Whenever You Call
A/N: Ok, I know it's been like, AGES since I last updated.sorry! And also, I would like to thank all those people who reviewed. You were all so lovely! It means so much to me, you have no idea.THANK YOU!!! I think Cho Chang in the fifth book was a little.well, over the top. . . but never mind, and anyhow, this is *my* fic! Anyhow, on with the fic!
Oh, and by the way, when I say dress robes I think of it as girls wearing dresses and boys wearing robes.
Chapter 5
October turned into November, bringing bitter coldness and snowstorms that often resulted in half the post owls being blown off course. Ron and Hermione still stubbornly refused to admit their feeling towards each other, while Harry just shook his head and thought to himself how thick those two were when it came to each other. He had long since given up trying to make those two realise their feelings for one another, and decided that they would, one day, realise what they had so stubbornly denied for god - knows - how - long. Meanwhile, Harry had been in three more dates with Cho, all of which had gone reasonably well.
However, at the beginning of December, Professor McGonagall announced some startling news to a shocked class one Transfiguration class.
"There will be a Christmas Ball on the Saturday before term ends. Professor Dumbledore was very keen to have it before term finishes, so that everybody will have the opportunities. Dress robes must be worn, and it will start at 8pm and finish at 12pm. Dinner will also be served there. Like the Yule Ball two years ago, you will need a dance partner. Your partners can be in any year and in any house. And stop looking at me like that, it's only a ball, not the end of the world."
"Oh brother," muttered Ron, as they filed out into the corridor after the lesson. "Does that mean we have to go through the agony of asking a girl to the ball again?"
"I guess," replied Harry. "But hey, at least there are no veelas this time. And anyway, why are you worrying about finding a partner? Have you forgotten what Hermione told you to do at the end of the Yule Ball?"
"Huh? What - oh!" said Ron, comprehension dawning on his face and starting to blush.
"What are you two talking about?" said Hermione, hurrying over to them." Ron, what's wrong?"
"He's just remembering what you told him to do after the Yule Ball, " said Harry, smirking.
"What did I - what are you talking about?"
"Have you forgotten? Never mind, Ron'll fill you in, won't you, Ron?"
"Ron? What is he on about?"
"You - you told me - to - to ask you before someone else does and not as a last resort next time there was a ball!" Ron rambled.
"Wh - oh!" said Hermione, her reaction, copying Ron's.
Harry smirked.

Meanwhile, Harry had worries of his own to think about. He remembered the agony of trying to ask Cho to the ball last time.
"But that was then, you weren't going out with her then, " said Ron consolingly when Harry confided in him what had been on his mind for some time while they entered the Great Hall for dinner.
"Why can't they ask us to the ball instead?" Harry groaned.
"Because that's not the way it works . . . it's just some unwritten rule. This is one of those moments when girls just simply have us begging at their feet, I suppose. Where is Hermione, anyway?"
"In the library . . . why?"
"Because - because I wanted to ask her to the ball!" Said Ron in a great big rush. "There. Happy now?"
"Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes!"
"Oh shut up - hey, where're you going?"
Harry dashed off to tell Ginny and then Fred and George what Ron had just told him. All of them smirked - this was the perfect opportunity to get those two together!

"Hey! Hey, Cho!"
Harry fought his way across the crowd after the bell had rung. Cho turned around, and smiled when she saw who it was.
"Hi, Harry!"
"Hi. Umm . . . I wanted to ask you something.
"What?"
"Er - do you want to come to the ball with me?"
"Oh! Yeah, sure!"
"Great!" Harry grinned. Just then, Cho was hailed by one of her Ravenclaw friends, so she had no alternative but to go with them. She smiled and waved, before disappearing.
A/N: So, that was another chapter! Hopefully it won't be so long before the next chapter comes up. Please keep reviewing!
