Thank you for reviewing. Sorry this took so long. I had a little trouble in
school and the damn computer ate the old file.
Anyways, here's the story.
P.S. In case you didn't know, every girl considers Harry the cutest guy at Hogwarts.
Chapter 2:
"Finally, I'm home," said Harry as they got off the train. "I can't wait for the feast," said Ron. Hermione looked at Ron then shook her head, muttering, "Boys."
"C'mon. Let's go get a carriage," said Ginny. The others followed her.
Harry blinked as he saw the threstrals. He still hadn't gotten used to the fact that he could see this reptilian horses and he couldn't.
***
"Hi, Harry," Parvati Patil said sweetly as Harry and the others sat down at the Gryffindor Table. "Hello, Parvati," said Harry managing a weak smile. Then, he quickly turned to Ron to strike up a conversation but his best friend was busy talking to Hermione. Harry shook his head before turning to the youngest Weasley.
"So, what do you think are the odds of us beating Slytherin?" Harry asked Ginny. "99.9 to .1," replied Ginny.
Harry raised an eyebrow. "Why the .1?"
"Well, our Seeker sometimes ends up in the Hospital Wing and we end up forfeiting the match,"
"I'm sure it's not the Seeker's fault," Harry said with a smile.
"It is. It's his fault for attracting too much trouble. I do hope we'll get a new Seeker. Don't you?" asked Ginny with a devilish smile. "Why you little."
"Shut up, you two. Dumbledore's about to start his speech," said Hermione, frowning at them. Harry playfully glared at Ginny, who smiled at him.
The Hogwarts headmaster stood up after 'Zennith, Sarah' got sorted into Ravenclaw.
"To the old students, welcome back and to the new ones, welcome to Hogwarts. Before the feast begins, I would like to make some announcements. One, Mr. Filch has reminded me, for what seems the umpteenth time, that certain wizard 'stuff' (a/n: I know Dumbledore wouldn't really use this word but I didn't know anything else to write). For a full list you can visit his office. Two, there will be two social events this year. The first one is the Yule Ball and the second one is the Valentine's Dance. Dress robes will be worn on the first event while Muggle formal wear will be worn on the second. Only the 4th years to the 7th years will be allowed to attend these events. And.that is all, unless I have forgotten something. Let the feast begin," said Dumbledore. Then, the plates began to fill with food.
The Great Hall was filled with noise as everyone discussed the Yule Ball and Valentine's Dance. There were some complaints, most of it done by the 2nd years and the 3rd years.
***
"So, who are you going to ask, Harry?" asked Ron. Most of the girls at the table stopped gossiping to listen.
"I don't know, yet. Maybe I'll go alone," Harry replied with a shrug.
"What?! You're the most popular guy in school. You're Head Boy and Quidditch Captain. You can't go stag," said Ron. Some people nearby murmured in agreement (a/n: These people are really nosy, aren't they?).
"I didn't ask to be popular," muttered Harry, looking down at his plate.
"The point is, you can't go alone. It's just not right,"
"Fine. I won't go alone but I don't know who I'll be taking,"
"That's fine with me," said Ron, before drinking from his goblet.
Hermione nudged Harry and looked at Ginny, who was talking to a friend of hers. Harry looked at Hermione.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked her. "Ask her to the Yule Ball," came Hermione's reply. "Don't you think it's a bit too early to ask anyone to the Ball?"
"You've got a point there. But you're going to take her to the ball, right?" asked Hermione, looking at Harry, who shrugged. "Probably. If she doesn't have a date when I ask her," he said.
Hermione looked at her best friend. Was he blushing? She couldn't really tell since he was looking down and there wasn't much light shed on his face.
***
"I'm going to go ask McGonagall who we're up against first," Harry said, after eating. "Okay. We'll wait for you here," said Ron, grabbing another treacle tart.
***
Harry came back wearing a big grin.
"What are you grinning about?" asked Ginny with a raised eyebrow.
"We're up against Hufflepuff first," said Harry. "Why are you happy about that?" asked Ron. "It's the first match of the year," Harry started to walk out of the Great Hall. Ginny, Hermione and Ron followed him.
"Have you booked the field?"
"Yeah. Training starts a week from now. It seems that the Ravenclaws booked it before I did,"
"How?"
"Terry's (a/n: I mean Terry Boot) the new captain and he booked it before the feast began,"
"Damn," muttered Ron.
***
"Harry, where are you going? We have our own rooms, remember?" Hermione said as Harry started to follow Ron and Ginny.
"Right. I forgot," said Harry. "C'mon. Follow me," Hermione led Harry to a hardly used corridor with only one door.
"We're going to share a Common Room," said Hermione, opening the door. "You're room is over there," Hermione pointed at a door.
"G'night, Hermione," Harry said before walking into his room.
***
"Sleep well, you two?" asked Ron as Harry and Hermione sat down.
"Yeah,"
Harry looked around. "Where's Ginny?" he asked as he helped himself to some toast.
"She'll be here in a few minutes. Had to wait for a friend of hers," answered Ron. "Why do you ask, Harry?" Hermione asked curiously. Harry shrugged. "Nothing. Just wanted to know," he said.
Hermione raised an eyebrow. Did Harry like Ginny?
***
Ginny and three friends came into the Great Hall, talking animatedly.
"Mornin', Ginny," Hermione and Harry greeted her as she passed by them. "Mornin'," Ginny said before taking a seat at the other end of the table with her friends.
***
"Here's your timetable, Ms. Weasley," McGonagall said, giving Ginny her schedule. Ginny looked at the schedule and smiled.
"Great. We've only got Potions two times a week and both aren't double," she said. "Yeah," said Sierra Porter, looking at her schedule. Sierra turned to their other friends, Dana Brandt and Kristin Cooper, who were distracted.
"What's wrong?" asked Sierra. "Ron seems upset," said Dana, gesturing to Ron. "I'm going to go find out," said Ginny, standing up.
***
"What's up, Ron?" asked Ginny. "I've got Double Potions two times a week, that's what," said Ron. Ginny turned to Hermione and Harry. "Why aren't you two upset?" she asked.
"We don't have the same schedule. We've only got Double Potions once a week," replied Hermione. "Oh. I remember, now. Ron didn't pass his O.W.L.s (Harry mysteriously got an E),"
"Thanks for reminding me, Ginny," Ron said sarcastically. "My pleasure, bro," Ginny said before walking away.
"Sisters," muttered Ron as Harry smiled.
***
"I can understand why he's upset," said Kristin after Ginny told them why Ron was upset. "Double Potions, twice a week?! That's a nightmare!" exclaimed Dana. Ginny and Sierra nodded in agreement.

What to expect in the next chapter: Encounters with the Ferret Boy. Flirting. Revelation from Ginny. And.uh.more.
I really don't know what else to add. Send me your comments and suggestions!!!
Lots of love, Adrienne
P.S. The 22 in Adrienne22 is not my age. In fact, I'm a lot younger than that.
