After Ron had beaten him for the millionth time he gave up and sat and waited for Ginny and Hermione. Ron had of course asked Hermione to go, but Harry hadn't suggested they go to Madam Puddifoot's as Ginny would be nervous around Ron.
Around eight o'clock Ginny and Hermione walked down the steps together Harry looked up as they came in. They were both very beautiful, Hermione of course in a friendly sort of way. Harry took Ginny's arm and they began walking to the main hall where everyone else who was going had already gathered. Filch checked their names off on the list and they got into line to wait for the carriages down to Hogsmeade.
Harry and Ginny took a carriage alone, as did Ron and Hermione. This was Harry's one and probably only chance to be completely alone with her the entire day. He took advantage of the situation, scooting very close to her, he was relieved when she moved closer to him and snuggled up against him. He put his arm around her shoulders, bringing her as close as she could come. Hoping that he was keeping her warm in the cold winter weather.
Turning his head and putting it on top of hers, he looked out the side of the carriage, watching the lake glisten under the ice. It was strange how well their body's fit together in that position, but it was a good strange. She laid her head against his chest and he looked at her, how could life get any better. She turned and looked up at him, smiling, seeming to think the same thing as he was. Taking the opportunity he leaned his head in and their lips met, he wrapped his arms around her holding her close. This time, he was daring and parted his lips and hers with his tongue, she seemed surprised by this, but went along with it. He tickled the top of her mouth with his tongue and heard her giggle. They teased each other in this way until they were almost there, finally pulling away from each other just as the carriages were turning into Hogsmeade.
The two met up with Ron and Hermione, the red head's hand placed almost protectively around Hermione's waist. They all decided to go separate ways, after some pleading looks to Ron from Harry. Ron and Hermione started walking away toward the Three Broomsticks as Harry and Ginny turned to go to Madam Puddifoot's.
When they arrived Ginny's eyes lit up as they walked in and she saw the little elves throwing snow from the ceiling as it disappeared just before it hit the heads of the other couples sitting at the small tables in the café. Madam Puddifoot bustled over to the two Gryffindors and led them to one of the tables and gave them menus. Ginny glanced at hers for a moment, deciding just to order a latte, Harry did the same. They sat and talked for what seemed like forever, Harry noticed that she was a lot easier to talk to now that he was used to the fact that they were more than just friends.
After leaving the café they walked up and down the streets occasionally going into shops. Harry had kept asking her if she wanted anything but she had always turned him down politely. When they went into a jewelry shop though, she began eyeing some of the necklaces and charms in the long glass cases. Harry grabbed his mother's ring and the jeweler looked at him suspiciously.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but could you take a look at this and tell me what you think of it?" He unclasped the chain and took off the ring, handing it to the woman. Ginny had wandered off to look at the rest of the shop.
The witch took the ring and put a jewelers loop into her eye, staring at it with scrutiny.
"My my, where did you get this ring dear?" Her eyes flashed up to the scar on his forehead but didn't say a word.
"Well, it was my mother's wedding ring, why do you ask?" He said, not really thinking anything of her staring at his scar, he was used to it.
"Well, this is a very special diamond. When an incantation is said it can tell you the physical status of any person in the world."
The woman's words had taken him aback, he could tell if someone was dead or alive, just by saying a few words.
He looked at the woman, begging her to go on. "Well, the stone is called a Status Diamond, and they are very, very rare. The owner says the incantation, concentrating very hard on the person who they want to know the status of, and the stone will turn different colors depending on how the person is. If they are fine and healthy, it is bright green, when they are on the edge of death, it is red, and when they are dead, it is black."
Harry looked as if he had been stunned, he owned one of the rarest and most valuable stones in the wizarding world. As he was about to as the witch was the incantation was Ginny came up to him and tugged on his robes. He took the ring back, placing it carefully on the chain around his neck, thanking the witch and following Ginny to where she was dragging him.
"Oh Harry, wait till you see it! You'll love it too!" She said, dragging him by his robes
She stopped by a large glass case with chains and charms hanging from the hooks inside. Pointing to one of the golden necklaces and saying, "I like that one."
Harry looked at it, it was a small golden snitch that was fluttering its wings but not moving anywhere. It really was pretty, and he ushered one of the sales witches over. He pointed to the hook where the tiny golden snitch fluttered.
"I'll take that one please."
"Oh Harry!" She hugged him tightly.
"Thank you so much!" She said, her words muffled by his chest.
The sales witch sold the necklace to Harry (50 galleons), and he put it on Ginny, loving the smile that was on her face.
The jeweler's words were still running through his head as they walked out of the shop hand in hand, toward the three broomsticks. It was already 4 o'clock and they had told Ron and Hermione to meet them there at 4:15.
They got a table and Harry ordered two butterbeers as they waited for their friend's to return. They came in about ten minutes later, cheeks bright red, but smiling. Ginny didn't say anything about her new necklace, in fact that she had put it into her sweater so that you could only glimpse of the golden chain around her neck. He found it almost endearing that they had a secret that no one else knew about.
"So Ron, what did you do today?" Harry asked, trying to make conversation in the loud tavern.
"Well, most of the time we just went window shopping and all that, but it got bloody cold after a while, so we went to…well we went to the inn and got a room."
Harry's jaw dropped, and so did Ginny's. Hermione turned a violent shade of red and Ron looked at her.
"Oh Harry, no, we didn't do anything like that at all! We just lit the fire and talked for a while. That's all." He said, looking at the floor. Harry could tell that he was lying, but didn't want to believe it.
They sat in silence for the rest of the time until it was time to go, when they stood up Harry noticed that both of their cloaks were very wrinkled, and Hermione's hair seemed a lot messier than he what it should have been. He pushed the thoughts out of his head as he stepped into the carriage after helping Ginny up. They went back to what they were doing on the way down. Although Harry's brain was still spinning from everything that had happened that day. The diamond, Ron and Hermione, and the way that he had kissed Ginny earlier.
