Ginny sat in the common room staring at her Transfiguration homework. At that moment in time she just couldn't care less how to turn a rock into a toad. She had more important things on her mind. Like Harry. Like Hermione. Like Harry and Hermione together. She tried to shake it off but the thoughts kept invading her mind. Earlier that day, Hermione tried talking to her. Ginny just walked away. 'How dare she even try to be my friend after what she did to me." Ginny tapped her quill onto the book. There was no way she could possibly concentrate on Transfiguration.
Just then she heard someone sit down across the table and say, "Hullo, Ginny." She recognized the voice, afraid to look up. She was right. It was him. Harry was sitting right across the table from her.
"Hi there, I was just about to go up to bed now, so, good night!" She said quickly and began to gather her books.
"Gin, wait," Harry said, 'Oh, God it's now or never
.
'Don't say it, Harry,' she pleaded in her mind. 'I don't want to hear about you and Hermione.'
"Would you like to attend the Welcome Back ball with me?" he asked nervously.
Ginny stared at him for second, "Is this a joke?"
"What? A joke? Why would I be joking?" Harry asked, confused. 'She's gonna say no. She hates me. She hates me!' He thought.
"I, uh, I thought you were going with Hermione..." Ginny's voice trailed off as she looked at a confused Harry.
"Me? And Hermione? I could never do that to Ron. Besides, Ron just asked her the ball this afternoon. And it's about bloody time, too. Those two have been beating around the bush for who knows how long!"
Ginny's faced dropped, "Oh, no." It had to have been a misunderstanding. Hermione and Harry weren't together.
"What? What's wrong?" Harry asked.
"Harry, I would love to go to the ball with you, but see the thing is I already told Colin I would go with him," she explained.
"Oh, right then," He looked a bit dissapointed and got up to walk away.
"Harry!" Ginny called.
He looked back at her. "Yeah?"
"I was really waiting for you to ask me," she said, shyly.
He gave a smile, "Yeah?" She nodded. "Well, then save a dance for me."
"Can do," she said. She grabbed her books and ran up the dormitories. She had to talk to Hermione.
Hermione flipped through a magazine titled "Witch Hairstyle?". It had various spells for hairstyles and makeup. Normally, Hermione wouldn't be caught reading a magazine of that nature, but she wanted to look good for Ron. Her mind began to wander, as she thought about the Ball and Ron. A knock on the door interuppted her thoughts.
"Come in!" She said.
Ginny walked shyly through the door, "Hi Hermione."
Hermione put down her magazine. "Ginny! I thought you were mad at me. What happened? I didn't even know what I did!"
"That's actually why I came to see you," Ginny began. "Last night I heard you giggling and laughing with Harry. I kinda thought you two were together."
"oh, Gin! How could you think that? I would never do that to you!"
Ginny shrugged, "Well, anyway I thought I would tell Colin I'd go to the ball with him. And a little after I told him that Harry asked me to the ball."
"Ginny..." Hermione began.
"This is horrible, Hermione! I am so sorry I ever thought you were with Harry. I can't believe I was stupid enough to think you would do something like that. But now Harry wants to go to the ball with me and I'm going with Colin. Now Harry probably thinks I don't like him anymore!"
"Gin, it's okay, really," Hermione said softly, "Have you tried explaining this to Harry?"
"There's a story I'd like to hear! 'Oi Harry, sorry 'bout saying no. I thought you were with Hermione, so I told Colin I'd go with him to try and make you jealous."
"I'm going to fix this for you," Hermione told her.
"You're what? How?" Ginny asked.
"Never you mind that," Hermione said. She handed Ginny her magazine, "Just pick out which hairstyle you want for the ball."
