Chats with mentors

Harry had been writing to Sirius since the incident so he was well versed in the subject.

"Sirius she hasn't spoken to me since I kissed her! What if she didn't want me to kiss her! I mean, she was practically screaming at me! But then again she did kiss back... what if that was all-"Sirius cut him off. "Harry quit worrying and do something about it!"

"But WHAT?" Harry cried. This is when Remus entered the room. "So he's upset about Ginny is he?" Remus asked looking at Sirius.

"You told him too?!" Harry asked obviously upset that his personal life had been spread around like wildfire.

"Yes Harry now if you'll-"but it was Harry's turn to cut him off. "I got to get going..." he mumbled and left.

"Sirius!" Remus laughed. "He reminds me more and more of James. And Ginny is just as fiery as Lily." Sirius laughed and they continued on about lesson plans. Harry continued to stalk around school for a while when he decided to go visit Dobby...

Ginny and Hermione---

"I can't stand him Hermione! Honestly he just kisses me and then doesn't talk to me for weeks! Bloody Hell maybe he only kissed me because he thought I wanted him to! Oh what am I going to do!?" Ginny ranted to Hermione.

"Ginny..." Hermione started in a reasonable tone. "Harry wouldn't have kissed you if he hadn't wanted to. He just wouldn't do that. If you really want my opinion I think he most likely thinks that you didn't want to kiss him!"

"But I did!" Ginny exclaimed as she started pacing.

"Did want to do what?" Parvati asked as she and Lavender walked into the dorm.

"Nothing!" Ginny yelled. "Sorry I didn't mean to yell it's just-"but Hermione cut her off.
"Harry and Ginny kissed and they haven't spoken but two words to each other since!"

"Hermione!" Ginny groaned.

"What?" she asked.

"Well isn't it obvious!?" Lavender asked in a condescending tone. "He probably thinks that he kissed you and that you didn't want to be kissed and now he thinks you're mad at him for kissing you, which you obviously aren't." Ginny gawked at her.

"Ginny close your mouth!" Parvati snapped. "You're going to catch flies." And with short goodbyes Parvati and Lavender left for the common room.

"Do you think there're right?" Ginny asked Hermione in a small voice.

"Oh Ginny are you really that thick? Lavender and Parvati might be airheads sometimes but they are experts in the area of boys." Hermione responded.

"Yeah I guess..." Ginny said sounding unconvinced.

"So what are you going to wear to the ball?" Hermione asked trying to change the subject.

"I'm not sure. I'll probably find something in Madam Malkins next weekend. Are you going?"

"Yeah I think I will. I want to wear a muggle dress this year. Blue I think."

"That would look wonderful Hermione!" Ginny said falling back onto her bed. "Are you going with Ron?"

Hermione turned an interesting shade of pink. "Yes I am. He asked me after dinner."

"I know it sounds weird..." Ginny started. "But even after everything that's happened, I still want Harry to ask me."

"I know Gin, I know." Hermione replied getting into her bed.

"Night Hermione and Thanks"

"Welcome Gin." Hermione said over a big yawn.

Harry and Dobby

Harry made his way down the staircase then down the corridor that led to the kitchens among other things. He reached the portrait and tickled the pear. It squirmed and he opened the door and went in. As soon as he was inside the door something collided with his legs.

"Oh Harry Potter sir!" Dobby cried. "Mr. Potter has come to see Dobby! Oh thank you Sir Thank you!"

"Relax Dobby." Harry said as the small elf let go of his legs. "So how was your summer Dobby?"

"Oh Sir it was wonderful! Winky and I went to the Bahamas with Professor Dumbledore. It was most fun sir!"

Harry chuckled at this.

"Sounds fun Dobby."

"How was your summer Harry Potter sir?" Dobby asked.

"Well I kind of messed things up with Ginny..." And Harry launched into the story.

"... And she hasn't spoke to me since!" he finished. "Can you help me? I want to ask her to the dance but I don't know how?"

"Oh Harry Potter sir I have the perfect thing!" Dobby cried and begin to tell Harry all about it. It involved the room of requirement, dinner, music, and a beach!

"Dobby that's brilliant!" Harry exclaimed and Dobby beamed. "I'll meet you in the room tomorrow at 4 to get ready!"

"Okay Sir!"

"Well I must be off... I don't want to be caught by Filch on my first day back!"

"Okay goodbye until tomorrow Sir!" Dobby called after Harry.

Harry was excited now. Dobby had come through this time. He might actually forgive him for almost killing him it his plan worked. Harry walked briskly back to the Fat Lady's portrait and told her Welcome back, which was the password. He went up to bed feeling Happier than he had in a good while.

Oh My God! That took forever. The next one will be the surprise. Honestly I have no idea when it will be out but all in good time. I've been really busy with school and such so I'll try to update when I can. I can guarantee that it will be up by next Monday though! Thanx so much to my great readers! I love you all.
