Chapter Nine
"They'll be wondering where we are," Ginny wispered.
"Let 'em," Harry retored. Ginny gave a small laugh, and pressed herself on Harry.
"Harry, we- we really should get back... teachers might find us...it might not look good, if Snape comes out here and finds us on the pitch..." Harry laughed, and nodded.
"Okay, come on, let's go," Harry took Ginny's hand, and began to walk her back to the common room. Up the large marble stair case, and along the over sized hall.
"What are we going to tell them?" Ginny asked, suddenly nervous. Ginny stopped dead in her tracks. Harry turned to face her. The moonlight enlightened both of there faces, and reflected off Harry glasses.
"About?" he asked, dumbly.
"Us you moron, us," Ginny replied, laughing lighting.
"Oh.. yes.. well," He paused and thought about it, "The real big question- is should we tell them? Let them figure it out of there own, or hide it?"
"I dont think I can hide this big of a secret," Ginny wispered, thinking about the wonderful sesation of rubbing it crulely in Erika's face....
"Well, we could act all normal, but not really say anything,"
"Why not tell them?"
"'Oh, hi Ron. How are you? By the way, I'm maddly in love with your little sister,'" Ginny snikkered, thinking about how much she would pay to see that conversation.
"Something tells me, that Voldermort would be the lest of my worries, and the last to get to me..."
"Don't say his name," Ginny said, seriously.
"Ginny, one day, you're going to have to stand up and say it,"
"Says who?"
"Me," Harry said, his eyes travelled down the hall, and fixed on something. He narrowed his eyes, in an attempt to focus, "Pevee's" Harry moaned.
"Shit- if he see's us, who knows what will happen," Harry didn't say anything, but kept pulling Ginny to the common room. The paused outside the large picture, "I think we got away,"
"I hope so... last thing we need is him about,"
"I wonder why Dumbledore put's up with him..."
"Password,"
"Me to. I'd ask him, but you know what he's like, he'd just avoid the questions, or give some long aswer, or simple answer in totally amusement,"
"Yea, you right,"
"PASSWORD!?" the fat lady said again.
"Oh- sorry, it's feather,"
"If you say so," she said, opening up, allowing the to to enter. Harry kissed Ginny one last time before they entered.
"Where have you two been?" Hermione moaned, looking up, "The moon?"
"Sorry," Harry aswered, blushing.
"It's dark out, man" Ron moaned, "And we still have homework to do," Harry looked at both of them strangely. He was still holding Ginny's hand, no plans of letting it go. He blinked a couple of times, and looked to Ginny, who he thought he brust into laughter at any second.
"Homework?" he asked, innocently.
"Yes, like- the stuff thats due tomorrow,"
"Tomorrow," Ginny asked.
"Yes- are you two daft?" Ron looked angry. Harry looked at the pile of Homework. Neither of them had started anything, but sat rather close together on the couch. Harry couldn't help it, be brust out laughing, soon fallowed by Ginny.
"What have you gotten done?" he asked, between laughs.
"Oh, this.. and that. Ya know, nothing big,"
"Well that's good,"
"Good!? It's almost midnight, and none of us are done,"
"I'm going to bed," Harry moaned.
"Me too," Ginny fallowed harry up the stairs. Ron and Hermione both called them back down to work. But neither of them looked back. They both stopped on the landing where the girls and boy's dorm entrances where.
"How much do you want bet they both get up for class tomorrow," Ginny snorted.
"I didn't have the heart to tell them," Harry repiled.
"Well, gave us a laugh,"
"I cant belive they didn't know it's friday,"
"They are most likely pre-ocupied with other things.." she said, trying not to laugh.
"Yea, like each other lips" they both broke out laughing. The dark stair well echoed there laughed, "Alright, well good night Gin" Harry said, kissing her lightly.
"Night Harry," she wispered, and they broke apart to go to bed.
-
"Harry- wake up,"
"No,"
"Harry- class,"
"No,"
"HARRY!"
"NO!"
"But-"
"Ron, here at Hogwarts, we dont have classes on a firday," Ron let go of Harry, and stood up. Harry rolled over, and looked at Ron, who's ears where rather red. He was blinking out into space, "Hermione,"
"What?"
"Go stop her from going to class," Harry moaned.
"Oh- right" Ron ran out of the room. Harry fixed himself back under his covers, ready got a long sleep.
"Harry," a sweet voice said.
"Ba humbug!" he moaned, sitting up, and drawing back the curent fully, "Gin!" his tone changed. A bright smile formed on his face, "Good morning!" he chreed.
"Hurry- get dressed. Dumbledore's making some annocment in the great hall- he's really exicited about it,"
"Alright, alright," Harry pulled himself out of bed, and Ginny left the room. Pulling on his black school pants, and dress shirt, he dropped his tie, not bothering with it. Harry reached for his cloak and put it on as he left the room. Slowly walking down the stairs, a group of second years flew by him, almost knocking him off his feet.
"Sorry," the blond one said, blushing maddly.
"Dont worry about it," Harry smiled, and kept walking. Ginny was waiting for him at the bottom of the stairs, "Ron and Hermione?"
"Already left," Ginny smiled. Harry took her hand, and began to walk out the port whole.
"Thank you, and good morning!" Harry said happily to the fat lady.
"Your welcome, Mr. Potter," she said, a little suprised.
"You're in a good mood,"
"How could I not be, I've got the best girl in the world?" Harry smiled, looking over at Ginny. As they walked into the great hall, no one seemed to notice they where holding hands- but that could have had something to do with there long sleeves covering almost all of there hands.
"Ginny," Erika said happily from behind, "I've been looking everywhere for you,"
'Bugger off," Ginny hissed.
"Now, that's not very nice,"
"She said, bugger off," Harry said, defensivly.
"I just wanted to talk,"
"Maybe you didn't hear us though your think skull- g-o a-w-a-y"
"Oh, come now," Erika said, stepping sedctively close to Harry, "I just wanna play..." Harry stepped back.
"Look, I dont know who you think you are-"
"Harry-" Ginny pleaded.
"Is this the girl who picked on you," Harry wispered into Ginny's ear. Ginny only nodded, not able to meet Harry's eyes. Harry looked back at the girls, a darker expression on his face, "Listen very carefully. I'm not interested. Neither is Ginny. So take your big hair and phony personalty back to your seat," Erika looked shocked that Harry had talken to someone as beatuiful in such a manner, but turned around and left anyways.
Harry sighed, and looked at Ginny, who was beaming at him, "Thank you," she smiled.
"You're most welcome, my dear," Harry smiled, and the two of them made there way over, and sat back down at the table, to see Ron wispering something Hermione's ear, which made her giggle.
"Hiya, Ron, hiya Hermione," Harry greeted.
"Oh, hey Ron, I mean Harry," Hermione shook her head, and smiled back at Ron.
"Good morning!" Dumbledore called to all the students, "Hope you all slept well." a loud 'ha' was heard from the Hufflepuff table, as everyone seemed to be falling asleep in there breakfast, with large circle's under there eyes.
"According to Dean, Peeve's was playing tricks, and making noise in there all night. The fat frye tried to get hin to leave, but couldn't. Had to go get the bloody barren he did,"
"Gezz," Ginny wispered.
"As you all know, Hallo'ween is only 9 days away!" a chatter of excitement filled the room, "And, it happen's to be falling on a Monday," there was a shree amount of 'boo's' echoing in the room, "But, the teachers and I have agreed you all need a well desivered break. SO! We will be having a wee bit of a party. You know, a little dance," now, everyone brust into excited chatter.
"Do you reckon we will have to wear costumes?" Hermione asked.
"Wear what?" Ron asked confused, Ginny shrugged.
"North American Muggle tridition," Harry wispered.
"Oh,"
"Now, we have only two rules for outfits- one dress robes, muggle dress clothing, or custume. Two, nothing uunaporperate," Dumbledore's eyes traveled to the other side of the room. Harry was reminded when in his thrid years Molfoy had dresses as a Dementor as an attempt to make him pass out. It failed, and Malfoy had been scarde shitless, "Well, that's all- enjoy your day!"
-
Hallo'ween sunk up suppriseingly fast, even if it was really only nine days to start with anyways. The school was buzzing with excited students, even the teachers seemed in a better mood then normal. On Hallo'ween day, all after noon classes where cancelled, meaning that Harry didn't have Potions, or Divinations. Smileing boradly, as he walked out of Professor McGonagal's class, Harry began to make his way down to Professor Evelyn's class room.
"Why are we going this way? Lunch is the other way..." Ron wined.
"You ahead," Harry said lightly, "I can meet up with you two,"
"Are you sure?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, I'm sure," Harry smiled, "Go on, I'll meet you there." Ron and Hermione both turned around and walked the other way. Harry crossed his arms around his back, and kept walking down the hall, a large smile on his face.
"Hello, Harry," Colin waved. Harry smiled, and waved back, but didn't stop.
"Harry!" a kind voice called.
"Gin!" Harry called back, running up to her, picked her off her feet, and spun her around, "How are you, love?" Ginny blushed maddly.
"I'm good," Harry put her back on the ground, and held Ginny's hand, as she reached for his, "Where's Ron and Hemione,"
"I told them they could go ahead, and we'd meet them there,"
"Alright," Ginny giggled slightly, "They aren't very smart, are they?"
"What makes you say that?" Harry asked, thinking about how it was commonly said that Hermione was the smartest witch of there grade.
"They havn't noticed at all, about us I mean," a borad smile formed on Harry's face.
"I'm not complaining," he said, bluntly, "I'm not really looking forward to that black eye.. be kinda hard to explain to Pomfrey when I wake up," Harry and Ginny both laughed, as they walked into the great hall for lunch.
"Hiya, Harry," Ron greeted, as Harry and Ginny sat down next to each other.
"Hey, Ron, Hermione," Hermione waved from the tob of a book, with no title.
"What's up, Gin?" Ron asked, smileing at his little sis, "How was class?"
"Have any of you noticed.. Professor Evelyn.. seems a bit- off?" she asked, slowly. Harry, Ron and Hermione all looked at each other. It was true, they had all noticed that she had been acting odly recently.
"Yea, yesterday she started talking about the unforgiviable cruses," Ron said, blankly.
"Yea, not to mention the strage look she had been giving me," Harry added, "It was like she knew something we didn't. It was errie."
"I'd say she's lost her marbles,"
"Well," Hermione proclaimed loudly, "If you watched for parents die, your house distroyed you'd be a little off to," Hermione pointed out. The group went scilent, and ll looked at Harry, "And be old enough to understand what was going on, to really know your parents, and to have a death eater try to rape you,"
"Well, that certionally didn't happen to me," Harry pointed out. Which was true. Harry never really knew his parents, he was too young to understand, no idea how to defend himself, and fail, and a death eater try to rape you. Harry suddenly felt a new connection with Professor Evelyn.
"So, anyways," Ron said loudly, breaking the ocward scilence, "Party tonight,"
"Yup," everyone said together.
"Who you going with?" Dean suddenly said from beside them, as he and Semus sat down.
"Oh, well, you know.." Ron trailed off.
"No one?" Dean asked.
"Oh, no.. I'm going with someone," his ear's where truning pink. So where Hermione's.
"You two," Harry said, predenting to be dumstruck, "Your going together," Hermione and Ron looked at each other. Both of them nodded.
"How about you, Potter?" Harry paused, and looked at Ginny out of the corner of his eye. It suddenly accured to him he hadn't even asked Ginny, just asmued.
"I havn't asked anyone," he said planly. Ginny looked at him strange, but we winked at her, and she relaxed.
"Any ideas?"
"Oh yea," Harry proclaimed, "A very good one to"
"Well, that's good," Sesum said, "You see, I'm sure we would all be very curious if you didn't tell us,"
"I'm sure you would," Harry smiled, and stood up from the table.
"I'm gonna go get ready," Ginny said, fallowing Harry out of the room. They both reached for each other's hands. Sesum and Dean looked at each other.
"Naa!" they said in unision.
-
"Ginny," Harry said, stopping. She smiled and turned.
"Yesss?"
"Will you do me the honour of being my date tonight?"
"Why, I'd love to," she smiled.
"Wonderful!" Harry chreed. The two of them laughed, and contiuned on there jounry to the common room.
-
"Hey Hermione," Ginny smiled, as Hermione walked into the her room, "What's up?"
"I need help,"
"You- need help?" Ginny looked at her confused.
"About make-up, and stuff,"
"Shoot," Ginny smiled. Over the summer Ginny had become quite skilled with a make-up bruch.
"Well.. how?" Hermione blinked a couple times.
"You did it at Yule Ball.." Ginny repiled, without thinking. Hermione gave her a pleading look, "Alright, sit down. I'll help you,"
