Ginny Weasley rose from bed and stretched, raising her lanky arms towards the greeting sun. Scratching her head of vivid red hair she made her way to Hermione's bed. "wake up 'Mione!" said Ginny, loosely shaking her sleepy friend . Giving up for now, Ginny went to the bathroom to get ready to go to Hogsmeade with a bunch of friends. At the same moment, Colin Creevy was nudging Neville Longbottom awake from his peaceful sleep.
"Come on, Longbottom, we're going to be late, plus I've got someone special to see." Said Colin pulling his socks on, while trying to buckle his belt.
"well at least you have a girlfriend to see, I haven't anyone, 'cept Trevor." Sulked Neville, sitting on the edge of his unmade bed.
"Oh some off it. After Seamus moved away, you've asked Lavender out seven times and she said no-"
"it wasn't just no, she laughed in my face and said that this was getting tiring for her." Shot back Neville back, bitterly.
"What ever, the point is she turned you down so you should move on."
"Don't forget about Hermione, she also turned you down."
"It's alright Neville someday you'll find her."said Colin reassuringly patting his back.
"You really think so?"
"Yea."
Finally they all met down at their common room; Harry, Hermione, Ron, Lavender, Parvati, Neville, Colin, Ginny and Dean. The secret entrance was frozen over so the disappointed students grabbed their brooms and headed out to the snow covered grounds.They were the few students left who didn't or couldn't go home for the holidays. Ginny and Colin held hands as they walked out side, they've been dating since Valentines Day and keen on each other like mad. Harry and Hermione were also dating finally Hermione have found the guy for her. They've been dating for about as long as Giny and Colin. Ron, on the other hand had just chucked Parvati. Lavender, Dean and Neville were also single. The five usally hung out together while the two couples were on cloud nine.
Everyone stood on the edge on the frozen lake and mounted their brooms. Chily wind whipped their hair around and bit at their cheeks. Ginny looked down at the middle of the lake to find that it wasn't frozen over. She looked back up at Dean and muttered to herself , "What a dork," as Dean's broom started bucking wildly. "He's going to fall in the lake and freeze his ass off!" As if on cue Deans broom gave one more heart wrenching flip then he plumped 30 feet in to the merky waters. "DEAN!" shouted Ginny as she and the rest of the group swopped down to Dean who was flailing then Dean went under leaving a trail of bubbles in the freezing waters. Eyes wide they watched as a Comet 64 broom stick floated to the surface. Dean Thomas was dead.
