Chapter 1
Harry's Apartment
"Dobby! What are you doing here?" asked Harry as he put down his reading book on the table in front of the fireplace.
"Harry, sir, may Dobby tell Harry Potter something?" asked Dobby, he looked very worried, Harry noticed.
"Sure Dobby,"
"Dobby and Winky..." he paused unsure of himself.
"Yes?"
"Well Dobby wants to ask to marry Winky, sir."
"That's great Dobby!" exclaimed Harry, he patted Dobby's shoulder.
"Yes, sir it is great, but Dobby is worried I am." Dobby's shoulders slumped a little. Harry frowned.
"Why are you worried Dobby?" asked Harry.
"Dobby is worried he is, that Winky will say no." Tears welled in the corners of the eyes of the house elf.
"That's silly Dobby! Winky won't say no, you know that." Harry said trying to comfort Dobby.
"Really?" asked Dobby hope lifting in the elf's heart.
"Of course," Harry smiled warmly.
"Will Harry help Dobby sir?" asked Dobby, Harry nodded.
"I will and I will try to get Hermione's help, she's a girl she'll know what to do." Replied Harry, smiling at the thought of Hermione, he had a crush on her since the seventh year at Hogwarts. But he never treated Hermione any different and never acted different around her luckily for him.
"OH THANK YOU!" said a very happy house elf while hugging Harry, Harry laughed.
"You're welcome Dobby." Harry laughed, "You're welcome."
Next Day around 11 AM; Hermione's Apartment
"Well Hermione, will you help me help Dobby and me?" Harry asked putting on his puppy face. Hermione groaned in response.
"Do you always have to do that?" asked Hermione covering her eyes, but Harry could see a smile form on her lips.
"Of course," replied Harry laughing.
"Yes, yes..." she replied laughing too. "I'll help you Harry."
"Thank you, madam of knowledge," Harry teased.
"Oh Harry!" Hermione sighed.
"What?" Harry asked as he got closer and closer while lifting his hands up in front of his chest.
Hermione squealed as she knew what was coming. She tried to get up from the chair she was sitting at but couldn't as Harry started to tickly her. She screamed and laughed and tried to get away from Harry put couldn't.
About 10 minutes later both Harry and Hermione were laughing themselves to tears as they tried to tickle each other.Same Day around 3 PM; Ginny's Apartment
Ginny sighed in happiness. It was Neville's and hers fourth year being together. For their anniversary Neville was taking her out to a restaurant. She loved him so much.
She is going to tell him that she, Ginevra Molly Weasley loves Neville Frank Longbottom tonight at the restaurant.
'I'm a little nervous about it, but that's normal right?' Ginny thought looking at her self.
"Right" Ginny said out loud. Her stomach growled, she didn't have any lunch yet as she was preparing herself for that night.
"I'm going to the Ice Cream Parlor." she said as she grabbed her purse, walked out of her apartment building, locked the door, then walked to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor.
Same Day around 4; the Front Desk at Longbottom's Dwelling
"Hilary?" asked Neville looking at the red haired and brown eyed girl.
"Yes Neville?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure can boss!" said Hilary smiling, "What do you want to ask?"
"Well I know you're not completely close to Ginny but well..." he paused afraid to ask.
"What about Ginny?" asked Hilary, looking at her sweating boss. She giggled; he usually does this if it deals with something important, 'I wonder,' she thought to her self smiling wickedly.
"Well," he paused again "do you think," another pause "that maybe Ginny" yet another pause "loves me?" He gulped and put his head down. He hoped Hilary says yes.
"Oh that's why you're sweating!" Hilary laughed and said, "Of course she loves you! I can so tell. Don't worry!"
Neville sighed in relief. "Thanks so much Hilary!" He ran to his office.
Same day; around 5; Hogwarts Kitchen
"Hello Winky!" Dobby said happily, kissing her cheek.
"Hello Dobby!" Winky smiled.
"Winky want to go have dinner tonight?" asked Dobby shyly, "with Dobby alone?"
"Of course Winky wants to Dobby!"
"Really Winky?"
"Yes!" She smiled and kissed his cheek and then wet off to prepare the Hogwarts students and staffs dinners. Dobby rushed off the other way and started to help the other house elves.
