Hermione found Ginny sobbing on her bed into her pillow.

"W-why d-d-does h-her l-li-ke h-her? W-will h-h-h-he e-ever l-like m-me?" She managed to sob out.

Hermione sat next to her, and comforting hand on her back. "Of course he will.  He will see that Jadyn is not the girl for him, and that you are.  And you know what? You are going to that Valentine's dance, and you are going to look stunning, and take his breath away.  You will make him forget all about Jadyn."

"I-I d-don't w-want him t-to l-like me for m-me f-for m-my l-looks."

"It will just awaken him to what his missing, and what a wonderful person you really are.  And I know you don't want to go, but next week I will take you to Hogsmeade.  Girls day out."

"T-thanks."

"Any time." Hermione got up, and slipped out of the room.

The week past quickly, and it was finally Valentine's day.  Hermione met up with Ginny in the common room, and told Ron she would meet him at the dance. Ron moaned.  Harry was spending the day with Jadyn (much to Ginny's dislike) and Ron would have noone to hang out with.

"You can come with us," said Hermione "But we are going to be doing girly stuff."

Ron swore. "What other option do I have?" he asked.

"Spending the day alone."

"Ugh, then I'll have to go with you."

"You make spending time with me sound like such a pain."

"It is." He joked.  Hermione hit him upside the head.

"OW!"

"Serves you right. Let's go! You ready, Ginny?"

"Yeah, sure…" she said quietly.

Hermione looked at Ginny with pity, and lead them out.

They arrived at Hogsmeade twenty minutes later.  Ginny caught a glimpse of Harry and Jadyn  entering Madam Pudifoot's. She sighed.  Hermione diverted her attention.

"Look, there's Madam Maulkins…she has stored everywhere, lets go in and find you the perfect outfit!"

"Sure…whatever." Ginny said.

"Come on, Ron. Don't you need new dress robes?"

"I got some from Fred and George…I wonder why…"

"Wanna come in with us anyway?"

"No, I'll meet you here in an hour…." He gave her a quick kiss and headed to Quality Quidditch Supplies. (A/N: I'm making the same stores here as there are in Diagon Alley…and there is nothing you can do about it! *sticks tongue out*)

Hermione and Ginny entered the shop, and immedietly someone rushed over.

"What can I do for you?" she asked.

"We need the perfect dress robes for the Valentine's Dance tonight." Hermione said. "Especially her, she needs to win the heart of a certain someone." Hermione pointed to Ginny.

"Ahh, yes." Said the saleslady. "Come with me." She lead them to where the dress robes were kept. "I think that it would be best for you to go with a purple colored robe." She said to Hermione. "And for the other young lady, a white colored robe would be perfect. We have many different styles. Do you need anymore assistance?"
"I think we can handle it from here," Hermione said. "If we need more assistance we will call you."

The saleslady rushed away to help another group of girls that were coming in.

Hermione and Ginny both went over to the racks of clothing that were the color the saleslady recommended.

Hermione picked up a dress and examined it.  It was perfect.  She went into the changing stalls and tried it on. 

"Wow," said Ginny when she saw her.

The robe clung to all the right places, and flowed down into a short train. Hermione twirled. "You think Ron will like it?"

"Of course! Now help me…"

Hermione quickly looked though the robes. "This is perfect!"

"I don't know…" said Ginny.

"Come on, try it on."

Ginny did so. "It looks horrible, doesn't it she asked.

Hermione gasped. "You look beautiful!"

Ginny looked in the mirror, she has to agree…she couldn't believe it was her.  She thought her self to be rather ugly, even though that's the opposite of what everyone told her.

The dress was a little tight, but not too tight, at the chest.  It flowed down into a long lose poofy skirt, with long baggy sleeves. (A/N: Think Arewn from Lord of the Rings dress style kinda…) White roses were embroidered along the hem.

They both changed back into their regular robes, and paid for them.  "Now we need to buy everything else…" Hermione said.

It was seven, and time for the ball.  All of the guys sat in the common room, waiting for the girls.  Harry wore green dress robes, matching his eyes.  Ron's were also green, and totally clashed with his eyes.

The girls finally came down the stairs.  Hermione had her new dress robe on, and her hair was in a bun, with purple roses around it.  Ginny's hair had been curled (Well waved or something…) and she worse it down, and it flowed down her shoulders.  Ron greeted Hermione with a kiss, and Harry could not help but stare at Ginny. Next, came Jadyn.  Her hair was in a braid, and she wore dark blue robes.  Harry tore his gaze away from Ginny, and offered his arm to Jadyn.  He could not believe how beautiful Ginny was.

The two couples and Ginny (who went alone) walked over to the Great Hall, which was beautifully decorated for the occasion.

Pink and red hearts fell from the ceiling, and little cupids were flying around.  The band that had been hired, The Weird Sisters, could be seen setting up on the makeshift stage.  They started with a slow song, and all the couples went out onto the dance floor.  Ginny quietly went over to a table, and sat down by herself.  With her head in her hands, she looked over at Harry.  She saw that he was dancing with Jadyn in his arms, and he was looking at her adoringly.  Her eyes swelled up with tears. Why couldn't it be her that was in Harry's arms.  There was a few more songs.  Sick of seeing Harry and Jadyn together, she got up to leave.

"Wait!" Hermione called, rushing over. "Where are you going? You need to make Harry notice you!"

"He only has eyes for Jadyn," Ginny said Horsley and quietly.  Her face was stained with tears. "I'm leaving." She headed for the exit, tears flowing freely down her cheeks.

A hand grabbed her arm. "Wait, where are you going?" She heard a deep, warm comforting voice say.  She would recognize that voice anywhere. It was Harry.
