a lie." She said

"Really? Are you telling me I saw other people? Like yours and Seamus's identical twins?" Harry asked

"No. Come in here." she said. "I have a truth potion and Seamus."

"This will be amusing." Ginny said and nudged Harry in.

Lavender produced two vials of a water looking liquid which Harry recognized as Veritaserum.

"Once we take them you may ask us a few questions to test." Lav said then both her and Seamus chugged the Liquid.

Once they finished the potion Ginny stormed into a flurry of questions.

"Who do you love?"

"Harry."

"Who is the first non family person you kissed?"

"Pavarti."

"Why?"

"I was really bored and she wanted me."

"Are you a virgin?"

"No."

"Who was your first?"

"Draco."

"Did you cheat on Harry?"

"I don't know."

"What do you mean "I don't know?""

"I don't know where I was any of the times We were supposedley spotted."

"I don't remember either." Seamus piped in.

"What is the last thing you remember?"

"Taking a pepper up potion."

"I was there for one too." Seamus added

"Then suddenly I woke in my bed hours later." Lav finished

"Imperius potion!" Ginny gasped

"You mean we did?" Lav exclaimed

"Ewww!" Seamus added

Lav ran away screaming. Harry and Ginny entered the Hal together after a short talk and just as he was about to enter the hall he felt his scar burn.

YAY! Another chapter gone. Woohoo. Don't really feel like thanking anyone because after all these chapters, I still don't hav many reviews. I've seen one chapter stories that have more reviews!

Bye!
