After the dance, Harry sat in the commonroom, his mind blank. Ron was furious with himself and completely forgot about sending the owl. Harry watched as Ginny, still in her dress robes, came down from the girls dorms and leaned against the wall.

"Why did you do it?" he asked. Ginny shook her head silently and melted to the ground.

"Jealousy? So you would think twice about not asking me?"

"I,uh..."

Ginny gave a short laugh. "Stupid of me, really, to think you would ask me."

"I would have."

Ginny smiled. "Really?"

"Yes. It's just- well, I don't know what's stopping me. Maybe because you could be taken away from me by some other boy so easily."

"Not going to happen."

"Then I don't know."

Ginny walked over and sat next to him.

Harry looked at her. "May I have this dance?"

Ginny got up, curtsied, and Harry whisked her around the commonroom to no music. Ginny rested her head on his shoulder and hummed the music that Cinderella had when she was dancing with the prince.

"My Prince." she whispered.

"My Princess."

Harry woke up the next morning to the drone of voices coming from the common room, as it was Christams vacation. He dressed quickly and ran downstairs to see Ron and Hermione. They were chatting with Ginny at a table, Ron playing Chess with her. Harry smiled at them and ran over.

"Hey, Harry." Ron said looking up.

"Hello." he said to the group. Ginny blushed like her usual self.

"Hi." she said shly as Harry sat next to her. "Rook to e-6. Huzzah! Got your bishop!"

Ron shook his head. "Not possible. How? You BEAT me!" he said, noticing a checkmate.

"Ooh, really? I did! Oh, yea!"

Ron grumbled, then grinned. "No, wait, you didn't." He moved a piece and won.

"Oh, fiddle sticks." Ginny said, snapping, and then looked around.

"Nothing to do."

"Hmm, there isn't is there?" Hermione said, looking up from Beaxbaton, A Biography.

Fred and George ran down the stairs from their dorms in winter clothing. "SNOW BALL FIGHT!"

The house cheered and went to get into their winter things.

"Ow, Fred, that hurt!" Ginny called.

"It was supposed to, half-pint!"

Ginny magicked a snowball to hit him in the stomach.

"Ouch!"

Then, a splatter of snow appeared on her robes. "Hey, who threw-"

She turned around to see Harry standing there with a broad grin.

"Oh, you!" She quickly made and threw several snowballs at him.

"Hey!" he said, and did the same. "Oh, I can't see. Glasses, whiteness..." Then he felt breath on his face.

Ginny tackled him into a snowbank.

"Not. Fair!" he breathed. He wiped his glasses and realized that Ginny was still on him.

He looked at her. "Hey."

"Hey."

And then, they kissed.

"Ooooooooooooooh!" said the rest of the Gryffindors. The couple blushed.

Ron stood shocked. "I told you not to lay a hand on-" And Hermione hit him with a snowball.

"Deal with it."

Ron, stunned, was still for a second, and then he laughed jovially. "My own girlfiend..."

"I never said I was your girlfriend."

"Well..." Ron stuttered.

"Oh, fine." she said with a warm smile

He hugged her round the middle and lifted her up.

The Gryffindors awed this time.

"Oh, bloody hell! Now everyone's all mushy!" a Weasly twin said with sarcasm.

"Shut up, you big oaf." Alicia Spinnet said, whacking him with a snowball.

The snowball fight continued until lunch, when they all went in for food.

Ginny puttered around with an old Discman that Hermione gave her. She had taken it apart and was figuring out how to magic the batteries right.

"Ummm, let me think...Oh, right!" She tapped them twice. They glowed for a few seconds, then went back to normal. She assembled the Discman again and put the batteries in. From teh way the Discman looekd now, it was obviously magicked, with sparkling buttons all over the cover, along with a screen. Ginny popped in a magical C.D. from The Weird Sisters.

"Oh, I love this song." she said, bopping her head. She hummed along with the music.

Harry sat next to her, his homework in his lap. "Remind me why Snape gave us extra Potions homework?"

"Oh, Potions? Thats EASY." Ginny said, stopping her music and taking off her headphones. "Lets see. What are you doing?"

"Draft of the Living dead."

"Two ingredients. Asphobel and Wolfsbane, I believe. Simple but deadly. First year stuff. Gave it to Colin, once." she said.

"How do you remember all of it?" Harry asked. "It's impossible. Root of Asphodel does this, Porcupine Qull does this. You know what? I don't care about Potions, when is there going to be a subject on how to remember things?"

"You remember your name and some of your lessons, therefore, you are a wizard." Ginny said with a flick of her wrist.

Harry threw his head back and laughed.

"Mmm, I love it when you laugh." Ginny said. Her back was on his side, his arm around her shoulder. Her school things and her Discman were in her lap.

"I love it when you talk." he said, kissing her lightly.

"Oh, get a room." Katie Bell said with vigor. She scribbled something on a piece of parchment and shut her book.

Hermione, still reading Beauxbaton, A Biography, looked over the top of her book. "Did you know that Beauxbaton has a worldwide record for being the school with the most half veelas?"

"No, that I did not." Ron said, looking down at his Divinations. A look of recognition came over him. "Bloody hell, I understand it."

"What?" Harry said in monotone.

"I...get it. See, the twelth house of Mars is pain, and since Venus is in that house, the sign of Libra will have bad luck for a month! I get it!"

Harry looked at him blankly. "Bloody hell."
