Ginny woke up to find the sun coming over the hills. Hermione was sleeping sound with her covers practically strangling her to death. Ginny had spent all last night fixing and re-fixing her little project and fell asleep around midnight. Today was the first day of torture for Sarah and a day of happiness for Ginny. She got ready and went down to the common room to find Colin waiting for her already.
"Morning Gin"
"Morning"
"You ready today?"
"Yup.....let's go now to get everything set up" They left the common room and walked straight to the Great Hall. No one was in there due to the fact it was a weekend and it was 5 o'clock in the morning. Bunch of lazy people Ginny thought.
"Alright........Fred and George sent their best merchandise to me last night so all we need to do is say the spell and make sure it hits Sarah directly on the back when she comes in for breakfast", Ginny said placing the box she was carrying down on the Gryffindor table.
"Holy shit Gin this stuff could destroy the whole school", Colin said looking through the box.
"No it can't Fred wrote in the letter they sent me that this stuff is safe and they gave me instructions just to make sure so stop fidgeting", Ginny said when she saw Colin start to look nervous and play with his hands.
"Sorry"
"Look let's just get to work okay", Ginny said giving him about twenty sticks in all colors and huge fabric curtains.
"Now all you need to do is stick these (pointing to the colorful sticks) under the Slytherin benches ten on each side and then levitate and secure these curtains to the wall after that make sure to make the curtains invisible....do you got that Colin", Ginny said as she started taking out more sticks but Colin noticed that it was labeled Weasley Light Extravaganza on it. Colin didn't even want to know what type of show these sticks could do so he didn't ask.
"Gin can I ask something"
"Sure", Ginny said while applying the sticks under the Gryffindor table and then under the Hufflepuff table.
"What if Sarah doesn't come for breakfast" At this Ginny stopped working and looked at Colin. He had a good point she thought until she got an idea.
"Then we can wait for lunch or dinner.......I think dinner would be better but we still need to get all these set up now so that we don't need to work harder later", Ginny said receiving a nod from Colin. They spent about thirty to forty minutes setting everything up and then putting an invisibility spell on them. Once they were done Ginny muttered a spell that reduced the size of the box and put it in her pocket just in time because students started coming into the Great Hall.
"Well I guess we will be doing this at dinner", Colin said looking at Ginny.
"Yup just make sure you have your camera with you.....oh and not to get you all nervous Colin but Aurora is walking toward", Ginny said while motioning behind Colin who turned around and then turned back to Ginny. Ginny noticed he was starting get pink in the cheeks.
"I think this would be a good time to ask her to the Ball.......but that's just my opinion well have things to do people to embarrass I'll see you later", Ginny said standing up and walking past Aurora giving her a wink. What Colin didn't know was that last night Ginny sent Aurora a letter saying if she liked Colin then she should talk to him tomorrow morning. Oh Colin you owe me for this she thought to herself. She was just about to walk out of the Great Hall when someone bumped right into her sending her to the floor.
"I'm sorry I didn't see you", someone said offering a hand to help her up. Ginny looked at the hand then looked at the person who was to her luck Harry.
"It's okay I'm fine", Ginny said standing up and dusting off her robes.
"So ummm how are you Gin", Harry asked nervously while his hand went immediately to his hair which he did when he gets nervous.
"I've been okay I guess and you", Ginny asked not looking directly into Harry's eyes.
"Same...well I got to go now but I'm really sorry I bumped into you", Harry said starting to walk away and Ginny had to fight the urge to stop him. She couldn't give in to her heart yet not when other things needed to be done.
"Bye", was all Ginny said before walking out of the Great Hall.
"Harry what happen", Hermione asked as Harry came to sit down.
"I accidentally bumped into her", Harry said innocently but Ron just smiled and Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Sure Harry", Ron said.
"Okay okay so I did it on purpose but she doesn't know that", Harry said smiling.
"So Harry are we going to begin the embarrassment or what", Hermione asked seriously.
"Tomorrow but not right now first I'm just going to watch her today"
"Becoming a stalker Harry", Ron said.
"You know it" Over at the other end of the table Colin was staring at Aurora with his mouth slightly open.
"Colin are you just going to stare at me throughout breakfast like that", Aurora asked uncertainly.
"Sorry it's just ummm not to be rude but why are you here talking to me", Colin asked while Aurora noticed him getting red in the cheeks.
"Well see I got this letter last night saying that if I liked you then I should talk to you today so here I am unless it was just a mistake", she said and Colin immediately thought of Ginny sending the letter.
"I guess the letter was a joke...sorry for bugging you", Aurora said sadly as she stood up to leave but Colin grabbed her hand and pulled her back down.
"No it wasn't a joke", Colin said making Aurora smile.
"Good I was hoping it wasn't"
"Well then ummm I know it's is late on my part but will you go to the Winter Ball with me?"
"Sure I would love to", she said smiling. They spent the rest of their breakfast talking about anything. While this happened Ginny was back in the Gryffindor Tower writing to Fred and George for sending her a lot of the things she needed. Harry and the others were still eating but were also talking about some other things.
"Well I have to go I have some things to do", Harry said only receiving a nod form Hermione and Ron as he exited out of the Great Hall. As he was heading back to the Gryffindor Tower he felt someone following him. Harry knew instantly who it was that was following him.
"Karen what do you want", Harry said before he stopped walking and turned to face Karen.
"Well I just wanted to say I am sorry", Karen said but Harry didn't believe her.
"Sure and Professor Snape really is the nicest guy in Hogwarts", Harry said sarcastically.
"I'm serious.......I don't know I guess I was just being a jealous raging bitch a few months ago", Karen said sadly while looking at Harry. Something inside him told him she was saying the truth but he wasn't going to believe it that quickly.
"Really"
"Yes.....look you and Ron are the most wanted guys in Hogwarts and what can I say you have power over some people. I just wanted to say sorry I never meant to hurt Ginny or you. I guess it was Padma who got me all worked up"
"If this is all a lie I am going to...", Harry said but Karen cut him off.
"You are going to kill me and chop me into a million pieces and feed me to a hippogriff. I promise I'm not lying"
"Fine but why are you talking to me now"
"Well you did say you would kill me if I ever came near you and I just wanted you to warn you about Padma", Karen said looking more serious than before.
"What about her"
"You notice how she has been quiet for the longest time...well that isn't like her and well she has been talking about doing something that will make Ron notice her"
"So he loves Hermione and nothing and no one will interfere with that", Harry said.
"I know but that doesn't mean she can't make something happen...look all I am saying is keep an eye on Ron so that Padma won't get to him", Karen said walking away.
"Hey Karen", Harry said making Karen turn around and face him.
"Thanks for the tip and congrats on dating that guy from Hufflepuff"
"Welcome and thanks back" Harry watched Karen walk away and then he started walking toward the portrait hole.
"He walked in to find Ginny sitting in the common room with a book propped on her knees.
"Hi Ginny"
"Oh hi", Ginny said quietly before going back to reading. She was wondering what he wanted.
"Why aren't you outside", Harry asked while looking at Ginny.
"I could ask you the same"
"I have things to do"
"Same here........look Harry I don't know what you are thinking but whatever it is I don't need you being all sweet to me just because of what happen between us"
"I'm not I'm being sweet to you because I want to", Harry said. Why does she always have to start something with me he thought?
"Then why are you talking to me its not like there is anything between us anymore", Ginny said standing up and closing her book.
"Really because from what I can see there is something between us", Harry said walking toward her but stopped when he saw her back away.
"Well I don't so why don't you enlighten me about what you see"
"Fine, I see something in your eyes and it isn't hate or anger anymore. I know you still think of me and I still think of you. Why can't you see that I love you? Why do you just push me away when I keep saying I'm sorry and that you mean the world to me", Harry said watching Ginny shifting her weight on her feet and avoiding his eyes.
"You're blind Harry because I only have hate for you. I can't forgive you for what you did because you promised me that nothing could take you away from me but no you let Sarah take you away. You say you love me and that I mean everything to you but those are just words now. I can't trust your words not anymore"
"Then I guess we have nothing to say to each other at all"
"I guess so", Ginny said sadly hoping Harry didn't catch it but he did.
"Just remember this Gin no matter how much you push me away and no matter how much you glare at me I know you love me and if it's the last thing I do I am going to show you how much you mean to me. I'm not going to give up", Harry said turning away and walking up to the boys' dormitory.
"I know you won't give up and I'm counting on it", Ginny said when she thought Harry was gone but he heard what she said and all he could do was smile. Ginny left the common room and went straight to the Quidditch pitch to think. She flew around for hours until she noticed it was almost time for dinner. Ginny walked back into the castle to find Colin pacing back and forth in front of the Great Hall and checking his watch.
"Boo", Ginny said when she creped up behind him.
"Don't do that....where were you it's almost time and I was starting to think you weren't going to show"
"Then you must be stupid because I thought up this whole thing so yup", Ginny said sticking out her tongue at him.
"Show time", Colin said as he opened the doors. Colin and Ginny took their seats and waited for Miss Blithe to walk in.
"There she is", Colin pointed toward the door and Ginny looked up to see the devil herself taking a seat with her friends.
"Okay you sure you can do this Colin", Ginny asked unsurely.
"Of course I already told Aurora so I can do whatever"
"Wait you guys are an item now", Ginny said smiling and she received one back.
"Yup thanks to you...now I'm off to face the bride of Frankenstein", Colin said before standing up and saluting her before walking over to Sarah.
"Hello Sarah", Colin said smiling at Sarah.
"What do you want", she asked suspiciously.
"I just wanted to see if it was true"
"If what is true"
"That Ravenclaw has the most beautiful girl in their house and I must say it's an understatement", Colin said smoothly while touching Sarah's cheek. Sarah's friends giggled at the event before them.
"Really...", Sarah said sweetly and Colin knew she was hooked.
"Yes, Ginny thinks your not but she is just a jealous little girl who wants everyone for herself but I want you"
"She is...she thinks she is miss perfect but she isn't"
"Very true", Colin said. Sarah seemed to blush and Colin had to hold back the laughs. He looked at the Hufflepuff table to find Aurora smiling at him and winking. He turned back to look at Sarah and she blushed even further.
"So I was wondering my beautiful angel if you would like to take a walk with me sometime", Colin said while he slipped a potion into Sarah's drink.
"I would love to", she said happily and Colin almost felt sad for but to hell with it she deserved all she was going to get.
"Well I have to get back to my table and be stuck with the little Weasley", Coin said shrugging.
"Okay.......I'll see you later", she said while Colin walked back to Ginny who had buried her face in her drink trying not to laugh.
"She fell for it"
"I know I saw her blush from here"
"Well I see she is taking a drink give it ten minutes and she'll be pink with humiliation", Ginny said smiling. Just as she said that Sarah suddenly stood up and started singing an awful love song that a dog would start to whimper from the sound. Sarah's whole uniform changed to Gryffindor colors and her cloak disappeared only showing her uniform. Her hair turned red and gold but it was in dots all over her hair. She kept singing and the whole school laughed as she stood on the Ravenclaw table and did the can-can dance. The curtains became visible and the Great Hall went dark with only a light shining on Sarah who at the moment was starting to walk seductively toward the Slytherin table. Dumbledore and the other professors were watching with amusement in the eyes but did nothing to stop the event. Ginny saw Dumbledore smile at her but she looked away back to Sarah who at the mean time was on Malfoy's lap. His face was in a mix of horror and delight. Then all of the sudden Sarah kissed Malfoy on the lips and then got off of him and stood on their table. Ginny pointed her wand at her and said Sonorous. All of the sudden Sarah's voice echoed through the room.
"I am Sarah Blithe and I am here to admit my love to Malfoy who is the unfortunately the ugliest thing in the world and I want to have his children", Sarah said and everyone was bursting into laughter. Colin pointed his wand toward Sarah and said an incantation. She started singing various muggle songs and twirling around. Then she stopped and went toward the area where Snape sat. She took his face and kissed him also. Snape looked terrified and Sarah winked at him.
"Time for the light show", Ginny whispered to Colin.
"Litious", Ginny said pointing her wand at a huge firecracker under her seat. At that moment all the fireworks went off. Each one passing students and taking shape while splashing the students with glitter. Up toward the ceiling letters started to appear. Forming the sentence 'Thank you ladies and gentlemen it has been fun making you laugh' with Ginny's name on the bottom. The lights went back on the fireworks disappeared and the curtains rolled up and disappeared with a pop. Sarah stood still in front of Snape and still holding his face when she came to. She let out a shriek and ran toward the door but not before Colin stood in her path.
"Colin dear look what she did to me", Sarah yelled pointing at Ginny.
"She didn't do it alone", Colin said before taking out his camera and taking a picture of Sarah in her Gryffindor glory. She pushed Colin and ran out of the Great Hall. Everyone laughed and clapped for Ginny who stood up and bowed. She saw Hermione wink at her and Ron smiling. She looked at Harry last and he was smiling too before he mouthed the words 'the show just begun'. Ginny looked at him with a confused expression before Professor McGonagall's voice pierced through the room.
"Miss Weasley and Mister Creevy come with me', she said angrily and Ginny and Colin looked at each other before whispering shit we are screwed. They followed McGonagall to her room and took a seat facing her.
"That was by far the worst thing I could ever witness in my teaching career. How could you do such a thing to a poor little girl?", she said looking at them but they remained silent.
"I want an answer....NOW"
"Well professor it was my doing and I only did it because she is an evil person"
"Miss Weasley I don't care about how much you hate her.........I can't believe you of all people would do this. I would expect this from Mister Potter but not you"
"We're sorry Professor"
"A weeks detention for both of you starting tomorrow....you are dismissed" Ginny stood up and Colin followed.
"Miss Weasley"
"Yes Professor"
"Good job but next time, refrain from doing fireworks", McGonagall said smiling.
"Yes professor", Ginny said before walking out of the room and Colin and Ginny high- five each other and did a little dance.
"That was fun", Colin said.
"Yup.....and to think we aren't even done yet", Ginny said smiling.
"Oh hell by the time we finish we will have detention till March"
"You know it", Ginny said laughing as they headed toward the Gryffindor tower where they were bombarded by people congratulating them and the room was filled with laughter and clapping.
"Oh that was wonderful", Hermione said to them when she approached them.
"Thanks"
"So I see the spells worked"
"Yup"
"Way to go", Ron said happily hugging his sister.
"I can't breath Ron let go", Ginny said as she tried her best to get her brother off her.
"Sorry"
"So you guys loved the show", Colin asked.
"Yeah you guys are the main topic of the evening", Hermione said.
"We got a week worth of detention for it but whatever"
"Not bad", Ron said. The common room became quiet after a while when everyone finally went to bed. Only Colin, Ginny, Hermione, and Ron were in the room.
"Where is Harry", Ginny asked looking around.
"He's upstairs been there since dinner.......why did you want a kiss from him", Ron said jokingly.
"What if I did", Ginny said shyly making Ron look at her hard.
"Then why don't you go get one", Ron said.
"Because I don't think he deserves it"
"He does Ginny you have no idea what your ex is thinking of doing that boy is making me and Hermione...", Ron said but Hermione clapped her hand over his mouth and glared at him.
"What is he making you guys do"
"Nothing nothing at all"
"No really what"
"It's nothing I'm just being stupid", Ron said when Hermione let him go.
"Fine be secretive", Ginny said standing up and heading to the girls' dormitory.
"Ginny don't be a stubborn mule you'll see what he is making us do soon", Hermione said as she came up to meet Ginny.
"Yup", Ron said.
"Fine whatever.......I'm tired so I'm going to bed I'll see you all tomorrow"
"Night Gin", Colin and Ron said as they went upstairs also.
