Chapter 5-In which Gina and Ron get together
/¤~¤~¤~¤\

*Halloween Night*

Gina and Ron had become good friends and talked in the empty common room often. They shared most everything, and were now in the common room right after the feast, with only Neville.

"Where's Ginny and Harry?" asked Ron.

"On a date." Replied Gina gloomily.

"Fred and Angelina?"

"Date."

"George and Alicia?"

"Date."

"Hermione and Seamus?"

"Date."

"Parvati and Dean?"

"Date."

Ron sighed heavily, then flopped down next to her on the couch.

"Should we stay up and wait?"

"Why? They'll be too busy to talk to us. You know what they'll be doing. It'll only make us puke up our insides."

Does this not seem a little pathetic to you?"

"Only a little."

"Do you want to make it seem a little less pathetic?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean everyone else has a date, why not us?"

Gina slapped him.

"What?"

"You want to go out with me just because everyone else was going out with someone"

"No, it's just Harry said you'd never go out with me, so I decided to ask you anyway."

"So our relationship would be based on a bet."

"No, Gina-"

"All you see in me is big boobs, a pretty face, and popularity." She yelled.

She ran up to her dormitory, slammed the door, and buried her face in her pillow.

Ron started to chase after her, then thought the better of it, and decided he'd wait until she'd cooled off a little. Gina was very glad of this, it gave her time to think of what she was going to say.

After a half an hour, Ron went up the stairs and knocked on the door.

He waited and no one answered, so he just went in. He knew it was against the rules, but the only people there were him, Neville, and Gina, and he knew they wouldn't tell.

Gina was lying motionless in her bed. Ron walked over and sat on the edge next to her.

"Gi, come on, I know you aren't sleeping."

Gina rolled over.

"You're right."

"Look,"

No, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have yelled at you. I should have slapped you. I should have believed you. I feel so bad."

"It's okay."

"No, it's not okay. I yelled at you. I yelled at my best friend. I am so sorry. I have just had a horrid day, and I got out of control."

"Apology accepted," he smiled at her. "So, you want to tell me what happened today that was so bad?"

"Well, first I got a detention in divination for mouthing off to the teacher, then, Draco told me that all of the boys that asked me out only wanted to use me because I'm popular and pretty. And to top it all off, Draco found out that my real name is Gianna. It's just been really crappy." She started crying.

"Shhh." He said, hugging her. "Those boys weren't just using you, they were entranced by your vibes. And, if it helps, I think Gianna is a very pretty name. Plus, detention isn't that bad. I'll try to get one too. Feel better?"

"Yeah, thanks." He kissed her forehead.

"Do you believe me now when I say that I want to go out with you?"

"Yeah,"

"And you say."

"Of course I will. But let's try not to make a big deal of it. The only people who know are. well, just keep it on the DL aiight? Oh, and I don't want to jump right in like Harry and Ginny."

"Great. Well , I should try to get to sleep before Harry gets back."

"Kay. Goodnight."

"Night." He reached for the door and Gina said, "Ron?"

"Yeah?"

"You'll go to the Christmas ball with me won't you?"

"You betcha."

"Thanks."

*A week before Christmas*

"I have and announcement to make," said Dumbledore one evening at dinner. "As of today there are only seven days till Christmas. Those of you who are going home, which by the way, the head of your house will come around with the sign up sheet tonight, will come around with the sign up sheet for tonight, will be leaving in four days. So, in three days, we will be having a Christmas ball. Now, some of you have already heard about this because you are friends with some of the teachers who helped set it up," Professor Lupin winked at them, "and already have partners. But the rest if you better get a move on. Thank you for your time."

"We so found out about this ages ago." said Ginny.

"Yeah thanks to our werewolf, Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, and friend, Moony." Added Gina.

"It's obvious Ginny and Hermione are going with me and Seamus, but what about Gina and Ron?" asked Harry.

"Oh, we both have partners," said Gina smiling mischievously.

"Oooh, who?"

"Someone," they said in unison.

"Who?" asked Harry, obviously not catching on.

"Oh, give it up, I'm not telling you," said Ron.

"Oh my gosh! I get it!" shrieked Ginny, nudging Gina, and glancing pointedly at Ron. Gina nodded excitedly.

"What? Do tell," said Harry.

"Sorry hun, you're just gonna hafta wait until the ball."

"You girl, are going to be the death of me."

"Why thank you." she kissed him.

"Ugh. Let's go up to the dormitory. Professor McGonagall needs to know we're going to Sirius' for the holidays."

"They got up to go to the common room, and Ron said, "Actually, I was wondering if you guys could come home to the Burrow with us this year. Mum just informed us you were all welcome because Fred and George are going to Lee's, and she's expecting a baby right around Christmas."

"Oh my Gol!" screamed Gina. "I love your house! I am so there!"

"Yeah, count me in," said Harry.

"Sorry guys, but 'Mione's coming to my house," said Seamus.

*Later that night*

"Gina, Gina, get in here pronto!" Harry yelled to her from his dormitory.

"I'm coming," she yelled back.

"Harry! What the hell do you think you're doing? You just called Gina in here, and I'm only half dressed," Exclaimed Ron, who was wearing only a pair of plaid, flannel pants.

"Uh, I case you haven't noticed, I am too."

"Yeah, but you're her brother."

"Hey, what's up?" asked Gina waltzing in. Then she spotted Ron. "Oh, ****, maybe I should go." She blushed and looked away.

"No, it's all right."

"Yeah, you better get used to it. That's how he walks around the house all the time." Said Ginny who just came in. "So, what's so important that you had to pull Gina away from our makeup party?"

"I just got this letter from Sirius. You gotta check it out."

Gina read it first, screamed, and handed it to Ginny. When Ginny finished it, she said, "Can you believe it?"

"No, Sirius is so cool," said Gina.

"And he's paying for it all?"

"Yuppers."

"Will someone please tell me what's going on?" asked Ron who hadn't read the letter yet.

"Okay, here's the dealy. Your mom is having on Christmas right?" she didn't wait for him to answer. "Right. Sirius figures your mom should have some time off you kids. So. he's sending the four of us to Jamaica."

"Jamaica? Seriously?"

"Yup."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" They all screamed happily.

"He's arranging a portkey the day after Christmas, until the 2nd of January, when we go back to school. He's rented us a bungalow on the beach. There's no one else around, and Sirius trusts us so much he's not even coming with us." Said Harry.

"Wow, I have got to remember to thank him." Said Ron.

"I bet Hermione wishes she wasn't going with Seamus now."

*The day of the dance*

It was a Saturday, so there were no classes that day. It was also lunch time, and the students were louder than ever.

Harry, Seamus, and Hermione were trying to get Ron to tell him who he was going with to the dance, while Gina and Ginny were dancing around, singing, "We're going to Jamaica, we're going to Jamaica!"

"Guys, please, calm down. We have to leave soon." Hermione said to Gina and Ginny.

"Leave? Where are you going?" asked Harry.

"Shopping. It's noon now, the ball is at 8:00. We'll be in Hogsmeade for about three hours, so that gives us. 5 hours to get ready. Gosh, we really better get going, we're going to be on a tight schedule." Said Gina.

Harry rolled his eyes. "Chicks."
