Moving Up In Relationships

Ships: Dobby/Winky, Harry/Hermione, Neville/Ginny

Thanks to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! Having 19 reviews is so cool! LOL

Also sorry for not updating yesterday or Monday, apparently my mom surprised me shopping, oh yeah! I did not say that in a happy tone either. Therefore, I am sorry! Hope you like this chapter as much or more then the other two.

Lady Emily= the one I mentioned is the current first name for Ginny. On JK Rowling's Official Website stated that Ginevra is her full name, so Virginia is in fact the wrong name for Ginny.

Please Read and then, please REVIEW nicely!

Chapter 3

Ginny and Hilary; Longbottom's Dwelling's Front Desk:

"Do you love Neville?" Hilary asked. Ginny's eyes showed her surprise at the question, Ginny gulped and looked around them. She sighed in relief; no one was there.

"Will you tell anyone?" asked Ginny looking straight into Hilary's eyes.

"I won't tell a soul Ginny." Hilary promised, "Now yes or no?"

"Yes, I love him." Ginny was surprised when all of a sudden Hilary was by her side and hugging her. Hilary squealed like a little girl.

"Oh I knew I was right!" Hilary said smiling as Ginny tugged out of the hug and smiled at Ginny. Ginny in returned her smile.

"You knew?" asked Ginny, 'Am I that obvious?' Ginny thought to herself.

"Well, I've seen the way you looked at him, day-dreamed about him and talked about him. I didn't know for sure until like 10 seconds ago!" Hilary hugged Ginny again. "Oh you and Neville look like such a great couple! I can't wait to find a person I want to spend the rest of my life with."

"Yeah," Ginny smiled at her, "don't worry, you'll find that person."

"You think?" questioned Hilary smiling shyly.

"Of course" Ginny stated. "I'm going to my room to get changed for dinner tonight. I think I'm going to confess to Neville." Ginny walked away backwards, waving at Hilary before turning around and heading towards the stairs. "Bye!"

"Good luck girl!" called Hilary waving, Ginny turned back and smiled at her.

Dobby, Harry and Hermione; Hermione's Kitchen:

"Dobby, what are you doing in here?" asked Hermione as she and Harry walked into her kitchen. Dobby turned around from making two plates of chicken and ham sandwiches and two bottles of Butterbeer and a small glass of water to Harry and Hermione.

"Hey they look good," Harry stated grabbing a sandwich that Dobby held out to him. Hermione glared at him.

"Thank you Harry Potter, sir." Thanked Dobby and he held out Hermione's plate. Harry nodded as he took a piece.

"Mmm..." Harry took a few more bites of his sandwich. Hermione shook her head at Harry and then turned to Dobby.

"Anyway, why did you make these?" asked Hermione taking a bite afterwards. 'Pretty good,' Hermione thought to herself.

"Well, Hermione, Dobby thought you and Harry Potter would like something to eat he did because of all the yelling." Answered Dobby, Hermione and Harry nodded in understanding.

"Thanks," Harry stated for both himself and Hermione.

"Well we're finished with yelling currently," Hermione said. Dobby nodded. Hermione and Harry both took a sip of their own Butterbeer.

"Well, let's go back to the living room," Said Harry putting his empty plate on the counter table.

"Alright," Hermione replied and walked out of the room with Harry and Dobby following her.

Winky; Her and Dobby's room in Hogwarts:

"I wonder what I should wear," Winky said to her self as she looked between a few nice cloths Hermione made her.

Winky, like Dobby likes to wear clothing, she knows she will not be fired because Hermione wasn't her master she was her friend.

Winky, after much thought, picked out a slightly dirty white simple dress. Hermione had given her it last year for Christmas.

Neville; His Apartment:

Neville sighed in relief. He had his robes and got his hair trimmed. What else does he need to do?

He made a mental list in his mind:

Get ready; convince himself to tell Ginny I love her, call Ginny to see if she was ready, pick her up and then head over to the restaurant.

"I can do this. I can do this." Neville repeated repeatedly in his head as he got changed.

Dobby, Harry and Hermione; Hermione's Living Room:

"Well you said you wanted to ask her tonight right?" asked Hermione, wanting to confirm it.

"Yes," Dobby nodded.

"Alright, we just have to think of something special to come up with." Hermione thought taking a sip from her Butterbeer, "Harry any ideas?"

Harry thought for a minute. "Only a nice and a romantic dinner, made by us of course, then they could go sit under the stars and Dobby can pop the question."

"Of course. Great idea Harry." Hermione smiled at Harry who blushed lightly barely noticeable.

"Thanks," Harry replied then turned to Dobby. "What do you think?"

"Very good idea Harry Potter, sir. Dobby wouldn't have thought of that he wouldn't." Dobby nodded his head then took another sip of his water.

"Okay so it's set. Harry and I will make a dinner for you and Winky at Harry's house as he has a balcony. And after you both eat you, Dobby will ask Winky to marry you." Hermione said the plan to them. All three nodded to each other. "Any Questions?"

Well how was it? Short? Boring? Dumb? Good? Okay?

I hope someone likes it. Don't worry it'll probably be updated tomorrow or the next day!
