A/N: I own nothing that you see in the Harry Potter books. :'( They all belong to the most wonderful person on the planet... J.K. Rowling!!!
When they got back to the castle, it was ten o' clock. Ginny ran to the Gryffindor common room as fast as she could.
When she got there, she saw Harry sitting in the armchair by the fire, his favorite spot. She nearly screamed when she saw him, but instead, she walked as quietly past him as she could.
She stepped on the loose floorboard, and he whipped around, "Oh, Ginny, it's just you. Where were you? It's, like, ten." "Oh, Harry, I didn't see you there." Ginny stated nervously.
"Well, you better go upstairs. We have an end of semester pop quiz from Snape, so you might also want to study in the morning. G'night." With that, he turned back around. She stared at him in wonderment.
"O.K." she said slowly, "G'night." She turned and ran up the stairs to the girls dormitories.
She sat on her bed for well over an hour thinking about what she had just witnessed. Harry had actually been nice to her.
She was finally exhausted at about twelve am, and fell asleep.
The next day, Snape gave them a pop quiz, but Ginny was prepared. She had studied just as Harry had suggested. She aced the quiz, and that put her in a great mood all day. She and Draco went for a walk along the grounds after lessons were over.
"Draco, where are we going?" she asked. "You'll see." He said playfully. He had covered her eyes with his hands and was leading her across the grounds. It was nearly nightfall, so he had to watch where she was going as well as himself.
The setting was perfect. Draco had set up a candlelight picnic by the lake. He had picked out all of her favorite foods, and had placed a green and sparkling silver blanket under it all.
"Here we are." Draco said, softly moving his hands away from her eyes.
"Oh my God!" she said breathlessly. She turned to Draco and kissed him. "This is amazing, Draco! How did you do it?"
"Just a little help from Ron and Hermione. I thought that you might like it." "Like it? I don't like it," she said seriously, making Draco's face droop for a second, "I love it!" she squealed with delight and they sat down.
When they had finished, they lay side by side on the blanket. "Tomorrow, I have to help Hermione with the Yule Ball decorations. It might take all day." Ginny said sadly. "Do you have to?" Draco moaned.
"Yes. I've already promised the full day to helping Hermione. I'm sorry, love." She said and she hugged him tightly. "Well if you're going to be working all day, you'll need your rest now. Go to bed and I'll see you at breakfast. I love you"
"I love you, too." They kissed one last time and she left him.
Ginny woke up the next morning in her own bed. She looked around the room confused, but then everything form the previous night came back to her, and she smiled.
When she got to her dresser, she found that her hairbrush was gone. To occupy the time she was using while looking from her hairbrush, she sang the Veggietales' Oh Where Is My Hairbrush.
Her brush was sitting at the bottom of her trunk. She had no time to lose, so she frantically started brushing her hair and getting dressed.
Hermione was waiting for Ginny when she finally got down to the Great Hall. "Where have you been, Ginny!" Hermione shrieked at the sight of her. "I overslept. Bugger off." Ginny retorted.
"Well, because you overslept, we have to start thirty minutes later than I scheduled!" 'Wow, I never really thought that Hermione could get even more time crazy than she already was!' Ginny thought, smirking.
"What are you smiling about?" "Oh, nothing, sorry, Mione, lets get started."
