~Try Again~

Pam: Ok, you said my story sucked, so why did you read it? I'm a beginning writer and I'm doing this for fun, not to have people tell me I suck. If that's all you're going to do, don't review!

Kitty: Thank you so much for telling me how good my story is. ::cough::pam::cough It encourages me to write when people like you review, so please keep doing that!

Lumos Fawkes: Sorry if you think I was rude, but I was in a bad mood and desperate for reviews, so I put that last chapter(well kind of) in there.

Queen of Freaks: Thanks for the encouragement! And I've been in that kind of sugar high before too, isn't it so much fun? J

Genki: I know it was stupid (read Lumos Fawkes' answer) but thanks for telling me you liked the story!

Claire: Thanks for the review, I'll try to post quicker!

Okay, thanks to everyone who reviewed, but please no more flames because I'm not trying to write a Newberry Winner, just something that people can enjoy. If you don't like my writing, then don't read it, and if for some obscure reason you do, don't review just to put me down! If you can see I also took down my "Review" page. Sorry about even having that, as I said I was desperate and angry!

Chapter 7: Romance Blossoms

Hermione was in a good mood. Ron had asked her out! She still couldn't quite

believe it though, she wondered if it had been a dream. No, she thought, pinching herself.

It wasn't a dream. Ron Weasly had asked her out. All of a sudden she felt a light tap on

her shoulder. It was Ron. Without a word he put his mouth on hers and it seemed as if

time stood still. After a moment of bliss, she broke away.

"What's, ow!" Ron started to say, before he was pinched by Hermione, "What did

you do that for?"

"To make sute this is real," she said before kissing Ron again. Whenever she did

this, everything was perfect. Perfect, she thought, smiling blissfully, I'm the luckiest girl

in the world.

Ginny lay outside, looking at the stars. "It's a beautiful night," she whispered.

"And you're a beautiful girl," said a voice behind her. It was Harry.

"Hey Harry," Ginny said, smiling shyly at her recently acquired boyfriend, "What

are you doing out here?"

"I should ask you the same question," he replied, returning the smile.

"I couldn't sleep so I snuck out. And then," she was cut off as Harry's lips had

found her own. It was a perfect moment, the two were caught in an embrace and to them

there was only one other person in the world. Slowly, hesitantly Harry opened his mouth.

Ginny did the same and slid her tongue in. After standing there for a moment, Harry

pulled away.

"Lets go in, it's too late," he said.

Reluctantly Ginny agreed. They joined hands and walked back up to the castle,

content at last.

So how was it? I know, I know, too short, but I've mentioned many times before, length is not my strong point…It's my weak spot, actually. Oh well, please review, unless you plan on only flaming me!
