Chapter 15
"Hi,guys,"Jane said,pushing Harry over so she could sit next to Ron.
"Hey!"Harry protested,as Jane snagged a cinnamon bun from his plate.
Ron was blushing;when Jane had sat down,her hand had brushed against his.
"Morning,Ron,"Jane said as she grabbed a piece of bacon from his plate.
"My,you sure are eating a healthy breakfast!"Hermione said.
"I know it!"Jane said.
"Move over,you prat,"Jean said,pushing Neville over so she could sit beside Ginny,opposite of Ron.
Neville didn't seem to mind;he had been pushed closer to Fleur,who was sitting on his right side.Fleur took no notice of this and carried on her animated conversation with Seamus.
"So,what are we going to do today?"Hermione asked Harry.
"Well,last night Dumbledore said that we could go to Hogsmeade all this week.Maybe we could go there and mess around.Go see Fred and George at their joke shop,"Harry suggested.
"Fine by me,"Hermione said,buttering a biscuit.
********************
Ginny dug through her closet.She had nothing to wear.She wanted to look especially nice for her "date" with Draco.'Well,if you don't have what you need,you can always Transfigure something,'Ginny reasoned.She plucked her wand out of her pocket.
"Ekin esor,"Ginny said and pointed her wand at the dress she had on her bed.The gray dress changed into a slinky black dress made of silk.She fingered the necklace around her neck.It was a pheonix.Harry had given it to her in his fifth year.They had been going out at that time.She wore it because she would never forget the flight from the chamber.
The door opened and Hermione walked in.
"Hey,Gin.That's a nice dress.Where'd you get it?"Hermione said.
"Oh,I made it.Well,actually,I changed a gray dress into that,"Ginny said,nodding at the dress.
"That's cool,"Hermione said.
"Yeah.I took some extra classes from Professor McGonagall last year.This is one of the complex Transfigurations,"Ginny said.
"Harry and I are going to go to Hogsmeade now.Would you like to come with us?"Hermione asked,unaware of Ginny's plan to meet Draco.
"Nah.I'll probably be down later.Don't do anything I wouldn't do,"Ginny said with a playful grin.
"Don't worry.I will,"Hermione said and she bounced out of the dorm.
Ginny watched her go and then pulled off her necklace.She went over to the jewelry box on her dresser.She rummaged through it for something that would look georgeous with her dress.Finally,she found the perfect necklace.It had a tiny perfect heart with a diamond in the center and it hung delicately around her neck on a thin chain.Her brothers had saved up all their money last year and bought it for her on her birthday.She remembered how delighted she had been to get it and how glad her brothers had been to give it to her.
She walked back over to the bed and looked at the dress carefully.She decided it needed a little more appeal.Ginny grabbed the dress and ripped a seam open to were it would show some skin.Not to much but not enough to make her look slutty.
"Rettelnac!"Ginny cried.The seam made itself look like it was a natural part of the dress.Ginny smiled.She looked down at her watch.'Hell!Only an hour to get ready!And I have to shower!Shit!'Ginny mentally cursed herself.She ran to the girls' bathroom and turned the shower on full blast.'How could I have been so careless?'she thought.
********************
Harry walked hand in hand with Hermione along the road that led to Hogsmeade.He had owled earlier to reserve a table for lunch in a quaint little Italian place called Mondo's.He smiled;he hoped Hermione would like it.He himself had never been in there but Sirius had suggested it.Harry had wanted to do something special for his girl.Sirius had also told him that it was where his mom and dad had gone on their first date.After lunch,they could go on a walk in the woods behind the Italian restaurant.He'd been reading a book on Hogsmeade.Every year,there was this tree and it would be covered in cocoons and every year on September second,the butterflies would erupt from their cocoons in a brilliant display of colors.Harry hoped that he and Hermione would be able to see this for themselves.
********************
Ginny paced by the lakeshore.'Ah,there he is,'she thought,watching Draco's blonde head walk bob through the masses towards her.He weaved his way through a throng of Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs.'He moves like...well,I don't know what he moves like,but it's rather arrogant and I know he doesn't give a damn about what people think about him.But hell,I'm attracted to him and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it.My brothers can just learn to live with it because I don't think this is puppy love,'Ginny thought.
"Hi,georgeous!"Malfoy said as he walked up to her.
"Georgeous?Isn't it a little early for the pet names?"Ginny asked,winking at him.
"Er,sorry.I just couldn't resist,"Draco said,a smile playing across his face.
"It's ok.I'll let it pass THIS time.But next time,"Ginny wagged a finger at him,"You might just find yourself in a situation you can't help!"
"I will,will I?You don't know me well enough to know how I'll handle a situation,"Draco said,a mischievious glint in his eyes,much like one the twins would get when they were plotting something.
"C'mon,let's go,"Draco said and offered his arm to her.She hesitated for a moment and then linked her arm through his.
Draco smiled;he had owled a little place his father had recommended for good Italian food.It was called Mondo's.
Draco had noticed it on previous visits to Hogsmeade,but had never taken anyone there or even been in there himself.
********************
Jane walked with her twin down the road to Hogsmeade.She hadn't seen Ron all morning.She heard puffing behind them and Ron apperared quite suddenly.
"Hi!"Ron said with a smile,"I thought I'd see you in Hogsmeade but I didn't imagine I'd be seeing you before I got there."
"Well,I didn't think I'd be seeing you so soon,either,"Jane said.
"Mind if I join you?It's sure a brilliant day.I'll show you the sights,if you like,"Ron said.
"That'd be great,Ron,"Jane said.
Quite suddenly,Dean appeared out of nowhere.
"Ron!I didn't expect to meet you here,in the middle of the road to Hogsmeade,"Dean said.
"Well,Dean,I didn't think you'd be here.From the way you were snoring when I left,I didn't think you'd be up for another couple of hours,"Ron said.
"I don't snore!"Dean protested.
"I don't believe you've met Jean and Jane,have you?They are transfers from the U.S.,"Ron said.
"Well,I admired their beauty at the dinner table last night but that isn't quite the same as being introduced,is it?"
Dean said.
"Well,it's nice to have met you,"Jean said and linked her arm through Dean's,"Tell me more about yourself."
Ron grinned.This was working out great.He'd talked to Dean last night.Dean had wanted to talk Jean;he'd heard her talking about soccer,and since he was a fan,thought she'd be great to know.They had made plans to meet on the road after Jean and Jane had left and Ron had caught up with them,Dean would appear and start up a conversation with Jean.Ron would take Jane off to lunch at a little Italian place.Dean had made reservations there,as well.So they would eat lunch at this little place and then maybe just wander around the village for a little bit.Neither Ron nor Dean had made any plans for after lunch.So they could just blow around like tumbleweeds in the wind.Ron liked that expression,tumbleweeds in the wind.
