Three dares finished
Harry led Ginny out to the middle of the dance floor, looking
extremely nervous. He put one hand loosely on her waist, and kept Ginny's hand tightly clasped in his other. Ginny looked into his worried green eyes. 'We don't have to dance,' Ginny said sensitively. 'If you don't want to.' 'I do.' Harry protested. 'It's just, I don't really do dancing.' 'You did at the Yule ball.' Ginny said. 'Only cause I had to!' Harry exclaimed. 'And Parvati was leading!' 'Do you want me to lead?' Ginny said, in a baby voice. 'No, I'm fine.' Harry said, concentrating. 'I'll get it in the end. You'll just have to bear with me.'
'Wow Dean!' Parvati exclaimed, as he twirled her round. 'You're a really good dancer.'
'Of course!' Dean grinned, swinging Parvati out. 'What did you expect?'
'I don't know. Not this!' Parvati said, as she swung back in again. 'I didn't see you dance at the Yule ball.'
'I didn't.' Dean explained. 'But I've had lessons since then.'
'I can see that.' Parvati whispered, as Dean twirled her in, and lent her back in his arms.
'So are we official.' Dean asked.
'I think so.' Parvati smiled.
'So you wanna sneak off to the room of requirement?' Dean charmed.
'Sure do.' Parvati said, and the pair casually left the great hall.
Seamus brought two drinks back to the table, where Lavender still resided. He sat down opposite her once more, and they each took a sip of their drinks.
'So when are we going to tell everyone were going out?' Seamus asked, casually.
'I don't know.' Lavender said, in her day dream voice.
'We can't just slip it into convocation.' Seamus said. 'So nice ball, oh yea by the way, we're now a couple.'
'We were a couple before.' Lavender said, shrugging her shoulders.
'Not a proper one.' Seamus said. 'We just went to the Yule ball together. This is bigger, more important.'
'It is, is it?' Lavender grinned, sexily.
'Yea.' Seamus smiled, taking her hands in his. 'We just have to figure out when to tell them.'
'Or we could just not tell them.' Lavender suggested.
'And you'd be ok with that?' Seamus asked unsure.
'Course.' Lavender said. 'So how about we head off somewhere a bit more private.'
'What! Already?' Seamus exclaimed. 'Not that I'm complaining.'
'Ok, then lets go to the room of requirement.' Lavender said standing.
'What about Hermione and Ron?' Seamus asked.
'I doubt they'll even notice that we've gone.' Lavender said, as they headed to the room of requirement.
Just then, the first slow number of the night started to play. Harry cleared his throat uncomfortably, for a lump had just formed in it.
'We can stop now.' Ginny said, disappointedly. 'I wont ask you to dance anymore.'
'But I'd like to dance.' Harry said, pulling her back.
'Really?' Ginny grinned, like Christmas had come early. 'I didn't think you did dancing.'
'But I know you like to, so.I'd like to too.' Harry said in earnest, pulling his hand on her waist. 'I don't mean to look so uncomfortable. I'm just not sure what to do. '
'You can hold me closer for a start.' Ginny grinned cheekily, and Harry did as he was told.
'Sorry if I'm being an idiot.' Harry said. 'I just don't want to embarrass you.'
'You could never embarrass me.' Ginny smiled.
'But my dancing.'
'I learnt to dance with Ron.' Ginny grinned. 'You can't get worse than that. Anyway, you're doing fine. You don't have to worry.'
'Good.' Harry sighed, pulling Ginny so close, that he could smell the lip gloss on her lips. 'I just want you to have a good time.'
'I'm having a great time.' Ginny whispered, looking up into his innocent green eyes. 'I'm here with you.'
'Here we are.' Dean grinned, opening the door. 'After you.'
Parvati walked into a small room with light pink walls, a large pink bed, and rose petals all around the floor.
'This place is beautiful.' Parvati sighed.
'Not as beautiful as you.' Dean said, holding her hands. 'Let me dim the lights.'
Dean dimmed the lights until they could barely see their hands in front of their faces. He then strolled through the dark, and pulled Parvati onto the bed, which made her squeal. He then drew a line of kisses from her hand, right up to her lips.
'Ladies first.' Seams said, opening the door of the room of requirement. Lavender walked into the dark room, and Seamus closed the door, then pinned her to the wall with a passionate kiss. He then reached for the light switch.
'Arrrrrgh!'
Dean jumped back off of Parvati, and Seamus stepped back from Lavender.
'So that's how you perform the kiss of life.' Dean said, getting of the bed.
'And Lavender.' Seamus said. 'You are defiantly taller.'
Dean gave him a funny look.
'No I'm not buying it either.' Seamus admitted.
'So you guys are, dare I say, a couple?' Parvati grinned.
'A couple of what?' Lavender asked mystified.
'A couple in love.' Seamus answered, taking her hand.
'And you and Dean are too?' Lavender asked.
Both girls squealed, squealed, and ran and gave each other an excited hug.
'Girls, I'll never get them.' Seamus sighed. Lavender ran back and took his hand once more.
'Can we go back to the dance?' Lavender asked.
'Yea, we'll still make it for the last few dances!' Parvati said.
Both boys groaned, as their girlfriends dragged them from the room of requirement, back into the busy hall.
Ron climbed out of the portrait hole. He had looked every where. The girls bathroom, the library, the astronomy tower, Gryffindor Tower. He just couldn't find Hermione. He sighed. He'd been such a prat lately, with the stupid truth of dare game and Lavender. Now all he wanted was for it to end. Ron checked his watch. It would be ending, along with the dance, in 10 minutes. He just hoped he could find her before then.
Ron rounded a corner and found Neville and Luna huddled in a corner. They jumped apart when they heard Ron speak.
'Have either of you two seen Hermione?' Ron asked, sadly.
'Erm, no.' Neville said, clearly embarrassed.
'I'm sure she hasn't passed by here.' Luna stated. 'Would you like us to help you look for her.'
'No, no thanks.' Ron said, as he started to walk away. 'As you were.'
'Erm, Ron.'
Ron stopped.
'If I were you, I'd ask Ginny.' Neville suggested. 'I'm sure she'll know.'
'Thanks Neville.' Ron called back, before pacing quickly back to the great hall.
The last few slow dances were in progression, and Ginny and Harry were still dancing, and if possible, they seemed to be getting even closer.
The two smiling couples arrived back at the hall, and grinned at Harry and Ginny, before going off to dance the rest of the night away.
'You know what.' Ginny said, sweetly.
'What?' Harry said, looking lovingly into her eyes.
'This is the best night of my life.' She said simply, and rested her head on Harry's shoulder. Harry closed his eyes for a moment, and breathed in the cinnamon chocolaty smell, that was Ginny.
'What do you think you're doing!'
It was Ron.
'Take your hands off my sisters rear end!' He yelled.
Ginny lifted her head up, and Harry opened his eyes, yet neither of them moved. Ron just stood looking at them. They looked so perfect. The perfect couple.
'Have either have you two seem Hermione?' Ron asked, nicely and at his usual volume.
They both shook their heads.
'Ginny, tell me where she is.' Ron ordered. 'Or I'll tell Mum where Harry's hand is resting, and I don't think Mum would let him stay round in the summer if she knew.'
'Hermione's by the lake.' Ginny told him.
'Thanks.' Ron said. 'Now carry on dancing! It's nearly the end of the ball.'
Ron left Ginny and Harry very confused.
'Did he just tell us to carry on dancing?' Harry asked.
'Yea.' Ginny said, puzzled. 'Better do as he says.'
Harry led Ginny to the middle of the dance floor.
'I meant what I said before Harry.' Ginny said. 'Tonight has been the most magical night.'
'I know.' Harry said, honestly. 'I wish it didn't have to end.'
Harry looked down at his feet, then back into Ginny's beautiful deep brown eyes.
'Of course, it doesn't have to end.' Harry said, standing still, and taking Ginny's hands in his.
'It doesn't?' Ginny asked.
'No.' Harry said. 'I know this probably isn't the best time, but its now or never. Ginny, I love you.'
Ginny looked up into Harry's honest eyes.
'I love you too.' She said, in nothing more than a whisper.
'Then this night doesn't have to end.' Harry said, seriously. 'We could go out sometime, to Hogsmeade?'
'Sounds great.' Was all Ginny said, for her lips had stopped working. She just smiled, as Harry took her once more into his arms.
Eeeeeeeeee! Super chapter! Remember to review! It doesn't take you long. I review all the stories I read. Ask me, and I'll review yours if ya like!
