Ch - 4 Harry's birthday party
"Almost finished !" Harry said trying unsuccessfully to tame his messy black hair .
"Trying to win a losing battle ,eh Harry ? "Ron asked good naturedly.Ron was adding his final touches and was looking really good wearing a black suit with a maroon tie.
"Ron ,how come you are wearing a maroon tie ,when you just loath the colour maroon?" Harry retorted .
Ron blushed and answered,"Umm ,it's because Mum said it goes perfectly with my hair as your green tie goes with your eyes. I agreed , as I want everthing perfect for your party ."
Harry didn't ask anymore questions though he felt that the answer he just now got from Ron wasn't the actual reason at all. He didn't have time to ponder about it because he was tensed .This was his first birthday party in his memory .He didn't know if his Mom and Dad had celebrated his birthday .They may have, but again he couldn't remember. He was a baby at that time .Without thinking he reached to touch the necklace and he saw it glowing golden.
Ron broke the moment by turning to him from the mirror where he was getting ready and said ," What are you doing Harry clutching your throat or something?"
Harry hastily replied,"Oh no just.......
Fortunately for Harry just then Fred and George broke into the room wearing identical bright green suits.They really looked like flashing neon signs.
"Harry how do you like our suits ?Aren't they glowing?" Fred asked.
"We thought black suits all around was boring so we charmed our suits to this wonderful and breathtaking colour "George added.
Harry replied promptly that both of them looked absolutely smashing.Ron looked as if he was going to burst out laughing.
"So now can we all go down?It's almost time ,isn't it?"Ron said turning their attention from their suits to the party.
"Yeah,ickle Ronniekins can't wait to go down and start munching"George answered.
" Oh ,Shut up you git!"Ron answered.
But Fred loudly cleared his voice and said ,"Harry we the Weasley twins invite you downstairs as the guests have already started filling in ."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As they proceeded downstairs ,they heard giggles coming from Ginny's room.It sounded as if someone was there but who ?They didn't have much time for their thoughts because soon Mr.Weasley called the twins to hurry downstairs . So all four made their way to the garden .Harry noticed the garden looking nice and trimmed.There was a huge table laiden with food and not to mention the famous wizard band "Symphony "performing some beautiful background music .
Harry noticed Mrs.Weasley dressed in a dark velvety muggle gown was busy welcoming guests .Mr.Weasley was popping here and there making sure everything was in proper order .The guests were mainly his well wishers who he knew, not strangers.
He saw Prof.Dumbledore with his moony spectacles laughing and talking with Remus , and--he couldn't believe his eyes a brown dog which was Snuffles or Sirius. It looked as if they were busy discussing about Hogwarts .Dumbledore was animatedly speaking when he saw Harry and the others entering the garden ,he waved at them and moved towards them.Remus and Sirius followed his lead.They wished Harry a Happy Birthday.Harry was thrilled at meeting them .
As Harry petted the dog , Prof.Dumbledore with a strange twinkle in his eyes gave a small gift-wrapped packet .Harry opened it .It was -- 'Sherbet lemon,'a muggle sweet.
He grinned at the old wizard and immediately offered the packet to all of them . Harry made sure each one of them took one after which he shove it into his pocket.
All of them were cheerful but he noted how tired they looked , as if they had not slept for days. Again ,he got the same old feeling that they weren't telling him something !!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Soon Bill ,Charlie and Percy apparated in the garden with three loud 'Plops!!' .They also were in muggle costume.As they saw him Bill and Charlie grinned and wished him a Happy and Merry Birthday.While Percy wished him and started talking about a report he has to draft on ' International Friendship between Wizarding Community!' Harry and Ron exchanged amused looks and tried their maximum not to laugh at Percy and his reports !
The twins were trying to play pranks on Percy who was completely oblivious about everything except for his conversation about the report. But as soon as they saw Mrs.Weasley coming towards them with softdrinks , they fled. exactly at that time Ron and Harry made their escape from Percy and his Reports! Soon they were lightly chatting sipping butterbeers,coke -whiz and so on.
In short, every one was enjoying themselves.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ron and Harry who were engaged in conversation with each other noticed two people coming towards them.It seemed as if they were late and were trying to reach the garden quickly but gracefully . It was quite dark so Ron and Harry took quite some time to really spot who those people were.As those two stepped into the lighted part , both Harry's and Ron's mouth fell wide open .They couldn't believe their eyes. Were those two -GINNY & HERMIONE or some angels?Both looked drop dead gorgeous .
Harry caught a brief glimpse of Ron's shocked expression and was glad that he had company.His thoughts went flying into hundreds of pieces thay conglomerated into a big lump in his throat.
He couldn't speak but Ron unknowingly voiced his thoughts and said,"Wow.....I mean nothing.Oh I mean, how are you Hermione? Hermione answered a bit stiffly that she was fine .By then Harry recovered and asked Hermione whether she came just now or before?
Like always when asked a question, Hermione gave a detailed description ans exact information..Ron noted mentally how nice she looked in that red teffeta and her hair was put in a french plait with a few curls left free .
While Hermione was answering Harry couldn't resist stealing glances at Ginny whose long auburn hair was let loose and was flying in the breeze.Her cream chiffon gown outlined her lithe figure .The gown shone in the light . She looked radiant . Similar thoughts were going on in Ron's head but he wasn't thinking of how his sister looked but how stunning Hermione looked.
Finally ,Hermione finished relating her journey by the Floo network and how she reached the burrow an hour ago but found that the boys were dressing and she didn't want to disturb them and so on.
She noticed Harry's and Ron's expression ,it looked as if both of them where lost in dreamland.So she said,"Ron!!Harry!!, Are you both listening to what I was saying ?" Both of them where suddenly transported back from their respective dreams and landed with a thud in front of Hermione gaze or more like a glare.
They both answered as quickly as they could," Oh..... Yes ofcourse!! Harry changed the subject by saying,"Thanks a lot for book,Hermione."
"My pleasure!"Hermione replied .
Ginny hadn't spoken a word because she was busy thinking . She had seen just now how her brother ,Ron was staring at Hermione. Many thoughts were passing through her head .They were 'How I should make Ron realise how much he cares for Hermione? Why is she so oblivious to his stare? Why don't they speak properly to each other ?She thinks his behaviour is confusing but for me it is clear as daylight that my brother is in love with he.Should I do something or should I wait? If I do something will it jeopardize my relationship with them. '
But soon her thoughts flew in another direction as she saw Harry was looking at her with a strange expression ,maybe he was thinking of her useless gift or about that dumping cake ceremony . All she could do now , was blush which she was already doing at the sight of him. He did look good with his black suit and green tie.
" Why I am thinking like that ? Stop it Ginny !!or you 'll turn permanent red.Now hold yourself properly." She remembered the conversation she had with Hermione while they were getting ready.
Flash back :
~~~~~~~~~
"Did you bring your gown Hermione?"
"Yes ,I'll show you .Wait a sec , let me search .It was my mum's she gave it to me.Here's it."
"Wow !It's beautiful even lovelier than the dress you wore for the Yule ball.You'll look really pretty."
"Thanks",Hermione replied shortly as if her mind was on something else.
Ginny continued,"Why don't I try some new hairstyle for you?"
She made Hermione sit in front of the big mirror as she tried different styles finally settling to do a french plait.While Hermione talked about her vacations and letter from Hogwarts , being a prefect ,books and so on .
Hermione suddenly asked her ,"How is Harry and ....Ron?" I think Ron is fine but I don't know whether Harry is really fine.You know he only came today."
Hermione saw Ginny was blushing and without thinking twice she asked her what had happened?Ginny then related about how she had to follow the Weasley tradition and dump a cake on Harry.Then she stopped on hearing someone giggle.
Ginny couldn't believe her ears,"Why are you giggling , Hermione ?Was it that funny ?" She was a bit frustrated at Hermione's reaction . She had thought atleast Hermione would sympathize for her bad luck .
But suddenly Hermione stopped her giggling as if sensing Ginny's feeling and said "So Ginny, you still have a crush on him,Don't you?" Her voice was serious and sounded more like as if she was making a statement rather than asking a question.
"I ,...I ...do not have a crush on him ,Hermione .The traces of that crush are wiped away from me long time ago ,though you know how the twins make fun of me about that to this day. Everyone thinks I am a silly girl having a crush on a hero 'The Great Harry Potter '.No one realises he is not another hero to me but my saviour ,my..my... own Hero .
The fact is that my feelings for him is not a crush or something childish as that.It's just simple like which has grown more into....into..love. It's him I love not his fame. I don't deny it began because of his fame as a crush but after the events which happened during my first year it automatically changed to something I,... can't get ever get over , something which I term as LOVE something which will be there in me till the day I die .
All these I have been waiting and I have almost lost hope especially if you consider last year's incident .Harry had asked Cho for the ball though she couldn't go with him but he did ask her first.I then understood he has feelings for someone else and chided myself for not getting over him .I wish them happiness but still ...still I won't be able to move on with my life.He'll be always there in me and all I wish is for a few pleasant memories of us that I can treasure and God I promise I won't ask for anything more....
H...h..He'll never see me as a person with my own individuality but always as Ron's little sister who blushes everytime he's around, who sent him that abominable singing valentine ..........Oh!Hermione I wish I could forget all this .I have never spoken so openly with another person . So, I ...Oh...."
Hermione who had been listening to the poor girl's sorrow without interupting her now said wanting to comfort her"Hushh,hush, Don't cry !Don't cry!! I am sure he'll see you someday and admire you for what you are !Compared to you ,my worries are nothing."
"You do know what Ron said to me during that ball...'about fraternising with the enemy'?"
"Yes ,I even heard both of you fighting in the common room that night since I had come back early for I couldn't stand there dancing with Neville who kept on stamping my foot" Ginny smiled thinking about this funny incident but she knew otherwise the ball was a painful reminder of what will never be ...The fulfillment of her Dreams!
" I never didn't notice you maybe because I was so involved in the argument. That brother of yours kept on blaming me about going with Krum for the ball.I am still confused why?? when he himself was always thinking of getting an autograph from Krum that he demands that I am not supposed to talk or go out with Krum. I wish he would tell me why just why???"Hermione stopped to get hold of herself.
Then she continued "Did you know during the holidays ,Ron sent me a letter forbading me from going to Bulgaria? I was so angry at him for that letter , I even planned to sent him a Howler.I wanted to scream some sense into him that Krum was a good friend of mine nothing more .But I then decided against it and sent a polite letter telling him to mind his own business, anyways I wasn't planning to go to Bulgaria because I wanted to visit my relatives in Wales.I had even told Krum on the last day of school that I wouldn't be coming."
" Why should I tell Ron everything ?Harry never asks me about it but Ron keeps on blabbering about it as if ....as if he..he ....i don't know just what!"Hemione raised her hand in an angry and sad gesture .
"Oops!!!,"looking at her watch" How long have we been talking ,the party is going to start within fifteen minutes.Ginny we both will wash our face and dress up.Come on ,let's forget our troubles and enjoy ourselves !
Ginny gave a watery smile and hurried to dress up .Both of them checked the mirror for any faults and encouraged each other again before leaving .
End if flashback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny was replaying the conversation she had earlier in her mind, when she heard Mrs.Weasley called to her to help lay the plates.So both she and Hermione went to help.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now Ron and Harry left alone got back their ability to speak and think properly.
Ron started,"Why didn't Mom tell me she had invited Hermione ?I wouldn't have made such a fool of myself in front of her,
staring at her like a gaping goat. I was really surprised Harry at seeing her here when I thought she was in Bulgaria with Vicky behind her treating her like a princess or something."
Harry suddenly recollected something and said ,"Ron she didn't go to Bulgaria! Didn't I tell you ?I might have forgotten to
mention it."
"What ??She didn't go!after that letter she sent me as a reply I was sure she would. Not to mention my best mate remembered and told me about it as quick as possible ,na..mate?Ron stopped himself from saying more.He knew it wasn't Harry's fault.
Harry didn't reply because he knew he ought to have told Ron about it earlier, maybe it would have eased his suffering .But Harry didn't want to be in bad terms with his best friend .So he said,"Look mate I am really sorry.I really forgot.Please forgive me.I'll do anything .....anything.You name it and it will be done!"
Ron stuck up face broke into a grin and said,"So you'll do anything , heh.. I'll tell you what you have to do after dinner.Wait and see.... Harry it's time for dinner and mom is beckoning us .Let's go!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As all the guests ,the Weasleys,Hermione and Harry sat down at the table the wizard band struck a beautiful tune and Prof.Dumbledore said,"Ahhh...Music, there's nothing music can't cure !"
Mr Weasley got up and said ,"Respected Prof., honourable guests, dear wife and dear children as you all know we have
gathered here to celebrate the 15th birthday of our own Harry .I would offer a toast for Harry." Everyone lifted their chalice
and toasted .Mr.Weasley went on and said ,"next we will toast for his dear parents without them he wouldn't be sitting here .
Again they repeated the act but with more respect and due honour .
A ghostly silence prevailed as Harry got up and said,I would like to thank all of you for coming and spending your time with me.Specifically, I would like thank Mr and Mrs. Weasley from the bottom of my heart because without them I'll never have got a chance to celebrate my birthday .You all really mean a lot to me ,you all are my friends,... my family..., my everything...Molly burst out crying and got up to hug Harry.
Suddenly the mood changed because above them fireworks blasted and said the following words: "Happy Birthday Harry " courtesy : Weasley's Wizard Wheezes . All of them were laughing and Dumbledore as usual said," Let the feast begin!" Everyone was eating and talking at the same time.Soon they were startled when they saw that instead of Percy sitting in a chair a peacock was sitting.This was the latest development of a canary cream to a peacock cream according Fred and George.But the peacock changed back to Percy because since this new invention didn't have a lasting charm on it.Anyway it was enough for a good laugh.
Dinner was good and Harry,Ron and Hermione chatted like old times .But this time Hermione made sure that Ginny joined in and wasn't feeling left out.This was all what she could do to lighten Ginny's pain .Suddenly some one apparated .It was Prof.Mac Gonagall who begged pardon for being late .She saw Harry and wished him a happy birthday.Mrs.Weasley told her to join the table which she soon did .
The band was now playing a very cheery and jumpy song to which George and fred were dancing crazily.Bill cheered loudlywhileHarry, Ron and Charlie clapped at the twins wild steps and funny antics in between. Even Prof.Mac Gonagall felt cheery at this sight and Prof.Dumbledore loudly praised, "Mine ,mine ,what co-ordination, what steps ,beautiful..Continue messrs Weasley,continue !"
As the song got over the band struck a soft ,light tune and to the surprise of many Mr. Weasley asked ,"Dearest would like to dance with me?" Mrs. Weasley coloured but answered affirmately.Soon they were dancing .
Then Dumbledore asked ,Prof .Macgonagall ,may I have this dance? "Sure,Albus" said Prof.Mac.Gonagall .Soon everyone was standing and now Mrs. Weasley was not only dancing with Mr .weasley but also with Bill ,Charlie and Percy.Ginny was dancing with Fred while Hermione was dancing with George.
Both Harry and Ron were cheering .Then Ron remembered and told Harry,"Now is the perfect time for you to do what I want . I want you to go and ask Ginny to dance with you. Go on."
"Oh my god!Ron what are you saying don't you know how your sister is at my very sight she''ll disappear or start blushing."Harry tried but all was in vainly as Ron wouldn't hear anything.So finally Harry decided to do what Ron wants in order to keep his friendship intact.
But in Harry's mind a good plan sprung up and he said to Ron,"O.K , I'll do it but you must promise to do a small favour in return and then I'll feel you have forgiven me for sure."
Ron replied,"Certainly mate....What must I do?"
"You must dance withHermione as I dance with Ginny "Harry said simply without beating around the bush.
"What??Now mate tha ..that's too much.I can't possibly ask her because she...she's busy dancing ."Ron was stuttering and searhing for excuses to avoid it.
But Harry had answers for every question and practically dragged Ron to Hermione and left them there .The song was over and Hermione was standing there a bit strained from dancing with both the twins who were a bit too lively.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She saw Ron coming over with Harry but soon the former proceeded to her without the latter .Ron said,"Herm..Hermio...Hermione do you ..do you..want t...t..to dance?"
She was shocked and didn't answer for a few minutes.Ron felt he could kill Harry for making him do this .Surely she'll refuse and this also confirmed his wildest nightmares that she liked someone else.
At the very instant he was about to turn away,when she said,"Umm, sure!"
He couldn't believe this .He took her hand and started dancing to the soft music.
Meanwhile :
~~~~~~~~
Harry went towards Ginny who was looking rather pink from exerting herself with her wild brothers. He said something like this to her,Wannaknowifyouwoulddancewithme?
She knew what he said just now even though it was rushed but she couldn't believe nor grasp it properly so she said,"I beg your pardon ."
Harry tried calming himself and took a deep breath before asking again .This time he said clearly,"Ginny would you mind dancing with me?"
At this Ginny felt she'd faint with too mich hapiness.She couldn't even think but she gathered herself and said with dignity, "Ofcourse Harry ,I'd would love to."
Now as both Harry and Ginny started dancing to the soft music , Ron and Hermione did the same.It surely was a great sight to be watch the two couples moving silently and gracefully with the music .Prof.Dumbledore,Mac Gonagall and the Weasley stopped what they were doing and watched them dancing. Remus slowly nudged Sirius who was still in his Animagous form and said slowly ,"What's it with Potters and red heads?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ron and Hermione were dancing quitely without even making any attempt to converse.They were content being in each others arms.
"Did you see that Harry and Ginny- they are dancing?"Hermione said as if she was dumb struck.She really had a doubt if she was dreaming all this .
He replied,"Oh that! I forced him to ask Ginny .I guess she'll be happy having Harry to dance with her for once ."
Hermione was shocked at the words he used she wanted to shout at him then and there for thinking so lightly of Ginny's feelings.But may be, he like every other elder brother he thinks of his sister as a person who he has to protect and support. He must have never noticed her growing into that pleasant ,young , independent girl !She now did understand the complex yet simple feeling of a brother for his younger sister.
Then Ron suprised her by asking if she went to Bulgaria.She wanted to snap at him for asking such a personsal question.But she bit back her annoyance and said,"No ,I didn't if you are satisfied now."He kept quiet because he knew she would snap at him if he asked any more questions which were irrelevant in her sight .
As the song went on .Hermione felt her face growing hot.She was finding it difficult to concentrate as Ron stepped in a bit closer . He kept perfect eye contact with her .This was also unnerving. Nevertheless both of them felt serene and unaccountably happy . It was as if some deep feeling was stirred between them and they no longer needed to talk .But the magic ended as the song faded and finally ended .
They joined with Harry and Ginny who had also finished dancing and started talking again .After some time , everyone was tired and the twins especially couldn't manage to stiffle their yawns.Soon the guests took lave as it was really late so they said good night to one another before leaving.
Prof.Dumbledore waved as he left for Hogwarts . Prof.Mac Gonagall also disapparated.Remus was looking ready to leave as he heard the clock strike twelve .He bent and held on to Sirius's paw before touching the portkey which was in shape of a bone and was scheduled to activate for a minute passed midnight.They were transported back to Lupin's tiny house . Before going Remus promised Harry he'll write and Snuffles gave a parting growl .
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All the Weasleys ,Harry and Hermione walked back to the house.Soon everyone was settling to sleep.Most of them slept as soon as they touched their beds and laid there heads on the pillows except for the four sleeping on the first floor .
"Good night Harry!"as Ron switched the lights of in their room.
"Good night Ron and sweet dreams !" Harry said as he laid down on the bed .
Ron felt like saying back ,'ofcourse Harry I'll be having real sweet dreams' but he kept his mouth firmlt shut .He debating with himself ,'Should I should talk to her about my feelings?Will she scream at me?'.He reminisced how wonderful it was to hold her in his arms ,to wrap his hands around her waist and to feel as if she was his only HIS!! With these lovely thoughts he cushioned into the pillow and went into a world of dreams about him and brown ,bushy haired ;smart know -it-all!
Harry was also deep in thought .He replayed the days events .He was feeling happy which was not so common to him after the Third Task .He should do something about his best friends .As decided during the dance he'll meet Ginny to plan it.He thought how different Ginny was and how she had surprised him :first by sending him that card and gift and then while dancing.He remembered how beautiful she looked , how lively and innocent . Then suddenly he found his necklace turning multiple colours.He touched it lightly before falling into a deep sleep with no nightmares to traumatize him !
Mean while in Ginny's room two girls were ready to sleep .They said a quick thanksgiving prayer and wished each other Good night before falling into their beds tired and exhausted yet secretly pleased.
Hermione thought ,'Why did I allow him to dance with me?Why did I enjoy it? even though we both are always bickering .Why??'
'May be I have some sort of feeling for that prat , maybe I dressed that much for the Yule ball just to show him I am a girl not on ugly duckling .'
Hermione quietly said a prayer from the bottom of her heart,
'Gracious Lord help me sort my feelings
and let me determine what I really feel for him.
Father, is it just a feeling anyone
has for their bestfriend or is it something more?
Answer my prayer please.'
Suddenly she felt something within her saying that that perhaps ....perhaps.....love unfolded naturally out of an intimate friendship ,as a golden heartesd rose slipping from it's green sheath even if that friendship isn't a bed of roses .Then that means she...she..liked..Ron...nay... she ..loved Ron..' This was the last thought Hermione had before falling asleep.
On the other hand,Ginny was dreaming about her dance with Harry.She remembered each word of their conversation and the pleasant experience.
The dance :
~~~~~~~~
While they were dancing ,suddenly out of nowhere Harry had said to her ,"Ginny you look real nice today."
"Thanks for the compliment Harry, you also look nice " she said sweetly.
As they danced Harry thought of seeking Ginny's help to bring Ron and Hermione together.He voiced his thoughts and said,"Ginny look at that."
She turned to look and was happy at seeing hermione dancing with her brother."Yes ,it's nice to see them not arguing or being disgusted with each other."
"But you see I had forced him into asking her .He really is head over heals in love with her.But he would neither admit it nor deny it.He's sometimes a pain in the neck.
But I find the root cause of his jealousy, anger and other irritating behaviour is the fact that he likes her and wants to know if she likes someone else.Don't you think so?"
Ginny thought quickly what she should say and answered,"Yes ,very true.We all can see it plainly he's in love with her and she's in love with him .But they both are either ignorant of their feelings or ....or.. thicker than a..
a ....quaffle ball. Shouldn't we do something about this and push them a bit ,she said wearing a Weasley trademark mischief smile.
"Would you join me , maybe we could contrive a plan to help them?" Harry asked.
Ginny was glad that atleast once he had asked her to do something.She replied ,"No need to ask ,you have my word that : 'I Ginny Weasley hereby promise to help you to join your best friends or in other words two loving souls into one' !!!"
Harry laughed out loudly at her funny joke .She was literally overflowing with happiness as she knew this was the first time he had laughed appreciating what she had said.She didn't want this to end .Anyway ,now she did have a personal moment to treasure, to store forever in her memory .This memory was a hundred times better than all those painful memories .
It may not be something which other people will remember but she'll remember this FOREVER!!

Ch - 4 Harry's birthday party
"Almost finished !" Harry said trying unsuccessfully to tame his messy black hair .
"Trying to win a losing battle ,eh Harry ? "Ron asked good naturedly.Ron was adding his final touches and was looking really good wearing a black suit with a maroon tie.
"Ron ,how come you are wearing a maroon tie ,when you just loath the colour maroon?" Harry retorted .
Ron blushed and answered,"Umm ,it's because Mum said it goes perfectly with my hair as your green tie goes with your eyes. I agreed , as I want everthing perfect for your party ."
Harry didn't ask anymore questions though he felt that the answer he just now got from Ron wasn't the actual reason at all. He didn't have time to ponder about it because he was tensed .This was his first birthday party in his memory .He didn't know if his Mom and Dad had celebrated his birthday .They may have, but again he couldn't remember. He was a baby at that time .Without thinking he reached to touch the necklace and he saw it glowing golden.
Ron broke the moment by turning to him from the mirror where he was getting ready and said ," What are you doing Harry clutching your throat or something?"
Harry hastily replied,"Oh no just.......
Fortunately for Harry just then Fred and George broke into the room wearing identical bright green suits.They really looked like flashing neon signs.
"Harry how do you like our suits ?Aren't they glowing?" Fred asked.
"We thought black suits all around was boring so we charmed our suits to this wonderful and breathtaking colour "George added.
Harry replied promptly that both of them looked absolutely smashing.Ron looked as if he was going to burst out laughing.
"So now can we all go down?It's almost time ,isn't it?"Ron said turning their attention from their suits to the party.
"Yeah,ickle Ronniekins can't wait to go down and start munching"George answered.
" Oh ,Shut up you git!"Ron answered.
But Fred loudly cleared his voice and said ,"Harry we the Weasley twins invite you downstairs as the guests have already started filling in ."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As they proceeded downstairs ,they heard giggles coming from Ginny's room.It sounded as if someone was there but who ?They didn't have much time for their thoughts because soon Mr.Weasley called the twins to hurry downstairs . So all four made their way to the garden .Harry noticed the garden looking nice and trimmed.There was a huge table laiden with food and not to mention the famous wizard band "Symphony "performing some beautiful background music .
Harry noticed Mrs.Weasley dressed in a dark velvety muggle gown was busy welcoming guests .Mr.Weasley was popping here and there making sure everything was in proper order .The guests were mainly his well wishers who he knew, not strangers.
He saw Prof.Dumbledore with his moony spectacles laughing and talking with Remus , and--he couldn't believe his eyes a brown dog which was Snuffles or Sirius. It looked as if they were busy discussing about Hogwarts .Dumbledore was animatedly speaking when he saw Harry and the others entering the garden ,he waved at them and moved towards them.Remus and Sirius followed his lead.They wished Harry a Happy Birthday.Harry was thrilled at meeting them .
As Harry petted the dog , Prof.Dumbledore with a strange twinkle in his eyes gave a small gift-wrapped packet .Harry opened it .It was -- 'Sherbet lemon,'a muggle sweet.
He grinned at the old wizard and immediately offered the packet to all of them . Harry made sure each one of them took one after which he shove it into his pocket.
All of them were cheerful but he noted how tired they looked , as if they had not slept for days. Again ,he got the same old feeling that they weren't telling him something !!!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Soon Bill ,Charlie and Percy apparated in the garden with three loud 'Plops!!' .They also were in muggle costume.As they saw him Bill and Charlie grinned and wished him a Happy and Merry Birthday.While Percy wished him and started talking about a report he has to draft on ' International Friendship between Wizarding Community!' Harry and Ron exchanged amused looks and tried their maximum not to laugh at Percy and his reports !
The twins were trying to play pranks on Percy who was completely oblivious about everything except for his conversation about the report. But as soon as they saw Mrs.Weasley coming towards them with softdrinks , they fled. exactly at that time Ron and Harry made their escape from Percy and his Reports! Soon they were lightly chatting sipping butterbeers,coke -whiz and so on.
In short, every one was enjoying themselves.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ron and Harry who were engaged in conversation with each other noticed two people coming towards them.It seemed as if they were late and were trying to reach the garden quickly but gracefully . It was quite dark so Ron and Harry took quite some time to really spot who those people were.As those two stepped into the lighted part , both Harry's and Ron's mouth fell wide open .They couldn't believe their eyes. Were those two -GINNY & HERMIONE or some angels?Both looked drop dead gorgeous .
Harry caught a brief glimpse of Ron's shocked expression and was glad that he had company.His thoughts went flying into hundreds of pieces thay conglomerated into a big lump in his throat.
He couldn't speak but Ron unknowingly voiced his thoughts and said,"Wow.....I mean nothing.Oh I mean, how are you Hermione? Hermione answered a bit stiffly that she was fine .By then Harry recovered and asked Hermione whether she came just now or before?
Like always when asked a question, Hermione gave a detailed description ans exact information..Ron noted mentally how nice she looked in that red teffeta and her hair was put in a french plait with a few curls left free .
While Hermione was answering Harry couldn't resist stealing glances at Ginny whose long auburn hair was let loose and was flying in the breeze.Her cream chiffon gown outlined her lithe figure .The gown shone in the light . She looked radiant . Similar thoughts were going on in Ron's head but he wasn't thinking of how his sister looked but how stunning Hermione looked.
Finally ,Hermione finished relating her journey by the Floo network and how she reached the burrow an hour ago but found that the boys were dressing and she didn't want to disturb them and so on.
She noticed Harry's and Ron's expression ,it looked as if both of them where lost in dreamland.So she said,"Ron!!Harry!!, Are you both listening to what I was saying ?" Both of them where suddenly transported back from their respective dreams and landed with a thud in front of Hermione gaze or more like a glare.
They both answered as quickly as they could," Oh..... Yes ofcourse!! Harry changed the subject by saying,"Thanks a lot for book,Hermione."
"My pleasure!"Hermione replied .
Ginny hadn't spoken a word because she was busy thinking . She had seen just now how her brother ,Ron was staring at Hermione. Many thoughts were passing through her head .They were 'How I should make Ron realise how much he cares for Hermione? Why is she so oblivious to his stare? Why don't they speak properly to each other ?She thinks his behaviour is confusing but for me it is clear as daylight that my brother is in love with he.Should I do something or should I wait? If I do something will it jeopardize my relationship with them. '
But soon her thoughts flew in another direction as she saw Harry was looking at her with a strange expression ,maybe he was thinking of her useless gift or about that dumping cake ceremony . All she could do now , was blush which she was already doing at the sight of him. He did look good with his black suit and green tie.
" Why I am thinking like that ? Stop it Ginny !!or you 'll turn permanent red.Now hold yourself properly." She remembered the conversation she had with Hermione while they were getting ready.
Flash back :
~~~~~~~~~
"Did you bring your gown Hermione?"
"Yes ,I'll show you .Wait a sec , let me search .It was my mum's she gave it to me.Here's it."
"Wow !It's beautiful even lovelier than the dress you wore for the Yule ball.You'll look really pretty."
"Thanks",Hermione replied shortly as if her mind was on something else.
Ginny continued,"Why don't I try some new hairstyle for you?"
She made Hermione sit in front of the big mirror as she tried different styles finally settling to do a french plait.While Hermione talked about her vacations and letter from Hogwarts , being a prefect ,books and so on .
Hermione suddenly asked her ,"How is Harry and ....Ron?" I think Ron is fine but I don't know whether Harry is really fine.You know he only came today."
Hermione saw Ginny was blushing and without thinking twice she asked her what had happened?Ginny then related about how she had to follow the Weasley tradition and dump a cake on Harry.Then she stopped on hearing someone giggle.
Ginny couldn't believe her ears,"Why are you giggling , Hermione ?Was it that funny ?" She was a bit frustrated at Hermione's reaction . She had thought atleast Hermione would sympathize for her bad luck .
But suddenly Hermione stopped her giggling as if sensing Ginny's feeling and said "So Ginny, you still have a crush on him,Don't you?" Her voice was serious and sounded more like as if she was making a statement rather than asking a question.
"I ,...I ...do not have a crush on him ,Hermione .The traces of that crush are wiped away from me long time ago ,though you know how the twins make fun of me about that to this day. Everyone thinks I am a silly girl having a crush on a hero 'The Great Harry Potter '.No one realises he is not another hero to me but my saviour ,my..my... own Hero .
The fact is that my feelings for him is not a crush or something childish as that.It's just simple like which has grown more into....into..love. It's him I love not his fame. I don't deny it began because of his fame as a crush but after the events which happened during my first year it automatically changed to something I,... can't get ever get over , something which I term as LOVE something which will be there in me till the day I die .
All these I have been waiting and I have almost lost hope especially if you consider last year's incident .Harry had asked Cho for the ball though she couldn't go with him but he did ask her first.I then understood he has feelings for someone else and chided myself for not getting over him .I wish them happiness but still ...still I won't be able to move on with my life.He'll be always there in me and all I wish is for a few pleasant memories of us that I can treasure and God I promise I won't ask for anything more....
H...h..He'll never see me as a person with my own individuality but always as Ron's little sister who blushes everytime he's around, who sent him that abominable singing valentine ..........Oh!Hermione I wish I could forget all this .I have never spoken so openly with another person . So, I ...Oh...."
Hermione who had been listening to the poor girl's sorrow without interupting her now said wanting to comfort her"Hushh,hush, Don't cry !Don't cry!! I am sure he'll see you someday and admire you for what you are !Compared to you ,my worries are nothing."
"You do know what Ron said to me during that ball...'about fraternising with the enemy'?"
"Yes ,I even heard both of you fighting in the common room that night since I had come back early for I couldn't stand there dancing with Neville who kept on stamping my foot" Ginny smiled thinking about this funny incident but she knew otherwise the ball was a painful reminder of what will never be ...The fulfillment of her Dreams!
" I never didn't notice you maybe because I was so involved in the argument. That brother of yours kept on blaming me about going with Krum for the ball.I am still confused why?? when he himself was always thinking of getting an autograph from Krum that he demands that I am not supposed to talk or go out with Krum. I wish he would tell me why just why???"Hermione stopped to get hold of herself.
Then she continued "Did you know during the holidays ,Ron sent me a letter forbading me from going to Bulgaria? I was so angry at him for that letter , I even planned to sent him a Howler.I wanted to scream some sense into him that Krum was a good friend of mine nothing more .But I then decided against it and sent a polite letter telling him to mind his own business, anyways I wasn't planning to go to Bulgaria because I wanted to visit my relatives in Wales.I had even told Krum on the last day of school that I wouldn't be coming."
" Why should I tell Ron everything ?Harry never asks me about it but Ron keeps on blabbering about it as if ....as if he..he ....i don't know just what!"Hemione raised her hand in an angry and sad gesture .
"Oops!!!,"looking at her watch" How long have we been talking ,the party is going to start within fifteen minutes.Ginny we both will wash our face and dress up.Come on ,let's forget our troubles and enjoy ourselves !
Ginny gave a watery smile and hurried to dress up .Both of them checked the mirror for any faults and encouraged each other again before leaving .
End if flashback
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny was replaying the conversation she had earlier in her mind, when she heard Mrs.Weasley called to her to help lay the plates.So both she and Hermione went to help.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Now Ron and Harry left alone got back their ability to speak and think properly.
Ron started,"Why didn't Mom tell me she had invited Hermione ?I wouldn't have made such a fool of myself in front of her,
staring at her like a gaping goat. I was really surprised Harry at seeing her here when I thought she was in Bulgaria with Vicky behind her treating her like a princess or something."
Harry suddenly recollected something and said ,"Ron she didn't go to Bulgaria! Didn't I tell you ?I might have forgotten to
mention it."
"What ??She didn't go!after that letter she sent me as a reply I was sure she would. Not to mention my best mate remembered and told me about it as quick as possible ,na..mate?Ron stopped himself from saying more.He knew it wasn't Harry's fault.
Harry didn't reply because he knew he ought to have told Ron about it earlier, maybe it would have eased his suffering .But Harry didn't want to be in bad terms with his best friend .So he said,"Look mate I am really sorry.I really forgot.Please forgive me.I'll do anything .....anything.You name it and it will be done!"
Ron stuck up face broke into a grin and said,"So you'll do anything , heh.. I'll tell you what you have to do after dinner.Wait and see.... Harry it's time for dinner and mom is beckoning us .Let's go!"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As all the guests ,the Weasleys,Hermione and Harry sat down at the table the wizard band struck a beautiful tune and Prof.Dumbledore said,"Ahhh...Music, there's nothing music can't cure !"
Mr Weasley got up and said ,"Respected Prof., honourable guests, dear wife and dear children as you all know we have
gathered here to celebrate the 15th birthday of our own Harry .I would offer a toast for Harry." Everyone lifted their chalice
and toasted .Mr.Weasley went on and said ,"next we will toast for his dear parents without them he wouldn't be sitting here .
Again they repeated the act but with more respect and due honour .
A ghostly silence prevailed as Harry got up and said,I would like to thank all of you for coming and spending your time with me.Specifically, I would like thank Mr and Mrs. Weasley from the bottom of my heart because without them I'll never have got a chance to celebrate my birthday .You all really mean a lot to me ,you all are my friends,... my family..., my everything...Molly burst out crying and got up to hug Harry.
Suddenly the mood changed because above them fireworks blasted and said the following words: "Happy Birthday Harry " courtesy : Weasley's Wizard Wheezes . All of them were laughing and Dumbledore as usual said," Let the feast begin!" Everyone was eating and talking at the same time.Soon they were startled when they saw that instead of Percy sitting in a chair a peacock was sitting.This was the latest development of a canary cream to a peacock cream according Fred and George.But the peacock changed back to Percy because since this new invention didn't have a lasting charm on it.Anyway it was enough for a good laugh.
Dinner was good and Harry,Ron and Hermione chatted like old times .But this time Hermione made sure that Ginny joined in and wasn't feeling left out.This was all what she could do to lighten Ginny's pain .Suddenly some one apparated .It was Prof.Mac Gonagall who begged pardon for being late .She saw Harry and wished him a happy birthday.Mrs.Weasley told her to join the table which she soon did .
The band was now playing a very cheery and jumpy song to which George and fred were dancing crazily.Bill cheered loudlywhileHarry, Ron and Charlie clapped at the twins wild steps and funny antics in between. Even Prof.Mac Gonagall felt cheery at this sight and Prof.Dumbledore loudly praised, "Mine ,mine ,what co-ordination, what steps ,beautiful..Continue messrs Weasley,continue !"
As the song got over the band struck a soft ,light tune and to the surprise of many Mr. Weasley asked ,"Dearest would like to dance with me?" Mrs. Weasley coloured but answered affirmately.Soon they were dancing .
Then Dumbledore asked ,Prof .Macgonagall ,may I have this dance? "Sure,Albus" said Prof.Mac.Gonagall .Soon everyone was standing and now Mrs. Weasley was not only dancing with Mr .weasley but also with Bill ,Charlie and Percy.Ginny was dancing with Fred while Hermione was dancing with George.
Both Harry and Ron were cheering .Then Ron remembered and told Harry,"Now is the perfect time for you to do what I want . I want you to go and ask Ginny to dance with you. Go on."
"Oh my god!Ron what are you saying don't you know how your sister is at my very sight she''ll disappear or start blushing."Harry tried but all was in vainly as Ron wouldn't hear anything.So finally Harry decided to do what Ron wants in order to keep his friendship intact.
But in Harry's mind a good plan sprung up and he said to Ron,"O.K , I'll do it but you must promise to do a small favour in return and then I'll feel you have forgiven me for sure."
Ron replied,"Certainly mate....What must I do?"
"You must dance withHermione as I dance with Ginny "Harry said simply without beating around the bush.
"What??Now mate tha ..that's too much.I can't possibly ask her because she...she's busy dancing ."Ron was stuttering and searhing for excuses to avoid it.
But Harry had answers for every question and practically dragged Ron to Hermione and left them there .The song was over and Hermione was standing there a bit strained from dancing with both the twins who were a bit too lively.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
She saw Ron coming over with Harry but soon the former proceeded to her without the latter .Ron said,"Herm..Hermio...Hermione do you ..do you..want t...t..to dance?"
She was shocked and didn't answer for a few minutes.Ron felt he could kill Harry for making him do this .Surely she'll refuse and this also confirmed his wildest nightmares that she liked someone else.
At the very instant he was about to turn away,when she said,"Umm, sure!"
He couldn't believe this .He took her hand and started dancing to the soft music.
Meanwhile :
~~~~~~~~
Harry went towards Ginny who was looking rather pink from exerting herself with her wild brothers. He said something like this to her,Wannaknowifyouwoulddancewithme?
She knew what he said just now even though it was rushed but she couldn't believe nor grasp it properly so she said,"I beg your pardon ."
Harry tried calming himself and took a deep breath before asking again .This time he said clearly,"Ginny would you mind dancing with me?"
At this Ginny felt she'd faint with too mich hapiness.She couldn't even think but she gathered herself and said with dignity, "Ofcourse Harry ,I'd would love to."
Now as both Harry and Ginny started dancing to the soft music , Ron and Hermione did the same.It surely was a great sight to be watch the two couples moving silently and gracefully with the music .Prof.Dumbledore,Mac Gonagall and the Weasley stopped what they were doing and watched them dancing. Remus slowly nudged Sirius who was still in his Animagous form and said slowly ,"What's it with Potters and red heads?"
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ron and Hermione were dancing quitely without even making any attempt to converse.They were content being in each others arms.
"Did you see that Harry and Ginny- they are dancing?"Hermione said as if she was dumb struck.She really had a doubt if she was dreaming all this .
He replied,"Oh that! I forced him to ask Ginny .I guess she'll be happy having Harry to dance with her for once ."
Hermione was shocked at the words he used she wanted to shout at him then and there for thinking so lightly of Ginny's feelings.But may be, he like every other elder brother he thinks of his sister as a person who he has to protect and support. He must have never noticed her growing into that pleasant ,young , independent girl !She now did understand the complex yet simple feeling of a brother for his younger sister.
Then Ron suprised her by asking if she went to Bulgaria.She wanted to snap at him for asking such a personsal question.But she bit back her annoyance and said,"No ,I didn't if you are satisfied now."He kept quiet because he knew she would snap at him if he asked any more questions which were irrelevant in her sight .
As the song went on .Hermione felt her face growing hot.She was finding it difficult to concentrate as Ron stepped in a bit closer . He kept perfect eye contact with her .This was also unnerving. Nevertheless both of them felt serene and unaccountably happy . It was as if some deep feeling was stirred between them and they no longer needed to talk .But the magic ended as the song faded and finally ended .
They joined with Harry and Ginny who had also finished dancing and started talking again .After some time , everyone was tired and the twins especially couldn't manage to stiffle their yawns.Soon the guests took lave as it was really late so they said good night to one another before leaving.
Prof.Dumbledore waved as he left for Hogwarts . Prof.Mac Gonagall also disapparated.Remus was looking ready to leave as he heard the clock strike twelve .He bent and held on to Sirius's paw before touching the portkey which was in shape of a bone and was scheduled to activate for a minute passed midnight.They were transported back to Lupin's tiny house . Before going Remus promised Harry he'll write and Snuffles gave a parting growl .
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
All the Weasleys ,Harry and Hermione walked back to the house.Soon everyone was settling to sleep.Most of them slept as soon as they touched their beds and laid there heads on the pillows except for the four sleeping on the first floor .
"Good night Harry!"as Ron switched the lights of in their room.
"Good night Ron and sweet dreams !" Harry said as he laid down on the bed .
Ron felt like saying back ,'ofcourse Harry I'll be having real sweet dreams' but he kept his mouth firmlt shut .He debating with himself ,'Should I should talk to her about my feelings?Will she scream at me?'.He reminisced how wonderful it was to hold her in his arms ,to wrap his hands around her waist and to feel as if she was his only HIS!! With these lovely thoughts he cushioned into the pillow and went into a world of dreams about him and brown ,bushy haired ;smart know -it-all!
Harry was also deep in thought .He replayed the days events .He was feeling happy which was not so common to him after the Third Task .He should do something about his best friends .As decided during the dance he'll meet Ginny to plan it.He thought how different Ginny was and how she had surprised him :first by sending him that card and gift and then while dancing.He remembered how beautiful she looked , how lively and innocent . Then suddenly he found his necklace turning multiple colours.He touched it lightly before falling into a deep sleep with no nightmares to traumatize him !
Mean while in Ginny's room two girls were ready to sleep .They said a quick thanksgiving prayer and wished each other Good night before falling into their beds tired and exhausted yet secretly pleased.
Hermione thought ,'Why did I allow him to dance with me?Why did I enjoy it? even though we both are always bickering .Why??'
'May be I have some sort of feeling for that prat , maybe I dressed that much for the Yule ball just to show him I am a girl not on ugly duckling .'
Hermione quietly said a prayer from the bottom of her heart,
'Gracious Lord help me sort my feelings
and let me determine what I really feel for him.
Father, is it just a feeling anyone
has for their bestfriend or is it something more?
Answer my prayer please.'
Suddenly she felt something within her saying that that perhaps ....perhaps.....love unfolded naturally out of an intimate friendship ,as a golden heartesd rose slipping from it's green sheath even if that friendship isn't a bed of roses .Then that means she...she..liked..Ron...nay... she ..loved Ron..' This was the last thought Hermione had before falling asleep.
On the other hand,Ginny was dreaming about her dance with Harry.She remembered each word of their conversation and the pleasant experience.
The dance :
~~~~~~~~
While they were dancing ,suddenly out of nowhere Harry had said to her ,"Ginny you look real nice today."
"Thanks for the compliment Harry, you also look nice " she said sweetly.
As they danced Harry thought of seeking Ginny's help to bring Ron and Hermione together.He voiced his thoughts and said,"Ginny look at that."
She turned to look and was happy at seeing hermione dancing with her brother."Yes ,it's nice to see them not arguing or being disgusted with each other."
"But you see I had forced him into asking her .He really is head over heals in love with her.But he would neither admit it nor deny it.He's sometimes a pain in the neck.
But I find the root cause of his jealousy, anger and other irritating behaviour is the fact that he likes her and wants to know if she likes someone else.Don't you think so?"
Ginny thought quickly what she should say and answered,"Yes ,very true.We all can see it plainly he's in love with her and she's in love with him .But they both are either ignorant of their feelings or ....or.. thicker than a..
a ....quaffle ball. Shouldn't we do something about this and push them a bit ,she said wearing a Weasley trademark mischief smile.
"Would you join me , maybe we could contrive a plan to help them?" Harry asked.
Ginny was glad that atleast once he had asked her to do something.She replied ,"No need to ask ,you have my word that : 'I Ginny Weasley hereby promise to help you to join your best friends or in other words two loving souls into one' !!!"
Harry laughed out loudly at her funny joke .She was literally overflowing with happiness as she knew this was the first time he had laughed appreciating what she had said.She didn't want this to end .Anyway ,now she did have a personal moment to treasure, to store forever in her memory .This memory was a hundred times better than all those painful memories .
It may not be something which other people will remember but she'll remember this FOREVER!!
A.N: This was a really long chapter for me to write though I had done it earlier I changed the whole plot and made a whole new chapter.I am doing this all because you all reviewed and liked my story .I am sorry if I made this ch. a bit too fluffy.I have a feeling that this chapter was meant to be so or otherwise I wouldn't have changed the chapter's layout.
Thanks specially to the reviewers:
[ Faith Joanne Lane- I really like your name .It's really classic.Thanks a lot for the review. I don't think you are nosy for asking me the question of how many chapters will I write. Honestly ,I haven't decided because the number of chapters depends on the feedback I recieve from you people out there reading my fic.May be about ten or fifteen or five at the least {I have already drafted the fifth ch.which will come as soon as I recieve a bunch of reviews} .Sorry for not giving the correct no. As I said before I haven't really decided .But soon i'll let you know.
Merci beaucuop pour the review :=) ]
[Ian- It's nice to know that you had already seen the first two Chapters which I published first in SIYE.Thanks for reviewing the third chapter.Hope you like this one as well.]
Reminder: Do leave REVIEWS!! Unless I get a good number of them I won't add the next ch. which I already have drafted . Joking but I desperately need reviews to back me up or I 'll surely feel there's no use writing this fic.
Waiting in hope
