First of all thank you every one so much!!!

You have no idea how much I love reviews, they mean so much to me! I actually snuck to the computer room during my free period to check em' out.

Disclaimer: I bet you guessed this already, but none of it is mine. Original, huh?

A/N: this story is also going to have a bit of H/Hr stuff, they are already together. Oh and if any of you have any Ideas please send them to me, either in the review or you can send them to my e-mail.

"Tell me."

"No"

"Tell me"

"No"

"Come on, Harry tell me! It's not fair"

"No way, you can forget it" Harry said slightly amused.

"Well why not?"

"Cause it's a surprise Hermione, that's why."

"Well I don't like surprises anymore" Hermione pouted.

"It's your birthday so you are going to have to deal with it"

"Oh yea?"

"Yea." Harry said decidedly, then he suddenly started looking at her curiously "Why what are you planning Hermione"

"What if I kiss you?" Hermione paused for the effect, "Will you tell me then?"

"I guess we'll just have to wait and see eh?" Harry said clearly enjoying himself.

With that they started to reach for each other…

"Hey people! People! Get a room!"

They quickly parted away.

"Really Neville" Hermione said slightly teasing "you should talk, I've seen you and a certain Danielle preoccupied in a similar activity"

(A/N: hey dannie7 hope your reading this…)

"Yea well…" Neville said blushing.

"Anyway what did you want?" said Harry briskly.

"Oh, um… Ginny owled, she said the train would be at the station at one o'clock. I was kinda looking for Ron though."

"Don't worry we'll make sure he gets the message" said Hermione, nodding Neville to the door with her head.

"O.k, o.k! I get the message, I'm going," Neville said chuckling and started walking towards the door.

"Oh and don't forget my birthday party tomorrow… you'd better bring a present!!"

"Giiinnny, help me please I'm at loss. And DADA is your best subject".

"C'mon Laura, ask Nat. I have to do potions!"

"Nat's at her head girl meeting"

"Then ask Colin."

"But he doesn't explain as well as you do"

"I can't Laura, and don't think that flattery is going to get you anywhere."

"Oh well" Laura said quickly pushing her homework aside just as fast "at least I tried, it's the meaning that counts. Now to more interesting stuff. I'm going to Hogsmeade with William next week. H-"

"What, that's it?" said Ginny cutting in. "Your not doing anymore homework?"

"Nope, I told you it's the meaning that counts. Anyway back to what I was talking about, can you believe it!"

"You are so unbelievable you know," said Ginny shaking her head grinning.

"But you know you love me. What are you doing for Christmas"

"Well, well, well" pushing his way and sitting between Ginny and Laura, wrapping his hands around both their shoulders "What have we here eh? Two lovely ladies unaccompanied?"

"Get your hands off Paul" said Laura pushing his hands of her shoulder.

"Yea Paul, down boy!" said Ginny giggling.

"Is that so, care to tell me what you were thinking just before I came Miss Ginny" mocked Paul.

"Nothing in particular"

"Really, bet I could tickle it out of you!" and with that Paul started tickling her, an action that ended with Ginny writhing and laughing on the floor, Paul right after her.

"Please, please stop. My sides are hurting" Ginny managed insert between laughs.

"Well o.k." suddenly they noticed the akward position they were in and Paul scrambled off her.

"Hey Paul! Come over here for a sec," someone yelled from across the common room.

"Yea, well ...um… I have to go" and Paul ran across the room, his face a distinct shade of red.

"Someone has a crush, someone has a crush" Laura taunted in a sing-songy voice as Ginny climbed up to the sofa.

 "Oh shut up," said Ginny throwing a pillow playfully, yet nonetheless her cheeks reddening as well.

"Yeah, yeah. What are you doing at Christmas?"

"Well lets see" said Ginny. "There's Hermione's birthday party the day after I come back. I'm gonna visit Bill in Egypt, and I guess I'm gonna spend the rest at home…"

"Backup, Hermione's party, any cute guys there?"

"I don't know, there might, some people are coming from her work, so who knows!"

"Well in that case," Laura said rising from the couch, "I believe a wardrobe inspection is required. Come on, up to the dorm!"

"It's amazing how you have no power for homework and yet you are willing to get up from the couch for this." Ginny said shaking her head unbelievingly.

"I'll take that as a compliment, regardless of what you really meant. Now come on," and with that Laura pulled Ginny up and dragged her to the dorm.

From then on, it was hours of standing in front of the mirror and trying out an array of outfits.

"What about this one?"

"Ginny Weasley! Take that of right now! You do not wear pink! Have I made myself clear! Now try this on."

"I don't want to wear black!"

"Why not?"

"Everyone always wear black!"

"You got a point there…"

And with that they continued.

At the end they settled on a strapy dark green dress that ended above the knee.

It doesn't look half bad thought Ginny as she surveyed herself in the mirror.

"And now for my personal favorite part, the hair & makeup time!" exclaimed Laura clapping her hands as if she had just found treasure.

Once they finished each girl began her packing for the next day.

I promise Draco will be here next chapter! Scouts honor!

But what do you think? Constructive criticism is welcome. Now review!

Bye.
