Meeting Place
Rushing into the room, Hermione notices that both Draco and Ginny were waiting for her.
"Let me guess," laughs Ginny. "You got accosted by Ron and Harry again."
"No," grumbles Hermione. "I wish I had. It was Colin Creevey and his stupid idea."
"What," demands Ginny.
"He was planning on pranking Snape," informs Hermione. "I told him under no circumstances was he to do so."
"That doesn't explain why you look harassed," states Draco.
"You don't know Colin," laughs Ginny. "He can be such a prick."
"Yes, he can," laughs Hermione. "So what brings us here?"
"Your game," informs Ginny. At their put out expression, "Oh, come on. You two haven't dared each other since prank week ended."
"That's because we're busy," grumbles Draco. "Haven't you ever hear of N.E.W.T.'s Ginny?"
"Plus we're busy planning the Valentines Day Ball," adds Hermione. "We really don't have a lot of time to pull anything."
"I wasn't thinking big," pouts Ginny.
Both Draco and Hermione sigh. "Fine," relent Draco and Hermione.
"Maybe you could do a timed prank," offers Ginny. "That way you can work it into your busy schedule."
"But what," asks Draco.
"I want it to be funny, but also untraceable," inserts Hermione.
"Well I was thinking," smiling evilly, "About that calendar that you gave me Hermione." Ginny watches Hermione's blank face. "You know the one with the one liners."
"Oh," gasps Hermione. "That would be cool."
"I don't get it," says Draco until Ginny shows him the calendar in question. Flipping throw it Draco starts to laugh. "Ok this would be slightly funny."
"Good," smirks Ginny. "Here is the interesting part, Hermione I want you to do the negative while Draco does the positive."
"Fine," they both agree.
Then they set the date for the prank to show it's self.

Common Room
Laughing Hermione and Ginny walk into the common room, there sitting in one of the comfy chairs sat Sirius. "Hello Sirius," greets Ginny. "Bye Sirius, remember to let me know about that other thing." Waving good-bye, Ginny heads straight to her room.
"What other thing," asks Sirius pulls Hermione onto his lap.
As Sirius kisses her temple, "She is obsessed with the color theme of the dance." Looking around her, Hermione instantly notices chocolate along with marshmallows. "What are you planning?"
"Just a quite night in front of a roaring fire," Sirius says as he nuzzles her neck causing Hermione to make small noises. "So do you want to be an official couple or take your chances with this ball that you're planning?"
Smirking at him, "Are you trying to sweeten me up?"
"Who me?"
Ladies Night
Transfiguration Room
"Well ladies," greets Hermione. "We are just about ready for the Ball. Is there anything let that you can think of that needs to be done?"
"Set up the room, but that happens the day of the Ball," says Jade.
"Let everyone know who is going with who," offers Kathy. "And how we're going to let them know."
"Well I was think that since it's a holiday dedicated to candy and flowers," ponders Hermione. "Why don't we use that to inform people who they are going with?"
"I think it's sweet but simple," agrees Jade. "Just one question, who is going to decide who goes with whom?"
Silence greets Jade's question, no one wanted to be the person responsible for the pairing up of everyone at the ball. Thank Merlin that Sirius and I are going as an official couple!
"Anyone?"
Gryffindor tower
Hermione's Room
Opening the door, surprise greets Hermione sitting down at her desk is Sirius. "Hello do I have the right room," asks Hermione causing Sirius to jump a little. "Did I scare you?"
"Not really," dismiss Sirius. "I was just concentrating on these papers I have to grade."
"Oh," gasping dramatically Hermione. "I see! You came all this way to my room to grade papers? Hmm, oh!" Feeling Sirius's strong arms wrap themselves around her waist just before his lips descended upon hers. Damn he's such a good kisser!
The Day of the Valentines Day Ball
Dinning Hall
Breakfast
Swallowing down her meal with relish, Hermione and Ginny struggle to get themselves out of the hall as fast as possible.
"Didn't your mother ever tell you not to inhale your food," ponders Sirius as he sits down right next to Hermione. Snaking his arms around her, he prevents her from getting up. "Can't have you fleeing the scene of the crime, now can I."
Giving him the pretty, please help get me out of here look; Hermione was mildly surprised when Sirius shock his head no. Gapping at him for a few seconds, Hermione tries to stand up only to find herself closer to Sirius.
"Don't you want to see everyone's reaction," questions Sirius.
"No," hisses Hermione. "I want to get the hell out of here!"
"Too bad," mutters Sirius. "If it helps you, I'll protect you."
Groaning loudly, Hermione places her head in her hands as sudden loud pops echo around the hall. Loud gasps along with shrieks of both pain and joy could be heard. Looking up, Hermione see both Ron and Harry staring blankly at the candy sweet heart in front of them. Oh please! I could have paired you up with Pansy!
"Something wrong," asks Sirius.
"Ah no," groans Ron. "Mione," pointing to his candy. "I told you this in…"
"Ronald Weasley," snaps Ginny. "What makes you think that Mione was the one to pair people up?"
"Ah nothing," stutters Ron his ears were turning pink as Harry swallowed hard.
"So who did the pairing," asks Harry still trying to recover from his shock.
"I don't know," mumbles Hermione. Come on think your way out of this. "One of the teachers," glaring at Sirius who looks shocked. "Why don't you ask…"
"Remus and I had nothing to do with it," interrupts Sirius. "Why who do you have?"
Blushing Harry mumbles out, "Christine Homes."Until Later
