"Dean", Ginny said not able to hide the surprise from her face and voice. Hermione and Ron looked like they would faint at any moment. Colin and Aurora just stared, not being able to process the event in front of them.

"Yes, Gin it's me", Dean said handing her the roses and kissing her on the cheek.

"I can't believe it", Ron said and Hermione smacked him on the head.

"Believe it Ron, it's me", Dean said before looking back to Ginny.

"But I thought it was", Aurora said but Dean cut her off.

"You thought it was Harry"

"Yeah, I mean we all thought so", Colin said.

"It couldn't be Harry because he's over there", Dean said pointing over to the Great Hall doors. Everyone turned to look at the Great Hall doors, only to see Harry with Sarah.

"Wow, Dean I never guessed, I mean we dated last year but", Ginny said and Dean hushed her.

"The Ball is about to begin, so why don't we all go inside and you ask me questions then", Dean said and Ginny nodded in response. They all walked inside and were blown away by the decorations. The ceiling was enchanted to show a clear sky as snowflakes fell to the floor. The tables were covered with black velvet tablecloth and an ice sculpture of an angel stood in the middle of the dance floor. Everything looks perfect, Ginny thought as she looked all around her.

"Where do you want to sit", Dean asked her and she looked up at him and a rush of disappointment filled her. She cared about Dean but not in that way. If only he were Harry, Ginny thought.

"How about over there", Ginny pointed and Dean took her hand before walking over to a table. Hermione sat next to Ginny and gave her a weak smile.

"I'm sorry Gin", Hermione whispered to her.

"Yeah but I'm even sorrier", Ginny whispered back.

"Gin, give the bloke a chance, you guys did date", Ron said with a bit off irritation at the last part.

"I know"

"I seriously thought it was Harry", Ron said as he shook his head. At the same moment Harry and Sarah came over. Sarah looked pretty in her dress. It was strapless and hugged every curve of her body. It was silver and looked to be made of satin. Ginny noticed she was wearing blue earrings. How very Ravenclaw of her, Ginny thought.

"Hey everyone", Harry said smiling as he helped Sarah into her seat.

"Hey", everyone said with no excitement in their voices.

"So where's you mystery man", Harry asked looking at Ginny. Ginny wondered why Harry was looking at her so intensely but quickly dismissed it.

"He's right here", Ginny said smiling as she gave Dean a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Dean?! You sneaky little arse", Harry said laughing.

"Yeah it's me, everyone seems to not believe though", Dean said laughing also.

"Sarah you look great", Ginny said sweetly. Might as well be nice to the slut, Ginny thought as she smiled at the plastic doll in front of her.

"You look beautiful also", Sarah said so kindly, Ginny almost fell off her chair. Sarah looked as if she meant it and that floored Ginny to no extent. Colin and Aurora came over and sat down. Aurora was looking at Sarah and that at Ginny with confusion.

"Hi Aurora Colin, you both look fab", Sarah said smiling. Aurora's eyes widened and she just responded quickly before shooting Ginny a quick "what the hell" look. Ginny just shrugged before looking at Dean.

"Would you like to dance, love", Dean asked warmly when he caught Ginny's stare. Music was playing and couples were already walking over to the dance floor.

"That would be fantastic", Ginny said smiling. She stood up and glanced over at Harry. He was talking to Sarah but Ginny could see him stiffen when Dean kissed her hand. What is wrong with him, Ginny thought before walking with Dean to the dance floor.

Hermione and Ron followed a few minutes later. Dean held Ginny closely at the waist as Ginny put her arms around his neck. He looked down at her and Ginny could see his eyes sparkling with laughter. She gave him a confused look but he only shook his head.

Ginny and Dean danced for two hours and Ginny was having so much fun that she couldn't believe it. Harry and Sarah were dancing a few feet away as were Hermione and Ron. Colin and Sarah were dancing further away but Ginny could see the loving couple sharing kisses every few seconds. Dean excused himself to get them drinks which left Ginny to go over to the table alone.

"Didn't you have some questions for me", Dean whispered into her ear as he put the cups down on the table.

"Yes"

"Then ask away, before it's time for your next surprise"

"Next surprise?"

"Not yet, first questions"

"Okay, I want to know why you could have just told me"

"Because it's very intimidating to try to court you when everyone knows you care for Harry", Dean said simply and Ginny looked up at him about to protest. Dean smiled and sat down next to her. They stayed quiet for a few minutes before Dean continued.

"I know you both are friends but it's still visible in your eyes and actions"

"Dean, I don't know what to say"

"I understand, you don't have to say sorry or anything. You love him, I can see that. There's no need to lie to me or try to save my feelings. In truth Gin I have a confession of my own", Dean said.

"What confession", Ginny asked.

"I can't tell you, but I can show you", Dean said smiling and Ginny was beginning to get nervous.

"Come", Dean said holding out his hand. Ginny took it and Dean led her outside.

"What is the meaning of this", Ginny asked as he led her into a darkened part of the school grounds before stopping abruptly.

"This is the meaning", Dean said before he took out his wand. Ginny let out a gasp and took a step back, afraid that Dean had done mental. Dean said a spell and quickly the darkness was filled with light. Ginny stood in the middle of the Quidditch field. The ground had been changed into a beautiful white marble floor and four tables with seats for two were placed to the right. All of the sudden a small musical orchestra appeared on the left and started to play an enchanting song.

"Ginny, I saw the disappointment in your eyes when you saw who I was"

"No, I wasn't", Ginny said but yet again Dean silenced her with his finger to her lips.

"Shh, let me finish", Dean said as Ginny nodded.

"I saw how you stared at Harry all night, and it's time for me to tell you the truth"

"And that would be", Ginny asked.

"That I'm not your admirer"

"WHAT", Ginny said loudly before taking a step back.

"You heard me", Dean said laughing.

"Then what is this", Ginny said pointing to the Quidditch field.

"It's something, but I didn't do it. I'm only a messenger. An assistant if you wish to call me that", Dean said smiling.

"Then who is my mystery guy"

"I am", someone said from behind them and Ginny turned around to see someone in a black cloak.

"Who are you", Ginny asked softly as the cloaked stranger walked to her.

"I'm someone who loves you more than life", he said before taking off the hood. Ginny gasped and took a step back as she stared into the eyes of.

"Harry", Ginny whispered.

"Yes, it's me"

"But I thought.........you........Sarah", Ginny said unable to put a sentence together.

"Sarah is Dean's date and this was all planned out", Harry said taking a step forward and taking Ginny into his arms.

"You're my Prince Charming", Ginny asked him as she stared into his eyes.

"Yes, and I'm not going anywhere", Harry said before kissing her passionately. Ginny slowly put her arms around him and he held on tighter. The kiss lasted forever in Ginny's opinion before Harry pulled away reluctantly.

"Finally", someone said and Ginny turned to see who it was. Ron, Hermione, Colin, Aurora, and Sarah stood in the entrance way.

"You know how bad I felt, watching Ginny sulk all night", Hermione said shaking her head.

"You knew", Ginny exclaimed.

"Yeah, we all knew but Harry put us into a blood oath so that we couldn't say anything to you", Hermione said.

"They helped me with everything", Harry said as he looked at Ginny.

"Hermione placed the letter on your bed, Colin was the one who put the images into the crystal ball, Aurora disguised herself as Malfoy, Sarah pretended to be my date, and Ron helped set up all this. Of course Dean pretended to be the mystery guy before everything was set", Harry continued to explain. Ginny stared at all of them with an open mouth.

"Little sister, close your mouth unless you want to catch flies", Ron said laughing.

"This was all for me", Ginny asked quietly ignoring Ron's comment and looking at Harry.

"Yes, this was all for you. I messed up big time when Sarah and I did what we did. I had to show you that I cared and I'm sorry if in the process you felt miserable. I just needed to show that I won't hurt you again", Harry said before kissing her on the lips softly.

"Sarah", Ginny said as she pulled away and walked over to her. Sarah smiled weakly and let out a nervous laugh.

"Sarah, why would you help?"

"Because I messed up a great thing, I realize that. Harry and I are just friends and nothing else, I promise. Plus after what happened between us, he said that he loved you. He was the one who showed me to Dean and now I'm in love with him", Sarah said.

"Please forgive me, I'm not that bad when you get to know me", she continued.

"We'll see", Ginny said smiling warmly. She gave Sarah a hug and turned around to look at Harry, at the boy she fell in love with.

"You know this whole thing was very Slytherin like", Ginny said as Harry walked over to her and pulled her close.

"That's what Hermione said, guess that Sorting Hat knows more than we give it credit", Harry whispered into her ear.

"Thank you guys", Ginny said once Harry and her pulled away.

"It was no problem", Colin said.

"Easy for you to say, you weren't the one who got slammed into a wall by Harry", Aurora said with sarcasm.

"Poor baby", Colin said giving her a kiss.

"So what do we do now", Ron asked and Hermione smacked him again.

"What it was just a question", Ron said rubbing his head.

"We enjoy our own little winter ball right here", Harry said and everyone nodded. Harry and Ginny danced to the lovely melodies that the orchestra played. House elves served dinner with Dobby present. Dobby was wearing a cute little tux that Hermione said she made. The other house elves wore clothes also and Ginny found out later from Hermione that they were really pillow cases that she transfigured. The house elves didn't know they had clothes on because it was enchanted to look like pillow cases. After eating and hearing Hermione yell at Ron for spitting food at her, everyone was either talking or dancing.

"Is this everything you wanted", Harry said as they danced in the middle of the dance floor.

"Yes, it's everything I've ever wanted and more", Ginny said.

"You mean so much to me Gin Bear, I just want you to know that", Harry said as he kissed her forehead. Ginny laid her head on Harry's chest and closed her eyes.

"And you mean so much to me, Harry", Ginny said as she kept her eyes closed.

"I love you", Harry said.

"I love you", Ginny said back and they shared a kiss that blew Ginny away. As they kissed snow started to fall but neither noticed or didn't care.

"They look beautiful together", Hermione said to Ron as they watched from the table.

"They're perfect for each other", Ron said.

"Yes, they truly are", Hermione said.

They all went inside around midnight but Harry and Ginny decided to stay in the common room. Ron and Hermione wished them good-night as did Colin before sleeply going upstairs. They cuddled on the couch as Ginny leaned on Harry.

"I don't want this to end", Ginny said as she watched the fire in the fireplace.

"It never will", Harry said softly giving her a kiss and they both fell asleep in each others arms. That was how the whole Gryffindor house found them the next day, sleeping in each others arms and still in their formal clothing.
