Ok, this is my first attempt so here goes!!
All Grown Up.
Harry felt the breath caught in his throat as he saw her descending the stairs. Her red hair shone as it cascaded onto her shoulders. His eyes followed the curves of her body, draped in a green satin dress that oozed sophistication. He never could have imagined her looking like this, not Ginny.
Harry was now in his sixth year at Hogwarts and had been eagerly awaiting tonight's Christmas ball. He hadn't expected Ginny to make the first move but perhaps that was because he hadn't noticed she was growing up fast. She was no longer the shy first year who could hardly pluck up the courage to speak to him but now he noticed.
"H-hi, you look..so grown up." He stammered.
"I'm fifteen Harry, what's taken you so long to notice?"
She smiled at him, a smile that lit up her face and made her eyes sparkle with delight. Harry's stomach flipped as he looked at the floor. There was an awkward silence,
"Um...."
"Sorry, have you been waiting long?"
Harry was rescued by the entrance of Ron and Hermione who burst into the room full of energy. Ron's arm was wrapped round the waist of Lavender Brown, his latest conquest who was wearing a black number that seemed to consist of a few strategically placed triangles. Harry shook his head, surely Ron wasn't so desperate as to choose HER, her reputation wasn't exactly stable.
"Hi Harry." Lavender greeted him. Her voice washed over him as he felt her eyes burning through his tux, "You look rather.....appealing, doesn't he Ginny?" addressing the younger girl with disdain. Ginny blushed,
"Yes, he does" she replied timidly.
"I must say, your dress is....different."
Harry was ready to explode. How dare she, how dare she talk to Ginny like that! He watched as Ginny shrank back into the shell he'd so often before, her cheeks burning. He was furious and couldn't hold himself back. He was quickly saved from this awkward situation by a flash of midnight blue.
"Shall we go down then? There's a lot of fun to be had tonight!!!"
He hadn't noticed Hermione. She easily outshone Lavender he thought as he gazed at his friend, clad in a low cut, floor-length, midnight blue dress. He shook his head to rid himself of the thought, that was history now, they'd decided that together when they realised it wasn't working. She turned to her date for the evening, a small, mole-like boy from Hufflepuff,
"Come on then Alfred" she commanded as she dragged him out if the Gryffindor common room. She was closely followed by Ron who was busy trying to surgically remove Lavender as they clambered out of the portrait hole.
"Shall we?" Harry turned to Ginny and felt his stomach flip again as the light caugt her hair. Her eyes danced as she smiled at him,
"Yes Harry. I'm sure we'll have a lot of fun tonight..."
Thought I'd leave it as a cliff hanger so let me know what you think!!
