Chapter 9: I'm Sorry
By Friday October 30th, not one person at Hogwarts could sit still, with the slight exception of Professor Snape, of course. There was a constant excited murmur filling the hall, especially when the students congregated together. The teachers had practically given up on trying to teach their last few lessons of the day, for none of their students would pay attention. Even their favorite student, Hermione Granger, would ramble on to others when they asked her about her upcoming date with Harry Potter.
In the Gryffindor common room, the girls were huddled on one side of the room discussing their dress robes and hair for the next evening. The guys were on the other side playing exploding snap and wizards chess, occasionally glancing over at the girls. For one group was just as excited as the other, but the boys weren't too keen on showing it.
Ginny slept in the fifth year girls dormitory that night. She was going to spend the majority of the next day with Hermione getting ready for Neville and Harry. It took forever for any of the girls to get to sleep, they stayed up talking about everything from their dates to Sunday morning breakfast. Ginny felt a little resentment toward Hermione for going with Harry and remained quiet most of the time.
"Alright Ginny." Hermione said taking a chunk of her crimson hair and beginning to braid it. "What's up?"
"What do you mean." Ginny answered, even though she knew she couldn't hide anything from Hermione.
"You know what I mean, Ginny. You've hardly said anything all night, and you're one of the most excited ones here!"
"I know, its just."
"Ginny, please tell me," Hermione stopped braiding her hair and took a seat next to her friend.
"Well, you know how I fell about Harry and everything." She paused.
"Yea.and?" Hermione asked, knowing exactly where this was going.
"I just can't help, well.you're going with him and I'm not." She blurted out before thinking.
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed. "That's what you're upset about?"
"Yea. Well. I don't know!" She tried to turn away from Hermione, arms crossed and a pout on her face.
"Ginny, look at me." She placed a hand on her shoulder. "Harry WAS going to ask you."
"He was?" She was almost in tears.
"Yes, we're going as friends, and he only asked me because you said yes to Neville!"
Ginny reached over and hugged Hermione. "I don't know what I was thinking Hermione, I mean, I know you'd never do anything like that to me on purpose. I'm sorry, sometimes I over react."
Hermione squeezed her young friend tighter before letting her go. "Come on, it's getting late. Let's go to bed."
Ginny followed Hermione to her bed and before she knew it, she was asleep and dreaming of Harry.
They awoke the next morning around 11am. They still had eight hours before the dance began. Hermione decided to take Ginny into the prefect's bathroom to shower so there wouldn't be as much commotion in the regular bathroom. All the girls met out in the great hall for breakfast and tried to eat something, despite the fluttering butterflies in their stomach.
"Hey guys!" Hermione exclaimed while stepping through the portrait hole. She had to stop herself from running into Ron and interrupting their game of exploding snap. For some reason the guys chose right in front of the door to play. She looked across the room and saw a bunch of first years sitting in guys' normal spot, giggling and running around each other. Hermione smiled to herself. "Mind if we join?" She asked.
"Sure, as long as you don't mind us kicking your butt!" Harry remarked, walking over to the girls. "Hey Ginny." He said, almost whispering.
"Hi." That dreamy look Ginny often got while looking at Harry Potter returned to her face. Hermione felt a twinge of guilt for taking her friends crush tonight, she made a mental note to let them spend as much time as they wanted to together this evening, she'd just hang out with Neville or something. At least one of them would get to have their perfect date. Hermione looked over to Ron and rolled her eyes. He was wrestling with Errol, trying to get whatever it was the owl was holding captive away from him.
Hermione walked over to Harry and Ginny, who were still staring at each other, to remind them about their game of exploding snap. Before she could say anything she felt a tap on her shoulder. "Hermione, can I talk to you?" Ron asked.
"Yea, sure." She followed him to the large couch in front of the fire.
He reached over and grabbed both of her hands. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry."
"For what?" She tried to make eye contact with him, but his eyes were glued to the floor.
"For being dumb and not asking you to go with me."
"Ron," She released her hands from his and reached up to touch his face. "Look at me. Its ok. I understand, you did what you had to do." Her hand fell back into her lap. "Don't let me stop you from having a wonderful time with Lavender. I think she really likes you. Besides, I'm sure I'll have a great time with Harry."
Ron shifted uncomfortably in his shoes at the mention of Lavender and Harry. "That's what I'm afraid of." He mumbled to himself.
"What?"
"Nothing. Just promise me you'll save me at least one dance ok?"
"OK Ron." She reached over and placed her arms around his neck. "I better go get Ginny so we can get ready. I'll see you tonight." She pulled her arms tighter around his neck and gave him a squeeze. Just as she was about to let go he slid his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to his chest. Hermione stood up on her tip toes and set her head over his shoulder, his arms reached all the way around her waist. She could feel his breath on her neck, goose bumps sprang up on her skin and she shuddered. Hermione's sudden movement shocked Ron, and he dropped her from his arms as if his he just realized what he was doing.
"Later." He said before walking away, leaving Hermione in her spot speechless. She ran up the staircase and into the fourth year girls dorm to get Ginny, both to help her get ready and to tell her what just took place between herself and Ginny's brother.
*A/N*~ Ok that was a necessary but unnecessary chapter. Actual content to come next chappy!!!! Speaking of content: I just finished this story completly (on paper) and i've decided that due to some *mature content* in later chpaters, im going to move it to pg-13 next time i update. So youll be able to find it there from now on, (thought i'd warn you incase anyone is actally following this story.)
Alright, wanna hear about my fiasco? You dont? Oh well, youre gonna hear it anyway. It starts out like this: I have blond hair, but ive been dying it brownish red for like a year or something, so i went to dye it DARK BROWN yesterday and now i have black hair. Which isnt a problem, or it wouldnt be if i wansnt really white with freckles. It looks in no way natural and my freckles, which used to e hardly noticeable, now shine like the stars. But i sucked it up and wore it down anyway. AND the worse part is, the underside of my hair actually dyed dark brown, so my hair's different colors. Im like a really mixed up clown or something. It doesnt matter though, cuz im gogin to fix it tonight. Ok thats my fiasco of the week (I hope).
