Chapter 4: Dancin' in the Rain
At Hogsmeade, bits of raindrops began falling. It was quite a surprise; no one was expecting it to rain on a bright sunny day like this one.
Everyone began heading back to the castle earlier than they normally would have done, after-all they didn't bring any raincoats or umbrellas with them.
Ginny was looking around for Harry, she dreamily watched him as he talked animatedly to Ron (he came out of the hospital-wing with 2 days after the fight with Draco which was 8 days ago).
But then when Ron stopped paying attention to Harry as he watched Hermione stride over to Draco and head back to school with him, Ginny saw Harry gazing at Cho (whom was hanging out with 7 of her friends).
Ginny was already planning her next move to get Harry, she was going to show him how fun, exciting and carefree she could be! That way he would be sure to notice her, plus, when she went with Maline to say "Hi" to him (and Hermione and RON) at Breakfast this morning she caught him eyeing her down to up, she blushed. (She really was starting to work on her looks, but her schoolwork was suffering!)
Ginny made sure that she (along with Maline) were walking in front of Harry and the group, so when they reached the school grounds (the rain drops were slightly increasing) Ginny stopped.
"Erm-Ginny? Aren't you gonna come in?" Ron asked, motioning at the Castle Entrance.
"What?" Ginny heartedly laughed, "How many times a year does it rain, Ron? Once! I wouldn't miss it for anything!"
She threw up her hands and touched rain, laughed, then pocked Ron on the shoulders and said, "Bet you can't catch me!!"
She teased him as she backed slowly away from him, allowing the raindrops to drench her hair and run down her face. It made her look really pretty.
"Ginny! This is serious," Ron protested, "You could get ill!"
A lot of the students stopped and were looking at them, no wander, their voices were loud.
Ginny laughed, "So what's a little fever? I could go up to the nurse; she'd give me a potion-and bam! I'm OK again!"
Maline was beginning to get the message, "Yeah, don't be such a spoil- sport, take advantage of the fun and worry later!"
Maline and Ginny grabbed hands and began dancing.
"Hey! This looks like fun!!"
"Yeah! Come on! Lets join them"
And in a couple of minutes, almost every one of the students began dancing, singing and playing around in the rain (with the exception of the Slytherins of course).
Ginny glanced at Harry, who looked at her and grinned. Then in order to impress him, she put a the volume-increase charm on her voice and shouted to everyone who stopped and listen,
"People! Repeat after me, ACCIO WELLIES!!"
Soon, colourful Wellington booties were zooming out of the castle and going to their owners, who immediately put them on and began splashing in the puddles (The first, second and third years couldn't perform the charm yet so they had to go up to the castle and get them).
From that moment on, Ginny Weasley became a socialized popular person. Especially with Harry, who seems distracted from Cho and joined in the rain fun.
Some old girls didn't want to ruin their hairstyles or makeup and got raincoats or rain-hats to wear. Shameless couples (yeah, Draco and Hermione were one of them) began snogging on the grounds as the rain poured all over them.
The prefects weren't too happy; they had been unsuccessful at trying to get the students to go back up to the castle where they'd be safe from catching an illness.
At a shaded area of the school-grounds, a very grumpy and dry Cho sat and shot eye daggers at Harry and Ginny's direction, whom were both joking around and goofing up because of some silly rain.
"Um, Cho?" said one of her friends, who was looking eagerly at the commotion. "It's really tempting to go be part of the fun. Can I go join them?"
"No one's stopping you from acting like a baby!" Cho snapped, it was unlike her to act this bossy and grumpy. But she had seen through Ginny's motives and realized that she too, was after Harry. But Cho wasn't going to follow Ginny's stupid league of the rain schemes.
Cho looked around her, tearing her eyes away from Harry and Ginny (who were the center of the attention). All she had with her were 2 of her most loyal friends! It was an outrage! She normally wouldn't even go to the bathroom without having at least 5 or 6 friends with her.
"Ginny!" Cho thought, a mad glint in her eyes. "First you try and take Harry, and now my friends! I will get my revenge! Just you wait and see!"
I'm SOOOO sorry you guys, but I had a chapter mix-up and had to delete the story and my previous three reviews from 3 wonderful reviewers. When I put the story back up again, I got 2 new reviews. Apologies to the past reviewers.
