Author's Note: Sorry It took so long to update. I've been having a it-takes-a-week-to-write-a-chapter block. I'm going to write chapter two right when I finish. 7 extra hours and yah! It might be posted after I get 5 reviews! I only got 2 for ch 2 so I didn't want to write this.

Sweet Destiny

**Remember**
Ron started mumbling again and Harry, Hermione and Draco entered the common room.

* * * *

Ron turned to see who came in. When he saw the boy that stole his girl away he started to turn a deep shade of red. Quickly he started cursing at everyone. Hermione, trying to explain, dragged him into the boys common room and whispered something to him. Ginny looked curiously up at Draco, whose eyes looked deep and warm, not the usual cold gray eyes. When he noticed she was staring, he smiled weakly and sat down. She offered him a game of wizard's chess, for she was really bored. Waiting for Ron and Hermione, Harry decided to see whats up with them. Half expecting to walk in on them making out, the room was instead filled with heat. The tension in the air was directed at Harry from Ron

Hermione quickly sensed danger, so took Harry's hand and brought him to the girls dorm. Harry put on a senseless smile and was noticing every detail, Hermione's delicate hands, the scent that passed as they ran, and the flow of her robes. Unfortunately he couldn't enjoy it as much with the thought that something was wrong.

As they got into the room, Hermione plopped onto the bed and explained why Ron was mad.

"He blames you for Draco's prediction."
"But why? How can I have to do with this?"
"Because you broke her heart."
"No she was seeing someone. Its not like I would run away because you're seeing Ron and Going with Draco!"

Harry didn't mean to let that out. Hermione didn't know until now that Harry really did love her, so she just kept quiet. After ages, she spoke softly.

"Harry, I'm sorry. I just---"
"Nevermind that. You better get your costume fitted. I don't think you'll have much time tonight or tomarrow. And class is in an hour."
"You're right. I'll see you later."

She jumped off the bed giving Harry a pat on the head to be annoying, and left. Ginny was whooping Draco at chess. When they finished their game, Hermione and Draco walked to the Slytherin common room to fit her costume. This thought really made Ron and Harry more uneasy. They didn't want him doing or seeing anything. Just the thought of Draco helping Hermione in her dress was a bit...ew.

Thinking of Hermione and Draco's costume made Harry and Ron think of their own. They also needed dates. Harry decided he should ask Ginny right now. So he started walking toward her. Ginny waved back and continued to repair her chess set. Groups of Ginny's roommates entered quite noisy which took Harry aback. They went up to Ginny and started telling her some gossip.

"I heard Luna Lovegood is going with Neville !!"
"Lavendar is going to dress as Cinderella, but I'm not sure who with."
"Probably Seamus again. I heard Colin took a picture of them in a broom closet."
"Ew Lavendar isn't that type of girl!"
"Anthony Goldstein is going to ask you."

Harry froze and Ginny blurted, "What! He's like the hottest guy at school. Why is he gonna ask me?" Ginny didn't wait for an answer. "Oh my GOD!! That one Ravenclaw prefect right. OooOoooO I'd better go" Ginny eyed Harry just to make sure he heard, and quickly turned away. She took Lynn's arm and said, "I'm going single." And disappeared from the common room.

Confused, Harry decided that he should just ask someone else. He didn't hear what Ginny said to Lynn, but he understood that she wouldn't go with him. He was walking around the lake when he saw a rock and kicked it. Under the sand, a glint of silver sparkled. He got on the floor and picked it up and swept off the dirt. It had an emerald as green as Harry's eyes shaped as a heart. Harry turned the jewel over and saw the name Lily Evans imprinted in cursive. Surprised, Harry pocketed it and returned to the common room in a trance.

When Harry entered the room, he saw Ron talking to a girl from Ginny's year. She seemed really exctied, probably about going to the ball with Ron. The ball was tomarrow and Harry really needed a costume soon. He ran up to the common room and found some old clothes that he didn't really wear. He picked up his wand and started cutting the cloth.

Not knowing what to do with the costume anymore, he tried it on to make sure it fit. It was brown with his robe (cloak thing) over. He pulled out his wand, and made a green laser come out. Years ago, Harry saw a muggle film in a different universe far far away. He fell in love with the movie until he found out he was a wizard. He copied the outfit of the jedi and made a useless laser.

The door slammed, and Ron walked in.

"What is that Harry? Its brilliant!"
"Thanks Ron! I'm a Jedi."
"You're a what?" ROn asked with great interest.
"I'm from an old muggle film. That you can watch from a t.v."

For a while Harry tried to explain everything that had to do with Star Wars until finally Harry gave up and changed the subject.

"What are you wearing Ron?"
"I'm going to be a House Elf. Dobby knitted me a costume" Ron shrugged at the look on Harry's smiling but mad jealous face, which he changed immidiately.
"You made a House-Elf do your work? Hermione's not gonna be happy."

That was a wrong move. With the mean look that Ron shot at Harry, it was obvious that Ron did not want to be reminded that such a girl existed without him.
