Chapter 3: Girls Night

Hermione POV

It had been 2 weeks since we had had our Small People. Paige was starting to warm up to me and didn't spend most of her time away from me in her box. Sometimes we would talk to each other on how life is being a wizard. Paige would always tell me stories about Ireland. It sounded like a really nice place.

It was Friday and everyone was in the great hall for dinner. I was sitting with Ginny, Fred, George, Harry and Ron. There were all in a deep conversation while me and Ginny were finally getting sometime to talk.

"So Gin, congratulations on being perfect." I said.

"Thanks," Ginny said. "Listen, you want to come up to my room tonight?"

"I don't know Ginny." I pondered.

"Common, just think of it as a girls' night." Ginny said with a smile.

"Well, ok." I answered.

"Great. Come up to my room around 7' k." Ginny said and walked off.

Well, I was planning on doing some homework because it was Friday but I guess it could always wait. I turned to see that everyone else was looking at me and started to giggle.

"Oooo, girls' night." Fred imitated Ginny. I punch him in the arm as everyone at the table howled with laughter.

"Shut up! I would like to see what you guys are up to in your dormitory." I giggled. "But then yet again. I don't!" I added. I walked away from the table with my own giggles.

I headed up towards the Gyrffindor common room when I bumped into non other than Draco. Oddly enough, he was all-alone instead of being accompanied by Crabbe, Goyle, and Pansy.

"Where do you think you are going Granger?" Malfoy snarled at me.

"Somewhere where I can't see your ugly face." I spat at him.

"Watch your mouth with me mudblood." Draco hissed at me though his teeth.

"By the way, I forgot to ask where the caravan and you bitch?" I smirked at Draco and continued up the stairs.

I heard him say 'Come back here mudblood' but ignored it. I walked though the common room, which was still empty. I climbed to my dorm and fell onto my bed. I never realized how tired I was until now. I guess it was from all the late night studying I have been doing lately.

I jumped up when I heard the sound of someone walking in. It was Lavendar Brown. She was alone and smiled at me once she saw me. I smiled back and waved my hand at her but she was already walking towards me.

"Hey Hermione." She said cheerfully.

"Um, hi." I managed to say.

"So listen, rumors have been going around about the Winter Ball." Lavendar said pulling her head closer to mine. I guess the smile on her face never left.

"What rumors?" I questioned.

"Oh common, don't tell me that you don't know." Lavendar breathed out.

I shook my head in response.

"Oh my God! Well then let me fill you in on all the details."

"Well, who are they about?" I decided to ask before Lavendar had a chance to go on.

"Well, mainly about Harry."

"What about him?"

"Well, people have been talking about who he might ask."

"Does it make a difference?"

"Of course it does. Anyway guess what everyone thinks?" Lavendar smiled.

"I give up, who?" I said.

"YOU!" Lavendar almost shrieked.

"Lavendar, me and Harry have been friends for ages. Nothing is going to change that. Harry doesn't like me that way and I don't like him that way either. I set my eyes on someone else." OMG! It slipped out. Lavendar grew a wide smile across her face. I didn't want everyone to know I had a secret crush. I jumped up from my bed and scurried around trying to get all my things for tonight together as quickly as I could.

"Hermione," Lavendar started. "You, have a crush! Oh my God! You have to tell me who it is."

"It is none of your business." I grabbed my bag and started to walk out the door.

"Hermione! Tell me." I heard her shout to me.

"I have to go, see ya later." I responded back. That was close.

I walked up to the perfects room and knocked on Ginny's door. I heard quick rustling and then Ginny's voice came out. "One minute Hermione." A few moments later the door swung open and revealed Ginny in a pink tank top and regular blue jeans. Her hair was back in a bun with some stands straying loose.

"Hey Gin." I greeted her.

"Hi Hermione." Ginny said and stepped back letting me in. "Make yourself at home." I looked around the place. It looked the same way it was when I was there last year except it was a little dirty.

"I was just trying to clean up a little." Ginny said from behind me.

"Ginny, have you learned nothing all this time at Hogwarts." I smiled.

"What do you mean?" Ginny said tilting her head to the side.

I just shook my head and pulled my wand out from under my robes. I held it out in front of me and said out clearly "clearsweptio." Suddenly, A small green flame came out of my wand and swept over the room and everything it the room quickly flew to its spot on the bookshelf or dresser door. All the clothes hung neatly in her closet and her bed was made in a flash.

Ginny nodded her head. "Remind me to make you teach me that one sometime."

We both laughed out loud.

"Well, common," Ginny started. "Let's make good use of our time. I got some sweets from the kitchen." Ginny motioned to her dresser which on top stood a plate of cauldron cakes, chocolate frogs, and 2 glasses of pumpkin juice. "Wait, you are done with the whole 'house elf right' right?" Ginny asked me.

"Yeah, I guess I should just leave things up to them." I answered.

"Great, well help yourself and I go and get all my things." Ginny hurried to the bathroom while I seated myself on the couch. I could be doing homework right now.

"Ginny?" I yelled out.

"Yeah?" I heard her answer.

"Some what do you have planned for us tonight?"

"I don't know really. A movie, and makeovers, stuff like that." Ginny answered walking in with her arms loaded with beauty products.

"Sounds great."

"Yup. Except there are only 3 rules."

"What?"

"One, you can't have a bad time. Two, you can't fall asleep, and last but not least, what is said in this room stays in this room."

"No problem, I think I can handle that."

"OK so what do you want to watch? I got," Ginny started.

"Wait, do you have A walk to Remember?" I asked.

"A what?" Ginny replied.

"Don't tell me you have never seen that movie."

Ginny shook her head in response. I bent over to grab my bag and pulled out the movie.

"It's a muggle movie though so you might not like it." I said.

"Oh I don't mind, I love watching there movies like, oh what is that one called when the guy and girl break up and then they have this whole 'don't do sex' campaign and there was this really bitchy girl."

"Oh, I think I know which you are talking about. Its called 'Everybody's doing it."

"Yeah, that's the one!"

"I can't believe you never told me that you watched muggle movies before."

"I didn't think it was that big of a deal."

Later that night, Ginny and I both watched the movie and gave each other outrageous makeovers. We ended up fixing each other due to the fact we got into a huge pillow fight.

Now we were sitting on her bed talking and gossiping. Basically just trying to catch up on each other's lives. I was surprised that she didn't bring up the rumor that Harry wanted to go with me to the dance. I know Ginny still had a huge crush on Harry still and I didn't want it to affect our friendship.

"So, Hermione, Truth or Dare?" Ginny asked me.

"Um, Truth." I answered.

"Ok, who do you want to ask you to the Winter Ball?" Ginny asked.

"Um, I changed my mind I want a dare." I quickly said.

"No changing minds. Common you have to tell me."

"It's no one." I lied though my teeth.

"You're lying!" Ginny said aloud.

"Ok, you promise not to tell anyone."

"Remember what I told you before, what is said in this room stays in this room."

"Ok, it's your brother."

"Ron! You want to go with Ron to the dance!" Ginny said loudly.

"Keep your voice down." I said while Ginny burst into laughter.

"OK, ok." Ginny said trying to hold back her laughter.

"Your not mad at me."

"Hell no. I think it is quite funny."

"Quiet you. I don't know what it is about him. Maybe it is just because we have been friends for so many years and it is fun to hang around him. But he doesn't notice me."

"Yes he does."

"No Ginny, he doesn't. He doesn't realize that I am a girl. He doesn't find me pretty at all or, maybe he doesn't even think of me at all period."

"Don't say that Hermione. You guys have been friends ever since you started Hogwarts. Remember that time he and Harry saved you from that mountain troll in your 1st year."

"Speaking of Harry, are you going to ask him to the dance?"

"I might, haven't really thought of it yet."

"You should though, or else you can't go." I complained.

"I know, I know, but what if he says no?"

"Well, there is always Neville." I laughed.

"Oh shut up!" Ginny said throwing a pillow at me.

"Well you did go with him to the Yule Ball."

"And you went with Victor!"

"Like that was any worst."

Ginny and looked at each other for a minute before we exploded with laughter once more.

Review! Ok, Please Review!
