Chapter 2

Ginny found Ron and Hermione in the common room, working. She flopped down across from them.

            "Hi, Ginny," Hermione smiled.

            "Hey," Ginny moped.

            "Ron, what're you doing?" Hermione asked.

            "Making up more lies for Proffessor Trelawney. Where's Harry when you need him? I need to see if he's going to be crushed by a shooting star this month."

Hermione and Ginny giggled.

            "I don't think you have to worry about something as far fetched as that," Hermione said.

            "Harry's with… he's with Cho," Ginny said quietly.

Ron and Hermione exchanged a look, and then looked back at Ginny.

            "Hey," Hermione said cheerfully. "We're having an open ball this year."

            "What's an open ball?" Ginny asked.

            "There's no age restriction on who we could ask," Hermione said with a wink.

Ginny blushed.

            "Who ya thinking of?" Ron prodded, smiling.

            "No one," Ginny replied quickly. "I… I have work to do," she said, and ran up the stairs to her dorm, blushing furiously.

            "Wow," Hermione said when Ginny was out of earshot. "She really likes Harry, huh?"

Ron nodded. "You should see her room. Tons and tons of pictures."

            "Poor thing," Hermione said. "Harry shouldn't be with Cho. Ron…"

            "She's my sister," Ron stated.

            "I know, but it's Harry! Ron, don't you trust Harry?"

            "Of course I trust Harry…" he said. "Why are you even asking?"

            "And wouldn't you feel better if it was Harry going out with Ginny instead of someone else?"

Ron made a face. "Not really…"

Hermione gave him a look.

            "Hermione, I'm seventeen years old, I'm too young for a stroke!" he declared.

Hermione couldn't help but giggle. "Think about it, Ron! Ginny LOVES Harry! Don't you see it?"

Ron sighed. "Maybe you're right…"

Hermione grinned. "I always am."
