Chapter 24: Planning prt 1
" Ginny. I just wanted to tell you that." Harry started to say, but Ginny cut him off, " No Harry.don't say it.. I don't want to know.." Ginny ran out of the room. " Ginny!" Harry yelled after her. He chased her out of the portrait and followed her down into the corridors. He finally caught up with her and grabbed her wrist. " Ginny! Listen to me!" Harry said, spinning her around to face him. " I love you. I always have. But when Hermione and Draco got together I got jealous and forgot that I loved you. but now. now I can bring it out in the open!" Ginny smiled and hugged Harry's neck. " I love you." She whispered. " And I, you." Harry replied. Ginny looked him in the eye and they kissed.
** The Next Day**
Hermione laughed as Draco flipped some first years off for staring at them. " Don't do that." Hermione said in between laughs. " Why not?" " Because you'll set a bad example out for them!" Hermione complained. She and Draco were out on the grounds and were sitting under a tree near the lake. Hermione was sitting between Draco's legs, facing the lake. Draco was, too, facing the lake, but had his arms around Hermione. ( If that confused you, I tried to make it where it wouldn't but I really couldn't find a good way to explain!!!! Sorry ^.~) " So. They've been here. what? 2, 3, 4 months? They know not to mess with me and my girl." Draco said, kissing Hermione's neck. " That's so retarded, Draco. I can take care of myself." She joked. " No you can't! Plus, I'LL protect you. You won't protect yourself." " Just shut up. We came here to plan the ball! Remember?" Hermione leaned back and Draco smiled, " No, I did NOT forget! I'm just enjoyed this loving extremely cold November day!!" Draco said, standing up. Hermione fell on her back and stared up into the extremely cloudy sky. " I love the cold weather. IT means snow! Yeah! SNOW FIGHTS!!" She screamed pretty loudly. Everyone outside turned to stare at her. " uh.. HI!!!" She yelled rather silly. The people shook their heads and went inside, as if afraid of the girl who was lying on her back, staring at the sky screaming, 'Snow Fights!'. " Are you okay?" Draco asked. " No." She said, grabbing his hand. He pulled her up and she hugged his arm. " I'm cold!!" She said absentmindly. Draco removed his cloak and put it around her shoulders. "So, what's the Christmas ball gonna be based on?" Draco asked. "I was thinking maybe regular Christmas." " No!" Hermione exclaimed. " Why not?" Draco asked her. " Because! It can't just be regular! Let's do something fantastic and weird!! AND wild." Hermione giggled. " Well. what's your idea?" " Maybe we could do an inside swimming party!!" Hermione said. " Where the hell would we get the pool?" Draco asked. Hermione giggled, " We could use the one that me and you found.." " Shit.. Why'd you have to bring that up, again?" " I dunno, okay, let's get serious. We could do that for the 5th to 7th years and then for the 4th years and under we could do a regular formal Christmas ball!! Sound good to you?" " You and your weird ideas." Draco said, shaking his head. Hermione hit him on the arm playfully. " Thanks! Your idea is lame though. We should do something nobody has done before!" She claimed. " OKAY! Chill out!" Draco said, actually afraid of her weirdness." OK! I will!!! Now, lets see, if we're gonna do the swimming thing, then all the girls will have to wear a one piece bathing suit." " AW!!!! COME ON!!!" Draco complained. " FINE! All 5th years have to wear a one piece. Happy?" " Extremely." He smiled. " So... since we got that planned, we need to ask and figure how we're going to make the pool look kinda Christmassy." Hermione said as she and Draco entered the castle.
Professors Kirkland, McGonnagal, and Flitwick all sat in the teacher's lounge, sipping hot chocolate while the fire before them blazed. * knock, knock* " Come in!" Flitwick called. Hermione and Draco entered the lounge, their cheeks flushed from the cold air that had been hitting their face. " Yes? What brings you to the teacher's lounge?" { I don't know if it's called the teacher's lounge or the professor's lounge or w/e sorry if it's wrong!!!} " We think we may have a good idea for the Christmas ball." Hermione beamed. " Well?" Kirkland asked. " WE figure that the 5th years and up could, uh, have a swimming pool party in the private pool." Hermione said anxiously. " I believe that's a wonderful idea Miss Granger." Someone said from behind them. Hermione smiled and turned, " Why thank you, Professor Dumbledore!" Dumbledore couldn't help but smile as Hermione continued about her idea. " We should have at least two chaperones. 5th year girls will wear a one piece. That's mandatory. 6th and 7th years can wear a two-piece if they wish. We could set up a room near the pool for refreshments and such." Draco grasped Hermione's hand and gave it a small squeeze. She smiled brightly as the professors talked amidst themselves. " Okay Mrs. Granger. You have a budget for this. You and the other Prefects will go to Hogsmeade next Saturday to get most of everything you'll need. I want you to get the 5th year prefects to plan the 5th year and under party. You may go." Dumbledore finally told them. Hermione thanked them and she and Draco left. " Well.. now we just have to help plan the 5th year party and decorate and also make bulletins... oh man, what did we get ourselves into, Hermione?" Draco asked. " I dunno." Hermione replied.
