A/n: I tweaked chapter 2, so you should re-read it. If you don't you'll get all confused and be sorry. I like the tweaked version better. Tell me your opinion on it with this chapter's review. Please. Now, on with the story.
Chapter 5: Dumbledore's office
Padma's POV
I burst into the common room at top speed. I started to run upstairs to the girls' dormitory when Terry Boot came up to me and tapped me on the shoulder.
"Padma?"
"Yes? Oh, hi Terry, what's up?" I asked. Terry and I hung out now and then, but it was usually to study for exams and stuff. I honestly had no clue what he wanted.
"Er…Padma…do you…I mean, would you…like to come with me to the next Hogsmeade weekend? As, like, a date?" He asked, turning scarlet about ever other word. I had no idea what to do. I mean, I like him and all, but not in that way. Well, I went with the truth.
"Er…Terry, I like you and all, but I just couldn't do that. I'm sorry." I said, concerned.
"Why? Do you like someone else?" he asked, gulping and looking at the sapphire carpet.
"Well, er…yes. I'm truly sorry. I've er… got to go." I said and dashed quickly up the stairs. When I entered the dormitory, I found Luna laying underneath her bed, a small pillow under her head. I ducked down and put my knees on the ground so I could talk to her.
"Hey, Luna." I stated casually.
"Hi Padma. Did you know that Dumbledore wants to see you? He told me that if I saw you, to tell you to go up to his office. He said that the password is 'Fainting Fancies'." She stated, examining the wood above her face.
"All right, I didn't know. Well, I guess I'll go head up there right now.
Fifteen minutes later, I found myself in front of the entrance to Dumbledore's office. "Fainting Fancies." I said, as I stepped on the spiraling escalator. I reached the door to his office, and it opened immediately. I stepped through the doorway and found myself in Dumbledore's amazing office. It's always full of cool and odd trinkets. I was still taking in the beautiful sight of his office when I heard Dumbledore speak.
"Ah, Miss Patil, please take a seat next to Mr. Weasley." He said motioning to the chair right next to Ron. I almost did a flip when I saw him sitting in his blue armchair. Nonetheless, I sat down in the grey armchair right next to him. He looked at me and smiled.
"Do you know why you are here? Well, let me tell you. Since you are Head Boy and Head Girl, it is time we discuss your living quarters. You have the choice of moving into the Head's Quarters, or remaining in your own House coomonrooms. The decision is entirely yours." He said, sitting down in his chair, lacing his fingers and glaring down on us. I had to admit, living in the same quarters as Ron would be totally awesome, I mean now that I know he likes me. The only thing that I wouldn't like about it is leaving Luna by herself, I mean, without any other friends that are in Ravenclaw. I would probably have to choose living in the Head Quarters, I mean, Luna's been by herself for a long time, I don't think she'd mind. I finally spoke.
"Er…I wouldn't mind staying in the Head's Quarters."
"I wouldn't either." Ron said, looking at me, then quickly looking at the marble floor.
"Well, then I guess it's settled, you both can stay in the Head's Quarters," he raised his wand and did a weird motion in midair and returned to speaking, "your things have just been brought up. You'll find the Quarters on the 5th floor right next to the statue of Boris the Bewildered. The password is 'Lemon Drop'. You may go now if you like." He finished, smiling lightly.
"All right." We said in unison. We waved and then walked out of the office. As soon as we were outside the spiral escalator, Ron spoke.
"Why'd you kiss me, surely you don't like me?" He looked down. I couldn't help but blush.
A/n: Sorry I had to end it right there. Well, I hope you liked it. This chapter seems longer than the other ones, I hope it is because I promised you one. I'm really hoping some more people will read this so, I want to get at least 8 or 9 reviews before I post the next chapter. If it takes longer than 3 days, I'll just post anyway. Well, review!
