Chapter 2





What an atmosphere there was in the Great Hall. The enchanted ceiling was a blanket of stars arching over the excited students. Professor Flitwick had done a good job this year as they admired the huge Christmas tree at the far end, beautifully decorated with fairy lights and tinsel and various ornaments that laughed or pulled faces whenever anyone walked passed.

Harry watched as Hermione's gaze fell onto the buffet spread along long tables down the side of the hall, he knew what she was thinking. Her S.P.E.W campaign had folded in at the end of last year, much to her dismay.

"Come on Harry" said Ginny, sensing the change in atmosphere "Let's go and dance." She tugged at is hand and he didn't resist as she pulled him onto the dance floor. Harry noticed that the music was pumping from muggle speakers and an enchanted player (A/N yes, I know, pathetic but it happens!).

Harry was getting into the dancing and had finally achieved the art of moving his arms and legs in synchronisation. He watched as Hermione whirled past him, Alfred looking on abject fear, clinging on for dear life. Across the room, Ron looked more than uncomfortable as Lavender shimmied up and down his body, obviously enjoying herself. He looked positively suicidal when the music changed to a slow song and she wrapped her arms around him.

"Harry...Are you okay? Do you want to sit down?" Ginny brought Harry back to his own situation.

"No, it's okay. I'm fine."

Ginny blushed as Harry's hands slipped onto her waist and felt herself stiffen. He smiled down at her and as she relaxed, she felt her own arms creep up round his neck. Harry felt her relax and drew her closer, fighting the urge to kiss her as she moulded into the contours of his body. He breathed in the scent of her hair, desperately wanting to kiss her, to feel her soft lips against his but he knew this wasn't the time. She was Ron's sister, he'd feel guilty if he took advantage. The song was coming to an end and Harry couldn't resist anymore. He bent his head down to Ginny only to feel her finger lying gently on his lips.

"Not now Harry, not here." She whispered, glancing over at Ron.

They drew apart and suddenly a commotion over by the Christmas tree destroyed the moment completely. Hermione had turned bright pink and was fleeing the room in mortification, Alfred, her strange mole-like date had adorned himself in red tinsel and had started prancing round the room with a disturbing gleam in his eyes (A/N This is dedicated to Daniel, he knows who he is!). Harry and Ginny watched as students fled from his path, terrified by this eccentric transformation of a normally quiet student.

"Come on Harry, let's go outside for a bit, I need some fresh air" suggested Ginny.

Harry hung his head in disbelief as he watched the mole prancing,

"Yeah, this is all too weird for me."

****

Five minutes later, Harry found himself leaning against the old oak tree by the lake. He watched as he caught a glimpse of the giant squid's tentacles shimmering in the moonlight before it descended back into the gloomy depths. He looked down at his feet, suddenly feeling awkward.

"Ummm.I'm sorry about earlier Ginny, err, I don't quite know what..."

He was cut off as he felt Ginny's soft lips brush against his.

"I- I..." he stammered.

Ginny's finger silenced him.

"Harry, don't talk, just listen. I've wanted to do that for so long, don't spoil it for me. I'm not sure how you feel but if you don't feel the same way then please tell me." He looked at her and she looked down, trying to blink back tears that were trying to escape. He raised his hand and tilted her chin up towards him and brought his lips down to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck deepening the kiss and surrendered to his tongue. Harry ran his hands through her silky hair, drawing her closer to him.

"Harry, Ginny where are you? I can't see you anywhere!"

Harry and Ginny pulled away suddenly as they heard Ron approaching.
