Author's Note: This is my first Ginny fanfic *wink`wink* AND its Romance, Action, Adventure, Drama. Oh and I refuse to believe the 5th Book death.
Sweet Destiny
**Remember**
After this announcement, everyone started getting
excited and quite a few boys looked at Miss Hermione Granger.
"Hermione! Malfoy is checking you out!! Oh my God! He's gonna ask you to the ball! And look Pansy is trying to flirt with him but he seems to be staring at you! Look at the that! He's looking soo dreamy when just about every other girl in the school is in love with him cause he is 'hott'. He wants you"
Luna and Ginny kept teasing Hermione all day. It seems like everyone else that wanted to be with Hermione had no chance because right now, Hermione already had to choose between three boys. Ron, Harry, and Malfoy. It should have been more obvious that Hermione wanted Ron, but she seemed confused. Maybe she noticed Harry is getting jealous, but she shouldn't let a boy who is crushing on her take the love from Ron. Ginny was in a good mood despite Harry being totally wack. Hermione started pouting playfully trying to hide her confusion. She did a really great job doing it, but Harry couldn't help but show his disappointment.
Harry was alone in his feelings. If ever he tried to talk to Ron about Hermione, Ron would flip. Ginny would be way too hurt, and Luna just made him even more guilty. Neville and Seamus and Dean all were just a bit preoccupied to notice Harry and his problems. Really, all he wanted to do was ask her. If not her, he could take Ginny. All around him people were talking about the ball. Costumes. Dates. Skits. And asking.
At lunch, Malfoy started heading toward the Gryffindor table with his sweetest look on and making sure he was totally hott. Almost everyone was watching what he was about to do. Everyone but Hermione noticed for she was deep in her thoughts thinking about who she should pick to go with. Malfoy made space between Hermione and Ron to sit in.
"Hey Hermione! How are you?"
'Did he just call Hermione, Hermione? He
always refers to her as Granger or mudblood...'
"I was fine before you
got here Malfoy! What do you want?"
"Who are you going to the Ball
with?"
"What the hell? No one yet."
"Brilliant! We're going to dress as
characters from a muggle video game! You of course would know all about what
those are! We will dress as Yuna and Tidus from Final Fantasy Ten. (A/N: I'll
put up some fan art for the ball later so you can see the costumes)"
Hermione was speechless. Maybe because Draco just planned their dance and Ron's jaw dropped. She really didn't refuse, now it was basically permanent. Draco walked away saying she'll have to fit the costume later. Everyone sort of freaked.
"Hermione, why are you going with him?"
"Oh my God Hermione! you're soo
lucky!"
"He really wanted you!"
"I bet he would've fought for you too!!"
Soon Ginny got annoyed at hearing all these comments on Hermione and Draco going together that she decided to visit the library. Ginny passed by the common room and grabbed her journal. Walking dow the stairs, Ginny passed Harry also heading to the library. He was clearly heartbroken, as Ginny was too. But she also still had her soft spot for him that made her want to give him a hug. Harry somehow didn't notice two big brown eyes watching him pout over Hermione. Harry certainly didn't have feeling for Ginny, but he would still take her to the ball if she allowed it.
As they walked inside, Ginny sat at a table in the far corner while Harry sat at the table closest to the 'dream analogy' section. The innocent brown eyes stayed on Harry. Harry loved her. Now she walked in. Hermione tried to keep it secret when she tried to explain to Harry what happened.
"Harry i was basically forced to go with him! I didn't answer. Even if I did,
he would not take no for an answer."
"What about me? What about Ron!
Who do you think we will go with?"
Ginny listened to those words. What about me? Ginny thought ' What about me!' Who do you think we will go with? 'I'm here!'
Reality streaked through her kute head. ' Harry didn't think of going with me. He must really love her then. Hermione doesn't love him though! Can she? ' She listened more.
"What about Ginny?"
' Oh great! Now I have to hear why he doesn't love
me. '
"I can take her. I did love her once, but she's taken! She's with
Dean!"
At that comment Ginny started to giggle.
"Oh my God Harry! I can't
believe your so thick! Ginny just said that to make Ron go crazey! I'm sure
she'd lu--"
Just then Ginny didn't want to hear what Hermione was about to say. If Harry was going to have to be convinced to ask her, she didn't want to go with him. Ginny decided to go visit Ron and see how he was doing. She started toward the door when Draco Malfoy started going in. For some odd reason they both just froze, staring at each other. Draco had a slightly worried look on. After a while Ginny decided to just leave. But she heard Malfoy talking to Hermione and Harry. Something about sensing danger in someone. Harry and Hermione both gasped. Draco shushed them and made them promise not to tell anyone. I suppose it has somthing to do with Ron. He is really mad about the whole Masquerade ball thing. Maybe he got in trouble or something. Hmmm..
Ginny just couldn't get it out of her head. There was a feeling inside of her that meant it was important. After 20 minutes of trying to concentrate on anything else and failed, she tried to find Ron. If something happened, he'd be in the hopital wing or an office. Ginny started toward those places. After 20 more minutes of searching, she gave up and went to the common room.
In front of the fire, Ron was sulking and whinning about being faster. Ginny was sure that the words, "Next time there's a ball, ask me before someone else does, and not as a last resort!"
"Viktor went with her the first time, and now its Malfoy! Has the world
suddenly gone crazy!"
"Ron, Hermione didn't even want to go with Malfoy, she
was in shock!"
"Well still..."
Ron started mumbling again and Harry, Hermione and Draco entered the common room.
I'll try to finish the next chapter tomarrow but I'm a real slacker so probably in 3 days.
