Disclaimer: I do own some stuff, all of it, unfortunately, is material. Therefore, I own no characters or schools or aminals in this story. (Well, I do own the Texas Chain Saw Weight loss Clinic, and 1-800-No-EVIL, but they're all bad ideas, so they don't count.)

A/N: ever notice that evil is live spelled backwards? Ever notice that Neville is No evil without and o, and with an extra "le" at the end? I did! I have too much time on my hands, don't I? there were no OotP spoilers in the last chapter, but there will be in this one!

They had to leave at night, so that no teachers saw and tried to but in on the adventure. Harry and Ginny had to share the invisibility cloak Ginny smiled and turned BRIGHT scarlet when she heard this, but it was sort of a put-off when she realized he had shrunk to just three inches taller than her.
Both Ron and Hermione were going to put disillusionment charms on each other, and Gandalf, er, Dumbledore and Legolas could run into the forest as is, without anybody worrying. But that hadn't happened yet, it was still about half and hour before they were to set out. Dumbledore was storming Sanpe's office (with permission from Professor Stick-Up-His-Ass himself) for the other potion ingredients. Let's see, gilly weed, powdered moonstone, five drops of butterbeer, and nettles..."
"Can't you get the butterbeer from somewhere else?" Hermione inquired.
"Yeah, but it's more fun to steal it from Snape."
"What motivation do you have, exactly, for wanting to create the plot- hole?" Legolas asked, thanks to a nice potion that Hermione whipped up in four minutes, he was back to his normal state of mind.
Dumbledore pointed to his robes "The Colors! No stupid grays and whites!" he was wearing blue and purple robes with gold glittery spots. There wasn't a lot of room in the office, and because only Legolas and Dumbledore needed to be there, the teenagers left and sat outside the office, in the hall. Ron and Hermione sat next to each other talking quietly, Harry sat across the hall. Ginny stood for a moment trying to decide where to go, then a though hit her, well, more punched her so hard that she lost her balance, staggered a little, almost fell, and plopped down next to her brother.
"...I can't wait 'til were in that forest, where nobody'll be able to see us-"
"Hey Ron!" Ginny said as she approached him. She noticed his embarrassed look and smiled, "Relax, I heard, and saw, much worse when I was possessed by Tom,"
"I thought you couldn't remember that stuff."
"Not most of it, but some things just get burned onto your brain," Ginny mumbled quickly, "Anyway, we might want to get to the real issue." Hermione and ron looked at her with surprised expressions running across their faces. "You guys were about to, like, kiss, or make-out, or something," they nodded, not seeing the point, which was just around the corner, or shall I say, across the hall. "What would Harry think," a look of understanding sprang onto Hermione's face, but Ginny continued for Ron, "when he sees you two snogging? You never told him that you'd started going out! He'd be really confused!" She'd had to keep going, enough to add the last part until Ron got it.
"Oh, you right," Hermione said. She also noticed the look on Ginny's face and knew there had to be more, it took her precisely 2.43 second to get the rest, "But when we tell him, he'll feel left out of the loop."
"I can deal with that," an evil grin spread itself across Ginny's face, "You guys had better tell him. It's better that he hear it from you than me."
They all walked up to him. He had been passing the time by talking to his "precious" invisibility cloak, and stroking it. As they approached, he quickly shut up and put the cloak around his neck, to keep it safe. "Fro- Harry," Ron said cautiously. Oh no! he almost called him Frodo! a sign of the Harry Potter apocalypse! (It would be the end of the Harry Potter world) "Hermione and I have something to tell you, you see...the thing is...we're...well...it's kind of like...we're..."
"GOING OUT!!!" Hermione shouted, she'd gotten tired of waiting, "Sorry for the outburst, I got tired of waiting."
"Well, FINALLY!" Harry said, a Hagrid-size grin across his face, "It only took you, what? FIVE YEARS to ask her out!"
"You've liked me since first year?!" asked Hermione, "I thought It was only since fourth year, when I went out with Vikky"
"Two things: How'd you know I liked you then? And, WHY'D YOU CALL HIM VIKKY?!" He asked his girlfriend.
"Cause you were totally jealous, you were always mad, and um, force of habit, I guess." Hermione replied innocently. "Anyway, we should get to the important issue. Sorry we didn't tell you sooner, Harry. We didn't want you to fell, well, left out,"
"Oh," said Harry sounding somewhat deflated, "I never thought of it that way before,"
"That's all right," Ginny chimed in, "You and I could go out, and then we could all go on double dates, and do things as couples, and nobody will be left out!" Ginny said. She'd known all to well what it felt like to be left out of the adventure. Harry agreed to her plan, not really knowing what he was saying. She'd said it so fast, and her confident tone of voice made it seem like everything was worked out. Plus, Harry thought she was so pretty, that he was hardly listening, it was more like just staring at her blankly. She could have suggested that they feed him to the evil rabbit, he would have nodded along.
Ron and Hermione went off in private to snog. Ginny talked at Harry about where their first date would be for about ten minutes, then, "It's time to look invisible," Dumbledore told them. Ron and Hermione came out of the abandoned classroom they had been in, disillusionment charms in place. Harry and Ginny got under the "precious" cloak, Harry really had to stop thinking that.
They had already started toward the exit when an odd shout cam from under the cloak, "Wait, ARE WE GOING OUT?!?!?!?!" Harry said in amazement.
Ron raised a fist, he wasn't going to let his sister get dumped, not now, not like that. "Well, um yes," Ginny said nervously, "Is there a problem?"
"And, I didn't have to ask?"
"Um, do have a problem with it or not?" Ginny inquired, she was almost disappointed that there wasn't (what teenage girl can resist a little extra drama?). Harry really didn't know what to say to this that couldn't backfire. Instead of talking, he decided to kiss her.
Ron raised his fist again, "What's going on under there?"
"Children! We have no time for this now!" Legolas said, sounding wise.
"That's right," Dumbledore said, with a hint of authority in his voice, "You'll have plenty of time to snog once elf-boy gets back home,"
"Yeah, let's go," said elf-boy, "Hey wait a sec- did you just call me-" but it was too late everyone else was out of the castle, he quickly caught up. They were to stay silent as they walked to the forest, so no suspicion would arise over why people are concealing themselves and heading into the dark forest.
Harry looked over at the Whomping Willow, it reminded him of Sirius. "Aww, are you crying?" Ginny mocked him.
"No," he croaked, on the verge of tears,"
"Then maybe you ought to go lie down, you sound awful!" Hermione told him, she couldn't see his tears, "You've been on every adventure, maybe, it'd be vest if you sat this one out, and let us fill you in on what happened later,"
Harry was insulted by the comment, HOW DARE Hermione suggest that he not be the center of attention. "I'm fine!" he said, sounding normal, I must see the ring to Mordor. I mean, I must see the evil bunny slain."
"Right," Ron said, Hermione gave him a weird look, "What? I hadn't said much lately," the invisible glare continued, "If my little sister gets to make fun of Harry why don't I?" Ron said, sounding jealous.
"'Cause I asked him out, not you, you can make fun of Hermione," Ginny said with a slight laugh.
There was a moment of silence, then the two girls burst out laughing hysterically, "Like we'd let them laugh at us" they both thought.
